The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

After leaving the principal's office, it was logical that they should go back to the dormitory to sleep, but neither DeWitt nor Hermione felt sleepy at all, and they had no intention of going back to the dormitory. It was as if the curfew regulations would cease to exist as long as they were not mentioned.

.

"I think you must have doubts, a lot of doubts," DeWitt was walking in the corridor of the castle. He saw A2 just now. Now A2 was leading the way with an oil lamp in front. He heard him say: "Why don't you think about it too?

Where should I start?"

Hermione couldn't see DeWitt's face clearly under the flickering oil lamp. She was in a daze for a moment due to the sense of security generated by the atmosphere at the moment, and then said: "Oh... I have a lot of problems, and they didn't stop when I left Hogwarts."

I thought over and over again - when I rescue you, I must ask you carefully, but now... I don't seem to want to ask anything anymore."

DeWitt's response seemed a bit stiff: "Why?"

"Oh, it's like this," Hermione whispered: "When I see how good it is now, I feel that other reasons - no matter what... it doesn't matter anymore."

After hesitating and hesitating, Hermione finally changed what she wanted to say: "But since you want to say it - then I'm still happy to listen, just from... just from the strange words between you and Professor Dumbledore.

Let’s start talking? Can you tell me those?”

"Yes, of course I can," DeWitt said: "There is nothing I can't say to you, you just have to let me think about where to start."

After thinking about it, he said as he started to go down the stairs: "You know Legilimency, right?"

"I know." Hermione didn't immediately tell the role and effect of Legilimency like she did a few years ago, and then recite the knowledge she read in the book. She simply said it and stopped speaking.

"Dumbledore...Professor, who is proficient in this magic, may be looking at each other, maybe catching a glimpse, through which he can get a glimpse of what he was thinking at that time. This kind of behavior is not moral, because I think no matter how many

As long as evil things are not acted upon, they are not considered sins... What do you think?"

Hermione thought it made sense, and she thought about it for a while without refuting.

"So it would be useful to peek into other people's minds," DeWitt said: "Do you remember what happened during my first grade... sorting ceremony?"

"Remember," Hermione laughed: "What you did may be the first of its kind since the founding of Hogwarts."

"It was that time that Dumbledore used Legilimency on me for the first time, but I didn't know it at the time," DeWitt said flatly: "He saw something and captured some of my thoughts at the time, but

Fortunately, the thoughts I had at the time were just my resistance to the Sorting Hat's ability to read my mind, and some examination of the past - can you understand? Human thoughts are free, even if you can't control them yourself, put yourself in their shoes for a moment.

:When I resist mind-reading, I can’t help but think of something about myself that cannot be read.”

"You..." As the words were about to leave her mouth, Hermione changed in time: "Have you been seen for the last time?"

"I can't remember exactly," DeWitt said. "It's only now that I think about it that I feel there was something unusual at that time. I also have an idea - if there was no intervention, I probably wouldn't have been assigned to Griffin."

"More."

"You mean..."

"It's hard to say. In fact, Ravenclaw is good. I have a good impression of people who study academics. Don't say I'm suitable for Slytherin - I don't like those people's style. Even Hufflepuff is better than Slytherin.

Well, at least they can go to the kitchen to find something to eat."

"Then why did Dumbledore do this?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Probably a reflection after a lesson," DeWitt guessed: "For Voldemort, Dumbledore obeyed the Sorting Hat and let Tom Riddle enter Slytherin. Later, he may have thought about what would happen if Voldemort entered.

Will Gryffindor have a different result? He may think that Gryffindor has some ability to change people's evil ways, so he sorted me into Gryffindor - probably because he doesn't want the wizarding world to appear

The second Voldemort?"

"This is a bit... child's play. You don't look like Voldemort," Hermione frowned and said, "Do you have any basis for what you say?"

"I'm very happy that you think so. I really hope that I can be a 'good person' even in a narrow sense. As for the basis... there is no basis for it," DeWitt stretched and flexed his joints and said: "

It's not an important thing, so it's all my guess - and not long ago, he used Legilimency on me again - this time it's certain, but he didn't see anything this time, because

My strength is complete."

"Power?" Hermione was puzzled: "What power?"

"The secret source, called this name," DeWitt said, "is the power of the soul."

Hermione stopped asking questions, knowing that DeWitt would explain soon.

"Let's review this year's journey again, and I will tell you what I know and what I know, as well as the final choice I made and the reasons for it."

"The first was the attack caused by Emma Grossman. This incident was completely beyond my expectation. I thought she would die in a long silence for the rest of her life. This would be a very cruel punishment. It would be very cruel.

It suits her, but I really didn’t expect that a ruthless person outside the material world would be targeting her."

"You mean the Mirror Master? The man named Gunter O'Dimm? And what does the material world mean?"

DeWitt sighed, frowned and said with difficulty: "You want to ask about the definition of the material world? I can't tell. It's called that in the book, others call it that, and I call it that - the place where we stay is material.

The world, similar...ah, don't go into details, this question is too broad, let me continue what I just said."

"Then Emma Grossman came to Hogwarts, and you saw everything that happened afterwards - in fact, I could handle it just because of her strength, and Dumbledore could also deal with her, but

The Mirror Master appeared, he paused time, and he...killed me."

"So..." Hermione said with difficulty: "You were..."

"He really died, without any defense." DeWitt slowly exhaled the deep breath he had just taken: "My nostalgia for the world of the living and the call of the Hall of Echoes are about to tear me in half...

...The Hall of Echoes is the underworld, the spiritual world, where the dead go - consciousness is chaotic, but your thinking is very clear. You can imagine the situation you are in, and you know that you have great resistance to death, but

Even if you can't escape, no matter how hard you struggle, you will realize that you can't escape...Ah, that feeling, no matter how many times you experience it, you will never get used to it."

"Then...how did you survive?" Hermione said: "In the last cycle, I was caught by Gaunt O'Deim...he..."

DeWitt hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell the truth. He didn't want Hermione to realize that the most important goal he wanted to achieve didn't need him at all after putting in a lot of effort and sacrifice. But as far as the relationship between the two was concerned,

, and he didn’t want to add elements of deception into it.

It took too long, and Hermione also had a hunch. She forced a smile and said: "What? Can't you say it? If it's not appropriate, it's not actually..."

DeWitt said: "There's nothing inappropriate, I'm just resurrected."
