Chapter 204: Visit by a Legelimens?!
Mr. Warris was a bald old man with a thick gray mustache and a flat stomach.
He was wearing a white cloak striped with green, and when Darcie's eyes met his, he smiled.
"Good morning, Mr. Jaxson," Darcie greeted, remembering her courtesy. "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule and coming to see me."
Mr. Warris beamed, and behind him, her father nodded to himself. Daphne had tactfully retreated upon the Healer's arrival and Narcissa had to leave on his request as well. The less magical interruption, the best it would be, the Healer had explained.
"What a good little witch, Mr. Malfoy!" Mr. Warris praised, sitting beside Darcie on a chair, as her father placed himself on the bed near her feet. "I've heard about you, Ms. Darcie, and I have to say, I am not disappointed. The magical fluctuations around you are quite extraordinary. Please tell me how you lost control before we proceed?"
Darcie gave a brief account to the Healer, looking unperturbed except with a slightly vivid nervousness.
"I see," Mr. Warris nodded to himself and looked at Lucius. "Professor Snape showed marvelous expertise in sucking out the chaotic magical force from within her before it could do irreparable damage to her mind. Just to be safe, I will check if any trace of it has been left in her mind."
Mr. Warris' right hand reached into his loose left sleeve and pulled out a black-colored wand whose tip looked worn out. "Don't be nervous," he smiled. "Do you know what I am going to do?"
Darcie nodded. "You will look into my mind," she said calmly, "and learn all my secrets."
