Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Of course Tiera didn't think that Dumbledore was interested in Gilderoy Lockhart, but——

Tiera asked the "Inheriter" in Gilderoy Lockhart to try his best to hide himself.

After Dumbledore talked with Gilderoy Lockhart for a few words, he didn't seem to find anything. Under the strong hint from McGonagall's eyes, he had no choice but to turn his head back silently and began to enjoy the dessert in front of him.

After the Christmas dinner, it was time for crazy fun. Even Tiera briefly put down her books except for Tom Riddle, and followed Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Weasley twins at Hogwarts.

Jumping up and down inside the ancient castle.

Perhaps because Dumbledore's sudden conversation that night frightened Tom Riddle, he followed Gilderoy Lockhart and left Hogwarts the day after the Christmas dinner——

First, the ritual of summoning Yog-Sothoth requires some materials, and neither Tom Riddle nor Tiera are confident in purchasing these materials through owls and letters.

Secondly, Tom Riddle, who was tortured to the point of collapse by Gilderoy Lockhart’s learning speed, was about to give Lockhart a strong dose of medicine——

As an all-round master of spells, black magic, alchemy, potions, and transfiguration, Tom Riddle intended to invent a potion when he was in power to improve those who followed him but were stupid because of incest marriage.

In order to create a truly invincible army with the wizard's talent, IQ and strength, Tom Riddle, or Voldemort invented a magic potion, which has not yet been named, because he only works with Bellatrix.

Strange was experimented on once and was left physically and mentally disabled by Lily Evans's protection of minors law.

The effect of this potion is quite significant. Bellatrix's talent has indeed become much higher. Before that, she was just an innocent, kind-hearted and somewhat silly girl who couldn't even use the Imperius Curse.

.

But after drinking Voldemort's potion, my waist no longer hurts and my legs no longer hurt. I can perform the forbidden spells one after another, but at the same time, I have gone crazy.

Tiera wasn't sure whether this was the effect of the potion or the result of Bellatrix using too many forbidden spells.

But what does this have to do with me?

Anyway, Gilderoy Lockhart is just a tool, as long as he can be used.

Time quickly advanced to the morning of Christmas Eve, and the mighty little wizard carried his luggage and boarded the train home.

"Goodbye! Ron, bye! Hermione, bye!" Harry and Tiera stood on the train platform and watched their friends go away. It wasn't until the train completely disappeared from their sight that Harry and Tiera put down their waving glasses.

arm.

Just like last year, two little wizards without a home cuddled together in the cold snowy weather and embarked on the rugged mountain road back to Hogwarts Castle.

The Christmas Eve dinner at Hogwarts that night was a bit deserted. Apart from most of the teachers, only a few young wizards stayed. Most of them were senior students who stayed in the school to prepare for the N.E.W.T. exams and O.W.LS exams.

The young wizards in the lower grades were eager to rush home and tell their families about the various embarrassing things that happened to the famous Gilderoy Lockhart during his time at Hogwarts.

"Oh, my God." When Dumbledore appeared that night, he glanced at the Great Hall and found that there were only a few people sitting on the four long tables. Dumbledore sighed and waved his wand.

The five plates filled with fruits, vegetables, beef, cakes and cheese placed on his seat floated gently, and followed Dumbledore to the Gryffindor long table——

Dumbledore sat down next to Tiera.

"There are really too few people at Christmas this year." Dumbledore placed five plates on the table, and then waved to the professors on the teacher's bench, "Come on, everyone, sit down and gather together.

It’s lively, isn’t it?”

As he spoke, Dumbledore put his hand on Tiera's head——

Tiera's body froze, and her Occlumency and mental walls were operating to the extreme——

But to Tiera's surprise, he didn't feel any mental impact or prying eyes.

Dumbledore gently touched Tiera's head like an ordinary old man looking after his grandson.

This touch made Tiera even more uncomfortable.

"Mr... principal?" Tiera asked uncertainly.

"Nothing Tiera, I just came to see our talented little wizard-" Dumbledore said with a smile.

With Dumbledore taking the lead, the other teachers, although reluctant -

Yes, that's Snape.

Although Snape was reluctant, most of the teachers, especially Dumbledore, did so, so Snape had no choice but to sit at the Slytherin table.

"So, tell me, Tiera." Dumbledore handed Tiera an egg tart and asked, "How was your semester? Did you encounter anything interesting?"

"Uh... no, principal..." Tiera pretended to think for a while and then said, "Does Professor Gilderoy Lockhart count? I think Professor Gilderoy Lockhart is very interesting."

"So that's why you gave him the gift?" Dumbledore asked.

"Oh, you said that brooch! Yes." Tiera said, "That's a magic item I made myself. On it..."

"Oh, um, right." Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table while listening to Tiera talking about how to make the brooch——

Tiera omitted the "Seal of the Old God" part and the "Spiritual Wall" part, leaving only the outermost part of the awakening spell——

And deliberately starting from how she first learned how to make magic items, Tiera acted like an innocent child, chatting a little bit with Dumbledore, hoping to feel like after finishing this dinner——

"Excellent, Tiera." After Tiera finally stopped talking, Dumbledore praised, "There are very few people who can learn how to make magic items at your age."

"I also heard Hagrid say that you like magical animals very much." Dumbledore asked again with a smile.

"Well, yes, yes, watching them grow and reproduce makes people feel very satisfied." Tiera answered.

"Very good, I see your reverence for life." Dumbledore said, "Please forgive me for being an old man, but I have recently... I have been hearing some strange noises when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

like this--"

Dumbledore's voice suddenly became hoarse——

"Tiera...I'm hungry...(Parseltongue)"

Harry almost instinctively stopped the food in his hand.

Tiera couldn't help but stiffen.
