Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

"Who!"

Along with a sharp shout, Link suddenly turned and pointed his wand.

However, what appeared before his eyes was not some monster or dark wizard, but Harry, raising both hands in a French military salute posture.

"I... did I come at the wrong time?" Harry said tremblingly. Right now, he felt like he was confronting an ancient magical beast. Speaking purely of fear, this feeling was even more intense than when Snape glared at him.

After seeing clearly who had arrived, Link put away his wand and circled suspiciously around Harry and Emily.

Emily's behavior just now had indeed been a bit strange.

However, at this moment, Emily had already restrained her expression, returning to that original indifferent attitude.

Link, who couldn't figure anything out after staring for a while, sighed and asked Harry, "Harry, do you have something?"

"It's... it's Dumbledore. He asked me to come and go to him with you right now."

Although Link had already put away his wand, Harry still kept both hands raised as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Link frowned. He hadn't had time to go find Dumbledore, and the other party had already taken the initiative to come find him.

This was not a good sign.

"I understand." Link replied lightly, then turned to Emily with a smiling face and said, "Emily, then I'll go for now. Remember, the gift I gave you, you must carry it with you!"

"Mm!" Emily firmly agreed, then took the Felix Felicis that had already been strung with a cord from the wooden box and wore it around her neck.

"You... you must be careful!"

"I will. Just wait for me to come back." Link smiled and made an OK gesture, then dragged Harry toward the staircase entrance.

Behind him, Emily had a face full of worry and hesitation.

Her right hand clutched tightly at the Felix Felicis pendant on her neck. After a while, she softly muttered, "Link..."

———

In the corridor, Link and Harry were walking quickly, one in front and one behind.

At this moment, Harry had a complicated expression, like he was constipated.

Driven by human curiosity, he was really curious about what Link and Emily, a lone man and woman, had been doing at the entrance of the Slytherin common room.

But since he had just been pointed at with a wand by Link, he really didn't dare say or ask anything now.

Just as he was tangled up in thought, Link, walking in front, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Has anything happened recently with Draco?"

"Ah? Ah!" Harry was startled, but after reacting, he still replied with a complaint, "He's still the same. Every day besides attending classes, he's being arranged to stay in the professors' offices. Even his meals are delivered."

"But recently, he seems to be writing letters frequently. We've caught him going to the Owl Tower alone several times to send letters."

"Sending letters? What letters?" Link's eyes lit up.

"We intercepted and read one once. It was a complaint letter written to his parents! You didn't see it, it was so mushy, Ron and I were embarrassed!" As he spoke, the corners of Harry's mouth lifted.

During the past month, although Draco was still attending classes, he had been under surveillance and his freedom restricted by the professors.

He and Ron, on Link's commission, monitored Draco every day.

Honestly, it was a tiring job, but they still stuck to it. The reason was because from time to time they could mock Draco verbally, or like that time at the Owl Tower, make trouble for him.

For Harry and Ron, who had long been mocked by Draco, this was truly a reversal of fortune.

But upon hearing this, the light in Link's eyes dimmed again. Clearly, this was not the information he wanted.

The two continued walking forward silently. After Harry loudly spoke the password, the door to the Headmaster's office finally reappeared before them.

"Link, Harry, you've arrived."

Looking at Link and Harry walking slowly into the office, Dumbledore greeted gently.

He seemed a bit busy today, this could be seen from the large pile of documents on his desk.

"Good evening, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Link and Harry also greeted Dumbledore, then casually shut the door.

Just then, a slightly immature "chirping" sound suddenly rang out. Link looked up and saw Fawkes the phoenix wobbling as it flew toward him, finally landing on his shoulder.

Compared to last time, its body had grown much larger. The feathers on its body had also gradually changed to bright red, though its flying and other abilities hadn't fully recovered yet.

"Hehe, it really likes you, Link." Dumbledore said with a smile, clearly happy to see Fawkes getting close to Link.

Unfortunately, Link's mind wasn't on that. He gently stroked the phoenix's still-soft chick feathers, gave it a bit of comfort, then expressionlessly asked, "Professor Dumbledore, what is the matter you called us for this time?"

As soon as these words fell, the smile on Dumbledore's face gradually faded.

He sighed, looked at Link and Harry, and said, "Link, Harry. I'm very sorry. After this period of investigation, we did not find any suspicion of being the Heir on Draco Malfoy."

Upon hearing this, Link's expression instantly turned cold, while Harry, who had been cowering beside him, suddenly rushed to Dumbledore.

"That's impossible! Malfoy must be the Heir! We gave you so much evidence, why can't you find anything?"

"I'm very sorry, Harry." Dumbledore said sincerely. From his expression, he seemed truly regretful about this matter.

Seeing this, Harry wanted to say more, but Link stepped forward and pulled him back.

"Didn't you use Legilimency on him?" Link leaned on the desk with both hands and asked, "Don't tell me that's against Ministry regulations, you clearly used it on me before."

This time, Dumbledore was silent. He just quietly made eye contact with Link. In those light brown eyes, it seemed as if some light was flickering.

After the two stared at each other for a moment, Link withdrew his arms.

He understood what Dumbledore meant.

Dumbledore had used Legilimency on Draco, but got no results.

At first glance, this seemed impossible. But it was actually understandable.

Because of legal restrictions from the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore couldn't openly wave his wand and chant spells to use Legilimency on students.

And this kind of covert casting method severely weakened the strength of the spell.

This was also why Link was able to block Dumbledore's Legilimency before. The same applied to Draco.

Because Voldemort was a master of Occlumency, it wasn't strange that a fragment of his soul could manage to protect Draco's mind.

Although such protection wouldn't be very strong, it was enough to block Dumbledore's wandless, wordless Legilimency.

For a moment, Link's expression turned extremely ugly.

Now that things had developed to this point, all of his prior plans had been disrupted.

And as he looked at Link, Dumbledore's lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
