Reborn at Hogwarts

Chapter 43 Zoe's Past

Soon, Zooey realized that she had been fooled by Ivan.

And again.

After learning how to block the voices that flock to her all the time, Dumbledore has promised her that she will not tell anyone her identity as a Legilimency.

Looking at the kid sitting on the opposite bed, Zooey suddenly wanted to jump over and beat him up.

"Such a young Legilimency? Are you born?"

Although he guessed Zoe's special ability, Ivan was still taken aback and couldn't help asking.

Wizards who are born with the ability to legilimency are rare, and Ivan himself only knows one person who has such a peculiarity, and that is Newt Scamander (in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"). author)'s sister-in-law and former follower of Grindelwald: Queenie Goldstein.

"Yes, I was...born." Zooey hesitated for a moment, but answered Ivan's question truthfully.

Yes, as Ivan guessed, Zoe Benson is a natural "legendist" with the innate ability to "read minds".

Accompanied by this ability is not "convenience", but "pain".

Zoe's parents are a very ordinary couple. Both of them are Muggles and know nothing about the world of magic.

It is conceivable that when Zoe was young, when her ability to "read other people's minds" was first displayed, it brought great panic to this honest and honest couple.

Fortunately, they still had a sliver of reason, and they were not so stupid as to leak this matter to the point where everyone knew about it.

But in the hearts of the couple, this is obviously an ulterior "scandalous matter", so they asked Zoe to promise to bury this "devil-given ability" in their hearts completely and never use it on anyone.

Because of her parents' resistance, little Zoe couldn't help thinking that this ability was really brought to her by the devil. So, she also began to suppress herself hard, and stopped listening to the voices of others.

For a wizard, such excessive repression does not do any good. On the contrary, it may lead to "silence", which may lead to a terrible disaster.

Although she forcibly controls herself according to her parents' orders, this innate supernatural ability cannot be suppressed by a little girl who knows nothing about magic. On the contrary, due to long-term repression, her abilities gradually changed.

"What kind of mutation?" Ivan interrupted Zoe's narration with great interest.

Hearing this, Zooey suddenly woke up from the sad memories, and this weird feeling made her feel unspeakably awkward.

But she was really not in the mood to accuse Ivan of his irresponsible behavior, so she just rolled her eyes helplessly and explained in a low voice: "I have become able to hear other people's voices without eye contact. .”

This is an extremely rare mutation, or enhancement.

Zoe has changed from having to look directly into the eyes of others to steal the other person's thoughts, and has become able to "hear" the voices of others directly while concentrating.

"Wait, aren't you going to be bored to death?" When Zooey fell into memories again, Ivan interrupted her train of thought just right.

Zooey glanced at this guy. The little boy had already got up from the bed, moved a stool and sat in front of his bed, resting his chin on his hands, staring at himself seriously.

This scene made Zooey have the illusion that she was teaching him a lesson.

"Well... don't interrupt me." Zoe whispered, "It was really difficult at the beginning, can you imagine it? As long as there are people nearby, you can hear what he is thinking... It's very vague, but there are so many of these voices coming together, it's a disaster."

"Then how did you overcome it?" Ivan asked, resting his chin.

"It's Dumbledore... When I was about to collapse, Dumbledore came to visit my house once. He said that he felt someone probing his brain when he was passing by, so he came to have a look, but he didn't expect to find it my existence."

Having said that, Zoe paused, "Then, he told us about the existence of wizards and magic, and taught me how to control myself. This is a very difficult and long process, and I still need it from the beginning to the present." Go to Dumbledore's every week for a mental examination to make sure there is no abnormality."

"It won't go on like this forever, will it?"

"When I can control myself, I don't have to go anymore." Zooey replied.

After saying this, she suddenly felt relieved.

The long-term depression, coupled with the special nature of the ability, made her afraid to tell her friends about this matter after she came to Hogwarts to study, fearing that they would rush to read her mind after knowing that she could "read minds". away from yourself.

After her ability was "guessed", she was finally able to say what she had been keeping in her heart.

"Does it feel good?" Ivan asked.

"It's very good...you!" Zooey replied subconsciously, then she reacted, stopped talking immediately, and looked at Ivan with a slightly annoyed expression.

The way this guy behaves makes it hard to tell who is the real Legilimency.

Ivan got the answer he wanted, put away the bench with a smile, went back to the bed and lay down again, turned around and turned his back to Zooey.

Zooey really wanted to see what was going on in Ivan's mind, but the periphery of Ivan's mind seemed to be cast into a wall, and she couldn't penetrate it no matter what.

Is this Occlumency... Zoe was thoughtful.

Where she couldn't see... Ivan's expression became extremely calm.

The guess is not wrong, this little girl in the same grade as me is a natural Legilimency, which can be regarded as having some peculiarities... But I still don't understand why Dumbledore arranged for the two to know each other secret?

Is it possible that the old bee really wants to form a new generation team in advance to fight against Voldemort?

Ivan was a little puzzled.

As for the fact that Zoe was staring at him from behind, Ivan had already noticed it, but he didn't bother to react.

Just now, he deliberately chose to interrupt him at the critical moment of Zoe's story, but he was out of good intentions to help the little girl get rid of her past mood.

People who are immersed in the past will not have a future. Ivan knew this when he first came to this world.

"That..." At this moment, Zooey's slightly hesitant voice came from behind.

"What..." Just as Ivan opened his mouth, there was a sudden rush of footsteps and a woman's voice in the corridor.

It was Madam Pomfrey who had returned.

Zooey shrank her neck and said nothing more. She followed Ivan's example and lay down on the bed with her back facing him, covering her head with the quilt.

Forget it, let's not ask.

Thank you Ye Yiyi for the reward, thank you boss - the pace of the plot has been a bit slow for the past two days, and I will speed up next
