Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

"What have you done! Why are you here!"

Hermione laughed:

"I?"

"Wasn't it you who called them over?"

Talos's eyes widened in fury: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Hermione shook her head helplessly.

"It seems you really can't remember anything at all."

Then, with a wave of his wand, a mysterious energy surged into Talos's mind.

Talos felt his memories gradually loosening, and images appeared in his mind.

Chapter 112 Lockhart's Highlight Moment

The confusion in Talos's eyes faded, replaced by fear and disbelief.

He stared intently at Hermione, his voice hoarse: "What...did you do to me?"

"It's nothing, just a slight adjustment to your memory," Hermione said casually.

“I used the Oblivion Curse to erase the memory of you being afflicted by the Imperius Curse.”

"To make you forget that you were the one who actively gathered all the Skrulls, and then..."

Hermione paused deliberately, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground.

Talos's face turned ashen, and he staggered backward, his eyes filled with despair and indignation.

"You...why did you do this?"

Hermione tilted her head slightly.

"why?"

"Of course, it's for the peace of the Earth." Her tone was matter-of-fact.

This is true.

Eliminating this group of potential threats was one of the few good things she did genuinely without expecting any reward.

Talos stared intently at Hermione, his face filled with resentment.

"We are just a group of interstellar refugees persecuted by the Kree. We came to Earth simply to find a place to live, and we have not done anything to harm Earth..."

He tried to defend himself.

Hermione interrupted coldly: "Is that so?"

"Now that Earth has accepted you, you should behave yourselves and live honestly, instead of thinking all day about how to usurp the nest and become the host."

Hermione paused, then said, "What you've done reminds me of a creature called grilled squid, which is just like you."

Talos's body trembled slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately kept his mouth shut.

Aren't you afraid of revealing your true colors?

After a long while, Talos finally managed to squeeze out those words through gritted teeth.

Hermione gave a dismissive smile.

"What does your internal power struggle among the Skrulls, which ends in mutual slaughter, have to do with me? I wasn't even there."

A flicker of despair crossed Talos's eyes; he knew he probably wouldn't be able to escape today.

"You...you won't get away with this..." He gritted his teeth, his voice resolute.

"Even if I die, Fury will definitely find out the truth..."

Hermione curled her lip in disdain.

"Frey?"

"Do you really think he has time to deal with your petty affairs?"

"Don't worry, you won't leave any corpses behind."

"From the outside, it would appear that you simply disappeared during the Skrull infighting."

She paused, then said sarcastically, "And do you really think Fury's biggest concern right now is you?"

"The lurking moles within S.H.I.E.L.D. are his biggest headache right now."

After saying that, Hermione ignored Talos and casually waved her hand, causing a burst of blazing flames to erupt.

Flames coalesced in the air into a ferocious giant serpent, roaring as it lunged at Talos.

Talos didn't even get to utter a complete scream before he was engulfed by the raging flames.

In the blink of an eye, not even ashes remained; it vanished completely from this world.

……

Hogwarts.

The auditorium was noisy.

Professor McGonagall stood on the high platform, her face serious.

The students huddled together, buzzing incessantly, their faces screaming, "Are you kidding me?"

Just now, Professor McGonagall told them that the petrification incident that had been making headlines at Hogwarts recently has been investigated and the truth has been revealed.

The mastermind behind it all has been successfully eliminated by Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, and Hogwarts has once again become the safest place.

Not only that, he also brewed an antidote for mandrake, which quickly restored the petrified students to their normal activity levels.

The students looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Lockhart?

That Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who does nothing but brag and pose?

Did he solve the petrification incident in the locked room?

What's even more unacceptable is that Professor Lockhart not only killed the Basilisk, but also destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Although I don't know what Horcruxes are, anything associated with the "mysterious man" must be terrifying.

But since Professor McGonagall had said so, they had no choice but to believe her for now.

That's right, the mastermind behind this is still our beloved Voldemort... Hermione secretly rejoiced at the students' shocked expressions.

"To commend Professor Lockhart's heroic act, I propose we all give him a round of applause!" said Professor McGonagall.

She then led the applause.

Sparse applause broke out.

Lockhart strode onto the platform, his signature bright smile making him look like a third wheel.

He waved to the students below the stage.

"Thank you everyone, thank you Professor McGonagall, thank you Hogwarts!"

Lockhart's voice is characterized by its fiery passion.

"It is my honor to be able to do something for Hogwarts!"

He took a deep breath and began to recount his "heroic deeds."

"That night, I sneaked into the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin all by myself..."

He vividly described how he outwitted and outmaneuvered the Basilisk and Voldemort, how he used his superb magic to defeat them, and how he finally rescued the reckless Harry Ron and the others.

Lockhart's voice rose higher and higher, as if he had truly fought an epic battle.

The students listened, completely bewildered.

Although they still found it a bit unbelievable, Lockhart's story was so captivating that they couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.

Every now and then, someone would exclaim "Wow!"

Lockhart was secretly delighted.

He enjoys the feeling of being praised to the skies and loves the adoring looks in the students' eyes.

At the very back of the auditorium.

Hermione stood there, her expression a half-smile.

Upon noticing her, Lockhart's smile froze for a second, but he immediately returned to normal.

He knew that it was all Hermione's arrangement.

He was just an actor, trying his best to play the role Hermione needed.

But so what?

At least, he is now a hero at Hogwarts, admired and loved by everyone.

This is his moment to shine, and he will seize this opportunity to reverse the students' stereotypes about him!
