Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

It must be said that comparing a seesaw to a forgetting spell is a very clever analogy.

Vizette nodded and continued explaining according to his own understanding, while also demonstrating with a seesaw.

"The Oblivion Spell is like the plank of a seesaw, and the spellcaster's casting process is the process of playing with it..."

He stretched out his fingers and pressed back and forth between the two ends of the seesaw, making the two ends of the seesaw rise and fall alternately.

“The caster can perform the spell precisely and effectively with the help of ‘intention’, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the forgetting spell and the effect it can achieve.”

“Ah…yes…” Lockhart forced a smile, not even revealing his eight teeth, “Accurate…that’s what I said…absolutely right, hehe…”

“Oh right! There’s that last part…” Vizette frowned slightly, “It’s about how to use the breaking spell to restore memories, and I really don’t understand it.”

“That’s understandable!” Lockhart smiled again and quickly comforted him, “It’s already quite remarkable that you can learn to cast the Oblivion Charm at this age!”

"As for breaking the curse, it's not that important! Who would target a wizard? We don't really need to know that much. As long as it can be used to deal with Muggles..."

He had intended to brush it off, but he didn't expect Vizet to speak again.

“Professor Lockhart, so based on the principle of this seesaw, I came up with a technique for casting a breaking spell.”

Lockhart's smile vanished. "You... tell me?"

Vizette tapped the mini seesaw, pulling one end back a little. "Professor Lockhart, like this."

“You mentioned the concept of ‘emotion’ and then said that I lack the knowledge to understand it.”

"But I still feel it deeply! When casting a counter-spell, emotions become the fulcrum..."

"We need to cast the breaking spell according to our emotions, so that we can break the forgetting spell in a relatively easy way."

Having recounted these contents, Vizet had completed the initial digestion and gained some understanding and insights into the Oblivion Curse.

Just then, the Wizarding Manual in my mind stirred, and some of the ancient magical power I had accumulated surged into it.

As countless pages surged, a completely new ancient magic revealed its contents.

Ancient Magic: Transference Spell: Guides ancient magical power to cast spells... imbues the Oblivion Spell with special effects... achieves the purpose of erasing or altering memories by extracting complete memories...

After reading through the contents of "Ancient Magic: Mind Transfer Spell," Vizette had already experienced the wonders of this magic.

By using ancient magical powers to cast the Oblivion Curse, many of the Oblivion Curse's side effects can be mitigated to a great extent.

At the same time, the phrase "to achieve the purpose of erasing or modifying memories" is also worth pondering.

This indicates that through this ancient magic, he can also manipulate the contents of his memories.

Therefore, even for experienced wizards, it would be very difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the memories.

Chapter 93 Nobody knows more about mandrakes than me!

"We need to cast the breaking spell according to our emotions, which will allow us to break the Forgetfulness Spell in a relatively easy way..."

After hearing what Vizet said, Lockhart felt that he could no longer laugh, and his head was filled with a buzzing sound.

They didn't say much, so how did they manage to guess so much?

His lips twitched twice, and he shook his head, trying to get rid of the annoying buzzing sound.

“Vizet… these problems… you can look into them yourself… haha! Um… we can’t keep doing this…”

He was somewhat incoherent, trying to change the subject so that Vizette wouldn't delve any deeper into the Oblivion Spell!

What other topics could possibly pique Wizette's interest?

Lockhart looked around, seemingly trying to find the answer in the portraits covering the walls.

Finally, his gaze fell on the table, on the mandrake plant that had just been repotted.

“Vizet, did you know that there’s a proper way to fertilize mandrakes… Did Professor Sprout tell you about that?”

"I don't think they taught that, right? After all, mandrakes are mostly wild. Actually, I once grew one, to make a mandrake resurrection potion..."

"This plant is a picky eater! Once it's eaten something good, it's hard for it to like something bad, especially if you take away the good stuff from it, it'll even crawl out and protest!"

Upon hearing this, Wizette said, "Professor Sprout didn't mention that."

“I know she wants to publish an article in Nature Herbs, so I’d be happy to help her…” Lockhart said, his face lighting up again as he pointed to the mandrake.

"That's why I was able to get a pot of mandrake from Professor Sprout. I'll add some key details for her later, and we can co-author an article!"

The magical world also has various academic journals, such as "Transfiguration Today" for Transfiguration magic, "Charms Innovation" for Charms studies, and "Practical Potions Master" for Potions studies...

The professors at Hogwarts are frequent contributors to these academic journals;

As far as Wizette knew, figures like Principal Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Flitwick had all published articles in relevant journals.

In particular, Principal Dumbledore had a large number of articles published in "Transfiguration Today" when he was young.

Vizet has taken notes on all these articles, but it will take a long time to fully understand them.

Nevertheless, even a preliminary understanding of part of the article's content can effectively improve his transformation magic skills.

……

Lockhart pulled a small bag from the drawer. On it was a moving logo, shaped like a fire-breathing dragon with sparks coming out of its nose.

“What could be better fertilizer than dragon dung?” Lockhart said, tearing open the packaging. “I have too many fans!”

"This is a gift from one of my book fans. She absolutely loves 'Giddro Lockhart's Guide to Getting Rid of Household Pests'!"

There was also a simple little shovel in the package. He used the shovel to scoop away the previous fertilizer and scatter it randomly on the ground, and then evenly sprinkled the dragon manure on the flower pots.

The mandrake leaves twitched twice, which pleased him greatly. "Aha! No one knows mandrake better than me!"

"Look how happy it is! How joyfully this little leaf is moving! I must read the book I wrote to it!"

"Before it matures, maybe if I read it a few more times, it will gradually become my book lover?"

Lockhart seemed genuinely intent on doing so, pulling a collector's edition of "I Can Be Magical" from his drawer. "Let's start with my latest book..."

Seeing this, Vizette stood up and bowed slightly, saying, "Professor Lockhart, I won't disturb you any longer. Thank you very much for your teaching tonight; I have truly learned a great deal!"

“There’s no other way! As a professor, this is what I should do!” Lockhart smiled smugly.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."

……

Vizette walked out of Lockhart's office, still pondering the matter of the Oblivion Charm.

Clearly, Lockhart still harbors many secrets about the Oblivion Curse.

Just like the Oblivion Charm that disrupts the magic circuits of the sprites and controls them, it must be a secret Lockhart is trying his best to hide.

From the time they spent together, Vizette could clearly sense that getting Lockhart to reveal his deeper secrets would be a very difficult task.

"What a strange professor... but I must admit, his understanding of the Oblivion Charm is extremely profound!"

As Vizette turned a corner in the corridor, Fred and George suddenly appeared and intercepted him.

The expressions of worry on their faces were unusually exaggerated, as if they were visiting a terminally ill patient.

“Vizet, why have you been in Lockhart’s office for so long?” Fred’s tone was heavy.

“Tell me, did our greatest adventurer, Professor Lockhart, teach you that magic…”

"Which magic?" Vizet's focus was on the magic.

Fred laughed. "A powerful transformation spell! It gives you beautiful golden curly hair and a quill pen that can write beautiful cursive!"

“Or a magic potion?” George added, his arm swaying as he turned the lilac plush toilet seat.

"Once you drink it, any magical creature will be like a venomous horned beast attracted by the scent of musk, frantically seeking your autograph!"

Vizette couldn't help but laugh. "He didn't give me any magic potions, nor did he teach me Transfiguration."

"Oh! That's great!" George let out a long breath. "Thank goodness you're out, or we would have had to come and rescue you!"

"I'm just afraid that he'll brainwash you and make you want to become an adventurer, thinking about whether or not to defeat your own academy ghost and then write this experience into a book!"

“Exactly!” Fred grinned mischievously. “Imagine… if you forget to do your homework, just say you’re researching ways to defeat the ghosts—what a perfect excuse!”

Vizette shook her head and said, "I wasn't brainwashed by him, I just learned a forgetting spell."

“Very good!” Fred said with a relieved expression. “As long as our materials consultant doesn’t try to become the next Lockhart, I can rest assured!”

George reached out and patted Vizet on the shoulder. "Seriously, if you want to write a book, we can actually help you come up with ideas."

"If three people brainstorm together, there's definitely a market for it! We can create a series of books called 'How to Skip Class Without Getting Caught!'"

“That’s right! It’s okay if you don’t like the name,” Fred chimed in. “We can get Harry involved and help increase the book’s popularity.”

Chapter 94 Lockhart in a Coma

Just as Dumbledore said, students can learn things beyond magic from Lockhart.

The Weasley twins were among them.

George said, "But if we're going to include Harry, then we'll have to change the name of this book... What would be a good name for it?"

Fred frowned as he thought, "How about we call it 'The Lazy Man's Guide to Potter'?"

"Harry is more famous than Lockhart, I guarantee it! This will be a better seller than 'My Magical Self'!"
