Chapter 076: Forgotten Memory Fragments

Catherine quickly understood that the stick was the greatest threat to her, and she immediately aimed her attack at Dumbledore's wand-holding hand, and when the arrows ran out, she threw the crossbow straight over, then picked up the things in the room, kicked them, threw them with her hands, and in short, aimed them at his left hand.

Dumbledore was over a hundred years old after all, and his skills were no longer as agile as they used to be, and soon his hand was smashed and he had to let go of his wand.

Seeing this, Catherine immediately took off a longsword that hung on the wall, and as soon as Dumbledore bent down, she put the drawn longsword around his neck, forcing him to stand up, and kicking away the wand that had fallen to the ground.

"Say, who the hell are you?" Catherine moved her sword, slashing a bloody streak on Dumbledore's neck.

Catherine's actions stunned Dumbledore, but he immediately showed a kind expression and said with a smile: "My name is Albus Dumbledore, and I am a wizard and the headmaster of a witchcraft and wizardry school called Hogwarts. ”

"Wizard? School of Magic? Catherine looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, "Then what are you doing here?" She asked indifferently.

"My former student has a daughter, her name is Catherine, red hair, brown eyes, his daughter disappeared after the accident in his house, and you and his wife look alike when they are younger." Dumbledore smiled and explained, "So, I came to see for myself, but it seems that you misunderstood. ”

Dumbledore's words made Catherine look surprised: "Is what you said true?" ”

"Of course, Miss Prince, all it takes is a few spells for me to prove your origins." Dumbledore looked expectant.

But Catherine suddenly sneered: "Mr. Dumbledore, this is the first day I have heard that someone will use this excuse to get their weapons back. ”

Dumbledore was stunned, he realized his mistake, he completely forgot how dangerous Catherine's situation was, and he was anxious to know if she was the person he was looking for, so he recklessly appeared in her room.

Dumbledore's expression became stern, and after a moment's thought, he said, "It seems that I have to use that power." ”

As soon as his words fell, Catherine was horrified to find that the sword in her hand was burning, and she hurriedly threw it away, and the golden flames engulfed the sword in mid-air, but instead of disappearing, they pounced on the girl.

Catherine hurriedly turned to escape, but the golden flames blocked her way, and then the flames shrank and flicked, turning into a net of fire that surrounded her. Seeing that there was no way out, she simply gave up her intention to escape, and turned to look at Dumbledore again, who had already picked up her wand.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Catherine asked coldly.

"I told you, I want to prove your origins." Dumbledore's face in the darkness became afloat in the light of the swaying fire.

Catherine no longer made any moves, instead watched with a blank face as Dumbledore cast a spell on her, only to surprise both of them that none of the spells worked on her.

In the end, Catherine even boldly reached out and touched the net of fire, without any temperature, which she thought was her hallucination, but the burning clothes proved their existence, and the girl who did not want to run naked had to stay in the net obediently.

Seeing the old man's increasingly strict expression, Catherine asked without any emotion, "Have you proved my background?" Mr. Dumbledore. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't prove your origins right now." Dumbledore's tone was tinged with frustration.

"Can you let me go, then?" Catherine asked calmly.

"Of course, it's just," Dumbledore hesitated, "I have to erase your memory." ”

When Catherine heard this, she immediately wanted to rush out of the fire net, but the flames around her suddenly became like ropes, and trapped Catherine tightly.

"Hel......" Catherine could only make a single sound before Dumbledore pointed his wand at her, and consciousness vanished.

Snape felt something bounce out of his body and returned to his office, finding himself completely soaked and Catherine unconscious.

"Enervate!" Snape carried Catherine to the couch, shouted at her with his wand, and took the potion out of his pocket and poured it into Catherine's mouth.

"Found it?" As soon as she woke up, Catherine nervously asked.

Snape nodded, took the meditation basin to Catherine's side, raised his wand, pointed the tip of the wand at his temple, took out some of the thought fibers, ripped them off and gently placed them in the meditation basin, and then the wand pointed at them and poked them lightly, and the thought fibers began to spin rapidly, and finally became transparent, reappearing the two memory fragments he had just seen.

"It's no wonder that during the Christmas holiday the year before last, as soon as I saw the headmaster in the Mirror of Eris in flames, I actually fainted directly, it turned out that I had touched the Oblivion Charm." Catherine sighed after reading it.

"It's the first time I've seen him like this!" Snape couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "He's not up to the mark!" ”

"He's going to be even more wolfy!" Catherine suddenly mused, "You know my habits very well. ”

"Do you still have memories after you lose consciousness?" Snape asked.

"It's incredible, but it's there." Catherine took out her wand, took out a thought fiber and put it in the meditation basin, but the scattered memories were pitch black, "Although there are no images, I remember the sounds." ”

Snape listened intently, and sure enough, he heard Dumbledore's voice:

"Sure enough, it's much harder when you're unconscious than when you're awake!"

"Thankfully, this isn't the first time I've encountered this situation."

"Good! I've got to take you to the medical wing now! ”

"Hey! It looks like it can only be the same as last time. ”

"Let's go! Let's go to the Medical Wing! ”

A conversation between him and Madam Pomfrey ensued.

"This is the first time you've been in the medical wing?" Snape looked at Catherine in shock.

"Yes!" Catherine said helplessly, "Looks like we're going to have to continue." ”

The fourth weekend, they tried again, but Snape found no other clues, and it seemed that these were the only two fragments that Catherine had forgotten.

Because the final exam was due to be held on June 1st, they did not try again, and at breakfast three days before the exam, Professor Sprout announced that the mandrake was ready to be harvested, and that afternoon Snape had prepared a resurrection potion, and the three patients who had been petrified woke up after taking it, and Colin was said to have rolled off the hospital bed in fright when he saw Professor Potions.

To celebrate their recovery, dinner turned into a small feast, with the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students surrounding Colin Creevey and Justin Finchlerie to tell them what had happened next, while the Ravenclaws curiously gathered around Nick and asked him how he felt after being petrified, with Slytherin eating quietly until Dumbledore suddenly spoke.

"First of all, since Mr. Creevey and Mr. Finreli have missed almost the entire school year, I declare that they do not have to take their final exams!" Gryffindor and Hufflepuff immediately erupted in cheers, and when they had quieted down, Dumbledore added, "Of course, you still have to make up your homework, so please remember to ask the professor." ”

It's a bit of a pity, but after all, it's more exciting not to have an exam, so Colin and Justin both forget about the make-up class, and they later learn about the pain.

"I'm going to reward some of the people who helped keep the professor safe at Hogwarts last Christmas, so I'm going to announce just the final bonus points:

Ravenclaw plus 30 points;

Hufflepuff Plus 40 points;

Gryffindor plus 60 points;

Slytherin 80 points. ”

The Slytherin students couldn't help but look up, since Snape was in a good mood this academic year, so excluding Quidditch scores, Slytherin House has always been second only to Ravenclaw, and this extra fifty points allowed them to successfully overtake, now they just need to make sure that the score in the last Quidditch match is not lower than the other three houses.

"Finally, I would like to present a special contribution award to the student who made an outstanding contribution to the 'Secret Room Incident' - Miss Catherine!" Dumbledore announced loudly, and everyone turned their heads in shock.

Catherine twitched her brow imperceptibly, she really didn't understand why Dumbledore gave her this award, although she did make a lot of effort in it, but it only reminded her of Voldemort's predecessor, Tom Riddle.

"Please come on stage to receive the award!" Dumbledore shouted again, and Catherine smiled and walked up to him, taking the golden medal.

"Can I change it to a bonus?" Catherine asked in a whisper.

"Can't!" Dumbledore blinked happily.

"Come here, two of you!" Colin's voice suddenly rang out beside him, and both Dumbledore and Catherine reflexively put on a posture of harmonious coexistence.

"Click!" After the flash light came on, the two remembered that they and the other could not be of the same mind.

After the celebratory dinner, before the students could regain their calm mood, the final exams began, and all the theory exams were still held in the same large classroom as last year, written with a quill pen with a spell to prevent cheating, which was simply superfluous for Catherine, because whether she cheated or not, the theory exam was definitely a perfect score.

The first practical exam is the Transfiguration class, where Professor McGonagall asks them to turn a teacup into a mouse; Then came the spell, and Professor Flitwick told them to fix a vase. Catherine had done it all this year, and she peeked at both professors who gave her high marks.

The Potions class is to make zuò a swelling agent; The herbology class is to pick the fruit of raspberries, both of which Catherine has a perfect score for guò. The Defence Against the Dark Arts class was a disarming charm, a spell that Catherine had mastered in her first year, but Dumbledore didn't score well.

After the final exams, it was the last Quidditch match of the semester, and in order to ensure that Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup, Catherine offered to be the goalkeeper, and Ravenclaw could only hope to catch the Golden Snitch in advance.
