"You, what on earth have you done! Why are you here!?"

Hermione smiled:

"I?"

"Weren't you the one who called them over?"

Talos' eyes were red with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hermione shook her head helplessly.

"It seems like you really can't remember anything at all."

Then he waved his wand, and a mysterious wave penetrated into Taros' mind.

Talos only felt his memory gradually loosening, and pictures appeared in his mind.

Chapter 112 Lockhart's Highlight Moment

The confusion in Talos' eyes faded, and horror and disbelief crept onto his face.

He stared at Hermione and said in a hoarse voice: "What... did you do to me?"

"Nothing, just a slight adjustment to your memory." Hermione said lightly.

"I used the Oblivion Charm to erase your memory of being under the Imperius Curse."

"To make you forget that it was you who took the initiative to gather all the Skrulls, and then..."

Hermione paused deliberately and looked at the corpses on the ground.

Talos' face turned green as he staggered back, his eyes filled with despair and anger.

"You...why did you do this?"

Hermione tilted her head slightly.

"why?"

"For peace on Earth, of course." She said it matter-of-factly.

This is true.

Cleaning out this group of potential threats was one of the few good things she did sincerely and without expecting any reward.

Talos stared at Hermione with an unwilling look on his face.

"We are just a group of interstellar refugees persecuted by the Kree. We came to Earth just to find a place to live. We have not done anything to harm the Earth..."

He tried to defend himself.

Hermione interrupted coldly, "Really?"

"Since the Earth has accepted you, you should abide by the law and live an honest life, instead of thinking about how to take over the Earth's nest and become the master."

Hermione paused and said, "What you did reminded me of a creature called the Sizzling Squid, which has the same character as you."

Talos' body trembled slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

"Aren't you afraid of exposing your true self?"

After a long time, Talos finally squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Hermione smiled contemptuously.

"What does your internal power struggle among the Skrulls have to do with me? I wasn't there."

A trace of despair flashed in Talos' eyes. He knew that he might not be able to escape today.

"You...you'll never succeed..." He clenched his teeth, his voice determined.

"Even if I die, Fury will definitely find out the truth..."

Hermione pouted in disdain.

"Fury?"

"Do you really think he has the time to take care of your shit?"

"Don't worry, you won't leave any bodies behind."

"From the outside world's perspective, you simply disappeared in the internal fighting among the Skrulls."

She paused, her tone mocking, "Besides, do you really think that Fury is most concerned about you right now?"

"Those looming traitors within S.H.I.E.L.D. are his biggest headache right now."

After saying that, Hermione ignored Talos and waved her hand, causing a stream of blazing flames to burst out.

The flames condensed into a ferocious giant snake in the air, roaring and pouncing towards Talos.

Talos didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before he was swallowed by the raging fire.

In the blink of an eye, not even ashes were left, and it completely disappeared from this world.

……

Hogwarts.

The auditorium was noisy.

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium with a serious expression.

The students gathered together, buzzing non-stop, with a look on their faces that said "Are you kidding me?"

Just now, Professor McGonagall told them that the petrification incident that had caused a lot of controversy at Hogwarts had been solved after investigation.

The mastermind behind the incident has been successfully eliminated by Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, and Hogwarts has once again become the safest place.

Not only that, he also brewed an antidote from mandrake, so that the petrified students would soon be able to jump back into life.

The students looked at each other, with an expression of "I don't believe it" in their eyes.

Lockhart?

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who can do nothing but brag and pose?

He solved the petrification incident in the secret room?

What is even more unacceptable is that Professor Lockhart not only killed the basilisk, but also destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Although I don’t know what a Horcrux is, anything related to the “mysterious man” must be terrifying.

But since Professor McGonagall said so, they could only believe it.

That’s right, the mastermind behind this time is still our dear Voldemort... Looking at the shocked expressions of the students, Hermione was secretly happy.

"In recognition of Professor Lockhart's heroic act, I propose that everyone applaud!" said Professor McGonagall.

Then she led the applause.

There was some scattered applause.

Lockhart strode onto the stage, his signature grin shining like a lightbulb.

He waved to the students in the audience.

"Thank you everyone, thank you Professor McGonagall, thank you Hogwarts!"

Lockhart's voice was full of passion.

"It's my honor to be able to contribute to Hogwarts!"

He took a deep breath and began to talk about his "heroic deeds".

"That night, I sneaked into Slytherin's secret room alone..."

He vividly described how he fought wits and courage with the basilisk and Voldemort, how he defeated them with superb magic, and finally rescued the reckless Harry, Ron and others.

Lockhart's voice rose as he spoke, as if he had actually fought an epic battle.

The students were stunned.

Although they still found it a little unbelievable, Lockhart's story was so exciting that they couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.

From time to time, someone would exclaim "Wow".

Lockhart was delighted.

He liked the feeling of being praised to the sky and liked the admiring looks from his students.

At the back of the auditorium.

Hermione just stood there with a half-smile on her face.

Noticing her, Lockhart's smile froze, then returned to normal the next second.

He knew that all this was arranged by Hermione.

He was just an actor, trying to play the role Hermione needed.

But so what?

At least, he is now a hero of Hogwarts, admired and loved by everyone.

This is his highlight moment, and he wants to use this opportunity to reverse the students' stereotypes about him in one fell swoop!

He has tasted the sweetness and can no longer resist this feeling.

Now that he has boarded the pirate ship, he might as well go all the way to the end. His intuition tells him that along with crises come opportunities.

Lockhart withdrew his gaze and continued to perform passionately on the stage.

Hermione looked at Lockhart, who was spitting all over the stage, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This guy is quite sensible.

As expected of a writer who has written so many best-selling books, his stories are so infectious and sound so real.

It's a talent.

Harry, Ron, Ginny and others also noticed Hermione at this time, looked surprised, and walked towards her quietly.

"Hermione, you're finally back!"

The confused Harry seemed to have found his backbone.

"Do you think what Lockhart said is true?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I always feel like something is wrong."

Harry frowned.

He always felt that this scene was familiar.

Chapter 113 Depressed Lucius

The same thing happened the last time we tried to stop Quirrell from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

As soon as he saw Voldemort, he fainted.

After waking up, I was confusedly told that the matter had been resolved.

But it was Hermione who solved it last time, so naturally he had no doubts.

But this time it was Lockhart, how could he believe it?

If he had to believe that Lockhart had this ability, he might as well believe that Voldemort walked with his left foot stepping on his right foot, fell flat on his face, and hit the basilisk's fangs, stabbing himself to death.

But Luna said that this was the fact. He was unconscious at the time and didn't know the truth, so he couldn't refute it.

Ron also echoed:

"Lockhart can't even use a levitation spell properly, how could he possibly defeat the basilisk? And he even destroyed Voldemort's... Horcrux. This is ridiculous!"

He had the same feeling and felt that this scene was very familiar.

Arrived, fell unconscious, woke up, ended.

"Don't think so much, both of you."

Hermione said calmly.
