NOVEL WEB Chapter 16: Taking in the Mind
"Great, great, he fainted again two days after waking up from a serious injury. This is the first time I've seen this."
After Glenn woke up, he saw Snape holding an empty potion bottle and looking at him with a sneer, while Dumbledore stood beside him.
Hermione stood at the head of Glenn's bed, puffing her cheeks and"glaring" at Snape, but she didn't look intimidating at all, but rather cute.
"As soon as you fainted, Hermione came and grabbed me, asking me to call Professor Snape to rescue you.
Dumbledore was a little helpless. He had just finished dealing with a lot of things and was about to walk out of the office when he was caught by Hermione.
""So what happened?" Dumbledore asked curiously. When he sent Glenn and the others out of the school infirmary, he confirmed that Glenn's condition had stabilized. How come something went wrong again?
Hermione glanced at Glenn nervously. She knew that what they were studying was quite important, and that creating their own magic didn't sound real.
Glenn was of course aware of the importance of it, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided to tell it. He nodded to Hermione, indicating that he could tell the professors.
He didn't want to reveal that he could feel the magic circuits and split and construct magic according to their characteristics, but the power of him and Hermione was too small to cause any trouble, not to mention that they were still under the protection of others and would have to return to Hogwarts to go to school in the future.
It would be better to reveal it, show their talents, and increase In order to increase his own bargaining chips, he could obtain Dumbledore's protection before he was fully grown.
Glenn, who was called a killer but was actually a tool in his previous life, knew this clearly even though he had not received any education.
Without strength and influence, he was nothing. Even he, the top killer, was just a tool that he cherished a little bit. He would still regard you as cannon fodder when he didn't need you. It is important to be low-key and hide your shortcomings, but it is also necessary to show your talents and abilities in certain occasions.
Who knows if there are anything more dangerous besides Voldemort in this broken wizarding world. To tell the truth now is to surrender to Dumbledore's team. At the very least, he should give himself and Hermione the title of malleable talents, and give him a reason to protect himself and Hermione before Glenn grows up.
Glenn has a sense of crisis. In his eyes, the world of magic is... It has existed since it unfolded.
The strength that he had secretly accumulated in the past 10 years relying on the memories of his previous life was like a clown in front of this idealistic magic.
The meaning of the dagger in his hand had long changed. It was no longer a weapon for killing, but a shield to protect the people around him.
If you have someone you care about, you will inevitably have concerns and weaknesses.
As long as you can protect the people around you, then these costs are insignificant.
Thinking silently, Hermione also narrated her and Glenn's conjecture about magic and Glenn's successful creation of a magic and verification that the conjecture might be correct.
Even an old wizard like Dumbledore, who had a lot of experience, was surprised at this moment, because he did know that magic was an idealistic thing, and it was indeed possible to release the corresponding magic with just a firm will.
But that is difficult, except Except for the miracles created by some wizards who were in life-and-death crisis because of their desire to survive, or the unconscious actions of young wizards when their magic power was rioting, almost no one could control their will to release the magic of imagination.
As long as they were human, it was impossible for them to be completely free from external interference and fully concentrate their mental will.
What surprised Dumbledore even more was that Glenn could actually feel the existence of magic and its manifestation in his body, and even remember the specific shape of magic when the spell was produced.
Even he couldn't do this.
And Hermione also surprised him very much.
At a young age, she had already shown extremely rigorous logical thinking.
Under Glenn's initial hypothesis, she further improved the content of the hypothesis by analogy, and also keenly discovered the importance of emotions and feelings in the release of magic, which was a very rare talent in the wizarding world.
It was really rare that such a pair of little dragons and phoenixes could appear in the two houses on Lily Street in the Stone District of Manchester.
Dumbledore silently raised the importance of Glenn and Hermione by several levels.
If his previous attitude towards them was due to his guilt for negligence, now Dumbledore is really serious about these two little guys who just celebrated their 10th birthday.
Oh, they haven't even been exposed to magic for two days!
Is it me, Dumbledore, who is too old or is this magic world broken? ?
Hermione became more and more excited as she spoke, and even began to make new conjectures based on this concept. Snape, who was standing by, went from disdain at the beginning, to hesitation, and then to seeing Dumbledore's surprise, and now he was listening carefully to what Hermione described.
"Is this really just a 10-year-old kid?"Snape looked at Glenn suspiciously. The blood vessels in his head had been throbbing recently, and he felt that something bad was going to happen recently.
There was evil magic in the magic world that could take over other people's bodies.
Snape, who always treated others with the worst assumptions, fixed his eyes on Glenn lying on the bed, and the next moment, Legilimency was activated!
There was no gain, and only darkness appeared in his mind.
Glenn seemed to have noticed something, and withdrew from thinking about the balance of interests in his mind. His scattered and blind eyes focused, and he nodded to Snape in a friendly manner.
The latter came to Dumbledore's ear with a dark face and whispered something to him. After listening, Dumbledore looked at Glenn in surprise again.
Why do I say again?
Dumbledore felt that he was surprised a little too many times today. He had a complicated expression, and he counted silently in his heart:"An overly tough soul, an Obscurus survivor, the ability to observe the flow of magic, and even a natural brain occlusion... Glenn, what else do you have that I don't know?"
Can you surprise me all at once?"
Glenn felt a sharp pain in his brain, and felt the prying eyes. He gathered his scattered thoughts and met Snape's eyes.
"Is there such magic that can target the soul?." He became alert and slipped out of his sleeve the dinner knife he had hidden yesterday.
He nodded slightly to Snape and asked what kind of magic this was.
Snape was a little embarrassed to be discovered casting a spell. It was difficult to refuse, so he had to reply briefly and coldly:"Legitimate Thoughts."
Dumbledore added:"It is a spell that can read the thoughts and memories of others."
Glenn was a little surprised that there was such a convenient spell, but thinking about how he had blocked it just now, there must be a corresponding spell to counter it.
He thought:"Is there a way to resist Legilimency?"
This time it was Snape's turn to answer:"Yes, as long as you keep practicing Occlumency, you can prevent others from entering your mind."
"It seems that you are very"special", born with the ability to resist Legilimency, but it is very difficult to learn and master the art of occlumency."Snape sneered disdainfully.
He emphasized the word"special", trying to see something from Glenn's face.
But except for smiling at Hermione once, Glenn basically kept a poker face at other times, and did not respond to Snape's deliberate provocation.
Dumbledore came out to smooth things over:"Professor Snape, as compensation for your use of Legilimency on Glenn just now, you will be responsible for teaching them some knowledge in the days to come."
Glenn's heart moved. Snape was a master of potions, and his personality was very strange. It was very rare to have the opportunity to learn from him in advance.
Patting Hermione, Glenn bowed slightly to Snape on the bed:"Okay, then on behalf of Hermione and me, I would like to thank Professor Snape in advance."
Agree quickly to prevent Snape from refusing.
Hermione understood and bowed like Glenn. Seeing that Snape looked unhappy, she lowered her head slightly, pouted her lips, and stared at Snape pitifully with her bright big eyes, almost crying.
Glenn once taught her to learn to play to her strengths. Hermione found that this trick worked for Glenn and those adults.
No one can refuse little Hermione who looks at you pitifully, no! No! People!
Snape's mouth twitched. The damn Dumbledore wants me to be a nanny again.
He turned and left, as if he had made up some kind of decision.
Dumbledore looked at him with a smile and didn't say much.
But he stopped when he was about to leave the Room of Requirement.
"Come to my office at 7:30 every night.
