Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 181 Tom Reappears
boom!
As Lockhart's body fell to the ground, everything around him quickly calmed down.

"Constantine."

Su Ze was the first to come to Constantine and check his condition.

Constantine is a big mystery, and he seems to have lost consciousness just now. Suze doesn't want him to have any accidents because of Lockhart's wrong operation.

Grabbing Constantine's shoulders and shaking him, Suze frowned slightly and said, "Are you okay, Constantine?"

His eyelids trembled slightly, and Constantine slowly opened his eyes, looking as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked around in a trance, and then turned his gaze to Su Ze in front of him.

"Su?"

"You still remember me." Su Ze felt relieved a little. He was really afraid that Constantine had been restored to factory settings again.

"What's wrong with me? I remember I was sitting in this chair and Professor Lockhart was going to restore my memory." Constantine raised his hand and rubbed his slightly swollen temple.

"Do you remember anything?" Rocket Raccoon came over and looked at Constantine curiously.

"No." Hearing this, Constantine shook his head. He then carefully recalled it again, but found that his mind was empty, no different from before. "I can't remember anything. Did Professor Lockhart fail as well?"

"about this."

Su Ze paused, moved away, and then turned around with Constantine to look at Professor Lockhart who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, Professor Lockhart opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling lifelessly, looking as if he had died with his eyes open.

However, Su Ze could feel that Professor Lockhart was still breathing. Although it was not obvious, he was indeed still alive.

Moving their attention to Dumbledore, it was he who cast the spell to cut off the connection between Lockhart and Constantine, so everyone who didn't know what had happened could only wait for him to give an answer.

Dumbledore slowly put away the Elder Wand and sighed deeply.

"I can't save Lockhart while they are in spiritual contact. Their minds have been closely integrated. If I don't act quickly, Lockhart's sanity will be completely devoured."

"What did you do?" Rocket asked.

Dumbledore looked at Rocket calmly, then fixed his gaze on Professor Lockhart's face. "I wiped his memory with Obliviate."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Professor Lockhart.

"The only way to save Lockhart's life is to erase his memory. I didn't expect that Constantine would have such a strange energy and magic source in his head."

Having said that, Dumbledore turned around and waved towards the empty environment.

Afterwards, a house-elf appeared out of nowhere in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Suze and Rocket knew this house-elf. It was the shell that brought them here before.

"Send Professor Lockhart to the infirmary, and have Madam Pomfrey contact St. Mungo's Hospital and have them prepare a ward as soon as possible."

"Yes yes yes sir I'll go right away."

Shell looked very scared, perhaps because it had never seen Constantine before. This little guy was quite socially anxious.

After responding to Dumbledore, Shell didn't dare to look at Suze. He quickly came to Lockhart and transferred him to the Hogwarts Infirmary with a snap of his fingers.

Unexpectedly, poor Professor Lockhart's memory was eventually wiped out.

The only difference from Su Ze's impression was that originally he was the one who lost his memory due to the rebound of his own magic, but now, his memory was directly cleared by Dumbledore.

"This incident won't have any impact on you, will it?" Su Ze looked at Dumbledore and said, "After all, Professor Lockhart is still a celebrity. If something happens to him, God knows what will be reported in the newspapers that is unfavorable to you."

"You think I care about this?"

Dumbledore didn't take this matter too seriously. After a pause, he continued.

"It's not impossible to cure all amnesia. There's still hope that Lockhart will remember everything, but it may take several years. But Constantine may..."

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Suze also frowned. "What is certain is that Professor Lockhart did find Constantine's lost memory. He must have seen something and was affected by the memory."

"I have heard many fragments of stories passed down from ancient times. Those ancient wizards conducted very thorough research on dreams and memories, and even created many magics that were comparable to miracles."

Dumbledore sighed, looked Constantine up and down, and continued, "But I have never heard of such an ability to influence and harm wizards with memories."

Su Ze also understood the implication of Dumbledore's words, which was that Constantine was too mysterious, even incomparable to the ancient wizards of this world.

"We tried our best, Su, but if you want to completely restore this gentleman's memory, I'm afraid you need to go to other worlds." Dumbledore winked at Su Ze.

".Sorry to bother you."

Su Ze didn't know what to say. He wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that even Lockhart, the master of memory magic, couldn't save him, and he even lost himself. This also made Su Ze question Constantine's true identity. What exactly did he go through? In other words, what did he encounter and why did he become what he is now?

Although countless mysteries could not be explained at this time, after this experience, Su Ze also roughly understood what he should do next.

It now seems that the technology or magic of the ordinary universe is simply unable to figure out Constantine's memory, and may even cause great harm to the rescuer.

But if there is energy beyond the cosmic level, can it save and repair Constantine's memory?

Such as the power of the Mind Stone.

Or maybe it's the power of the Soul Stone.
But these are not what Su Ze can imagine now. What he has to do now is to find out as soon as possible what is happening in the universe and who has the ether particles now.

After leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, as Professor Lockhart had suffered an accident, Dumbledore had no choice but to temporarily start looking for the next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to come to Hogwarts.

As for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, until he finds the next professor, it can only be handed over to Professor Snape.

No one expected that not only did Professor Lockhart fail to break the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but he also didn't even last half a year before his class ended abruptly.

The reason for his amnesia was also suppressed by Dumbledore. After all, Constantine's secret was not suitable for the wizards of this universe to know. On this issue, Dumbledore's position was very tough.

In this way, time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed by in the gaps between fingertips, and the students of Hogwarts continued their studies as usual. No one took Professor Lockhart's experience seriously.

During this period of time, Su Ze attended classes and went to Professor Snape to learn potions, so his life was quite fulfilling.

Rocket Raccoon serves as an assistant teacher. He will not only help Suze with the Muggle Studies class, but also teach the Protection of Magical Creatures class to senior students with Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn.

Professor Kettleburn was the professor of Care of Magical Creatures before Hagrid took over. He only had one arm and half a leg left, making it very difficult for him to teach, but his appearance did attract the interest of Rocket Raccoon.

A man and a raccoon met by chance and soon became good friends who could talk about anything. Professor Kettleburn was also very curious about Rocket Raccoon, and the two often drank together.

As for Constantine, he became the most idle person in Hogwarts.

In order to make proper use of his magical abilities, Dumbledore began to give him private lessons.

Although the magic methods of the two worlds are completely different, Dumbledore still relies on his outstanding knowledge and vision to teach Constantine with a concept that transcends the Harry Potter universe.

There were definitely many difficulties at the beginning, after all, the magic of both sides was incompatibly related, but slowly after running in, the two gradually found a way that suited Constantine.

At least, now Constantine can barely perform basic irony magic and sacrificial magic.

Of course, these are always the most basic things. If it’s more advanced, even Dumbledore doesn’t know how to teach, so Constantine became a fixed NPC in the library, often reading there for a whole day.

That evening, Constantine, as usual, stayed in the staff lounge until the library closed.

"Rocket, are you going out?" After opening the door, Constantine was stunned when he saw Rocket Raccoon changing clothes stealthily and asked.

"Oh, since I don't have classes tomorrow anyway, I'll go get old Kettleburn a drink." Rocket was startled by Constantine, but he quickly reacted.

"Where's Kaia?" Constantine put down the book he borrowed and asked casually.

"He's going to take a shower." Rocket Raccoon grinned and said, "This guy has been addicted to taking a bath in the staff bathroom since the last time he took a bath. He wants to go there every day."

At this point, Rocket waved his hand.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Rocket Raccoon slipped through the crack in the door and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the rocket disappearing in the door in a hurry, Constantine opened his mouth, and in the end he could only shake his head slightly.

"Okay, I'll just continue reading."

With a smile, Constantine slowly turned around.

But the next moment his expression froze.

Behind him, a pale-faced young man was looking him up and down with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Constantine."

"Just call me Tom."
