Chapter 64 after the Transfiguration
The crack continued to stretch, and there was the creeping sound of creatures inside, and then the second crack appeared, then the third, and the fourth, and after a while, there was a "click", and the eggshell broke a hole, and a slimy human hand reached out, and the human hand touched the surroundings, and then grabbed the hole in the eggshell, and then there was a click, and a fist rushed out of the eggshell.
Both hands were tucked into the eggshell, and the egg fell silent and began to cease to break, as if the creature in the egg was brewing something!
"Bang!" A huge burst of magic burst out from the egg, and there was a clattering sound, and cracks spread everywhere on the eggshell, and the giant egg cracked all at once. A figure poked its head out of an eggshell.
The figure laboriously came out of it, covered with a slimy transparent liquid, covering all the body, and the man wiped it with his hand, revealing a mouth. He sat on the ground and gasped, as if a drowning person suddenly breathed fresh air, after resting for a while, there was a certain mysterious sound from the abdomen of the figure, he hesitated for a while, grabbed the broken eggshell on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, and there was a loud chewing sound from inside, as the eggshell on the ground continued to decrease, the mucus began to be continuously absorbed by the skin, and the figure began to gradually become taller.
As the last piece of eggshell was eaten into his stomach, all the mucus on his body was gone, revealing the newborn skin that was as white and tender as a baby underneath, and he stood up and walked to the mirror, carefully examining himself inside. Compared to the past, the new body is longer and thinner, and the limbs and fingers have become slender and elegant, and it looks like it has grown a little taller. The muscles of the whole body are still very obvious, not big, and it is very suitable for a new body.
After this dangerous magic transformation, Joe's most important shortcoming was filled, and this time his total mana took a big leap. Imagine the days gone by. Although he knows a lot of powerful magic, he doesn't dare to release it in battle because he is worried about the consumption of mana, even if he releases it once in a while, it is tied, and it will greatly weaken Joe's combat endurance. For example, the small fire spell last time, although it played a very key role in the battle, but in terms of power・・・・・・, it was simply a shame for the fire user! And after that, Joe basically had no strength to release other powerful spells, which was also one of the important reasons why Joe lost to Voldemort. And now, Joe's magic is finally no longer at the bottom of the grade! his total magic power has surpassed Harry's, reaching the level of an adult wizard. Thinking of this, Joe couldn't help but sigh with emotion! Finally, he has changed from a beggar who can't open the pot to a middle-class man with a house and a car! The pain and hardships along the way are unimaginable to those pure-blood wizards. After today, Lao Tzu will finally have to think about it for a long time before he finally doesn't have to cast magic! After today, Lao Tzu can finally announce loudly that Lao Tzu is no longer a low-income household with magic power, Lao Tzu is no longer a one-shot man, and Lao Tzu's current magic qualifications are no less than any pure-blood wizard!
In addition to the various benefits mentioned above, the magic transformation also brought a lot of surprises: now Joe's physical fitness has made a big leap compared to before, and the strength, speed, endurance, and physical strength of the body are also several times stronger than before. The most pleasing thing is that Joe's thinking speed and nerve reflex speed have also increased, which means that Joe has a faster spell release speed, more accurate judgment, and stronger dodge ability in battle, which is an important asset to tilt the balance of victory in Joe's favor in the next heads-up with Riddle and in the future wizarding wars.
He put on his robes, saddled his backpack, and pulled his wand from his wand holster. This time, maybe it was because of the transplanted phoenix's DNA that made the phoenix feather at the wand core feel close, maybe it was the previous battle with Riddle that made the wand and Joe have a tacit understanding, or maybe it was Joe's years of careful care that made it finally accept this master, and he actually clearly felt the joy and longing of the wand in his hand, as if the wand had seen a loved one he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Thank you for your trust!" As soon as Joe's words fell, he felt a wave of warmth flow into his hand, and his wand was actively responding to Joe's thanks.
"Now, we finally have the capital to go head-to-head with Riddle. The ancients said: Three days of Shibei, be impressed! Riddle, this time I want to make you look good!"
The wand trembled slightly, and a large string of golden flames burst out from its tip, and the high-pitched chirping of a phoenix came from the flames.
In the past few days since Joe's transformation, a lot of things have happened at Hogwarts, first someone found the writing on the wall, and then found that Ginny, Luna, and Joe were missing, and the whole of Hogwarts went into a state of emergency alert, and the acting headmaster, Professor McGonagall, had begun to consider whether to send the students home. Harry and Ron followed the information they got from Hagrid - they followed the spider and found Aragog, the pet eight-eyed giant spider raised by Hagrid 50 years ago, and learned a part about the secret room 50 years ago, and then Harry and Ron learned that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk from the petrified Hermione's right hand, and deduced how it moved, and reversely deduced the true idea of each accident. Next, they learn that the crying myrtle is the student who was killed 50 years ago, and finally deduce that the entrance to the secret room is in the abandoned girls' bathroom.
Then they overheard the professors' taunts about Lockhart, but unfortunately the two of them did not have high emotional intelligence, or they rushed to the hospital because someone close to them was missing, but the two of them found Lockhart and asked him for help, only to find him packing up to escape from Hogwarts. His office was almost completely emptied. Two large suitcases were placed on the floor open. Clothes of various colors, emerald green, lavender, and dark blue, were stacked haphazardly in one of the suitcases. Books of all kinds were piled up in a mess in another suitcase. It turned out that the pictures hanging on the wall were stuffed into a cardboard box on the table.
"Where are you going?" asked Harry.
"Well, yes, yes," Lockhart said, ripping a life-size poster of himself from behind the door and rolling it up, "I've got an urgent notice...... Can't hide from ...... Had to go ......."
"And what about my sister?" Ron asked impulsively.
"Ah, as for that thing - how unfortunate. Lockhart said, avoiding their gaze and pulling open a drawer and packing the contents into a large bag, "There is no one more sorry than I have—"
"You're the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher!" Harry said, "You can't go now! there's so much evil going on here!"
"This, this, how do you say it...... When I took the job...... Lockhart muttered indistinctly, piling his socks on top of the suitcase, "the work regulations didn't include ...... I didn't expect ......"
"You mean you're going to run away?" said Harry in disbelief, "but you've written so many great books?"
"Books don't have to be true!" Harry's voice came from behind Joe's voice, "but I promise you, those events definitely happened!"
Lockhart's face turned pale all of a sudden.
"Joe!" Harry shouted in surprise, "I thought you ・・・・・・"
"Luna and Ginny are indeed in the Chamber of Secrets, it's complicated! I won't be able to tell for a while! But I don't suggest you ask Professor Lockhart for help. Because a master of the Oblivion Spell with a slightly lower discipline is not very credible. Trust me, it's a breeze to keep your intellect at three years old and leave no trace. ”
"What do you mean by that. Lockhart quibbled in a panic.
"I thought I was talking about it!" Joe continued to mercilessly expose Lockhart's true colors, "Those times are real, you just cast a superb amnesia curse on the owner of those events!"
"What about those books! You wrote those books. Harry shouted.
"My dear child," Lockhart straightened up, frowning at Harry, "think about it with your common sense. If I didn't make people think that I did all of that, the book wouldn't sell well. Readers won't want to read about an ugly old American wizard who saved a village from the scourge of werewolves. Put his picture on the cover, and it won't be hard to look at. He has no taste at all in his clothes. And the witch who banished the ghost of Wanlun, she's an open-mouthed! I mean, think about it......"
"So you're going to erase their memories and keep all the other people's things on your own account?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Harry, Harry," Lockhart said, shaking his head impatiently, "it's not as simple as you say. I have a lot of work. I'm going to track these people. Ask them how exactly they were able to do that. Then I'm going to cast an amnesia spell on them so they can forget about it completely. If there's anything I'm proud of, it's my Oblivion Curse. You know, Harry, I'm going to have to work a lot, a lot. You know, it's not just book autographs and celebrity photos. If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to work hard for a long time. He said as he reached for the wand at his waist.
"I'm sorry, boys, but I can't let you spread my secrets all over the place. Otherwise, I won't want to sell my book......"
"Forget about it. He shouted, and Joe felt a powerful spell come at the three of them.
Lockhart's Oblivion Spell really deserves its name, but Joe, who is familiar with his character, has been paying attention to his small movements, so the moment he issued the spell, Joe preemptively laid a silent iron armor spell, and the Oblivion Spell hit it and was directly bounced back, hitting Lockhart. He flew high and then crashed into the wall and fainted.
The inertia of the plot is really big, Joe thought silently in his heart. "Alright, Harry, Ron. He said, "I think you should know the information about the secret room, let's go rescue Ginny and Luna!"
