Chapter 567 Brain Surgery

Time passes quietly in the busyness.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, and Hogwarts Castle was once again shrouded in darkness.

The "brain surgery" that took place in the principal's office at Hogwarts has almost come to an end. Most wizards have returned to the vast space of the pink wallet and are preparing to evacuate.

In the corner of the room, Albus Dumbledore was holding Gilderoy Lockhart, talking softly with a serious look on his face. However, judging from the tone of the two people and the occasional scattered sentences, the conversation was not serious. The process was quite smooth.

"... Outstanding talent, learn to face it... I am very happy... I have returned from my lost way..."

"...I heard a lot of stories...I experienced it myself...I was wrong..."

"...after it's over...keep your promise..."

"No! I volunteer to join..."

Glancing at the two people on the other side of the room, Grindelwald raised his eyebrows in disbelief, then turned his gaze back to the wizard with dull eyes in front of him, who was curled up on the floor and shaking from time to time, as if he was an abandoned rag doll. body.

What memory magic can do is not just as simple as a forgetting spell.

Whether it's modifying memories, inserting clips, or deleting edited content...as long as you have a clear goal and sufficient magical attainments, these actions can be completed. It's like a brain surgery that takes place in the magical world.

With the cooperation of three top surgeons, Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Lockhart, and several clinically experienced director-level medical staff, the wizarding world completed the most exquisite memory tampering operation in history - of course , in the absence of anesthetics, the patient's experience is naturally not wonderful.

According to Gilderoy Lockhart, due to the continuous influence of the magic of multiple wizards on his brain, Peter Pettigrew will inevitably suffer from frequent headaches, forgetfulness, irritability, and occasional imbalances in coordination...

The only good thing is that after Elena's repeated confirmation, the entire process of this operation has been deleted from Peter Pettigrew's mind, so it will not become a nightmare that Peter Pettigrew wakes up in the middle of the night.

"The more complex the plan, the more likely it is that problems will arise. You should understand that."

Grindelwald moved the wand in his hand unconsciously and said casually.

"Only the dead are the safest...and they are the kind of dead whose souls cannot speak. As it happens, I know many ways to quietly silence a wizard forever."

"Sadly, it's his mouth that we need."

Elena had a cold smile on her lips and nodded regretfully.

"But you are right. If someone patiently looks through his memory, or takes it out and puts it in a pensieve or other props, problems will indeed arise. Because of this, we need to install a Indestructible lid.”

"Don't worry, as a spy who walks between Voldemort and Dumbledore, a villain in the wizarding world who quietly commits heinous crimes, only a master of Occlumency can do this. This logic Impeccable. He is not just a minion of Voldemort, he is Voldemort's most trusted advisor secretly - is it difficult to do that?"

"It's not that difficult, but if you do this, this guy will be completely destroyed..."

Grindelwald curled his lips and took a deep look at Elena, "This is the first time I have seen you spend so much time torturing someone. Why do you have to do this, especially to me?" He brought so many people with him. He is just a bad wizard. In Hogwarts, it is almost impossible for him to escape from my hands."

Different from the Occlumency that is actively mastered, the "Occlumency Pseudo" performed through magic is like a cell built with magic. It not only blocks out prying eyes from the outside, but also blocks the change of internal information.

In other words, from now on, Peter Pettigrew's ability to receive new information will be greatly reduced.

He will present two completely opposite states at the same time - a clear recall of past memories (whether true or false) down to every detail of his expression, and a severe amnesia for new things that have happened.

"because……"

Elena smiled slightly and casually glanced at the handsome young blond wizard who had finished the conversation and was slowly walking towards the two of them. She raised her tone slightly and whispered in a pointed voice. said.

"In addition to ensuring nothing goes wrong, I also want everyone to know what the price of betraying partners, betraying friendship, and betraying justice is. Death is never the worst situation..."

"Really? Mr. Lockhart. Thank you very much for all your hard work during this time."

Elena looked at Gilderoy Lockhart, who was shaking all over, and stretched out her hand to pat the wizard's shoulder carelessly.

"As for your new book launch, I will help you organize it after the commission is over - it is quite encouraging to have a hobby of your own, and you have also collected a lot of new material recently. As for this period of time, let’s go to Bulgaria to take a rest first, there are many beautiful girls there.”

"...I just told Professor Dumbledore that I don't need to take a vacation, I can still continue to work!"

Gilderoy Lockhart, who knelt down to speak, swallowed his saliva, looked at the shortest Dark Lord in history in front of him, and said with a determined expression.

Then, the young wizard nodded politely towards Grindelwald, glanced quickly at Peter Pettigrew, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and stepped into the room on the carpet beside him without looking back. In that pink lady's purse.

"Elena, don't scare Mr. Lockhart... He has really changed a lot compared to before."

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, said with a smile, and then his face straightened.

"Now that everything is ready, I will contact Severus. He should have a batch of veritaserum in reserve. I will also call Minerva and some related personnel. We also need it from the Ministry of Magic. notify……"

"Wait, Professor Dumbledore, what are you going to do?!"

Elena frowned and looked at Dumbledore with a strange look on her face, "From what you're saying, are you planning to give Peter Pettigrew some truth serum later and have everyone get together? Are you going to watch this guy’s surrender performance?”

"People have the right to know the truth. Understanding is the first step. This is the only thing we can and must do now."

"Then... give the compiled interrogation results to the Ministry of Magic, and let the Ministry of Magic conduct a closed Wizengamot court trial based on these information, and selectively disclose part of the content to the public?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do? Don't worry, I am also a member of the Wizengamot Tribunal, and I will definitely get justice..."

"well……"

Elena and Grindelwald looked at each other and sighed in unison.

As expected, she saw the same helplessness and headache in the old devil's eyes, and "Deng's logic" started again.
