Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

Chapter 91 The Good and Evil of the Oblivion Spell

During the summer vacation, Vizette had already made learning the Oblivion Spell his goal.

Naturally, after school started, he would immediately look for various magic books related to it in the library.

Compared with those ancient black magics, the Oblivion Spell has not existed for a long time.

The Oblivion Spell can be traced back to the 16th century and was invented by a witch named "Nemone Radford".

Once the Oblivion Spell was invented, it was immediately widely used and accepted by a large number of wizards to eliminate Muggles' memories of magic and wizards.

Because of this magic, the Ministry of Magic also specially added a position - Memory Cancellation Officer, and Nemoen Radford was the first Memory Cancellation Officer.

The emergence of the Oblivion Spell greatly accelerated the signing of the "International Statute of Wizarding Confederation Secrecy".

However, Nemoen Radford, who made such a great contribution, failed to enter the Chocolate Frog picture card and become a well-known wizard.

Most wizards today know the Oblivion Spell, but they don't know who invented it.

Even in the History of Magic, it was just mentioned briefly without detailed analysis.

In response to this, Vizette found the answer in the vast collection of books in the library.

Nemoen Radford wrote an autobiography called "Confession in Memory, Suffering in Forgetting".

In the autobiography, Nemoen Radford compared the Oblivion Spell with the Killing Spell, claiming that using this magic is murdering memory.

Being able to invent such a magic, her exploration in magic is beyond doubt.

Vizette can feel Nemoen Radford's thinking about the Oblivion Spell and her interpretation of the soul from the lines of this book.

In Nemoen Radford's view, the Oblivion Spell can murder a person at the soul level by murdering memory.

She also raised a question similar to the "Ship of Theseus". If a wizard uses the Oblivion Spell to completely erase a person's memory, is this person still the same person?

This person who was hurt by the Forget Spell needs to relearn everything he had, reconnect with his relatives, build his own hobbies, and understand his talents...

When this person who was hurt by the Forget Spell completes the reconstruction of his memory and gains new life experiences, can he restore his original personality?

The inventor of the Forget Spell thought about many related questions, but was unable to give corresponding answers.

As the Ministry of Magic promoted the Forget Spell, wizards often had no scruples about using this magic.

The Ministry of Magic intended to positively shape the Forget Spell and make it the foundation for protecting the magical world;

Nemone Radford regarded it as a scourge, believing that the Forget Spell was more harmful than beneficial and needed to be used with caution.

Perhaps for this reason, both on the Chocolate Frog card and in "History of Magic", they chose to weaken Nemone Radford's presence.

Weizet has a soul maze, so he agrees with Nemone Radford's point of view.

For a person, memory is of course an extremely important thing.

It was with the help of so many memories that he was able to use the Soul Labyrinth to slow down Voldemort's pace last school year, thus helping Professor Quirrell escape;

He even had a duel with Voldemort through this Soul Labyrinth...

Although there is a spell to break the Oblivion spell, due to the special nature of the Oblivion spell, the spell is not very versatile.

A wizard who has been hurt by the Oblivion spell must first know that his memory has been erased, and secondly, he must know the spell to break the Oblivion spell;

If you want to restore your memory through the spell to break the spell, you also need to make the spell powerful enough, much more powerful than the Oblivion spell, in order to successfully restore your memory;

To meet so many requirements, you can usually only rely on external forces to discover, such as meeting an Auror...

Even so, how much memory can be restored depends on luck, and it is difficult to completely restore the original memory.

It is precisely because of the better understanding of the Oblivion spell that Vizet hopes to fully master the Oblivion spell, and not just simply and roughly erase the memory like the wizard mentioned in the autobiography.

The Lockhart in front of him may be able to bring more innovative knowledge.

Following Lockhart's instructions, Vizet reviewed the Oblivion Charm again.

Lockhart asked in confusion: "Have you learned the Oblivion Charm before?"

"I learned a little bit after returning to school, and taught myself a little bit." Vizet said truthfully.

"Learned a little bit? Taught myself a little bit?" Lockhart's tone rose, like a nail scratching across glass, and it seemed a little harsh, "Vizet, you mean..."

"When you go to the greenhouse to learn herbs in the morning and study Transfiguration magic in your spare time, you can still take out your spare time to learn a Oblivion Charm by yourself? How long has school started?"

"By the way! I often see you after class... with a little blonde girl to find the way... seems to be called Luna Lovegood... Is she your sister? You... this..."

Vizet said as a matter of course: "Yes, after all, Hogwarts Castle is a bit complicated, and I am a little worried. But now it's okay, she is much better than I was at that time!"

Lockhart looked at Vizet with a faint smile on his face, and suddenly felt a headache.

Originally, he had the idea of ​​playing the long game and catching the big fish. He wanted to correct his accent and gestures first, and then use gentle persuasion to gradually establish a good relationship with Vizzet.

I didn't expect that Vizet would learn so quickly. There was no need to correct his gestures and spells.

The current situation was beyond Lockhart's expectations. He realized that if he didn't show some real skills, the "big fish" might slip away and accompany his sister to visit Hogwarts Castle.

Lockhart thought about it and decided to show some real skills, "Since you have understood all the knowledge in books, you should do something different!"

"Many wizards think that the Oblivion Charm is similar to the Disinfection Charm... If magic is discovered by Muggles, then clear the memory related to it..."

"It's a very simple and rough method of use, but it is very effective... Of course! This is only an effective method for Muggles."

"If you want to deal with wizards, using such a rough method will easily cause flaws... At least for experienced wizards, it is still easy to cause flaws."

Hearing the last sentence, Vizet immediately asked: "Professor Lockhart, what should we do in this situation?"

After spending a school year at Hogwarts, he understood one thing very well, thinking and asking questions are very important links;

If you encounter something you don't understand, you should ask. If you hide it because of your concerns, you will only suffer in the end.

Lockhart raised his eyebrows. He knew very well that his words had aroused Vizet's interest.

He smiled brightly, "Although the Oblivion Spell is a very common magic to me, I will not despise any common magic..."

Chapter 92 "Ancient Magic: Transference Spell"

Faced with such a student, Lockhart already understood that he had to reveal some core secrets to make Vizet more interested.

Fortunately, Lockhart was very familiar with the Oblivion Spell. He crushed his understanding of the Oblivion Spell and reshaped it into more redundant words, and then told Vizet.

He hoped that in this way, he could at least last a little longer.

Unfortunately, things still deviated and developed in a direction he did not expect.

Inadvertently, his core secrets... seemed to be shaking more and more!

Vizet has a strong ability to associate. Based on various magical principles, he can extract the essence of redundant words, and then think and ask questions.

After several teachings, Lockhart felt a kind of illusion, as if he had returned to his student days. Facing a circle of classmates who were more talented than himself, his heart was full of twists and cramps.

Compared to Lockhart, who felt deeply uncomfortable because of recalling the past, Vizet was in a good state and felt like a fish in water.

Lockhart had a unique insight into the Oblivion Spell, which allowed Vizet to gain a lot of knowledge.

The Oblivion Spell was very profound, and it could even be combined with magic such as Occlumency to compare the differences and similarities between the two.

In this way, Vizet not only understood and learned the Oblivion Spell, but also increased his understanding of Occlumency.

He looked at the full notes and immediately classified and refined them, so that the contents of the notes could be transformed into his own knowledge.

After a simple sorting, he found that the knowledge about the Oblivion Spell could actually be understood through the "lever principle".

Vizet glanced at the notes again, coughed lightly and said: "Professor Lockhart, I have some thoughts now, see if I am right..."

"Of course no problem!" Hearing this, Lockhart was relieved.

As long as Vizet didn't continue to ask questions, he felt that his core secret should be kept.

"I think... no one knows the Oblivion spell better than me, just say whatever you want to say! By the way! If you need anything, you can also tell me."

"Well." Vizet nodded, looked around and asked, "Professor Lockhart... can you give me a piece of paper?"

"I don't lack paper at all!" Lockhart showed eight teeth and took out a piece of pink parchment.

This parchment is not only special in color, but also overflows with a strong fragrance, probably sprayed with a lot of perfume.

There is also a line of handwriting in the upper left corner and the lower right corner, written in beautiful cursive: Dear Miss ___/Your favorite Gilderoy Lockhart

It is probably the standard letter paper used to reply to book fans.

"Thank you!" Vizet picked up the wand and tapped the letter paper, turning the parchment into a mini seesaw.

Lockhart's eyelids twitched. This was the first time he saw Vizet's transformation magic.

Although the transformed objects were not complicated, the technique was understated enough.

He recalled his past experiences. He was only able to perform such transformation magic in the fourth grade, and he couldn't do it so easily.

"Professor Lockhart, I remember you mentioned in "Holiday with Hag Yasha" that you and Hag Yasha went to an amusement park, right?"

Lockhart nodded and said hesitantly: "Ah... yes... this thing is that... seesaw?"

"Yes! It's a seesaw! There are so many fun things in the Muggle world! That Hag Yasha is too heavy and almost crushed the seesaw!"

"Professor Lockhart, I think the principle of the Oblivion Charm is a bit like this seesaw..." Wizette nodded and pointed to the base of the seesaw.

"This is the fulcrum of the seesaw. It is like the intention or purpose shown by the caster when casting the Oblivion Charm."

Lockhart felt a little sweaty. He instantly understood what Wizette wanted to express.
