It wasn't too surprising to find Dumbledore hiding in the shadows, after all, the series of traps that the protagonist trio went through when they came here was more like a test than a real way to stop Voldemort with them.

Now Locke was hesitant to show that he knew the Divine Fire Charm in front of Dumbledore, but thinking of the famous 'merits' of the previous users of the Fierce Fire Charm, Locke finally chose to recite the Divine Fire Charm when he raised his hand.

Although Locke can cast spells without spells, but with ordinary magic, Locke can cast spells without spells and does not reduce power, but top spells such as the Divine Fire Spell are different.

If he didn't recite the spell, the power of the Divine Fire Spell would be reduced by half, so he used his mind to manipulate the magic bird to entangle Voldemort's remnant soul, and at the same time he stretched out his finger and chanted the incantation, and bright flames appeared on his fingertips.

Sensing that something was wrong, Voldemort's remnant wanted to speed up and reunite and escape, but Locke's movements were fast, and the fire from his fingertips instantly expanded with the end of the spell, enveloping the remnant soul of the black mist.

Almost instantly, after a faint short scream, Voldemort's remnant quickly disappeared into the air, and the walls of fire around the room were finally extinguished, and the only thing still burning was the divine fire cast by Locke in mid-air.

Reciting the incantation again, Locke extinguished the flame before looking at Harry:

"I thought you were just young and curious, but I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble, if it wasn't for Hermione to send me a message, I wouldn't know, the Dark Lord is famous in the wizarding world, as a student, it's better for you to stay away."

Harry was stunned at this time, and he didn't seem to fully react to the situation in front of him, and Locke glanced at him, and didn't know if he had listened to his words.

"Okay, the matter has been settled, but I still have to report to the school, after all, the experience is not a small thing, and the philosopher's stone in your pocket, I don't know how many wizards want to get it, even I am very excited."

Locke glanced at Harry meaningfully, causing him to unconsciously cover his pockets, and then walked back without hesitation.

He didn't pay much attention to where Dumbledore was hiding, he didn't want the other party to know what he had noticed, and for the time being, leaving a good impression on him would be very helpful to Locke's plan.

The remnant soul of Voldemort just now was restrained by Harry, and Locke chose to sneak attack without hesitation, and he was solved without exerting his strength at all, and it can be said that he died a very aggrieved death.

In fact, Voldemort is always a little worse as a boss in many film and television dramas, although he seems to be terrible in various descriptions, full of force, and many wizards tremble when they mention him, but the process of being killed several times is not worthy of his identity at all, and the first feeling is'That's it?' ’

"Teacher!" Returning to the wizard's room, Hermione immediately came over to save Locke's arm, as if to check if Locke was injured, and asked, "Have you solved Snape?" ”

"Oops!" Hermione was directly played by Locke, and while rubbing her head, she said, "Why did you suddenly play me?!" ”

"This is to teach you a lesson, this time it is not Snape who is behind it, but Professor Quirrell, who is possessed by Voldemort."

Locke said: "This is to teach you a lesson, I said before, it is impossible for Snape to hurt Harry, you are suspicious, and you are almost injured, you can't do this in the future." ”

"I see." Hermione was still a little unconvinced, but in the face of Locke's serious eyes, she could only nod obediently.

As for Ron, who had just woken up on the other side, there were still some people who didn't understand why he suddenly became Professor Quirrell, thinking about it, he looked at Harry with questioning eyes, hoping that Harry would give an answer.

But at this time, Harry was still immersed in everything he had just experienced, and Gen was not aware of Ron's eyes, which was kind of flattering to the blind man.

At this time, Dumbledore finally 'arrived' with a few professors, Locke didn't know how he did it anyway, Hogwarts was full of anti-shapeshifting spells, was his strength too strong, or did he leave a back door for himself?

Glancing at a few people, Dumbledore then said to Harry, who was still still a little stunned, "How are you, Harry, is there anything hurt?" I don't think you're in great shape. ”

"No, I mean...... I don't have anything. Harry Potter came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "It was Professor Quirrell who broke into here, I mean it was Professor Quirrell when I actually saw it, and we had been suspicious of Professor Snape before...... Professor Quirrell, he seems to be possessed by Voldemort......"

Harry recounted the story of the incident in some fits and starts, and in the process, Dumbledore guided him with some appropriate questions, and finally everyone understood what had happened.

"So Harry is right, right?" When Harry finished speaking, Dumbledore looked at Locke: "Tom's remnant soul was destroyed by you?" ”

"I used the Divine Fire Spell." Locke shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ordinary magic has a limited effect, I have tried many spells but Voldemort's remnant soul has no effect, at most it hinders his movements, but the Divine Fire Spell has an immediate effect." ”

"The Divine Fire Charm is not so easy to learn, and the average wizard who graduated from Hogwarts is not even qualified to learn it." Dumbledore seemed to sigh and said, "Mr. Locke, your talent is much better than your graduation transcript shows. ”

"I just had a sudden enlightenment, I was attacked by a Death Eater a few months ago, and after that, I put all my heart and soul into learning magic.

Because I was just an ordinary Muggle, I had no relatives to rely on in the wizarding world, so I could only work hard and protect myself with magic. ”

Locke replied lightly, using his past experience and Muggle background to imply that he could not be a Death Eater.

Dumbledore didn't continue to dwell on the matter of the Divine Fire Curse, and then asked Locke and Ron Hermione a few more questions, only to confirm the cause and effect, and knew that Locke was here because of Hermione's request for help.

The older he gets, the more suspicious he becomes, and Dumbledore confirms that Locke is only getting close to Hermione this time because he is 'in the right place', and from his experience, it seems that he is completely at odds with the Death Eaters.

Thinking of Locke's attack by the Death Eaters, Dumbledore didn't continue to ask, he remembered that Locke had donated a sum of money to the school afterwards, and then stayed in the library for a long time.

There are professors in and out of the library, and every time they can see Locke reading and studying with different magic books, it can be said that they have forgotten to sleep and eat.

Now it seems that Locke's talent in magic is still very strong, after all, the Divine Fire Charm is not so easy to learn, at least among the professors at Hogwarts, the ability to cast it can be counted on one hand.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore thought to himself that maybe he could win over Locke and let him deal with Voldemort together, after all, he had already eliminated one of Voldemort's remnants, and there was no room for relaxation between him and Voldemort.

With a thought in his mind, Dumbledore looked at Harry and said, "Okay, Mr. Locke, you and Professor McGonagall take Harry and they will go to the infirmary first, and I will have to deal with the situation here." ”
