Chapter 332 Mr. Smile Hits a Wall
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Kyle and Lockhart were asking and answering questions like this, and the scene was quite harmonious.
Moreover, Lockhart would carefully write down Kyle's answers. Those who didn't know it thought he was working part-time as a reporter.
In about half an hour, there was a thick pile of parchment on the table.
"It's amazing..." Lockhart said with emotion: "This is the first time I have seen such an outstanding little wizard like you. You can have such incredible experiences at such a young age. You must have many interesting stories. ”
Before coming to Hogwarts, he only knew that Kyle had driven away a werewolf at St. Mungo's and was awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class.
To be honest, Lockhart was very dissatisfied at the time and felt that Sir Merlin was unfair.
He worked so hard to steal so many stories, helped an entire village get rid of the scourge of werewolves, and expelled the vampires who were doing evil everywhere... but in the end, he only received a third-level medal.
Why would Kyle be Level 2 just for defeating a werewolf, just because there was someone behind him?
So Lockhart's first impression of Kyle was that of a lucky boy... If he also knew Dumbledore and Dean Sacia of St. Mungo's, he would definitely be awarded the Second Order of Merlin.
However, since becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Lockhart's understanding of Kyle has become more comprehensive.
He learned from several senior students that the magical beast incident that caused a sensation in the entire British magical world two years ago was actually related to Kyle.
When he was only in first grade at the time, he was caught in the Forbidden Forest by the infamous dark wizard Oren, but miraculously escaped in the end.
Lockhart was also very interested in this experience and wanted to know what happened in the Forbidden Forest...if there was still time later, we could chat more.
"I can't tell you the story, it's just that I encountered a little more trouble than the average person." Kyle waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk more.
"I suddenly discovered another advantage of yours, humility."
Lockhart said with a smile, "Then let's continue back to the Chamber of Secrets,"
"What were you talking about...oh, the Big Four of Hogwarts...I dare say they must have taught you a lot of powerful spells, or ways to become stronger."
Lockhart looked at Kyle and asked casually: "Are you willing to share it with me... I know that this request may be a bit excessive. But you only need to briefly say a name... It can satisfy my curiosity. Heart."
"I disappoint you, Professor."
Kyle shook his head, "Don't talk about powerful spells, they didn't even teach me a lighting spell."
"Well...it seems that you are not willing to share this with me." Lockhart sighed, "Of course, I can understand that."
"It's true." Kyle looked into his eyes.
"The learning of any magic spell needs to be done step by step. Generally, only those liar wizards who are ignorant and have no skills will take out a secret book and lie that after learning it, they will be invincible."
Lockhart turned the pages of parchment on the table.
"Yeah, you're right."
He glanced out the window, then stood up and said, "Let me think about it, I have asked all the questions. Oh, by the way, there is one more little thing."
He drew his wand and pointed it at Kyle.
"I'm sincerely sorry, kid. I have to cast a forgetting spell on you. I don't allow others to take the limelight in my book..."
Meanwhile, Kyle was also holding his wand.
"So Professor, are all your previous stories based on this?"
Lockhart asked.
"There's nothing surprising." Kyle shrugged, "Your performance in class... doesn't look like you can drive away werewolves."
"Yes, you are right. I am that unlearned liar... an idiot... a fool... you all call me that in private, I know it."
Lockhart readily admitted.
"But I also have a lot of work. I have to track down these people and ask them how they did it... Oh, just like I asked you just now, and then I have to cast a forgetting spell on them, so that they will forget it. This memory has been completely forgotten.
If there's anything I'm proud of, it's my Oblivion Charm. "
As he spoke, Lockhart took out an exquisite notebook.
"This contains my understanding of the Forgetting Curse and some experience..."
He threw the notebook to Kyle, "This is a little compensation for you. I can't give you anything else except this."
Kyle held his wand tightly in one hand, keeping his eyes on Lockhart.
"alright……"
"Professor," Kyle said suddenly, "I have one last question.
What I just said, all professors know, including Dumbledore... You can't erase all their memories. "
"I have my own way." Lockhart seemed not to want to continue talking, "Say goodbye to your memory.
"Forget everything..."
Kyle moved his wand slightly, and the floor under Lockhart's feet suddenly bulged. His body swayed subconsciously, and the Oblivion Curse also fell on the ceiling.
"Professor, you..."
Very suddenly, a forgetting curse was shot over again.
Kyle quickly raised his wand,
"Armor protection!"
The spell bounced back, landing right on Lockhart.
With a dull crash, Lockhart fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!" He cried out in pain, holding his stomach and curled up there.
"Silent spells, and perhaps wandless spells... You are really amazing, Professor Lockhart."
Kyle shook his head and picked up the notebook, "If you sneak attack, it will be really troublesome... Although I didn't intend to give you the opportunity to sneak attack from the beginning..."
"Bang!"
Just as Kyle picked up the notebook, the door of the office was suddenly knocked open.
Professor McGonagall rushed in, followed by... a group of strikers?
Kyle had seen the leader before, Hader, the captain who was responsible for dealing with Oren last time... I heard that he is now the director of the striker office.
"Gilderoy Lockhart, we have found out that you have been tampering with other people's memories and forging your own experiences. Now we are taking you back to the Ministry of Magic for investigation..."
Hard pulled out his wand as soon as he entered the door,
But soon he found that something seemed wrong in the office.
There seemed to be traces of fighting here.
A little wizard was still holding a wand...It was the child from two years ago, and his name seemed to be Kyle.
Lockhart, whom they were looking for, was lying on the ground, looking at everyone with a blank face...
"Who are you? Who is Lockhart... and why am I on the ground?"
This... Had didn't understand for a moment.
"What happened here?"
"He just wanted to use the Oblivion Charm on me, sir." Kyle explained, "But the spell rebounded."
"Another despicable trick."
Professor McGonagall was shocked and angry. She first asked Kyle if there was any problem, and then looked at Lockhart angrily, "He actually wanted to use it on students. He really deserved it..."
"You deserved it, me?" Lockhart asked with a blink of his eyes.
But he looked much cuter now than before.
"It seems that there is a little accident here."
Had waved his hand, and someone immediately walked to Lockhart to check.
A few minutes later, the striker stood up and nodded to Had, "The memory is damaged and severely missing... Yes, it is indeed caused by the Oblivion Charm."
Then they checked the wands of the two.
"Sorry kid, it's just a routine." Hader explained to Kyle, "It's just a simple little spell. I promise it won't have any effect on your wand."
"Of course, I understand." Kyle nodded and raised his wand.
Hader also raised his wand.
"Flashback spell!"
Between the two wands, a transparent shadow emerged, looking like a wall made of gray fog.
"It's indeed the Armor Spell."
At this time, the result from Lockhart's side also came out.
A striker handed Lockhart's wand to Hader and whispered, "Forget Spell!"
"It seems that our Mr. Smile has hit a wall this time." Hader sneered, not surprised at all that Kyle could kill Lockhart.
One is the youngest member of Merlin's group, and the other is a liar who is unlearned and can only cast the Forget Spell. This result is normal.
"Should we still take him back to the Ministry of Magic for trial?" Someone asked, "He has almost lost all his memory. Even if we take him back, we can't complete the trial..."
"What a hassle. Why does it have to be a forgetfulness spell?"
Hader thought for a moment and said, "Send him to St. Mungo's first and wait for his memory to recover."
