Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Chapter 246: The liar is indeed unreliable

London.

Alexis has left the Ministry of Magic, Lockhart's polyjuice potion has also expired, and the three of them came to stay at the Byron Hotel.

Not long after they separated, Christie knocked on the door of Alexis' room.

"Alexis." Christie looked a little serious, which was an expression that rarely appeared on her, especially when facing Alexis.

"I don't know what you want Lockhart for, but he's not the one you need."

"Believe me, he is not your companion."

Alexis put down her book, pointed to the chair opposite her with interest, and motioned for Christie to sit down and talk in detail.

"how do you know?"

He took out the small bottle and put it on the table. "He has already made the greatest contribution before he joins."

"Frankly speaking, even I have not made as great a contribution as him so far."

Alexis pointed to the vial.

Both of them knew that it contained the memory image of the legendary lady in the Muggle world, which was crucial to Alexis.

Even if he doesn't watch it, he can still use this video to trade with the Muggle government. In exchange for some secrets, the Muggle government will be very happy to pay a suitable price.

There are also those Muggles who are not very friendly to Britain. They will be happy to pay a suitable price to buy this memory.

And all Alexis paid was a bottle of prepared Polyjuice Potion, a strand of Sirius Black's hair, an afternoon, and a lost friend.

"He's just a fancy-looking peacock, Alexis, and he's not the same person at all."

Alexis nodded "I know, but we don't all need like-minded friends."

"Kristy, you have to understand, this is a tradition in our family. I'm better at this kind of thing than most people."

"Believe me, there aren't that many people on the road in this world."

The "tradition" Alexis is talking about is his adoptive father Grindelwald.

What he is doing now is very similar to what Grindelwald did back then, except that his methods are gentler and he will be more cautious after learning from past mistakes.

"Want to take a look together?"

Alexis picked up the small bottle and shook it.

Christie shook her head and gave Alexis a deep look "I hope you're right."

"Of course, I'm always right."

Alexis answered.

However, Alexis never imagined that the moment of slap in the face would come so quickly.

Thirty minutes after he said "Of course, I'm always right", Christie was ready to go back to the room to sleep, and Alexis was also ready to rest. After all, they would continue to find Blake tomorrow.

At 31 minutes, Christie and Alexis said goodbye to each other, and she walked out of Alexis' room.

At 33 minutes, Christie passed by the door of Lockhart's room.

She found that the door was ajar, and when she opened it, she found it was empty inside.

At 34 minutes, Alexis, who was about to wash up, was pulled to the door by Christie.

Facing the neatly arranged room, Alexis had to admit the fact: Lockhart ran away.

"I think you'd better check that little bottle."

Christie looked at the stunned Alexis and reminded her while suppressing a smile.

Alexis was shocked. He still hadn't recovered from the fact that Lockhart had dared to escape from under his nose.

"Alexis, you said Lockhart was a master of the Oblivion Charm?"

Christie looked at the dumbfounded Alexis and couldn't help but remind her.

"Correct!"

Alexis turned his head sharply, his eyes seeming to sparkle.

"Remember Legilimency, Christy?"

"I need a book on Legilimency!"

Alexis pulled Chris and ran directly outside.

They walked through the brick wall and came to Diagon Alley.

"Old Tom!"

Tonight, the Leaky Cauldron seemed deserted. There were not many people there. Apart from Old Tom, there were only three or two mysterious wizards wrapped in robes, sitting in the corner and dozing off.

Alexis couldn't wait to come to the bar and say hello to Old Tom.

"Hey Alexis, what do you want?"

Old Tom smiled and took out two cups. "Or do you need a room? I can give you a discount, Alexis."

"Do you know about Legilimency?"

Alexis asked.

"what?"

"Legilimency! Oblivion Curse!"

"I'm not sure, Alexis." Old Tom frowned at the two young men who came to the bar in the middle of the night. "You mean Legilimency?"

"That's right." Alexis nodded and looked at Old Tom expectantly.

There are many people in the wizarding world who know Legilimency. It is like the Oblivion Curse and Apparition. It is a spell that is not very common and is not strictly prohibited, but there are very few people who are truly proficient in it.Those who master the art of Legilimency are known as Masters of Legilimency.

As far as Alexis knew, among the people he knew, Dumbledore was the Master of Legilimency.Snape may be one, and so may Grindelwald, who studied a brief history of time on the island.

"Someone used Legilimency on you?"

Old Tom asked suspiciously.

"No, Old Tom, I need to know the difference between Legilimency and the Oblivion Curse." Alexis said, "Also, can Legilimency take out people's memories?"

After discovering Lockhart's escape, Alexis suddenly wanted to understand something:

In the whole story of "Lockhart, the great liar, stole the memory of an important Muggle government official and was hunted for it", Lockhart used Legilimency!

But in fact, this is a very profound magic spell. Although it is not as rare as the Fire Escape Bodyguard, it is not so bad.

In other words, in Lockhart's story, Legilimency = Oblivion.

But this is not the case.

After Alexis discovered that he could not remember how Legilimency worked, he was certain that Lockhart had unknowingly used the Amnesia Charm on him and Christie.

Lockhart's use of the Oblivion Charm was very precise. He made Alexis and Christie forget their memories of Legilimency to enhance the credibility of his story.

This also shows that Lockhart's use of the Forgetting Curse has really reached its peak.He is not like most people, who simply makes people forget a certain memory or forget to see "himself" in order to hide his whereabouts or enhance his credibility.

He relies on "modifying" other people's memories to make others forget certain key information, thereby making himself credible.

The entire process was silent, and in the eyes of the cursed person, the story told by Lockhart was very logical and highly credible.

For example, Christy and Alexis.
