Chapter 131
“I heard from Professor Flitwick that your Legilimency is very strong. You can even read the memory of a contracted house-elf, so Lockhart is no problem.” Harry gave a suggestion.
Dumbledore shook his head and said,”Actually, I have already used it.”
Harry asked quickly,”What did you see?”
Dumbledore sighed and said slowly,”The stories in his works are all true, but the protagonists in them are not him.”
“He is just a thief who steals other people’s experiences and then uses the forgetfulness spell to make others lose their memories.”
“It seems that Professor Snape is right to be hated, and his character is indeed terrible.”Harry commented expressionlessly
“Humph.” Snape snorted coldly. What does it have to do with him?
“But I have no memory of him touching anything of Voldemort’s.” Dumbledore said
“If someone is hit by the Forgotten Charm, can Legilimency read the regretted memory?”Harry suddenly asked. Dumbledore was stunned and shook his head:”Of course not.”
The people present quickly understood what Harry meant.
“You mean, Lockhart cast a forgetfulness spell on himself?” McGonagall asked seriously.
“Maybe he doesn’t even know what happened.” Harry twitched his lips,”Just like Ginny”
“Veritaserum?” Harry looked at Snape.
“This kind of thing, even a troll can think of it, there is no need to say, I used it on him after you checked it.” Snape said with a sneer.
Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise:”Severus, you didn’t tell me when this happened?”
“When you are entangled by the Ministry of Magic!”Snape did not hide anything and said directly:”If I tell you, your procrastinating and weak character will definitely stop me.”
When the Ministry of Magic came to Hogwarts, he openly used the potion that was publicly banned by the Ministry of Magic on a professor in Hogwarts. It was a blatant provocation to the officials of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Outlaw
“How is the effect? “Harry thought so in his heart, but he asked about the effect.
“It’s useless. Although the truth serum is very effective, it is just a magic potion, not a panacea.”
“As long as there is a superb confidentiality spell, no relevant questions can be asked.”
Dumbledore took off his glasses, put them in his hand, picked up a cleaning cloth and wiped them:”You can trust me completely, it’s just a truth serum. When it comes to the safety of the students, I can accept any violent means. Last night, I monitored his office and I know everything he did.”
Harry looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and felt that Hogwarts did not seem to be as upright as the rumors said.
It seems that Durmstrang can openly study the dark arts, and its reputation is a bit bad.
But in fact, here there is truth serum torture and 24-hour magical monitoring.
It’s not much different.
“There was no diary of Tom in his office, only occasional soliloquy.”Dumbledore said
“Talking to himself? Quirrell?”Harry grasped the key words sharply.
At first Quirrell was also talking to himself, but in fact he was communicating with the snake face hiding behind his head.
“I thought so too, but you didn’t react, did you?”Dumbledore looked at Harry and asked.
Harry nodded hesitantly:”Indeed, there was no reaction when I got close to him.”
“But in this case, let’s just expel him as I said.” Harry once again put forward his correct opinion,”As long as Voldemort is with him, then he leaves the school, and Voldemort can no longer carry out any conspiracy.”
“I agree!” Professor McGonagall was the first to express her support for Harry’s idea.
“Even if he doesn’t have anything dangerous on him, this bad guy must be expelled from the school. Hogwarts students cannot let such a professor teach them!”
“I have experienced so many professors, but I have never seen a professor like him who is so close to his students, and not just one of them…….”Professor McGonagall’s lips were trembling as she spoke, proving that she was very angry.
“He has absolutely no ability or morality to be a professor!”Professor McGonagall said with gritted teeth.
Dumbledore nodded and put his glasses back on. After wiping them, they reflected a white light.
“Since the vice-president said so”He looked at Snape.
“Agree.” Snape nodded slightly and said concisely.
“Filius and Sprout have also told me about Lockhart’s problem, and I don’t think they will have any objections. Since the four deans have expressed this, as the headmaster, I should respect your decision.”Dumbledore nodded and said.
He waved his hand, and the feather pen on the table started writing automatically.
After writing, the parchment automatically flew out of the office.
Lockhart hadn’t rested yet.
He was standing in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror with fascination. There was a faint red lip mark on his right cheek, but his eyes were a little blurry.
“”Oh, Gilderoy, you are so handsome.” Lockhart stroked his face in the mirror.
“Who should I go to tomorrow? Judy, she has two big white rabbits.”Lockhart walked back to his desk, picked up the parchment, and wanted to write a cheesy love letter. These girls like this kind of fancy things the most. By the way, he also attached the expensive magic perfume bought from Diagon Alley.
At this time, a piece of parchment flew over quickly and stuck to his face.
“Who is it?”Lockhart angrily took the paper off his face. He thought someone was playing a prank on him again.
But when he saw the content on the paper, his face turned pale.
“He found out. I always said Dumbledore would find out! He is the most powerful wizard!”
Lockhart stamped his feet in the office impatiently.
“You won’t notice? Really?”
“Don’t lie to me, or I will die miserably.”
Lockhart said to himself, and walked out of his office.
But just as he took one step, he confirmed again:”Will I really not be discovered?”
“Don’t be angry, I don’t doubt your ability, I’ll go now, I’ll go now!” Lockhart’s tone became panic.
He ran towards Dumbledore’s office.
Opening the door of the office, Lockhart seemed a little out of breath.
“Gilderoy, thank you for coming all the way here.” Dumbledore waved at him and motioned him to sit down.
Lockhart took a long breath, calmed his breath and his pounding heart, and saw that Dumbledore had a gentle expression and did not attack him immediately, so he relaxed a little.
It shouldn’t be a big deal, maybe I need to come forward and solve the problem of the Chamber of Secrets?
