My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 61. 061. Disguised as Magus (Seeking Recommendations)

Professor Dumbledore crouched down to examine Professor Fawkes' injuries.

Lynn looked at him nervously, afraid that he would suddenly say: "It's over, there's no hope."

"Fox, tears."

Professor Dumbledore frowned and spoke to the phoenix on his shoulder, which was also named Fawkes.

The fiery red phoenix flapped its wings, and a tear squeezed from the corner of its eye, landing on Professor Dumbledore's hand.

The tear seemed to solidify from a liquid state, and Professor Dumbledore held it in his hand before gently placing it on Professor Fawkes's horrific wound.

Phoenix tears are an excellent healing potion. After that tear was dripped down, the penetrating wound on Professor Fox's abdomen healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually there wasn't even a scar left.

Lynn stared wide-eyed at this unscientific yet magical scene.

"Professor, is Professor Fox alright?"

Professor Dumbledore's brow remained furrowed, and he shook his head.

"The surface wounds have healed, but Adrian is in very bad shape. His soul has suffered a severe blow, and he now needs a lot of blood-replenishing potions."

He looked at Lynn, who was covered in dirt and looked like a mud monkey, and solemnly gave him some instructions.

"You stay here and don't go anywhere. I need to get Adrian to St. Mungo's Hospital first, where he can receive the best treatment. I'll be back in five minutes."

Lynn nodded like a chick pecking at rice, indicating that he was an honest child.

Phoenix Fox left with Professor Dumbledore and Professor Fox.

Lynn's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he plopped down on the blood-stained wooden board.

Just as he was about to catch his breath, the system suddenly popped up.

[Mission accomplished!]

Adrian Fox is out of danger.

[Talent extraction in progress...]

[Gained Talent: Disguise Magus!]

Lynn stared in disbelief at the series of system notifications.

When the system first issued the task, Lynn never thought about getting any reward.

A person's talents are varied, especially for someone as learned and talented as Professor Fox. It wouldn't be surprising if he ended up with some random talent, like a talent for food, wine, or cooking.

As for disguising Magus, Lynn had never thought of it that way; he didn't even know that Professor Fox had such a talent.

Only then did he recall what the Weasley brothers had told him: when they secretly followed Professor Fox in the middle of the night, they always ran into Filch.

It now appears that the so-called "Filch" was actually the professor himself in disguise, used specifically to scare the twin brothers.

The ability to disguise as Magus is a top-tier talent in terms of practicality from every perspective.

It is absolutely the best choice for robbery, murder, and arson.

The most crucial point is that it cannot be acquired through training; it is an innate ability. You either have it or you don't.

Like a fat kid who just got his hands on a Switch, Lynn couldn't wait to experiment with his new talent.

But he ultimately held back.

The ability to disguise Magus is most effective when no one knows he possesses it.

If he were discovered, especially by Dumbledore, then no matter what bad things happened afterward, as long as the culprit wasn't caught, that old bee would probably suspect him first.

Professor Dumbledore could return at any time, and he still has a lot of problems that haven't been exposed yet, so he wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble.

So Lynn obediently suppressed his urge to transform into a magical girl and buried himself in thinking about what excuse he should use to deal with Professor Dumbledore.

Yes, deal with Professor Dumbledore.

First and foremost, the most important question is, how did he know that Professor Fox was in danger?

Lynn couldn't explain this, and didn't know how to explain it.

Dumbledore wasn't so easily fooled. Even though Lynn had the brain-closing technique as a system reward, so he didn't have to worry about Dumbledore spying on his thoughts, a lie was still a lie.

Don't be fooled by how easily he can fool centaurs; it's because they're not exactly smart!

Now that it's Professor Dumbledore's turn, he has absolutely no confidence.

To be honest, that's definitely impossible. The fact that he is a transmigrator and the system is a secret he wants to keep hidden for the rest of his life, a secret he'll take with him to his grave.

Lynn racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with any ideas.

He felt that in the end he could only keep quiet and not say anything. Surely Dumbledore wouldn't force him to say anything?

Just as he was agonizing over this, Dumbledore returned with his phoenix.

Lynn quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"How is Professor Fox doing, Professor?"

Dumbledore's face relaxed considerably, and he looked at Lynn with a smile and nodded.

"The therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital said he could be saved, but he would need a long period of recovery; at least he would survive."

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, but then he immediately became alert again, because Dumbledore was likely to start questioning him.

However, to his surprise, Dumbledore seemed completely unaware of why he was in the Forbidden Forest, and instead gave him a friendly wink.

"Hogwarts is still under alert, and all students must spend the night in the Great Hall. So let me help you clean up. If you want to take a shower, you'll have to wait until the alert is lifted."

As he spoke, he cast a cleansing spell on Lynn.

Professor Dumbledore's Cleansing Charm was incredibly powerful; Lynn's muddy body was instantly cleaned up, leaving him not only clean and white again but also with a pleasant fragrance.

He grabbed Lynn's arm again.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the castle now."

Lynn said hurriedly.

"Professor, Hagrid is still unconscious in the Forbidden Forest, and there's another Death Eater who was killed by Professor Fawkes. The centaurs in the Forbidden Forest are also there. They refused to help Professor Fawkes, who saved their people, simply because Professor Fawkes used a spell to cut off their comrades' arms."

Professor Dumbledore listened attentively to Lynn's words and nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll handle these things. You should think about how to explain this to Minerva first. She's furious that you ran away."

After Dumbledore said that, Lynn also became uneasy.

In some cases, the consequences of Professor McGonagall's anger can be even more terrifying than those of Dumbledore's anger.
