The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with our transaction?"

Erwin sat unceremoniously in Lockhart's plush office chair and crossed his legs over his desk.

Lockhart forced a stiff smile, cursing the little bastard in his heart for being unruly.We must know that the current magical society as a whole is still very stable and harmonious. Except for the vicious black wizards, ordinary wizards should have basic goodwill for each other, and should try to avoid applying magic to each other without consent. This is basic social etiquette.

It was also because of this that it was possible for Lockhart to attack other wizards with a single Oblivion Curse, and then bluff others with their stories.

But this boy is a savage!Muggle-born, so he didn't follow the customary rules of wizards at all. As a student, he dared to directly grab the professor's handle, and even shrewdly cast an armor curse on himself before entering the office!

How could he be so cunning!Why didn't he honestly take a Forgetting Curse!In this way, he only needs to modify the memory of another girl, Melanie, and everything will be peaceful!

Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't have guessed that Erwin's armor was permanent.

"That," he forced a smile, "I think we may have misunderstood."

"You mean that I misunderstood you as a person who obeyed the rules?" The paper knife on the table opened automatically, and the blade with a cold light flew up, sticking tightly to Lockhart's neck.

"No, no, no." Lockhart panicked, speaking quickly, "I've prepared everything you want, and it's all there."

He gestured to the cabinet next to him with his eyes.There's a metal box in there.

Erwin opened it, yes, it contained the highly poisonous medicine he wanted.

"It seems that you have made two-handed preparations. But this cannot conceal the fact that you are trying to break the rules." He slowly approached, "I said that after this transaction is completed, it will not be difficult for you, but now... you are breaking the rules. People must pay the price."

"Come on, it's really a misunderstanding." Lockhart said with a bitter face. "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I can give you Galleons, enough Galleons, how much do you want?"

Erwin ignored him, "I have all those notes of yours in my hand, maybe I should choose one of them and send it to a certain writer of the Daily Prophet..."

"Don't!" If it wasn't for being unable to move, Lockhart would have knelt down to Erwin, "Student Frost, oh no, Mr. Frost, I'll give you a thousand Galleons as compensation!"

This man values ​​reputation more than anything else.

He has written so many best-selling books, so he is naturally earning a lot of money. Besides, he can sneak attack some wizards with the Oblivion Curse and modify their memories, so it is very easy to take their property as his own .

In short, this guy is a fat sheep.

But Erwin didn't intend to squeeze out such a little oil, "I'm not interested in Garen." He said coldly.

"Then what do you want?" Lockhart asked desperately.

Erwin looked at the embarrassed man.What is the most valuable possession for a wizard?is knowledge.And does Lockhart hold such wealth?

Of course there is.

"Tell me about the Oblivion Charm you used."

"What?" Lockhart was a little confused.

Erwin released his control and looked at him condescendingly, "You are now a professor at Hogwarts, so you are obliged to impart my knowledge, now, please tell me how you can modify others memory without them knowing."

The conventional Oblivion Curse can only clear part of the memory, and the caster will have an obvious feeling of memory faults, but Lockhart can not only sneak attack wizards who are much stronger than him with just one hand of the Oblivion Curse, but can even modify them. memory and leave them unaware.

This can already be said to be a unique skill.

Lockhart's eyes dodged a little, he mumbled some irrelevant points of the incantation, and then Erwin blurted it onto his portrait again.

"You can't fool me, I know what the spell should look like."

Lockhart wanted to cry, but where did this monster come from? Is it really a second-year student?

"Well, I'm telling the truth." Lockhart counted weakly: "The truth is that when I use the Oblivion Curse, I will use some means of the Imperius Curse. No, no, no, it's not that I know the Imperius Curse , just adopted some similar means, just means..."

Imperius Curse?Erwin's expression moved slightly.

Thanks to the collection of books in Flamel's cabin, Erwin is not ignorant of black magic now.The three unforgivable curses, the Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Avada Kedavra Curse, all involve the soul in essence.

What exactly is the soul?Is it thinking?This statement is right or wrong. Based on Erwin’s observations of Hogwarts ghosts in the past two years, he can roughly draw such an inference that the main body of the soul may be memory, or that memory is the basis for the existence of the soul. It is an important part of the soul.

And ghosts are like the crystallization of the memory of the dead. What they can save is only the memory of their lifetime. A typical example is that Nearly Headless Nick clearly remembers how many servants he had before he was alive, but he cannot name any Gryffindor from a hundred years ago. student's first name.And when you talk to ghosts, the intelligence you feel is more like they are replaying certain scenes in their lifetime.

Therefore, it is effective to use the Oblivion Curse by using a similar method to the Imperius Curse.

"Tell me about it." He put Lockhart down again.

Sure enough, no wizard should be underestimated.

Although it is just a mantra, it is not easy to spell it out clearly.Time passed quickly, and Lockhart's mouth was so dry that he couldn't even eat lunch.

During this period, Erwin has been occupying his luxurious office chair, and Lockhart, who is the lecturer, has been standing like a poor student, but he dared not speak out.

"Well, I'm going to teach the fourth graders soon..."

Erwin looked contemplative. At this time, Lockhart had almost said what he should say, so Erwin waved his hand casually.

Lockhart was relieved, he now had a very palpable fear of the young man.

His wand had fallen to the side earlier and hadn't had a chance to pick it up.At this moment, he realized that Erwin's attention was not on him, hesitated for a moment, and carefully took the wand back in his hand.

Erwin seemed to be still thinking about it.

Another chance, and Lockhart was in a moment of panic. "Forget it all!" he yelled, casting the spell with all his might.

However, his face turned pale again under the light of the Armor Charm.

Erwin turned his head, and there seemed to be a storm hidden under his calm eyes.

"You're being unruly again, Mr Lockhart."

Gilderoy Lockhart felt out of breath, and the young man in front of him seemed completely invincible, putting him under great pressure, "I will compensate...I will compensate..." he repeated mechanically.

Five minutes later, Erwin left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office with a bulging money bag.

Lockhart actually carried nearly [-] Galleons with him. Did writing a book make so much money?

After all, he is still a professor at Hogwarts, and it is impossible for Erwin to say that he really hurt him. Since this guy attaches so much importance to fame and fortune, he should rob him of his wealth, fine him, and justifiably rob him.

Even the most basic magic research will consume a lot of resources, Garen will never have too much.

Of course, he deliberately made Lockhart think he had a chance to fight back, and every failure would weaken the guy's will, making him easier to control.

I'm really not a good person, Erwin shook his head and sighed, then unfolded a part of the cube formed by the folded LeMay cabin in a deserted place, and threw the money bag into it.

It happened to be the end of get out of class at this time, and the first-year Gryffindors were crowded in the corridor. Erwin walked through the crowd and found the little girl with red hair.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" He asked in a low voice.

Ginny shook her head slightly.

It seems that after being possessed by the soul in the diary, she did not have any sequelae, which should be due to the relatively short contact time.

"Don't tell anyone what happened last night, it's to protect you." Erwin continued to exhort.

Ginny was about to say something when a voice came from behind, "What are you whispering?"

Erwin turned his head and saw Ron with a rather unkind expression.

"Nothing important." Erwin smiled, and then walked away.

Away from the Weasley brothers and sisters, Erwin saw Melanie leaning against a wall post at the corner of the corridor. Although it was only a girlish image, the boys passing by couldn't help but look at her more.

"Let's go," Erwin said.

After getting the medicine from Lockhart, the bloodline diffusion plan can be officially launched, and the spoils from last night, the diary and the head of the basilisk also need to be processed and studied.

There are many things to do, and they cannot do without the help of this female vampire.

Following the already familiar route, the two walked out of Hogwarts Castle and headed towards the Forbidden Forest.

No way, only there can unobtrusively unfold the Flame Chalet.

"You just let those 'tails' follow?" Melanie suddenly said to Erwin halfway.

"No hurry." Erwin said lightly.

Someone was following them, and they were hiding their bodies. They used a trick that was much lower than the Disillusionment Charm, and the technique was so clumsy that they didn't need to pay much attention to discover their existence.

A stalker of this level is basically not threatening.

Passing Hagrid's hut, stepping into the confines of the Forbidden Forest, and going deeper, the people who followed them finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"You guys, stop for me!"

Erwin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and saw that it was Drago Malfoy, his two attendants, and a senior Slytherin student. He should be the one who used the invisible trick .

"How dare you ignore the school rules and enter the Forbidden Forest like this, the lowly Mudbloods really don't obey the rules!" He turned his head to look at the senior student, "Prefect Eisner, what do you think?"

Erwin was quite surprised that this second generation ancestor had learned to be smart and knew to borrow the school's rules and regulations.

"Five points from Gryffindor," said the sullen Slytherin prefect.

Although he is a prefect, he seems to have become the dog leg of the Malfoy family.

"Only deduct five points?" Brother Yan was very dissatisfied, "I want to tell my father, as the school manager, he will never allow a low-level Muggle student to be so presumptuous, you wait to be expelled, Al Ving Frost." He looked over with contemptuous eyes.

Erwin looked calm, "You seem to adore your father?"

"Of course."

"Then did your father teach you not to meddle in your own business?"
