Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

"Les Lint, how much did Greengrass pay to hire you as her house elf?" A sloppy, glib voice rang out.

Just by the sound, Daphne knew it was Malfoy. Her expression suddenly darkened: Malfoy knew something he shouldn't know. More importantly, judging from his tone, it is very likely that he will mention it every time he sees Les in the future.

His behavior was not a big deal to put it bluntly. It was impossible for Rice to really punish him severely for this, but he just didn't want Rice to know.

Astoria's expression was very playful. She was happy at first, and then quickly hid her emotions to prevent her sister from finding out.

She was worried that there was no suitable person to take the blame, but Malfoy stepped in on his own. He was really considerate!

Malfoy looked at Les, mocking him. In fact, he was a little envious of Les. He envied Les for being able to have such close and inseparable contact with Daphne, which made him jealous.

What would Daphne do if she ordered him to give her a back rub? This thought flashed through Malfoy's mind, and he did not dare to seriously think about the answer to this question.

But that didn't stop him from ridiculing Rice.

After Malfoy spoke, Les stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at him calmly.

"Les"'s gaze made Malfoy quite unhappy: he wanted to step forward and pull Les's dirty paws away from Daphne, but the bad things left behind after several conflicts between the first graders and Les were Memories made him afraid to act rashly.

"Draco—" Daphne was about to say something when she was interrupted by Les.

"No money was spent."

"what?"

"Daphne didn't pay me to be her house elf. She asked me to beat her back, so I gave her a backbeat. Backbeating can relax muscles, relieve fatigue, speed up blood flow, and is also good for the operation of magic. .”

Daphne:......

Malfoy:? ? ?

Why did Les actually answer his own question? Couldn't he tell that he was provoking him? Could it be that he was pretending to be nonchalant?

I really can’t hear the Les fake persona. Things happened in a hurry. Rice and Ravenclaw were able to achieve this level of intelligence in the fake body. It was already ridiculous. How could they have the time to add the ability to distinguish other people's emotions? So the fake person was really answering Malfoy's question seriously.

"If she asks you to slap her back, you will slap her back. Then if she asks you to kneel down and lick her feet, you will do the same?" Malfoy raised his eyebrows and continued to challenge. However, after he said these words, he also slightly distanced himself from Les to prevent Les from getting violent and hitting someone.

"It's okay if Daphne has a reasonable reason." Les looked serious and answered Malfoy's question very seriously.

Now the three people present were silent.

After a while, Daphne was the first to react. She clenched her fist and waved it in front of Malfoy: "Draco, if you say one more word, I guarantee that your nose will bloom!!!"

To be fair, although Daphne was angry, her pleasant voice and cute appearance greatly reduced the deterrence of this threat. However, facing Daphne like this, Malfoy still turned around and left.

He knows very well that Daphne is just like the black-footed cat on the African grasslands. Underneath her cute appearance, she has extremely excellent lethality. You'd better really listen to what she says.

Anyway, you can just laugh at Les later, but you still have to remember to keep your distance from him.

But just as Malfoy was about to leave, Daphne suddenly pulled out her wand and whispered to Malfoy: "Forget everything!"

Malfoy stiffened, and then his eyes became distracted.

Daphne's oblivion spell took effect.

"Did Les teach you this spell?" Astoria asked in shock. She was completely unaware of the fact that her sister would forget the spell. This was really surprising.

Daphne glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.

Les never taught her how to use the Oblivion Curse. This was a spell she taught herself. Today was also the first time she used this spell on a real person.

Astoria:…

"Sister, could you--" She had a very bad guess.

Daphne showed a sweet smile - just smile at the moment.

"He might become an idiot because of this!" Astoria was really anxious. Unlike other curses, the Forgetting Curse directly manipulates people's memory, so it is extremely difficult to recover. Some people who are proficient in the Forgetting Curse The wizard can even make modified memories completely irrecoverable.

Daphne's behavior of casting spells on real people after learning spells on her own can be said to be extremely bold.

"So what, he is an idiot." Daphne didn't care about the consequences at all. In her opinion, what happened to Malfoy had nothing to do with her. If something happened in the future and Old Malfoy wanted to arrest her, the worst she could do was hide in the secret room. What Rice teaches is much more practical than what professors teach.

After replying to her sister very forcefully, Daphne said to Malfoy, who was standing aside blankly: "Hey, Draco, what's the matter with you standing here?"

After his name was called, Malfoy's dilated pupils gradually returned to focus, and then he scratched the back of his head: "Uh, I'm going to have breakfast. Daphne, do you want to have breakfast with me?"

"Of course not, I'm eating in the lounge today." After confirming that Malfoy had not become a fool, Daphne motioned for her sister to sit next to her and have breakfast with her.

Malfoy, who had hit a soft spot, felt bored and turned around and left.

Daphne winked at her sister, then began to take an already cold sausage from the table, and began to enjoy it slowly.

Astoria sighed, picked up the Daily Prophet that her sister had put aside, and started reading today's news.

Opening the newspaper, the front page headline was reporting on the "experiment of the century" that took place on the school's Quidditch pitch yesterday. The editor of the Daily Prophet was very optimistic that "lycanthropy will become history" and also mentioned Los Angeles in passing. Professor Hart's true performance.

Presumably Lockhart's reputation would collapse as the newspaper was published - in fact, Lockhart's resignation statement was published in an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper.

According to him, his "deteriorating health condition" forced him to resign from his Defense Against the Dark Arts position.

Lockhart's departure was not too surprising to Astoria, but it was the second news item that aroused her interest - [Dumbledore burned the dark wizard, the suspect is currently emotionally stable]

This is the second update. The next one will be updated next year (I’m sure). I wish everyone a happy New Year’s Eve!

Enter the fun picture: The Godfather’s version of Hermione

If you think about it carefully, the caster of the Forgetting Curse should be able to lift the Forgetting Curse, because although Slughorn modified his memory, he finally handed over the real memory under Harry's persuasion. The reason Lockhart was hospitalized was probably because he had forgotten how to lift the Oblivion Curse.
