Chapter 240: The Life Force Absorbed

After agreeing to Lockhart's request, Ivan did not leave directly, but asked him to teach himself the Oblivion Charm.

This semester's experience has given Ivan a deep understanding of the importance of this spell.

If he had forgotten the spell in the first place, Hermione wouldn't have known about sneaking into the Gryffindor girls' dormitory.

It can also allow him to deal with today's events more calmly, for example, he can completely erase the memories of the two Ravenclaw boys and clean up the handwriting on the wall before the others arrive.

"You're going to learn the Forgetting Spell? Why? Are you going to erase anyone's memory? Lockhart asked curiously.

"Just in case." Ivan did not explain and glanced at him. "What do you ask so much? I won't use it on you..."

"I didn't say that, it's just that this magic isn't that easy to learn..."Lockhart smiled brightly, and began to explain to Ivan the spells, gestures, and methods of using the Oblivion Charm.

In other magic, Lockhart may be a mediocre talent, but he is a real master in the attainment of the Forgetting Charm, and there is probably no wizard in the entire wizarding world who uses the Forgetting Charm better than him.

After all, Lockhart has spent all his ingenuity on this one spell for decades.

Finally had a chance to show off the real learning, Lockhart said that he was very dedicated, and even said some tips that he had summed up.

Of course, this also has something to do with the little wizard in front of him holding his handle.

Under the guidance of Lockhart, the master of the Oblivion Charm, Ivan's understanding of the Oblivion Charm also improved.

With a certain amount of GPA consumed, Ivan could hear the sound of increased proficiency in his head every once in a while.

Soon, Ivan saw the magic of Oblivion appear in the system's magic bar.

"Forget it!" Ivan swung his wand, and a milky white enchanted light slammed into the wall.

Since there is no goal, Ivan does not understand how much of a role it has.

"You've learned? So fast! Lockhart was amazed, as a master of the Oblivion Charm, he could certainly tell that Ivan had mastered the spell in the first place.

You must know that the Forgetting Spell is a very difficult memory spell to learn, and it took him three days to learn it, and he thought it was already very fast, and he had been complacent about it before.

"Pretty much." Ivan nodded casually.

"Your talent is amazing." Lockhart was both emotional and a little jealous.

"There's no need to envy me, in terms of understanding the Forgetting Spell alone, I'm afraid there is no one in the wizarding world who is stronger than you." Ivan shook his head and said aloud.

"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't be so famous." Lockhart said triumphantly.

This is also the only thing he can be proud of, not everyone can use the Oblivion Charm to erase the memories of so many powerful wizards without revealing the slightest flaw.

Ivan didn't bother to correct Lockhart's philosophy, everyone has their own way of living.

Having learned the Oblivion Charm, Ivan opened the door and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Ivan remembered something, turned his head and asked tentatively.

"By the way, Professor Lockhart, what do you think of today's attack?"

Lockhart was stunned for a moment, then replied regretfully. "That's a warm Ravenclaw, I've signed that girl before, and luckily she's okay..."

......

Exiting Lockhart's office, Ivan followed the crowd back to the Gryffindor break room.

Along the way, almost everyone was speculating about who attacked the Ravenclaw girl, and all kinds of rumors continued.

This continued until noon the next day, when Hermione asked Professor Binns about the Chamber of Secrets, and the young wizards who were born into Muggle families were suddenly in danger.

They believe that the opener of the Chamber of Secrets must have wanted to kill the Ravenclaw girl because they thought Muggle-born wizards were unworthy of learning magic, as rumors had suggested.

The text written on the wall is a warning to everyone that those who try to stop the other party from cleaning the campus will also be killed together.

The most unfortunate was Harry, who was listed as the first suspect in the attack due to his previous exposure of the Parseltongue.

Legend has it that the Chamber of Secrets was founded by Salazar Slytherin, and the founder of Hogwarts is best known for his Parseltongue!

"Damn, how can they doubt you? You've been with us all the time yesterday! After class, in the hallway outside the classroom, Ron said indignantly.

Harry was also depressed, he had done nothing, but he was somehow thought to be the attacker.

"Do you think it has something to do with Voldemort?" Harry suddenly thought of Ivan's stolen diary, lowered his voice, and spoke.

"Perhaps," Ivan said casually, then turned to look at Hermione and asked. Hermione, is that injured Ravenclaw awake? ”

The most direct way to find out who took the Horcrux is to ask the girl who was injured yesterday, and the other party is likely to know some clues.

"Not yet, according to Madam Pomfrey, in addition to her injuries, she seems to have been hit by a very powerful black magic, and her vitality is very lacking." Hermione said sadly.

"Life force is missing..."Ivan frowned, he realized that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

It seems that Tom Riddle is not only intent on framing him, but is also secretly trying to regain his strength.

This discovery also gave Ivan some clues.

Having been in contact with Tom for so long, Ivan has a deep understanding of the power that Horcruxes possess.

Unless the girl had 100% trust in the Horcrux and was willing to open a part of her soul to it, there would be no way for Tom to absorb so much life from a little wizard in a short period of time.

This meant that the Ravenclaw girl was likely to hold the Horcrux for a long time to be able to build this level of trust.

Now that the poor boy had lost his usefulness, Tom ruthlessly abandoned the other man, and threw him out as a discard, and gave him some trouble by the way.

"Great, Tom, you're getting better at tricks." Ivan had a headache, he used to tease Tom every day with the advantage of information, but now he was almost cheated by Tom once.

Compared to Ginny in the original plane, Ivan understands that Tom has now regained some strength, but it should not be to the point of resurrection, because the Ravenclaw girl is still alive...

But waiting for Tom to suck a few more people's life force is not necessarily!
