Chapter 165 Reason

【Shock! Certified by Aurors! 'The Great Adventurer' Gilderoy Lockhart-----a liar]

[Gilderoy Lockhart was assassinated by a dark wizard at Hogwarts, and another Defense Against the Dark Arts professor died at Hogwarts]

[The dark wizard who killed the great liar Gilderoy Lockhart was killed by the third-year wizard Mr. Raven Nicholas Weasley in a one-on-one duel! 】

The Daily Prophet devoted an entire issue to reporting this matter in detail, of course, mainly covering Lockhart.

As for the dark wizard and Raven, they only occupy about 1/6 of the content, and the key character Neville is not mentioned at all.

But if you are interested, you will know after investigation that this powerful third-year wizard defeated the sixth-year wizard from Durmstrang some time ago.

The reason for the conflict between the two is the conflict of interests between Raven, as the major shareholder of Fang, and the Bashir family in the Middle East.

One of the noteworthy points is that the Bashir family was wiped out.

He is extremely talented, wealthy, and must avenge himself.

This is Raven Weasley in the eyes of most people in the wizarding world, and it is also Raven's external persona at this stage.

The next day, morning,

A rain of huffing owls brought the latest issue of the Daily Prophet to Hogwarts,

After the little wizards read the report, they found that the person involved was not far away from them. This was the freshest thing, so they hurried forward and

Raven was surrounded;

What surprised everyone was that his good friends were not by his side, and Raven was not enjoying the food as usual.

Instead, I am answering the questions raised by everyone seriously.

"Ron, should we ask Raven? What happened yesterday? Why did Neville and Raven confront each other? Where was Neville?"

Harry looked at Ron,

But Ron was eating pie and there was something in his mouth,

Wangji Wangji couldn't explain clearly for a long time.

So Ginny relayed to Harry,

"Ron means that that one is not the real Raven, but a fake. We can go back and find him alone."

Harry was confused;

Hermione thought of something and said,

"Are you saying that 'Riven' over there is actually just the alchemical human form of Raven? Then where is the real Raven?"

Ron finally swallowed what was in his mouth.

He restrained himself from wanting to drink water and said,

"It should be somewhere in Hogwarts. Raven can also set up a 'question bank' for his alchemy doll, as Raven calls it.

Let the clone handle the chores, so that he doesn't even need to be distracted and can just do his own thing. "

Hermione's eyes were full of envy, what a convenient ability.

Just as Ron expected, Raven was having an after-dinner chat with three friends at Dawn Ranch. All he had to do was wait until class time and Raven would open the door directly near the classroom.

Raven had already finished telling the story of yesterday's duel, and as his friend, Raven didn't mind sharing some more secret information.

"Why do you think it was Neville who challenged me to a duel and ended up with Voldemort fighting me?"

The three of them nodded,

Raven then explained the reason,

"This is the news I got from the Auror. This happened when I was buying books at the beginning of school.

I happened to be there that day about Mundungus Fletcher,

This person is a first-generation member of the Order of the Phoenix, but he often does some petty theft.

During a raid during the summer, my father was the leader, and some items of unknown origin were found in his home, so this guy wanted to attack my father.

But the attempt failed. After staying in Azkaban for a few days, I still had to pay a fine.

I was in Diagon Alley that day, and I saw him asking Neville's grandmother to borrow money, because Neville's parents were also the first generation members of the Order of the Phoenix.

I saw him push a black notebook into Neville's hand (Chapter 94). It must be dirt he stole from somewhere. "

Raven then took another sip of tea and continued.

"According to Neville's description after waking up yesterday, the black notebook is a student's diary. The owner of this diary can have text conversations with him and teach him some practical knowledge.

Under the guidance of the diary owner, Neville rose to prominence in the fields of herbalism and dueling, and developed his own talents. Despite this, Neville was still wary of the diary owner.

But that day he lost to Ginny. His desire for power caused a flaw in his defense, and he was taken advantage of.

That's why the diary owner was able to control his body, open the secret room, and control the basilisk to attack those people.

And it was only now that Neville recalled these memories of the period of manipulation.

Next thing you all know, that diary is Voldemort's Horcrux and the key to his resurrection.

Fortunately, he eventually hopes to be resurrected in my body, so that he can directly obtain the power of his heyday, otherwise Neville would be in danger.

He used the Imperius Curse to control Professor Lockhart and asked him to sacrifice himself, creating an environment for a duel and making me make an oath with him. "

Pabby waited for Raven to finish speaking before asking,

"Why does Voldemort have to duel you at this time? Isn't he afraid of Dumbledore?"

Raven continued to speak,

"That's a good question, but actually he's really not afraid, because once he wins, he will return to his prime, and naturally he won't be afraid of Dumbledore.

And it’s easy to understand why he chose such an occasion.

Because he is Voldemort, he feels that he is the Dark Lord. This is his carefully designed ritual. Only in the presence of so many people can he make a strong return in line with his style as the Dark Lord.

The most important thing is what he wants to show in front of Dumbledore. Dumbledore is a person of great significance to the sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle. "

After listening to Raven’s precipitation,

Misty chuckled, as if she thought of her aunt's prophecy.

Jack also slapped the table and smiled,

"It's a pity that his carefully choreographed spectacle actually made you famous, Raven."

Raven responded with a smile,

Yes, it is not easy to design such a big scene.

However, the goal of this school year has been achieved.

In this way, Voldemort's only loyalists are a group of remnants in Azkaban.

Thinking of this, Raven chuckled softly,

He turned his head to the side, he didn't want his friends to see the killing intent in his eyes.
