Hogwarts becomes host

17. Legilimency



"Sorry Gryffindor, what is Slytherin?" Harry was confused.

In the carriage, Harry and Ron sat on one side, while Hermione and Elaine sat on the other. For the eleven or twelve-year-old wizard, the carriage was a bit big, and it could fit even four more people.

As a girl, Daphne naturally wanted to sit next to Elaine instead of Ron. However, Elaine seemed to really not want Daphne to sit down, at least not to sit with her. She childishly spread her limbs to occupy most of the seats until Hermione stepped on her before giving way.

"It's the name of the house. Hogwarts has four houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw." Daphne explained to him kindly. "Gryffindor values ​​courage, Ravenclaw values ​​wisdom, Slytherin values ​​wizard blood, and Hufflepuff treats everyone equally, no matter who they are, they can enter."

"Then I will be sorted into Hufflepuff. I have no intelligence, no bravery, and I am not a pureblood." Harry said frustratedly. "Hagrid said Hufflepuff was a loser."

"I want to get into Gryffindor." Ron also had a bitter look on his face. "My whole family is in Gryffindor. If I were sorted to another place, I don't know what they would do. I'm not saying that other houses are bad, you just know."

"Gryffindor seems to be the best. Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are both from there. I also hope to be assigned to Gryffindor." Hermione's tone suddenly hesitated. "But Ravenclaw seems pretty good. I heard Ravenclaw has its own library."

"Most of the family will be sorted into the same house, and the Shafiq family has always been Slytherin." Daphne said. "Slytherin is the best place to develop connections. Many descendants of ancient wizarding families are here, and they all hold important positions in the Ministry of Magic. In addition, there are also mixed-race students in the academy now, and the Potter family is also a lineage of ancient wizards. Harry, you can still get in if you want."

"But that's, that's the academy where the mysterious man stayed. All the dark wizards who went bad came from there." Ron whispered, "Elaine even said we were Gryffindors."

"No one knows where they will be sorted before they are sorted. Besides, there are dark wizards in other colleges, but they refuse to admit it."

"Yes, and not all families will be placed in the same house, otherwise the Black family, which claims to be eternally pure, would not have a Gryffindor." Elaine said disdainfully.

"You mean Sirius Black, right? He is indeed a Gryffindor." Daphne looked at Harry meaningfully and smiled, then turned to Elaine and said. "But I still hope you can be sorted into Slytherin. I'm really interested in you. Can't I make a friend?"

"If I am sorted into Slytherin tonight, Malfoy's body will be floating on the lake tomorrow morning." Elaine sneered, "You really want to be my friend, you shouldn't have accepted that book the year before last."

"You are the only wizard left in the Shafik family now. There is no point in going against Malfoy. Besides, he apologized─"

"It's useless for him to apologize hundreds of times. It's up to you to make a fool of yourself on that occasion."

"Okay, but you also made the whole Malfoy family look bad, tit for tat."

"What kind of revenge is that? What I said is the truth. You have the guts to act like a Death Eater and do evil, but you don't have the guts to admit and face the consequences. You are a bunch of rubbish." Elaine stopped Daphne from continuing to speak, "And you have missed the point. I refuse The reason is that you took the book and not because you were helping Malfoy."

"That's a shame."

Daphne was stunned for a few seconds. After she realized what she was doing, she let out a long sigh and left the car without any explanation, leaving behind a confused Iron Triangle and Elaine.

"Well, I'm a little curious, if you are willing to explain." Harry scratched his head.

"Uh, I don't understand what you are talking about at all." Ron spread his hands, "It sounds like it's very powerful."

"So the Malfoys really did something to you, right?" Hermione asked seriously. "You wouldn't attack someone without any reason. He must have done something extremely excessive."

"Actually, it's nothing, Daphne is a Legilimency." Elaine shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Because of her young age, her ability has not been fully developed, but she can already read some things, so I I really don’t want to be near her.”

"Oh my God, Legilimens," Hermione exclaimed in a low voice, seeing the two boys' faces full of question marks, impatient to explain. "This kind of person can enter other people's minds, and secrets cannot be hidden from their eyes. Well, Harry, just think of it as mind reading. But how can you confirm it?"

"The first time I threw a book at Malfoy, the distance was about this, and his father couldn't stop him in time." Elaine compared the distance between herself and Harry, which was only a little longer than her arm. "But Daphne caught the book without using magic. This reaction speed was too weird, unless she knew I was going to throw it."

"That doesn't mean that as long as she stays next to you, she can know everything about you." Harry shuddered, "Such a terrifying ability."

"It's not that exaggerated. People's minds are not that easy to read. She can at most know my next move, but she can't read the deeper thoughts and reasons. Otherwise, she wouldn't keep pestering me."

"Okay, but what about Malfoy?"

Elaine glanced at Ron who was very interested and said, "You are really nosy."

"Well, I just, um, care about my friends." Ron laughed dryly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

"Since Elaine doesn't want to talk, we won't ask." Hermione glared at Ron.

"Forget it, there were so many people at that time. It would be useless if I didn't speak. Others will speak just the same." Elaine rubbed her temples and said, "Three years ago, when I represented the Shafiq family at a social dinner, that This guy pulled my dress back in front of everyone and embarrassed me."

"what"

The three of them shouted at the same time, and Hermione's scream drowned out the voices of Harry and Ron, causing Elaine's ears to hurt.

"Can you please keep your voice down? And am I the kind of person who is easy to bully? I knocked out two of his teeth on the spot, and then you know."

"What a piece of rubbish, my dad said. Malfoy is not a good person. If I catch him," Ron raised his fist angrily.

"But──the dress shouldn't be taken off so easily." Hermione asked puzzledly, "If he pulls your clothes, there's no way you won't resist."

"Oh, have you forgotten? I just recovered three years ago. I am still very thin and I suddenly wanted to go. Nott had no time to modify the dress, so he pulled it loose." Elaine said with a sneer, "Malfoy always insisted it was just a joke, so I decided to make him do it ten times to see if he would laugh when it actually happened to him."
