Time passes quietly in the busy.

Before you know it, the sky is getting darker, and Hogwarts Castle is once again covered in night.

The "brain surgery" that took place in the Hogwarts Headmaster's office is almost over, and most of the wizards have returned to the vast space of the pink wallet, ready to complete the evacuation.

In the corner of the room, Albus Dumbledore was pulling Gilderoy Lockhart and talking softly with a serious face, but judging by the tone of their voices and the occasional sporadic sentences that floated out, the conversation was quite smooth.

“...... Outstanding talents, learn to face ...... It's a pleasure...... Lost and ...... to return"

“...... Listened to a lot of stories...... Experience...... Wrong......"

“...... After the end...... Keeping ...... promises"

"No, I volunteered to join ......"

Glancing at the two men on the other side of the room, Grindelwald raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and retracted his gaze to the blind-eyed, curled up on the floor in front of him, trembling from time to time, as if he had been abandoned by a shabby doll.

Memory magic can do more than just Oblivion.

Whether it's modifying memories, inserting clips, deleting clips...... With a clear goal and sufficient magical skills, these actions can be accomplished, as if it were a brain surgery that took place in the wizarding world.

With the cooperation of Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Lockhart, as well as several clinically experienced director-level medical staff, the wizarding world has completed one of the most exquisite amnestic tampering operations ever performed - of course, in the absence of anesthetics, the patient's experience is not wonderful.

According to Gilderoy Lockhart, due to the constant effects of the magic of several wizards, Peter Pettigrew inevitably suffered from frequent headaches, forgetfulness, irritability, and occasional imbalances in coordination......

Fortunately, after Elena's repeated confirmation, the whole process of this operation has been erased from Peter Pettigrew's mind, so it will not be a nightmare that Peter Pettigrew wakes up in the middle of the night in the future.

"The more complex the plan, the more likely it is to go wrong, you should understand. ”

The wand in Grindelwald's hand moved lightly unconsciously, and said nonchalantly.

"Only the dead are the safest...... And it's the kind of dead person whose soul can't speak—as it happens, I know many ways to silence a wizard for good. ”

"It's a shame that what we need is his mouth. ”

A cold smile hung on the corner of Elena's mouth, and she nodded regretfully.

"But you're right, if someone has a little patience to look through his memories, or pull it out and put it in a meditation basin or something, it will be a problem. That's why we need to put an indestructible lid on him. ”

"Don't worry, as a spy who walks between Voldemort and Dumbledore, the evil man of the wizarding world who quietly commits heinous crimes, and only a master of Occlumency can do this, this logic is unassailable. He's not just a Voldemort's minion, he's Voldemort's most trusted advisor in the dark—is it hard to do?"

"It's not that difficult, but in this way, this guy can be completely ruined......"

Grindelwald pursed his lips and gave Elena a deep look, "This is the first time I've seen you put so much effort into torturing a person, why do you have to do this, especially if you have to bring so many people with me." But a crappy wizard, and there's almost no way he'll escape from me at Hogwarts. ”

Unlike the Occlumency Technique, which is actively mastered, the "Occlumency Pseudo" that is performed through magic is like a cell constructed with magical power, which not only isolates the prying eyes from the outside, but also closes off the change of information inside.

In other words, from now on, Peter Pettigrew's ability to receive the New Message will be greatly reduced.

He will be in two diametrically opposed states at the same time - a clear recollection of past memories (true or false) down to the last detail, and severe amnesia of new events.

"Because ......"

Elena smiled slightly, and casually swept over the handsome blonde young wizard who had finished talking and was slowly walking in the direction of the two of them, raised her voice a little, and whispered pointedly.

"In addition to making sure that 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 case scenario......"

"Yes, Mr. Lockhart. Thank you very much for all your hard work during this time. ”

Elena looked at Gilderoy Lockhart, who was trembling, and reached out and patted the witch on the shoulder with a big grin.

"I'll help you organize your book launch when the commission is over – it's encouraging to have a hobby of your own, and you've recently collected a lot of new material. As for this time, let's go to Bulgaria to take a break, there are a lot of beautiful girls there. ”

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

Gilderoy Lockhart swallowed, looked at the shortest Dark Lord ever in front of him, and said with a resolute expression.

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

"Elena, don't scare Mr. Lockhart...... He's really changed a lot more than ever. ”

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, and said with a sneer, and his face immediately straightened.

"Now that everything is ready, then I'll contact Severus, he should have a stock of truth-spitting elixirs, and call Minerva and some related personnel, and we need to inform the Ministry of Magic as well......"

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

Elena frowned and looked at Dumbledore with a strange expression, "Listen to you, is it planning to pour the truth potion on Peter Pettigrew later, and then get everyone together to watch this guy's surrender performance?"

"People have the right to know the truth, understanding is the first step, and this is the only thing we can do right now, and we have to do. ”

And then ...... Then hand over the results of the interrogation to the Ministry of Magic, so that the Ministry of Magic can conduct a private Wizengamot court hearing based on these information, and selectively disclose some of the contents to the public?"

"Otherwise, rest assured, I am also a member of the Wizengamot Court, and I will definitely get a fair ......"

"Alas......"

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

As expected, she also saw the same helplessness and headache in the eyes of the old demon king, and the "Deng logic" began again.
