Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

It was only on the second visit that he discovered a place name inside.

“Göbekli Tepe?” Jimmy thought of Lockhart’s new book, “Reconciliation with Göbekli Tepe.” He had always thought that Göbekli Tepe was a kind of dark magic creature that he had never heard of.

Dumbledore nodded repeatedly. "Muggle archaeological work always helps the wizarding world unearth relics buried by time."

Jimmy understood what Dumbledore meant and exclaimed in realization, "So you didn't just tell me directly, but instead showed me the newspaper, also to train me? Now you're leaving the problem unresolved, still to train Harry? Pushing everything onto—fate, prophecy?"

The portraits on the office wall seemed to whisper secrets, and the conversation between the two seemed to fall into chaos at this moment. Even the listless phoenix on the gilded perch opened its eyes wide.

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "That's the best way."

Well, Old Deng isn't pretending anymore; he's still thinking about his plans!

Jimmy shook his head and said, "No, this isn't... If you don't take care of it, I'll have to handle it my own way?"

Dumbledore remained silent, as if he was determined to keep Lockhart.

Seeing that Dumbledore wanted Lockhart to be the whetstone, Jimmy turned to leave.

The principal is not doing anything, so Professor McGonagall should take his bird's nest!

Just as Jimmy stepped out of the headmaster's office, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to Dumbledore, and said, "Could I have a note for the restricted section?"

"Don't read books that are too dangerous."

Dumbledore approved the note very generously this time, perhaps as compensation?

Jimmy, holding the note, didn't head straight to the library. Instead, he went to the Owl Hut, where he used an ink spell to write down a passage about Lockhart and sent it to Rita Skeeter by owl.

He wrote another similar note and sent it to Lucius Malfoy.

The note contained Lockhart's charges. Jimmy first threatened to expose Rita Skeeter's illegal Animagus identity, forcing her to write an article that reasonably suspected Lockhart, and then used Lucius's connections to gather evidence.

Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't possibly do everything perfectly; he'd done far too many stupid things, and he was always flamboyant and outspoken. It would be too easy to find someone based on those characteristics.

Locating the exact victims is unlikely, but pinpointing Lockhart's movements over a specific period is not difficult.

Moreover, he already knew that Lockhart had visited Göbekli Tepe in Turkey not long ago, and that starting the search from there could lead to clues.

Lockhart, that nobody used to care about, but now it's different; he's affecting my studies.

Moreover, unlike Quirrell, who doesn't have a lasting impact on himself.

After watching the owl leave, Jimmy returned to the castle and headed towards the library.

Jimmy was given the note written by Dumbledore and, after confirming it several times, he was allowed to leave.

Jimmy also entered one of the most mysterious areas of Hogwarts, the Forbidden Books Section.

He came to the forbidden book section mainly to look for mind control techniques and Occupational Surgery. He had looked for them in the regular book section last semester, but hadn't found them.

After searching through each section, I finally found Legilimency and its accompanying Occlumency spell in a book called "The Complete Book of Offensive Magic".

Most of the magic recorded in this book is for attacking and killing, but there are also offensive applications of ordinary magic, such as the binding spell used to tie up goods, which can be turned into a noose to strangle someone...

To make the most of this opportunity, Jimmy stayed in the library until closing time, frantically scanning for a full six hours. He even skipped dinner and just ate some snacks, avoiding Mrs. Pince.

He used a memory restoration spell to imprint the contents of six books—"The Complete Book of Offensive Magic," "Powerful Potions," "Curses That Cause Enemies Unbearable Pain," "The Complete Book of Black Magic," "Forbidden Knowledge of Alchemy," and "The Most Poisonous Magic"—into his mind.

After finishing writing down all the notes, Jimmy felt dizzy and slowly returned to the common room before curfew.

There were still some people chatting and playing cards in the lounge. Jimmy's brain was exhausted, and he wanted to lie down on the bed and spend some Galleons to help him digest the knowledge.

Jimmy! Where did you go this afternoon?

It was Hermione. She had been sitting in front of the fireplace, looking at the door, waiting for Jimmy to come back.

She couldn't find Jimmy; it was as if Jimmy had vanished from the castle, and no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find him, which worried her greatly.

“Hermione…” Jimmy saw Hermione’s worried face, raised his hand to put his hand on her shoulder and said, “I need to go back and rest first, and we’ll talk after I wake up.”

He then gently pushed Hermione away; it wasn't a good time to get too close to her. He needed to find out what method Lockhart had used to influence the people around him.

Back in his dorm room, Jimmy collapsed onto his bed, mumbled something like "Don't bother me" a few times, and then fell asleep.

It wasn't that he was actually sleeping; rather, he had spent money to learn the techniques of Legilimency and Occupy Central.

As the deduction of magic related to Legilimency began, Jimmy's memories once again flowed forth like a stream. The wonder of magic lies in the fact that memories are not a single perspective, but rather an observation as if by a third person outside of the memory itself.

Just as Dumbledore poured his memories into the Pensieve, everything he saw and heard transcended three-dimensional space.

This led Jimmy to discover that Lockhart was influencing him much earlier than he had imagined.

It was June, and that awakening in the hospital bed was right there on the cover of the book "Walking with Trolls" in Hermione's hands.

Chapter 117 Golden Eye Curse

Legilimency is essentially spying on others. Similar spying spells can be found in books such as "The Curse That Makes Enemies Suffer," "The Complete Book of Black Magic," "Forbidden Knowledge of Alchemy," and "The Most Poisonous Magic."

From traces of magical power to the physical body and the soul, everything is included; the four deductions accumulated over June, July, August, and September will all be poured into it.

The deduction always follows a certain path of development: to integrate, deeply integrate, improve, and further improve the magic of the spying type.

Everything I had ever seen in my memory was marked with different colored lights: the moving stone statues and portraits in the castle were white, the ghosts were green, and the people were represented by different lights representing magic and emotions.

There are a few rather special individuals whose aura is exceptionally different.

For example, Ron's flying car emits blue, green, and orange light; Peeves emits multicolored light; Lockhart emits red, green, blue, black, and purple light; and Harry's forehead emits green light.

He eventually came up with a new spell, which wasn't ideal. It could only alert Jimmy to something unusual, something hostile to him, and could also see through a certain degree of disguise and curse.

It wasn't perfect, but it was enough for Jimmy to see many things clearly. He named the spell the Golden Eyes Spell, with the incantation: Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

As our understanding of spells deepens, the relationship between spells and incantations becomes increasingly blurred. In any case, if an incantation sounds good and meets the creator's needs, it will work.

This simulation resulted in Jimmy sleeping much longer than usual; he was woken up by Neville.

"Wake up, Jimmy, we're about to have Charms class!"

Jimmy opened his still-sleepy eyes and saw Neville standing at the head of the bed with a worried look on his face. He asked sleepily, "Good morning, Neville, what time is it?"

“It’s already 11 o’clock, and there are still 15 minutes until your Spells class. If you’re not feeling well, I can take you to the school clinic first.”

Jimmy had never been in a deep sleep before, except for the time he created the Memory Charm.

Fortunately, he's awake now, otherwise Neville would have really gone to find the professor to take Jimmy to the school infirmary.

"No, no need, let's go to class together." Jimmy got out of bed, and after just a few stretches, he was already back to his best.

He rushed into the bathroom and, in front of the mirror, used the Golden Eyes Spell.

A subtle golden light immediately appeared in the depths of Jimmy's eyes, and his reflection in the mirror also changed.

It has light representing different colors on its body: blue, white, red, and gold, and a black and red dotted line on its head that winds and extends into the distance.

It was a curse, very inconspicuous, with a very weak effect, but even less likely to be detected.

Curses are inherently a completely irrational force. For example, the curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—no one knows how Voldemort cast the spell, but people in that position always seem to run into trouble due to various accidents.

Whether they get injured or die, the outcome is never good.

Anti-curse has always been a profound subject, and anti-curse in Hogwarts has always been a category of advanced anti-curse techniques.

Jimmy has now learned Occlumency, and preserving this emotionally affecting curse might be a good option.

After washing up, Jimmy left the bathroom. The effects of the Golden Eye Curse hadn't worn off yet. He saw that Neville also had a similar curse on his head, but it was bluish-green and its purpose was unknown.

"Let's go, let's go to class."

The two climbed several flights of stairs and barely made it to the Charms class classroom just in time.

The classroom was already full, with only the back right row remaining.

Jimmy was a little confused when he saw Hermione in the front row turn around and look at him with a wronged expression.

Professor Flitwick arrived at the classroom the moment the bell rang. He always took attendance before class. Today's spell was the hair growth spell, which was very helpful for those with thinning hair.

After class, Hermione, seemingly afraid that Jimmy would run away like he did in the previous class, rushed up to him and said, "Are you avoiding me?"

"How could you have such thoughts after just one day?" Jimmy reached out and pinched Hermione's cheek, and this time she didn't dodge.

Hermione felt guilty and stammered, "I think it's because of me. I don't trust you."

"This isn't your fault. But don't be surprised if anything happens afterward, okay?"

Hermione also had the same curse as Neville on her head. Jimmy could see it clearly. Everyone in the classroom had the same curse. The trigger for this curse was most likely Lockhart's book.

Lockhart tries to isolate himself, but what is his purpose?

Considering Lockhart's reasons for becoming a professor in the original book, he likely wanted to leverage his fame as a recipient of the Order of the Jimmy Merlin First Class to write another successful bestseller.

Just like meditation, Occupational therapy prevents other emotions from influencing one's judgment and resists the prying eyes of those who seek to control one's mind. It does not mean that the emotion does not exist.

"I haven't had breakfast yet, and I'm hungry now. Let's go eat together."

Jimmy also wanted to tell the truth, but that could put others at unnecessary risk.

The two arrived at the auditorium and saw Lockhart, who was posing and preening there as usual.

Jimmy glanced at the crowd and found that most of the students had been cursed, while a small number were unaffected.

Several members of Slytherin were not cursed, including Harry and Luna.

It's quite unexpected that Draco wasn't affected by the curse either.

Lockhart's light was exceptionally bright, with red, green, blue, black, and purple colors constantly shifting and changing, while the white light of ordinary wizards was so faint that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

What surprised Jimmy even more was that Lockhart didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards him.

The bullets fired on the afternoon of September 1st yielded results on September 3rd.

Rita Skeeter and Lucius Malfoy's replies arrived almost one after the other.

Because the letter was anonymous, Rita Skeeter didn't know who sent it, and her reply was full of bluster and cowardice, meaning she didn't want to do anything for him.

The letter even contained a location-tracking spell, which Jimmy casually dispelled.

Jimmy provided the reply and an ultimatum, which he then had delivered by owl.

The other letter was a reply from Lucius Malfoy, who had sent men to investigate Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, and the results would arrive in three days.

Old Malfoy is indeed efficient; no wonder he's a gangster.

Jimmy casually wrote a reply and sent it out, promising to cooperate with Malfoy Pharmaceuticals in the future potions business in order to encourage Lucius.

Two days later, it was Friday, and the second-year Gryffindors had their second Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
