Then the bed curtain was lifted, and a brown kitten rushed towards her.

"Kate!" Hermione hugged her tightly in a crying voice, "You scared me to death! I thought something happened to you!"

Kate pushed her away with difficulty, and asked with a pale face, "What's wrong with me?"

"Didn't Professor Dumbledore tell you?" Hermione wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You were stunned by the outsider who sneaked into the school before, and then you were sent here by Professor Snape."

Ah this...

Kate's face twitched. Although it wasn't an excuse for her to take the blame like Magic Riot, it didn't seem too reliable, right?

And there were so many people affected by her magic power at that time, if one student revealed it, wouldn't this clumsy lie be self-defeating?

No... With Lao Deng's ability, it doesn't seem to be difficult to make the inexperienced students think that the impact they received came from a mysterious figure with extraordinary magic power?

Another example is the sudden explosion of Harry's broomstick, which can also be interpreted together with her magic power overflow as an unknown figure secretly playing tricks.

Thinking about it that way, it's a pretty good excuse.

But next, in order to reassure the parents, he had to find out an "outsider" as the real culprit.

After Harry successfully guarded the Philosopher's Stone and exposed Quirrell's true colors, he could blame everything on him.

In addition, Quirrell was originally involved in these two matters, and it was a perfect fit to dump the blame on him, with no flaws at all!

Um?Wait a moment!

Only then did Kate realize that if Dumbledore really explained this to the outside world, can it be considered that he already knew the true identity of the so-called "outsider"?

Then Dumbledore knew everything she had done before?

Inexplicably shivering, Kate subconsciously said to the heat source beside her, "Come closer, I seem to be a little cold."

"Yeah!" Hermione nodded, took off her shoes and squeezed directly onto her bed.

Before Kate could react, she hugged the man into her arms.

Kate froze for a moment, and gradually relaxed when she felt the warmth from Hermione's soft body.

Anyway, the weather is very cold anyway, so holding a big human-shaped cat to keep warm is also a good choice.

This tenderness lasted for less than half an hour. Madam Pomfrey lifted the bed curtain and said with a straight face, "It's time to visit."

Hermione sat up in a panic, and looked at Kate again, who had fallen into a deep sleep at some point.

She smiled helplessly, and then quietly left in peace.

As soon as he walked out of the school hospital, he saw the two brothers Harry Ron running over.

As soon as Hermione saw them, she was so angry that she stopped talking, and said in a cold voice: "Is the celebration banquet over? Sorry, the visiting time has passed."

He is obviously Kate's friend, but he is late even for medical visits.

"No," Harry hurriedly explained, "We didn't go to the celebration banquet, but went to find Hagrid!"

Ron also quickly interjected: "That's right! Didn't we see Snape hurt a leg before, so we thought he wanted to pass through the room of the three-headed dog?"

"But last time on the Quidditch pitch, he didn't do anything to Harry." Hermione frowned.

To this day, she was still sorry for having believed Harry, doubted Snape, and secretly set fire to his robes.

Harry nodded: "That's right! We noticed that only Professor Dumbledore and Professor Quirrell were in the teacher's seat at the time, so—"

"So you're starting to doubt Professor Quirrell again? Then why don't you suspect the outsider who broke into the school?"

Now Hermione wasn't interested in their random suspicion of what other people were doing.

All she wants now is for Kate to get better soon!

Harry was speechless for a moment: "I... I don't know either, so we asked Hagrid, who knows, he slipped his mouth!"

"He said that the thing guarded by the three-headed dog is an agreement between Professor Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel! This matter is also related to a man named Nicole Flamel!"

This was undoubtedly a new clue, so they couldn't wait to share it with Hermione.

Looking at the two boys, Hermione took a deep breath: "Until Kate gets better, I don't have the heart to check on Flamel, and—"

She gritted her teeth: "I think you, as Kate's friends, should care more about her instead of thinking about the three-headed dog room all day long!"

Chapter 62 Entering the principal's office

To Kate's surprise, she was bedridden in the school hospital for two days, except for Hermione and Cho Chang who came every day, Harry Ron also came once, and even Malfoy came.

Is it going to rain red?

When she asked this question with a confused face, the awkward young master blushed and walked away.

So this guy came to see her joke, right?

Without knowing exactly what Malfoy was here for, Kate simply didn't think about it.

She lay on the hospital bed for two full days before she was allowed to leave the hospital by Madam Pomfrey.

She thought that when she returned to the Slytherin lounge, she would be hostile by the little snakes, and no matter how bad she was, she would be ridiculed.

After all, at that time, her magic power spilled out, and those who accidentally overturned were all Slytherin students.

What she didn't expect was that when the people in the lounge saw her coming back, they just glanced at her indifferently, and went on with their own business.

Just ignore her like always.

Even the little boy who was the first to be knocked down by her when she snatched the telescope didn't say a word.

What a surprise, the guy had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth back then.

Kate glanced at them silently, then entered the dormitory by herself.

Since she didn't bother her, she didn't bother to investigate further, so as to avoid any conflicts when she could.

After returning to the dormitory, Pompom became much more energetic, and after two months of intermittent sleep, his size has grown a lot visibly to the naked eye.

She would flap her wings to eat food and drink water, which made her worry a lot.

After checking briefly and confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Kate licked the water and food again, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After lying in the school hospital for two days, she was really uncomfortable.

But even Dumbledore had to listen to Madam Pomfrey within the confines of the school hospital, so how could she resist that fat-hearted head nurse?

After tidying herself up, Kate stepped on her slippers and saw a note on her desk.

"Principal's Office Password: Lemon Sherbet."

From a glance, it was obvious that Lao Deng let the house elf let him go.

Kate's originally comfortable mood sank again.

For the sake of her health, she forced herself not to think about whether Dumbledore really knew that the "outsider" was related to her.

But now, he can't wait to let himself take the initiative to go there, so it's time to think about how to deal with it.

The best situation is that Lao Deng doesn't know anything, and he came to him just to discuss the aftermath—it's impossible to know.

The most ideal situation is that he knows everything, but chooses not to tell it, or deliberately conceals it from outsiders.

Kate prefers him to choose this way, as can be seen from his short dialogue when he wakes up.

As for the worse situation... Forget it, it's useless to think so much, it's better to talk to him in person.

Putting on a clean wizard robe, Kate didn't even have time to sit down and rest, so she went straight to the principal's office.

This is Kate's second visit to the principal's office, and she is much more familiar with it than the first time.

Say the command to the gargoyle at the entrance, successfully enter the spiral staircase, pass through the oak door, and enter the office.

This time, she didn't see Fox, but Dumbledore was already drinking afternoon tea leisurely at the table.

"Sit down, kid." Upon seeing her, Dumbledore smiled a little, "Would you like some?"

Kate nodded cautiously, watched him wave his wand to refill the teacup in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and took a sip from the teacup.

Uh... milk and sugar are added in it, so it's milk tea!

Thinking back decades later, people will be addicted to milk tea and cannot extricate themselves. In fact, the legendary wizard Dumbledore also liked this stuff decades ago.

Cough... thinking is a little divergent.

Kate quickly put down the milk tea, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw Dumbledore's blue eyes looking at herself through the half-moon mirror.

Startled, she subconsciously straightened her back.

Did not notice any sign of using Legilimency...

After a long period of madness, her Occlumency has reached level 4. It stands to reason that as long as the Legilimency is less than level 8 or above, she will at least be aware of it.

Lao Deng's Legilimency... shouldn't be that strong, right?

She looked at Dumbledore nervously, her fingers unconsciously clutching her knee.

After a while, Dumbledore was seen smiling: "You seem to be afraid of me."

Kate's heart skipped a beat, and she was just about to explain, but facing such a pair of wise eyes that seemed to see through everything, she swallowed the words that were on her lips.

do not be afraid!

Apart from the two secrets of the traverser and the system, she has nothing to fear from Dumbledore!

Puffing herself up in her heart, she managed to pluck up the courage to say, "Because I heard...you are a very powerful wizard."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "From a long time ago, there are indeed many people who are afraid of me, because they are all dark wizards."

"It's not a matter of black and white, professor!"

Kate shook her head, her voice trembling slightly, "I have more respect for the professor than fear."

"Respect, because you are the most powerful wizard, fear, because you are the most powerful person."

Since Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, it has proved that his pattern is extraordinary.

Afterwards, the plots of the seven Harry Potter books proved his wisdom and strategy.

The two generations of Dark Lords were actually defeated by Dumbledore. Even if he himself died, he could count on Voldemort's death based on the layout he had made during his lifetime.

As for Harry Potter, who is called the savior, he is just one of the executors of his huge plan.

A wizard, in terms of strength alone, has nothing to fear.

But the pattern of one person is above all people - not only wizards, but also all human beings.

Such an existence deserves her respect and fear.

Dumbledore looked at her thoughtfully, for a moment it seemed that he was not looking at the junior, but as if he was looking at an opponent who could match him.

But soon, he took the initiative to move his eyes away, and looked up at the portraits of previous principals who were still sleeping soundly on the wall.

"About the change on the Quidditch pitch a few days ago, I think your friend should pass on the explanation announced to you for me."

When Kate heard this, she scratched her face a little shyly.

When she was discharged from the hospital, Hermione told her the results that Dumbledore had announced to the public.

Sure enough, it was exactly as she thought.

Lao Deng pushed all the blame on that "outsider".

"Have you ever wondered who this outsider is?" Dumbledore suddenly turned to look at her.

Chapter 63 Dumbledore's Purpose

Kate's hand, which was about to serve the milk tea, trembled, but at least she didn't spill the liquid inside.

This is not a good question, Lao Deng!

Taking a look at Dumbledore's expression, she tried her best to be entangled and confused in line with the little girl's expression.

"Professor, do you mean to say that I might know this man?"
