Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

When Voldemort thought that Professor Sglughorn might reveal that he had asked about Horcruxes, extreme murderous intent flashed through his heart.

However, due to the influence of many factors, he had to modify Professor Sgrahorn's memory.

Not only was he afraid of Dumbledore, but he also "repaid" the professor for taking care of him.

Voldemort believed that modifying the memory of someone who had mastered such a deep secret and was not yet with him was the greatest gift to Professor Sglughorn.

He has two methods for this memory, one is to directly delete the memory, which is simple and crude; the other is to modify the memory, which is a delicate job.

However, the elegant Lord Voldemort did not choose the first crude method.

This method damages the memory of the person being cast, and can easily leave traces.

Some wizards who are proficient in memory magic can follow the traces to find clues and restore deleted memories.

This is even more dangerous for Voldemort and is not what he wants to see at all.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Professor Sgrughorn himself was a master of memory magic, not to mention having Dumbledore by his side.

Based on their years of friendship, Professor Sgrughorn completely trusted Dumbledore, and there was a high chance that he would be allowed to access his memory.

If you meet some wizards with strong logic and proficiency in [Occlumency], they can find clues through reasoning, and then use their consciousness to encourage their subconscious mind to restore the memory to the subconscious mind.

It's a pity that almost every potions master is a logic master.

Memory is a magical existence.

It is in consciousness, on the surface of the soul, in the body.

There are many places to store it, and it is difficult to delete all memories including traces in each container when deleting memory.

Therefore, Voldemort chose the delicate task of modifying memory.

He is not like some fools in the "Memory Deletion Command of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters" who only know how to change things abruptly.

Of course, if the object of memory modification was a Muggle, Voldemort would probably modify it as roughly as he thought the fool would.

However, Voldemort generally does not modify the memory of Muggles, but sends a [Killing Curse]. The disappearance of life is a beautiful scenery to him, except for himself.

Due to cognitive differences, Muggles at this stage do not know that human memory can be modified.

Therefore, when they notice that their memories are a little strange, they don't think about it. Even if they think about it, they won't talk about it, because doing so will be considered a lunatic.

Wizards are different. Anyone who goes to school seriously will know the existence of the [Forgetting Curse], especially those students who intend to apply for the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, once a wizard realizes that something is wrong with his memory, their first or second reaction should be that someone has used memory magic on them.

When modifying Professor Sglughorn's memory, Voldemort was also thankful that it was just the two of them at that time, otherwise it would have been really difficult.

The memories involving Professor Sgrughorn himself were compiled by guiding the other person's memory, just like a dream.

We appear in an inexplicable and bizarre scene, but we don't feel strange at all. We still retain our own habits, do what we need to do in our dreams, and even have wonderful psychological activities.

Voldemort's memory modification is similar to this.

He was equivalent to turning that real memory into a dream, then modified some important contents in it, and then put his own and Professor Sgrughorn's consciousness into it.

Under his guidance, the plot gradually moves in the direction he needs.

Finally it ends, replacing the memory of the past.

Will this be found out?

Yes, but Voldemort can guarantee that Professor Sgrahorn will never be bored enough to experience every memory of his.

This is a huge project.

As masters of memory magic, they also have a crude method to check whether there is something wrong with their memory and restore it.

They call this method "memory flushing."

As the name suggests, the method is to mobilize all the memories you can mobilize and go in and experience it quickly.

This is to flush one's consciousness with memories. Every memory stored will leave traces on the consciousness, the surface of the soul and the body.

Use memory flushing, and those traces will emerge, and erroneous memories can be corrected.

However, few people use this method.

The predecessors of wizards have already conducted relevant experiments, which will lead to problems with consciousness, brain damage, and the most unacceptable damage to the soul.

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, in Professor Sgrughorn's ward.

"What's wrong, Horace? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

Professor Flitwick asked, looking at Professor Slughorn who looked a little strange.

After receiving the news of Professor Sgrughorn's attack, the professors at Hogwarts immediately took action.

Together they came to Professor Sgrahorn's ward.

Professor Flitwick was then left with Professor Slughorn.

Other professors went to attend a trial.

It was initiated by the Auror Command of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, and the target was Professor José Grahorn's friend, on suspicion of murdering the Dean and Professor of Hogwarts.

However, there are still people left behind at Hogwarts.

Hagrid, Filch and Madam Pomfrey were left in the shop in Hogsmeade to look after the store, with the new Professor Twining Woods following them to prevent any accidents.

Hogwarts was temporarily handed over to the care of the Forbidden Forest.

Originally, Grindelwald wanted to follow him and join in the fun, but was suppressed by Dumbledore's calm eyes.

"It's okay, Filius, I always feel like I'm missing something."

Professor Sgrughorn said with some sadness that he felt that he was indeed missing something, but he didn't know what it was.

"Call the doctor to come and take a look. It's a pity that Poppy isn't here, otherwise we could just ask her to come."

Professor Flitwick suggested.

"Huh? Let's forget it. Okay, let them take a look."

Professor Sgrughorn originally thought about refusing, but when he heard Professor Flitwick say Madam Pomfrey's name, he immediately changed his mind.

After speaking, he knocked on the small bell on the bedside, and the bell rang for a while.

After a while, the doctor came over.

Professor Flitwick told her the matter, and the doctor nodded, asked Professor Sgrughorn again, and after confirming that everything was correct, began the examination.

After several inspections, there was nothing wrong.

The doctor told him that it might be a leftover problem after being frightened by the attack, and that he would be fine after a few days of rest.

After giving Professor Sgrahorn a few words of advice, the doctor left.

Professor Flitwick and Professor Slughorn looked at each other, and both saw the speechlessness in the other's eyes.

"What do you think? Horace."

Professor Flitwick asked.

"No. There must be something wrong, but I don't know where it is."

Professor Sgrughorn frowned, his big belly bulging out.

"Would you like to try wand divination?"

Professor Flitwick said.

"Wand divination? Did you find anything else while we were gone?"

Dumbledore's voice came from the door, and the two of them looked to see that Professor Sgrughorn's friend was also there.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Professor Flitwick was surprised and told them what happened.

Everyone looked enlightened, except Sgraho

Professor En's friends are different.

He looked at Professor Sgrughorn on the hospital bed with a guilty look on his face.

"Holden, I'm fine, don't worry."

On the contrary, it was Professor Sgrughorn who spoke first to comfort him.

"I'm very sorry, Horace, I didn't know they were so rampant... I originally wanted to talk to you about the potion, who knew..."

Holden Greengrass said with a guilty face.

"It's okay, am I fine? Did the previous potion have an effect?"

Professor Sgrughorn comforted himself and changed the subject.

He knew the reason why Holden asked him out. This was not the first time.

The Greengrass family is burdened with a curse. In every generation of witches, one must be born with the curse of "Blood Curse".

This curse will continue to absorb nutrients from the host, slowly grow in the host, and then dominate the host's consciousness.

Unlike the Blood Curse Orc that Dumbledore knew, the host of the [Blood Curse] will not turn into an animal and still live. Death will be their final escape.

"Oh! It started well. Her face is rosier than before, her eyes are brighter and more flexible, and her voice is full of vitality."

When the father said this, his eyes were full of light.

But the depression soon subsided, and the professors present all sighed secretly, fate always gives people hope and despair.

"After a while, her condition returned to its original state. She was full of exhaustion when she called "Dad", as if she never got enough sleep. She is really sensible..."

As he spoke, tears gathered in the corners of the father's eyes.

Summer is coming, and the weather in London is quite good. The bright sunshine makes people lazy. Although it is a bit hot, there is never enough sunshine.

Soon, the father came to his senses and dealt with his emotions.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I heard that you opened a store in Hogsmeade. Let's go there next time. It will be safer. We can take her there to take a look. Although she has never bothered to go outside to take a look.

, but her eyes have always suppressed curiosity about the outside world..."

Holden said.

"Okay, we will treat you well. But things are not free."

Professor Sgrughorn said, and all the professors present smiled.

Later, Holden asked about wand divination, and he was very curious about it.

Professor Flitwick explained to him, then suspended his wand in the air and started divination.

The thing he asked was, "What's missing from Professor Sgrughorn?"

The wand was spinning in the air, swaying a little.

Seeing this, Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand in his hand, and a barrier surrounded everyone.

The wand quickly stabilized and pointed at Professor Sglughorn's head.

Everyone looked at each other strangely.

"Am I missing some hair?"

Professor Sgrughorn moved his head, and the tip of his wand followed the movement of his head.

But soon, he took pictures of his thoughts. If it was hair, it should be obvious and he could feel it directly.

"Could it be teeth? Some dark wizards like to use teeth to make gadgets."

Professor Flitwick speculated.

Professor Sgrughorn tapped his teeth and shook his head, indicating that there was no shortage.

"Could it be a memory? He may not have deleted your memory, but modified some key and subtle contents. In this way, you may feel a little strange, but it won't feel too abrupt."

Dumbledore thought for a while and said.

"Memory? Do I have any valuable memories that are not sealed with magic? If he is afraid that I will leak out, why doesn't he just go to me to sign the contract? I really can't think of any memories I have that threaten the survival of some people.

of."

Professor Sgrughorn wanted to laugh, but had to think carefully.

"Forget it, I'll check it out after I'm discharged from the hospital."

Professor Sgrughorn said.

Everyone nodded.

Everyone gave some ideas one after another, but Dumbledore's guess was the most reliable.

With many years of experience working together, Professor Sgrughorn chose to trust his judgment.

Then, Holden told them something.

As the patriarch of the Greengrass family, one of Britain's twenty-eight holy clans, it is outrageous that Holden was prosecuted by the Auror Command of the Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, the standard of this trial was ridiculously high. Not only did he take off his magical protective gear, but he also used magic and alchemy tools to test whether he was lying.

When Holden heard these requests, he almost went berserk. He took out his wand on the spot, pointed it at the director of the Auror Command, and started to curse.

And it’s very hard to hear. It’s because the Greengrass family gives less money every year, but it’s still not as good as other families...

The supervisor could only laugh with him. After he finished scolding him, he pulled him over and whispered to him the reason for the incident.

Some time ago, one of their spies who had infiltrated the Death Eater organization was discovered and was eventually thrown into the main hall on the eighth floor underground.

When they found out, the Auror was completely stunned. He didn't know who he was or his parents. He even needed help when eating and going to the toilet.

According to inspection, this Auror was tortured by more than one wizard under the Cruciatus Curse, and finally became what he is now.

For the Ministry of Magic, this is a slap in the face.

When the Minister of Magic and the directors of various departments found out, the anger on their faces was far greater than the sadness.

Professor Sgrughorn was attacked not long after this incident.

Therefore, they suspected that Holden was a member of the Death Eaters.

The final result was that Holden was found not guilty, and the Ministry of Magic paid a large sum of compensation to the Greengrass family.

Holden himself didn't want it, but the Ministry of Magic just caught his needs.

These are all precious potion materials, so he doesn't need to spend a lot of money to put a reward on them.

Professor Slughorn doesn't have all the materials, and he needs to use his family's power to find many of them.

Fortunately, Professor Sgrughorn's potion worked every time, otherwise he would have replaced him long ago.

When the professors found out about this, they all looked sad.

That was a familiar name, and an excellent child was ruined like this.
