Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

As headmaster, Dumbledore couldn't possibly openly disagree with Eric.

Or use the power of the headmaster to put Eric's shoes on hard.

If Dumbledore didn't even have such a bit of courage, then he couldn't be the leader of the wizard.

Even if he could bear Voldemort back then, he couldn't bear Eric?

Even the principal does not have the right to decide which student to expel.

In theory, this power rests with the Ministry of Magic.

Hogwarts is a subsidiary institution of the Ministry of Magic.

Each Headmaster is unanimously elected by the Ministry of Magic and the Board of Trustees.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic and the school directors have the right to remove the principal and decide the school's personnel appointments.

Although in Dumbledore's position, he can also get the Ministry of Magic to expel Eric through Fudge.

Or even more extreme, if Legilimency fails, use force to force Eric to surrender.

Of course he can do it. In terms of personal combat power, no one can stop him.

But still the same sentence, if Dumbledore does this, then he is not Dumbledore, and he cannot have the status he has today.

As smart as Dumbledore, how can he not see that the situation at this time is almost incomprehensible to him.

His only "legal" and completely risk-free method, which cannot be discovered by anyone but Eric, is Legilimency.

Before today, Dumbledore had never imagined that his Legilimency would hit a wall with Eric.

In any case, if Eric was unwilling, he would not be able to get a single word of truth from Eric today.

Dumbledore, who had figured this out, was just a little bit screwed up.

Dumbledore resumed his previous mild and mischievous smile, and before Eric could answer, he said frankly: "Although we have never met before, I think you have misunderstood me, Eric, let How about we clear up these misunderstandings all at once today?"

"No problem, professor, but what is the premise of frankness, you should be clearer than me. I have already said that I have no malice towards Hogwarts or you, but I will not accept the situation just now. Talk to you." Eric met Dumbledore's gaze.

"What kind of situation?" Dumbledore asked knowingly.

Eric chuckled and didn't continue talking.

It was impossible for him to tell Dumbledore that he knew that Dumbledore was using Legilimency.

You said he invaded your brain?Show evidence.

What?No evidence?

How did you know?

The confrontation between Eric and Dumbledore was destined to be conducted in secret, tacitly.

It was impossible for Dumbledore to admit that he had Legilimency to Eric, and it was impossible for Eric to admit that he was aware of it.

Then Eric noticed that Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking and kept staring at him.

?

Dumbledore didn't speak, and Eric didn't want to break the deadlock, so he could only stare.

After a long time, Eric found that something was wrong.

Because there was always the sound of the soul barrier working in his mind.

[Ding, soul enchantment interception: legilimency. 】

I will endure.

[Ding, soul enchantment interception: legilimency. 】

I can't bear it any longer.

[Ding, Soul Barrier interception: Legilimency...]

【…】

Eric couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table: "Are you done yet?"

Dumbledore looked at him innocently, with his hands spread out, like I don't know what you're talking about.

Eric was upset, seeing that he was about to take the initiative in the conversation, but Dumbledore broke it in this almost rogue way.

Chapter 51 Improvement of the Patronus Charm

Did you make a mistake.

The most powerful white wizard in the world, the headmaster of Hogwarts, the man who defeated Voldemort.

After being exposed, she actually kept Legilimency at him so shamelessly.

No cover up!

Seeing Dumbledore's smirk, it was clearly intentional.

Dumbledore obviously also knew that Eric could perceive his Legilimency, but he had nothing to do with Eric.

So I didn't act at all, let's be clear.

It can only be said that it was Dumbledore who, after noticing Eric's anomaly, chose a way that made Eric the most helpless to respond.

Dumbledore was just like that.

In a situation that has nothing to do with the overall situation, although he has strong magic power, he never minds making small jokes with others.

It can be seen from the entrance password of the principal's office.

Which serious principal would set his password to "cockroach pile"?

He somehow reminded Eric of one of those unlucky kids who go around ringing other people's doorbells.

If you don’t understand, just ask, are all old men with white beards so naive?

[Ding, soul barrier interception...]

Eric pointed at Dumbledore: "Stop!"

Dumbledore smiled, and finally did not continue.

"Doesn't this show that you are good at Occlumency?" Dumbledore showed no guilt at all.

The phoenix next to them, who had been watching the conversation between the two, also opened its mouth and narrowed its eyes, as if it was smiling.

Eric was speechless. Is there anyone else in the principal's office that is normal?

Phoenix Fawkes is Dumbledore's pet. It has a spiritual connection with Dumbledore, so it naturally understands what just happened.

Even Phoenix was laughing at him.

You really think I can't do anything about you, right?

...Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really no way.

Dumbledore is Dumbledore after all, and even if he starts acting rogue, that's not something Eric can handle easily.

He couldn't do anything to Eric, but on the other hand, Eric couldn't do anything to Dumbledore.

Both of them know that the other has a secret, but they are still constrained by their respective identities, so they can only choose to maintain such a delicate balance.

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you, I just made a small joke, if I hadn't confirmed that your Occlumency is so good, I wouldn't have done this." Dumbledore pointed at Phoenix Fox and said seriously, "Eric, Maybe you'd like to show off your Patronus Charm here? Fox is also very curious about your Patronus."

"Of course, but the premise is that you don't use Legilimency on me anymore." Eric warned Dumbledore, simply saying it out loud, and he stopped acting.

I believe in you.

Little joke?

If Eric had let down his vigilance just now, then Eric would have really become a joke.

But it seemed that Dumbledore had no intention of telling anyone what happened today.

As far as Eric is concerned, he is perfectly acceptable.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Okay, I promise."

Seeing his smiling face, Eric was even angrier.

No matter how he answers, Eric will always keep the soul enchantment turned on when facing Dumbledore, and will not give Dumbledore any more chances to invade his brain.

Dumbledore knew it didn't matter how he answered, Eric wouldn't believe it anyway.

The heart of defense is indispensable, how could Eric hand over his fate to others.

Now that he had spoken, Eric did not procrastinate, took out his wand and summoned the Patronus.

As soon as the pure white giant eagle appeared in the principal's room, the portraits on the surrounding walls turned their attention.

Even these previous headmasters of Hogwarts saw such a powerful patron saint for the first time.

Phoenix Fox was even more taken aback, and looked at the giant eagle curiously.

The giant eagle did not show any weakness, let out a low growl, and stared at Dumbledore and Fox with provocative eyes.

As a phoenix, how could Fox bear it.

Although the giant eagle is huge, it is a phoenix, a mythical creature at the apex of the magic world. Like the dragon, it possesses magical powers.

With a cry, Fox spread his wings, his feathers stood up, and there was a faint flame burning in his eyes, staring at the giant eagle without showing any weakness.

"Take it easy, Fox."

Seeing that the two birds were about to fight, Dumbledore stretched out his hand to comfort him.

In the principal's room, Dumbledore's words were still useful, and Fox glanced at the giant eagle with disdain, and slowly retracted his wings to his side.

Here, Eric also canceled the Patronus Charm in time, and the figure of the giant eagle disappeared.

"It's well-deserved." Dumbledore praised, "He is indeed a rare patron saint."

"Thank you, Professor."

Dumbledore asked curiously, "Is this really the first time you used the Patronus Charm on the train?"

"Yes."

"Before you summoned your patron saint, I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing your patron saint with my own eyes, I found that your patron saint charm does have a little flaw."
