"We need to cast the breaking spell according to our emotions, which will allow us to break the Memory Charm in a relatively easy way..."
After hearing what Vizette 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.
"Vizette… 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 Vizette'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.
"Vizette, 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, Vizette 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 Vizette 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.
Vizette 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 'Gilderoy Lockhart teaches you how to get rid of pests in your home.'!"
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 my book 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 "Magical Me" 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 pixies 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.
"Vizette, 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?" Vizette asked, focusing 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 memory charm."
"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 Vizette 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."
