The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 64 Potions and Memory

Back in Hampshire, Southampton, 86 Eastleigh Road, Jon Hart's summer vacation begins.

On the first day he came back, the bamboo wand was thrown into the innermost layer of the suitcase and wrapped in a towel.

Because of the existence of "trace threads", one cannot cast spells at home.

Trace Wire will record the release of magic from underage wizards and their surroundings. Once magic fluctuations are found, the Ministry of Magic's Office of Misuse of Magic will immediately send you a letter to warn you, or even be expelled from Hogwarts in severe cases. The density of wizards is high, and the entire Southampton city may have only one wizard.

He is not the protagonist, so he can't get any preferential treatment; Jon doesn't want to break his wand, clear his memory, and continue to come back to be an ordinary person because of an accident.

But he wasn't completely idle either.

Magic can't be used, but potions can still be paired...

After all, you don't need to wave a wand or recite a spell to configure a potion.

As early as the day he came back, using Snape's "name", Jon bought a lot of magic materials and a few more advanced magic books in the potions store in Diagon Alley.

In addition, in mid-June, he rented a cottage on Eastleigh Road, about 500 yards from his home.

Then, the crucibles, glass bottles, and potion materials were all moved.

After all, there may be some accidents or even danger in the configuration of the potion, and it is not safe to put it at home.

...

After the summer vacation started, the first thing Jon started to prepare was a pot of compound decoction...

After many transformations in the last semester, the stock of compound decoction has been used up a lot and needs to be replenished; and with the experience of the last time, it is obviously a lot more proficient in the configuration this time.

At the same time, he also began to try to configure "Warrior Potion" and "Enhancing Potion".

Both of these potions are important parts of the OWLs exam, and generally, third- and fourth-year students at Hogwarts will try to learn them.

The "Warrior Potion" is similar to adrenaline, which can enhance people's reaction, speed, and strength in a short period of time. For wizards, it can make their spellcasting easier; however, there are certain side effects. After taking time, the body will experience into a state of weakness.

The "enhancing agent" needs to be used together with other agents, which can significantly enhance the effect of other agents; for example, when used together with compound decoction, it can increase the transformation time, and continuous use of compound decoction can continue the transformation effect. (no longer reverted).

These two potions are relatively simple ones found by Jon, and they also have a certain practical value (most of the potions learned in the potions class in the first, second and third grades are only worth the practice of young wizards. ).

As for the more meaningful potions such as Fuling Elixir, Veritaserum Potion or Ecstasy Potion... Although Jon had read the relevant content in that "Power Potion" before, its cumbersome and complicated configuration steps, Still let him stop.

He is only a first-year graduate of Hogwarts. Even if he has a little talent in potions, he still needs constant study and practice before he is qualified to explore deeper potions.

...

In addition to configuring the potion, Jon also took some time.

After becoming "Varian Wrynn", he went to the hardware store of Mr Robert Wilson, 21 Winchester Road.

Another sum of money was given to Mr. Wilson, and Jon asked him to help him customize a batch of silver bullets.

"Silver bullets?" Mr. Wilson asked inexplicably. "Silver is very soft, and bullets made from it can't cause any damage at all... Why do you make such a strange request, Wrynn?"

"I said I was there to deal with werewolves, do you believe it?" Varian Wrynn said with a half-smile.

"Stop joking!" The owner of the hardware store shook his head. "How could there be werewolves in this world... What type of bullet do you need?"

"0.357 Magnum and 5.45mm pistol rounds, come here!"

"Okay, I'll help you get it done within a month!"

The 1993-1994 school year didn't seem to require much preparation, except for a few silver bullets, all Jon could think of was a bright flashlight (werewolves are afraid of bright light and silverware).

But Hogwarts' electronics are out of order except for the Requirement Room, so it's better to bring a few candles.

Of course, Jon didn't forget to find a set of calendars and circled all the full moon nights in the coming year based on what he had learned in astronomy class.

Finally, he went to the Waitrose supermarket and bought two bags of high-quality dog ​​food with a longer shelf life, just in case.

He also moved these prepared things into the newly rented hut and put them away.

...

Jon, who was idle and bored, had no choice but to read the white booklet Lockhart left him.

The Oblivion Spell is more esoteric than all the spells Jon has learned before, but it's not a very complicated spell in the strict sense.

After all, it's the most widely used spell by many of the Ministry of Magic staff.

However, the forgetting spell used by Gilderoy Lockhart is obviously different from the ordinary one.

For ordinary Ministry staff who need to use the oblivion spell, their spell only needs to make Muggles forget about the past few hours.

And if Lockhart wants to achieve his goal of stealing the target's results, he needs to delete the target's memories of the past few years, or even more than ten years.

Not to mention that the workload is completely different; more importantly, once the memory for such a long period of time is rudely deleted, no matter how stupid people lose years or decades of memory, I am afraid they will soon discover the abnormality.

Once exposed once, Lockhart's reputation has long been disgraced...

Therefore, when Lockhart uses the forgetting spell, he usually creates a set of false memories first, and then replaces them with the part of the memory he wants to delete.

After modifying the target's memory, the target will not have any strange thoughts.

This method is obviously much more difficult and complicated than the ordinary method.

If it's in school, I'm afraid Jon won't spend too much time on such a short-term ineffective spell (after all, he won't be like Lockhart, to be a charlatan).

But now he can't use magic, and he can't find a few books at hand.

I was idle and bored, so I had to bite the bullet and forcibly memorize the contents of the white booklet.

Fortunately, Lockhart made a lot of marks and notes on the pamphlet, so that Jon's understanding would not be too difficult...

He felt that after a month of hard work, he still had a little understanding of the Oblivion Curse... Although he had not undergone any experiments, he did not know to what extent.
