Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Seeing Dumbledore's thoughtful expression, Tiera knew——

Lame, lame, Dumbledore is lame.

Tiera doesn't expect Dumbledore to believe everything, nor does she expect to be able to hide it from the centenarian old man. Tiera just needs to throw out a seemingly reasonable explanation before everyone comes up with a reasonable explanation, then everyone

His thoughts will be led astray by this reasonable explanation——

This is called a thinking misunderstanding. After you know something, it is difficult to return to the state you were in when you didn't know it.

Anyway, it is impossible for them to verify several lies in Tiera's explanation, not to mention that Tiera also presented two quite powerful arguments——

One is the Balrog attacking Hogwarts, and the other is the aberrant creatures in the waters of the Inner Hebrides.

I believe that once the Ministry of Magic officials finish dealing with the remaining mutated creatures in the waters of the Inner Hebrides, the credibility of Tiera's story will surely increase to another level.

After that, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Cornelius Fudge, Alastor Moody, Rufus Slingjack and Barty Crouch asked Tiera some more detailed questions, and Tiera answered them fluently.

When they really had nothing to ask, Tiera opened her mouth and said——

"Mr. Minister, and Mr. Principal." Tiera said, "I think I should be worthy of a Level 2 Medal of Sir Merlin, right?"

Cornelius Fudge glanced at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sighed and nodded and said, "I will write the application for you."

Seeing that Dumbledore agreed, Cornelius Fudge naturally had no objections. When he finally left, he shook hands with Lockhart cordially and even offered Gilderoy Lockhart an olive branch to work in the Ministry of Magic——

Show your true colors as a politician.

But Tiera politely refused.

Although Tiera now assumes the identity of "Gilderoy Lockhart", the actual "Gilderoy Lockhart" is just Tiera's "parasite".

Now Tiera's body is affected by the petrification curse and she is lying stiffly on the hospital bed. When Tiera recovers, if Gilderoy Lockhart goes to work at the Ministry of Magic and he himself goes to school at Hogwarts, at the same time

Controlling two bodies to carry out complex activities will distract oneself and cause Tiera to slow down the progress of some magic analysis. At such a high price, she only gained a little power in the Ministry of Magic. For Tiera,

To put it simply, the gains outweigh the losses.

Anyway, for Tiera, keeping his reputation as "Gilderoy Lockhart" is tantamount to grabbing the power he wants.

What's more, the "parasite" is still very useful to Tiera in the third year. The "parasite" needs to stay in Hogwarts for a long time, so naturally it is impossible for him to check in at the Ministry of Magic every day.

"Professor Lockhart, please stay for a moment."

Just as Tiera was about to leave the principal's office with the other teachers, Dumbledore suddenly stopped him.

Snape and Professor McGonagall looked at each other, then quickened their pace and left the room.

Tiera had no choice but to sigh and stay where she was——

He knows that the real battle begins now.

"Sit down, Professor Lockhart." Dumbledore waved his hand, and a chair flew over from the corner and stopped firmly opposite the table. At the same time, the teapot on the table automatically floated up towards an empty cup.

A pot of hot tea was poured inside.

Tiera had no choice but to sit on the chair carelessly.

"Drink a cup of tea." Dumbledore also poured himself a cup, and then took a sip, "Are you thirsty after talking for so long?"

"Don't tell me, it's quite a bit." Tiera picked up the tea cup and took a sip——

This tea is wrong!

Tiera could taste it in one bite. Tiera is now using the body of a "parasite", which is naturally different from her original body. Originally, many things that were colorless and tasteless to humans were in the body of the "parasite".

It made a huge difference in my eyes and tongue.

This tea is full of the flavor of truth serum.

Tiera took another sip of tea and said, "This tea is so fragrant."

Anyway, Veritaserum is useless against "parasites". Even if Tiera uses her original body and her mental wall, she can resist the effect of Veritaserum.

"Try another snack. You probably haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning." Dumbledore waved his hand again, and plates of biscuits, small cakes and egg tarts appeared on Dumbledore's desk.

"Indeed, I'm hungry too." Tiera picked up a piece and took a big bite——

Yes, it still smells like truth serum, so strong that it almost covers up the sweetness and fragrance of the cake itself.

When "Gilderoy Lockhart" had almost finished eating, Dumbledore's eyes exuded a strange power, and then he said:

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious." Tiera replied.

"Gilderoy...Lockhart, right?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I have read all your works." Dumbledore said, "Did you write all those stories?"

"I 'wrote' it all, I wrote it word by word in my own handwriting," Tiera said.

"Is the story also true?" Dumbledore asked again.

"Yes, it's true." Tiera said, "They are all things that really happened."

"Did this really happen to you?"

"Real..." Tiera's face suddenly became serious, her lips trembled slightly, she only said one word, and then she suddenly became lax.

"It seems that you are very resistant to answering this question." Dumbledore smiled, and the strange magic emanating from his eyes became more powerful.

"Then let's change the question. There are loopholes in the story you just told, right?" Dumbledore asked, "As the saying goes, the most perfect lie is made up of 70% truth and 30% lies.

So how much of Mr. Lockhart's story just now is true and how much is a lie?"

Tiera's lips moved slightly, but she remained silent.

"Well, let me ask another question." Dumbledore straightened his expression and said, "Our little wizard Tiera was controlled by Voldemort before she entered the first grade, right?"

Tiera pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Stolen the Philosopher's Stone from Hagrid's pocket on his way to school, right?"

Tiera still said nothing.

"During last summer vacation, Voldemort was apparently parasitizing Quirrell in order to obtain the fake Philosopher's Stone, but in reality he was trying to get Tiera to brew the elixir of immortality for him secretly, right?"

Tiera: "..."

"But the effect of the elixir was still not enough to completely resurrect Voldemort, so he started plotting his next plan, right?"

Tiera: "..."

"Everything was going well at first, but as you said, Voldemort didn't expect that Ravenclaw's crown would bring Tiera the power to resist, which made Tiera start to get close to you and reveal something to you...

...Things." Dumbledore looked at the still silent "Gilderoy Lockhart" through his half-moon glasses, smiled, and the power in his eyes suddenly burst out——

"But you didn't want to help him, on the contrary, you attacked him! Tiera's outstanding performance aroused the greed in your heart! You despicable, shameless, vicious robber! You ignored a poor child's cry for help.

!You are still dominated by your greed, and you have snatched the crown of Ravenclaw!" Dumbledore's hair and beard were spread out, like an angry lion.

Lame, lame, Dumbledore is completely lame!

Tiera was ecstatic inside.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be frightened, as if the last line of defense in his heart had been breached, as if he was panicking and fearful.
