Chapter 23 - Level 15 [ part 5 ]. Legilimens (2/2)
”Magnus. Nice to meet you.”
”We work in Ministry of Magic in the division called ”Improper Use of Magic Office”. Do you know what we are doing there, boy?”
”Making sure magic is not used improperly, which I suppose also includes underage magic. Is it right?”
”It is indeed. We are responsible for exactly that. Month ago, in the outskirts of London chain of robberies has begun, supposedly by a young wizard or witch. Do you know anything about that?”
Magnus raised a brow and asked surprised:
”Robberies? No. It's the first time I hear about them.”
”It's okay. Can we ask where you've been yesterday?”
”Are you suspecting me?”
”No. But we need to ask to exclude you from our list of suspects.”
Magnus nodded and proceeded:
”Well. Okay. I finished my work in the restaurant. After that I went for a run until the nearest park. I spent around half-an-hour or so to meditate there and then I started running back.”
”Why do you run?”
”For training and getting in shape. In Hogwarts I spent most of the time by the books and while here I noticed that my stamina is horrid, so I decided to improve it this.”
”That is… a very mȧturė decision, I must admit.”
The boy shrugged and said:
”Was an orphan whole life. Life makes, you know. But I don't think you are here for that.”
”True enough. Can we check your wand for the last spell casted?”
”Okay. Last time I used the wand was in Hogwarts. Give me a second, I will bring it from my room.”
”Okay.”
In case the boy will run, Harper followed him, saying:
”I will check your wand directly, so no need to bring it. Let's go together.”
Magnus shrugged and confidently smiled.
”Okay”
Few minutes later Harper and Magnus returned.
”Wand's clean and last spell was cast at least a month ago.” Harper said.
Carter frowned but soon he said:
”Hm… Okay. Now to make sure that you are not lying, we need you to cooperate with us.”
”What do you mean?”
”Have you heard about legilimency?”
The boy who looked confused.
”More common name for that is ”mind reading”.”
At that moment Magnus who previously didn't show any emotions except for confidence, showed something very new. Anxiety.
*No progress, but I will still leave it here*
