Faced with such a student, Lockhart understood that he had to reveal some core secrets to pique Vizette's interest even more.
Fortunately, Lockhart was very familiar with the Memory Charm. He broke down his understanding of the Memory Charm, reshaped it into more redundant words, and then told it to Vizette.
He hoped that by doing so, he could at least hold on for a little longer.
Unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn, developing in a direction he hadn't anticipated.
Without realizing it, his core secrets seemed to be revealing more and more!
Vizette had a strong ability to make connections. He could extract the essence from redundant words based on various magical principles, and then think about and ask questions.
After several rounds of instruction, Lockhart felt a kind of illusion, as if he had returned to his student days, surrounded by classmates who were more talented than him, and felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable.
Compared to Lockhart, who felt deeply uncomfortable because of recalling the past, Vizette was in great shape and felt like a fish in water.
Lockhart had unique insights into the Memory Charm, which greatly benefited Vizette.
The knowledge of the Memory Charm was profound, and it could even be combined with magic such as Occlumency to compare the differences and similarities between the two.
In this way, Vizette not only learned about the Memory Charm, but also gained a better understanding of Occlumency.
Looking at the full notebook, he immediately categorized and refined it, transforming the content into his own knowledge.
After a brief review, he discovered that this knowledge about the Memory Charm could actually be understood through the "lever principle."
Vizette glanced at the notes again, cleared his throat, and said, "Professor Lockhart, I have some thoughts now. See if I'm right..."
"Of course, no problem!" Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
As long as Vizette stopped asking questions, he felt that his core secret was safe.
"I think... no one knows the Memory Charm better than me. Say whatever you want! Oh, and if you need anything, you can tell me too."
"Hmm." Vizette nodded, looked around, and asked, "Professor Lockhart… could I have a piece of paper?"
"I have plenty of paper here!" Lockhart flashed eight teeth and pulled out a pink parchment.
This parchment not only had a unique color, but also exuded a rich fragrance, probably from being sprayed with a large amount of perfume.
In the top left and bottom right corners, there was another line of text written in beautiful cursive: Dear Miss ___ / Your favorite Gilderoy Lockhart
It was probably standard letter paper used to reply to fans.
"Thank you!" Vizette picked up his wand and tapped it on the letter, turning the parchment into a mini seesaw.
Lockhart's eyelids twitched; this was the first time he had witnessed Vizette's Transfiguration magic.
Although the item being transformed was not particularly complex, the technique used was quite understated.
He recalled his past experiences and realized that he was probably in fourth grade when he had been able to perform such Transfiguration magic, and even then, it had not been as easy as this.
"Professor Lockhart, I remember you mentioned in 'Break with a Banshee' that you and the banshee went to an amusement park, right?"
Lockhart nodded, then 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 she-devil was so heavy, she almost broke the seesaw!"
"Professor Lockhart, I think the principle of the Memory Charm is somewhat similar to this seesaw…" Vizette nodded, pointing to the base of the seesaw.
"This is the fulcrum of the seesaw, just like the intention or purpose shown by the spellcaster when casting the Memory Charm."
Lockhart felt a little sweaty; he instantly understood what Vizette was trying to say.
It had to be said that comparing the Memory Charm to a seesaw was a very clever description.
Vizette nodded and continued explaining according to his own understanding, while also demonstrating with the seesaw.
"The Memory Charm 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 Memory Charm 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 counter-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 Memory Charm at this age!"
"As for breaking the charm, 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 Vizette to speak again.
"Professor Lockhart, so based on the principle of this seesaw, I came up with a technique for casting a counter-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 counter-spell according to our emotions, so that we can break the Memory Charm in a relatively easy way."
Having recounted these contents, Vizette had completed the initial digestion and gained some understanding and insights into the Memory Charm.
Just then, the Wizarding Manual in his mind stirred, and some of the ancient magical power he had accumulated surged into it.
As countless pages surged, a completely new ancient magic revealed its contents.
Ancient Magic: Imperius Curse: Guides ancient magical power to cast spells... imbues the Memory Charm 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 power to cast the Memory Charm, many of the Memory Charm's side effects could be mitigated to a great extent.
At the same time, the phrase "to achieve the purpose of erasing or modifying memories" was also worth pondering.
This indicated that through this ancient magic, he could also manipulate the contents of memories.
Therefore, even for experienced wizards, it would be very difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the memories.
