Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

Draco Malfoy's expression became incomparably gloomy. As the only son of the Malfoy family, he had never lost face like this under the eyes of the public.

And on the other side, seeing Draco's expression, Link silently blocked in front of Emily, and at the same time, a wand suddenly appeared in his hand and directly pointed at Draco's chest.

"Step back." Link spoke indifferently, but on his wand, a faint glimmer of light flashed.

This made Draco's face become even uglier. However, he still very sensibly retreated a few steps, because he knew clearly, Link wasn't trying to scare him, but would really take action.

Seeing this, the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students who were just rubbing their fists and eager to fight all let out a burst of disdainful sneers.

This also made the surrounding atmosphere become somewhat awkward.

Draco at this moment urgently needed a way to back down. And this step down was soon delivered to him.

Link only saw a figure quickly rush to the front of the crowd, and then Filch's familiar voice was heard.

"My cat! My cat! Mrs. Norris, what's wrong with you!?"

Filch clutched his head and shouted hysterically, and at the same time, his gaze glanced into the crowd and saw Harry.

"It's you! You killed my cat! How could you do this! Damn you!"

Filch roared and pounced toward Harry, and from his fierce appearance, it seemed like he was going to bite Harry to death.

This gave Harry a fright. Fortunately, Link's wand was already in a ready-to-fire state.

With Link's spell, a mass of gray light shot out accurately and hit Filch, making his whole body go limp and collapse to the ground. The fierce expression on his face instantly collapsed.

Filch weakly flailed on the ground. Seeing that he couldn't move at all, he turned his eyes toward Link and cried out, "You're all in it together! Link Flamel! You're all in this together! Ah!"

"What's going on here?"

Dumbledore's serious voice rang out from behind the crowd. He brought a group of professors quickly walking over. Seeing this, the surrounding students all made way.

Filch, on the other hand, cried even harder. Unfortunately, under the effect of Link's spell, his voice was so weak that it sounded more like a cat's meow.

This made Dumbledore frown. His gaze swept past Link and Harry and finally stopped on a nearby wall.

"Everyone... disperse." Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "Harry, Link, and Filch, come with me. Also, bring Mrs. Norris."

After speaking, Dumbledore's fingers moved slightly, and the spell on Filch immediately lost effect.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick and the other heads of house began driving the students toward the common rooms.

This naturally caused many students to be dissatisfied, they still wanted to watch the fun. Unfortunately, faced with Dumbledore's serious expression, they really couldn't say they wanted to stay.

"Link…" Emily worriedly grabbed Link's hand.

And Link gave a comforting smile, then took Harry and Filch and followed behind Dumbledore. Of course, along with the poor Mrs. Norris.

"This way, to my office."

Lockhart suddenly popped out from who knows where, speaking with a face full of flattery.

And upon hearing this, Dumbledore also expressionlessly nodded and led everyone to turn in the direction of Lockhart's office.

This was Link's first time entering the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

It had to be said, the décor of this office truly fit Lockhart's personality very well.

All of it was flashy and showy. Link even smelled a perfume scent in the air so strong it could almost make someone sneeze.

Of course, Lockhart's magical portraits also covered the entire wall. But at this moment, they did not show their usual signature toothy grins, but instead looked at everyone with curious expressions.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, they killed my cat!" Just after entering the office, Filch once again wailed.

He held Mrs. Norris in his arms. This poor cat was still in the same posture as before, her body stiff like a stone.

Dumbledore didn't speak. He adjusted his glasses, leaned over, and poked Mrs. Norris.

"Don't worry, she's only been hit with a very advanced Petrification Curse. She's not dead." After a moment, Dumbledore slowly said.

As he spoke, he gave Link a complicated look. "We can cure her. Recently, a professor brought in some Mandrakes. As long as we wait for them to mature, we can make the antidote."

"But… my cat is petrified! Someone must be punished!" Filch said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean…"

"Harry Potter and his accomplices!" Filch gritted his teeth and said, "Of course also Link Flamel!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because… because they know I'm a Squib!" Filch's tears came down again. "They must have done it on purpose to humiliate me!"

"I don't think Link would do such a thing. From what I know, Link Flamel has always held deep sympathy for Squibs. Just this past summer, he even represented the Flamel family in donating a large sum to the Victoria Area Squib Relief Center." Snape suddenly pushed the door open and slowly said.

These words stunned everyone present. Especially Filch. He stared wide-eyed at Link, who had been silent in the corner the whole time.

His mouth moved a few times before he finally said, "Is that true?"

"Mm, it is true." Link said expressionlessly.

To guard against Dumbledore invading his mind, he had already activated Occlumency as soon as he entered the office.

Because he knew very well that once Dumbledore found out the incident was caused by the Basilisk, he would definitely suspect him.

And that meaningful glance Dumbledore gave him earlier exactly proved his guess.

As for the donation, that was also true. It's just that hearing it brought up by Snape at this moment did surprise him a bit. After all, Snape didn't seem like the kind of guy who would speak up for someone else.

Link's words made Filch's face instantly turn red, and he stood there speechless.

Snape gave a cold snort, then turned his head to Harry and said, "Link indeed has no suspicion, but certain people are different. Mr. Potter, can you explain why you didn't attend the Halloween banquet?"
