"The wizard who created the pensieve is really a genius. There are only a few rules runes in the magic text used, but it is just right to make it have the desired effect..."

On the top of the mountain, a bright silver light continuously circulates in the rune pattern carved by Maka, sending out tight ripples in circles until it spreads to the entire valley.

Maka squatted half-crouched in the center of the formation, continuing to send magic power to the formation. He kept breathing deeply, and large beads of sweat slipped quietly from his forehead and dripped silently from his chin.

The principle of the pensieve is not complicated, even Maka can understand it now; and it is not impossible for Maka to draw a set of rune arrays to increase the scope of action.

However, it would consume quite a lot of magic power to spread its effect to the entire valley.

Nowadays, Maka, who is trying to master more rule runes as quickly as possible, will always look for every opportunity to conduct his research and practice, even in today's plan.

"...There are three more scenes, support it a little more... support it a little more..."

While paying attention to not interrupting the magic power transmission, you also have to replace the modified memory fragments in the pensieve. It is impossible to say that it is not laborious.

but……

He raised his head and looked towards the valley that was completely covered by dark gray clouds, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly curve.

The effect of the Pensieve combined with the mist containing hallucinogenic ingredients is enough to trap all the wizards in this valley.

For those viewers, it is of course an extremely novel experience, as if they are watching a holographic movie immersively.

And among these "guests", naturally included those Death Eaters who tried to attack this "audio-visual feast"!

The members of the Order of the Phoenix have all taken the magic potion he distributed in advance, and it is not a problem to refresh themselves. Unfortunately, they cannot experience this wonderful "all-dimensional three-dimensional movie" in person.

But instead, they will experience the thrill of catching all the unsuspecting Death Eaters.

In fact, Maka was also betting. He was not betting that Voldemort himself would not show up. Dumbledore wanted to stay at Hogwarts and it was impossible to come here. That guy must have aimed at this opportunity and showed up in person.

It's inevitable - but Maka bets that he won't show up early!

Maka, who had dealt with Voldemort several times, knew very well that the Dark Lord was not as irrational as she imagined!

Whether it was his various covert actions after returning or his escape during a tentative attack, it all showed that he was accurately calculating gains and losses.

It should be the same this time. Voldemort will definitely choose to appear at the best time to achieve the best shock effect.

For Maka, as long as Voldemort is still a "human", then his best method can work.

As long as we target the time gap between the Death Eaters' actions and the appearance of Voldemort himself, we can cut off a large part of Voldemort's followers to force Voldemort to keep a low profile again and buy him more buffer time.

It's just that this time, he will probably officially stand against Voldemort. If Voldemort appears for a while, and then he and Lockhart perform a scene together, today's plan can be considered successfully completed.

"...Now I hope...the guests can have a good time."

After picking out the memory fragments in the Pensieve, and then putting the next paragraph into it, Maka stirred the basin with her wand and murmured to herself.

This personal audio-visual session was created by combining and modifying the memories of Maka and Lockhart during the Chamber of Secrets incident in their second year.

In the Slytherin Chamber of Hogwarts Castle, he defeated Tom Riddle in the diary and successfully killed the Basilisk. Such an exciting adventure will surely excite all viewers.

And when Voldemort, who still looks like Tom Riddle, suddenly appears on the scene and causes a commotion, tonight's main event begins!

But even Maka didn't know that in the valley at this moment, there was a maverick "big girl" who was not interested in the main story he set.

The girl named Tia's focus is always on Professor Snape in their memory.

…

"...What's going on? This man...looks so scary...but why would I treat him..."

Tia was currently in the crowded auditorium of Hogwarts Castle. She was standing not far behind Snape, staring blankly at his back with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me... Great!"

"That's right, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day, using the method I have used countless times..."

Lockhart narrated "passionately" on the long stage, showing the personal charm that Maka needed him to show. But no matter how much he talked, Tia's eyes were always fixed on Snape's back.

superior.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape!" He said to Snape at the bottom of the stage. "He told me that he himself knew a thing or two about dueling, and he graciously agreed.

, help me give a small demonstration before class."

"I said, I don't want you little guys to worry - after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions Master intact to you, don't be afraid -"

Snape moved. He separated from the crowd and took a step forward. Only then did Tia notice that behind him was a young man who looked equally indifferent.

That was Maka, who was still in a state of emotional loss at that time.

"Let me tell you," Snape suddenly interrupted, "I do know a thing or two about dueling, but I'm not the one who wants to give you a demonstration today -"

He took a step to the side, revealed the person behind him, and said with a sneer.

"……It's him."

In the subsequent battle, Maka did not reveal her original memory, but instead molded Lockhart into a strong and good teacher who loved her students.

He cared about Maka McClain, who was a student, and taught her through words and deeds. Even during the duel, he often took the time to give detailed explanations to the students in the audience.

Of course, he will also show off his "superior" magic level in the end.

This is a complete star-making movement in the wizarding world, and in this movie, Gilderoy Lockhart is the protagonist.

I believe that after this grand event, Lockhart will become one of the spiritual pillars of the British wizarding community and gain unprecedented popularity.

But Tia doesn't care about this. She doesn't care about how charming Lockhart is, nor how powerful Lockhart is.

All she cared about was this man named Severus Snape.

"...why...why I can't look away...who...is he?"

Time passed slowly, sometimes Snape could be seen, sometimes not. The scenes were changing again and again, and the pace of the story about the Chamber of Secrets, the Basilisk and Tom Riddle's diary was also constantly accelerating.

, the audience even became nervous involuntarily.

The young wizards at Hogwarts and the Boy Who Lived were all suffering, but Lockhart still calmly encouraged them and worked tirelessly to investigate the truth of the Chamber of Secrets incident.

Oh! What a great man! The students of Hogwarts are also very strong, and Hogwarts itself is also a magic school full of "love"!

Perhaps, more parents will choose to send their children to Hogwarts in the coming year, right?

"Ginny!"

The plot had already progressed to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley both yelled and quickly ran to the red-haired girl lying on the ground dying.

"Ginny! Oh - you don't want to die! Please -"

Ron threw down his wand, then grabbed Ginny's shoulders and tried to turn her over. Harry also put his wand aside and helped him.

At this moment, Ginny's face was like marble, cold and bloodless, but her eyes were closed tightly, so she was not petrified.

"Ginny, wake up - please -" Ron begged in a low voice as he shook her desperately.

Seeing this, many slender and sensitive viewers couldn't help but have tears in their eyes - what a cute little girl! Is she okay?

But Tia stood aside absentmindedly, hesitating, waiting, hoping to see Snape's face again. She wanted to find a reason, a reason why she had a crush on that man.

But unfortunately, as Tom Riddle's identity was revealed, as the fierce and exciting battle ended, until the whole scene was blurred and she woke up from the chaos, the man did not appear again.

The "movie" was over, and when almost all the viewers were immersed in this wonderful story, Tia was the only one who felt lost.

She raised her head, subconsciously chewed the fries that still filled her mouth, and then looked around blankly, as if everything just now was just an extremely realistic dream.

No! That was not a dream!

Everyone was discussing the story just now, lamenting how interesting this unique "audio-visual session" tonight was, and praising Gilderoy Lockhart's strength and reliability.

Yes! Everyone has seen it, and it seems that many people know the character who appeared in that story, so that man must exist in this world!

Right there——

"Hogwarts."

Tia swallowed the food in her mouth in one gulp, then rubbed her mouth on her sleeve, and softly pronounced this word that she had only read in school books.
