The breath of death was overwhelming him. Lucius froze instantly, his pupils dilated, and cold sweat broke out.

Hermione's voice sounded faintly, but with unquestionable intimidation: "I don't like people pointing wands at me."

"My Avada Kedavra spell is not well practiced, so my aim was not very good this time, but I am not sure about it next time."

Feeling this extraordinary sense of oppression, Lucius dared not move. He had no doubt that Hermione really dared to kill him.

Hermione looked at Lucius's stiff appearance, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and pointed to the sofa opposite.

"Lucius, please sit down."

Lucius sat down mechanically.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and stared at Hermione:

"You...if I tell you the whereabouts of those dark wizards and Death Eaters, will Lockhart...testify for Draco?"

Hermione nodded, the curve of her mouth widening.

"Not just Lockhart, but Harry Potter as well."

Lucius was stunned, first he breathed a sigh of relief, then his face turned bitter.

He has always looked down on Harry Potter, thinking that he is just a lucky "savior" who got a good reputation for nothing.

But now, his son's fate has to be saved by this good reputation.

Lucius felt mixed emotions. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it just turned into a sigh.

"Those people...are not easy to mess with."

He paused and glanced at Lockhart, who was standing beside him and looking indifferent.

"Lockhart... may not be their opponent."

Hermione shrugged, looking relieved.

"That's not what you need to think about."

Lucius completely lost his temper and slumped down on the sofa, completely giving up resistance.

"Okay...I promise you."

He originally wanted to use the diary and Ginny to stir up some trouble in Hogwarts and disgust Dumbledore at the same time.

Unexpectedly, he was tricked by Hermione and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

Chapter 116 It must have been Voldemort who did it!

Now, even if Lucius revealed the whole truth, no one would believe it.

Lockhart and Hermione, a "hero professor" and a "genius girl", no one would believe him as a "suspected former Death Eater".

What's more, even if someone believed it, he couldn't explain how the diary came to be in his hands and why he gave it to Ginny.

Doing so is basically equivalent to self-destruction.

Seeing Lucius surrender, Hermione nodded.

Ginny got rid of the entanglement of the diary, Lockhart gained fame and future, Harry was cleared of the suspicion of harming his classmates with his Parseltongue, and Draco got the honor of being officially certified as the heir of Slytherin.

We all have a bright future, don't we?

From this perspective, she is really a kind and good person.

……

The truth about the petrification incident was revealed, and the next day, Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts at the strong request of the board of directors.

Hermione pushed open the door of the headmaster's office and saw Dumbledore at a glance.

He was sitting at his desk, staring deeply at the destroyed diary on the table.

The cover of the diary was charred and pierced in the middle by a sharp weapon, leaving shocking holes.

Hermione looked at the Horcrux for a moment, her eyes moving slightly.

After a long time, he suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the principal's office.

"Good morning, and welcome back, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore looked up and smiled.

"Good morning, Miss Granger."

He pointed at the torn diary on the table.

"I think you recognize this."

Hermione walked closer, picked up the diary and looked at it more closely.

"It's a Horcrux."

Her voice was calm, without any surprise, as if she was saying that it was a nice day today.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised by Hermione's judgment.

"There are fragments of Voldemort's soul left on it, as well as an uncomfortable evil smell."

His deep blue eyes flashed with wisdom behind the lenses.

"It seems that we have all underestimated Professor Lockhart."

Dumbledore said slowly.

"He is not only courageous and intelligent, but his magical abilities are also far beyond our expectations."

"He was able to defeat young Voldemort and Slytherin's basilisk all by himself."

"What's even more surprising is that he can even brew the Mandrake compound potion. You know, he knew nothing about it just a few days ago."

Dumbledore paused and turned his gaze to Hermione.

"It's just that I don't understand why we should let Lockhart be the hero?"

Hermione shrugged, unsurprised.

As expected, Dumbledore had guessed that it was she who defeated the basilisk and destroyed the Horcrux.

"Headmaster, you know this is the second time I have ruined Voldemort's plan and destroyed his Horcruxes. I don't want to be targeted by some guy hiding in the dark every day."

"Let Professor Lockhart take the spotlight for me."

"Besides, doesn't he enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight?"

A question suddenly occurred to Hermione.

It was supposed to be a battle of wits and courage between Harry Potter and Voldemort, but how come it all became her job?

As soon as she started to stir the pot, the series immediately became: "Voldemort and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Death of Voldemort", "Voldemort and the Chamber of Secrets: Voldemort Surrenders".

Following this trend, will there be more "Voldemort and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Voldemort is really convinced", "Voldemort and the Goblet of Fire: Voldemort is finally resurrected", "Voldemort and the Order of the Phoenix: Voldemort dies again", "Voldemort and the Half-Blood Prince: Voldemort dies again and again", "Voldemort and the Deathly Hallows: Voldemort sits up"...

Dumbledore watched Hermione's daydreaming self and could of course tell that Hermione was not telling the truth.

However, this is not important.

As long as the result is good, he doesn't care about the process.

The most important thing is that the Horcrux was indeed destroyed, and this is an indisputable fact.

He suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, the Forbidden Forest suddenly turned out of season a few days ago, and it inexplicably turned into a world of ice and snow. From now on, the production of the Acromantula venom at Hogwarts will have to be reduced by half. Do you have any clues?"

Hermione came back to her senses, blinked, looked innocent, and said indignantly:

"It must be Voldemort's doing. Damn Voldemort, he even didn't let the little spider go!"

Dumbledore: "..."

……

In the following days, Hogwarts returned to its former tranquility.

Because the Chamber of Secrets incident was instigated by Hermione, it happened much earlier.

The truth that was originally not discovered until the end of the school year ended soon after the start of the school year.

Adhering to the principle that there should only be one crisis per year at Hogwarts, everyone spent the rest of the school year smoothly without any incidents.

Hermione was peacefully practicing magic, alchemy, growing vegetables and raising animals in the ballroom.

Lockhart continued to serve as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Hermione also served as his assistant.

She did not let Lockhart apply directly at the Ministry of Magic, mainly because she was not sure if Lockhart resigned early and the professor position became vacant, then the big curse would fall directly on her head.

Let's just let Lockhart serve a full year first.

Where there is a ball there must be a hard house.

"Boom - boom -"

The sound of explosions from the clashing spells was endless, and lights of various colors flashed, interweaving and colliding in mid-air.

The two figures were as fast as ghosts, constantly changing positions, waving their wands and casting spells accurately at each other.

"Avada eats the big melon!"

Voldemort seized an opening, flashed his wand with a green light, and headed straight for Hermione.

Hermione was careless and was hit in the chest by the green light.

However, the next second, the figure of "Hermione" gradually shattered and disappeared into the air.

"Oh no, it's an illusion!"

Xiao Fu was shocked and realized that he had been tricked.

Just as he was about to turn around, a figure appeared silently behind him.

The next second, the back of his neck was pressed against the magic wand.

Xiao Fu sighed, a little depressed: "You win again."

"You dare to take advantage of me... Do you really want to kill me and avenge me?" Hermione's voice came from behind, with a hint of danger.

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Fu asked back.

"Hehe." Hermione put away her wand.

Although she said she was immune to big bites, she had never demonstrated it, but he dared to experiment directly.

"You only know how to eat big melons, right? Nothing else?" Hermione glanced at him.

"The Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse work, but they can't kill people." Xiao Fu said as a matter of course.

That's right, the two were conducting actual combat training.

After this period of recovery, Xiao Fu has almost returned to his peak state at the age of sixteen.

On weekdays, in addition to developing applications for the Dark Arts, he spent most of his time conducting practical exercises with Hermione.

Every time, Hermione controlled her magic to a level similar to that of Voldemort.

Xiao Fu is currently the only one who can fight with Hermione with equal strength.

After all, he is the young Voldemort, and his talent is there.

Almost never won though.

Chapter 117: The Cosmic Cube is Lost

"Next time, wait until I recover. I will definitely beat you next time." Xiao Fu said hatefully.

Although he never admitted it, he had to admit that Hermione's talent was far superior to his.

How could there be such a monster in this world?

Xiao Fu was very depressed.

He had never seen a wizard like Hermione.

The dark magic he had worked so hard to develop, Hermione was able to master it completely with just one look, it was like copying and pasting.
