Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

He really thought about going to Slytherin!

"You're not serious, are you?"

Harry asked cautiously.

Eric: "I really thought about letting the Sorting Hat sort me into Slytherin later, because I don't think the house can represent me, and besides, I don't hate Slytherin, why not Is that okay?”

Ron finally said angrily: "Why do you want to speak for Slytherin? Eric! I want to vomit just thinking about Malfoy's face, and you actually want to join them?!"

Harry faltered, "Maybe Eric didn't mean that, Ron..."

"Then what does he mean?!"

"What he means is that the college can't represent a person's position. Even if he really goes to Slytherin, he will still be our friend." Hermione said abruptly from the side.

Ron and Harry looked at Hermione, only to see Hermione's face was cold, looking at the two expressionlessly, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing Hermione like this, Ron could only shut his mouth angrily.

He hadn't had the guts to piss off both Eric and Hermione at the same time.

In that case, his homework this semester will be completely over.

Eric chuckled and didn't refute Hermione's words, but went on to say, "Ron, do you know which college Sirius Black came from? He's from Gryffindor, Harry's father, and Lupine." The professor is a classmate."

Now Ron was completely speechless, he could only lean back on the backrest angrily, without saying a word.

"how come……"

Harry was a little dazed when he heard the answer.

Now it was Eric's turn to be speechless: "Don't you read newspapers? The Daily Prophet dug up all of Blake's life."

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment. He subscribed to the Daily Prophet with the crowd, but rarely read it.

Eric said: "Birthplace can determine a person's position, but people change, Harry."

"Of course you can stubbornly think that the academy represents a part of someone's character, but reality will show you that it's not possible."

"When you don't know someone well, it's pretty stupid to put a label on someone you think you think you are, to put it bluntly."

"Anyway, remember, Harry, think a lot, and what you see isn't necessarily what you see, even with people you know well."

Harry and Hermione were thoughtful, when Lupine suddenly sighed and interrupted, "We're here."

As if matching Lupin's words, the carriage stopped leisurely in front of a stone bridge just after turning through a dense forest.

Not only their carriages, but also the surrounding carriages.

Several people looked out through the windows and saw a magnificent castle appearing in front of them together with the surrounding tower buildings.

The castle is brightly lit, and it looks even more dazzling under the light of night.

That was Hogwarts.

Chapter 47 Soul Barrier

Several people got off the car in front of the stone bridge, followed the flow of people across the stone bridge, and entered the gate of Hogwarts.

Behind the gate is the entrance hall of Hogwarts. At this time, the door is open and people are coming and going.

Eric and the others walked forward together with Lupine.

Except for Eric, the rest of the first-year students were still crossing the Black Lake by boat at this time, not even halfway through.

Along the way, many people looked sideways at Eric.

Among the students here, everyone is wearing school gowns, but only Eric's chest is empty, without the emblem of the college he belongs to.

And Eric's age looks very immature.

The first-year students can't take the carriage, they are curious about Eric.

Among them, many people immediately recognized Eric's identity.

They were also there when Eric expelled the dementors from the train today.

Seeing Eric's obvious features, how could they not recognize him?

These people were shocked when they saw their companion's actions, and quickly reminded their companions not to go too far.

It was a monster, not even a dementor was afraid of it.

But this move undoubtedly caused the opposite effect, and for a while, Eric became even more eye-catching.

Everyone wanted to see what it looked like to single-handedly fight off the dementors.

In the crowd, wherever they went, the people around them formed a circle tacitly, enclosing Eric and his party in the middle.

More and more attention is paid.

Ron and Harry had never seen this scene before.

Both of them were paler than when they encountered the dementor.

"What are they looking at?" Ron asked.

Hermione said angrily as she walked, "I'm not looking at you anyway."

Eric didn't care, his face was normal.

As soon as they entered the foyer, there were many professors waiting here in advance to guide the students to disperse and go to the auditorium to sit down.

The prefects of the four colleges also stood up to help the professors maintain order.

A familiar electronic voice sounded in Eric's mind as expected:

[Ding, it is detected that the host has arrived at Hogwarts. Congratulations, you have arrived at the sign-in location. Sign-in will begin immediately. Please do not quit halfway. 】

[Ding, the sign-in is successful. 】

[Reward: Soul Barrier. 】

Eric's spirits immediately brightened.

He quickly opened his personal panel and paid attention to the new ability he had just acquired.

[Soul Barrier: Another special way of using it from the spiritual stance. When you open the spiritual stance, guide and fix the spiritual power on yourself to form a barrier composed of high-strength souls, that is, the soul barrier.When the soul enchantment is turned on, it can be immune to the effects of mind control magic. 】

good stuff!

After reading the introduction of the soul enchantment ability, Eric looked calm on the surface, but he was extremely excited in his heart.

This is exactly what he needs right now.

The reason why he chose to take the carriage and attend the Sorting later was simply because Dumbledore wanted to see him now.

And with Eric's current situation, it was a bit risky to meet Dumbledore.

Because Dumbledore is the most powerful Legilimency master in the world.

Although he never claimed that he would use the magic of Legilimency.

Others may not understand this point, but Eric knows it very well.

In the field of magic called Legilimency, Dumbledore's attainments can be regarded as the strongest at that time.

For Eric, who appeared out of nowhere and claimed to know about the relationship between Black and James, how could Dumbledore have no doubts about Eric's motives and identity?

Dumbledore is not stupid.

Eric is not sure that Dumbledore will use Legilimency on him, but the probability is very high!

The horror of the magic of Legilimency is that it can read other people's memories and emotions through consciousness.

If you have the heart, you only need to look at it, and the other party can read your memory, which is so scary.

Moreover, the activation of this magic is not complicated, and with Dumbledore's strength, it can be completely invisible.

Silently, penetrate all the secrets.

Of course, the success of Legilimency still depends on the willpower of both parties.

Eric's mental strength is very strong, which is also one of his confidence.

It cannot be guaranteed that it will not be affected at all, but Eric can still do it if he wants to resist for a while.

But in any case, if it can be completely defended, Eric absolutely does not want to take risks.

After all, he has too many secrets.

And Soul Barrier happens to be a complete defensive skill.

Being able to resist mind control magic, this description refers not only to Legilimency, but also a series of control spells such as the Imperius Curse...

Then again, since Legilimency is so powerful, why isn't Eric worried that Fudge will show his secrets in front of Dumbledore?

There are many reasons. The first is that although Legilimency has amazing effects, it cannot accurately read the memory of a certain period of time.

It's like checking the monitoring, you can see it, but you can't locate it accurately.

Moreover, the timeline of this monitoring is still random and disorderly.

Unless, you already know the time period you want to check in advance.

Secondly, there is a necessary condition for the release of Legilimency, and that is to look at each other.

And Eric had warned Fudge in advance never to meet Dumbledore's eyes.

On the premise that Fudge is not too outrageous, Dumbledore has no reason to easily suspect that Fudge is doing tricks behind his back.

Even with suspicion, it's impossible to know who Fudge was working with, or when he did what.

In other words, as long as Fudge doesn't die, Eric is safe.

Legilimency is scary, but if you know how this magic works, there are still some ways to resist it if you are not strong enough.

The complicated thoughts were just for a moment. After seeing the skill description clearly, Eric was secretly happy.

He thought a lot, but in the eyes of Hermione and others, Eric just paused when he entered the hall, and it looked like Eric was suddenly shocked by the grand hall of Hogwarts.

No one thought there was anything wrong with this.

Hogwarts itself is a castle complex covering a huge area.

The accumulation of thousands of years of history has made Hogwarts a cultural symbol, not just a geographical one.
