The man behind Hogwarts

Snape saw this and knew that he had been discovered, so he could only end the magic.

Then he remained silent.

Mag glared at him and turned to check on William.

Snape rubbed his fingers twice, feeling a little unwilling.

According to the thoughts and memories obtained from William, he has no connection with Voldemort, and he doesn't even know what magic is.

but.

What is that hotel in his memory?

Why does such a thing exist?

Snape was frustrated.

Although he successfully entered William's memory and absorbed his thoughts, he was unable to make a breakthrough regarding the hotel.

OVERLOOKHOTEL?

Does it have any profound meaning?

After this battle, Snape felt that William must be hiding many secrets.

And it is of great power.

William howled a few more times.

After he felt that his body had returned to normal and his mind was no longer disturbed by being spied on, he calmed down.

"I'm all right."

Mag comforted him a few words, and William excused himself to attend class and left first.

There were only three people left on the independent rooftop of the high-rise building.

"Snape, did you use magic just now?" McGonagall asked directly.

"That's right, Legilimency."

"How can you use magic on ordinary people without permission? And also Legilimency?"

Snape was speechless.

"I will tell Dumbledore and I hope you can explain it."

McGonagall looked at Hagrid, who was huddled aside, "Hagrid, next you will be responsible for William's admission guidance."

"Should we still let him enroll in school?"

"Yes, we know almost all of his information. Although what he did is somewhat inappropriate, at least he is a student and loves learning, so we have no reason to reject him."

There was one more thing Mag didn't say.

Denying admission to a young wizard also requires reporting to the Ministry of Magic.

Unless there are extremely serious and special reasons, magic schools are not allowed to deny admission to young wizards.

Including making the little wizard repeat a grade, drop out of school, etc.

He took out a small mirror from his clothes.

The silver-white round mirror is engraved with gorgeous patterns on the periphery and has a handle.

Mag inputted the magic power.

After a while, an old man with white hair and white beard appeared in the mirror.

"Dumbledore."

"Professor McGonagall, what's the matter?"

Mag looked solemnly and said to the mirror: "I have an emergency here and I need to talk to you."

"There is a new student this year named William Sides. After our investigation, we found that he has killed people and is the boss of a gang, but he also likes to study very much. Both teachers and students speak highly of him. .”

"In the end, I decided to allow him to enroll."

Dumbledore listened intently.

"I agree with your decision." He also looked elegant in the mirror, "They are just children, and their backgrounds are difficult. Without the care and guidance of adults, they will inevitably do some bad things."

"But isn't this the responsibility of us teachers, to guide them and teach them."

His voice was a little sad.

And the word "they" is used in the discourse. Besides William, is anyone else in this situation?

Mag understood, but didn't say much.

"While talking to William outside, William suddenly felt abnormal and said that someone was casting magic on him."

"After my investigation, I determined that Snape used Legilimency on him."

Oh?

Dumbledore looked surprised.

"Professor Snape, is what Professor McGonagall said true?"

Snape didn't defend himself, "It's true. I did use Legilimency."

"Why are you doing this?"

McGonagall, Hagrid, and Dumbledore in the mirror all looked at Snape.

Snape's expression remained cold.

"Because I think he is too mature, too smart, and very scheming to win over people."

"Just because of this?"

"Yes."

"No, Snape, you must have a deeper reason. I understand you. You will not use Legilimency on a little wizard just because of your opinions."

Snape was silent for a moment.

"Originally I had no objection to him and even admired him. But the more I got to know him, the more worried I became."

"I saw the shadow of that person in him."

that person?

Several people instantly understood who he was talking about.

Dumbledore shook his head.

"We have no way to determine whether a student will be a good person or a bad person in the future. No one can predict it, and there is no magic that can do it."

"Our responsibility is to try to teach him to be a good person."

"Instead of feeling that he will become a bad person, kill him in advance."

"This kind of behavior is more evil than a simple bad person."

In the mirror, Dumbledore slowly stood up and sat on the chair.

Only then did the three of them realize that he was actually wearing pajamas.

"Where are you? It's night now." Mag asked curiously.

Haha.

Dumbledore smiled mischievously.

"I'm at the bottom of your feet."

"Soles of your feet? You actually went to the other side of the world!"

"Yes, it took a lot of effort to get here. Crossing the border is really troublesome."

Mag's black face.

"I'm so busy at Hogwarts, but you go on a trip?"

Beside the rooftop guardrail, a tabby cat was clearly resentful.

Uh uh.

Dumbledore laughed dryly.

A clever change of subject.

"Professor Snape, have you discovered anything about William's Legilimency?"

"It's strange."

"William's thoughts and memories are quite strange."

"What should I say?" Mag's attention was indeed diverted.

"First of all, his mind, spirit, and memory are all very strong, not at all what he should be at his age."

"Besides, there is something strange in his memory."

While talking, Snape suddenly felt that the sky was getting darker.

Look up.

Hagrid stood in front of him at some point, bending down to listen.

Uh?

Shall I speak louder?

Snape increased his volume and continued, "I discovered a hotel in his memory called OVERLOOKHOTEL. It actually looks like a real hotel, standing deep in his memory."

"What's in the hotel?" Hagrid asked.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

What does your tone mean? Is it useless to dislike me?

Snape is angry(｀⌒?0?7メ)

"The hotel's defenses are stronger than Occlumency. I couldn't get in."

"But there was a plant maze outside the hotel. I went in and walked around, but I didn't feel comfortable for some reason, so I quit."

Well.

Dumbledore held his head.

"It seems that this little William does have a little secret."

Snape: No, it's a great power.

"Put it aside William's matters for now. When school starts, I'll come back and take a look."

"Professor Snape, your behavior today was inappropriate and you cannot do it again next time."

"Ok."

Professor McGonagall didn't say anything when she heard Dumbledore's treatment.
