Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

He stored all the food in the living room to create the illusion that he was raising a basilisk, which was also the source of the rotting smell.

Unfortunately, Tom's plan was useless in the eyes of Lynn and Dumbledore, and Lockhart didn't have any secrets at all.

After patiently listening to Lockhart's stumbling explanation, Dumbledore said in a gentle tone: "Gilderoy, we want to know something else."

"So...what do you want to know?" Lockhart stammered.

"How did you snatch someone else's story back then? The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic will be here in half an hour at most. Your answer will determine how we can help you."

Compared to Dumbledore's narration, Lynn seemed less patient.

He had always despised this useless person just like Euphemia, and even more so after hearing about those people whose memories he had erased and who had become forgetful.

"I...!" Lockhart looked struggling.

"I have to remind you that I am the only one who can remove the black magic in you, so you'd better think it over carefully." Lin En said coldly, "If the principal hadn't asked me to do it, I wouldn't care about your bad behavior."

"Don't!" Lockhart screamed, "I beg you, senior, save me!" He hugged Lynn's thighs tightly with his dry, dark and thin hands.

"I'll tell you everything! Please save me!" Lockhart was crying and snotting, and Lynn kicked him away in disgust. "I'm a liar. I used the Oblivion Charm, but I didn't kill anyone! I was really forced into a corner by the Dark Lord!"

"How did you do it with your mediocre skills?" Lynn looked down at them, "There are also Harry Potter and Ron Weasley."

"I...I...I know a legacy of ancient magic!" At the critical moment of life and death, Lockhart did not dare to quibble, but just gritted his teeth and said, "I will give it to you, please let me go!"

As he spoke, he took out a tattered booklet from his arms, tears streaming down his face with heartache.

With just a quick glance, Lin En could conclude that this inheritance was incomplete and had long been broken, just like the Light Spell of the plateau tribe.

Lockhart had only scratched the surface.

But the way he combined this magic with Oblivion was more creative than the inheritance itself.

It's worth a look, but it's not a good thing, just second-rate stuff.

Having made up his mind, Lynn looked up at Dumbledore.

Seeing Dumbledore nod slightly, he took out his wand and tapped it on Lockhart's head.

"Close your eyes and empty your mind. It will be painful." He urged his magic power mercilessly, and a verdant light came on.

Compared to the careful performance when saving Frank and Alice, this spell on Lockhart seemed to be bold and rough, full of the roughness of Eastern European magic.

This is also the original appearance of Igor's Medical Magic Notebook.

Lockhart fainted instantly, and woke up in pain a few seconds later.

Lynn's magic was like a thorny brush, sweeping through his mind, violently erasing all traces of the Dark Lord and leaving his spiritual world in jeopardy.

He was sweating all over and his whole body was like a big shrimp. His mouth was wide open but no sound came out until about ten minutes later.

The cushions beneath him were soaked with sweat, and Lockhart lay motionless, as if he had died.

But there was some color on his face, and the lingering black air finally disappeared.

"Thank...thank you..." he said weakly, "I will leave Hogwarts and Britain now, and will never appear in front of you again..."

"I'm afraid not, Gilderoy," Dumbledore said softly. "You can explain the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets. But the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the original victims will have a lot to talk to you about memories."

As he was talking, the door of the office opened and the fully armed Auror was already outside.

The leader was Lynn's old friend, Brian Johnson.

Chapter 115: New Professor at Hogwarts (End of this Volume)

"No, you can't..." Lockhart raised his hand in despair, but was easily restrained by Brian's men behind him and dragged out.

"Dumbledore! Eric! You can't do this to me! -"

Even from a distance, his mournful cries could still be faintly heard.

Brian smiled at the two of them and said, "Thanks to Principal Dumbledore for his great assistance. Otherwise, we wouldn't have found the victims and their families so quickly."

"What will be the result?" asked Dumbledore.

"At least twenty years, most likely life imprisonment." Brian said in a deep voice, "The director is pushing for the latter."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Johnson." Dumbledore nodded. "I will be present at the Wizengamot trial. Please go back. I will go to the Ministry of Magic in person to explain the other matters to Cornelius."

"Okay, bye." Brian nodded politely, winked at Lynn and was about to leave, but was stopped by him.

"Wait a minute, Brian," Lynn said, "We can talk about this sometime later when we're free."

"Ok?"

Brian was stunned at first, then he rolled his eyes and nodded, "Of course."

After saying this, he strode away to catch up with his men.

"I thought it would be a Dementor's kiss." The old man returned to his seat and took out a large box of chocolates. "It's not easy to find these victims living all over the world. Thanks to you in the school, I can set off with peace of mind."

"This is all thanks to your Legilimency, isn't it?" Lynn smiled meaningfully, "Our headmaster always shows his kindness and love when the overall situation is settled... Just kidding, it's always a good thing to punish Lockhart."

"I don't think this is a joke." Snape's gloomy voice came from outside the door. Before he finished speaking, he had already left and returned. "With Lockhart's character, there will be more victims than you can imagine. He won't remember stories that have no meaning to him."

"That's a bit harsh for an old man, Severus." Dumbledore put down the chocolate in his hand. "This is a regrettable result, but I think the Ministry of Magic will continue to work hard."

This will be the aftermath of Lockhart's case, and perhaps the final push that will send him to the Dementors' mouths.

"I don't believe you had no prior plans to allow such a dangerous and stupid person to teach at Hogwarts."

"The lack of candidates is indeed the main reason. In addition, I also hope to set a bad example for the children and let them know the harm of boasting."

"At this time, your kindness and love have disappeared again?" Snape pursed his lips sarcastically.

Lynn sat aside with great interest, watching the two bickering, and secretly took out a box of biscuits from Dumbledore's drawer and began to eat them with a crunch.

After working all night, he was a little hungry.

It was a pity that the sound of eating biscuits seemed to alarm Snape. He suppressed the urge to say more cold words to Dumbledore and sat down next to Lynn angrily.

And glared at him.

The two men's eyes met in the air, full of tension.

They are like the two ends of a personality scale, with an irreconcilable hatred in the middle.

"It's all over, Lynn, Severus..." Dumbledore said softly, looking at the biscuits in Lynn's hand with surprise and joy. "Although many unexpected things happened, thanks to you, they were finally solved smoothly. It's a pity that we lost another Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

His tone was light, without any trace of pity or regret, just like Fox who was eating herbs not far away.

"You can find someone else from anywhere just like you found Lockhart. No one can be worse than him, right? Children are always easy to satisfy." Lynn said with a smile.

"Including Quirrell," Snape added.

This made Dumbledore look distressed. He smacked his lips and adjusted his glasses on his twisted nose.

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts professors I've interviewed over the years are almost as tasty as the Bebe Every Flavour Beans I've eaten - if you don't consider Lynn's Christmas present this year."

"It's only four months anyway, I can do it for you." Snape said coldly, but Lynn knew that this was his true thought.

He saw through the old bat at a glance.

However, thinking of the Dark Lord's curse, he was actually happy to see it happen and looked at Dumbledore with interest.

"No," Dumbledore said simply.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds.

Snape added, "I can handle it."

"No," Dumbledore simply repeated.

He turned his gaze to Lynn.

"As we said months ago, you can handle Tom's curse, Lynn. I wonder if I could..."

"No." Lynn's answer was simpler and more direct.

"Really?" Dumbledore was unwilling.

"I refuse." Lynn's answer was the same as always, "Unless you want me to throw the previous offer letter into the fireplace like the previous invitation letters."

Dumbledore's eyes moved between the two professors and he shook his head helplessly.

The professor who wanted to teach this course with all his heart might not be able to handle the Dark Lord's curse, but he also had such an important responsibility that he dared not take any risks.

The professor who could handle the Dark Lord's curse was a man of unquestionable character, and he was certain that if he insisted, the results would not be good, and he did not dare to take the risk.

The old man looked very tired, even more tired than when he had traveled across five continents in the previous week looking for victims.

He sighed. "Well then." His old hands, still stained with chocolate residue, were folded and laid flat on the table. "It looks like I'll be busy for a while, and Minerva too."

"Thank you for your hard work, Principal." Lin En had finished his biscuits, patted his butt, stood up, and pretended to leave. "I also want to go see my students quickly, so I'll leave first."

Snape's look became more complicated.

"Lynn," Dumbledore stretched out his hand with a wry smile on his face, "Is there really no other way? Or do you have any suitable candidates to recommend? I know you have a wide range of friends."

"As if this is a good position..." Lin En muttered and turned back, "Of course there is a candidate, and he is indeed good at dealing with curses. But..."

"But what?" asked Dumbledore.

"But it requires a special contribution award." Lin En said leisurely, and did not rush to leave. Instead, he walked to Dumbledore's side, "And some additional support."

He whispered something in the old man's ear, and just a few words made the old man smile and accept the order without hesitation.

He even used his Patronus directly, directing it to find Professor McGonagall who was busy taking care of the students.

Snape's expression was particularly interesting.

It was clearly a discussion among three people, but he became an outsider.

The only remaining fantasy was shattered again.

After a troubled few months, Hogwarts is about to welcome a new professor.

As for the two new professors, one has already established himself and become an idol in the eyes of students, while the other is in shackles. Even if he is cured in St. Mungo's, he will be thrown into Azkaban to spend the rest of his life.

At the beginning of the new year, many stories came to an end while the little wizards were sleeping soundly.

But the pace of time never stops, and new stories will happen in the remaining half of the school year.

Chapter 116 Summary

“Ding ding dong!——”

Lynn’s first volume from entering Hogwarts to concluding Lockhart and the Basilisk has come to an end!

This volume actually has quite a few mistakes, and some plots seem a little weak - especially before it was put on the shelves, there were a few days when the readership decreased instead of increasing. Now I think the pace should have been faster, but I didn't think it through at the time.

I hope the second volume can be better written and make everyone more happy reading it!

Judging from the current feedback, a considerable proportion of book lovers have directly caught up with the latest chapter, which makes me very happy and excited.

Now that the first volume has ended, the second volume, which is about to begin, will have a lot of new content - I think no one will be too surprised, after all, there are so many foreshadowings in the previous ones, and the story time has just advanced to the beginning of February.

Although I cannot give you too many spoilers, I can assure you that the content of the second volume will be richer than the first, and the perspective will change from a model that focuses on the school as the absolute main body to a combination of both inside and outside the school.

I will try my best to rely on the main world view of the "Harry Potter" series IP, add some new concepts about magic and wonderful fantasy, and create a more complete and richer magical world.

"The New Professor at Hogwarts" ends here, and stay tuned for "Mystery of the Crown".

In addition: I’m shamelessly asking for rewards, monthly tickets, comments and recommendations!

Especially the comments, I really like to read the chapter comments of fellow book lovers - I don’t do that for the purpose of copying book reviews.

Thank you everyone~!
