During the three-week Christmas break, Lockhart did not leave Hogwarts. For this reason, Hermione did not go home, and kept pestering Lockhart, eager to move the dormitory to live with Lockhart, and secretly got into Lockhart's bedroom every night, and then the two of them were ashamed to get into the bed...... Honey mixes oil, water comes out of oil, water melts, Lockhart seems to be taking drugs, and he only stops after absorbing enough of Hermione's body fluids.

Lockhart is now more and more obsessed with the smell of Hermione's body, and after Hermione admitted that he put his own blood in the box of ** medicine, he even wanted to suck Hermione's blood to see if it could alleviate this special **, but he was afraid that he would accidentally become a vampire, so he didn't dare to try.

――

In January, Hogwarts reopened, and Lockhart was once again in the spotlight of the British wizarding world, and his story of destroying the Dementors for the Ministry of Magic and removing a major evil for the whole of England, combined with his previous glorious deeds, brought his reputation to new heights.

The Merlin Order had decided to award Lockhart a first-class medal, but Lockhart claimed that he did not have time to receive the award, so they thoughtfully mailed it to him in an owl.

During the Christmas holidays, when Pandora returns home, Lockhart barely pays attention to the fact that he is with Hermione, which seems to have led some rumors to reach Pandora's ears. This time Pandora was really angry, and no matter what Lockhart tried to explain, she refused to pay any more attention to him, much to Lockhart's annoyance.

To make matters worse, his conversation with Draco Malfoy and Snape on Christmas party was overheard by Harry. Harry no longer trusted him as brainlessly as he used to, but went around telling the members of the Order of the Phoenix that Snape and Lockhart were traitors who helped the Death Eaters, much to Lockhart's annoyance - of course, the adults of the Order of the Phoenix wouldn't take Harry's word for it, and Dumbledore knew what was going on.

Lockhart walked up to the podium with a straight face: "Today, we are going to have a preliminary understanding of the principle of the Drill Heart Mantra. Now open the book, turn to page 130, and read the first two paragraphs of the Heart Drilling Mantra......"

Lockhart propped himself on the podium and looked at the students below, Malfoy and Pandora both stared at the book and ignored him, Hermione looked up at him for a moment, and Harry glared at him. Lockhart glared back angrily, this kid, the entire Order of the Phoenix is trying to protect him, he actually suspects one in the east and one in the west, it is simply unreasonable. I don't know how Snape has endured Harry's hatred and suspicion for so many years, anyway, Lockhart said he couldn't accept it.

"Potter, answer the principle of the Mind Drill Spell. Lockhart finally understood why Snape was targeting Harry, and he stared at him so much that he almost subconsciously ordered him to answer the question.

"I don't know, Professor!" replied Harry bluntly.

"If you don't know, keep reading!" Lockhart said angrily, "Because of your poor learning attitude, Gryffindor will deduct 10 points!"

Hermione immediately raised her hand, and after waiting for a few seconds for no one to raise her hand again, Lockhart had to let her answer.

"The principle of the Heart Drill Mantra is to use the spell to stimulate the nerves of the person and make the person who is under the spell feel pain. ”

"Okay, sit down, Gryffindor plus 10 points. Lockhart nodded helplessly, "That's the general principle, more information is not provided in the book, and I can only paraphrase it from some literature and make reasonable guesses." ”

"The way the Mind Drill works is to create an electrical current in the victim's nerves that changes the neurotransmitters between the neurons, but of course, I don't really understand what these are. In short, the guò spell is used to make the victim's brain receive the message of pain, and then complete the purpose of torturing him. ”

Lockhart subconsciously glanced at Neville and reluctantly continued to explain: "It should be noted that this pain is not an illusion, and the human brain does receive the information of pain. Lockhart took out the prepared cage, and inside was a small mouse. "This spell was once abused, and the Death Eaters used it to torture opponents, or to interrogate prisoners when the truth potion ran out or was ineffective, and the superior Death Eaters used it to punish their erring men, and of course the most common thing was to walk down the street and give anyone who was upset, it was really a dark time......"

"Now I'm going to show you that. ”

The students below were all noisy, and they all looked up at the lectern, where the poor little mouse didn't know that he had become a test subject, and was gnawing on something in the corner.

Lockhart carefully pointed his wand at it: "Drill the heart and cut the bones." ”

"Squeak-" The little mouse suddenly ran frantically around the cage, but then found that he could not get rid of the pain, and crouched in a corner screaming and trembling in pain.

"Professor......" "Stop!" "Don't get it!"

The rat's scream caused an uproar, and the students stopped Lockhart from continuing the demonstration.

"Looks miserable, doesn't it? Lockhart paused, "But I had no ill will towards the rat just now, so it may just feel pinprick pain." There are currently two speculations, the mainstream view: in the spell of Piercing Heart, what works is the malice contained in it, and the magic is only the carrier, so the effect of the Drill Heart Spell is only affected by the strength of the malice. ”

Lockhart took down the cage containing the rats and saw that none of the students below were moving, and Lockhart reminded, "Write it down." After a few seconds of waiting, Lockhart continued, "There's also a recently advanced argument that it's magic that stimulates people's nerves, but that the caster's malice has an amplifying effect on the stimulation of magic. Both views are supported by some practical results, and I am not at a good time to draw conclusions. ”

After the following students had finished remembering, Lockhart continued: "As we just said, the pain caused by the Heart Drilling Mantra is not an illusion, although the human body is not injured, the pain is real, and the pain is theoretically fatal......"

"So the brain, in order to protect itself, sometimes stuns people and even drives them crazy to avoid death......" Lockhart looked at Neville, who clenched his fists, and Lockhart nodded slightly at him as a sign of comfort. "We don't need to learn the Diamond Curse, you know, even the Aurors can only legally use the Death Curse and the Imperius Curse of the Unforgivable Curse when dealing with cases - it is illegal for anyone, under any circumstances, to use the Curse of Penetration on someone else!"

Lockhart's last sentence suddenly raised his voice, startling some of the students who had deserted.

"Misuse of the Heart Drill Spell can change people's minds, which is one of the reasons why it is an unforgivable spell, but all spells are innocent in themselves, and the problem is with the person who uses the spell...... But in any case, this kind of spell is almost useless in battle, and can only be used to torture people, and it actually has no meaning. ”

"But it's been circulating, not gone, so- what are we going to do with the Mind Curse?"

The students sitting below had listened to Lockhart's lessons for a few years, and they knew Lockhart's routine clearly: "Don't give the enemy a chance to cast spells on you!", "Don't get caught!" "Knock the opponent down first!"

"Well, that's right, plus ten points for each house. Lohart nodded, "It's best not to give the other party a chance to torture you." So, what if you get caught. ”

At this time, it is important to remember that courage is expressed in battle, not at this time. "Especially the little Gryffindor guys, listen up, once you are caught by a dark wizard and he wants to use the Diamond Heart Charm against you, never taunt him, don't provoke him, don't say any nonsense." 'Ah, it doesn't hurt at all!', 'Use some more magic, haven't you eaten?', 'Let the Mind Drill Charm be more violent.' 'All these things are the words of fools!'

Although Lockhart was not in a good mood enough to keep a straight face, his vivid presentation still caused laughter from the students.

"At this time, the only correct thing to do is to run the Occlumenclumy surgery with all your might, to eliminate as much pain as possible from the sensation, and try to hold on for as long as possible, after all, it is still possible for rescue to come. Lockhart pressed his hand and motioned for silence, "If you think you're acting enough, you'd better pretend to be dying of torture right away, and if possible, try to escape while the other person is out of vigilance - of course, I've never heard of anyone running away anyway, except in novels." ”

"I hope all of you don't have the opportunity to be used in your life, but you still have to ......do your homework," Lockhart said, closing the textbook, "what point of view do you support about the principle of the Mind Curse, and why?" Write an essay. Of course, if you have a more novel idea, you are welcome to bring it up, and no matter how bizarre the idea, as long as it is supported by evidence, it may be correct. ”
