Chapter 63: Sudden escape.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart, it seems that the academy is monitoring the entire academy, and the students are free!
He might have been discovered the first time he showed up, but no one has bothered him.
Since no one has bothered him, he certainly can't go to the door himself.
Legilimency is indeed overbearing. It can sense his thoughts just by looking at each other. The last time he had this feeling was at the Sorting Hat.
It's just that the Sorting Hat is not a wizard, so there was no feeling at that time.
The powerful Legilimency can even read memories. Looking at the appearance of the dean of the academy, he doesn't even need to recite the spell. I'm afraid that like Dumbledore and Voldemort, his mastery of Legilimency has reached a superb level. Hope suddenly thought of a magical animal, the cat-leopard, which is also one of the school symbols of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in North America.
This magical animal has the innate magic of Legilimency, but there is no material of the cat-leopard on the market, and it is more difficult to find it than the fire-leopard.���The materials are even rarer and more precious.
Perhaps he could also consider this type of magical creature as an alternative, but he felt that the difficulty of its fusion would not be low.
Not only that, there are three other colleges in Ilvermorny School of Magic in North America, and the magical creatures represented by the Horned Water Snake College and the Thunderbird College are also very strong. The Horned
Water Snake is huge in size, with a gem on its forehead. It is said to have the ability to fly and become invisible. Hope has seen its portrait and feels exactly the same as the mangy snake with dragon horns, but they are also rare and hide in rivers and oceans, which is not the domain of wizards.
Thunderbirds can cause storms and sense danger.
The abilities of these magical creatures are indeed powerful, but Huo Xi feels that their fusion level is at least A-level. The previous fusion of the fire dragon has made him feel quite difficult, and he is not going to touch such a high level for the time being.
And if he wants to fuse a difficult magical life, he might as well go for Dumbledore's phoenix.
"Will your identity be exposed? Will I be okay?"
Huo Bufan's slightly panicked voice interrupted Hope's reverie.
"Well, it shouldn't be that serious."
Hope touched his chin and said uncertainly.
In fact, if the United College really had something like the Marauder's Map, then Huo Bufan and his several trysts would probably have been discovered.
But his sneaking into the library this time was considered a serious violation of the college rules by the students, and the dean didn't take action directly after discovering him, and his tone was not so cold, but slightly kind, so Huo Bufan might not be held accountable.
Hearing Hope's words, Huo Bufan seemed even more flustered. Once discovered, he might be fired. Expelled.
Whether or not he attends an academy has no effect on him, and the resources within the Huo family are sufficient to teach him. But if he is expelled from the United Academy, he, Huo Bufan, will become a joke in the eyes of others, and he is still a direct descendant of the Huo family's main line. It is a loss of face for the entire Huo family, and that would be a terrible result.
When the head of the family is still his grandfather, he is naturally still a direct descendant.
Seeing Huo Bufan so impatient, Huo Xi patted him on the shoulder casually and comforted him slightly:"It doesn't matter if you are expelled. At most, I will compensate you and help you become the head of the Huo family."
However, Huo Bufan did not feel any comfort because of this sentence, but things had already happened, and he could do nothing about it. He forced himself to suppress the panic in his heart and made himself look much calmer.
"By the way, I have always wanted to ask you, why can't I sense your bloodline with the jade pendant of my clan now?"
Huo Bufan turned to look at Hope and asked.
Hope's eyes flashed, and he probably guessed what was going on. His self-transformation even changed his core, so Huo Bufan's jade pendant could not detect it.
"It's just a jade pendant. It's not easy for me to avoid it. There are so many people with the surname Huo in your academy. If I didn't have this trick, I would have been discovered long ago."
Huo Xi said perfunctorily.
""Okay, okay, you go back."
Huo Xi's doubts were dispelled, and he sent Huo Bufan back directly.
Looking at Huo Bufan's departing back, Huo Xi's eyes flickered slightly. From the dean's words, it seemed that he wanted to talk to him.
But
Huo Xi didn't plan to do that. How could he be so stupid as to chat with a wizard who was proficient in Legilimency.
Maybe he should learn some brain occlusion, not only to deal with the dean of the academy, but also to deal with other wizards who were proficient in this art.
But brain occlusion is not so easy to learn. If you want to learn it, you probably need someone to teach you, and in the process of teaching, others may use Legilimency on him, which he obviously can't accept.
Self-study? If he has enough talent.
Hope still gave up this idea. It would be better to find out if there is any characteristic that can defend against Legilimency with this time.
He suddenly remembered that Snape was also a master of this.
Hope frowned immediately, thinking that his true identity would not be discovered before, and carefully recalled the scene of that night.
When he really started to contact Snape, he probably transformed into Quirrell and broke into the hall, but at that time Snape obviously did not find out whether he was real or fake, but was directly deceived by him, otherwise he would not have left him with the students.
This shows that Snape did not use Legilimency all the time, at least not before he was suspected, and at that time, by mistake, Snape did not suspect him because of the temporary extra smell on his body.
But when Quirrell and Snape Magon met outside the hall, they must have used Legilimency on him after they came back, but he did not know it at the time.
Hope couldn't help but let out a deep breath. The situation was much worse than he thought.
At that time, Snape was in the hall. Hope knew that he must be a fake at that time, but he still let him confront Quirrell. He might have sensed what he was thinking at that time.
Hope couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He had forgotten a little. He probably wanted to put on a good show and exit smoothly, and reveal Quirrell's identity before that.
In other words, Snape was just going with the flow at that time. He knew who was real and who was fake, but he just didn't say it. He learned about Quirrell's abnormality from him, and used him to reveal Quirrell's true face!
But Hope didn't care about this. The only thing he cared about was whether Snape knew his true identity. Logically, he was very focused at the time and it was impossible for him to think about other things, so his thoughts could not reveal his true identity.
You know, Legilimency is just a magic that detects current thoughts. Even if you can check your memory, It was just the thought that came to his mind at that time that caused the related memory.
This magic sometimes needs language to guide it, that is to say, as long as he doesn't want to, Snape can't find out his true identity. This is also the principle of brain occlusion!
Hope was relieved immediately. Legilimency is not omnipotent.
Suddenly, Hope's face was dull, as if he thought of something, and his face changed. If he remembered correctly, Snape asked him who he was when he came back.
Huo Xi took a deep breath. The situation was worse than he thought. His identity was probably exposed.
As for why nothing happened now, it seemed that he was really hiding. It was probably because Dumbledore was not in school!
Snape had to guard Quirrell and had no spare energy to deal with him. He knew that Hope didn't know that his identity had been exposed.
Huo Xi's pupils shrank in an instant, and he felt cold sweat on his back. If he hadn't met the dean of the college who used Legilimency on him today, he might really be completely kept in the dark.
When Dumbledore came back, he was afraid that he would be surrounded and didn't know why!
While Hope was daydreaming, Dumbledore had already returned and appeared in the principal's office.
"Severus, I have read your letter. You could have waited for me to come back before you attacked Quirrell.
Dumbledore looked at Snape seriously and said slowly.
"I only knew that there was something wrong with Quirrell, but I didn't know that the person was hiding in Quirrell."
Snape said expressionlessly.
Dumbledore looked at Snape deeply, as if trying to tell the truth from the false.
"Are you sure it was the Gryffindor kid who took the Philosopher's Stone?"
Dumbledore finally stopped arguing about this matter. Snape was very talented in brain occlusion, and he couldn't tell whether it was a lie like other people.
"I saw the memory of him holding the Philosopher's Stone, and Quirrell didn't touch the Philosopher's Stone. He couldn't even get past the three-headed dog!"
Snape said with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
In fact, Hope had an idea in the hall. At that time, he was considering whether to show off in front of Voldemort that he had taken the Philosopher's Stone. In the end, he did not say it out loud, but Snape knew this idea at the time and saw the relevant memory.
"I remember that he was Hannie's child... Her father sent her to the East because he didn't want her to be involved in that storm, and he really did it. Unfortunately,……"
"How did he take the Philosopher's Stone away from under your nose?"
Snape asked in confusion.
Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh, his eyes shining,"He Apparated away in front of me, and he was only eleven years old."
Snape frowned and questioned:"You can't Apparate in Hogwarts!"
"This is surprising, I don't know how he did it."
Dumbledore shook his head, understanding Snape's doubts
"I'll bring him here."
Snape said coldly. If it weren't for Quirrell, he would have caught this guy who had fooled them over and over again!
Dumbledore looked at Snape's back as he left, but didn't stop him. He still believed that as a professor, Snape would know how to deal with a first-year student, and that with Snape's ability, he could stop Hope before he could Apparate.
……
On the other side, Huo Xi was as impatient as Huo Bufan before. After realizing that his identity had been exposed, one of his ideas was to run away. If he couldn't stay here, he would find another place to stay.
In fact, after his identity was exposed, the previous act of pretending to be a professor was at most a prank. After all, he had never really hurt anyone. At most, he was just punishing him.
But he would definitely be brought to Dumbledore. Under Legilimency, even the secret of the Philosopher's Stone could not be hidden. Instead of doing this, it would be better to run away in advance.
Hope, who had thought about all this clearly, used the treasure to sense and found that Dumbledore had actually returned to Hogwarts. He didn't know if he had already started to be wanted.
But he couldn't just leave like this. He immediately cast Apparition to return to Hogwarts and quickly returned to the dormitory. At this time, Harry and the others were playing wizard chess during lunch time.
Huo Xi took out a piece of parchment from the table and wrote on the paper quickly with a magic pen. When the magic pen finished writing, he didn't pack anything, nor did he say goodbye to Harry and the others directly. He quickly left the dormitory and cast Apparition to leave the castle.
Of course, before leaving, he ran to the basement of Hogwarts and took the Philosopher's Stone with him. He returned to the villa in the capital, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Fortunately, he had a place to go.
As for Hanny, Hope had a headache. How should he explain it? He couldn't say that he had tricked the whole school and finally ran away early because he felt guilty.
He could imagine that no matter what, he would be in trouble first, but this was not a big deal. After all, with the concurrent skin, it was impossible.
After thinking about it, Hope took out a piece of paper and began to write a letter. After finishing it, he nodded with satisfaction and folded it up.
Then he Apparated and appeared in his room upstairs. From the noises from time to time below, he knew that Hanny was downstairs.
Hope changed, his body suddenly shrank, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into an owl, exactly like his Gilly, holding his letter in his mouth and flapping his wings.
Snap!
He jumped and landed very straight, falling heavily to the ground.
Hope quickly stood up again and shook his head. It was normal to make mistakes when flapping his wings for the first time.
He started flying again, and it was very difficult to control the direction. This flying was not as comfortable as flying a sword. It felt like he was using a lot of strength. He would probably be exhausted soon. He flew out of the room crookedly, and just as he was about to go down the stairs, he lost his balance due to a loss of control. He flapped his wings in panic, but lost his balance even more and fell directly to the first floor.
The ground he landed on was not as hard as he felt, but rather soft and warm.
He opened his eyes and saw that Hanni had caught him in her hands.
"My son sent me a letter?"
Hanny naturally recognized Geely, and said with a little surprise, pulling the letter out of Hope's mouth and putting it on the ground.
Hanny opened the letter and read it word by word. Her expression became more and more wonderful. Her mouth opened slightly with a look of disbelief, and then her face turned black.
Seeing Hope's expression, Hope instinctively moved away. He had given up the idea of flying. He flapped his wings gently, jumped onto the stairs, and climbed up one floor at a time.
Hanny didn't have time to pay attention to Hope's transformed owl at the moment. Her face changed and she almost screamed.
Her son actually stole the Philosopher's Stone?! That's the Philosopher's Stone for refining the elixir of immortality! There is only one in the world!
And Hope ran away to the East because of this, saying that he was relying on a relative to avoid the limelight, and that he knew his father was expelled from the family. But one of his nephews was willing to help him temporarily, so Hanny didn't have to worry, and if Dumbledore came to the house for this, let her help cover it up.
Hanny's face changed after reading the letter. This letter alone seemed to her to be a complete prank! It's just that the owl was Jilly, that's for sure. Owls are very loyal, and no one else can catch up with the speed of owls, let alone replace the letters of owls.
So this must have been sent by her son, which means it was Hope's prank, but the letter mentioned Hope's father, and she didn't tell Hope about his father's side...
Hanny stood there thinking gloomily for a while, and finally threw the letter away, quickly pulled out her wand, pointed at the letter in the air...
""The flames are blazing!"
The next moment, the letter was suddenly engulfed by flames, leaving only a trace of ash falling.
Regardless of whether her son was playing a prank, the letter could not be kept. After all, it involved the Philosopher's Stone, a treasure that all wizards wanted to get.
And Hoshi's transformed owl had long disappeared.
On the other side, in the Gryffindor common room, when Harry and the others were playing wizard chess, Snape suddenly broke in, his face gloomy, his eyes quickly swept across the dormitory, and he still held the wand in his hand.
Not seeing Hope's figure, Snape instinctively frowned, turned to look at Harry, and asked in a cold voice:
"Where are the Huo Xi people!"
"I don't know, maybe he went to the bathroom."
Harry turned around and looked around, but couldn't find Hope, so he said.
Snape walked out without stopping, obviously going to the bathroom.
"It's over, Hope's going to Hogsmeade village won't be known."
Ron said in panic.
Harry's face sank slightly, and he shook his head,"Let's go and have a look!"
But at this moment, Neville suddenly shouted,"Come and have a look, this is what Hope left behind."
Harry and Ron looked back and found Neville holding a piece of parchment in his hand.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, temporarily gave up the idea of following Snape, and turned to Neville
