Hermione, Be the Minister of Magic with Me!

In the exclamations of Hermione and Ron, the Basilisk quickly approached Harry, and showed its fangs, and Harry felt that he could even smell the earthy smell in its mouth.

However, at this moment, Harry suddenly found that his body could move again.

Not only was he able to move, but in addition to the silver Gryffindor sword in his hand, there was a silver shield in his left hand at some point.

He immediately shrank his head without thinking, and raised his shield with his left hand.

The basilisk's fangs hit the surface of the silver shield heavily, making a crisp "ding" sound.

When Voldemort saw this scene, his pupils could not help shrinking by two points.

"Athena's silver shield? How could you have this?"

You must know that although he has long judged the type of the monster in the secret room based on the records, but he has been afraid to enter the secret room because he is worried that the basilisk will be difficult to control.

Voldemort was actually a coward - but few people knew it, because they were all intimidated by his outward power and bravado.

It was not until a young wizard from a pure blood family in Slytherin expressed his allegiance to him that he dared to try to open the secret room, because this wizard family treasured an ancient silver shield that could purify and resist almost all black magic.

The Slytherin wizard boasted that it was the silver shield that Athena had bestowed on the hero Perseus, and that he used its reflected light to locate Medusa and kill her

of.

Although Voldemort did not believe in this myth, the effect of the shield was as the wizard said, and almost no spells could work on it, including several of the most ruthless spells that Voldemort knew at the time.

He finally accepted the silver shield and opened the secret room with it.

Although it was later proved that the basilisk was very close to him, he didn't actually need that shield, but the silver shield still became one of Voldemort's collections, just because it could drive away the relationship between black magic, so Voldemort vaguely rejected it. I don't like to use it.

It was not until the battle of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, when Voldemort faced Dumbledore ("Order of the Phoenix" plot), that he had to use this silver shield again.

At that time, Dumbledore issued a spell that made Harry "feel creepy" at a glance. Voldemort summoned this silver shield in a hurry, used it to block Dumbledore's spell, and made a duang sound. bang.

No matter what other abilities are, just based on the fact that it can block the spells of legendary mages, at least the Slytherin wizard family has not collected fakes.

Harry actually has such a silver shield in his hand, which is really beyond Voldemort's expectations.

It seems that Athena, heroes, Medusa, etc., are just one of the stories made up by the fairies to sell goods. There are many silver weapons in the hands of fairies.

Although Harry didn't know why he was suddenly able to move, and there was such a silver shield in his hand, the Lion House's characteristic was that his body moved faster than his brain, so after blocking the attack of the basilisk, he said nothing. The silver sword of Gryffindor raised in the right hand was a stab.

Before the basilisk could react, his head was pierced by the indestructible sword. The sword pierced from the upper gourd and emerged from the top of the head, and even the skull could not avoid the fate of being pierced, even if Harry's strength was not very strong.

The basilisk suddenly let out a painful roar, but no one except Harry and Voldemort could understand what it shouted.

Tom Riddle raised his wand quickly, trying to use a healing spell to help the basilisk.

But a wand appeared out of nowhere and rested against his pocket.

"Extelepathic! Lockhart yelled.

The cursed Tom Riddle remnant trembled, and before he realized anything, the remnant flashed violently a few times like a holographic image with poor signal, and then disappeared.

Seeing that the spell was successful, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he came in, he has been quietly hiding not far from Riddle, even if Harry and the others are already in a very bad situation, he has been holding back his hand, and finally waited until the Basilisk left Riddle's side. .

Sneak up behind the opponent when the opponent is not defending, and then sneak attack with a spell-because this job Gilderoy Lockhart is too familiar to do, so the body even develops muscle memory.

However, compared to those open-mouthed witches and old Armenian wizards, the target of Lockhart's sneak attack was much more prominent. Even if this is just a piece of Voldemort's soul, even if it is just a memory left by him when he was sixteen, Lockhart still feels great satisfaction that the sneak attack was successful.

Fox wouldn't let go of this good opportunity, especially when the basilisk's eyes were pecked out, the upper gourd was pierced, and Voldemort's command was lost. If he didn't do it at this time, he was obviously ashamed of being a bird of prey. instinct.

It beat down the water snake, and it pecked at the back of the opponent's neck. Looking at the posture, it seemed that it would not stop until the basilisk was pecked into flesh.

And Lockhart picked up the diary on the ground after Voldemort's remnant disappeared.

It's useless to sneak attack on this piece of spirit, because the 16-year-old Voldemort's body is the diary. Even if it is scattered, it will only damage some vitality. If you want to sneak attack, you can only sneak into the diary.

He'd been looking for where Tom Riddle had put the diary, and even sneaked through Ginny's pocket while they were fighting, but couldn't find it.

It was not until the end that he confirmed that, just as the lich likes to keep the phylactery in his own dimensional bag, the current Tom Riddle also hides it in the pocket of his spiritual body.

Because when Ron and Harry released ranged magic several times, Tom Riddle would subconsciously block his pockets.

Oh, young man.

No matter who it is, it seems that Lockhart suddenly appeared at this time. The strange took it away.

But that doesn't matter because it's over now.

Looking at the still struggling basilisk, Lockhart put the diary in his pocket and clicked it lazily with his wand.

The basilisk who has lost his eyes can still find people by smell, and he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

"The table is summoned!"

He summoned the Slytherin table in the Hogwarts Great Hall with the Summoning Charm and pressed it on the Basilisk.

No way, who made him have only part of the authority of his own office and auditorium, his own desk is not so heavy. And if the people in the Snake House knew that their table had overrun a snake, they would probably be grateful to themselves, right?

Then, he turned to the stunned trio.

"The journey is over, children! You have violated at least 100 school rules this time. If you hurry up and apologize to the principal, you may still be able to stay at the school."

Chapter 105 The best way to eliminate fear is to be funny

Until the head of the basilisk was pecked to pieces by Fox, and Lockhart looked down to check the corpse of the basilisk, the three saviors woke up like a dream.

"Professor Lockhart? Is that you?" Harry asked cautiously.

"Of course it's me." Lockhart didn't look back. "I'm a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"You... how come you are here now?"

"The school students have something to do, of course I want to come and see... Or do you think I can't see the hole as big as the bathroom?"

Harry looked a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean that..."

Just as the two of them were talking, Ron had taken three steps and two steps to see how his sister was, while Hermione was touching her temple, looking a little confused.

Lockhart knew that his oblivion spell had been triggered, so Hermione should have remembered something.

The flood of information that suddenly poured into her mind should keep Hermione quiet for a while, and Lockhart thought it would be better to wait until she figured out the situation before apologizing.

The most urgent task now is to let Harry destroy the diary himself.

This step wasn't difficult, and when Ron went to check on Ginny and found that her condition was still getting worse, getting Harry to destroy the diary became a very simple task.

Next, as long as you tell them, destroying this diary will bring Ginny's vitality back, so I believe that Harry and Ron will use this Gryffindor sword that has been quenched with basilisk venom to cut the diary into pieces The shredding effect cannot be achieved by paper machines.

Just as Lockhart was about to hand over the diary to Harry, deep in his heart,

But came a voice.

"Wait a minute! You may not know it yet, but now you have a better option than handing over your diary, and it will be your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The voice is of course Tom Riddle's.

Lockhart was amazed at the vitality of this diary—even though he had imprisoned this piece of soul with his own magic, this piece of soul could still talk to himself through his own magic resonance.

"Oh? Mr. Riddle, what do you want to say to me?"

"That little girl wrote a lot of things in the diary, and I know a lot because of it. In addition to my current situation, I also learned some of your past. You want power, right?"

Probably knowing that the time is running out, Tom Riddle didn't talk about those idle things, but cut directly to the subject.

"Ah, power!" Lockhart sighed, "that's a good thing, with it, wealth and status will be at your fingertips, and the best resources in society will always be open to you, even building order and manipulating the fate of others. It's not a problem, everyone needs to look up to me... You say, who doesn't want power?"

As soon as Riddle heard the drama, his tone became a little hurried:

"Then you should know that Dumbledore can't give you these, on the contrary, he will try to prevent you from getting them, as will his followers."

Lockhart actually agreed with him: "You are right, he will only help you to a certain extent, but as long as you cross that line, how much Dumbledore once supported you, and how much he will suppress you at that time. It's just as big - if not harder."

Han Jinyi said that you now face a perfect opportunity. "Riddle's voice is full of delusions," "think about it, you are a big hero now, no one will suspect that you have anything to do with that little girl's death, you just need to go back and say to the principal, you

It's too late to save the little girl's life, they won't blame you, they'll just think it's excusable. "

"Well...but what good is this for me?" Lockhart asked quietly.

Makeup? what! Don't you know that there is only one person who can give you great power? The only real power that can ignore all objections is Might! Only the ultimate black magic can make everyone fear, as "The King" says, "If you can't have both love and fear, the latter is better."

"But I don't see any connection between the ability to save you and the person whose name can't be mentioned." Lockhart tried his best to make the voice in his heart seem uninterested.

"As long as you find him and give him this diary with his memory. You will get what you want, you don't understand the importance of this diary to him at all... Ah, almost forgot Tell you, my name—"

In Lockhart's mind, a line of words suddenly appeared like this:

TmoMarvloRiddle

Subsequently, the letter i was moved to the front and became capitalized, as was the L in le, and his surname was reorganized, eventually becoming IamLrdVldemrt (I am Lord Voldemort).

"Voldemort is my future, I am Voldemort's past... Think about it, if you return this diary to him, when he regains power, what kind of power and honor will you gain?"

Seeing that Lockhart did not speak, Riddle felt that he was about to succeed, so he increased his tone and asked Lockhart to make up his mind immediately.

"Does this still require thinking and weighing? The two sides of the scale are completely unequal things! It's time to make a decision, in the end, whether to be confused for a lifetime, to be the puppet and microphone of the old bee, or to sit high and be under the one person There are more than 10,000 people. You just have to deal with them, and then take a day off and go out with a diary

But he was interrupted by Lockhart.

"Ah, sorry, the reason I didn't speak just now was because I suddenly thought of something."

Voldemort didn't expect Lockhart to desert, but for the safety of his own soul: he still had to be patient and continue to support Lockhart.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"An old stalk, I remember seeing it on the forum before... Look, your name can still be grouped like this one by one"

Lockhart dismissed the sentence "1amLrdVldemrt55 hastily in his heart, making it aTmoMarvloRiddle" again.

Afterwards, he took out the M and " in the middle of Marvel, put it in the front, became Mr (Mr.), put Tm in the back, and finally dismantled and reorganized all the parts in the back, and finally became a new line. Character.

—aMrTm,adildlver (Mr Tom, a fake **** lover)”

Just like a KTV private room with a sudden power outage, Tom Riddle suddenly went silent.

After a long time, his voice reappeared in Lockhart's mind: "It seems that you are determined to be my enemy, don't you? I didn't expect you to be so courageous?"

"courage?"

"Yeah, you should know that when he learned that you destroyed his diary, he

What will it do to you in the future? Trust me, death is definitely not your best

ending.

"Yo! Did you start coercion if the temptation didn't work? It seems that you are only half-assed." Lockhart said mockingly, "Did you forget the aftermath of "The King"?

half? "If a king wants to be feared, he should do what he says, and if he can't be loved, don't be hated.' Got it, Mr. Tom?"

"You're not afraid of me?" Riddle's voice was full of exasperation.

"If your eloquence and political common sense were better, I might be, but your performance just now disappointed me a little. It's like... how to say... a primary school student said to a graduate student studying the Riemann curve, after I learned the four arithmetic operations , I'll teach you how to make missiles."

But Riedel obviously couldn't listen, and he didn't know what a Riemann curve was.

"Don't think you've won, it's not over yet, sooner or later you'll pay for it!" he growled.

"Shut up, Mr. Fake Tintin Lover," Lockhart replied. "Besides, I'll teach you the most basic common sense in politics. I don't think you're so stupid that you don't even understand this truth."

Riddle did not reply, and it seemed that he had given up on continuing the conversation with Lockhart.

But Lockhart had to say it anyway.

"What is "under one person, above ten thousand"? "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? In the process of chasing supreme power, no one but yourself will ever want to get involved... Unless that person is your wife, understand, little Tom?"

After all, he increased the strength of the mind block and pressed the opponent's consciousness back into the diary.

Consciousness returned to the outside, and Lockhart found that although the two had been talking in their minds for a long time, it seemed that only a few seconds had passed outside.

After pretending to check Ginny's situation, Lockhart took out Riddle's diary and handed it to the trio.

"Looks like we'll have to destroy this diary to get Miss Weasley back

When she woke up, her life force was sucked away by it. "

"I'm coming!" Ron came up immediately, "What should we do?" Lockhart pointed to the basilisk's body over there.

"From the nearest source... Gryffindor's sword, the basilisk's fangs, or directly dissolve it with venom, which one do you choose?"

Harry and Ron said in unison: "Do it all again!"
