Chapter 247 The Dark Lord’s Wish

"Weasley, I think you need to learn when to shut up!" Snape waved his wand, and a gray-white light hit Ron.

Ron suddenly found himself speechless in horror, and Snape nodded with satisfaction and left.

Ivan mourned for a moment of silence for Ron's tragic experience, and at the same time he was speculating in his mind about the progress of the matter.

Dumbledore did not allow them to return to the dormitory to rest, which proves that the two girls who did not come to class have not been found yet, or some other changes happened in the middle!

Ivan lay quietly in his sleeping bag, thinking over and over again about the series of events that happened after the Horcrux was lost. He didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.

The next day, the results of last night's search spread, and Ivan found that things once again exceeded his expectations.

One of the two junior girls who did not come to class was attacked and fell unconscious and was sent to the school hospital.

The remaining second-year Slytherin girl has not been found yet and is classified as temporarily missing.

Ivan became more and more uneasy after hearing the news. It was now almost certain that the Horcrux was in the hands of this Slytherin girl.

But he secretly used the Marauder's Map to check it in the morning, and the entire school couldn't find the other party's name, which meant two possibilities.

Either the girl is hiding in a mysterious place similar to a secret room, or she is already dead

After absorbing the life force of at least three people, Ivan guessed that Tom Riddle's power should be close to resurrection. This Slytherin girl is probably dispensable to him, and it is not impossible to be abandoned.

In terms of strength, Ivan is not afraid of the sixteen-year-old Voldemort. The memories between the Horcrux and the original body are not the same, which means that after Tom's resurrection, he is far from reaching the level of his original body.

When discussing and studying various magic spells with Horcrux before, Ivan had roughly judged that Tom Riddle's spell level was about level five, and there was no obvious gap between him and himself.

Taking into account the increase in several magic props and two special bloodline magics, Ivan felt that he should be able to win with certainty.

The only thing that needs to be considered is how to find Tom's whereabouts

Ivan tried to analyze the commonalities of these victimized girls, hoping to find something from them, but found nothing.

They were in different colleges, and they were older or younger. Even after he specifically asked, these girls didn't have much contact with each other.

Ivan frowned and thought while eating lunch in the auditorium.

Since the results of the search have spread, many young wizards are also talking about last night's attack, and they all speculate that the missing Slytherin girl is the heir to the Chamber of Secrets.

More people are panic-stricken, fearing that they will be attacked next.

George and Fred took the opportunity to come up with a kind of peace charm, which was said to be effective in resisting attacks. The sales were very popular for a while, and most girls were willing to buy one and hang it on their body.

After lunch, Ivan looked at the class schedule. There were two Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the afternoon.

Ivan was ready to listen to stories all afternoon, but what surprised him was that Lockhart did not let Neville come on stage to perform with him during class.

For two whole classes, Lockhart not only boasted about how he deliberately acted in order to protect Snape's face in the duel last night, but also showed off a lot of magic knowledge to these second-year wizards.

Ivan was still a little strange, but when he thought about the magic books placed in Lockhart's office, it became clear.

After class, Ivan was walking on the way to the auditorium,

In the corridor, a group of little witches were chattering about today's Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson, and of course the duel between Lockhart and Snape last night.

They firmly believe that Professor Lockhart is so powerful, he will definitely find the attacker soon, just like every one of his adventures!

Ivan vaguely thought of something while listening to their conversation, but he could never grasp the key point.

"That guy is obviously an out-and-out liar!" Hermione complained in a low voice, then glared at Ivan dissatisfied and continued.

"You must have told Professor Lockhart the magical knowledge, right?"

"That's not true. Maybe Lockhart read it in some book." Ivan shook his head and frowned. He felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Suddenly, Ivan heard the reminder sound in his mind that the system task was completed.

Ivan opened the system list very strangely, and suddenly found that his legendary value had a little more. He looked at the task bar and found that the status of one task had indeed changed.

[Quest: The Dark Lord’s Wish (Completed)

Mission objective: Tom Riddle teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts classes directly or indirectly

Mission reward: Legend point*1 (already issued)

Mission description: Although the Dark Lord completed this mission on his own, your reward will not be reduced in any way]

Ivan looked at the mocking mission statement and gritted his teeth.

"Lockhart is that you?!"

Ivan was very puzzled. Lockhart was clearly in the auditorium yesterday and should not have had the chance to attack those girls.

Unless Ivan thought of a possibility, took out the Marauder's Map and found Lockhart's name, and found that Lockhart did not go to the auditorium on the first floor after class, but kept going upstairs.

Seeing this, Ivan immediately ran towards Lockhart's position.

Hermione was very surprised. It was about to have dinner. Where was Ivan going in a hurry at this time?

The little witch frowned, remembering Ivan's previous words, and immediately realized something.

Although she still didn't understand how Ivan made the judgment, Hermione gritted her teeth and accelerated her pace. She was going to the Great Hall to report the news to Dumbledore.

After all, Ivan had told her before that the attack was probably related to the mysterious man!

In her opinion, the only one who can help Ivan now is Dumbledore.

On the other side, Ivan was tracking Lockhart's movements with the Marauder's Map, and soon discovered that Lockhart seemed to be heading to the abandoned girls' bathroom, which was the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Ivan didn't quite understand why Lockhart chose this time to go to the secret room, but these were no longer important. He could ask them all as long as he caught the other party.

Seeing Lockhart's name disappear from the entrance to the chamber of secrets, Ivan put away the Marauder's Map and tightened his grip on the wand.

But Ivan didn't notice that shortly after he moved his eyes away from the Marauder's Map, a name he was very familiar with suddenly appeared in a corridor on the eighth floor of the castle.

Thanks to book friend Jiugang Tingfeng for the 1,000 starting coin reward, and Captain Tonkatsu for the 100 starting coin reward.
