Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 248 Forcibly Keeping the Clairvoyant Eye! The Feedback from the Chinese Magical Community!

To cure Neville of the side effects of the Amnesia Curse.

Gilderoy Lockhart was a one-trick pony who couldn't use any other spells and whose direct combat power was practically zero, but was exceptionally proficient in the Oblivion Charm.

His bestselling books on fighting dark creatures were not based on his own personal experiences, but rather on the memories of outstanding wilderness survival wizards from all over the world.

Lockhart would deliberately approach this group of people, using his approachable appearance and excellent social skills to extract real experiences and techniques for fighting dark creatures from these outstanding wizards, which he would then turn into his writing material.

Then, he secretly casts a powerful forgetting spell on the wizard he tricked into revealing information, thus stealing the wizard's experiences for his own use.

Dudley recognized Lockhart's talent and expertise in the field of Oblivion Charms.

Since Lockhart is so skilled at casting the Forgetfulness Curse, he must also have considerable knowledge of the counter-curse of the Forgetfulness Curse and the side effects of the Curse of Forgetfulness.

Even if Lockhart doesn't currently possess the knowledge and skills in this area, given his talent in the field of forgetting spells, it's not too late for him to start studying it after entering the school.

Dudley has leverage over Lockhart, and is also incredibly powerful and immune to the Oblivion Curse. As soon as Lockhart arrives at Hogwarts, he will be quickly taken under Dudley's control and become Dudley's loyal servant.

As for Lockhart teaching his students Defense Against the Dark Arts, there's no need to worry.

Although Lockhart's experiences were stolen from others, this does not prevent the techniques and experiences he uses in his book to deal with dark creatures from being real and practical.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have become a bestselling author famous in the international magic community.

We can control Lockhart by using coercion and bribery.

Let him stop being so brainless as to focus his teaching on his celebrity personal information, and let him stop overestimating his abilities by bringing in some small dark creatures for classroom demonstrations, and stop him from opening some dueling club.

He should simply use his social skills and storytelling abilities to teach the students the valuable experience and knowledge he has stolen from other wizards in a vivid and easy-to-understand way, and teach the theory classes of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

As for the practical training in capturing dark creatures and the dueling to improve the students' combat skills, that was left to the other professors and Dudley.

In this way, everyone except Lockhart himself is happy.

Dudley had a clear plan. He had previously considered asking Lockhart to help treat Neville, but he hadn't had the right opportunity. Now that the time was right, he could bring it up.

"Then it's settled for now. I'll notify Sirius, Remus, Severus, and Gilderoy separately and wait for their feedback."

Dumbledore spoke to Dudley, then looked at Moody, "Alastor, take a few days to rest. Once you're fully recovered, I'll arrange for you to coordinate classes with the other professors."

Moody nodded slightly in agreement, then, using the blanket as a crutch, he propped himself up on one leg and sat back down on his hospital bed.

Daryl hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand in a circle, opened his personal space, took out Moody's wooden prosthetic limb and rose-colored wine flask, and returned them to Moody, whose eyes lit up.

"The pot contains a compound decoction, or rather, a compound decoction mixed with your hair. It's not wine, so don't drink it," Dali kindly reminded him.

“I understand. Thank you, Assistant Professor Dursley, for rescuing me. I will repay you in the future.”

Moody nodded, uncorked the flask, cast a vanishing spell on the polysaccharide inside, emptied the flask, then skillfully attached his wooden prosthetic leg and hung the flask on his waist.

After doing all this, Moody still felt something was missing. He quickly realized that he lacked his usual panoramic perspective, which allowed him to see everything from all angles, even the back of his head.

He immediately asked, "Assistant Dursley, since you helped me get the prosthetic limb and the flask, did you see my Demon Eye?"

"I saw it, it's right in my hands." This was the question Dali had been waiting for, and he answered very frankly.

When Moody heard Dudley say that, he was stunned. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Then can you give it back to me?"

"No!" Dali replied crisply and decisively once again.

"Why?" Moody was almost speechless.

"Because I've got my eye on it; it's my trophy."

Dudley said, "And Professor Moody, you're not an Auror anymore, you're going to be a professor, and you're still wearing a Mystic Eye with X-ray vision. Do you think that's appropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Moody didn't understand Dudley's meaning for a moment. He had been wearing the Magic Eye for many years and hadn't felt any problems.

Dali rolled his eyes at Moody. How could someone so old still be so clueless?

“That’s definitely not quite right, Alastor. I’ll have another regular Mystic Eye custom-made for you!”

Dumbledore intervened again to defuse the situation.

Moody then realized what was happening and said indignantly, "I never use my magic eye to spy on others..."

"Alright! Alastor, I know, we all know, but we can't give others something to talk about, can we?"

Dumbledore interrupted Moody in time, offering a tactful reminder.

He knew that Dudley had once again decided to use his magical talent to fuse magical items.

What could I do? I could only try to smooth things over.

Dali smiled slightly, took his leave, and departed.

Although Moody's X-ray vision is only a B-grade magical item, it can see through the walls of buildings, the clothes people wear, and even their own organs.

It can even see through the invisibility cloak, one of the Deathly Hallows.

Layered perspective allows you to see whatever you want, and it looks good no matter how you look at it.

The fusion offers extremely high cost-effectiveness.

Such a treasure has fallen into Dali's hands, how can there be any reason to return it?

Let's turn Professor Moody from Mad-Eye into a wise man!

……

After Dudley left the ward, Dumbledore also said goodbye to Moody and quickly followed.

In the castle corridor, the two, encased in a soundproof barrier, communicated the response from the Chinese side.

Dumbledore told Dudley that the Chinese Ministry of Magic was grateful for the Hogwarts professors' and teaching assistants' actions in stopping the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, and was willing to pay part of the bounty on Mo Xuan to Hogwarts.

They also said that the joint task force from China had already set off, and once they had captured the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, they were willing to hand over Voldemort's soul from the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner to Hogwarts.

Dudley wasn't interested in either of these matters. He wasn't short of money, and as for the Voldemort split soul that had been captured by the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, he didn't think it would fall smoothly into the hands of the Chinese anti-crime team.

If the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan is pushed to the brink, he will definitely sacrifice the ghost general formed from Voldemort's split soul to shield him from the attack. The Chinese anti-crime team will have no choice but to take drastic measures and banish Voldemort's split soul to the world of the dead behind the veil.

If something unexpected happens, the outcome could be even more unpredictable and unforeseen.

Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it's better to work hard to complete the system tasks and get the chance to obtain the concept sublimation spell.

After recounting the official response from the Chinese Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore then spoke to Dudley about Liu Tao's reply to him.

The letter described the identity and background of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, his ruthless rise to power after digging up the broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and how Mo Xuan was besieged by the righteous sects in China and barely managed to escape abroad.

It was also said that Hogwarts' strong resistance against the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan had sparked a slight idea in the Chinese cultivation community about external exchanges, and that they might send younger, secret cultivators to Hogwarts for mutual exchange and learning in the future.
