Nanao A Dream, please!
Chapter 15
Qi Mu's act of "speeding up the spellcasting of the broom" earned another wave of surprise, admiration, and envy from the Weisles.
The three brothers once again confirmed Roland's identity as a top student, even though he failed to help them repair the car — after all, they were taught a lesson by their father (behind Mrs. Weisles' back).
Qi Mu, on the other hand, was sure that he was indeed a "Muggle" without magic power.
Although the "Muggle Expulsion Spell" around Weisles' house did not work on him, it was probably because he had enough (according to the fortune-teller) "a strong aura" that ordinary spells had no effect on him — at least those prank products were so.
[That's just right.]
He was already a "superpower department store," and his power was still growing. How could he learn the abilities of other people's worlds?
It was really scary just thinking about it.
And the lack of magic power did not affect his enjoyment of the magical world — perhaps there was some connection between the magical powers. He could also see some things that only wizards could see, so there was nothing to regret.
There was still no progress in the search for the card. The picture that Qi Mu read out remained unchanged, but Mr. Weisles said that he had already sent a letter to the "most knowledgeable wizard he knew."
Qi Mu was not in a hurry. He continued his peaceful and happy summer vacation with his "cousin" in the humble abode.
But this peace was soon broken by the children's opening letter, because the messenger was not an owl, but —
"Headmaster Dumbledore?!"
Under the incredulous eyes of Harry and the others, the old headmaster in a bright purple robe laughed and said, "Well, children, I'm just a messenger.
Arthur told me that there's a little wizard here who needs help? "He turned to look at Qi Mu and winked.
[It needs to be investigated.]? _?
Qi Mu had long known that the "greatest wizard of the age" was coming.
At first, Mr. Weisles was suspicious of the "foreign cousin," but he did not take it seriously.
At this time, Harry was just a "boy who survived" in people's hearts.
The war had ended ten years ago, and the Weisles's only caution was out of concern for the lonely and helpless children.
Harry's story was indeed full of loopholes, but it did not seem like he was being threatened or controlled, so the father of the seven children "understood" — it was the children's little secret, he understood very well.
But after discussing it with Mrs. Molly, the two felt that since they had promised to help Qi Mu, they might as well write a letter to Headmaster Dumbledore and tell him the details, just in case.
Out of the simple trust that the underachiever had for the top student, Mr. Weasley felt that the old headmaster must have a way. It was just that he was probably too busy to reply to the letter.
Therefore, as soon as the letter was sent, he told Qi Mu to wait patiently.
Who would have thought that Dumbledore would reply very quickly — he only said that he knew and would come to visit in a few days.
This scared Mr. Weisles, and he could not help but think, "Is there really something wrong with the foreign kid?"
So he did not say anything these two days, but secretly observed Qi Mu, and unknowingly taught the boy some common knowledge about the dark forces in the magic world.
So when the headmaster said that he wanted to talk to "Harry's cousin" alone, Qi Mu was not surprised.
The Weisles and his wife left the living room with the "quiet" children, and the "cousin" Harry followed behind, looking back at the two.
Dumbledore nodded at him kindly. "You can stay if you want, Harry."
The little wizard was afraid that the headmaster would change his mind, so he quickly closed the door (keeping the three curious brothers outside) and ran back.
"I think we should sit down first."
Dumbledore said with a smile. He casually waved his wand and sat down at the table.
Qi Mu was shocked. He found that his telepathy ability suddenly failed!
No, to be precise, it failed to detect the creatures outside the room (such as the twins who were eavesdropping). The voices of the old man and the young boy in front of him were transmitted into his mind as usual.
"What did the wizard do?"
Qi Mu looked at the wand in Dumbledore's hand, and his eyes sparkled. His previous thoughts about magic being "the same as superpowers" and "useless" were all overturned at this moment.
"This is very useful!"
It could limit the range of voices he could listen to. Obviously, it was more to his liking than the germanium ring.
"What a pity …"
The teenager sighed in his heart. For the first time, he regretted his identity as a "Muggle".
Of course, the change in Qi Mu's expression did not escape the eyes of Dumbledore, who had been secretly sizing him up.
The experienced old wizard could tell at first glance that Qi Mu was not a "foreign wizard". He had already guessed that Qi Mu was not a "foreign wizard". However, it seemed that Qi Mu had some other power that even the old wizard was wary of. That was to be expected.
The Soundless Spell was indeed a small test.
He waved his wand slightly, and the spell he cast was not a spell with obvious effect. A careless adult wizard might not have noticed it, but Qi Mu noticed it immediately and showed it (he thought he was expressionless, but it was actually quite obvious).
This basically confirmed Dumbledore's previous conjecture: Harry's "cousin" was powerful and inexperienced.
What puzzled him was that the child had been living in Weisles' house for a week and must have seen a lot of magic. Why was he so surprised just now?
"Does the Soundless Spell have any special effect on him?"
The old headmaster's mind was racing, but his expression did not change. He explained with a smile, "Oh, it's just a little trick. After all, what we are going to talk about is a secret, isn't it?"
He winked at the two of them.
Harry then realized that the headmaster had probably cast a spell to prevent eavesdropping. He hesitated and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore, Mr. Weisles has already told you, right?
My cousin Qi Mu, uh … "
Looking at Dumbledore's wise and tolerant smile, Harry was a little speechless. He felt that their fabrications had been completely seen through — that was why they mentioned the "secret".
Well, he was not surprised at all. "And the headmaster has personally come to help. It's okay to tell him, right?"
Harry was not sure, so he turned to look at Qi Mu.
Dumbledore got straight to the point, "Qi Mu is not your cousin, and he's not from this world, right?"
"How do you know?!" Harry blurted out.
The old headmaster smiled but did not say anything.
"Haha, now I know."
【。。。】_
The old headmaster was not unprepared for this trip.
A few days ago, after reading Weisles's letter, Dumbledore almost immediately connected Qi Mu, this "cousin" that suddenly appeared, with the "new star" that suddenly appeared in the Centaur's mouth.
Years ago, before entrusting Harry to the Dursley family, he had done a thorough investigation. The mother and son living in Privet Drive were the only remaining blood relatives of Lily Potter in the world.
In that case, who was this' distant cousin ', and why was he here?
Dumbledore was not in a hurry to meet him. Even without Firenze's prophecy, the fact that the teenager could enter the house under the protection of blood magic was enough to prove that he had no malice toward Harry.
He decided to do some investigation first. Fortunately, although the Centaur's words were mysterious, the characteristics provided by Arthur were very recognizable (Mr. Weisles said that it was not his credit).
Dumbledore first contacted his friends in Country R, but did not find any clues.
Then, he smelled something different from a piece of news from the Ministry of Magic in his country.
The Department of Magic Abuse Prevention received a tip-off:
Within a day, most of the wanted criminals in London were caught. No matter how deep they hid or how far they ran, they were all tied up like rice dumplings, and no one could say who caught them.
It was suspected to be the handiwork of a wizard who had nothing better to do.
"It's a demon!
A demon with two green eyes bigger than eggs! "
When Dumbledore came to the Muggle police station, he happened to see a fugitive being interrogated. The guy was incoherently describing the scene when he was subdued.
"Its face was pale, and its body suddenly appeared like black smoke …"
"Yes, and then the 'demon' tied you up, but it didn't eat your brain. It also called the police station," a police officer interrupted him impatiently. "We've heard enough fairy tales.
Now!
Tell us the truth about your experience on the run. "
The prisoner was stuck and had a new excuse. "It could also be an alien." He became excited. "He must have some evil intention to come to Earth!
You should catch him, not me. I just swindled some money! "
The presiding police officer was not at all affected by his words. He pressed him step by step and finally took out the confession he wanted.
However, a young police officer thought of the wanted criminals who were arrested on the same day and couldn't help but be shaken. As soon as he came out of the interrogation room, he asked for advice from his seniors.
The veterans put on an "experienced" expression, patted the young rookie on the shoulder, and said that they had seen a lot of criminals who pretended to be crazy and played dumb, and that the purpose of issuing a wanted order was to let the enthusiastic people report. Even if the informant took a mysterious route, there was no need to make a fuss.
Someone also sighed. "Martians, invisible elves, dwarves, wizards, people nowadays are getting more and more imaginative."
He was completely unaware that a "wizard" with a Phantom Spell had just been watching the show next to him and had also used some "interrogation methods."
At this time, Dumbledore was sure that the suspect the Ministry of Magic was looking for, the "enthusiastic people" mentioned by the Muggle police, was "Cousin Qi Mu."
But what was his purpose in doing so?
The old headmaster continued to investigate and then effortlessly found out about Qi Mu's "working trip." While he was reassured by the young man's character, he also had some guesses about his identity and origin.
Dumbledore disagreed with the idea of a "wizard of Country R."
Not only because there was no such person in Country R, but Qi Mu's ability did not seem like a wizard's. Instead of believing that there was a "magic wand on the head," he was more inclined to believe that it was a completely different ability.
In addition, the young man was not very cautious. In addition to his age, he probably had great confidence in his ability.
Dumbledore thought that what he had found was just the tip of the iceberg.
Only in this way could the Centaur's prophecy make sense.
Dumbledore believed in the prophecy.
But he also knew that the direction of fate was not only tied to one person. The Centaur who saw the stars and decided to tell the wizard, and the wizard who heard the Centaur's prophecy, had been involved and became invisible forces.
Therefore, the old headmaster would not completely rely on the young man to take risks. Instead, he was willing to entertain him warmly and help him find the way home.
Of course, in view of the young man's powerful ability, it was necessary to know his detailed information. Presumably, "Harry's cousin" would not mind helping them a little when he was a "guest."
It was too early to say anything now. Dumbledore was only guessing about Qi Mu's identity.
But this did not affect his certainty at all.
