Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Hermione's voice rose and fell with emotion, as if she were telling a legendary story.

"Everyone present can testify for you."

She added.

Lockhart was stunned.

This is exactly the script he's been dreaming of!

No, it's more exciting than any of his autobiographies!

"Of course, all of this comes at a price."

Hermione changed the subject.

"As a hero of Hogwarts, you will have to resign from your position as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Because you believe that the current Ministry of Magic is corrupt and needs your reform!"

"You need to take a position at the Ministry of Magic, or even run for Minister of Magic!"

Hermione's voice was alluring, as if painting a beautiful picture of the future.

"Of course, we will help you solve all kinds of problems behind the scenes."

"And what's the second option...?"

Lockhart said cautiously.

"The second option..."

Hermione deliberately dragged out her words.

Lockhart's heart was in his throat as he nervously awaited what would happen next.

"I will be the hero."

Hermione said it casually.

"And you, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, although you tried your best to rescue your students in the Chamber of Secrets, the enemy was too powerful and you ultimately sacrificed yourself heroically, and you will be forever remembered by everyone at Hogwarts."

Lockhart felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He had no doubt that if he chose this option, Hermione would send him on his way without hesitation.

After all, for this "witch," killing doesn't seem to be such an unacceptable thing.

"I choose the first one!"

Lockhart blurted it out almost without thinking.

Just kidding, what do fame and status matter compared to life?

Moreover, the first option is not entirely without its advantages.

According to Hermione's script, he can not only become a hero at Hogwarts, but also take this opportunity to enter the Ministry of Magic and even run for minister!

This was simply the pinnacle of his life that he had always dreamed of!

Although he knew that Hermione was definitely not doing this with good intentions and that he would most likely be used as a puppet.

But at least he is still alive and can still enjoy fame and status.

Moreover, upon closer examination, the locked-room incident is indeed an excellent opportunity.

Whether it's publishing a book, gaining fame, or participating in elections, there's much that can be accomplished.

"very good."

Hermione nodded in satisfaction.

She had long anticipated Lockhart's choice.

After all, for this vain and narcissistic guy, the allure of fame and fortune is always effective.

Hermione wasn't worried that Lockhart would change his mind later.

She has plenty of ways to control him.

Looking at Lockhart, who was both expectant and fearful, Hermione suddenly remembered something.

Does this mean she indirectly helped Lao Fu fulfill the curse?

Chapter 104 The Map Chamber and the Missing School History

Choosing the first option means Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, will resign and won't be able to serve a second year, thus fulfilling the curse.

If Lockhart chooses the second option, he will "sacrifice himself heroically," die, and be unable to work the following year, thus fulfilling the curse.

This is really...

Shaking her head, Hermione walked to the broken snake head and gently waved her wand.

As the ice gradually melted, Hermione picked up a few loose snake fangs from the ground and collected some of the basilisk's blood.

Fantastic Creatures

【The Basilisk (Already Saved)】

[A demonic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius was in the sky, and hatched by a toad. It resembles a giant snake; any creature that makes direct eye contact with it will die instantly, and any creature that makes indirect eye contact will be petrified.]

Next, Hermione picked up the destroyed copy of the diary from the ground and handed it to Luna.

The synthesis requirements for this item are very simple; only two things are needed.

Paper, fragments of Voldemort's soul.

Paper was everywhere, and the fragments of the soul were found in the Ravenclaw tiara in the Room of Requirement.

Hermione didn't want to go through all that trouble, but she had no choice. With Dumbledore's magical perception, she probably couldn't fool him with a fake Horcrux fragment, and the story wouldn't make sense.

"Alright, let's leave here first."

Hermione said to Voldemort.

"As for the cleanup, leave it to Luna. I trust she will handle it well."

She turned to look at Luna.

Luna nodded, indicating that she understood.

What's more interesting than participating in a conspiracy yourself? Conspiracy theories are nothing compared to the fun of conspiracy theories.

Hermione looked at Luna's excited expression and recalled how she should have been, and still felt a little strange.

Did she dye Luna's hair black?

As for Lockhart, he has now completely resigned himself to his fate, only hoping that Hermione will keep her promise and save his life and reputation.

After all, compared to this "witch," he was far too weak and had no chance of resisting.

What's more, there was an even more frightening guy next to her.

……

Outside the secret room, in the dimly lit corridor.

Why send Lockhart to the Ministry of Magic?

Xiao Fu's figure appeared slightly transparent, and his tone carried a hint of doubt.

Hermione didn't answer directly, but instead asked:

"What do you think will be the final result if your true self forms the Death Eaters outside, fighting and killing each other?"

Xiao Fu remained silent.

Hermione continued:

“Grindelwald’s method is far superior to his.”

"Enhance your own prestige, find a way to run for election, and seize power."

"If things hadn't gone wrong back then, you wouldn't have had the chance to become the Dark Lord."

Xiao Fu seemed to understand something; he had to admit that Hermione was right.

Although Grindelwald was also a dark wizard, his methods were clearly more "civilized" and more effective.

At least, Grindelwald came close to success at one point, and his true form...

Thinking about the fate of his original self, Xiao Fu began to doubt his decision.

"correct."

Hermione suddenly changed the subject.

"Do you know about ancient magic? Also, what major event happened at Hogwarts a hundred years ago?"

"Ancient magic?"

Xiao Fu was taken aback, then fell into memories.

He frowned, as if trying to search the corners of his memory.

“It seems… I do remember it.” He said slowly, “When I was a student, the former principal mentioned it once.”
