"But I still don't understand why you want to help me? What is your purpose?"
"My purpose?" Hermione smiled. "I just don't like the current state of the wizarding world."
This is the truth.
But there is another reason.
She would not tell Xiao Fu that she was attracted by his talent in black magic research and wanted him to be a full-time black magic developer. She would only be responsible for taking advantage of him for free.
Xiao Fu nodded.
Suddenly, he realized.
This seemingly harmless little girl in front of him seemed to be even better at bewitching people than he, the dark lord who played with people's hearts.
He was a man who played the role of a seducer, but he was actually bewitched by others!
The most important thing is that he thought what she said made sense!
"So, what are you going to do?"
After a long while, Xiao Fu finally asked.
"Let's start with Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
"First, we need a 'real' heir of Slytherin."
Hermione smiled slightly, with a sinister glint in her eyes.
Daddy Marty, since you love pure-blood supremacy so much, you should have no objection to your son becoming the recognized heir of Slytherin, right?
"Then, you need to cooperate with me and put on a show," she continued.
"it is good."
Xiao Fu had no objection. At this point, he no longer had any say.
Seeing that Xiao Fu was so obedient, Hermione nodded with satisfaction and mobilized the magic book again, and a surge of soul energy surged out.
This time, Xiao Fu's figure became more solid.
Feeling the changes in his body, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Fu's eyes.
He tried to pick up a quill on the table, and he actually succeeded!
Although it was still difficult, at least he was no longer a vague memory.
There's even some simple magic you can use.
This means that he has begun to regain his power!
"By the way," Hermione suddenly spoke up, interrupting V's excitement.
"Do you know where the Room of Requirement is and how to open it?"
……
……
just now.
"Since the petrification incident has been resolved, I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing Hermione notice him, Lockhart forced a smile on his face.
Now he just wanted to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.
"Professor Lockhart."
Luna's light voice came from behind.
Lockhart turned stiffly and saw Luna with her wand raised.
"I suggest you listen to what Hermione has to say."
Luna said calmly.
Only then did Lockhart realize that Luna and Hermione were in the same group!
He swallowed and cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
"Professor Lockhart, calm down."
Hermione's voice sounded, with a hint of soothing in it.
She slowly walked up to Lockhart, her usual smile on her face.
"It was indeed my idea to ask Luna to invite you over. I need your help."
"I?"
Lockhart pointed at himself, looking confused.
He really couldn't understand how a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who could only brag could help her.
"Yes."
Hermione nodded.
"Now, you have two choices."
She held up two fingers.
"The first option."
"You, Gilderoy Lockhart, have used your extraordinary wisdom and keen insight to analyze the truth behind the recent series of petrification incidents at Hogwarts."
"You discovered that the mastermind behind all this was the infamous Voldemort!"
"As an excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, you stepped forward without hesitation and bravely entered Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets alone."
"There, you fought a thrilling battle with the terrifying snake monster and finally succeeded in killing it!"
"You also destroyed Voldemort's Horcruxes and completely crushed his conspiracy!"
"You saved every student in danger, including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Ginny Weasley."
"You have become a hero at Hogwarts, admired and loved by everyone!"
Hermione's voice was rhythmic, as if she was telling a legendary story.
"Everyone present here can testify for you."
She added.
Lockhart was stunned.
This was exactly the script he had always dreamed of!
No, it's better than any autobiography he has ever written!
"Of course, all this comes at a price."
Hermione changed the subject.
"As a hero of Hogwarts, you will have to resign your position as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"Because you think the current Ministry of Magic is corrupt and needs your reform!"
"You need to work for the Ministry of Magic, maybe even run for Minister of Magic!"
Hermione's voice was full of temptation, as if she was painting a beautiful blueprint for the future.
"Of course, we will all help you solve various problems in secret."
"What about the second option..."
Lockhart said cautiously.
"The second option..."
Hermione stretched out her voice deliberately.
Lockhart's heart was in his throat as he waited nervously for what would happen next.
"I will be the hero."
Hermione said lightly.
"And you, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, tried hard to rescue your students in the Chamber of Secrets, but the enemy was too powerful. In the end, you died heroically and will be remembered forever by everyone in Hogwarts."
Lockhart felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his head.
He had no doubt that if he chose this option, Hermione would definitely send him off without hesitation.
After all, killing does not seem to be something unacceptable to this "witch".
"I choose the first one!"
Lockhart almost blurted out.
Are you kidding? Compared with life, what do fame and status mean?
What's more, the first option is not completely without benefits.
According to Hermione's script, he would not only become a hero of Hogwarts, but also take this opportunity to enter the Ministry of Magic and even run for minister!
This is simply the pinnacle of life he has always dreamed of!
Although he also knew that Hermione definitely had no good intentions in doing this, and he would most likely be used as a puppet.
But at least, he is still alive and can enjoy fame and status.
And, if you think about it, the locked room incident is indeed a great opportunity.
Whether it's publishing a book, becoming famous, or running for election, there is a lot to be done.
"very good."
Hermione nodded in satisfaction.
She had expected Lockhart to make this choice.
After all, the temptation of fame and fortune always works for this vain and narcissistic guy.
Hermione was not worried that Lockhart would regret it later.
She had ways of controlling him.
Looking at Lockhart, who was both expectant and fearful, Hermione suddenly remembered something.
Does this count as her indirectly helping Lao Fu fulfill the curse?
Chapter 104 Map Secret Room and Missing School History
If you choose the first one, it means that Lockhart, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, will resign voluntarily and will not be able to work for the second year, and the curse will come true.
If you choose the second one, Lockhart will "die heroically", die, and will not be able to work for the second year, and the curse will come true.
This is really...
Shaking her head, Hermione walked over to the broken snake head and flicked her wand.
The ice gradually melted, and Hermione picked up a few fallen snake fangs from the ground and collected some basilisk blood.
【Magical Creatures】
[Basilisk (collected)]
[A magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius is in the sky, and hatched by a toad. It looks like a giant snake. Any creature that directly intersects with its eyes will be killed immediately, and any creature that intersects with it indirectly will be petrified.]
Then, Hermione picked up the damaged copy of the diary from the ground and handed it to Luna.
The synthesis requirements of this thing are very simple, only two things are needed.
Paper, fragments of Voldemort's soul.
Papers were scattered everywhere, and the soul fragment was found in the Ravenclaw Diadem in the Room of Requirement.
Hermione didn't want to go through so much trouble, but there was no other way. With Dumbledore's magical perception ability, she was afraid that she would not be able to fool him by making a fake Horcrux remains, and the story would not fit.
"Okay, let's get out of here first."
Hermione said to V.
"As for the aftermath, leave it to Luna. I believe she will handle it."
