Chapter 1049 The person who attacked Elena (big chapter!)(1/2)
In the magical world, the boat of friendship often capsizes at the drop of a hat.
Putting aside those weird potions, the mental magic alone is enough to give people a headache.
As a traveler who "accidentally broke into" this world, Elena's vigilance in this regard is almost as high as that of two or three "Mad Eye Moodys". Before going to bed every night, she will use "Memory"
"Ball" to ensure that your memory has not been tampered with.
Whether it is tampering with memory or deleting memory... these will inevitably leave gaps in the original memory chain.
Unless it is similar to the previous "multi-expert consultation" for Peter Pettigrew, in most cases the memory ball can be used to detect abnormalities.
Maybe she can't avoid attacks forever, but she can at least launch a counterattack as soon as possible after suffering some fooling. Even leaving aside the Gringotts Fairy Queen, the eldest lady of the Destiny Group, the Foundation O5-Miss Fool... these prominent identities
, in certain specific situations, her personal strength alone can now achieve the lethality that is no less than that of top wizards such as Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
"Ms. Arkhipovna, I'm sorry, please step aside for a moment."
Elena said calmly, her eyes wandering among the other people in the room for a few seconds.
"Next, we may have a brief meeting..."
The hybrid Veela's magical power is developed to such an extent that she can clearly remember the details of every event that occurred within a week.
Therefore, from the perspective of the most basic physiological structure, it denies the possibility 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 part of her memory...
Considering the schedule during this period, there is a high probability that the "murderer" is hidden among the people present.
…………
Click.
The door was closed again.
At the same time, the invisible magic barrier unfolded instantly.
Magic ripples like a tidal wave swept across the ground, passed over the ceiling, and soaked silently at the end of the wall, instantly forming an "absolute chamber" that could not transmit information to the outside world. The person who cast the spell was Professor Dumbledore, so
Didn't provoke any violent reaction.
"Well, let's make a long story short..."
Elena said softly, gently pulled out the wand, and held it in her hand like a sword.
"Obviously, looking back from now to the last 'memory self-examination', during this time, my memory has lost a small piece..."
The Deathly Hallows necklace on her chest flashed with a glimmer of light.
Even if Dumbledore and Grindelwald team up to attack her now, they still can't make her lose her fighting ability with the first blow.
Of course, the reason why the two old wizards drew out their wands was not to preemptively strike in such a narrow space. Elena's combat power was almost the strongest among them all. They were more to stabilize the girl and rescue her in time.
"murderer".
"Memory...lost? How interesting."
Grindelwald stroked his wand with his fingers, grinned, and was the first to break the silence.
"So, do you have any clues now? Girl, the only ones who have the chance to take action against you are the people here, right?"
“Not impressed 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, being so smart, would have realized something was wrong.
On the other hand, this also shows that compared to implantation and memory tampering, the probability of her falling under the forgetting curse is greater.
"Well, let me think about it, the last 'memory test' was the night before yesterday, that is, after boarding the ship..."
Elena whispered to herself, combing through them one by one, and replaying what had happened before.
Because of the amber mechanism and the captain’s identity and authority.
The Hyperion is almost an absolutely safe place.
"...After destroying the basilisk, you arrived directly at the principal's office, right?"
Grindelwald analyzed with great interest, without any awareness that he himself was one of the major suspects.
"Immediately afterwards, you and your friends went back to the bedroom and stayed there until this morning...then went to the Room of Requirement, then walked through the Room of Requirement to the principal's office, and then several of us arrived at the institute together. The scene and the people involved were not the same.
not much……"
The first generation Dark Lord said softly and slowly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"The principal's office, bedroom, Room of Requirement, Research Institute... plus the castle corridor at most, that's all, right?"
"Well, I have to add another place..."
At this moment, Hermione, who was standing next to Elena, raised her hand cautiously.
"After returning to the bedroom yesterday, we sneaked out again."
"Huh? Did you sneak out once?"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and looked at the little beaver gently.
"Miss Granger, what did you mean by 'getting out' just now?"
“Outside the castle, of course it’s not that far away, 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 the window and went home to celebrate Christmas. This shouldn't violate any school rules, right? And we came back before twelve o'clock, so it doesn't count as staying out all night. We took the opportunity to
Also found a security loophole for Hogwarts."
"...Uh, um, um. From the...window of the principal's office?"
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, he raised his hand to rub his brow, and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, so now there is one more suspicious place to investigate. If it involves outside the school, it will be much more complicated."
"It's not that difficult actually, Granger."
Elena said calmly and handed the memory ball in Hermione's hand.
"You hold it tightly and see if it changes color, and then pass it to Luna. If both of you change color, then it means that we were together when the 'attack' happened. Lockhart will do the rest.
Professor, Professor Dumbledore...is very simple, right?"
If the "murderer" attacked her and the little 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 we say...
"Is it all...white? How interesting."
Elena looked at the memory ball passed between Hermione and Luna.
Different from the bright red light that bloomed when it was in her hand, the inside of the memory ball turned into white mist again.
Obviously, this was not a large-scale group capture, but a secret operation targeting her alone.
Then, there are only three possibilities left:
When she was alone, someone cast a forgetting spell on her.
The little wings united and cast a forgetting spell on her in the bedroom.
Or maybe everyone present united at a certain time and cast a forgetting spell on her.
Taking into account the actual situation and probability issues, the possibility of the latter two situations combined is not even one in ten thousand. After all, if such a thing really happened, she would have been trained into some kind of human weapon by now, instead of
In this way, we carefully analyze the logic in the secret room.
"Wait, wait...I haven't..."
Hannah watched helplessly as the memory ball passed from Hermione's hands to Luna's, and then back to Elena's hands.
As expected, the pure white mist was instantly dyed with a rich red halo.
"Well, Hannah, you don't have to wait until we find the answer later. You can play as long as you want."
Elena thought for a moment and then said seriously, then turned her head to look at the other wizards.
"Well, now that the situation is clear, 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 manipulation of the soul. It's too dangerous. As a person who has traveled through time, she attaches great importance to this aspect to an almost pathological level. She will never allow others to have the possibility.
A chance to turn her into some sort of humanoid doll.
On the other hand, most of the wizards present also had somewhat solemn expressions.
If Elena might have been attacked, then it was certainly possible that they would 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 everyone in the room, swinging the wand back and forth carelessly in her hand, and said softly.
"We all know that there is a simple way to identify the content of the spells cast by a wand within a certain period of time. This should be the fastest and safest method, what do you think? Or you can do it now
Start explaining why?”
