But before they could leave, they saw Hermione and Lockhart stumble in. Lockhart looked terrified, his body trembling. Hermione pointed her wand at him from behind, her face as pale as a sheet.
"Miss Granger, the adventure should be over. We may have come too late to save your friends. I'm very sorry. You know me and Mr. Mason …"
Before Lockhart could finish, he suddenly saw the huge corpse of the snake monster. His knees gave way and he collapsed to the ground, screaming in horror. "Snake, snake, giant snake!"
"Oh my god, are you guys okay?!"
Hermione then saw Elwyn, Harry, and Ron standing beside the snake monster's corpse. She ran over with a face full of joy, hugging everyone with red eyes.
"We're fine, Hermione. But if you continue to hug me so tightly, it's hard to say!" Elwyn felt weak. He felt that Hermione hugged him longer than the other two. He changed the topic awkwardly. "Oh yes, how did you come in? You even brought Lockhart with you?
"It's like this …" Hermione hurriedly let go, her face red.
After hearing her explanation, Elwyn realized that after he and Harry were taken away by the snake monster, Professor Meg and the other teachers rushed to the common breakroom. They had intended to look for Dumbledore, but the principal was entangled by the Ministry of Magic's Minister Cornelius, Gaj, and Lucius Malfoy.
Hermione deduced that the entrance to the secret chamber was in the girls' washroom on the third floor, based on the fact that the first victim was the crying Myrtle when the secret chamber was opened 50 years ago. She then decided to look for Professor Lockhart.
But I didn't expect that he didn't dare to come down with me to save you. When he heard that the snake monster had started attacking the students in the school, he even wanted to run away! "
Hermione looked at Lockhart, who had collapsed to the side, and sobbed. "I forced him down with my wand. I couldn't find anyone else to help, and there wasn't enough time. I was afraid that if I delayed any longer, you guys …"
Elwyn hurriedly hugged Hermione in his arms and stroked her head. This little girl seemed to be terrified.
"But why did he run away? What I mean is, why would he do such a thing? He is the teacher of the Defense Against Black Magic class, and he has clearly written so many outstanding books? "Harry said in disbelief.
"This, this, how should I put it … When I accepted this position, the work regulations didn't include this … I didn't expect …" Lockhart mumbled vaguely when he saw the four of them turn to look at him. "Also, books can be deceptive."
"Lie?!" Hermione looked up in surprise. "Didn't you write those books?"
"Aiya, my dear Miss Granger!" Lockhart nudged to the side. "Use your common sense to think about it. If I don't let people think that I did all those things, the sales of the books won't be good."
"Readers won't be willing to read about the deeds of an ugly old American wizard, even though he saved a village from the scourge of werewolves. Wouldn't it be ugly to put his photo on the cover? He doesn't have any taste in clothes. And that witch who banished the Wanlun female ghost, she's a cheeky person! What I mean is, think about it … "
"So, you put all the things that others did on your account?" Hermione asked in disbelief.
"It's not as simple as you make it out to be!"
Lockhart shook his head impatiently and nudged a few meters to the side. "I have a lot of work to do. I have to track down these people and ask them how they were able to do all those things. Then I have to cast a Forgetting Hex on them so that they will forget all about it. "
"Forgetting Hex?!" Elwyn was secretly alarmed. He had almost forgotten that the guy in front of him was a Forgetting Hex Master.
"That's right. If there's anything I can be proud of, it's my Forgetting Hex. You know, I have to put in a lot of hard work as well. It's not just signing books and taking pictures of celebrities. If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to work hard for a long time. "
Lockhart seemed to have touched something on the floor. He stood up, panting, holding Ron's wand in his hand. There was his unique smile on his face, revealing his shiny teeth.
"Alright, children, it's time to end this!" He said. "I'm going to bring this giant snake's corpse back to school and tell them that it was I who saved all of you, and that all of you lost your minds because of the shock!"
"Professor, you, how could you do this!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Lockhart in shock. Originally, before he stood up, Elwyn had planned to use a Stun Hex to knock him out, but when he saw Ron's wand in Lockhart's hand, he gave up on the idea.
He could feel Hermione trembling with anger in his arms. He patted her shoulder lightly, indicating for her to relax.
Lockhart wasn't Tom Riddle. He didn't know how to cast without a wand, nor did he have such strong control over magic. Rashly using a broken wand would only result in him being killed.
"I won't be stupid enough to let you expose me! Children, bid farewell to your memories! "
Lockhart raised the broken wand high above his head and shouted, "All Forgetting Is Void!
Bang! The wand suddenly exploded. The force of the explosion was no less than a small bomb.
Lockhart was hit by his own magic and quickly flew backwards. He landed heavily on the floor of the secret chamber.
Seeing this effect, Elwyn knew that the Forgetting Hex was very powerful.
"Oh my god, is he alright?"
"He was hit by his own Forgetting Hex. He probably doesn't remember who he is. This might not be a bad thing for him. Otherwise, if we go up and expose his true identity, Professor Lockhart will definitely go crazy, "Elwyn said softly.
"Professor?! Who are you talking about? " Lockhart looked up at them amiably. "This place is really strange. Do you live here?"
"No!" Harry shook his head.
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave this place. We've been tossing and turning for an entire night, we need a good rest. Furthermore, Professor Dumbledore is still waiting for us up there. Don't let him worry too much. "
Thinking about how he still had to face Dumbledore's questions later, Elwyn felt a headache coming on.
Who knew what the greatest light Magus of this era was thinking. Although he did not mind helping Harry fight against Lord Voldemort, it did not feel good to be manipulated by someone else.
Elwyn suddenly realized that after defeating the snake monster and Tom Riddle, he still had to deal with the troublesome matters.
First, he had to be careful of Dumbledore scheming against him. He would not end up like Harry, counting the money after being sold. However, he did not have to worry too much about this matter. No matter what, at least Dumbledore had a bottom line, unlike Lord Voldemort who had no scruples.
Secondly, there was the secret treasure left behind by the four founders of the Hogwarts.
He did not know what was inside, but from the conversation of the four founders, he could guess that the things inside were very helpful in fighting against Lord Voldemort and saving the Hogwarts. But the problem was, where were the four keys hidden?
Also, now that Lockhart had lost his memory, his previous lies would be exposed, and his reputation would be ruined.
This was not good news for the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper. Elwyn had to worry about finding a new selling point.
Then, he saw Ron standing there with a disappointed look on his face. Harry stood at the side, not knowing what to say. Hermione wanted to go over and ask them about Tom Riddle. He hurriedly stopped Hermione, leaving Ron alone for a while. If there was anything else, they could talk about it tomorrow.
