The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link's injury was actually far more serious than Old Kled and others knew.

Although Mike had adopted the most reasonable fighting method in the few minutes he came out to fight, he still caused great damage to Link's body.

Nowadays, Link not only needs to drink several large cups of specially formulated potions every day, but the surface of his body is also covered with bandages.

The reason why Link chose to sit in such an exaggerated chair when meeting Percy today.

It is precisely because only such a soft and weightless chair can reduce Link's physical pain as much as possible.

The only thing that makes Mrs. Foley and Emily feel lucky now is that Link's injury was treated as quickly as possible, so there will be no sequelae.

Link can be said to be quite lucky in this regard.

After all, people like One-Eyed Moody and Scrimgeour did not have such good medical conditions back then, which resulted in lifelong disabilities.

After carefully observing the bandage on his chest and seeing that there was no leakage on it, Link breathed a sigh of relief and carefully closed his pajamas.

But then he did not sleep in the warm chair as Emily had wished, but stretched out his right hand, which was also bandaged.

As the fireplace bonfire swayed, the surrounding water mist began to rush toward Link's palm crazily, driven by magic power, and soon formed a crystal clear small water ball suspended in the air.

If Professor Flitwick, who taught him the magic spells, saw this scene, he would probably fall off the chair specially propped up with books in excitement.

Because although this water ball looks ordinary at first glance, Link did not use magic spells or wands at all during the entire process of condensing the water ball.

Normally this happens only to legendary wizards like Dumbledore or Voldemort.

Because being able to do this means that the spell caster has completely conquered the magic power in the body and reached a level that can only be accessed by the truly top spell casters in ancient times.

Naturally, Link has not yet reached the level of a legendary wizard like Dumbledore and Voldemort.

The reason he was able to do this was entirely due to his ability to control water.

In the same way, he can do similar things by using the power of curses.

But even though this is a kind of cheating, it is already amazing.

After all, this indicates that Link has experienced the changes that this level brings to the body, which will make it much easier for Link to enter the legendary level in the future.

In other words, there is no bottleneck.

However, Link looked at the water ball in his hand and just sighed in disappointment before casually dismantling the water ball into water vapor that filled the sky.

After all, he still couldn't form the cold mist or ice crystal shield like the one Mike used when he appeared.

This is not caused by Link's current injuries.

It's because Link's own abilities are not strong enough.

With Link's current ability to control water, it is already the limit to fuse the power of the curse with liquid to create an extremely corrosive and terrifying 'cold poison'.

But although Mike's cold mist and ice crystal shield are essentially a fusion of magic and liquid, the purity of the magic and the degree of fusion of the two have reached an astonishing level.

This is something Link can't do now no matter what.

Sometimes Link himself is actually confused.

According to common sense, Mike is using his body to fight, so the abilities he uses should also be inherent in his body.

At most, Mike made some adjustments in the application method or control details.

But why is Mike's ability always so strong?

This was the case before on the night of Voldemort's resurrection, and it was also the case this time during the Battle of Gringotts.

This gives Link the feeling that the ability level used by Mike is always one level higher than his.

So what causes this?

Could it be that the bloodline ability with inexplicable power in Link's body is more willing to be close to Mike, or that it hates Link, so it deliberately suppresses Link's power?

This is almost the only possibility that Link can think of at the moment.

But there is something unreasonable in it.

That is, Link's abilities are all given by the system.

Thinking of this, Link felt as if he was in a fog.

The so-called truth was obviously very close to him, but it was obscured by thick fog, preventing him from getting the full picture.

"Ugh--"

With a long sigh, Link could only sit down on the soft chair and stare at the ceiling.

But what Link didn't know was.

Just as he rolled his eyes upward, a small pattern deep in his eyeballs was revealed due to his movement.

If you look closely you will find it.

This pattern is almost identical to the pattern that appeared on the system panel after Link returned from Germany.

……

at the same time.

Inside the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Ron and Hermione were also huddled around Harry reading today's Daily Prophet.

This is almost their daily routine every morning.

The only difference is that Ron really had no money before, so he could only read Harry's newspapers.

Now this behavior has become a simple way for friends to express closeness to Ron.

"Hey, the Death Eaters actually ransacked Gringotts. This is really big news! Ha! Take a look at that big hole. It looks like all the underground vaults have been damaged!"

Ron said with some gloating.

His family has never had more than 10 gold Galleons in Gringotts' vault, and he hasn't had time to deposit his own salary into Gringotts, so he feels that he can enjoy the jokes of those unlucky people. .

But as soon as he finished speaking, Hermione hit him hard on the head.

Ron screamed after being beaten, shrunk his neck, touched his head, and looked at Hermione in great confusion, only to see the other person pointed at Harry, who was looking down and stroking his forehead in an uncomfortable manner.

This made Ron's eyes instantly widen.

He suddenly remembered that the large inheritance left to him by Harry's parents was placed in the underground vault of Gringotts!

It's not just Harry.

And Sirius Black, and Link!

In that case, didn't they all become victims of the 'Gringotts Heist' this time?

"Clap--"

Ron slapped himself twice, and then apologized to Harry:

"I'm sorry, Harry, I said the wrong thing. From now on..."

He had just finished speaking when Hermione hit her on the head again.

Taking advantage of Ron's scream, Hermione took over the conversation, pointed to a passage in the newspaper and said:

"Harry, actually you don't have to worry too much. You see, the Daily Prophet has already said that Gringotts must compensate all depositors in such a big accident. Even if your money is really stolen It doesn’t matter, just ask the goblins at Gringotts for it.”

Listening to Ron and Hermione's comfort, Harry said nothing, just shook his head impatiently, and then pressed his head harder.

To be precise, it's actually the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

The headache caused by the scar has basically healed.

However, when he saw the magical photo in the Daily Prophet today, especially the mark of the dark devil in the photo, that heart-breaking pain swept over him again.

In contrast, blurry pictures began to flash before his eyes.

Explosions, fire, and death are the main themes of these images.

But from the blurry surroundings, Harry could still tell that the location described in the picture was the Gringotts ruins he had just seen.

And a strange figure in the picture also caught his attention.

The figure's whole body was wrapped in thick cold fog and black smoke, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. But for some reason, Harry had a feeling - this person was Link!

"Ah! Voldemort...Voldemort..."

Harry moaned intermittently, sweat dripping from his cheeks.

At this time, Ron and Hermione finally noticed Harry's abnormality, and quickly leaned over and asked anxiously.

But before he could hear what they were saying clearly, Harry reached out and grasped Ron's sleeve and said in a weak voice:

"Quick! Go tell Dumbledore! The Daily Prophet is lying. The thugs who attacked and looted Gringotts were not thugs pretending to be Death Eaters at all, but real Death Eaters! Also, there was Voldemort himself. At the scene! I saw it, I saw it all... Link, Link was fighting him..."

"what?!"

Ron exclaimed when he heard this, his body trembling unconsciously, and his hand almost stuffed into his mouth.

Hermione on the side reacted much faster.

His expression changed drastically and at the same time he had already jumped towards the stairs.

Just ten minutes later, Professor McGonagall and Hermione jogged into the auditorium.

Because it was Christmas, the Hogwarts auditorium was wrapped with Christmas lights and various ribbons, and the armor standing in the corner was even dressed up to look like Santa Claus.

The students who got up late came yawning and discussing last night's Christmas dinner. The festive atmosphere seemed so out of place with the three Harrys.

Professor McGonagall had no intention of disturbing the atmosphere in the auditorium.

She came up and waved her hand to signal Harry not to say anything, and then directed Hermione and Ron to carry Harry to the infirmary.

It wasn't until Harry was lying on the bed in the infirmary after the examination that Professor McGonagall said with a tense face:

"Harry, what did you mean about Link fighting Voldemort?"

Harry's headache had improved a lot after Madam Pomfrey gave him a large glass of unknown potion, and he was currently resting with his eyes closed.

When he heard Professor McGonagall's question, he opened his eyes and answered something unexpected:

"When can Professor Dumbledore come?"

Professor McGonagall suddenly fell silent.

She lowered her eyes and said stiffly after a long time:

"He is still out doing business and has not come back yet. But you can tell me everything and I will write to him later."

Hearing this, Harry's eyes showed deep disappointment.

As early as a few days ago, he had wanted to have a good talk with Dumbledore again about his headache.

After all, he always felt that the fact that he could see things from Voldemort's first-person perspective must contain some big secrets that he didn't know about.

At that time, Professor McGonagall asked him to wait a few more days.

Who knew that this wait would be here now.

However, it was hard for him to blame Professor McGonagall for this kind of thing.

Sighing deeply, Harry could only describe to Professor McGonagall his sudden headache after seeing the Daily Prophet and the scenes he saw while having a headache.

As Harry spoke, Professor McGonagall's expression became increasingly ugly.

By the time Harry finished speaking, Professor McGonagall's face had turned pale and completely drained of color.

This made Harry feel a little scared.

But he still mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice:

"Professor McGonagall, if you ask Link, will he be okay?"

"I will send a letter to ask about his situation later, and I will let you know as soon as I have any news. Pomfrey said that there is nothing serious about your body, so you can go back after resting here for a while. School is about to start, and I think it’s time for you to prepare for the next semester’s homework! Don’t forget! This is your OWL exam year!”

Listening to Professor McGonagall mentioning homework, Harry instinctively shrank his head.

This year, professors from all subjects are giving them homework like crazy, even during the Christmas holiday.

As for those so-called homeworks, Harry has not touched a single word during the Christmas vacation.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall mentioned it in passing and had no intention of checking Harry's homework progress in advance.

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

But she paused just as her hand touched the door handle.

She glanced at Harry with a complicated expression, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally said:

"Harry, Dumbledore didn't mean to avoid you. He really has something to deal with."

Hearing this, Harry was stunned for a moment, with a look of disappointment on his face, but he still nodded.

"Dumbledore has actually already thought of a good way to treat your 'precognitive dreams'." Professor McGonagall continued, "He plans to let you learn Occlumency from next semester."

"Occlumency?" Harry repeated in confusion, "What is it?"

"It's a defensive spell that prevents the mind from being invaded by outsiders. It's a very obscure branch of magic, but it's very useful."

Harry's heart beat violently.

Prevent foreign invasion?So his headaches and those weird scenes were all caused by someone invading his brain?But who would do that?

A terrifying and ferocious figure slowly began to appear in Harry's mind...

"Dumbledore originally asked me to keep it a secret from you, but I think it's better to let you know in advance." Professor McGonagall continued, "Starting from next semester, you will receive individual tutoring once a week, but you cannot tell anyone. Especially Dolores Umbridge. Got it?"

The return of Professor McGonagall's stern voice made Harry recover slightly from his shock.

He nodded hurriedly, and then said in a tone that was half expectant and half curious:

"So, who will teach me? Is it Professor Dumbledore? Doesn't he plan to teach me himself when he comes back?"

Professor McGonagall shook her head and looked at Harry with pity.

"Unfortunately, Dumbledore is very busy," said Professor McGonagall, "but he has hired another professor with the same expertise for you - Severus Snape."
