Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Voldemort, this nickname sounds very sinister, and it is actually the same.

Compared with the notorious "Voldemort", the young Tom Riddle was actually more cunning than a snake.

At that time, because he had not yet developed enough magic power to create multiple life-saving Horcruxes, he always liked to do things step by step.

Commonly known as: keep one hand.

For example, when researching how to make Horcruxes, I first figured out how to absorb emotional power by harming magical creatures, and then developed "plug-in" equipment suitable for my own physique.

For another example, before setting up a "Death Eater Organization" with a stick and a flag, he had already researched such evil things as the "Dark Mark" and had already figured out how to use it——

When Voldemort fell for some reason, Yaxley had clearly cut ties with his colleagues and completely betrayed the other Death Eaters.

However, after receiving the communication spell from Peter Pettigrew, this guy regained his "loyalty" to his master.

Is this also done willingly?

Or is it true that Britain, a three-thirds of an acre of land, is as rich in loyalties as the legend has it?

Obviously, that's impossible.

The reason why Cobain Yaxley changed his mind so quickly was entirely because this guy was originally a Death Eater, and he was marked by Voldemort with the Dark Mark, which contained powerful curses and confusion spells.

It was Tom Riddle who secretly influenced his mind, first manipulating him to hibernate in the Forbidden Forest, and then letting him meet Lockhart.

Then, what is more interesting, and also shows the sinister character of Tom Riddle, is that the diary Horcrux immediately caused Corbain Yaxley to attack Gilderoy Lockhart, knocking the parallel professor unconscious past.

Next, Tom Riddle asked Yaxley to brainwash Lockhart, making him completely forget about the diary and the attack.

[Don’t worry, everything is going according to plan]

The Forbidden Forest, which had just rained, was wet everywhere, but the diary held by Coban Yaxley in both hands was still extremely dry, except that a ball of ink seemed to seep out from the depths of the paper, forming some words.

[Everything I need you to do will be done soon, and you will soon be able to go back to where you came from]

"No, no, no, great master! That's not what I meant. It is an honor to serve you. I have absolutely no..."

Yaxley still wanted to explain.

However, before the nervous guy could finish telling the story, new writing quickly appeared on the diary.

[Quiet, don’t panic, I don’t blame you. 】

[You have changed Gilderoy Lockhart's memory, and followed my request - found bird and snake eggs from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and made props for him that can disguise his poor magic - next, All you have to do is wait here and hand the diary back to him. 】

Tom Riddle's words seemed to have a strong commanding magic. Yaxley almost instinctively quieted down and followed his inner choice to perform the task according to his master's orders.

Even though Tom Riddle didn't actually explain why he went to so much trouble to first change Gilderoy Lockhart's memory, and then thoughtfully gave him a set of plug-in equipment.

"A tool is a tool, and there is no need to have the ability to think." Tom Riddle, the Horcrux living in the diary, thought to himself, but these words were not translated into words. “When necessary, tools can be put to their best use as long as they are useful.”

-

"It's really useful."

As soon as Gilderoy Lockhart stood up, he immediately used his wand to cast a spell on himself, a very simple waterproof and moisture-proof spell.

However, if it were before, it would be extremely difficult for him to use any magic spell except the Forgetfulness Curse.

Even if it can barely be used, there will probably be an accident.

But after accidentally digging out the pearl chain from the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and hanging it on his wand, everything got better.

Well, why is there a chain that I have never seen before in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office?

A souvenir from a previous trip to Scandinavia?

Or was it something left behind by the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?

When Lockhart thought of the chain, some doubts arose in Lockhart's mind, but then he thought deeply...whatever, as long as it works.

Even if someone else had left that thing behind, would he still foolishly return it? It's not like he hasn't done similar things before.

My heart felt relieved, and I suddenly felt that the world was wider. Even, because of this realization, Lockhart also forgot to think about why he didn't sleep tonight even though he had a good bed, and sneaked into the secret passage that had been found by several young wizards in the middle of the night, and then sneaked out all the way. Arriving in the Forbidden Forest.

Well, he doesn’t understand why either…

And in this stunned moment, a magic spell suddenly shot out from the dense bushes nearby.

Although this spell did not have any eye-catching and exciting light and shadow effects, it still caught an adult wizard like Lockhart instantly.

Yaxley walked out of the bushes, regardless of how wet he was - because he had just cast a new spell, so he had to remove the waterproof and moisture-proof spell on his body - and kept pointing his wand at Lockhart. , with trembling lips, he kept chanting the spell to maintain the effect of the spell.

"Imperio (soul out of body)..."

This spell is the Imperius Curse.

As an average Death Eater, he was obviously not as skilled in using the Unforgivable Curse as the martial arts faction in the organization, so he could only recite the curse constantly to ensure success.

However, things look very good now. Gilderoy Lockhart is no longer conscious under the control of the Imperius Curse.

[Give Lockhart the diary]

A new line of text appeared in Tom Riddle's diary. Not only that, this sentence also sounded in Yaxley's heart.

This means that after so many days of companionship, Cobain Yaxley has been completely "pickled" by the diary.

"Okay, okay, okay, master." Yaxley replied with a stutter.

He held the diary very obediently and walked to Lockhart, who was standing blankly. He moved his hands up and down, trying to find a suitable pocket to put the diary in.

Yaxley even lifted Lockhart's wizard robe, and Tom Riddle finally couldn't help but said something: [Idiot, it was left in his hands]

After being reprimanded, Yaxley hurriedly followed suit, but just as he thrust the diary into the hands of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, an accident happened suddenly.

Yaxley's hand touched the diary, and Lockhart's hand also touched the Horcrux - which seemed to trigger some kind of protective mechanism - Lockhart's hand holding the wand suddenly raised , facing Yaxley in front of him with a "Petrified Everything". Unprepared, the latter was naturally struck and was petrified with a look of astonishment on his face.

This is not over yet.

When Yaxley was temporarily unable to resist, a black smoke suddenly rose from the diary and completely enveloped it.
