Chapter 66: A Different Kind of Brain Closure
"Believe me, Neville. That potion merchant is the most amazing person I have ever met. He is from my hometown. There are unique potions there. Perhaps St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries has not tried this kind of potion yet."
Hope felt helpless and could only talk nonsense.
"Well, Hope, thank you for the potion."
Under Hope's enthusiasm, Neville could only take it and thank him.
"Of course, I just heard that potion merchant say that. You can go to Snape to verify whether this bottle of potion exists. I think he should have a say."
Looking at Neville's appearance, it seems that he just reluctantly accepted it because he really couldn't refuse. After all, these are Neville's parents, so he should be cautious. So Hope could only suggest that he believed Snape still had some skills in his profession.
""Snape...Snape!"
Harry, Ron and Neville couldn't help but widen their eyes and screamed after hearing what Hope said. What a shocking proposal, that was Snape.
At least among the first-year students, besides Harry, who was targeted the most by Snape, the other one was Neville.
Neville's memory was not good, which caused him to cause trouble in Potions class. Therefore, Snape's harsh words to Neville could be often heard in Potions class, which directly developed a stress response in Neville. He would tremble with fear when he heard the name Snape.
"Or... forget it."
Neville said timidly. He really didn't have the ability to face Snape.
Hope couldn't help but feel a headache. He could understand Neville. Anyone with Neville's temper would be like this. But Snape was indeed the professor of Potions. Others were not as professional as him. It was impossible to bypass him.
And if Neville hadn't confirmed that the potion was effective, he would not have sent it to his grandmother.
It felt like things had fallen into a dead end.
Several people in the dormitory fell silent, and they couldn't think of a better way for a while.
"Forget it for now, I'll find a way to verify its efficacy."
Hope finally took the potion back, not because he really had no other way, but he felt that his behavior might be ill-considered.
If Neville didn't want to face Snape, he could just hand the potion to Dumbledore. After all, Neville's parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix, and Dumbledore would not stand by and watch them die.
But Hope thought about it, both Dumbledore and Snape knew Legilimency, and of course they shouldn't use it on a student. When asked about the source of the potion, Neville probably wouldn't be able to hide it, and his eyes would eventually focus on him.
He could just talk nonsense and insist that it came from a magical potion merchant, and there was nothing they could do.
But... these two people could tell that he was lying.
So Hope planned to solve the problem of brain occlusion first, or let Neville's parents go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sicknesses. Stay in the courtyard for a while.
At night, the moonlight outside shines through the window and falls on the floor. The lights in the dormitory are off and a few snoring sounds can be heard from time to time.
Hope suffered from insomnia, which was rare. He spent the whole night thinking about how to solve the problem of Occlumency, but found that there was no solution!
He felt that no matter what characteristics the magical animals might have, they had nothing to do with Occlumency, which really troubled him.
At least the magical creatures he knew did not have such magical abilities, but he didn't know if they existed in his hometown.
If you want to target Legilimency, you don't necessarily have to use Occlumency. It would be good if there was an ability to create false memories. However, he thought about it for a long time without any results, and finally he could only lock his target on the leopard.
The leopard has the ability of Legilimency, and Legilimency and Occlumency are actually very related, one is a spear and the other is a shield.
If he had mastered Legilimency, could he resist the Legilimency of others? After all, the best defense is offense.
After thinking about it, Hope couldn't help but sigh. It seemed unlikely. In the end, they would just be looking through each other's memories. Their own memories would not be well protected. If he really wanted to attack, wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient for him to use Dragon Breath Flame? That would be all.
Or maybe he could use the Amnesia Venom. Since the other party wanted to check his memory, he might as well forget his memory first.
Suddenly, Huo Xi sat up abruptly with a look of surprise. This seemed more feasible.
In the final analysis, the brain occlusion technique was to clear the thoughts in one's mind, and Legilimency was not really able to look through a person's memory at will. It was just able to perceive the current thoughts and related memories.
If he used the Amnesia Venom to forget his current thoughts... If he had used the Forgetful Poison, wouldn't it be possible to achieve the same effect as the Occlumency technique...
But... when he turned on the Forgetful Poison, his body instinctively had resistance, which meant he had to turn it on and off, which was a bit troublesome, but the feasibility was not low.
Although the Forgetful Sweet Water had no resistance, it could not achieve the special effect of the Forgetful Poison. At most, it could only clear negative emotions and relax the body and mind.
Suddenly, Hope's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
Why should I forget myself? Instead of forgetting myself, wouldn't it be better to make the other person forget?
When others used Legilimency on him, he would use the Forgetful Poison on them, wouldn't that just offset it! When others invaded his memory, he would knead their brains, and before they invaded his thoughts and obtained the relevant memories, he would directly use the Forgetful Poison to make them forget.
Hope didn't expect that the Forgetful Poison and Legilimency were a perfect match.
Under his control, he could only delete the thoughts and related memories obtained by others, which was equivalent to no invasion.
After worrying for a long time, it turned out that the key to solve the problem was in his hands. Hope lay down with a smile on his face, made some sweet water of forgetfulness and swallowed it. He felt relaxed and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Hope took Neville to Snape's office. Although Harry and Ron didn't want to face Snape, they followed him anyway.
Although Hope didn't want to face Snape's face, he chose the sarcastic Snape instead of facing the shrewd Dumbledore.
They had just arrived at the door of the office when they saw Snape coming out of the office. It seemed that he wanted to go to the auditorium for breakfast.
"Professor Snape, can I ask you a question?"
Neville was full of fear, but he had to muster up the courage to ask.
Seeing them, Snape instantly put on a gloomy look, his eyes first fell on Harry, and then on Neville.
"Mr. Longbottom, if you want to ask about potions, my advice to you is to give up. It doesn't matter what the question is. You only have a troll's brain, how can you learn to brew potions? Your rough hands like a troll will only mess everything up."
Snape showed a faint sneer and mocked with all his strength.
