Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

Chapter 253: New Crisis



"Of course not, I just… thought of a happy thing."

Link immediately restrained his smile and said.

At this moment laughing is indeed not very appropriate, it will give people a feeling of gloating.

The petty-minded Snape obviously just thought so, hearing this he pulled the corner of his mouth and unceremoniously said,

"Do you think you are now free and easy? Hmm?"

Link shook his head vigorously.

"Heh! This is exactly what you think, I can see it."

Snape continued, "But what I must remind you is, your previous loss of control has already been noticed by me and Dumbledore."

"Under the situation that the polymorphic disease has already been cured, you still nearly lost control, this gives me a somewhat unpleasant guess!"

Link leaned back slightly, expression serious.

This time he really could not laugh anymore.

Because just as Snape said, this loss of control is very likely to make Dumbledore and Snape connect it to other reasons.

For example… whether the Mike Horcrux in Link's body has still not been removed.

Then the question comes.

The last time Voldemort used an Avada Kedavra to kill the Horcrux, who was that?

And now the soul controlling Link's body, who is that?

Following this reasoning it is very likely that Link's identity of soul travel will be exposed!

For a moment Link's scalp exploded.

At this time, upon discovering Link's sudden change of expression, Snape instead looked like his mood had improved a lot.

He leaned back against the chair, and said in a rather relaxed tone,

"Are you so afraid to this extent? According to my estimation, the reason you almost lost control should be due to the bloodline in your body. I, Dumbledore, and your mother will all help you think of a solution."

After Snape said this, Link also relaxed a bit.

Things at least did not develop toward the worst situation he imagined.

"In short," Snape took out from the potion cabinet behind him a bottle of specially made calming potion and pushed it in front of Link, "the medicine still cannot be stopped!"

Link did not speak, only looked at Snape for a while, then picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

The next day, Dumbledore held a banquet in the Great Hall to celebrate the end of the Sirius Black incident.

At the banquet he told all the teachers and students the full detailed process of this matter, and gave extra points to all the people involved including Link and Harry.

Among them Harry and the other two each received 100 points, while Link and Emily each received 200 points.

From the points alone, Dumbledore obviously favored Gryffindor.

After all, this time Gryffindor's total score was 300 points.

If it were in the past, other houses would definitely make a fuss.

But this time no one got tangled over such a small matter, what everyone cared about more was that Hogwarts had regained its former vitality, even the sky around Hogwarts was bluer.

Whether students or professors, everyone was very happy.

After all, the 'soft lockdown' lasting more than half the semester had finally ended.

This was especially true for the residents of Hogsmeade Village.

You must know they are not students who need discipline, it's hard for them to accept that so-called curfew system.

Of course, the most important reason is that after the 'soft lockdown' ended, the students' desire to spend money increased greatly.

This to some extent made up for their previous economic losses.

Hagrid, who had been showing extreme pessimism and sadness before, had recently also become cheerful and optimistic.

The reason for this was simple.

Link entrusted those Skars who had completed their mission to Hagrid to care for, because the energy needed to raise those dozens of hounds was truly terrifying, and Link felt he could not bear it.

Of course, on the surface, Link used the reason of 'donating' them to Hogwarts for magical creature protection research.

Hagrid did not doubt this at all, happily accepting.

After all, he had long coveted Link's hounds.

And what really surprised him was that because the Skars had made outstanding contributions in the earlier Sirius chase incident, students were extremely interested in them.

This indirectly caused Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class to become popular.

In short, everyone in Hogwarts had benefited.

Link was even the biggest beneficiary.

What he did in the Sirius Black incident, after some time of being told and retold, directly caused his prestige among his classmates to increase greatly.

Even to the extent that everyone revered him.

But Link could not feel happy no matter what.

One reason was that the Marauder's Map had been destroyed in the explosion at the Shrieking Shack, and he had not managed to get this item.

Another reason was that after thinking carefully he found that what Snape had said earlier was far from so simple.

Even if for now no one connected Link's loss of control to the possibility that Mike had not been eliminated.

The crisis still existed.

From the matter last time where Dumbledore wanted to use Voldemort's hand to remove Mike, Link could see that Dumbledore's desire to remove the negative state on Link was extremely strong, even to the point of using any means.

What reason there was for this, Link naturally did not know.

But he could be sure, Dumbledore would not give up so easily.

Next time he might come up with some even more dangerous method for Link to try.

With such an abnormal headmaster around, Link even had the desire to transfer schools.

The Ilvermorny that Madam Flamel introduced last time was a good choice.

This American magic school was internally also divided into Horned Serpent, Thunderbird, Wampus, and Pukwudgie four houses, looking like a knock-off version of Hogwarts.

Still the inferior kind, because it had too short a history, lacked heritage, and its teaching staff was insufficient.

But it had all the necessary facilities, and they were all very new.

The American wizarding world's commercial environment and political environment were also better than Britain's, and control over various restricted spells was relatively loose; going there to study abroad and pass the days was not a bad choice, since Link's improvement in strength did not much depend on professors anyway.

Another choice was Durmstrang.

This was a magical school almost as old as Hogwarts, the first Dark Lord Grindelwald had studied here.

Different from other schools, Durmstrang still adhered to ancient traditions, admitting only pure-blood students, and openly teaching students dark magic.

These two points were often attacked by many people in the international wizarding community, but Link felt they were great.

First, he himself was a descendant of the Sacred Twenty-Eight with the purest bloodline, entering such a school that valued bloodline would directly make him a superior person.

As for teaching students dark magic, that was even less of a problem.

Link had long wanted to learn the Killing Curse.

Most importantly, on Link's mother's side, Madam Flamel's relatives, were a famous family in Germany, who had always studied at Durmstrang since ancient times.

Link going there could also be considered to have heritage, and could get quite a lot of privileges.

Of course, transferring schools was something to be done only if absolutely necessary in the future.

At the current stage, Link still planned to stay at Hogwarts, to observe the development of the situation.

After all, Hogwarts was the center of the plot, and only here could Link have more chances to get skill points.

After quietly making the decision that if the situation turned bad he would take Emily and run away to transfer, Link once again threw himself into the Room of Requirement.

He still needed to integrate and understand the harvest from this time, to fully improve his own strength.

In this dangerous world, strength is the first.
