Hogwarts Archmage

Ma En reinforced the flame grid again and asked: "What happened next? What happened next."

"Later, I dug out the mouse hole, and a group of mice with red eyes rushed toward me. I was a little scared and wanted to run away, but the notebook jumped out of my arms for the guide.

"The group of rats had wisps of black smoke coming out of them, and they gathered together and rushed toward the notebook. He pulled out another stream of black smoke from the notebook.

“He came out and I never saw him but I knew it was him.

"I knew everything was over, but the black mist didn't hurt me. Instead, it rushed towards the black lake."

Marne knew that Esther must have been injured at that time. He clenched his fist tightly, and the flame grid shrank inward. Lockhart let out a shrill scream. Only then did he notice that he had accidentally He used too much force and loosened the grid, and then asked:

"What's next? What happened next? Didn't it leave? How did you become like this?"

"I thought he just left like this, but I don't know why. It didn't take long for him to come back, and he looked much bleaker. He let out a soul-shaking roar. My whole body was frozen there. He looked towards me. I laid it over here."

Hearing this, everything clicked. Voldemort must have been injured by Esther's defensive magic, and had to go back to find a rookie who could immediately replenish himself. Marne nodded slightly and signaled Lockhart to continue.

Lockhart was trembling a little. He seemed not to want to recall that scene, but after Marne roasted him a little, he still spoke: "Pain, endless pain is coming towards me. I can't imagine that this is a kind of thing that can be used." There is no way to describe the pain, but I am sure that even the Cruciatus Curse cannot be worth one ten thousandth of it. Even if you use stones to smash all the bones and muscles in my body bit by bit, it will be far less than this. It’s even more painful…”

There was a burst of black smoke all over his body, and he kept twisting, as if he could not help but begin to suffer the torture whenever he mentioned this matter. Ma En did not force him anymore, but thought of Esther again, and he couldn't help but I dare to imagine what suffering that girl endured that day, Lockhart's feelings that even an adult man could not bear, but Esther didn't mention it at all when she woke up, which made him extremely sad.

He suddenly remembered that Esther went to Dumbledore. Did she go to learn how to resist Voldemort?Ma En's mood was a bit mixed.

This time it was no use. Marne continued to urge. After Lockhart trembled for a while, he continued: "After that, I became like this. I don't know if my brain still exists, constantly telling me what I need to drink in order to survive." Keep on living, I searched for a long time until I found a mouse and I smelled its life..."

"You killed it?"

"No, I just took it and then another, stronger desire told me that I needed to find the man, that he was my master and that I should follow his orders."

"Why didn't you go find him?"

"I kept casting forgetting spells on myself to make myself forget this desire...I succeeded. This desire has now subsided, and the intervals between each time it comes are getting longer and longer."

Hagrid, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked loudly: "Then why don't you get rid of your desire to devour life!?"

"I'm going to die," Lockhart rolled his smoky eyes, "That's my most basic need to stay alive."

"You!" Hagrid continued to say something, but was interrupted by Ma En. He asked: "What happens next, if you don't go to him, but the Forbidden Forest is full of his... um... let's call it His dependents are everywhere, how could you hide?"

"I was just on the outskirts of Hogwarts at first, living by taking animals like rats, badgers, rabbits, etc., until one day I saw a fire in the Forbidden Forest, and I found that his smell was gone..."

"And you came here?"

"Yes, I find the Acromantula to be much more delicious, and it also suits my growing appetite."

With red eyes, Hagrid clutched the small umbrella he carried with him, as if he was planning to find an opportunity to kill him.

"The last question," Ma En said slowly, "will the creatures you have sucked become like you and be controlled by you?"

"Of course not. I'm not that person, and I don't have that much energy." Lockhart gave Marn a strange look, as if he was talking nonsense, and then said cautiously, "Okay, all the questions are over. , should you let me go? I have inspiration again, and I have to go back and write a book."

Ma En was relieved after hearing this and looked at him in surprise: "Why do you think I will let you go after I ask the question?"

"Then you want to..."

"Of course I'll kill you. You don't think I'll let you leave here alive, do you?"

Lockhart's face began to twist. Unfortunately, he could no longer shed tears or snot in this state. He tried to reinstall the flame cage, but every time it made him scream. Finally, he shouted with a hint of crying. : "Spare me, Mr. Langley, I didn't know about it either. Please, I was once your professor..."

Ma En looked at the liar who suddenly changed his appearance in front of him and said, "Then is there anything else you want to say, or did you forget to tell me?"

Lockhart was "crying" while trying to remember. Suddenly he put away the crying look on his face and said cautiously, "There is one thing, that is...this matter is a bit difficult..."

"How difficult is it?"

"I need you to temporarily let go of your control over me... Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong... You only need to let go of this small part of your arm, not all of it..."

Marn raised his eyebrows, probably knowing what Lockhart was planning to do, so he directly removed the flame network all over his body, leaving only the ones on his feet.

Lockhart was excited and excited, and shouted with a smile: "The secret is...to forget everything!"

The anticipation and excitement on his face quickly disappeared, and a thin "membrane" of white flames stood in front of Marn and Hagrid, quickly burning out his magic spell.

"That's it?" Marn mocked him, stretched out his finger and tapped the membrane in front of his eyes, released the temperature control, and pushed it towards Lockhart.

The temperature of the surrounding air suddenly rose to an extremely terrifying level. Lockhart opened his eyes wide and shouted in horror. Lockhart in this form seemed unable to hide his emotions. He wanted to escape, but The flames on the soles of his feet firmly fixed him, leaving him with nowhere to go.

Before the membrane touched Lockhart, Marn stretched out his hand to suppress its warmth and just wrapped Lockhart. He had no intention of actually killing Lockhart, as this person was still useful.

Even if it can't be used to find Voldemort's whereabouts, it can at least relieve the admiration and sadness of one of his furry fans...
