My necromancer career begins at Hogwarts

Chapter 94 Magic Manifestation

“I can indeed hide myself in the shadows,” Maurice explained. “I’m born with it.”

The matter of the Dharma Master's book cannot be discussed.

For now, we can just get by with whatever we can. In any case, judging from the effect, the Shadow Concealment spell isn't a dangerous magic.

"Born with it?" Dumbledore glanced at him. "Didn't you learn it from books, or have someone teach you?"

"Yes," Morris answered affirmatively.

In this world, it is not uncommon for some wizards to be born with special magical abilities.

He had seen many similar examples in the book.

For example, the Disguise Magus is born with the ability to change his appearance at will.

He can save himself a lot of trouble by simply insisting that his magic is innate.

After all, in the magical world, strange things are normal.

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully. "As long as it wasn't learned from some strange place. I heard your Potions professor mention that he saw you in Knockturn Alley."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Morris's face. "Well... I didn't do anything wrong."

"I know," Dumbledore said gently. "Snape said you found a few days' work there, but I must remind you, Knockturn Alley is not a suitable place for students to work."

"I know a student who used to work there. He was a very talented kid, but unfortunately, he went down the wrong path."

"Who is that person?" Morris asked curiously.

Dumbledore shook his head and didn't reply.

"It can't be Voldemort, can it?" Maurice muttered to himself, saying aloud, "I'll be careful, Professor. Actually, I'm just trying to earn some pocket money."

Dumbledore replied, "That would be best."

Just then, Maurice suddenly sensed something was amiss.

An unfamiliar magic was quietly approaching his spiritual world.

"!"

Morris was startled.

Dumbledore seems to be using Legilimency on him?

No wonder his brain felt itchy.

It turned out to be the case.

However, his mental strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, so Dumbledore's gentle intrusion probably wouldn't be able to read any information.

So Maurice coughed softly and said quietly, "Headmaster, I'm just a first-year student. Is there any need to check my memories?"

Dumbledore paused slightly.

That gentle magic faded quickly, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Your senses are very sharp, Maurice," Dumbledore readily admitted, with even a hint of admiration in his tone. "Most adult wizards would have difficulty detecting Legilimency."

Morris said, "I'm more sensitive to magic."

"This is a rare talent." Dumbledore nodded, showing no embarrassment at being exposed. "Please forgive my actions; this involves the safety of the Philosopher's Stone, and I must be cautious. But I assure you, I will not use any form of detection magic on you from now on."

"It's alright, Headmaster," Morris said calmly. "I don't mind."

It would be a lie to say I don't care.

However, since the other party was Dumbledore, he could only curse inwardly.

Probing into memories is undoubtedly a very offensive act.

If it weren't for his strong mental fortitude, he would be in serious trouble.

Putting aside the matter of the Book of the Mage, his identity as a transmigrator alone is enough to put him in a difficult situation.

If it gets discovered... I wonder if anyone would believe him if he said he has delusions.

In short, we must be extremely careful from now on.

Dumbledore's Legilimency was not forceful; he clearly held back.

If it were a dark wizard, the scene would definitely not be so gentle.

After a few seconds of silence, Dumbledore continued, "Maurice, I have a special spell here that might suit you well."

He drew his wand and waved it gently.

Morris could clearly feel a surge of magic gathering at the tip of Dumbledore's staff.

This magic is invisible and colorless; it is simply pure energy.

Dumbledore asked, "Can you feel it?"

"Sure," Morris replied, then looked puzzled. "But why are you showing me this?"

"I think you might need to learn this spell," Dumbledore said. "The spell is Manifestation. Come on, take out your wand; it should be easy for you."

Maurice obediently pulled his wand from his robe.

Dumbledore then demonstrated it again on the spot.

Morris waved his wand and recited the spell.

"Magic Manifestation!"

In an instant, the same magic gathered at the tip of his staff.

"An inexplicable curse," Morris thought.

Why did Dumbledore specifically make him learn this?

"Very good." Dumbledore seemed quite pleased with the spell Maurice had cast.

"What's so good about it?" Morris asked instinctively.

"Let me explain," Dumbledore said. "This magic allows your soul state to manifest through magic, and those who have cast dark magic have souls that are different from ordinary people."

Morris finally understood.

Dumbledore is checking whether he has been exposed to dark magic!

Fortunately, what he learned from the book of mages had nothing to do with dark magic.

It just looks a little strange.

"I'm glad you didn't go astray in Knockturn Alley," Dumbledore said with satisfaction.

“I told you I was just doing this to earn some pocket money,” Maurice shrugged. “Who would want to go to that messy place if it weren’t for Galleons?”

This answer is very true, and also... completely unreasonable.

Whose first-grade student is working in Fandao Lane?

what?

Dumbledore said, "Don't go to Knockturn Alley anymore, Maurice. Although Snape told me your boss isn't bad, that's just because you're lucky. You can't be that lucky every time."

"I understand, Headmaster," Morris nodded in agreement.

It's impossible not to go to Flip-Down Alley.

Unless Galleons fall from the sky.

Morris ultimately did not obtain the Philosopher's Stone, nor did he even see it.

Fortunately, Dumbledore did not punish him in any way, but only told him not to tell anyone about it and not to covet the Philosopher's Stone again.

Morris secretly vowed that he would not give up!

Only someone who truly desires the magic stone but doesn't intend to use it can retrieve it from the mirror.

So who would meet this condition?

The answer is obvious.

Harry Potter.

Morris could almost guess the clichéd ending: Harry Potter gets the Philosopher's Stone and thwarts the villain's plot.

In other words, as long as you follow Harry, he will most likely be able to see the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

There will always be an opportunity.

We just need to wait for the right time.
