Chapter 255 It Was All This Bad Boy Tom Who Fooled Me.

"No, you were a liar before, do you understand?" Ivan corrected.

"How is that possible? You must have made a mistake!" Lockhart shook his head and said in disbelief.

"You are a liar!" Ivan's elder wand pointed at the floor tiles in the distance, a red light flashed and an explosion sounded.

"Okay, you're right, I'm a liar!" Lockhart glanced at the big crater on the ground, swallowed hard, and said against his will.

Ivan was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and put away the damaged diary and crown.

Immediately afterwards, Ivan used the transformation spell to transform into a majestic giant eagle with a wingspan of several meters long, and prepared to fly up on it.

"Squeaks ~" Phoenix Fox ran out with short legs at this time. The bares on the body had not grown feathers, like a little turkey preparing to put it in the pot.

Fox ran up to Ivan and tugged on his trousers to tell him not to forget about him. But when he looked up, he saw that the little wizard in front of him was looking at him. Something seemed wrong?

Riding the giant eagle, Ivan went all the way up and flew out from the entrance.

Lockhart below was not treated so well. He was held by the giant eagle's two talons and screamed in mid-air for fear of falling.

"Go back!" Ivan jumped off the back of the giant eagle, looked back at it, and said.

The giant eagle nodded humanely, then got into the secret room, waiting for the magic power of the transformation spell to be exhausted and turn back into a stone.

Ivan did not stay in the girls' bathroom, but took Lockhart with him to the principal's office.

Along the way, Lockhart kept asking endless questions, which annoyed Ivan so much that he immediately warned him that if he said one more word, he would be speechless in the future!

In front of the principal's office, the door to the passage is opened directly.

Ivan activated the Occlumency Technique, and while thinking about how to explain it later, he walked in without stopping.

Passing through the semi-circular staircase, Ivan saw Dumbledore in dark blue robes sitting behind the desk. To his surprise, Hermione was also here.

"Ivan, it's great that you're okay!" When Hermione saw Ivan, her frown suddenly relaxed and she rushed forward happily.

"Hermione, why are you here?" Ivan asked confusedly after being knocked all over.

At this time, Dumbledore's voice rang.

"It was Miss Granger who came to inform me that you were in danger, so I asked Fox to find you."

Hermione, who was holding Ivan tightly, realized that there were other people in the principal's office. Her fair cheeks suddenly turned red and she hurriedly let go of Ivan.

"Thank you, Hermione," Ivan said gratefully. If Hermione hadn't informed him in time, I might not have been able to come back.

The little witch shook her head and said that this was what she should do.

When she was in the corridor before, she saw Ivan chasing Lockhart in a panic with an ugly face, and she guessed that there must be something wrong with Lockhart.

In addition, the attack may be related to the mysterious person, Hermione was very worried about Ivan's safety, so she immediately notified Dumbledore in the auditorium.

Dumbledore quickly determined the approximate area where the two disappeared based on the reports from the portraits in the castle.

Hermione was chattering to Ivan about what happened. She stopped abruptly mid-sentence, widened her eyes, and watched a familiar figure walking out of the door.

"Professor Lockhart?!" Hermione said in surprise.

"Professor? Are you talking about me?" Lockhart was looking at the portrait in the principal's office curiously. After hearing Hermione's words, he was stunned and pointed at himself strangely.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Lockhart came up to him like crazy and asked hurriedly. "You must know who I am, right? Tell me quickly!"

"Ivan, what's going on, Professor Lockhart?" Hermione was startled and hurriedly hid behind Ivan.

Dumbledore glanced at Lockhart thoughtfully, then turned his blue eyes to look at Ivan, his slender fingers slowly met together, and said in a deep voice.

"Hals, I think you need to explain it to us."

"Of course, Professor! But this story may be a bit long!" Ivan nodded.

As early as the time when he came to the principal's office, Ivan had already thought of his words.

Even when he started talking about the diary that Old Malfoy sold him, everything he said was true. Only things about the system were hidden.

After all, the system and time travel are secrets that he must keep and will never tell.

At the same time, when Ivan was telling the story, he deliberately mentioned his mother Asia many times and paid attention to Dumbledore's face.

The centenarian just listened quietly, and his expression didn't even fluctuate much. He only felt a little moved when he heard Ivan talk about the Slytherin Laboratory.

Ivan couldn't figure out the relationship between the two. It was clear that Asia was full of anger when she mentioned Dumbledore.

Unable to figure it out, Ivan gave up the idea of ​​testing, and after explaining the causes and consequences of obtaining the Horcrux, he spoke again.

"In the past few months, Tom Riddle taught me a lot of magic knowledge. He also told me about the existence of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. I have always regarded him as my best friend."

Ivan's face showed a lonely look at the right time, indicating that he had always been a good student who abided by school rules, but he was accidentally deceived by the sinister old Malfoy and the evil Tom Riddle.

"You don't have to feel depressed, Hals!" Dumbledore continued gently.

"Many dark wizards are good at disguise and deception, and Voldemort is the best among them. Even when he was a student, he was the same. You must know that many adult wizards were fooled by him at that time."

"And Ivan, you succeeded in seeing through him, didn't you?" Hermione also said comfortingly.

"Yes, even though he disguised himself very well, I still found something wrong, so I planned to give the diary to you for identification, but I didn't expect it to be stolen halfway."

Ivan told the story about Dobby stealing and losing the Horcrux, and then the ridiculous things Lockhart did when he picked up the Horcrux, and how he deduced that Lockhart was the attacker based on various clues.

"Then why did Professor Lockhart become like this? Did you do anything to him?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I found out his identity. He planned to use the forgetting spell on me, but it was deflected by my protective ring." Of course Ivan would not say that he had erased Lockhart's memory, but that he had erased Lockhart's memory from the original time and space. My experience has been changed and I have another way of saying it.

is that so? Lockhart looked confused, but couldn't reply because he couldn't remember anything.
