Chapter 32 The second contact with Lao Deng

Hagrid's head couldn't turn. One second he was thinking, "Tangning is right, I have to tell Dumbledore as soon as possible!" The next second, he was thinking, "How do you know about the Philosopher's Stone?"

"But this way, Dumbledore will know about the dragon eggs..." Harry said hesitantly.

"This is just a dragon egg, not an adult fire dragon. Harry, can you clearly prioritize things?" Tangning was a little dissatisfied. Is now the time to consider such a thing?

Hagrid stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to find Dumbledore. You guys wait here for my return."

The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.Somehow, as she watched Hagrid leave, this sentence suddenly popped into Tangning's mind.

About half an hour later, Hagrid finally came back. During this period, while discussing the Philosopher's Stone and the dragon egg, Hermione asked more than once to go back to the library first, while Ron was observing the patterns on the dragon egg—— I really didn't know what to see, but Harry was staring at the fireplace in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.As for Tangning, he was observing three other people!

"How is it? Hagrid, what did Dumbledore say?"

"I don't know, Dumbledore didn't tell me anything." Hagrid's voice was a little muffled. He probably realized the mistake he had made and felt a little guilty.

"Oh, by the way, Dumbledore wants to see Tangning. I have to take Tangning to the principal's office," he continued.

"Meet me?" Tangning was a little surprised. It couldn't be that Dumbledore wanted to reward him for reminding Hagrid to admit his mistakes!

Tang Ning had no reason to refuse, but based on the experience last time, Tang Ning decided to activate the brain defense technique in advance. As long as Old Deng didn't use force, there should be no problem.

……

In the principal's office, Dumbledore watched Hagrid leave, everything was under control!He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. One disadvantage of being too old is that there are too many thoughts and memories in your mind, which often requires him to use a pensieve.

Hermione Granger, a clever little witch.Excellent but not rare, Dumbledore has seen many such little wizards over the years.But Downing Lestrange, as Dumbledore kept mumbling this name, his memory from 11 years ago was already blurry.

He walked to a shallow stone basin. The special energy between liquid and gas flowing in the basin emitted a silver light, "Old man, I need to use you again."

……

Tangning followed Hagrid through a spiral staircase. This was the second time he came to the principal's office.

"Hagrid, you can go back first," Dumbledore said, then looked at Tangning with a gentle look, "Mr. Leicester, we meet here again."

After Hagrid left, Dumbledore pointed to a chair in front of the desk and whispered: "Sit down, Mr. Leicester."

This time, Tangning's brain defense technique didn't react at all.

"I still remember the first time I met you 11 years ago, when you were so big!" Dumbledore said and stretched out his hand to indicate the size of a half-year-old baby.

Tangning didn't know why Dumbledore mentioned this, so he could only respond politely: "Thank you for saving me, sir. I never had the chance to express my gratitude..."

"There is no need to use brain defense, Tangning? I can call you that. You are more mature than I thought. No wonder Mrs. Tonks insists that you can learn Occlumency..." After a pause, she ignored Tangning's surprise. Expression, he continued, "We need to talk openly and honestly. How are you doing after learning Occlumency? Is it effective?"

Lao Deng could easily see through Tang Ning's brain defense skills, which was directly related to Tang Ning's short practice time and lack of mastery.Theoretically, the more rational a person is, the better suited he is to practice, but Tangning is not an absolutely rational person. He can also be impulsive and irritated.Of course, Tangning was rarely swayed by these emotions. At least, he knew how to think before doing things.

Once again lamenting that being too old to die is a thief, Tangning answered honestly: "It actually has some effects, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem of nightmares... However, now I can vaguely remember what the faceless man unleashed on me. It’s a spell, I believe as long as I continue, I’ll be able to figure out what he wants to do to me soon!”

"Faceless Man?" Dumbledore was so interested in this title that he even ignored the key point of Tangning's words. He smiled and asked, "How did you come up with this title?"

Shouldn't I be encouraged to try to figure out the spell?Facing Lao Deng who didn't follow the routine, Tangning could only continue to answer honestly: "Aunt Anduo said that the faceless man cast a spell on his name. The book also said that people only dared to call him the mysterious man, but I Don’t want to do that…and besides, I see that face every month, why don’t I give him a suitable nickname?”

"A very good idea!" Dumbledore praised, "At least it's not as scary as 'You-Know-Who' sounds." Then, Dumbledore remembered the memory he had just seen in the Pensieve - saving him from Voldemort. After that child, in order to find out what Voldemort had done to the dying child, he tried Legilimency but all he saw was a green skull.And that almost made the kid stop breathing.You can't rely too much on the memory of a half-year-old, but now...

Dumbledore has been looking for a way to kill Voldemort, but throughout the history of magic, there are countless dark magics that can make people immortal.Perhaps, the spell the boy said might allow him to learn the truth - even Voldemort would not harm a pure-blood baby for no reason, let alone the baby's parents who were his loyal subordinates.

"Don't force yourself to recall such painful memories, let it take its course." Dumbledore warned, he had enough patience to wait for the results, "But I'm looking for you today for another thing."

"Thank you for the reminder, sir."

Tangning immediately showed interest. In front of Dumbledore, he always had the illusion that all his secrets were revealed. Even though his brain defense skills were still working, Dumbledore didn't care about him. What means to use.

"Do you still remember the problem you discovered about Professor Quirrell last time? After verification again, you are right, Tangning." Dumbledore's voice was still so gentle.

Tangning expressed her surprise: "Oh, really?"

"It seems you are not very surprised." Dumbledore sighed.

Tangning: I'm so sorry that you saw it so easily!

"After discovering Professor Quirrell's problem, I have been trying to find out his purpose. Are you willing to help me?"

"Isn't his goal the Sorcerer's Stone?" Tangning blurted out with an expression of 'You're kidding me'.

Dumbledore didn't take it seriously. He continued to smile and said: "It seems that you know a lot, but Quirrell can't use the Sorcerer's Stone. What I want to know is for whom Quirrell did this..."
