Dumbledore sighed helplessly, pushed up the glasses on his nose with some distress, looked at Elena sincerely and explained.

"Unlike other portraits in the wizarding world, the portraits of previous principals in the Hogwarts Principal's Office have all sworn that they will always assist and listen to the current principal's ideas, and contribute their own wisdom and strength as much as possible... The most important thing is

Yes, even if there is a handover between the old and the new, they will not reveal the secrets of their predecessors to the newcomers unless the information was left behind on the initiative by the previous Hogwarts principal."

"Yeah, I know, but it's quiet this way. And it's not easy to be disturbed."

Elena swung her short legs happily and stared at Lockhart standing at the door and Hermione in the reception area.

"There are no outsiders now. Dear Miss Reserve Justice, you can ask Mr. 'The Hanged Man' those questions. It just so happens that we have solved all the problems left over from history today, so there will be no worries or hidden dangers in the future.

Already."

"You think so, Mr. Tower, Mr. Pope?"

Elena took out the wand and played with it back and forth in her hand, her eyes falling on the old devil on the other side of the room.

At the same time, Grindelwald also took out his wand and tapped it lightly in the room.

An invisible ripple of magic enveloped the principal's office.

"Those...questions?" Lockhart frowned and looked at Hermione solemnly.

"Oh, yes." Hermione looked at the Major Arcana in the room and said cautiously, "Oh, I'm sorry, this question may be a little offensive and abrupt. I just wanted to ask, Professor Lockhart, where are you?

The adventures mentioned in his books."

"You want to know what I did and why I'm here, right?"

Gilderoy Lockhart replied quickly and took a deep breath, "Yes... those are almost all fake. The adventures in every book come from others. I found out

Their information, and then used the Forgetting Curse to take those deeds as their own. Even if the Tianming Group later helped clean up the mess, the facts cannot be changed. I am actually a shameless vanity."

Hermione's eyes fell instantly, and she looked at her former idol with great disappointment.

In front of Professor Dumbledore, Lockhart naturally had no need to be humble. Sure enough, everything was just as Elena said.

"The Tianming Group took the initiative to find me, and they offered to exempt me from the trial of 'justice' in exchange for my help."

Lockhart said very calmly, as if a certain burden had been lifted, and his expression was somewhat relaxed.

He turned his head, looked at the girl sitting on the principal's desk, and smiled sadly.

"But now 'justice' is coming, right."

Hermione's heart sank suddenly.

However, before she could speak, Elena raised her finger and shook it, smiling and speaking softly.

"You guessed it wrong. 'The Hanged Man' itself is justice."

She turned sideways and looked at the Hogwarts principal behind her, and abruptly changed the topic, "I know, Professor Dumbledore, you never agree with the idea of ​​​​paying credit for crime, but you also believe it."

There is a good side of human nature that leads to a return after going astray. So is it possible, for example, to make some clearer commitments, rather than observing in an ambiguous way and waiting for other people's words and deeds to change?"

Dumbledore did not speak, but looked at Elena thoughtfully, his eyes a little surprised.

"Eh? What do you mean..." Lockhart looked at Elena in confusion.

"It's very simple. I intend to cure your heart disease, dear Mr. Hanged Man."

Elena clapped her hands, paused for a few seconds, looked at Dumbledore who was silent, and continued to explain.

"It is true that we cannot change the past, but we can add some details, change the way 'history' is described in the present through different angles, methods, and some smarter and more complex ways... In the end, we will give you a brand new period.

The purpose of life.”

"However, this is a Pandora's box. I have to get authorization first."

Elena turned her head and looked at Dumbledore quietly.

"You know what I mean, professor."

Great!
