Hogwarts: I really don't want to be a wizard

Chapter 67 The New Night Watchman

No one can accept death calmly, and Tom Riddle, a guy who has been pursuing immortality since he was a teenager, is not the exception.

Even though Gretel had just freed him from the Squib's spell.

When Tom Riddle's soul on the verge of dissipation rushed into Gretel's body unexpectedly, high-pitched and cold laughter resounded in Gretel's mind.

Before Grete could panic, he saw a flash of cold light, and the arrogant remnant soul disappeared in front of his eyes.

After a while, the panel flickered, and Gretel was surprised to find that there was another entry in the talent column.

Gretel didn't expect Tom Riddle to give him such a big gift.

[Original origin: From the remnant souls that escaped from the plundering curse, the magic power, the unity of life and soul are analyzed.Trinity, magic lives on. 】

Tom Riddle's generosity shocked Gretel, and he didn't understand how an already so weak soul could dare to muster the courage to charge at him.

Even without the existence of the panel, his state like a candle in the wind would never be able to compete with any healthy soul.

In the face of a status quo that is bound to dissipate, even struggling seems so ridiculous.

This simply made Grete dumbfounded, and he could only thank Tom Riddle in his heart for his generosity. .

After confirming that Tom Riddle was wiped out, Gretel could finally deal with Lucius and Filch with confidence.

Gretel has already tested the ability of [Master of Memory] on Lockhart.

It is naturally handy to use again.

When Lucius woke up and saw Filch with wooden spikes all over his body, he was almost frightened to death.

As the head of the Malfoy family who is the most adept at taking sides among the 28 pure-blood families.

The history of the Malfoy family can be said to be the highest among pure-blood families. Lucius has seen relevant records of this state in the family history.

However, Filch's condition didn't seem quite right.

His eyes were dull and straight, and he was muttering something unknown.

He boldly stepped forward and heard clearly what Filch said: "I am a wizard, I am no longer a squib."

To be honest, Gretel had little to do with Filch becoming like this. He simply cleared Filch's memory of seeing him.

It was Filch who had broken his mind, much earlier than Lucius.

When he was about to take Lucius as the next sacrifice, he suddenly found that all the magic power that filled his body had disappeared.

Not only that, the souls of the people who had the wooden nails driven into their bodies also disappeared.

Without Tom Riddle's help, he lost the ability to absorb the life force and magic of others.

Even if the diaries were pinned back to the body one by one, there was no reaction at all.

Under heavy blows, Filch, a squib for many years, suddenly fell from heaven to hell again.

When Lucius woke up, he saw Filch who had been mentally broken for who knows how long.

On the evening of September 1992, [-].

Accompanied by a group of Hogwarts professors, Lucius Malfoy took Filch to the Ministry of Magic Tribunal.

It wasn't until the end of September, when all the dust had settled, that Gretel heard the relevant news from other people.

I don’t know how adult wizards play with each other.

Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts to be his headmaster, and Lucius Malfoy was nominated for the Wizengamot Councilor.

The Ministry of Magic received financial support from dozens of pure-blood families for solving the Hogwarts murder case.

Filch, as the proven perpetrator, is unforgivable.

In addition, he has mastered an evil curse that is not allowed to spread.

He didn't even have the qualifications to be sent to Azkaban for imprisonment. He was tried in court, dealt with in court, and directly exiled to the world of death.

The poor and hateful Filch failed to change his fate after all. He didn't completely become a wizard until his death.

The impact of the two deaths was far greater than anyone imagined.

To prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, the Ministry of Magic passed a law.All squibs will have their memories of the magical world wiped from their minds when they reach adulthood, and will be forced to integrate into the Muggle world.

On the day Dumbledore returned, Hogwarts was like Christmas, with joy on everyone's face.

The restless Hogwarts also became calm again.

In those days, even if the little wizards made mistakes, they would rarely be deducted points by the professors. Most of them would tell them with a smile that it would not happen again.

When casting spells in the corridor, they don't have to worry about a sinister voice jumping out and saying they want to take them to see the professor.

But what makes the little wizards happiest is that they no longer have to worry about going out at night.

Mrs. Norris's shrill screeching voice could not frighten the little wizards.

Poor Mrs. Norris, could only watch as the little wizards ignored him and roamed the castle all night and all night.

In the end, the kind-hearted Mrs. Pince took it in to prevent it from being played with by ignorant little wizards.

Hogwarts cannot lack night watchmen because too many wizards have no restraint.

I went on a tour the night before and went to class listlessly with a pair of dark circles under my eyes the next day.

This situation lasted until the end of October.

Until Hogwarts recruited a new Night Watchman, a wizard, Remus Lupin.

Wizards are obviously more competent as night watchmen than squibs.

Many people who were under the Disillusionment Curse and tried to get away with it were all caught by Lupine in the office.

However, even if he was caught, no one had any resentment towards Lupine.

Because Lupine would not curse them with resentment, he would not even complain to the professors.

He would let the captured people rest in his dormitory and wait until daybreak before letting them go.

The students who were caught would also enthusiastically demonstrate the scene when they were caught to other people who were not caught.

Gretel had seen it with his own eyes. Terry lowered his voice and imitated Lupine.

"Mr. Lupine was standing in front of me at the time and he said, 'Wizard, your Disillusionment Charm has exposed the wizard's robes.'

Mr. Lupin was a really nice guy, and he gave me some tips on the Disillusionment Charm.

He said I was welcome to go out at night, but it would be best if I could practice my spells more skillfully.

Don't let him catch me again, or he will hand me over to Dean Flitwick next time.

He also said that at my age, he had already become a master of night swimming, and he welcomed us to challenge him. "

When Terry said this, Gretel's expression was stiff.

Lupine was supposed to appear at Hogwarts as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in his third year.

Unexpectedly, because of his butterfly effect, he would now become the night watchman to replace Filch.

With Gretel's intervention, the secret room incident has changed beyond recognition.

Gilderoy Lockhart was also a blessing in disguise, not revealing that he was stealing other people's memories.

But even so, Gilderoy Lockhart, who only had the ability of a mouthpiece, was still seen by everyone as to his true level.

In the ranking list of all previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart narrowly defeated Quirinaz Quilo by a slim vote, taking the second-to-last place.

However, for him, the purpose of branding his name has been completed, and the newly written "My Days as a Professor at Hogwarts" has been invited by the publisher before the book is completed.

Therefore, even if Hogwarts asks for renewal, Gilderoy Lockhart will decisively refuse.

What's more, Hogwarts will never continue to employ him.

The original professor became the Night Watchman, and it was unknown who Dumbledore was looking for to fill this position.
