Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

A bit of anger flashed across Lockhart's eyes, but his trembling body showed the deep fear in his heart.

Bryan was also unambiguous. During Lockhart's constant struggle, he directly poured all the potion in Lockhart's mouth, put his right hand lightly on Lockhart's right wrist, snorted coldly, and asked:

"Who is the Dark Lord possessed?"

"I...don't know" Lockhart grumbled angrily between his teeth, with an undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

"It seems that Veritaserum has not worked."

Brian said so in a calm voice, took out his wand with his left hand and chanted a spell lightly, suddenly drew a graceful arc lightly, and a ripple formed by graceful magic power passed across Lockhart's left hand, easily It cut his skin and blood vessels.

In Lockhart's terrified eyes, a piece of bright red muscle appeared, and the gushing blood dyed his skirt red.

Even Harry and Hermione frowned. Although they couldn't bear it, they didn't say much.

When Duan was constantly being disturbed by it, the two of them knew that this moment was definitely not a soft-hearted time, even though they were young, no matter how uncomfortable they were, Brian's previous efforts could not be wasted.

"You think I'm scaring you?" Brian just sighed lightly, and said lightly, "Don't worry, you still have 3356 chances to lie."

Lockhart gasped, his eyes were full of sternness.

Bryan didn't pay any attention to it. He just calmly looked into Lockhart's eyes and said calmly, "Professor, who is the Dark Lord possessing?"

"I don't know... ouch!!!" Lockhart let out a scream, his eyes were wide open, his teeth were clenched, and blood was almost clenched from his fists.

He was not a strong-willed person, and watching his flesh being cut off made his heart continue to collapse.

In his confusion, he felt that the bottle of potion was working.His hands were trembling slightly, and he suddenly said, "Colin Creevey, the diary is in Colin Creevey's hands!"

"Very good, it seems that the potion has indeed worked, so there is no need to try it 3355 times." Brian said softly, "According to what you said, the diary is in Colin Creevey's hands, right?"

Lockhart nodded quickly, then shook his head immediately, and said in a trembling voice: "This diary suddenly appeared among my pile of new books during the new book launch event. I opened that diary curiously, and in the diary... ... There is actually a soul, he told me that it can help me improve my strength and restore my reputation. Under his instruction, I sold this diary as a teaching material to Gryffindor students... Lin Creevey."

Hermione covered her mouth tightly with her hands, her eyes widening in surprise.

Brian exhaled lightly and nodded secretly.This is not too different from what he expected. The glory brought by Lucius' pure-blood family makes it impossible for him to directly contact a Muggle-born wizard. At the same time, he can be [-]% sure that his guess is not wrong, Tom Riddle's diary is in the hands of Colin Creevey.

He looked as usual, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Professor, for your cooperation. Then the second question, how did you get in touch with Malfoy?"

"It was the one in the black book who asked me to find him, just before the Quidditch meeting." Lockhart agreed, and said honestly: "He asked me to find that person and report to him. Name him?"

"name is?"

"Tom Riddle."

Brian narrowed his eyes slightly at first, and then frowned tightly.Voldemort in fifth year didn't know Lucius, so why did he ask Lockhart to find the Malfoy family?

Forget it, after all, this is not the key to this matter, so I don't need to worry too much about it.

"It's good for you and me, so why bother with those tortures." Brian smiled, his voice calm, as if what happened before had nothing to do with him, "Then please tell me, professor, why your magical strength It has been enhanced so much, when did I learn these black magics!"

The smile on Brian's face gradually faded, he clenched his fists subconsciously, and stared up at Lockhart. He, who had been expressionless all this time, finally showed some emotion after asking this sentence.

Perhaps, this answer would tell him Tom Riddle's ultimate purpose as he guessed.

Lockhart's lips twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Tom Riddle taught me the spells and casting methods of black magic. He was able to introduce me into the diary and teach me personally. As for the magic power, I will I only know that he transmitted magic power to me three times in total, but I don’t remember the first time, I lost some memory! The last two times he directly transmitted it into my body!”

Brian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his fingers kept tapping.

Lockhart paused slightly, fearing that the boy in front of him would be dissatisfied and scrape off a piece of flesh again, twisting his body desperately, a fist-sized glass ball rolled out from the pocket of the wizard robe, filled with white smoke .

Brian had seen this stuff before, Neville used to keep forgetting things, his grandma sent him memory balls like these.

The one that fell out of Lockhart's pocket was obviously much more advanced than Neville's. According to the introduction I saw in the alchemy shop, this high-end memory ball has the effect of a simple pensieve.

Lockhart continued: "Someone once cast a Forgetting Curse on me, but fortunately I put the memory of that time into this memory ball, and I only recalled all this after I came to Hogwarts, but it was also missing. A lot of memories, as for how Tom Riddle acquired this magic power, I really don't know!"

Probably this is the reason why Lockhart escaped Dumbledore's insanity investigation, Brian was silent and slowly closed his eyes.

Lockhart wasn't missing anything, he probably didn't know how Tom got the magic.But the first memory has been tampered with, leaving out that part of the most critical information.

The room fell silent immediately, and both Harry and Hermione tried their best to hold their breath, lest they interrupt Brian's thinking.

The next moment, the latter suddenly opened his eyes and said in a steady voice: "Then, tell me the time when he passed this magic power to you!"

"The first time was probably two days after I got the diary, and the last two times were in November and December!" Lockhart said in a daze, unexpectedly that Brian would ask such a question.

"Dangdang!"

Brian stood up suddenly, and the chair under him fell to the ground with a crisp sound.His complexion was extremely heavy, and he stared coldly at Lockhart in front of him, only indifference remained in his eyes.
