The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

As Snape finished speaking, everyone in the office turned their attention to Harry.

This panicked Harry a little.

"I...I went to attend the death anniversary dinner. There were hundreds of ghosts present! They can all testify for me!"

"Even a three-year-old child knows that a ghost's dinner party is a nightmare for humans. Why would you abandon a good Halloween dinner and go to that messy death anniversary dinner?" Snape He kept getting closer to Harry and said, "Besides, the death anniversary dinner ends much earlier than the Halloween dinner. Why don't you come back earlier?"

"Because...because I'm too tired and want to go back to the lounge..."

"lie!"

Snape suddenly interrupted Harry's words with a sharp shout, and Filch, who only reacted after seeing this, echoed:

"Yes! That's right! It's just a lie!"

Listening to the words of these two people, Harry's little face turned pale, and he could only look at Dumbledore as if pleading.

"Okay, don't say anything anymore." Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "You can leave. We will investigate the follow-up of this matter. You also go out, Lockhart."

"But……"

Filch wanted to say something more, but was blocked by Dumbledore's eyes.

As for Harry, he started walking out of the office as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, and his steps were so fast that he was almost running.

But looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Link had no intention of leaving.

He knew very well that although Dumbledore did not say it explicitly, he would definitely come to question him later.

Sure enough, as soon as the office door closed, Dumbledore looked towards Link.

It was a very complicated look, filled with self-blame and distress, but more importantly, it was vigilance.

"Link, your older friend did this, right?"

Dumbledore said slowly.

Although the sentence is a question, the tone is extremely certain.

Link didn't make any excuses when he saw this, he just nodded and said:

"It should be it."

"So... do you have anything to say about this matter?"

"I know what you want to say, Principal Dumbledore." Link, who turned on Occlumency, said expressionlessly, "But this matter really has nothing to do with me. In fact, since that night last semester, I It has lost contact with Arkham, and it seems to be deliberately avoiding me."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then came closer, looked at Link and said:

"Is everything you said true?"

Dumbledore's tone was gentle, and the expression on his face was sincere and kind.

This made Link feel a warmth gradually arise in his body, which gently expelled the effect of Occlumency. This feeling was really comfortable, so comfortable that Link's originally cold expression gradually relaxed.

However, at the next moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Dumbledore!"

It's Snape!

The warmth suddenly subsided, Link shivered suddenly, and at the same time, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

'What a risk! '

Link couldn't help but take a few steps back.

If it hadn't been for Snape's sudden voice, Dumbledore would have broken through Link's Occlumency and invaded his brain.

Dumbledore, whose plan failed, looked helplessly at Snape, who was looking at him coldly, and finally looked at Link again and said:

"Link, does this matter have nothing to do with you?"

"Of course it doesn't matter!"

Link said coldly.

Dumbledore's actions just now have caused his impression in Link's mind to fall to the extreme.

Seeing this, Dumbledore sighed and said:

"I believe in you, but I only believe in you, Link."

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly paused, and then looked at Snape with a questioning look. Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, he continued:

"Aren't you always wondering what disease you have? I can tell you today."

"What you suffer from is a rare disease called polysomnia. Its existence causes two completely different souls to appear in your body fighting for control of your body. If that's the case, it's not a big deal. Yes, but the problem is that your other soul is powerful and evil, full of hatred for the world and trying to destroy everything. We also gave him a name, Mike."

"Link, you are a kind boy. I can trust you 100%. But Mike is different. As far as I know, he is completely capable of doing this kind of thing."

Dumbledore's narration ended.

However, the expression on Link's face did not change at all when he heard this.

This is actually the effect of Occlumency.

In fact, Link is already said to be a little confused now.

After all, there was too much information in Dumbledore's words.

Fortunately, with the blessing of Occlumency, Link was still able to conduct a rational analysis, and after analyzing for a while, Link's mood stabilized.

If you think about it carefully, what Dumbledore said actually has nothing to do with him.

Link has never had any physical problems since he traveled to this world, and he has never had symptoms of split personality.

Therefore, he speculated that the two original souls in this body were most likely dead.

That's why he had the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest.

On the other side, Dumbledore's expression became a little complicated after waiting for a while so that Link could accept the reality.

The reason why he had been hiding this from Link before was because he was afraid that Link would not be able to accept this reality and his personality would collapse.

But now it seems that with the blessing of Occlumency, Link's psychological defense has grown.

Of course, there are disadvantages to this.

Just like just now, if it weren't for Occlumency, he would have invaded Link's mind to find the answer himself.

Dumbledore shook his head subtly, and said softly:

"Link, I'm sorry. Let's do this. I will let Professor Snape continue to improve the potion formula according to your situation and increase the dosage. At the same time, I will observe your recent behavior to judge your situation. Regarding this, I I hope you can understand."

"Of course." Link said without hesitation, "But I also hope that you can increase the intensity of the investigation on this matter! I really want to catch the guy who manipulated Arkham to do bad things and teach him a lesson. A meal!”

"Don't worry, we will do our best. This is my responsibility as the principal of Hogwarts!"

Dumbledore said solemnly, and then made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Link could leave.

Seeing this, Link did not hesitate and walked out of the office, leaving only Dumbledore and Snape still inside.

"Tsk!"

Link closed the door again, frowned and smacked his lips, then turned and walked towards the Hufflepuff lounge.

However, before he had even taken two steps, he spotted a dark figure crouching in a corner not far away.
