Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard
Chapter 810 Luna's Intuition
This time Snape suddenly came over to give Kyle a wake-up call. He didn't know who Dumbledore had seen before leaving, and what they had talked about.
Snape could come to him today, and Slughorn might come to him tomorrow for another matter, but he couldn't guarantee that he could fool him every time.
In other words, this unknown situation is the biggest test.
Kyle's response was simple...run away.
After Snape left the principal's office, he asked the principal's portrait to help call Professor McGonagall, who had just finished class, and mentioned the matter to her.
"You mean, Severus came to see you? And said something you didn't even know?" Professor McGonagall frowned, looking a little surprised as well.
"He just left not long ago." Kyle said, "To be honest, I have never been so nervous when I took the N.E.W.T exam."
"Dumbledore really rarely mentioned Severus to us, and I can't help you with that." Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "Strange, why didn't he mention this in his letter? "
"That's the crux of the matter." Kyle sighed, "I don't know how many more situations like this there are. If there are too many, it will definitely be exposed."
"Then what do you think?"
"I can't stay here any longer." Kyle took a deep breath. "As long as they can't find Dumbledore, they will naturally have no chance to expose me."
"No." Professor McGonagall shook her head without hesitation and rejected Kyle's proposal.
"I don't think this has any impact, Professor." Kyle said, "Wasn't Professor Dumbledore always absent from the school before? Everyone must be used to it.
"Besides, I've already appeared at the opening party, so it shouldn't matter if I leave school temporarily."
Professor McGonagall hesitated and did not refuse immediately like before.
But after hesitating for a moment, she still shook her head, "No."
"Why?"
"Because you can't disappear forever." Professor McGonagall said, "You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters have been active this year, and you need to show up in school often."
"I can just come back then." Kyle said, "Didn't Professor Dumbledore do this before?"
"Then how do you get in and out of the school?" Professor McGonagall said, "The students have already started school. If you come to the school again, you can only go through Hogsmeade. There is a mix of good and bad people there. Even if you use the invisibility cloak, there is no guarantee that you can hide it from everyone. .
"A graduated student returning to Hogwarts will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. We should try our best to avoid any possible exposure situations now, unless you use Dumbledore's identity every time."
"That's easy to say, as long as you don't go to Hogsmeade." Kyle laughed.
The issue that Professor McGonagall was worried about was not a problem at all to him.
"Don't go to Hogsmeade? Then why do you..."
Before Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she saw Fox, who had been perching on a branch, fly over and land on Kyle's shoulder.
"Fawkes?" Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then realized something, "No wonder Dumbledore asked you to pretend to be him."
She had never seen Fawkes being so close to someone other than Dumbledore... This was also a fact recognized by the wizarding world.
Almost all wizards know that Dumbledore has a phoenix beside him. In a sense, it is also a symbol of his identity. As long as you see the old man with the phoenix, there is no doubt that it is Dumbledore.
This is something that no one else can imitate, even if you drink Polyjuice Potion.
Before this, she had never understood why Dumbledore was so comfortable letting Kyle pretend to be himself, but now she finally understood.
With Fox's cooperation, Kyle doesn't even need to use polyjuice potion. Even the most common body transformation technique can easily make people believe his identity.
"I have no problem." Professor McGonagall nodded immediately and glanced at Kyle, "While the effect of the Polyjuice Potion is still there, you can show your face again, and then you can leave.
"Next time...Halloween. Anyway, Dumbledore always needs to be present when the school has important banquets."
"I know." Kyle nodded.
Afterwards, he put on a less formal silver-gray robe and followed Professor McGonagall out of the principal's office.
"What do I need to do?" Kyle asked.
"You don't need to do anything, just act as usual." Professor McGonagall, "Think about what Dumbledore would do when he was in school, and don't do anything deliberate."
"I can't even imagine that he has never appeared in school in recent years. Every time I see him, it's always in the principal's office."
"Then think further, you must have met him when you were in first grade."
As they talked, the two walked through the place where the gargoyles were, and when passing by the Gryffindor common room, they met a group of students who were going to have lunch.
"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall, Principal Dumbledore..." Seamus Finnigan, who was walking at the front, said excitedly, "Principal, is everything you said before true?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's Quidditch. If we win the championship, can we really get two hundred points?" Seamus rubbed his hands, "And that gold medal, how is it selected? Is it an internal recommendation within the team? Or is it everyone? Vote together.”
"First of all, you will definitely get 200 points, provided that you can win the championship." Kyle said with a smile, "As for the second question, you will know when the time comes."
"Can't you tell us in advance?"
"You have to keep some mystery." Kyle blinked, "Okay, let's go to lunch quickly, there are black pepper fried pork chops today."
"Well then..." Although Seamus was not very satisfied with this answer, he still left out of awe of the headmaster.
"Actually, I want to know too? How is this standard set?" After they left, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle, "At first I thought it was based on the score, but if it was just like this, the advantage of the seeker would be too great, which would be unfair to other team members."
"Then do as Seamus said and vote." Kyle said casually.
"But in this case, students with good popularity will have an advantage." Professor McGonagall said, "and there are too many uncertainties in voting. At that time, it is very likely that there will be a situation where a student does not contribute much in the game but gets a lot of votes.
"This is also the first Quidditch gold medal at Hogwarts, and it is also very likely to be the last one. I think it is better to only look at the strength and not consider any other factors."
"I think so too." Kyle said.
"What do you think?"
"My thoughts?" Kyle continued to walk forward, "I have no ideas."
Professor McGonagall paused, "Didn't you consider anything when you made this suggestion?"
"No." Kyle nodded as a matter of course, "Didn't I say it yesterday? I suddenly thought of this idea in a rush. How could I think everything through in such a short time?"
"What should we do after that?" Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly rose a lot, "Two hundred points is easy to say, but when the game is over, what standards should we use to award the gold medal?"
"That's none of my business. "Kyle spread his hands, "I'm just a substitute, I can fool around for a while, you can't let me be a substitute for a whole school year.
"Dumbledore will definitely be back by then, let him worry about this."
Professor McGonagall felt her temples throbbing.
She always thought that Kyle's words yesterday were just talk, but she didn't expect it to be true. He really didn't consider anything and made that decision.
And Dumbledore was the same, he disappeared without a word, leaving all the school's affairs on her.
I thought Kyle could help a little, but he went even further, he helped a lot...
These two people, why are they so virtuous.
Professor McGonagall couldn't help rubbing her forehead, getting one salary to do the work of three people, let alone a professor, even a ghost can't be exploited like this.
Looking at Kyle in front of her, her years of professorship almost couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
She wanted to hit someone.
And now Kyle is in Dumbledore's image. If he takes action, it is equivalent to beating two people at once, which is a sure win.
More importantly, Kyle's identity is different from Dumbledore, so it is easier to beat him.
This has nothing to do with strength.
Because Kyle is her student, Kyle's parents are also her students, even if he is really beaten, Kyle will not fight back.
This is like Professor Marchbank scolding Dumbledore. Even if he is the headmaster and the greatest white wizard in the magic world, he can only stand there and hand over a cup of tea.
This is really a rare opportunity, do you want it...
"Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore..."
A voice suddenly came from behind her, bringing her back to her senses.
"Miss Granger," said Professor McGonagall, "what are you doing here?"
"I'm going to have lunch," said Hermione, "I'm sorry, Professor, but I want to know what you think about the thing I asked you before."
"I have no objection, you can give me the paper at any time." Professor McGonagall said, "But Miss Granger, I must remind you that "Transfiguration Today" has its own criteria for judging the quality of the paper, and my opinion can only serve as a reference.
"And their cycle is very long. Only when you are a student can you get the Most Promising Newcomer Award, but you are already in the seventh grade."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to give it a try." Hermione said, "As long as I can pass it, I will be satisfied. If I can't get the Most Promising Newcomer Award... Although it's a bit regrettable, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, the knowledge I accumulated last year is not enough."
"It's just a possibility, not necessarily." Professor McGonagall said, "It's just the beginning of the school year, if everything goes well, there will be no problem."
"H... Miss Granger, are you going to submit your article to "Transfiguration Today"? "Kyle asked beside him.
"Yes, Headmaster. "Hermione said, "Everyone says this is the most authoritative Transfiguration magazine. I want to give it a try."
"You have already surpassed most students by having this idea. Whether it succeeds or not, it will help you in the future."
"I think so too." Professor McGonagall said.
"Okay, come with me." She said to Hermione, "I have a few books here that should be helpful to you."
After that, she turned around and took Hermione to her office, and said to Kyle, "Pay attention to the time."
Kyle responded.
He knew that Professor McGonagall meant for him to pay attention to the time of the Polyjuice Potion and not to change back directly in public, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Kyle would naturally not forget this.
After Professor McGonagall left with Hermione, he walked toward the auditorium alone.
Since you want to show up, you must find a place with a lot of people. It is lunch time now, and nowhere is there more people than the auditorium.
He didn't meet any other students along the way. When he reached the second floor, he was blocked by someone.
It can't be said that she was stopped. She was probably squatting at the corner of the stairs, which happened to be the direction leading to the auditorium.
"Miss Lovegood." Kyle said in a greeting tone to other students: "What are you looking at?"
"Gou Li."
"Where is it?" Kyle looked directly in front of her. There were only floor tiles and a group of small bugs attracted by the cookie crumbs.
"I was scared away. They were still here just now." Luna stood up, the cork pendant on her ear shaking.
"Hello, Kyle." She greeted: "Why are you back at Hogwarts?"
"You...you got it wrong, I am the principal." Kyle said.
"Really? That's really congratulations." Luna said happily.
"I...well, how did you tell."
"Because I know you, isn't it weird?" Luna said with a smile.
She was still the same as before, wearing strange ornaments and gaudy glasses.
Kyle had to admit that there were always some unexplainable people or things appearing in the magical world, such as Tonks's natural disguisemagus, and then Luna.
Is she a natural Legilimency?
No, not like that.
Not to mention that his Occlumency is the most perfect, it can be considered a moderate success. Even Dumbledore and Voldemort should not be able to see through his thoughts.
Cat Leopard is also a natural Legilimency master, but its ability is still restrained by Occlumency.
As for Luna, she recognized her identity at a glance without any doubt. This was not something Legilimency could do.
After thinking about it, Kyle could only tentatively attribute it to an extraordinary intuition.
To put it simply...whoever I think you should be, then you must be who you are. She doesn't believe what she sees with her eyes, she only believes in the first thought that pops up in her heart.
This ability is even more unreasonable than a natural Legilimency, because it is not affected by any external factors, no matter how well it is disguised, it is useless.
…
"Kyle, how does it feel to be the principal?" Luna asked curiously: "Compared with the students."
"It's just average, not great, not as comfortable as a student." Kyle said, "But Luna, can you do me a favor?"
"Okay." Luna said, without any hesitation or even asking what the favor was, she agreed.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Kyle said, "That's it. If you saw me in school, can you not tell others?"
"Why should I tell anyone?" Luna asked, tilting her head, as if Kyle had asked a stupid question.
"Well..." Kyle was at a loss for words. He felt like he couldn't keep up with Luna's thoughts.
"Okay, I agreed, Kyle didn't come to Hogwarts." Luna said calmly, "Well, goodbye, Principal Dumbledore... But I have to say, you are not as good-looking as you were before. "
Luna continued to shake the corks from her ears and skipped away from the second floor.
Kyle stood there and watched her run to the first floor, turn into the auditorium and disappear.
Magic is like this, it can always bring people all kinds of unexpected surprises or shocks.
Kyle estimated that even if Tonks turned into a person who had no resemblance to her at all, Luna would see through it at a glance.
Kyle felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, this person is Luna... Of course, it is only Luna.
Although this kind of extraordinary intuition is very unreasonable and not magical, it will not have this effect if it appears in another person.
For example, Hermione, when she doubts something, the first thing that comes to her mind is not to believe it, but to think about whether it is logical. If the facts she sees are contrary to her intuition, she will subconsciously deny her intuition.
Take the matter of pretending to be Dumbledore.
The first time Luna saw herself, she decided that she was fake. Even if everyone and the facts told her that the person in front of her was Dumbledore, she still didn't believe it.
If it were Hermione, Professor McGonagall would be able to clear him from suspicion with just one sentence.
