Hogwarts Wizard of the Deep

Chapter 85 Meat
The next night.

The cheers from the auditorium downstairs reached Linde's ears one after another, and Dumbledore announced the great achievements of Harry and his party downstairs.

Linde stood in front of the window. The combination of the cheers downstairs and the quiet moonlit night outside gave him a sense of unreality, which made him a little dazed.

He just kept standing, standing.

There was an open book of "Standard Spells: Level III" next to the hospital bed. He tried to read the book to pass the time before, but he couldn't read it.

Linde just looked up at the sky, expressionless, thinking about Cthulhu, Andersen, Charms over and over in his mind...

After an unknown amount of time, he heard a voice behind him. "I think you should be tired of staying here, why don't you go to my office!" Dumbledore had come behind him at some point.

Linde turned his head, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes. Last night he asked Madam Pomfrey when she could leave.

At that time, Madam Pomfrey said that he was just physically deficient, so he should cultivate himself first, and Dumbledore would come to him after the year-end banquet.

The bursts of sound that erupted in the auditorium downstairs just now are probably the cheers that Gryffindor won the Academy Cup with Dumbledore's super extra points.

Linde hurriedly put away the books and pockets on the table.

Fortunately, nothing related to unicorns was packed in this bag, otherwise Dumbledore might have discovered it.

Thinking about it, Linde put away all his things, and looked at Dumbledore leisurely.

Dumbledore took his hand, and with a wave of his wand, Lind immediately felt a silver veil covering his body.

Phantasm

After that, Dumbledore lifted the curtain of the cubicle and led Linde out.The mattress and quilt automatically flew up and folded behind him.

Along the way, I often encountered cheering wizards, big and small, but whenever they approached the two of them, they would automatically avoid their positions due to accidents or for no reason, and they didn't know what magic spell was at work.

This scene gave Linde a feeling of wandering in the world. He inexplicably felt that his Occlumency practice had improved a bit.

At the same time, she also met Professor McGonagall, her eyes fell on the two of them, she nodded vaguely as a greeting, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

The two of them were unimpeded along the way, and they came to Dumbledore's office just like that.

The moment he stepped into the spiral staircase, the spell of disillusionment was released.When the two went up, Linde didn't say a word, but just tidied up his clothes.

When he came to the office, Linde first looked around and tried to find Andersen's location.

Fox stood on the gilded perch, looking helplessly at a bird's nest made of branches of an unknown tree below.

Dumbledore patted him on the back and motioned him to look forward, "Go! Its condition has stabilized a lot. Fox's eyes are swollen from crying these two days haha!"

"Is it swollen from crying? Is it worried about Andersen?" Linde asked puzzled, and then realized that Phoenix's tears have a very powerful healing effect.

Linde was a little ashamed, and hurried over to look at the bird's nest.

I saw a piece of flesh writhing tentacles in the bird's nest, and blue-purple feathers, long or short, continuously grew out of the piece of flesh, and then fell off again, repeating the cycle.The entire nest is already crowded with grown feathers.

At the same time, as if sensing Linde's arrival, the fleshy mass turned over and squeezed out some bloody mucus, and then squeezed out the familiar bird's beak.

"Goo... Goo (my good big brother——)"

"Gu quack... (Don't worry, brother, I feel better now.)"

Linde was a little nervous looking at it at first, but now he felt relieved after hearing its mean voice.

A rare smile hangs on the corner of his mouth, "How do you know it's me?"

"Quack... (I'm very sensitive to smells now...and I feel like I'm going to change a lot for better or worse)"

Dumbledore also walked to Linde, "I didn't dare to act rashly, it's a little different from Harry's situation."

Linde just wanted to ask this question.

In the Room of Requirement, Harry was quickly transformed into a murloc, and then Dumbledore soon came and transformed him back into a normal human form.

He also didn't know whether Harry had completely returned to his normal appearance now or would become an abnormal person like him who was a murloc in water.

But Andersen is even more strange here. Its change is due to pecking at the tentacles formed by Cthulhu through his own body. The change process takes longer, stranger, and weirder.

At the same time, it also calls itself the boss, which is also something that makes Linde happy.

Although its flesh was polluted, its mind was not corrupted by Him.

Linde nodded, and then said to the piece of meat in the nest: "Okay, you should stay here first!"

Hearing what he said, the beak was rolled into the meat again, and then began to beat regularly, like the breathing of the lungs, and the beating of the heart.

Linde looked around again. The principals on the wall were still pretending to be asleep. They seemed to have their own news channels. He seemed to vaguely hear them arguing when he was still on the spiral staircase, but now they all climbed quietly. At the table, one of the principals snored on purpose.

Then I saw the damned sorting hat.

"Professor, to be honest, I don't think I'm a Gryffindor."

Dumbledore looked at him with great interest, "Oh, then which academy do you think you look like?"

Linde rubbed his temples, "Well, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff!"

"It's an interesting idea, but the Sorting Hat never makes mistakes. There must be courage and justice in your heart that you can't see." He tapped Linde's left chest heart.

"Uh, maybe!" Linde returned to that rigid face, and it was a done deal, there was no need to entangle the matter of sorting.

Then he saw the Mirror of Erised, which was behind a cupboard and hadn't noticed it at first.

Dumbledore also noticed Linde's gaze, and started tonight's communication in a timely manner.

"That's the Mirror of Erised, which allows us to see our deepest, most intense desires."

As he spoke, he led Linde across the small table and cabinet to the mirror.

"I always see myself holding a pair of thick wool socks."

Dumbledore spread his hands helplessly.

"There's never enough socks. Christmas comes and goes. I don't get a pair of socks. People insist on sending me books. But I'm not going to put it bluntly, those mostly academic books don't do much for me."

As he said that, he waved his hands a little like Versailles.However, if Linde remembers correctly, there were several theories about wool socks in his previous life.

The first type, woolen socks are commonly used at Christmas, and Christmas is often a holiday spent with family members, so Dumbledore’s woolen socks refer to his longing for family.

The second type, saying that the wool socks are in pairs, refers to his feelings for Grindelwald.

The third is that he just said it casually.

Originally, Linde preferred the third type, because the most troublesome thing he found in reading novels before was over-interpretation.But now according to the original.Dumbledore should have already said "wool socks" to Harry.

I mentioned wool socks twice, could it be that Dumbledore was really referring to something in a vague way!

Linde didn't know, but it wasn't his business either.

At this time, Dumbledore beckoned him to go over and look in the mirror, as if two friends, one of whom found something interesting, and then hurriedly wanted to share it with the other.
