Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 153 Tom: You won't regret it, Mr Lockhart

Lockhart really wanted to yell if he could.

But unfortunately, he dared not do so.

Lockhart's smile froze on his face, and his appearance alone was a good work of art.

It's just that the few people present didn't have the time to appreciate his art of smiling face.

The atmosphere fell silent again, and Lockhart was very puzzled.

Is there any deep meaning in asking him this question repeatedly?

"It seems you don't remember me."

The emotion-like tone made Lockhart keep looking for information related to this person in his past memory.

He remembered the respectful title the man had given him when they first met.

Not Mr. Lockhart, but Professor Lockhart.

He knows himself.

Lockhart thought.

But I don't know him well.

"Is it really disappointing?"

Tom sighed, as if he was really disappointed by this, full of emotion in his heart.

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I still haven't remembered where I met you, sir."

Lockhart looked at this face and said very sincerely.

"No, you have seen me, Mr Lockhart."

At this moment, Tom suddenly looked into Lockhart's eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Earlier, Tom wanted to remove the "makeup" on his face to surprise Lockhart.

But before it could do so, it was destroyed.

Now, it's not too late for this surprise.

Lockhart looked dazed, and he really didn't remember when he met this mysterious person in front of him.

Tom's wand had already touched his face.

That layer of camouflage began to dissipate, revealing his true self.

Lockhart's expression, which was dazed at first, gradually changed.

From bewilderment to surprise, and from surprise to fear.

This can be described as twists and turns.

He has seen this face, just recently.

If nothing else, he will never forget this face.

A very young and handsome man with deep eyes and fair skin.

When he laughs, others can feel the joy and heartiness that comes from his heart.

It was not as gloomy as what he had seen through the screen in Hogwarts before, and there was no madness and haze in his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes are clear and deep.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a bit of laziness appeared on his face, mixed with sunshine and self-confidence.

not the same...

It was different from what he had seen.

"Now, do you know who I am?"

Looking at this handsome wizard who was only seventeen or eighteen years old in front of him, Lockhart's mouth trembled.

It never occurred to him that he would meet such an acquaintance who was not an "acquaintance" in a foreign land.

The smile on Tom's face and the playfulness in the corners of his eyes had a very good explanation at this moment.

Lockhart suppressed the panic in his heart as much as possible, and dealt with the man in front of him with an attitude corresponding to ordinary people.

"I already know who you are, sir."

"It's just, is it your bad taste to play with a person like this?"

No matter how frightened he was about the "Dark Lord" in front of him, Lockhart was unwilling to call him Lord Dark Lord.

He also has his own persistence.

"Don't be so restrained, Mr Lockhart."

"You can call me Tom. If you don't want to, you can call me Mr. Gunter."

Tom turned, not caring about Lockhart's behavior.

He walked straight to his seat, opened the stool and sat down.

"I'm curious, Mr. Gaunt."

"Curious what?"

"Professor Dumbledore didn't even keep you at Hogwarts."

"It's a perfectly normal thing to do, Lockhart."

Tom looked directly into Lockhart's eyes and said something very seriously.

"Because I'm not Voldemort, and I can't be Voldemort."

For such a confusing sentence, Lockhart had many guesses in his heart.

The only thing that is certain is that I don't have to die for the time being.

Because the person in front of him didn't use the Avada Kedavra curse on himself to take his own life in the first place.

"Then why did you bring me here?"

"I guess it's not as simple as making a joke with me."

He took the initiative to characterize what happened before as a joke.

A harmless joke between the two parties.

"You're a wise man, Lockhart."

"I already knew you were a very clever wizard when you were at Hogwarts."

"Then you might as well think about it, why did I bring you here?"

The atmosphere of confrontation and reticence has long since dissipated.

Tom's gaze was so deep that it was hard to guess what was going on in his heart.

Lockhart's mind was racing.

There is only one major event that has happened in the German magic world recently.

A very mysterious wizard spread his ideas and incited a large number of wizards to carry out an attack on the Aurors of the German Ministry of Magic.

Their philosophy seems to be... equality of wizards, against the supremacy of blood, every wizard is born free, has the decision to choose his own destiny, etc...

So……

Lockhart stared at Tom in front of him.

Which side is he on in this?
Probably on the side of the pure blood forces, after all he is... the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord who once set off a round of fear in England.

"What do you need me to do for you?"

Lockhart didn't refuse, as Tom said, he was a smart man.

And a smart person knows what to say in such a situation.

"Mr. Lockhart, do you know?"

"I am very optimistic about you, whether it is the Forgetting Curse you have mastered, or Legilimency, or other abilities."

"The reason why I arrested you is also very simple."

A wand was taken out by Tom, and it was placed on the table in a very upright manner.

Looking at the wand, Lockhart recognized it as the one that had been confiscated after his capture.

His eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't make any unnecessary movements.

Tom seemed pleased with Lockhart's sense of humor.

He reached out and pushed Lockhart's wand in front of him.

At the same time, he also said what he wanted Lockhart to do.

"Two things. If you help me do two things, I will let you go free."

"Let's talk about it first, Mr. Gunter."

He didn't directly agree, but he still had some concerns in his heart.

"Don't worry, it's nothing embarrassing."

"I need your help in tampering with a person's memory and sending a letter to Dumbledore...Professor."

"I want you to give it to him yourself."

After a brief silence, Lockhart continued speaking.

"Whose memory is tampered with?"

"The current Minister of Magic of Germany."

"Is there no one else?"

"Yes, he's the only one."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Trust me, you won't regret it."
