It should be said that it is strange to come to Hogwarts for the first time without being surprised.

Harry smiled proudly at Eric, and said, "Welcome to Hogwarts, Eric."

Eric also naturally responded with a smile.

Afterwards, the three Harrys reluctantly separated from Eric and Lupine and turned to the auditorium.

And Eric followed Lupine closely, walking towards the principal's office at the top of the main tower.

Chapter 48 Dumbledore's Legilimency

The main tower of Hogwarts is a very huge cylinder.

When no one stepped up the stairs of the tower, looking up from below, only a magnificent stone column stood in the center, surrounded by a circular outer wall.

The outer walls and stone pillars are covered with various paintings carrying the thousand-year history of Hogwarts.

And as Eric and Lupine continued to go up, there were stairs constantly changing from the stone pillars.

It's as if these stairs are self-aware, knowing how to pave the way for the wizard in time.

Even Lupine, who had not returned to Hogwarts for a long time, missed everything around him.

Lupine was familiar with the road, and took Eric all the way to the eighth floor where the principal's office was located.

In front of an ugly stone monster, Lupine whispered the command to the stone monster: "Pile of cockroaches."

The originally static stone monster suddenly moved, nodded in satisfaction, then turned around, twirled and rose upwards, clearing the way to the principal's office.

An old man with a white beard in a gorgeous robe was already waiting there with a smile on his face.

No introduction needed, of course Eric knew the identity of the old man with the white beard.

Albus Dumbledore!

The strongest wizard of today.

Even though he is old, no one can shake his prestige.

Fudge couldn't, and neither could Voldemort.

"You must be Eric, right?"

Like Eric, Dumbledore didn't need too much introduction, as soon as he saw Eric, he said his name naturally, and he was obviously prepared.

Seeing Eric nod with a smile, Lupine was speechless for a while.

He was not in the eyes of these two people at all.

If so, why is he still here?

Lupine shrugged his shoulders and asked Dumbledore for instructions. After receiving a response, he turned around and left, returning to the auditorium.

Only Eric and Dumbledore were left.

From the very first moment he met Dumbledore, Eric opened up to a spiritual stance.

In the gray-white world, Eric condensed the white light representing spiritual power on himself, forming a thin film.

The Soul Barrier is open!

There is no complicated feeling, Eric is used to the existence of a spiritual stance, as long as there is a soul enchantment, no spiritual magic can affect him.

After the simple greetings, Dumbledore stretched out his hand to welcome Eric in, looked at Eric and said with a smile: "When I heard Professor Flitwick's message, I thought I was already demented, but I really didn't expect At your age, you are already proficient in using the Patronus Charm."

Eric was not polite and walked into the principal's office. He followed Dumbledore's guidance and sat down in front of the table. He said, "Thank you, Professor. That was actually the first time I successfully used the Patronus Charm."

The headmaster's room is magnificent, in line with the overall decoration style of Hogwarts. The walls are covered with portraits of previous headmasters. When they saw Eric walking in, they all looked at him, and some even whispered.

And beside Dumbledore's table, there was a phoenix standing quietly.

Eric glanced around, and finally met Dumbledore's eyes. He did not avoid it at all, but firmly met Dumbledore's eyes and looked at him.

Dumbledore said in surprise: "I'm so glad that Hogwarts can have such a talented student as you this year. I heard that you are still Muggle-born?"

"Correct."

"That's amazing, Eric, can you tell me where you learned magic?"

coming.

Sure enough, Dumbledore got right to the point from the start.

Eric chuckled: "Of course, actually, I had already been exposed to magic before I entered school."

"When I was at the Leaky Cauldron, I bought a book of spells, which contained detailed spells, including the Patronus Charm."

"I also experienced two magic runaways in Diagon Alley. After that, I found that I seemed to be a bit talented in controlling magic, so after I bought my own wand, I started to practice magic by myself."

"That's why I use the Patronus Charm."

"I consider myself pretty lucky."

After Eric finished speaking, he looked at Dumbledore with a smile.

Dumbledore sat across from him, smiling even brighter than he did.

Regardless of the truth of the others, the source of the Patronus Charm that Eric said is true.

The "Book of Spells" that Merkel gave Eric actually recorded the Patronus Charm.

Eric also saw this magic on it, so he dared to choose the Patronus Charm as the reward for the mission.

Otherwise it's completely inexplicable.

Although Eric knows that a little wizard who has never been exposed to magic, it sounds nonsense to teach himself the Patronus Charm and use it with ease.

But anyway, it's still possible.

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world.

With the talent that Eric showed, he was that kind of genius.

What?You doubt me?Then you show evidence.

If you can’t take it out, right, then you can’t do anything about it with me.

If the "Book of Spells" did not record the Patronus Charm, even if Eric was killed, he would not dare to use this spell in front of other people.

That's really hard to explain at all.

A little wizard who has never been exposed to magic teaches himself and creates the Patronus Charm. This is to deceive others into thinking they are fools.

Who would believe it?

Therefore, Eric must at least ensure that there is no flaw in the statement he gave.

Obviously, Dumbledore and Eric have a great understanding in this regard.

After hearing Eric's explanation, Dumbledore smiled even wider, his eyes narrowed into two slits.

He didn't immediately refute.

Because Dumbledore knew that Eric was lying.

What kind of book of spells, what kind of self-study, and what kind of magic power goes rampant.

Dumbledore is well-informed, he has beaten the Dark Lord twice, and he is not an idiot, how can he believe this statement?

But Dumbledore didn't intend to expose Eric to his face.

He naturally has a way to get the information he wants.

"The Book of Spells? Are you talking about the book of spells written by Miranda? That's such a coincidence. I think when that book was first published, Miranda asked me to write a preface for her. Dumbledore said pretending to be surprised, "The content in that book is indeed very rich."

While talking, Dumbledore locked his eyes on Eric's pupils.

That's right, Dumbledore wants to find the answer from Eric's memory to see who Eric is.

As the headmaster of Hogwarts, of course Dumbledore would not use magic on students at will unless necessary.

But Eric's presence was clearly outside the rules.

A first-year student who can skillfully use the Patronus Charm. Strictly speaking, Dumbledore must ensure that people with this talent are not harmful to Hogwarts.

Legilimency!

Chapter 49 Shocked Dumbledore

Seeing Dumbledore's gaze shifted over, Eric subconsciously concentrated.

In Dumbledore's eyes, he could not see any hostility at all.

Really like a casual glimpse of a well-respected wizard at a student.

This feeling is mysterious.

Obviously Dumbledore didn't force Eric, nor did he make Eric aware of anything wrong.

But sometimes it was only out of logical judgment that Eric believed that Dumbledore would definitely take some measures against him.

Otherwise, why did Dumbledore call him to the principal's office today.

He can let Eric attend the sorting ceremony as usual, and then decide how to deal with Eric.

But he didn't. Instead, he broke the convention and took Eric to the principal's office while everyone was in the auditorium, and sent Lupine away.

Almost at the same time Eric was concentrating, he felt his head shake, and a voice prompted in his head:

[Ding, soul enchantment interception: legilimency. 】

really!

Eric wasn't surprised.

Sure enough, Dumbledore used Legilimency on him.

Eric was relieved after receiving the system prompt. This meant that even wizards like Dumbledore could not break through the interception of the soul barrier.

If Dumbledore's Legilimency couldn't destroy the soul barrier, then others would have no chance.

At the same time, Eric also felt a shock.

There was really no warning about the activation of Legilimency, and there was no preparation in advance.
