Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

In the wizarding world, the boat of friendship is often overturned.

Leaving aside those weird potions for the time being, mental magic alone is enough to cause headaches.

As a traveler who "accidentally broke into" this world, Elena's vigilance in this respect is almost comparable to that of two or three "Mad Eyes Moody". Every night before going to bed, she will use "memory". "Ball" to ensure that your own memory has not been manipulated.

Whether it is tampering with memory or deleting memory... these inevitably leave the original memory chain blank.

Unless it is similar to the previous "multi-specialist consultation" for Peter Pettigrew, the memory ball can be used to detect abnormalities in most cases.

Maybe she can't avoid the attack forever, but she can at least fight back at the first time after she has been fooled-even if she puts aside the Gringotts Fairy Queen, Miss Destiny Group, Foundation O5-Miss Fool... these illustrious Under certain occasions, her personal strength alone can now reach as much damage as Dumbledore and Grindelwald can cause.

"Ms. Arkhipovna, sorry, please avoid it a little bit."

Elena said calmly, her eyes wandering among the rest of the room for a few seconds.

"Next, we may have a short meeting..."

The level of magic development of the mixed-blood Veeva is enough to allow her to clearly remember the details of every event that happened during the week.

Therefore, from the perspective of the most basic physiological structure, it negates the probability that Elena may be "forgetful" like Neville.

Then the answer is very obvious-

From her last "memory self-examination" to this point in time.

She, Elena, accidentally lost a part of her memory...

And considering the journey during this time, the "murderer" is likely to be hidden among the people present.

…………

Click.

The door closed again.

At the same time, the invisible magic barrier unfolded instantly.

Waves of magic like a tide swept across the ground, across the ceiling, and silently infiltrated the end of the wall, instantly forming an "absolute secret room" that could not transmit information to the outside world-it was Professor Dumbledore who cast the spell , So it did not provoke any violent reactions.

"Then, let's make a long story short..."

Elena said softly, and gently drew out her wand, holding it in her hand as if she were holding a sword.

"Obviously, going back from now to the last'memory self-test', during this period of time, a small piece of my memory was lost..."

The Deathly Hallows necklace on her chest flickered with a gleam of white light.

Even if Dumbledore and Grindelwald are now jointly attacking her, they will not be able to lose her combat effectiveness in the first blow.

Of course, the reason why the two old wizards drew out their wands was not intended to preemptively—in such a narrow space, Elena’s combat effectiveness is almost the strongest among everyone, and they are more to stabilize the girl, and Rescue the "murderer" in time.

"Memory... lost? It's really interesting."

Grindelwald rubbed his wand with his fingers, grinned, and broke the silence first.

"So, do you have any clues now? Girl. Those who have the opportunity to attack you are the people present, right?"

"No impression at all—"

Elena carefully recalled what happened these days and shook her head.

However, this is also a matter of course.

If there were any obvious loopholes, Bingxue, who was smart, would have realized that something was wrong.

On the other hand, this also illustrates another thing-compared to implanting or tampering with memory, she has a greater probability of being hit by the Forgetting Curse.

"Well, let me think about it. The time of the last'Memory Check' was the night before, after boarding the ship..."

Elena said softly to herself, sorting out and rewinding what happened before.

Because of the amber mechanism, and the captain's status and authority.

The Huberian is almost an absolutely safe place.

"...After the basilisk was eliminated, you arrived directly at the principal's office, right."

Grindelwald analyzed with interest, without the slightest conscious that he himself was one of the major suspects.

"Immediately afterwards, you and your friends went back to the bedroom and stayed until this morning...then we went to the responsive room, and then passed through the responsive room to the principal's office, and then we arrived at the institute together. The scene and the personnel involved not much……"

The first-generation Dark Lord spoke quietly and squinted his eyes slightly.

"The principal's office, bedroom, responsive house, research institute... plus the castle corridor at most, just these few?"

"Well, I have to add a place..."

At this moment, Hermione who was standing next to Elena raised her hand cautiously.

"After returning to the bedroom yesterday, we secretly ran out again."

"Huh? Secretly went out once?"

Dumbledore was stunned, and looked at the little **** gently.

"Miss Granger, what did you mean by ‘go out’ just now... mean?"

"Outside the castle, of course it's not far, the town of Lars--"

Before Hermione could answer, Elena spread her hands and confessed openly.

"We teleported from the fireplace in the bedroom to the principal's office, then flew out from the window and went home to celebrate Christmas. It shouldn’t violate the school rules? And we came back before twelve o’clock, it’s not a night away, by the way It also found a security loophole for Hogwarts."

"...Uh, uh, uh. From the...window of the principal's office?"

Dumbledore twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed helplessly.

"Well, then there is one more suspicious place to be investigated now, and it is much more complicated when it involves outside the school—"

"It's actually not that difficult, Granger."

Elena said calmly, and handed the memory ball in Hermione's hand.

"You hold it tightly to see if it changes color, and then pass it to Luna-if both of you change color, then it means that we were together at the time of the'attack.' The rest will be given to Luo. Professor Hart, Professor Dumbledore... It's easy, isn't it?"

If the "murderer" attacked her and the Wings at the same time, then the time, place, and suspect would be almost locked.

After all, in the magical world, there are only a handful of wizards who can capture them in an instant.

And if you say...

"It's all...white? It's funny."

Elena looked at the memory ball passing in the hands of Hermione and Luna.

Unlike the bright red light that bloomed in her hands, the inside of the memory ball turned into white mist again.

Obviously, this was not a large-scale group capture, but a secret operation aimed at her alone.

So, the remaining possibilities are nothing more than three:

When she was alone, she was cast on the Forgotten Curse.

The little wings united and cast an oblivion spell on her in the bedroom.

Or, everyone on the scene united at a certain time and cast the Forgetting Curse on her.

Taking into account the actual situation and probability issues, the possibility of the latter two situations combined is even less than one in ten thousand. After all, if something like that really happened, she would have been trained as a human weapon more than a long time ago. In this way, a logical analysis is made in the secret room.

"Wait, wait...I haven't..."

Hannah eagerly watched the memory ball pass from Hermione to Luna, and then back to Elena.

Not surprisingly, the pure white mist was instantly dyed with a thick red halo.

"Well, Hannah, you don't need it—after we find the answer, you can play as long as you want—"

Elena said seriously after thinking for a moment, and then turned her head to look at the other wizards.

"Then the situation is clear now, I have a small request..."

No matter what the final answer is, she is now ready to quickly end this unexpected case, and then... launch a counterattack.

Compared to deception, what Elena can't stand the most is this kind of soul manipulation-it's too dangerous. As a person who has passed through, she has paid close attention to this aspect to a morbid level, and she will never allow others. There may be an opportunity to turn her into some kind of humanoid doll.

On the other hand, the expressions of most wizards present were also somewhat solemn.

If Elena may be attacked by others, then they may also be manipulated in the same way.

After all, in terms of vigilance, instant protection, and small-scale confrontation, Elena is not even much weaker than Dumbledore.

Elena looked around at the people in the room, wandering the wand in her hand carelessly, whispering.

"We all know that there is a simple way to identify the content of a spell cast by a wand within a certain period of time. This should be the quickest and safest method. What do you think? Or it can be now Start explaining why?"

"Flashback Curse? This is indeed a good way."

Grindelwald reacted instantly and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Dumbledore and Lockhart nodded in agreement after thinking.

It turned out to be... unanimously approved? !

Elena was stunned for a few seconds, frowned, and carefully observed the expressions of everyone.

This was beyond her expectation. In her original thoughts, this proposal should force the "murderer" to explode directly.

In the original basilisk encirclement and suppression plan, everyone may cast the "forgotten curse."

However, the actual situation now may be different from the plan.

If the "forgotten curse" appeared in the curse upside down within three days, it would almost be marked as a "murderer" 100%.

"Flashback Curse, what is that..."

Hannah bit the ear of "Miss Know-it-all" in a low voice.

However, before Hermione could explain, Grindelwald and Elena answered the question with action.

Grindelwald took the initiative to raise the wand and dock it with Elena's wand.

"Flashback to the previous curse!"

Elena said softly.

Thick gray smoke emerged from the place where the two wands met.

With the passage of time, it constantly changes its shape: at first it was some magical plasticity, which was the assembly work of ternary computers; followed by pieces of land that were being turned upside down and leveled, and this was where they were repairing the site; Afterwards, there are floating spells and simple transformations. Watching the fuzzy gray axe blade mist continue to fall and lift, everyone in the room knows what it is doing...

"Without a trace!" Elena waved her magic wand, breaking the backtracking of the flashback curse.

The light, shadow and smoke in the air disappeared.

"Then, next, I will be responsible for the backtracking of the Flashback Curse..."

Grindelwald had a meaningful, slightly cruel and strange expression, and he looked at the other wizards.

Regardless of who secretly cast the Forgotten Curse by Elena, he will not feel particularly angry. Although this little girl looks shrewd, in some cases, it is too easy to "show her belly" toward someone she trusts. It is not the quality that a qualified superior should have.

If you can take this opportunity to let Elena understand the cruel nature of some "lonely world"...

Even if one or two people who crossed the red line are sacrificed for this, it is not impossible.

"...Isn't it Gail?"

Dumbledore frowned slightly and looked at Grindelwald deeply.

In this way, the situation is more complicated than he thought.

If Elena was really "attacked", then his attitude and subsequent choices are extremely important.

Dumbledore knew very well that some things are not only right and wrong and revenge. When a certain bottom line is inadvertently broken, the sequelae caused may be more difficult to heal than the scars left by sticking to the bottom line. The road ahead is still very long. Long...

For a time, the various thoughts in his mind were mixed.

However, Dumbledore's movements did not stop.

Before saving others and Elena's soul, he must first protect himself.

Before Grindelwald could come over, he took the initiative to drew his wand to the front end of Grindelwald's wand.

"Flashback to the previous curse!"

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and said clearly.

Grey smoke came out again.

…………

"Without a trace!"

About a quarter of an hour later.

Grindelwald's cruel and playful expression turned into confusion.

He waved his hand, breaking up the smoke from the tip of Hermione's wand in mid-air.

As for the girl's use of spells to copy homework, and even the explosive spells she tried secretly in the castle, those are the things that Dumbledore should have headaches and considerations afterwards. Grindelwald is now even more confused about who is the gods. Unconsciously attacked Elena.

"What do you say now? Any clues?"

Grindelwald's expression became serious, and he looked at the girl who was also lost in thought not far away.

This is not a good thing.

Although the safety alert at Hogwarts has always been his place to tease Dumbledore.

But ridicule belongs to ridicule. After Elena, himself, Nicole LeMay and other wizards worked together to strengthen, Hogwarts Castle is not to say that it is inflexible, at least it can be regarded as the most difficult places to sneak into in the magical world today. Not to mention the "sneak attack" incident.

"No, maybe there is Nicol LeMay... but I don't think he has the ability to subdue us in an instant."

Elena shook her head slowly, biting her finger with a bewildered look, "So-is it going to block Hogwarts Castle? Search the castle from start to finish? Or search the Huberian? It's a joke or a joke. Secondly, the collapse of trust is more terrifying, but where did the problem go..."

"Well, there is actually another possibility..."

At this moment, Hannah said cautiously.

After such a long buffer, she roughly figured out what was going on.

"Huh? For example?" Elena tilted her head and looked at Hannah expectantly.

"We were not checking the wand just now to determine who cast the'forgotten spell' on you--"

Hannah glanced at Dumbledore and Grindelwald with a solemn expression, and blinked.

"Then, if all the wands present have to be checked, isn't there Elena, your own wand hasn't been checked yet?"

"So... you think I will chant a spell on myself?"

Elena said silently, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

She didn't know what to say about this silly.

Except for the accident in Lockhart's original work, who is a normal wizard who would recite the Forgetting Curse on himself?

You know, one of the reasons why the Forgotten Curse is not considered black magic is that there are clear and multiple ways to solve the spell—the most common of course is that the spellcaster takes the initiative to restore those erased memories, and part of the strength Powerful wizards can also recover by themselves.

Take, for example, the original Bertha Jorkins who was cast by Barty Crouch the old forgotten spell.

However, if the caster and the recipient are the same person... then the only way to recover this memory is to wait for a miracle.

"If that's the case, why not try it?"

Grindelwald whispered, his wand protruding forward and glanced at Elena thoughtfully.

"Alright alright--"

Elena shrugged helplessly.

She raised her wand and re-pointed it at the front end of Grindelwald's wand.

Of course, she hadn't forgotten that she had two wands—her other wand was also pulled out of her arms and pointed at the tip of Dumbledore's wand.

"Flashback to the previous curse!"

"Flashback to the previous curse!"

Dumbledore and Grindelwald chanted in unison ~www.readwn.com~ Then, two clouds of gray mist rushed out along the junction of Elena's wand and their wand.

"Block Hogwarts, and when I find that guy, I must put—"

Elena admired her curse, her tone without any ups and downs like ice.

until……

The gray mist gradually deformed.

Finally, it condenses into a miniature version of Elena.

She saw "Self" raise her wand and aim it at "Self"'s forehead.

"Forget it all."
