time at hogwarts

"Are you kidding me?" Lockhart couldn't keep the smile on his face.

"We're serious," Fred said, speaking out what he heard with his telescopic ears.

Lockhart's expression changed when he heard his own voice and words.

"Do you know what the punishment will be for falsely accusing the professor!"

"Of course, in fact we don't just have this recording, we have everything you said during that time. You can think about whether everything you said at that time can be quibbled with."

Magos looked at Lockhart, who had a gloomy face, and was full of vigilance, ready to dodge any sudden spells at any time.

But Lockhart suddenly stopped all expressions and laughed loudly and said,

"I almost believed what you said. Okay, okay, gentlemen, this joke is over. Now please leave. I can pretend that nothing happened."

This is how Magos and Fred would have reacted if they didn't find him. Unlike Fred and Quirrell who were a little wavering, he was really sure that Lockhart had done those things.

"Professor Lockhart, you know very well that you have really done these things. If we tell this information to Principal Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic, no matter how proficient you are in the Oblivion Charm or how hidden you are, there will be no clues. No, and we have no intention of doing so, after all you have helped Luna, we only hope to have a professor who can truly teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"I am the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Please leave my office right now." Lockhart's smile stopped and he showed an angry look as if he had been wronged.

Lockhart Magos, who was looking at the situation, could only lament that his acting skills were really good and his psychology was strong enough. He said so but was still unwilling to admit it.And he really didn't want to bring this matter to Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic. He thought that even if Lockhart was unlucky, he and the twins would not end well. He didn't think any professor would tolerate this kind of behavior from students. kind of behavior.

Magos decided to take his time. He couldn't really report him, and he couldn't bring out a magical animal as powerful as a basilisk to force him to reveal his true form. He could only pat Fred and prepare to leave.

Lockhart looked at the two people who slowly turned their backs to him, with a trace of struggle flashing on their faces. In fact, he didn't really care about the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. In his eyes, this was just a bonus for him. It was just academic points. What he was really worried about was that they might leak this matter to others, and then he would change from a popular star to a loser that everyone despises, which he would never allow.The struggle on his face disappeared, replaced by a determined expression, and he quickly took out the wand from his arms.

"Everything is empty!"

Although Magos had his back turned to him, he never let down his guard. As soon as he heard a sound behind him, he subconsciously pulled Fred down with him regardless of what it was.

A silver light flashed away.

Magos and Fred didn't have time to panic.

"Expelliarmus!" A ray of red light hit the defenseless Lockhart, and his wand was instantly thrown out of his hand.

"What?!" Lockhart looked at the sudden appearance of Quirrell in shock.

"Quickly imprison him!" Quirrell didn't say any nonsense to him. Ever since he was possessed by Voldemort, he understood one thing. Never listen to other people's nonsense during a battle, otherwise it is very likely that you will die.

"Silent!" Then he couldn't make a sound again.

After confirming that Lockhart had temporarily lost the ability to fight back, Quirrell quickly walked up to Magos and the others, his face full of self-blame. Was this the second time he believed in others' words?

"Are you all right?"

Magos and Fred stood up slowly and shook their heads.

"It's okay. Fortunately, Magos pulled me." Fred looked at Lockhart who couldn't move with fear on his face. Magos had said that he was proficient in the Oblivion Curse, and he didn't know what would happen if he was hit. How many memories were erased by him?

Magos quickly recovered from his fear. He had guessed that Lockhart would attack them, but he didn't expect that he would be so vigilant. He obviously had the strength to crush them and still play tricks. He finally understood why he refused to admit it. It turned out that He never thought that they could go back with their memories. If he guessed correctly, once they lost their memories, he would definitely check with the people around them to see if anyone knew his secret.

Lockhart saw the three people walking in front of him whine with smiles on their faces.

"Professor Lockhart, you are really insidious."

Rocky lifted the sealing spell on him.

"I will resign my position at Hogwarts to Dumbledore immediately," he said immediately as soon as the curse was lifted.

"Do you think we will still believe you?" Fred replied unhappily.

"We can sign a contract." Lockhart vividly expressed what it means that people have to bow their heads under the roof and fully think about everything for them.

"From your sneak attack this time, I think I can tell who you are. I believe you will fulfill your promise to resign from your position, but I also believe that you will always find ways to erase it in order to prevent us from leaking your information. Our memories."

"No, no, no, absolutely impossible. We can also sign a contract on this matter." Lockhart shook his head repeatedly.

"To be honest, I don't trust you, especially after your sneak attack."

"Then what do you want to do?" Lockhart looked at this little wizard who was only in his second year with some fear. He could actually arrange an adult wizard with considerable strength in Hogwarts in advance. This is not a matter of power and money. It can be done.

"If a professor in the school is in danger, Principal Dumbledore will definitely find out who did it."

"Of course I know this, don't worry, I can't kill anyone."

Lockhart's face relaxed slightly at this.

"But," he smiled,

"You said, if I tell Principal Dumbledore that we know your secret, and come here with Professor Quirrell to confirm it with you, only to be attacked by you, Professor Quirrell will use a rebound spell as a last resort. The Forgetting Curse you released bounced back on yourself, causing you to lose your memory. How about this ending?"

Lockhart's eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at him like he was looking at a demon. Not only him, but also Quirrell and Fred were shocked by Magos' words.

Fred took a step back quietly. He felt like Magos had two horns on his head.

"No, you can't do that." Lockhart looked at him with horror on his face.Erasing his memory was harder for him to accept than killing him.

"Why not, haven't you always done this to those adventurers? If you erase your memory, at least you can go to the hospital for treatment, and those adventurers whose adventure experiences you have erased will probably lose something. It's a chance to survive!!" At the end of the sentence, Magos's face was full of sternness.
