Chapter 64: Potions and memories

　　 Back to Hampshire, Southampton, 86 Eastleigh Road, Jon Hart’s summer vacation life began.
　　 The Cuizhu wand was thrown into the innermost layer of the suitcase on the first day he returned, and he wrapped it in a towel.
　　Because of the existence of such things as "traces", he cannot cast spells at home.
Traces will record the release of magic by minor wizards and their surroundings. Once a magic wave is discovered, the Office of Abuse of Magic of the Ministry of Magic will immediately write to you a warning. The serious ones will even be expelled from Hogwarts. The density of wizards, the entire Southampton city may have only one wizard in existence.
　　 I am not the protagonist, so I can't get any special treatment; Jon doesn't want to break the wand, clear the memory, and continue to come back to be an ordinary person because of an accident.
　　 But he is not completely idle.
　　 Magic cannot be used, but potions can still be matched...
　　 After all, there is no need to wave a wand or chant a spell to configure a potion.
　　 As early as the day he came back, with Snape's "name", Jon was in the Potions Store in Diagon Alley, and bought a lot of magic materials and a few more advanced magic books.
　　 Also, in mid-June, he rented a cabin on Eastleigh Road, about 500 yards from his home.
　　 Then he moved all the crucibles, glass bottles, and potion materials.
　　 After all, some accidents may occur in the configuration of the potion, and it may even be dangerous, and it is not safe to keep it at home.
　　……
　　 After the summer vacation began, first of all Jon began to make a pot of compound soup...
　　 After many transformations last semester, the stock of the compound decoction has been used up a lot and needs to be refilled; but with the previous experience, this time it is obviously more proficient in configuration.
　　 At the same time, he also began to try to configure "Warrior Potion" and "Enhancement Potion".
　　 Both of these medicines are important content of the OWLs exam. Generally speaking, only three or four years old students at Hogwarts will try to learn them.
The left and right sides of "Warrior's Potion" are similar to adrenaline. It can increase people's reaction, speed, and strength in a short time. For wizards, it can make their spellcasting easier; but there are certain side effects. Fall into a state of weakness.
The "enhancement medicine" needs to be used together with other medicines, which can significantly enhance the effect of other medicines; for example, when used together with compound decoctions, it can increase the transformation time, and continuous consumption of compound decoctions can continue the transformation effect (No longer restored to its original form).
These two kinds of potions are relatively simple ones that Jon found, but also have a certain practical value (the potions learned in the potions class of the first, second and third grades, most of them are only worthy of practice by young wizards. ).
As for the more meaningful potions such as blessings, veritaserum, or ecstasy...Although Jon has read related content in the "Powerful Elixir" before, its tedious and complicated configuration steps, Still let him stop.
　　 He is just a first-year Hogwarts graduate. Even if he has a little talent in potions, he still needs to continue to learn and practice before he is qualified to explore deeper potions.
　　……
　　 In addition to deploying the potion, Jon also took a moment.
　　 After turning into the image of "Varian Wrynn", he went to the hardware store of Mr. Robert Wilson at 21 Winchester Road.
　　 He gave Mr. Wilson another money, and Jon asked him to help him customize a batch of silver bullets.
　　 "Silver bullets?" Mr. Wilson asked puzzledly: "Silver has a very soft texture, and bullets made from it can cause no harm at all...Why do you make such a strange request, Wrynn?"
　　 "I said I was to deal with werewolves, do you believe it?" Varian Wrynn said with a smile.
　　 "Don't be kidding!" The owner of the hardware store shook his head: "How can there be werewolves in this world...what type of bullets are needed?"
　　 "0.357 Magnum and 5.45mm pistol ammunition, a little!"
　　 "Okay, I'll get it done for you in one month!"
　　 It seems that there are not many things that need to be prepared for the 1993-1994 school year. Apart from some silver bullets, all Jon can think of is a bright flashlight (werewolves are afraid of bright light and silverware).
　　 But at Hogwarts, except outside the responsive house and other areas, electronic products are invalid, so it is better to bring a few candles.
　　 Of course, Jon did not forget to find a calendar, refer to the content learned in the astronomy class, and circle all the nights of the full moon in the coming year.
　　 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 moved these prepared things to the newly rented cabin and put them away.
　　……
　　 In the time outside of configuring the potion, Jon, who was idle and bored, had to start reading the white pamphlet that Lockhart left him.
Although the Forgotten Mantra is more profound than all the spells Jon has learned before, it is not a very complicated spell in the strict sense~EbookFREE.me~ After all, it is the most widely used spell by many Ministry of Magic staff. .
　　 However, the oblivion spell used by Guidro Lockhart is obviously different from ordinary ones.
　　 For ordinary Ministry staff who need to use oblivion spells, their spells only need to make Muggles forget the past few hours.
　　 And Lockhart wants to achieve his goal of stealing the results of the target, he needs to delete the memory of the target in the past few years, or even more than ten years.
　　 Not to mention that the workload is completely different; more importantly, once the memory of so long is deleted roughly, even the stupid person will lose the memory of several years or decades, and I am afraid that he will soon discover the abnormality.
　　 Once exposed, Lockhart's reputation has long since been discredited...
　　 Therefore, when Lockhart uses the Forgetting Curse, he usually creates a set of false memories first, and then replaces them with some of the memories he wants to delete.
　　 After modifying the target's memory, so that the target will not have any strange thoughts.
　　This method is obviously more difficult and complicated than ordinary methods.
　　 If it is in school, I am afraid that Jon will not spend too much time on this kind of curse that does not have much effect in a short time (after all, he will not be like Lockhart and be a quack).
　　 But now he can't use magic, and he can't find a few books on hand.
　　 I was bored and 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 brochure, so that Jon's understanding would not be too difficult...
　　 He felt that after a month of hard work, he still knew a little bit about the Forgotten Curse...Although he hadn't undergone any experiments, he didn't know to what extent.
