The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

If you say so, then I will believe it. Loren muttered silently.

At least judging from things like analyzing the magic text of the hand mirror, analyzing the mirror's ability and repairing the mirror surface, Flamel is worthy of being a master of alchemy and is very reliable.

Thinking of this, Loren said goodbye to Flamel, quit the Book of Fantasy, and planned to write a letter to Hagrid, asking him to pay attention to the unicorn horn.

Loren lay on the bed and opened his eyes, his eyes wandering on the ceiling. Then he remembered that Hanhan had sent a letter to Grandpa Bates and had not returned yet.

It doesn't make sense. Hanhan's stupid delivery speed should be improved after all.

Why did it take so long for Grandpa Bates to revisit his hometown and swim back to the Pacific battlefield?

Unable to come up with an answer, Loren sighed. It seemed that he had to wait until Hanhan came back or the school started next semester before he could find a way to find out about the unicorn.

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

In the following days, Loren lived in the Granger family. Generally speaking, the atmosphere was very harmonious, with only occasional friction.

A sunny morning.

On the desk by the bedroom window, Loren was immersed in writing and drawing in a book.

He is sorting out information on Occlumency, Legilimency, and the Oblivion Curse. Loren had made plans to learn these spells before the holiday began, but due to the special nature of his memory, he was unable to practice with others and had to find a way to learn them on his own.

In the end, it came down to the learning method that Loren had always adhered to, establishing a comprehensive knowledge system, combined with his unique intuitive talent, and practicing magic 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 similar content in the principles of magic.

This conjecture was confirmed after asking Flamel for advice. This type of magic is classified as memory magic.

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

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the memories stored in the brain. A long time ago, people discovered that deep memories 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 in Hogwarts. They still retain the memories of their lives after leaving the body.

If the way in which memory magic takes effect is discovered, it will have a multiplier effect on learning and practice.

In its most basic form, Occlumency involves clearing your mind of no thought, no memory, no feeling, thereby preventing others from reading your emotions and thoughts. The more advanced Occlumency is to construct false thoughts, emotions and memories, thereby creating 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 the Imperius Curse.

From this, Loren determined that Occlumency not only sealed the brain, but also had an effect on the soul.

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

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

The spell "Forget" is used to erase a specific memory. The spell was invented by the witch Nemorne Radford, who became the first memory canceller of 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. Former Minister of Magic Otalian Gamble once 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 in British history.

The danger of the Amnesia Spell is that if cast incorrectly, the Amnesia Spell may erase important parts of a person's memory and cause irreversible brain damage.

The Forgetting Spell is often used in conjunction with the False Memory Spell. After erasing the memory, a false memory is implanted to better prevent others from discovering the loopholes.

In addition, some scholars have suggested that torture with a strong purpose has a chance of breaking the forgetting curse. But because this idea was too cruel, the Ministry of Magic banned related experiments.

The nib of the pen squeezes the paper, leaving the ink to slowly soak through. Because he had always used quill pens at Hogwarts, Loren was a little uncomfortable returning to ordinary society and using pens.

Loren recalled the above information and wrote down the key points in his notebook with slanted fonts.

"[Calling God's Guard]" Hermione's clear 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 in the bedroom, no matter where Loren is or what he is doing, Hermione will always appear next to him, and then start [Invoke God Guard], 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 he said that, the girl bent down to Loren's shoulder and looked at his notes.

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

"Amnesia spell?" Hermione read as she looked at the words on the notebook.

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

After returning from camping, the progress of the Patronus Charm for both of them has been greatly improved, which is reflected in the fact that the non-entity silver light of the Patronus expands a lot when the spell is cast.

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

Hermione looked at this man's appearance, patted his shoulder, and said through gritted teeth: "My Patronus has stopped getting bigger. The next step is to condense it. I will summon the physical Patronus before you do. "

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

Hermione's Patronus, a silver ball of light, was about the same size as herself. But the ball of light when 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 voice that said, "Then you should practice more."

Loren had a headache seeing Hermione's serious look. This little witch was really stubborn.

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

"Coming!" Hermione shouted.

The girl put away her wand and scampered downstairs.

Loren closed the pen cap, put away the notebook, and followed Hermione downstairs with swaying pigtails.

In front of the white lacquered fireplace, a low tea table is filled with rich pastries, scones smeared with cream and strawberry jam, apple and peach fruit tarts, and a large portion of mango mousse. There are four sets on the table. Tea cup with violet pattern on white background.

Monica and Wendell sat together, adding tea to teacups from identical teapots.

Loren sat down, picked up a piece of scone and took a bite, being careful to prevent the crumbs from scattering everywhere, and before he could swallow the rainbow fart that made his speech incomprehensible.

"This scone is delicious, with a crispy outside and a very soft filling inside." Loren picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After swallowing it, he continued, "Monica, your cooking skills are so good. You bake a lot." No chef may be able to make such delicious pastries.”

Wendell and Monica smiled slightly after hearing this.

But Hermione couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. Doesn’t her mother know that she can cook well, but it’s definitely impossible to make cakes? Generally, refreshments are bought from outside bakeries.

Hermione tugged on Loren's sleeve, laughing so hard that she almost fell to the ground, "These refreshments are bought from outside, not made by my mother, hahaha..."

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

Stiffly changing the subject, Hermione laughed even harder. She didn't have enough lung capacity, so her laughter became shrill. She couldn't help but beat her hands on the sofa, "Giggle, giggle..."

It was rare to see Loren being so smart but so smart, so Hermione laughed so much.

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

"Graduation trip?" Loren followed the rule that as long as I wasn't embarrassed, no one would be embarrassed.

Monica glanced at Hermione, who was holding her stomach to suppress her laughter as her stomach ached from laughing, and said helplessly: "If things go by normal circumstances, Hermione will be admitted to Oxford University or something else she likes after graduating from high school. School."

Hermione finally stopped. She wiped the tears from laughter 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 went to a wizarding school and she would not go to college, 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 it will take a few years to settle down."

She leaned forward, squeezed Wendell away, took Monica's arm, and shook her, saying, "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 blame it on me."

Hermione hugged him again, "Then I want to see kangaroos. Why don't you go with me?"

Monica was too lazy to pay attention to her, picked up the teacup and took a sip, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips.

Wendell was a little bit a little annoyed when he saw his daughter pestering her mother to act coquettishly. He didn't know whether he was jealous of his daughter or his wife.

Hermione had only been this clingy before she was four years old. When she got older and wiser, she became more reserved. After going to school, the situation became more serious. This time after returning from Hogwarts, she became more relaxed.

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

Hermione turned her head and looked 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 drag Loren to practice magic all day long, and you don't care about your parents at all."

Hermione held Monica's arm with one arm, and went to pull Wendell with the other hand, comforting: "I care, I care."

The two of them were mainly worried 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, the Grangers felt that the little cotton-padded jacket was no longer close to their body to keep them warm, and at the same time they were no longer worried about Hermione's mental health.

The main reason is that the summer vacation is here and the temperature is rising. Many patients have damaged their teeth from eating ice cream and call them to urge them to open business quickly.

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

Hermione stayed with the couple for a long time. When she saw that the pastries were almost eaten, she picked up Loren and ran upstairs again.

In the atmosphere just now, she noticed that Loren was a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly pulled Loren upstairs. Moreover, she was also quite interested in the Oblivion Curse.

Wendell and Monica looked at their daughter's back and sighed in unison. There was a leak in the little cotton-padded jacket.

Entering the room, Hermione closed the door with her feet and headed towards the notebook.

Loren reached out to protect the notebook and said quietly: "Shouldn't you talk about kangaroos?"

It was this man who, in front of a child who was born in an orphanage and was living in a classmate's home, was tired of being there, but he couldn't be rude as a guest.

"How can kangaroos be as interesting as magic?" Hermione grabbed Loren's hand and tried to take out the notebook.

Loren glanced at her sideways, "You are right, but the permanent population of the Vatican is less than 1,000 people. At the same time, there are 5 million kangaroos in Australia alone."

Hermione froze on the spot. She had a hunch that Loren's next words would be wrong, but she still asked: "Ah, so what?"

"If kangaroos decide to invade the Vatican, then every Vaticanite will shoot 5,000 kangaroos. You don't know, you don't care, you only care about yourself."

"Pfft!" Hermione couldn't hold it back.

Then a stronger smile emerged from the belly, and laughter burst out of the nose and mouth, "Hahahahaha!!"

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

Hermione laughed even louder, and the pain in her stomach that had just subsided for a while started to hurt again. She fell back on the quilt, curled up and kept laughing, "One person has to fight 5,000 kangaroos, haha——"

Her stomach hurt so much, and the more she laughed, the more it hurt, but she couldn't stop, so she kept holding her stomach and laughing, making her shoulders twitch.

I wish all the candidates a bright future and a prosperous future.
