Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"You are so generous, and I can't thank you enough." Lupine wiped his eyes and said, "It would be too disrespectful for you to continue to call me Moony. My real name is Remus Lupin."

I already knew that.

Dean was complaining in his heart, but he looked very happy: "It seems that I have won some of your trust. It is really worth celebrating."

"You are joking."

"Mr. Lupine, I have a little problem right now. I wonder if you can help me?" Dean said.

"Please speak."

"I want to go to Hogsmeade now, but for some reasons, I don't want to use Apparition..."

"Why not try the Knight Bus?" Lupine suggested enthusiastically. "That's an emergency bus for witches or wizards in distress. As long as you raise your wand, the bus will suddenly appear and take you to your destination. Anywhere on land you want to go.”

"I know, but I'm not sure if it's going to show up here." Dean was ashamed. He had forgotten about it.

"Why not try it?" Lupine said, raising his wand.

After a deafening bang, a three-story bright purple bus suddenly appeared from the thin air.Gold letters on the car's windshield formed the words: Knight Bus.

"Hello and welcome to the Knight Bus. Just stick out your wand and step on board and we'll take you wherever you want to go. I'm Erne Plan and I'll be your driver and... ...Conductor——" An older wizard wearing glasses with thick lenses said weakly after opening the door.

"Hello, Ern, long time no see. Why are you alone today?" Lupine greeted.

"Well, the little guy who's new to work can't stand it anymore, I'm letting him rest." Ern pointed to the top of his head, and a long snoring sound came from the third floor.

"Are you busy lately?" Lupine asked after taking Dean into the car.

"Fortunately, few people need our services at this time." Ern said, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Hogsmeade first." Lupine replied after looking at Dean who was inscrutable and silent.

In fact, Dean did not mean it, but was stunned by the Knight Bus. He had never seen such a bizarre vehicle: there were no seats in the car; behind the curtained window, there were six tapes. Bed with Brass Pillars - There were no passengers in the car except Lupin and Dean.

By the time Dean came to his senses, Lupine had already paid Dean's fare to Ern - a total of 14 Sickles. I don't know if it was because the distance was not far or because Ern paid him for the sake of being an old acquaintance. After all, Dean thinks it's not expensive anyway.

"Choose a bed and take a rest. We'll be there in a moment." Ern said and started the car.

There was another loud bang, and Dean fell on the bed involuntarily, the speed of the Knight Bus throwing him backwards.

Dean looked out the window. The Knight Bus was like a drunkard, stumbling along the edge of a canyon with no road at all. The trees and rocks on both sides jumped out of the way. Several times, Dean almost thought they were going to fall into the canyon. Down below, the car always magically returns to the edge of the canyon at the critical moment.

"Mr. Lupin, do you often take the Knight Bus?" Dean asked, having nothing to say.

"There was a time, yes." Lupine said with great nostalgia, "That was about ten years ago, when my friends and I often traveled on the Knight Bus. It was really the best time in my life... …”

Dean estimated that Lupine was probably talking about the time he spent with Harry's father, Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew.

"What happened next?" Dean couldn't help but ask.

"Later...there were some accidents, and I lost some of my best friends. Since then, my life has gradually become depressing, and I have never taken a knight bus again." Lu Ping's face showed a strong look. An expression of unresolved sadness.

"Sorry." Dean said quickly.

"It's nothing. Let's rest for a while. It will probably take more than an hour to reach Hogsmeade." Lupine said and closed his eyes tiredly.

Dean closed his mouth knowingly. He could just take this opportunity to sort out what he had gained last night.

The first is the task of "Rescuing Rolf", which gives 3 skill points, activates Rolf's bond, and obtains the magical animal tracking technique. Dean plans to try this skill as soon as he returns to Hogwarts. , the stealing Niffler is the best test subject.

Dean can't wait. As long as he can catch the Niffler, the mission "Ron's Injustice" can be successfully completed. After receiving the reward, "Ron's Bond" will be upgraded to level 2 if nothing unexpected happens. Will the luck value brought by it be higher?

As for the skills that need to be drawn in front of Rolf, Dean plans to bring Ron, his lucky star, to draw them after the "Ron's Bond" is upgraded. With double luck, he doesn't believe that he can draw them. Good skills - now Dean is very superstitious that Ron is a European emperor.

In addition, there was a battle with Voldemort. In fact, the system also released related tasks, but the situation was too urgent at the time and Dean had no time to look at it. Now he saw the task that showed that it had been completed.

"Mission: Defeat Voldemort for the first time

In the process of protecting the unicorn, you meet Voldemort on a narrow road and defeat Voldemort, showing the power of the Mysterious Walker.

Reward: 5 skill points.Passive skill: Wandless spellcasting.

completed. "

What an unexpected surprise!Dean silently waved his fist, now he didn't have to worry about switching wands.

Dean glanced at the time when this task was completed - roughly the time when he restrained Quirrell controlled by Voldemort and grabbed the wand.

Of course, that was not the only surprise last night.

Since he was hit by Voldemort's Imperius Curse last night and successfully escaped, Dean also saw that the Imperius Curse in the magic talent system was also activated, and it was also noted that he would no longer be controlled by the Imperius Curse from now on.

In other words, Dean is already immune to the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.

The biggest surprise last night came from a task that was almost forgotten by Dean: "organizing chaotic memories."

After reading the mission description, Dean realized that after he was controlled by Voldemort's Imperius Curse last night, he had accidentally absorbed the memories that did not belong to him from the dementors and endured the Imperius Curse on his behalf. Not only Let him take the opportunity to break free from the control of the Imperius Curse, and partially resolve those memories, advancing the progress of the mission a big step forward.

The task prompt completion level has reached 30%, thus activating a unique skill: mind reading.

Mind reading, a passive skill, has a certain chance of reading the other person's thoughts.

(Note: This skill is not a magic spell, will not be detected in any way, and cannot be defended by Occlumency.)

Dean finally understood why there was such a mysterious feeling in the confrontation with Voldemort last night. It seemed that he saw Voldemort's next plan: Voldemort wanted to partner with him and was preparing to sneak attack him with Avada Kedavra. .

It turns out that this is all due to mind reading!
