Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Snape?Dean looked at Snape in disbelief.

Indeed, apart from using it on Snape once when Dean first mastered Legilimency, he only used it on Quirrell from a distance when he first started school. At that time, Quirrell didn't know it was him, so he was the only one who had The only one who might have known about his Legilimency was Snape.

Dean felt his heart twisting. He didn't expect that it would be Snape who stabbed him in the back.

Snape looked at Dean with a complicated expression. He could completely understand how Dean felt.

He never thought that when he asked Mundungus to take Dean to buy supplies for school, a casual reminder would push Dean into a dangerous situation.

"Snape, do you have anything to say?" Bones looked at Snape.

"I admit that I once told Mundungus that Thomas was a natural-born Soul Master." Snape said through gritted teeth.

"How did you know?" Bones asked.

"When I first met Thomas, he had just received the admission notice to Hogwarts and had not yet been exposed to any magic, but he inadvertently used Legilimency on me." Snape Looking at Dean, he said, "Only a born soul master can do this."

"It seems that the answer is obvious. Dean Thomas did use Legilimency and violated the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act" and should be guilty; while Snape knowingly knew that Thomas was breaking the law, he also violated the law. Protecting him is even more deserving of punishment! He should be thrown into Azkaban along with his most beloved disciple!" Umbridge said viciously.

"Umbridge, I have never denied that Dean is a born Soul Master." Snape said calmly, "I just want to remind you that an 11-year-old wizard, even if he is a natural Soul Master, It’s impossible for a soul master to have the ability to control himself!”

"Snape, what do you mean..." Bones asked thoughtfully.

"Even if Thomas did use Legilimency at that time, it was definitely done unintentionally. Article 40 of the Law on the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards stipulates that when a minor wizard unconsciously casts a spell that he cannot control, , if there are no serious consequences, you can have immunity!" Snape said confidently.

"Shackle, after you rushed to the scene, did you find any adverse consequences of Mr. Thomas' Legilimency?" Bones asked.

"No," Kingsley replied matter-of-factly, "Her mother seemed normal and didn't realize she had been under a curse."

"So Thomas fully qualifies for immunity under Article 40 of No. [-]?" Bones pondered.

"Amelia, I think you must be mistaken." Umbridge said with a fake smile, "How did we find out that Thomas broke the law? It was because of Zongsi! I think Zongsi can completely tell who Thomas is. It was not an active spell. If, as Snape said, Thomas cast the spell unintentionally, Trace would not have called the police at all."

"Umbridge, you make sense. Not long ago, the Department for the Abuse of Magic just upgraded the tracing system. Any spells cast accidentally on underage wizards with outstanding talents will be automatically filtered out." Bones turned the page. He said while flipping through a document.

"That upgrade was completed under my impetus." Umbridge smiled proudly, "Now the facts are very clear. Dean Thomas took the initiative to use Legilimency on his mother. As a A natural mastermind, he can do this without a wand."

After Umbridge finished speaking, she showed a confident smile.

"Mr. Thomas, if you can't produce other strong evidence, I'm afraid..." Bones looked at Dean with a slight regret and said.In terms of being a born soul master, Dean was a rare talent in her eyes.

"Of course we still have evidence." Snape stood up and said forcefully.

Bones shrugged and made a gesture of invitation.

Snape first said to Umbridge: "Abuse is prohibited. After the Department of Magic upgrades the tracking system, it will automatically filter out unintentional spells cast by young wizards, right?"

"What I just said was very clear."

"That's an innocent situation, right?" Snape asked.

"That kind of situation will not be reported at all, how can he be guilty?" Umbridge felt that Snape was confused.

"So after the upgrade of the tracking system, it is still unable to tell which wizard cast the spell when two or more wizards are together, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Umbridge's expression changed a little.

"Suppose a situation arises: when an adult wizard is casting a spell, an underage wizard next to him happens to cast a spell that he cannot control. Will Tracey think that the underage wizard is illegally casting a spell?" Snape asked road.

"It's theoretically possible." Bones replied for the hesitant Umbridge.

"I would like to draw everyone's attention -" Umbridge piped up, "we have investigated that when Thomas used Legilimency on his mother, there were no other wizards nearby..."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Your investigation is not comprehensive. I just happened to find a witness who can confirm that he did appear near 58 Gibbins Road, Newham District." After Snape finished speaking, he looked towards Bones.

After Bones nodded, Snape said to Kingsley: "Mr. Shacklebolt, please go to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and ask Amos Diggory to come."

Soon Kingsley came back with a red-faced wizard with a short brown beard.

"Digory." Bones nodded towards the person.

"Director Bones, Deputy Secretary Umbridge." Mr. Diggory was obviously a little cautious.

"Digory, Snape seemed to have said that you had been near 43 Gibbins Road, Newham, around 58:[-] last night?" Umbridge asked impatiently.

"Yes." Mr. Digory said with some shame, "I was chasing an escaped ball evader at that time - you know that the ball evader can teleport. When I was chasing it, I accidentally flashed past it. .”

"Digory, did you cast any spells at that time? - Please answer carefully, this is very important." Bones reminded with emphasis.

"Of course, I focused it with a petrifying spell to catch it. When I caught the Ball Escape Bird and returned the same way, I happened to run into Kingsley, so I told Deputy Minister Umbridge that The location is impressive." Mr. Diggory replied quickly, obviously having practiced it countless times.

Dean immediately understood what the strange conversation between Mr. Weasley and Snape in the elevator meant - it was obvious that Snape had anticipated the situation before him, so he asked Mr. Weasley to Mr. Diggory was persuaded to testify.

Dean breathed a sigh of relief. Since Snape arranged it this way, he must have made careful preparations and would never let Bones find fault.

"Shacklebolt, please check Diggory's wand," Bones said immediately.

Kingsley took the wand handed over by Mr. Diggory, shook it slightly, and suddenly a flash of light emerged from the tip of the wand.

Kingsley nodded to Bones: "The last thing Digory cast was indeed the Petrification Spell, and the time was at that point."
