Chapter 317 Establishing the Squib Wizard School (two-in-one)

"Dark Lord, no, the mysterious man is coming back?"

"Wasn't he killed by the savior?"

"Albus, tell me, are you kidding me?"

"."

Compared with Grindelwald's global scourge, Voldemort's raging in Britain left the most profound impression on them.

You know, compared to Grindelwald, Voldemort is like a madman, and his methods are darker, cruel, and cruel.

The most important thing is that Voldemort has only been gone for about ten years.

Basically everyone present had experienced the period when the Dark Lord was wreaking havoc, and they couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts.

Especially the Minister of Magic, Fudge, even felt a little weak all over.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, the mysterious man is dead."

Fudge shouted loudly, trying to reverse the will of everyone present.

Voldemort is not dead yet. If this news spreads, it will cause chaos in the wizarding world.

Unless he was hostile to Voldemort, he had no chance of being re-elected.

It is even possible for the middle to step down.

When he thought of this, Fudge trembled all over. It was a good thing that he didn't taste power.

But he has already tasted the taste of power.

The feeling of being looked up to by everyone, and a large number of wizards can be mobilized with just one command.

The more I think about it, the harder it is to let go.

Just as he was about to shout at Dumbledore to deny the news.

suddenly

"Headmaster, just because you have the Death Eater mark, it doesn't mean you are the Dark Lord."

"I think this is someone who is planning to kill people and silence them, and then put the name of the Dark Lord on it."

"Come and die without any evidence!"

Hearing Lockhart's voice, Fudge felt a little excited, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he affirmed loudly.

"Yes, Dumbledore, Professor Lockhart is right."

"The Dark Lord is dead. There is no way he can come back to life. This is definitely a conspiracy."

"This is a wizard who is preparing to kill people in the name of the Dark Lord."

As soon as Fudge finished speaking, Lockhart on the side agreed: "Yes, we must not be fooled by the enemy."

"Even if the Dark Lord is still alive, why is he killing these wizards?"

"These wizards were sent to attack me. Could it be that the mastermind behind this is a dead Dark Lord?"

"To put it harshly, if he is really the mastermind behind this, I will let him die again after I find him."

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, always seek revenge."

Upon hearing this, the wizard on the side was about to ridicule Lockhart for overestimating his abilities.

But I just thought that Lockhart and Grindelwald were evenly matched and could even break the Death Curse.

There was a sudden silence.

In particular, some Wizengamot members from pure-blood families did not speak.

Because, in their master's current state, it is very likely that he is no match for Lockhart.

Fudge on the side seemed to have thought of something after hearing this. His eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Yes, Master Lockhart is right."

"With Professor Lockhart's strength, even the Dark Lord would not dare to take action easily."

He could see Lockhart's strength just now.

If you can fight Grindelwald, I can't say that you will be able to defeat the Dark Lord, but you can definitely protect him.

Even if the Dark Lord does come out, he can become the Ministry of Magic's trump card without relying on Dumbledore.

When the time comes, you can still keep your position even if you don't have enough money.

Well, to be honest, he actually believed in Dumbledore's judgment in his heart.

It's just that the desire for power suppresses inner thoughts.

At this moment, Dumbledore sighed softly in his heart, but said nothing more.

He knew that Lockhart wanted to attack those pure-blood families this time.

If Tom is used as an excuse, then everything he has done before will be in vain.

In addition, Lockhart, who can tie up with Grindelwald in the future against Tom, is definitely an extremely important key.

Finally, you can express your attitude through silence.

Lockhart was very satisfied when he saw everyone, especially Fudge's attitude towards Dumbledore.

Sure enough, only when faced with enough external threats can internal unity be achieved.

He didn't believe it. Facing Grindelwald and Voldemort, Dumbledore was ready to push himself to the opposite side.

As for the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, if he doesn't want to rely on Dumbledore, he can only rely on himself.

With his thoughts turning, Lockhart said in a deep voice to everyone: "Everyone, although these wizards are dead, the leading three are still alive."

"You can still catch the mastermind behind it."

"Just now, I have obtained some information. I will hand it over to Minister Fudge and the Aurors later."

Having said this, Lockhart turned to Fudge and said, "Minister Fudge, you must keep a close eye on these three wizards and get information about the mastermind from them in a timely manner."

"Don't let anyone have the opportunity to kill someone again."

"Otherwise, I have no choice but to do it myself."

At the end of his words, there was a cold and threatening tone in Rohart's tone.

When Fudge heard this, he was stunned and said quickly: "Don't worry, Professor Lockhart, the Ministry of Magic will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

When Dumbledore heard this, he had a complicated expression on his face.

He was a little confused, what was his student planning?

He had the information in his hands, but without telling it, he handed the person over to the Ministry of Magic again.

What is Lockhart going to do to make things such a big deal this time?

The surrounding Wizengamot members, especially those from pure-blood families, showed a hint of joy on their faces after hearing this, but it disappeared in an instant.

They are familiar with this routine.

Lockhart did this simply because he wanted to take this opportunity to make a deal with them.

Their pure-blood family is very familiar with such secret negotiations and private transactions.

As for why Lockhart did this?

They had no doubt that even if Lockhart revealed the truth, what good would it do to him?

It's nothing more than proving one's innocence.

But if you trade privately today, you can get real benefits.

No fool would do this.

The only thing they are worried about now is whether Lockhart will open his mouth?

This is their biggest concern.

The tone of Lockhart's last words made it clear to them that if they were not satisfied with the deal, he would take action himself.

At this moment, Lockhart looked at the Wizengamot members who were thinking a lot.

Bringing the subject back again, he said to everyone: "Everyone, now that Grindelwald has proven it, let's go back to the original issue of the Rango wizard suffering from the Forgotten Curse."

Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses and once again focused their attention on Lango Marx.

At this moment, Lango Marx will reveal emotions of decadence, sadness, hatred, and anger.

He saw Lockhart's battle scene, and he vaguely realized that he had memory problems.

There was actually speculation deep down in my heart.

In this way, he felt a little desperate for a while, knowing that he had become a pawn, being played as a fool by purebloods.

"Professor Lockhart, do you have anything else to say?"

"If you have nothing to say, let's move on to the next step."

At this moment, Judge Miranda asked Lockhart with a complicated expression.

He also understood the meaning of Lockhart's previous words. This was an act that she hated very much, but could do nothing about.

If the prisoner is willing to settle privately, what can he do as a judge?

"Judge Miranda, please give me a little more time. I have something else I need to say."

Miranda naturally nodded in agreement.

"Members of the Wizengamot, I believe there have been some speculations about this case."

"I want to believe in everyone's fairness."

"However, as I mentioned before, I actually feel very sympathetic to Lango Marcos' experience."

"I have specifically said before that I have done a lot of research on memory spells."

Speaking of this, Lockhart's tone revealed confidence.

"As for Wizard Lango suffering from the Forgetting Curse, I can actually help him remove the effects of the Forgetting Curse, and it won't take too much time."

"I would like to make an application to the judge and fellow Wizengamot members."

"Please allow me to use magic to help Wizard Lango regain his normal memory."

"In this way, the truth about all the accusations about me will naturally come to light."

After hearing Lockhart's request, all the Wizengamot members started talking.

But soon, the Wizengamot members of the pure-blood family immediately spoke: "We agree to Lockhart's application."

They naturally knew that the scene could be made less embarrassing, so they were naturally willing to do so.

Even if Lango regains his true memory, he will not reveal the pure blood information, and it will not have much impact on them.

Soon, others agreed one after another.

Judge Miranda sighed inwardly, and then asked Rango Marx: "Wizard Rango, are you willing to accept Professor Lockhart's magical treatment?"

After hearing this, Lango said directly without any hesitation: "I am willing to believe Professor Lockhart."

As he spoke, he looked gratefully at Lockhart.

Without magic interference, with his IQ, he can naturally judge who is good and who is bad.

"Okay, of course Wizard Rango and all Wizengamot members agree, then Professor Lockhart, you can take action."

Judge Miranda said expressionlessly.

In fact, everyone already knows the final result, and she will naturally not deliberately stop it.

Today's trial is the first time in her history that she has experienced such a bizarre trial.

The trial is not like a trial, it is completely like a Lockhart one-man show.

When Lockhart heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Then he gently stretched out his right palm, and instantly, an emerald green light spot floated over the palm of his hand.

As soon as the light spot appeared, everyone present felt a surging vitality and the desire revealed by the soul.

At the same time, Lockhart's introduction sounded in their ears.

"Everyone, this is the treasure I refined, and I named it the Light of Life."

"His role is to compensate for the damage to the soul and reduce the backlash of black magic."

"Of course, the most important thing is to extend life span."

Upon hearing Lockhart's introduction, especially the last point, most wizards subconsciously held their breath, with greedy eyes in their eyes.

But they all knew Lockhart's strength and made no move.

Immediately afterwards, Lockhart introduced again.

"The essence of the Forgetting Curse lies in its impact on the soul's memory. I can solve this problem."

"But it is obvious that Wizard Lango has also been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, and has suffered certain damage."

"This light of life can completely help Wizard Lango's soul return to normal, and even strengthen his soul and extend his life."

"Help Wizard Rango return to full normalcy."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Lango with envy.

Then, they saw Lockhart wave his hand, and the emerald green light of life penetrated into Wizard Lango's forehead.

The next moment, Lockhart stretched out his hands, made a strange gesture, and then moved slightly.

In an instant, several silver-white runes and a large number of threads appeared in front of Lockhart.

As Lockhart's hands slid, they formed a silver-white halo.

Then, a silver-white halo slowly floated above Lango's head, and a large number of silver-white light spots appeared from the halo, falling into Lango's brain like raindrops.

It's like undergoing deep healing.

At this moment, Lange's whole body and even his soul felt extremely comfortable, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

His soul was constantly repairing and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made his whole body tremble slightly with comfort, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

At the same time, the memories that had been cleared from his mind began to be restored.

As his memory returned, Lango's mood began to fluctuate sharply.

He was indeed attacked by a dark wizard, but not two years ago, but not long ago.

A dark wizard dressed in black tortured him by casting the Forgetting Curse and the Cruciatus Curse.

Pain, pain, endless pain.

Later, the other party cast a lot of spells on him and distorted his memory.

When he thought of this, Lango's mood fluctuated abnormally, and he wanted revenge.

But soon, a cold feeling entered his mind, allowing him to quickly calm down and come to his senses.

At this moment, Lockhart, after feeling that Lango had completely returned to normal, gently waved his hand again, and the silver-white rune halo above his head disappeared.

Then, Lockhart said to everyone: "Everyone, Wizard Rango has restored his normal memory."

"You can check, and you can ask if you have any questions."

At this time, Wizard Lange said in a hoarse voice.

"Dear members of the Wizengamot, I have regained my memory."

"There was someone else who attacked me, not Professor Lockhart."

"This was an intentional frame-up."

Malfoy Manor at night.

In a spacious conference room, everyone gathered around a round table and sat down one after another. Most of them looked very bad.

"Lucius, this is your plan. Look at the results you have caused now. Not to mention the fact that we have used a lot of resources, the number of wizards who have died is the largest in the past 10 years."

"Yes, Lucius, have you seriously investigated Lockhart? The other party can fight Grindelwald. We don't know anything, otherwise so many people would die."

"Lucius, I'm not talking about you, how should we explain the Presbyterian Church? Those three may be members of the Presbyterian Church, but now they have become squibs, and they may even have a short life."

"."

Lucius sat in front of his seat, listening to everyone's criticisms expressionlessly.

He is the initiator of the entire plan and is naturally the first person to blame.

For one thing, he knew there was nothing he could do, so he didn't say much.

The best solution is to do nothing and let everyone vent their grievances and anger.

Everyone felt helpless when they saw Lucius who had no reaction.

This time we really suffered a big loss, people died, resources were lost, and we even had to be blackmailed by Lockhart.

It's like a loss to grandma's house.

"Everyone, let's not discuss these for now. Let's discuss Lockhart's request first." Parkinson said indifferently.

A lot of people in their family died. Before the Squib Parade, he sent people to kill some of the leaders and cause chaos.

However, for some reason, all the wizards who took action have disappeared, and there is still no trace, or they are dead.

"Lucius, tell me, Fudge will convey Lockhart's request to you."

After hearing what Parkinson said, everyone fell silent.

Lucius looked a little hesitant and said in a low voice.

"Lockhart wants our 12 pure-blood families to provide 120,000 gold galleons, 3 bottles of Felixir, 100 bottles of Dream Soul Potion, 3 top-level magic items, and 500 low-level magic items."

Everyone's faces turned pale when they heard Lucius spitting out a huge list of resources.

If we really want to take this out, we have to empty out all 12 of their pure-blood families.

Soon, Lucius's very heavy voice came to everyone's ears.

"Finally, Lockhart asked us to use all our power to pass a resolution at the Ministry of Magic."

"That is"

"Openly establishing a school for squib wizards like Hogwarts."

"Lockhart is the Headmaster."
