Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 320 Sleeping Beauty! Awakening Spell! Na'vi Disease Cured!

Thanks to the further improvement of Hogwarts' ideological education reform, fewer students are still excluded from Dudley's classes due to their inability to pass the four tests of the Sorting Hat.

The number of unqualified candidates has decreased from more than sixty last November to less than forty now.

The number of unqualified students in Griffin and Eagle schools has been reduced to single digits, and even less than five.

Even more surprisingly, the stubborn pureblood snake group has shown signs of loosening and disintegration, with eleven individuals like Draco abandoning evil and embracing good.

The number of stubborn pureblood snakes dropped from over forty to twenty-eight.

Moreover, among these twenty-eight pure-blooded snakes, there were quite a few who were restless and doubting themselves, and their thinking had improved to a greater extent than in the past.

It is foreseeable that more pure-blooded snakes will abandon evil and embrace good in the future.

However, stubborn purebred snakes are unlikely to be reset to zero.

But overall, things are moving in a positive direction.

Let's talk about the hidden dangers and experimental potions at Hogwarts.

Eckeris, in a daze and a daze, ultimately failed to cause any trouble.

Less than a month after Christmas, she was completely anesthetized and turned into Sleeping Beauty by various half-finished soul-anesthetizing potions that had been updated and replaced many times.

The kind of sleep where you never wake up again.

The Voldemort soul within her was the same; it couldn't withstand multiple rounds of anesthesia and entered a deep slumber.

However, one thing is very special: Ecclesia's soul and Voldemort's main soul became one, like two lumps of mud stuck together, gradually showing a tendency to merge.

Snape, Professor Slughorn, Dudley, and Dumbledore all investigated and found that this fusion process was difficult to interrupt, and it was almost impossible to interrupt it safely and gently.

But after investigation, it was found that this was not a bad thing for them.

After Voldemort's main soul merged with Ecclesia's soul, his own soul strength seemed to be diluted, becoming weaker.

Of course, correspondingly, Eckeris's soul strength has increased.

At the same time, the anesthetic effects on the two souls reacted with each other, making them even more numbed and causing them to fall into a deeper slumber.

Overall, the danger posed by Voldemort's main soul and Ecclesia is further reduced until the soul fusion is completely completed.

As for when the integration will be fully completed, according to everyone's estimation, it will take at least two or three years.

By then, Voldemort's grave will be overgrown with weeds... no, Voldemort might not even have a grave; he'll be long gone.

So as long as monitoring is in place, there is no need to worry.

By May 1992, the research on the Soul Anesthetic Potion had come to an end.

Snape and Professor Slughorn have determined that the final product of the Soul-Soothing Potion will come from the last five formulas they have refined after thousands of experiments.

Furthermore, the potions corresponding to these five formulas are already in the process of being prepared, and will only be tested after preparation is complete.

The potion is expected to be prepared within a month.

There's also the matter of the aftereffects of the Oblivion Curse on Neville.

Over the past six months, Lockhart's potential has been forcibly maximized under Dudley's constant threats, spurs, and encouragement.

He became even more studious than when he was in school, not only spending a lot of time in the library researching, but also making the most of his affability and social skills, humbly seeking advice from many professors and constantly advancing his research.

He also used the tactic of voluntarily conceding defeat and the high-sounding but reasonable excuse of 'saving lives is the most important thing' to minimize the competitive nature of that new type of duel.

He successfully persuaded Professor Moody, Sirius Black, and Lupin to join him in the research.

It could be said that, in the end, only Snape still treated the duel as a duel; the other participants all worked together and exerted their strength.

Lockhart was already extremely talented in the field of the Forgotten Curse. After adjusting his mindset and receiving a lot of help, he naturally lived up to expectations and developed a specific healing spell to cure the aftereffects of the Forgotten Curse.

This spell is called the Awakening Spell, and its operating principle is quite bizarre; it's a method of fighting poison with poison.

The Awakening Curse does not directly combat the aftereffects of the Forgetting Curse on the patient.

Instead, it uses a special kind of forgetting spell energy to attack the patient, making the patient's brain, body, mind, and soul forget that they still have the aftereffects of the forgetting spell, thereby making the patient awake and achieving the therapeutic effect.

To illustrate with a somewhat inappropriate but easily understood example, imagine an Alzheimer's patient forgetting that they have Alzheimer's, and then suddenly regaining consciousness.

When the research findings were presented to Dudley and Dumbledore, both were amazed.

Wolves have their ways, dogs have theirs, and weirdos always come up with weird ideas!

But no matter how bizarre the method is, as long as it works, it's a good method.

After some deliberation by Dumbledore and Dudley, they had Hagrid find several live pigs and toads, first applying a large number of ordinary forgetting charms to artificially create the aftereffects of the forgetting charm, and then using the awakening charm to treat them, in order to verify the results.

This method was ultimately confirmed to be feasible and applicable to Nawei.

So, the professors found Neville, set a time, and watched Lockhart very seriously cast a powerful awakening spell on Neville.

With the support of the founder, and the fact that the spell was actually a variant of the Oblivion Curse, Lockhart, who possessed a talent for the Oblivion Curse, succeeded in removing the aftereffects of the Oblivion Curse from Neville.

Everyone could clearly feel that Nawi, who had been healed by the Awakening Curse, had a completely different demeanor. He was no longer dazed and confused, and his eyes gradually became sharp and bright.

Just like in the original story, Neville, wielding the Gryffindor sword, slew Voldemort's Horcrux - Nagini the Serpent, and then overcame the aftereffects of his Oblivion Curse with courage, transforming into the Sword Saint of Gryffindor.

"I...I seem to have changed!"

Neville, who was originally timid in the face of the many professors watching, has now lost all his timidity and become confident and determined.

"Wake up! Wake up! You're laid off! You're laid off!"

As soon as Nawi finished marveling at his transformation, a memory orb glowing red popped out of the pocket of his robe.

The memory ball bounced and swayed in the air, constantly shouting "Awake!" and "Resigned!"

"Sober" naturally refers to Nawei, while "laid off" refers to Nawei himself.

As a Christmas gift from Dali to Navtech last year, this upgraded smart voice memory ball has completed its historical mission.

But Neville had no intention of abandoning the memory ball. He nimbly reached out and caught the smart memory ball bouncing up and down in the air, carefully putting it back into his pocket.

He expressed his deepest gratitude to Lockhart and all the professors and teaching assistants present.

This includes Snape and Dudley.
