"Fix it as new!"

Ike waved his wand, and the scattered pieces of wood and dirt went backwards back to its original position as if it had gone back in time. After a while, the ground was leveled again, and the screaming shack returned to its original state.

There is always a sense of emptiness after the Great War, not only because of the consumption of mana, but also because of the false satisfaction of trying to get rewarded. Walking to the door of the shack in three or two steps, and sat down on the steps, Ike's face showed a hint of exhaustion for the first time.

"What's wrong? Hermione. ”

Looking up at the little witch with a complicated expression in front of him, Ike asked with a smile.

"Ike...... What's going on? Hermione stood in place, her hands clenched in the cuffs of her robes, "The man...... I mean, that's a mystery guy? ”

"Of course not." Ike shook his head, "He's just a split soul of the Dark Lord, when he was in his sixth year. ”

"Sixth grade?"

"That's right. The Dark Lord's real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and he is the same as Hagrid. ”

"If you ask Hagrid, he'll tell you."

There was a hint of surprise in Hermione's eyes, but she quickly caught the point of Ike's words.

"Splinter souls? So what? ”

"A very evil dark magic, and the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality." Ike casually explained, "It was the dark magic invented by the dastardly Helpo, who brutally killed an innocent person in order to preserve the soul split in a specific object. ”

"That way, if the item is not destroyed, the person will never really die. Even if the main body is destroyed or killed, there is hope for resurrection. ”

"And this item that holds the soul fragment is the Horcrux."

Hermione quickly thought of last year's turmoil: "So the mystery man was going to steal the Philosopher's Stone last year?" ”

"That's right." Ike nodded, "Because of Harry, his original body was destroyed, but since the Horcrux wasn't destroyed, he wouldn't really die." ”

"If the Dark Lord really gets the Philosopher's Stone and successfully concocts the elixir, he will really come back intact."

The act of telling the secret in this way made people look honest, and Hermione's guard relaxed a little. Slowly walking over to Ike and sitting down, the little witch sighed softly and asked, "What is that snake you took out of my head earlier?" How could it be in my head? ”

"To be exact, I didn't take it out of your head." Ike turned his head to look at Hermione and explained seriously, "It's in your soul, and Senior Roger has one there. ”

"This is also a very vicious, evil black magic, it will unwittingly suck a person's life and feed back to the spellcaster, and there were many evil dark wizards before the Middle Ages who used this magic to maintain their life."

"I remember that there was a copy of the Ancient Dark Arts Secret Book in the library, and it had a record of it. In fact, I think the witch hunt of the Middle Ages had a lot to do with this black magic. ”

"You know, dark wizards have no scruples, and in order to continue to live, they will even suck life from village to village."

Hermione was stunned, her mind quickly recalling the books in the library, and she swore that there was no copy of the Ancient Dark Arts in it.

"You...... You went to the forbidden book section? ”

"Of course." Ike replied, "It's not that students are not allowed to enter the no-go zone, except for getting a letter from the professor, as long as you don't get caught, it's no different from any other place." ”

"As I recall, Harry has been to the forbidden area quite a few times, it seems like he went there last school year."

Looking at Hermione, who was a little surprised, Ike continued, "Hermione, the daily teaching at Hogwarts is not enough for people like you and me. Instead of spending most of your time reviewing and preparing, you should study something else on your own. ”

"At this point, it is very necessary to learn the Transfiguration Charm."

"Okay, I'll go back and learn." Hermione nodded, taking the matter to heart. She felt that she had found the reason why Ike was strong, and that she would definitely catch up soon if she knew.

When it comes to learning, Hermione is not left behind.

"That's right, the Chamber of Secrets!" Hermione suddenly remembered what she had been looking into with Harry and Ron for almost a whole year, "The crisis in the Chamber of Secrets has not been resolved!" That man...... Is it the heir of Slytherin? ”

"Yes, he is indeed the heir of Slytherin, and the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets. But rest assured, the problem of the secret room has been solved. ”

"I want to think about it...... It's been about half a year? ”

"Half a year!" Hermione's voice suddenly became louder, and she suddenly felt that this was a bit rude, so she quickly lowered her voice, "I mean, the crisis in the secret room was resolved half a year ago?" And what about the monsters inside? The ......"

"The basilisk, its corpse should be in Professor Snape's private collection by now, and it may have been consumed a lot." Ike said calmly, "The professors made the hand, and the basilisk died peacefully. ”

"Then why don't you tell us!"

"Because Tom has never been caught, the crisis in the castle has not been completely resolved."

"So, Dumbledore put Hogwarts under martial law after Roger's attack?"

"That's right."

Ike stretched, his fatigue had subsided considerably after a moment's rest. Standing up, he moved his limbs slightly, looked at the bright moon overhead, and turned to Hermione, "It's time for us to go back, it's almost curfew time." ”

"It's so late?" Hermione realized it was almost 10 o'clock when she heard this, and she also stood up, "Let's go." ”

Ike nodded, but didn't move at his feet: "Of course, but before that, there is one more thing to do." ”

As soon as the words fell, he quickly drew his wand, and an explosive spell was thrown into the corner. In Hermione's surprised expression, a blonde man in a gorgeous robe rolled straight out of the corner.

Exactly Lockhart!

The wand was pointed at the rather embarrassed Lockhart, and Ike's tone was playful: "Professor Lockhart, why are you here so late?" Is it to see the scenery? ”

"Haha, haha......" Lockhart smiled awkwardly, got up and straightened his clothes, and put his trademark smile on his face, "Mr. Stred, Miss Granger, haha, the moonlight is beautiful tonight." ”

"Professor Lockhart, please answer my question." Ike was unmoved, "Why are you here?" ”

"Yes, of course...... It's ......"

"Forget it!"

Lockhart froze, and suddenly drew his wand, and an amnesia spell struck the two of them. Ike was prepared and blocked it directly. With a slight movement of his left hand, a stun spell hit Lockhart, knocking him directly to the ground and even snoring.

"Ike?" Hermione still hadn't figured out what was going on, but it was all too fast. I saw Lockhart come out, cast a spell, and then Ike easily solved it.

Recipient of the Order of Merlin, 3rd class? Honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts? A professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?

That's it?

"We'll find out in a while." Ike didn't mean to explain any more, he had already told too many secrets tonight, "We should go back." ”

"What about him?" Hermione asked, pointing to Lockhart, who was sleeping soundly on the floor.

"It's still here, we can't get him back." Ike shrugged his shoulders and walked in the direction of the beating willow.

"Alright then, let's go." Hermione followed.

After a while, the two of them reached the exit, and Ike suddenly stopped.

"By the way, Hermione, there's one more thing ......"

"What?" Hermione stopped, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Ike who was pointing her wand at her, and before she could react, she saw a soft light suddenly flash in front of her eyes, and only a spell was heard in her ears.

Forget it!
