Reborn at Hogwarts

Chapter 42 Mind Reader?

Dumbledore is gone.

After getting Iwan's promise, he said that he was going to deal with the Horcrux issue, and then hurriedly got up and left.

Before leaving, he took a meaningful look at Zoe Benson lying on the other bed, and winked at Ivan.

"Snapped!"

After watching Dumbledore leave, Ivan heaved a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and put the water glass heavily on the bedside table.

He saw Zoe's body under the quilt visibly trembling twice.

Sure enough...he was pretending to sleep.

"Stop pretending, I can see you trembling." Ivan said angrily.

He felt very uncomfortable when he thought that this person, who was a complete stranger to him, might overhear his conversation with Dumbledore.

Hearing this, the girl who had turned her back to Ivan froze at some point, and after a brief silence, she suddenly snorted.

It wasn't the cold snort that turned into anger after being exposed, but the kind of snort that just woke up from a big dream and still didn't know the situation in a daze.

Then, under Ivan's gaze, the girl frowned, straightened her body, stretched her waist, and let out a long moan from her nostrils.

After finishing the whole set of procedures before getting up, she rubbed her eyes, opened them sleepily, looked at Ivan with a helpless face in a little confusion, and asked in a sleepy tone: "Ah ……you're awake?"

What woke me up... Can you stop speaking in such an ambiguous tone... And why do you still pretend to be awake after being exposed by me... Is it because you are afraid of being killed by me with black magic? Also, don't stare into other people's eyes, it scared me so much that I activated Occlumency...

For the first time in his life, Ivan felt a strong desire to complain.

In fact, his guess was exactly what Zooey was worried about.

The poor girl woke up after being unconscious for only a short time after being stunned by "Filch" who broke in in the middle of the night.

This is largely due to the fact that "Filch" had just been controlled by someone at that time, and he, who had lived as a squib for a long time, was physically unable to immediately adapt to the feeling of casting spells.

After waking up, Zoe found that her arm was injured when she was knocked out and fell down, which also made her sure of one thing: she was not hallucinating, but someone had indeed invaded Hogwarts. , and broke into the Ravenclaw common room.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Zoe didn't try to find the other party's traces in the lounge or anything like that, but rushed out the door and ran to Dumbledore's office.

In the girl's cognition, Dumbledore, who helped her overcome the "disease" that has plagued her for a long time, is undoubtedly the most powerful wizard in Hogwarts and even the world, and it is only natural to seek his help.

In order to prevent the possibility of "the intruder has not gone far", Zoe deliberately lightened her steps and made herself walk as silently as possible, so that even if the other party was still nearby, she might not be found.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked near the principal's office, she saw a boy confronting the intruder. Before she could react, the boy jumped off the building decisively.

God knows how frightened Zooey was at that time, and she almost tried her best to cover her mouth to keep herself from screaming.

Then, she saw an even weirder scene:

The intruder, who was disguised as the castle administrator Filch, melted into the wall and disappeared!

Zoe was dazed by the scenes that were beyond her ability to bear. She waited five minutes after Filch disappeared before she dared to run out of her hiding place and came to the principal's office to inform Dumbledore of the incident.

——Fortunately, because she needs to check her mental state regularly, Dumbledore told her the password of the principal's office, otherwise she could only stare at the stone beasts blocking the door of the office.

After hearing her story, Dumbledore didn't have any special expression on his face. He just told her to go to the school hospital to find Madam Pomfrey for treatment, and he himself quickly left the office to find the intruder.

Zoe didn't know much about what happened afterwards. She fell asleep under Madam Pomfrey's placement, and when she woke up, she happened to find Dumbledore walking into the room.

She was just about to say hello, but she didn't expect the old guy to make a "shh" gesture to her, signaling her to pretend to be asleep.

And then...Zoe heard the whole process from Ivan.

At this time, she belatedly thought... Why did Dumbledore let her pretend to be asleep? Why should she know such an extremely secret thing? That boy in the same grade lying on the bed next to him actually has a book that records almost all black magic? And he hasn't been fired by Dumbledore after confessing?

Why should I know this?

When Zoe kept regretting...she heard Ivan telling her to "stop pretending". After thinking for a while, she tried her best to pretend that she had just Waking up, he stretched and yawned in a very contrived manner.

But it doesn't seem to have any effect... Zoe thought anxiously.

"Listen, I don't mean any harm to you." Ivan looked at the girl in front of him who was obviously afraid of him, and couldn't help sighing, "Although I don't know why, but you can figure it out if you think about it. Dumbledore did it on purpose. Let you hear my conversation with him."

After hearing these words, Zooey nodded thoughtfully, subconsciously.

Then she discovered... she had unknowingly approved of "hearing his conversation with Dumbledore".

To her surprise, the other party's eyes did not become fierce, nor did he take out a stick from a certain corner and mutter something to her.

The little boy in her grade just sighed again.

"My name is Ivan, Ivan Vesemir. What about you?" the little boy asked.

"Uh... Zoe, Zoe Benson." The little girl hesitated for a moment, but told Ivan her name truthfully.

Even if you don't tell him, he will be able to find out after he is discharged from the hospital... The little girl comforted herself.

Zoe Benson? Ivan thought for a while and confirmed that he had never heard of this name.

Of course, it is also possible to have heard of it, but because she has done nothing notable, she has not left much impression.

But she couldn't be an ordinary person... Dumbledore would not do such meaningless things... Could it be that he wanted to train some people in advance to add some chips to the future battle with Voldemort?

But that doesn't make sense either... Did Dumbledore know Voldemort wasn't dead before the Sorcerer's Stone? I don't remember if it was mentioned in the original book...

At this time, Ivan suddenly remembered something.

From the time when Zooey was exposed for pretending to be sleeping, this little witch in the same grade as her, her eyes chased her own from beginning to end. No matter where her eyes turned, she immediately used the most unobtrusive Adjust the angle in a different way, so that her eyes meet her own.

Looking people in the eye all the time... Either OCD or just a habit... What are the wizards who like to do that...

"Dumbledore said, you are a Legilimency, aren't you?" Ivan asked suddenly.

He saw Zooey's body stiffen suddenly, and there was obvious panic in her eyes.
