Rubik's Cube of Heavens - Chapter 60
When he heard that Ollivander wanted to teach him a new spell, Coven was looking forward to it. At the same time, he also noticed Ollivander’s hesitation in this chat.
‘It seemed that this spell would be very precious and should belong to the level of the wizard’s family.’
Therefore, Coven couldn’t help but become serious. He asked with a serious expression, “Is it okay? If it’s troubling you, you don’t have to teach me. I have learned a lot about the rules of the wizard’s world in the past three months. I know that every family has a spell that will never be spread. “
Ollivander was slightly stunned. He did not expect Coven to know this, but he still smiled and said kindly, “It doesn’t matter, child. You are worthy of me doing this.”
“Then can I know what kind of curse it is?” Coven continued to speak seriously, “Maybe there is one in Hogwarts’ library as well. In that case, I will go to the professors, and they will agree to let me borrow books. This way, I will not make things difficult for you.”
“No, Hogwarts does not have the records of that curse.” Ollivander explained with great gratification, “It is simple to say. It is just a Memory Charm. But as far as I know, in the entire English wizard world, only your librarian knows this curse. This curse is indeed like what you said. It is a secret inheritance of some families that has never been revealed to others.”
“Then I…” Coven was surprised. He did not expect that the ‘Memory Charm’ that Ollivander wanted to teach him was such a precious thing.
“It doesn’t matter if I tell you.” Ollivander smiled and shook his head slightly. “I also said that I hope you can treat me as your family. Since we are family, there is no problem in passing this curse to you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Ollivander!” Coven stood up seriously and bowed to Ollivander sincerely.
“Haha, get up, child.” Ollivander smiled and reached out to help Coven up. Then he patted Coven on the shoulder and said, “With your talent, the achievements you can achieve in the future must be very great. I firmly believe in this, and I am afraid that I can’t help you more than this ‘Memory Charm ‘.”
“No, sir.” Coven shook his head in disapproval and said, “You have already given me a lot of help and care. If not for you, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have my current life, and I wouldn’t have any future achievements.”
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” As Ollivander spoke, he couldn’t help but look at Coven with even more admiration and gratification. He sighed with emotion, “Your personality is much better now than it was before school started. At that time, you were a yes-man. I was really afraid that you would live a life of danger.”
“Look at how good you are now. This is far beyond my expectations. You are more mature and sensible than any child of the same age.”
“This is all because of you, Mr. Ollivander…”
“Alright, alright. You said it again.” Ollivander interrupted Coven with a smile. Then, he revealed a look of realization and said to Coven, “By the way, if you want to learn the ‘Memory Charm’, you have to learn another spell.”
“What other spell do you want to learn?” Coven asked, confused.
“A spell to prevent the ‘Memory Charm’ from leaking.” Ollivander explained, “Although the ‘secret spell’ can prevent the spell from leaking, the ‘secret spell’ is not completely safe. If others cast some evil spells on the ‘secret spell’, there is also a risk of leakage.”
Coven frowned slightly because the ‘secret spell’ and ‘secret spell’ that Ollivander mentioned touched his knowledge blind spot.
As if understanding Coven’s expression, Ollivander said, “Don’t worry about that. You will understand in the future. Let’s go back to the spell I want to teach you.”
“Okay, sir.”
“I want to teach you the insurance spell. It is called the ‘memory protection spell’, and it is also called the ‘Occlumency’*.” Ollivander continued to explain, “This spell can prevent others from reading your thoughts and memories. After you master this spell, others will not be able to steal the memory from your brain..”
[*TL Note: Occlumency was the magic of closing one’s mind against Legilimency. It was ancient and had existed since medieval times. It could prevent a Legilimens from accessing one’s thoughts and feelings or influencing them. A wizard or witch who practised this art was known as an Occlumens.]
“Occlumency…” Coven muttered.
“What’s wrong?” Ollivander asked.
“No, nothing.” Coven came back to his senses and shook his head. “It’s just that I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I can’t remember.”
Although he said that, Coven tried hard to recall that he had seen this word when he was investigating the information.
Ollivander did not mind after hearing Coven’s answer. He only thought that Coven had heard of the’ memory protection spell ‘in school. Therefore, Ollivander said, “We will talk about the ‘Occlumency’ problem later. We will learn the ‘Memory Charm’ first. Come with me.”
After saying that, Ollivander walked to the second floor, and Coven immediately followed.
Soon, the two arrived at Ollivander’s bedroom. Ollivander asked Coven to wait for a moment, and then he walked to the storage cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and opened a hidden compartment with his wand.
There was only one item in the secret compartment, and it was a bottle of Potion.
Ollivander carefully took Potion out of the secret compartment. He walked towards Coven and explained, “The Memory Charm is just an ordinary curse in the outside world, but just like most of the spells have a high-level use, the Memory Charm also has a higher use.”
Coming in front of Coven, Ollivander held the bottle of Potion with his palm and continued to explain, “However, the high-level usage of the ‘Memory Charm’ needs to be cooperated with this bottle of Potion.”
“Sir.” Coven was currently thirsty for magic knowledge, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What is the effect of an ordinary Memory Charm? What is the effect of a high-level one?”
Ollivander didn’t expect that Coven was still concerned about knowledge at this time. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn’t help but think that Coven should belong to Ravenclaw. He couldn’t help but laugh.
While laughing, Ollivander also satisfied Coven’s desire for knowledge. He patiently explained, “Ordinary usage can make you remember a memory you want to remember. The memory will become very profound and will not be completely forgotten over time.”
“For example, if you recite a poem, under normal circumstances, after a long time, you will naturally blur the memory of this poem, but if you use the ‘Memory Charm’, this memory will never be blurred.”
Hearing this, Coven could not help but ask, “What about the high-level effect of the ‘Memory Charm’?”
“High-level effects are amazing.” Ollivander said proudly, “High-level effects can turn your brain into a library. Memories are like all kinds of books in the library.”
“So that’s how it is!” Coven suddenly understood and said excitedly, “Just like how you can remember every wand you sell!”
“Haha!” Ollivander laughed.
