days at Hogwarts

Chapter 136 Memory Magic
If you say so, then I will believe it.Loren muttered silently.

At least from the perspective of analyzing the rune of the hand mirror, analyzing the ability of the mirror and repairing the mirror surface, Flamel is indeed a master of alchemy and very reliable.

Thinking of this, Loren bid farewell to Flamel, quit the book of fantasy, and planned to write a letter to Hagrid, asking him to pay attention to the unicorn's horn.

Loren lay on the bed and opened his eyes, his eyes wandered to the ceiling, and then he remembered that Hanhan had delivered a letter to Grandpa Bates and hadn't come back yet.

It doesn't make sense, Hanhan's delivery speed should be back anyway.

Why did it take so long for Grandpa Bates to revisit his hometown and swim back to the Pacific battlefield?
Unable to figure out the answer, Loren sighed. It seemed that he had to wait until Hanhan came back, or the next semester started before he could find a way to find out about the unicorn.

Outside the window, the night is as quiet as ink, and the stars and the moon are shining.

In the following days, Loren lived at Granger's house. Generally speaking, the atmosphere was very harmonious, with only occasional friction.

A sunny morning.

On the desk by the bedroom window, Loren immersed himself in writing and drawing on the book.

He was sorting out information on Occlumency, Legilimency, and the Forgetting Curse.Before the start of the holiday, Loren had planned to learn these spells, but due to the special nature of his memory, he couldn't practice against others, so he could only learn by himself.

In the end, it still fell on the learning method that Loren has always adhered to, establishing a comprehensive knowledge system, combined with his unique intuition talent, and practicing spells with twice the result with half the effort.

Loren believes that these three kinds of magic are all related to memory, and they must have some commonalities and similarities in the principle of magic.

This conjecture was affirmed after consulting Flamel.Classify this type of magic as memory magic.

Human memory is stored in two parts, the brain and the soul.

Needless to say, the memory stored in the brain, as early as a long time ago, people discovered that the deep memory can be awakened by hammering the brain. If it cannot be awakened, it may be that the hammering is not strong enough.

As far as Loren knew, neurons in the brain and the hippocampus were involved in memory.

The memory in the soul is proved by the ghosts of Hogwarts. After they leave the body, they still retain the memory of their lifetime.

If we find out how the memory magic works, it will have a multiplier effect on learning and practice.

The most basic form of Occlumency involves emptying the mind from thinking, remembering, and feeling, thereby preventing others from reading one's emotions and thoughts.A more advanced form of Occlumency is the construction of false thoughts, emotions, and memories to create an "illusion."

Using Occlumency requires a great deal of willpower and requires a high degree of mental and emotional self-discipline.Occlumency can also affect the effects of Veritaserum and Imperius.

From this, Loren determined that Occlumency not only seals the brain, but also works on the soul.

Beginners' Legilimency can use eyes as a medium to spy on the other person's thoughts when they look at each other, to know whether they are lying, and to study their emotions and memories.

Highly accomplished wizards have even more sophisticated methods. They can easily enter people's minds and even produce some changes in other people's minds.

The incantation of the Forgetting Charm is [All Forgetting], which is used to erase a specific memory. This spell was invented by the witch Nemoen Radford, who became the first amnestic at the Ministry of Magic.

The Oblivion Charm became a designated spell under the Statute of Secrecy and was often used to erase Muggle memories of magic.The former Minister of Magic Ottaline Gamble decided to use the Hogwarts Express as a means of transportation for young wizards to and from Hogwarts.This large-scale project involved 167 oblivion spells and the largest concealment spell ever built in Britain.

The danger of the Oblivion Charm is that, if cast incorrectly, the Oblivion Charm can erase more important parts of a person's memory and cause irreversible brain damage.

The Forgetting Charm is often used in conjunction with the False Memory Charm. After erasing the memory, implanting a false memory can better prevent people from discovering the loophole.

In addition, some scholars have suggested that torture with a strong purpose may break the spell of forgetting.However, the Ministry of Magic banned related experiments because the idea was too cruel.

The nib of the pen squeezes the paper, leaving the ink to soak through.Because he had been using quills at Hogwarts, Loren was a little uncomfortable when he returned to ordinary people to use pens.

Loren recalled the above-mentioned information, and wrote down the key contents in the notebook with slanted fonts.

"【Calling the Guardian】" Hermione's crisp voice sounded from behind.

The silver light of the patron saint flickered behind Loren's head, making it difficult to concentrate.

Loren had a toothache and said helplessly, "Why do you have to come to my room to practice the Patronus Charm?"

Not just the bedroom, no matter where Loren is doing, Hermione will always appear beside him, and then start [Calling God for Protection], shining like a light bulb.

Hearing the sound, Hermione put away her wand, the silver light disappeared, and said, "I can be wherever I want, and I'm urging you, you should practice the Patronus Charm with me!"

As she spoke, the girl bent over Loren's shoulder and read his notes.

Loren smelled the fresh scent of lavender on the girl's body, and there was also an unnamed floral scent, which was the scent of laundry detergent and shampoo on her body.

"Forgetting the Curse?" Hermione read, looking at the words in the notebook.

She frowned, "We should finish learning one spell before learning the next one. The most important thing you should practice now is the Patronus Charm. Your Patronus hasn't formed yet!"

After returning from camping, the progress of the Patronus Charm of both of them has advanced a lot. It is manifested that when the spell is cast, the silver light of the non-physical Patronus swells a lot.

Loren responded without sincerity: "Yes, it makes sense, it is indeed the case."

Hermione looked at this man, patted him on the shoulder, gritted her teeth and said, "My Patronus is no longer getting bigger, the next step is to congeal, I will summon the physical Patronus before you. "

"But my patron saint is still getting bigger. How do I know how big it can get?" Loren sighed.

Hermione's patron saint silver light group, about the size of her own body.But the ball of light he cast the Patronus Charm with all his strength was already bigger than the tree in the courtyard.There is no sign of condensation at all.

Hermione said in a tone of hatred, "Then you should practice more."

Loren had a headache seeing Hermione's serious look, this little witch is really stubborn.

"Hermione, Loren! Tea is ready, come down and have something to eat." Monica's voice came from downstairs.

"Coming!" Hermione said loudly.

The girl put away her wand and hopped down the stairs.

Loren closed the pen cap, put away the notebook, followed Hermione's jumping pigtails, and wobbled downstairs.

In front of the white lacquered fireplace, a low tea table with sumptuous pastries, scones covered with cream and strawberry jam, fruit tarts with apples and peaches, and a large mango mousse, served in sets of four A teacup with a violet pattern on a white background.

Monica sat with Wendell, filling tea cups from a similar teapot.

Loren sat down, picked up a scone and took a bite, being careful not to scatter the crumbs everywhere, before swallowing the inarticulate rainbow fart.

"This scone is delicious, crispy on the outside, but soft and glutinous on the inside." Loren picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, swallowed it and then said, "Monica, your cooking skills are so good, you bake a lot Even the chef may not be able to make such a delicious pastry."

Wendell and Monica smiled slightly after listening.

But Hermione couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.Doesn't her mother know that cooking is okay, but it is definitely impossible to make pastries. Generally, refreshments are bought from outside bakeries.

Hermione tugged on Loren's sleeve, laughing so much that she almost slipped on the ground, "The refreshments were bought outside, not my mother's, hahaha..."

"It tastes really good," Loren let Hermione tug at his sleeves, and took another bite of the scones without changing his expression. "What were you talking about just now?"

Changing the topic stiffly, Hermione laughed more violently, her lung capacity was not enough, her laughter became thinner, she kept beating on the sofa with her hands, "cluck, giggle..."

It's rare to see Loren pretending to be smart and deflated, so Hermione laughed so much.

Wendell coughed, "Remember the water camping we talked about in the car? We chatted and talked about Hermione's graduation trip."

"Graduation trip?" Loren adhered to the principle that as long as I am not embarrassed, no one will be embarrassed.

Monica glanced at Hermione, who was holding her stomach to restrain her smile, and said helplessly, "If it goes according to the normal situation, Hermione will be admitted to Oxford University after graduating from high school, or other places she likes." School."

Hermione finally stopped. She touched the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Monica.

Monica continued: "We plan to take a long trip abroad in the summer when she receives the admission letter, and we are discussing where to go."

Wendell turned out his palm, "Now, you know, the situation is different."

Their daughter had gone to wizarding school, and she would not be going to university, which the Grangers regretted.

"Mom~" Hermione said coquettishly, "We can also travel after I graduate from Hogwarts. Many wizards will travel around after graduation, and they will settle down after a few years."

She leaned over, squeezed Wendell away, took Monica's arm, and said with a shake, "Let's go see the kangaroos and koalas you've always wanted to see. How about we go to Australia?"

Monica smiled and pushed her hand away, "If you want to go, just say you want to go, don't trust me."

Hermione hugged her up again, "Then I want to see the kangaroos, why don't you go with me."

Monica didn't bother to pay attention to her, picked up the teacup and took a small sip, with an uncontrollable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Wendell watched his daughter pestering his mother and acting like a spoiled child, which was more or less tasteful. He didn't know whether he was jealous of his daughter or his wife.

Hermione had only been so clingy before she was four years old, and she became reserved when she was older and sensible, and the situation became more serious after going to school. This time, she let go after returning from Hogwarts.

Wendell coughed and announced, "We plan to reopen the clinic tomorrow."

Hermione turned her head and stared at him with wide eyes, "Why? Don't you have two weeks to stay with me?"

Wendell said quietly: "Because you don't accompany us anymore, you pull Loren to practice magic all day long, and you don't care about your parents at all."

Hermione held Monica in one arm, and pulled Wendell with the other, comforting her, "I care, I care."

The two were mainly afraid that Hermione would have no friends at school and be alone at home, which would be bad for her mental health.

But now that Hermione was pulling Loren to practice magic all day long, Granger and his wife felt that the little padded jacket was no longer close to their skin to keep them warm, and at the same time they were less worried about Hermione's mental health.

The main reason is that the summer vacation is here and the temperature is rising. Many patients eat ice cream and eat their teeth. They call to urge them to open up.

Wendell and Monica discussed it and thought it would be good to keep the two children at home and play by themselves. From this perspective, they are very grateful to Loren.

Hermione and the couple got bored for a while, and seeing that the pastry was almost eaten, she pulled Loren up and ran upstairs again.

In the atmosphere just now, she felt that Loren was a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly dragged Loren upstairs, and she was also very interested in the Oblivion Curse.

Looking at their daughter's back, Wendell and Monica sighed at the same time, the little padded jacket is leaking.

Entering the room, Hermione hooked her feet and closed the door, and went towards the notebook.

Loren reached out to protect the notebook, and said quietly, "Shouldn't you be talking about kangaroos?"

This is the person who, in front of him, a child born in an orphanage and living in a classmate's house, is tired of being there, but he has to be rude as a guest.

"Kangaroos are not as interesting as magic." Hermione grabbed Loren's hand, trying to take out the notebook.

Loren squinted at her, "You're right, but the permanent population of the Vatican is less than 1000 people, and at the same time, there are 500 million kangaroos in Australia alone."

Hermione froze in place. She had a premonition that Loren's next words would be wrong, but she still asked, "Ah, so?"

"If kangaroos decide to invade the Vatican, every Vatican will kill 5 kangaroos, you don't know, you don't care, you only care about yourself."

"Pfft!" Hermione couldn't hold back.

Then a stronger smile surged from his belly, and laughter spurted out from his nose and mouth, "Hahahahaha!!"

"Look, you don't care, you only care about yourself," Loren repeated.

Hermione laughed louder, and her stomach ached again after she had stopped for a while, and she fell on her back on the quilt, curled up and laughed non-stop, "One person has to beat 5 kangaroos haha——"

Her stomach hurts so much, the more she laughs, the more it hurts, but she can't stop, she just keeps laughing while covering her stomach, laughing until her shoulders twitch.

　I wish all the examinees a bright future and a bright future, and the merits will not be donated.
