Chapter 211 It Doesn’t Matter if You Can’t Remember, Your Injury Will Make You Remember!

"Don't forget the two thousand Galleons." Ivan looked at Lockhart's frightened look and was too lazy to threaten him, using the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse to open the door lock.

"Also, I have no interest in revealing your identity, but I don't want something like this to happen again."

Ivan opened the door, took one last look at Lockhart, closed the door and left, leaving only one sentence that echoed in the messy office.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. The wounds on your face will help you remember."

After Ivan left, Lockhart couldn't hold on and sat down on the ground. Only then did he feel some numbness and itching on his face.

Lockhart reached out and touched it and found that there was a trace of blood on his hand.

Lockhart suddenly looked at the broken mirror, his fragmented self, and a shallow wound on his face.

At the same time, Ivan in the corridor was also reflecting on his behavior.

The three magic items made for Lockhart this time almost got him into trouble.

Ivan had no choice but to use the six-hour strengthening magic text and the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse to suppress Lockhart, so as to prevent this guy from constantly causing trouble for him.

"It seems I have to take time to learn the Forgetting Charm." Ivan sighed.

Whether it was in Hermione's dormitory last time or the conflict with Lockhart just now, if he knew how to use the forgetting spell, he wouldn't have to go to such trouble and just clear their memories for a period of time.

It's just that he has too many things to do recently, so he hasn't had time to study.

It just so happened that Lockhart was the master of the Forgetting Curse. Ivan thought that he could just wait until Lockhart prepared two thousand galleons next time and then learn from him.

I just don't know how Lockhart would explain his messy office. Things destroyed with the Shadowless Curse cannot be repaired so easily.

However, just one day later, Ivan realized that this little trouble could not stop Lockhart, who was good at rhetoric.

Because suddenly there is a rumor in Hogwarts

Their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Lockhart, was studying a profound destructive magic in his office yesterday. During the experiment, he accidentally cut the desk in his office into two pieces.

Ron, who was having breakfast in the large exhibition hall, almost sprayed juice on Harry's face after hearing the news. He couldn't help but rant.

"Lockhart started bragging again. I guess he thinks that with this news, we will continue to pay attention to him."

Hermione interrupted before Ron could finish.

"No, this thing should be true. When Professor Lockhart asked Filch to move the table yesterday, I saw it with my own eyes. The table was cut in half from the middle.

The incision is as smooth as a mirror, and the picture frames, wood carvings, etc. are all cut out. It must be a very powerful spell."

Hermione chirped, making Ron and Harry roll their eyes.

"Do you still believe Lockhart, a liar? If he was as powerful as he said, he wouldn't have fainted on the Quidditch pitch last time." Ron shook his head and retorted.

"I didn't say Lockhart wasn't a liar," Hermione glared at him angrily before continuing. "I'm just telling you what I saw. I didn't lie to you."

"Perhaps Lockhart used some method to fool you, such as using a saw to cut these things open and pretending that they were caused by magic." Harry guessed.

"Yes! Everyone knows that Lockhart is only a little better than a squib. If he can do magic, why not just use the restoration spell to repair these things." Ron also talked eloquently.

Seeing the three of them arguing on this topic, Ivan couldn't help but shook his head and did not participate in their discussion.

He couldn't say that he actually cut it with the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse, right?

Ivan was a little curious about whether Snape would guess something from it after hearing the news, and then go to trouble Lockhart and ask him how he secretly learned his magic.

Hermione's attitude towards Lockhart was somewhat beyond Ivan's expectations.

He remembered that Hermione was Lockhart's biggest fan, and this time she actually bluntly called Lockhart a liar.

It seems that Lockhart's reputation in the school has been completely ruined. No wonder he is willing to pay high prices for the magic items he made.

After breakfast, a few people noisily went to today's magic class together.

In the afternoon, Ivan went to the library as usual to look up information about characters, and Hermione went with him.

"Ivan, are you looking for something recently?" Hermione asked curiously. She had long noticed that Ivan seemed to be distracted recently and was often looking for something in the library.

"Do you recognize this kind of character?" Ivan thought for a while and felt that Hermione might be able to give him some help, so he wrote a few of the characters on a piece of paper.

Hermione took the paper and looked at it twice, thinking hard for a while.

"How's it going? Do you have a clue?" Ivan asked.

"No, I don't recognize this thing either. Maybe it's some kind of magic text or symbol." Hermione stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly.

Ivan was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't care too much. He had been searching for so long and still had no clues. It was normal for Hermione not to know.

Taking advantage of the afternoon break, Hermione took the initiative to help find clues to these characters. Ivan went to the bookshelf and picked up a copy of "Symbol Riddle", then wrote the remaining characters on the paper and compared them one by one.

He wondered whether the shapes of these characters might refer to something, such as a location or something.

However, I searched through the entire "Symbol Riddle" and found nothing similar.

Ivan sighed and put the book back in place, holding the paper with the characters on it and preparing to leave. When he walked to the corner, he bumped into a little witch.

Ivan took a few steps back without incident, but the other party bumped into the shelf in a daze, and the book he was holding fell to the ground.

"Sorry, are you okay? Luna?" Ivan said apologetically, and then he was stunned again. The figure in front of him was Luna, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The weirdly dressed little witch shook her head gently, her silver-gray eyes stared at Ivan for a long time, she made some shapes with her palms, and then nodded to herself.

Ivan was confused and had no idea what the other person was doing. He leaned down and picked up the books that Luna had dropped.

When he was about to return it, Ivan discovered that it turned out to be a book about transfiguration. The page he opened was the introduction to Animagus.
