Chapter 241 The Life Force Sucked

After agreeing to Lockhart's request, Ivan did not leave directly, but asked him to teach him the Forgetting Curse.

The experience of this semester has made Ivan deeply understand the importance of this spell.

If he had known how to forget the curse, Hermione would not have known about sneaking into the Gryffindor girls' dormitory.

It also allows him to deal with today's affairs more calmly. For example, he can completely erase the memories of the two Ravenclaw boys and clean up the writing on the wall before others arrive.

"You want to learn the Oblivion Curse? Why? Are you planning to erase someone's memory?" Lockhart asked curiously.

"Just in case." Ivan glanced at him without explaining. "Why are you asking so many questions? I won't use it on you."

"I didn't say that, it's just that this magic is not that easy to learn." Lockhart smiled sarcastically, and began to explain to Ivan the spells, gestures, and methods of using the Forgetting Curse.

Lockhart may be just a mediocre person in other magics, but he is a real master in the Oblivion Curse. There is probably no wizard in the entire magic world who can use the Oblivion Curse better than him.

After all, Lockhart had devoted all his ingenuity to this one spell for decades.

Finally getting an opportunity to show off his practical skills, Lockhart was very engaged in what he said, and even explained some of the tips he had learned.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the little wizard in front of him has the handle on him.

Under the guidance of Lockhart, the master of the Forgetting Curse, Ivan's understanding of the Forgetting Curse has also improved dramatically.

After consuming a certain amount of academic points, Ivan could hear the sound of increasing proficiency in his head every once in a while.

Soon, Ivan saw the magic of Forgetting Curse appearing in the magic column of the system.

"Forgot everything!" Ivan waved his magic wand, and a milky white magic light hit the wall.

Since there is no target, Ivan doesn't know exactly how useful it is.

"You learned it? So fast!" Lockhart was surprised. As a master of the Forgetting Curse, he could certainly see that Ivan had already mastered this spell.

You must know that the Forgetting Curse is a very difficult memory spell to learn. It took him three days to learn it. He thought it was already very fast. He had been complacent about it before.

"Absolutely." Ivan nodded casually.

"Your talent is really surprising." Lockhart sighed with emotion and a little jealousy.

"There is no need to envy me. In terms of simply understanding the Forgetting Curse, I'm afraid no one in the magic world is better than you." Ivan shook his head and said aloud.

"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't be so famous." Lockhart said proudly.

This is also the only thing he is proud of. Not everyone can use the Forgetting Curse to erase the memories of so many powerful wizards without revealing any flaws.

Ivan was too lazy to correct Lockhart's philosophy. Everyone has their own way of living.

After learning the forgetting spell, Ivan opened the door and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, Ivan remembered something, turned around and asked tentatively.

"By the way, Professor Lockhart, what do you think of today's attack?"

Lockhart was stunned for a moment, then replied regretfully. "That's an enthusiastic Ravenclaw. I signed that girl's autograph before. Fortunately, she's fine."

Walking out of Lockhart's office, Ivan followed the flow of people back to the Gryffindor lounge.

Along the way, almost everyone was speculating on who had attacked the Ravenclaw girl, and various rumors continued.

This situation lasted until noon of the next day. After Hermione asked Professor Binns about the Chamber of Secrets, the little wizards who were born in Muggle families suddenly felt in danger.

They believed that the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets must have felt that Muggle-born wizards were not worthy of learning magic, as was rumored, so they wanted to kill the Ravenclaw girl.

The text written on the wall is a warning to everyone that anyone who intends to prevent the other party from cleaning the campus will also be killed.

The most unlucky one was Harry, who was listed as the first suspect in the attack due to his previous exposure to Parseltongue.

Because it is said that the Chamber of Secrets was built by Salazar Slytherin, and the founder of Hogwarts is most famous for his Parseltongue!

"Damn it, how could they doubt you? You were with us all the time yesterday!" Ron said angrily in the corridor outside the classroom after class.

Harry was also very depressed. Even though he had done nothing, he was inexplicably considered to be the attacker.

"Do you think it has something to do with Voldemort's thing?" Harry suddenly thought of Ivan's stolen diary, lowered his voice, and said.

"Maybe" Ivan said casually, then turned to look at Hermione and asked aloud. "Hermione, is the injured Ravenclaw awake?"

If you want to find out who took away the Horcrux, the most direct way is to ask the injured girl yesterday. The other party will most likely know some clues.

"Not yet. I heard from Madam Pomfrey that in addition to being injured, she seemed to have been infected by a very powerful dark magic, and her vitality was seriously lost." Hermione said sadly.

"Lack of vitality" Ivan frowned, and he found that the situation was more serious than he thought.

It seems that Tom Riddle is not only planning to frame him, but is also secretly trying to regain his power.

This discovery also gave Ivan some clues.

Having been in contact with Tom for so long, Ivan has a deep understanding of the power of Horcruxes.

Unless the girl has 100% trust in the Horcrux and is willing to open up part of her soul to it, there is no way that Tom can absorb so much vitality from a young wizard in a short period of time.

This means that the Ravenclaw girl is likely to have held the Horcrux for a long time before she can establish this level of trust.

Now that the poor child has lost its use value, Tom cruelly abandons him and throws him out as a discarded child to cause him some trouble.

"It's amazing, Tom, you are really getting better and better at playing tricks." Ivan had a headache. He used to use his information advantage to tease Tom every day, but now he was almost tricked by Tom.

Comparing Ginny in the original time and space, Ivan understood that Tom has now recovered a certain amount of strength, but it should not be to the extent of resurrection, because the Ravenclaw girl is still alive.

But that won’t be the case once Tom absorbs the life force of a few more people!
