Chapter 345： 1 all traces

Seeing this title, Sean's first thought was that he didn't understand.

Sean doesn't understand the working principle of Pensieve, but one thing is certain, what Pensieve actually does is a kind of "mapping" and "awakening".

Generally speaking, after a wizard extracts a memory, he will not directly lose this part of the memory in his mind, and the magic spell used to extract the memory plays the role of "copying" and "completion".

That is to say, when you extract this memory, it is actually the brain that cooperates with the magic spell to copy a memory from that time. The reason why people use the Pensieve is to "wake up" details that they didn't notice in the memory.

Because human brain function can be able to achieve a comprehensive recall of past events, but people's ability to recall is limited or even disordered.

Just as Sean checked Stephanie's memory just now, except for those very memorable pictures, the other pictures were blurry and broken.

There is no way you can see all the details of that memory from the perspective of God the way you can enter a Pensieve.

The combination of memory mantra and Pensieve is to help you awaken the details hidden in the subconscious and map them into a picture that can be observed.

For example, you met a very beautiful girl today, you remember her face, the color of her hair and hair, the color of her pupils, the book of Sonnets she was holding, she was wearing her uniform, the few words she smiled at you, and the size of her breasts—but you probably don't remember how many steps she took when she said hello to the corner and disappeared into your eyes.

Although your eyes see it and your brain responds, you just don't remember it.

The spells and Pensieves for extracting memories are designed to help you retrieve the details of these real existences.

In this case, a Pensieve is absolutely sufficient, because the function of the Pensieve is to show the memory, and the memory that has been shown will also be stored.

A wizard basically has only one Pensieve in his life, one is for privacy reasons, and the other is that the Pensieve is absolutely sufficient.

The question is, why do you need multiple Pensieves? This is not to open a dozen web pages at the same time and you can switch back and forth at will.

With such doubts in mind, Sean read it carefully.

"...As mentioned above, as a mysterious prop, Pensieve can fully meet the needs of wizards to check the details of their own memory, of course, if there is something to hide, feel ashamed of the past, desire to keep secrets, or want to protect privacy people, will inevitably be more vigilant about the Pensieve."

"So, when I make a Pensieve, I often imprint some unique brand on its future owner. I always think that a Pensieve is enough for a wizard's life, and those who don't cherish their Pensieve cause damage. Guys don't deserve a second. My motto is: every wizard can only buy one Pensieve from me."

"However, a unique visitor made me an exception. He told me that the Pensieve he bought from me five years ago didn't work and couldn't access memory."

"I originally wanted to blast this ignorant guy away. I've been making Pensieves for 60 years. As long as the owner takes good care of them, my products can accompany them to their graves."

"But I finally accepted him with anger, because he gave too much."

Sean: "..."

Master, your professional ethics are quite flexible...

"I checked that Pensieve, and as expected, how could something go wrong with me? It's as refined and reliable as every Pensieve I've ever made."

"But in the end I found out that that person didn't lie to me either."

"He pulled out a memory that the Pensieve couldn't [hold]."

"The Pensieve I made really can't restore a memory!"

"Everything's wrong with that memory. It's huge beyond my imagination, and the memory can't be divided after it's been extracted. Yes, a Pensieve can't hold this extremely large memory. "

"It shocked me, but as a Pensieve maker, I am not allowed to have unreadable memories. I spent a lot of energy and effort, and finally found a solution."

"I've created a new enchantment that allows me to have multiple Pensieves working at the same time, just by deconstructing and reconnecting the magic of runes."

"The problem was solved, and the visitor told me the truth after entering the memory."

"That memory wasn't [a fragment] of my normal comprehension, it was a person's life."

"Someone has extracted the memory of his entire life. Decades, or even hundreds of years of memories have been extracted. A Pensieve simply cannot accommodate so many scenes."

"Yes, how can life be matched by memory?"

"But I don't understand why the person who extracted the memory did this? Extracting all the memories and extracting fragments are not the same concept at all."

"In my perception, the runtime of the magic spell to extract memory is a process of 'copying' and 'completion', but we must respect the power of time, and the word 'copy' is not accurate enough, once you extract If you have too many memories and span too long, your original memories will begin to blur or even lose.”

"The guy who took his own life, I suspect that he has died quietly, and his grave is like a newborn who has just come to this world, empty."

"His friends, lovers, and enemies will remember him, but this man's mark on himself is completely blurred."

"This individual has personally erased his own path in this world, so that the world will forget his existence."

"Incomprehensible, incomprehensible."

Sean even saw the shock and confusion in this text, and the Pensieve maker finally believed that this kind of huge memory that extracted his entire life was unreasonable.

Putting down the parchment, Sean looked at Stephanie: "Do you suspect that Professor Dumbledore is checking an extremely large memory?"

The girl nodded: "I saw a memory bottle in Mr. Principal's side pocket that was obviously larger than the normal size. The memory silver in it was brighter and thicker than ordinary memories. I think it is an extremely large memory. , and Mr. Principal also needs multiple Pensieves to read this memory."

Shawn rubbed his chin and agreed: "It's true. So, do you think that Professor Dumbledore found some kind of amazing fact after reading this memory, and then traveled long distances in time?"

Stephanie lowered her eyes, crossed her hands in front of her stomach, and tapped her left hand on the back of her right hand, which she seemed to enjoy doing when she was thinking.

"I can't be sure, but the time between the two things is too short. I don't think it's a coincidence. Someone must have traveled long distances. Professor Dumbledore may be that person. If not, he has something to do with this incident. A great relationship."

Something to do with Dumbledore... Sean immediately thought of what Grindelwald had said to himself.

Dumbledore was laying out a game, a game that no one knew but was huge.

Sean is not worried that Dumbledore will suddenly blacken and rule the world, he is just worried - this old man can smash his own life into it in order to complete the plan...

I just don't know what Dumbledore wants to do.

Want to solve the guilt in your body? Deal with the old one standing behind the scenes? Or other more ambitious goals...

On the opposite side, Stephanie still lowered her head, but she peeked at the pensive Sean through the gap in her long hair falling from her forehead.

There was a trace of entanglement and hesitation in the girl's eyes, she was considering whether to tell Sean her other guess.

She thought that Dumbledore knew that he was nearby, and that those words were deliberately said to her - he knew that he was Grindelwald's chess piece at Hogwarts, so he had to use his mouth to tell Greene Devore news.

only……

Stephanie sighed in her heart, she didn't know whether she should contact Grindelwald, because of that bold guess...

And should I tell Sean about these things?

She didn't want to lose Sean's trust again, but these things were strictly forbidden by Grindelwald...

The girl felt that her heart was in a mess, but all the words could only be kept in her heart.

Sean finished thinking and glanced at Stephanie strangely. The other party seemed a little dull since his memory was checked.

Does she know who the person who moved her memory is?

However, the relationship between the two had obviously not reached the point where they could talk freely. Sean coughed lightly and woke up Stephanie, who was still tangled and depressed.

"Thank you for the news."

Stephanie reacted from her emotional immersion, and she quickly returned to her cold appearance.

"No, it's me who should say thank you, you could have left me alone."

Sean smiled: "Don't worry about it."

After all, it is unrealistic for Sean to forget about the previous atmosphere and actions.

In other words, a light touch shouldn't be a kiss... right?

On the other hand, Stephanie obviously also thought of the scene when she was emotionally broken down. Her delicate face did not fluctuate in any way, but there was a slight redness behind her invisible ears.

"Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, what are you going to do?" Stephanie changed the subject.

"Ah? Didn't you find it first?" Sean said suspiciously.

Ravenclaw had left the means to gain power in the Chamber of Secrets, so Stephanie must have known.

However, the other party's talent in runes shouldn't be as bad as his own, hasn't it been included in authority yet? In other words, she has already been included, but she doesn't know it.

Stephanie looked at him: "I know the authority, but it's useless to me, so I didn't choose to include... When you have a better rune, or when you find the crown, you can go and include it."

The girl's bland words surprised Sean, this is a quarter of the power of Hogwarts.

"Uh, if you're still apologizing to me, there's no need for that..." Although it is true that he is jealous of Hogwarts' authority, Sean is not a very greedy person. Someone else found it first, and from her appearance, it was obvious that The power has been incorporated into the authority.

However, Stephanie's determination exceeded his expectations.

"I'm serious, the authority of the House of Requirement is enough for me to study. And—" The girl looked straight at him, her eyes flat and firm, "You are the chief culprit, although I don't know the specific use of this authority, but At least a boost. It's good for you, for me, and for everyone else."

"All in all, whether it's the most efficient use of resources, or my selfishness from apologetics, I think this decision is the right one," Stephanie concluded.

I have to say that the other party's remarks are well-founded, and Sean's heart is moved.

He's not a mother-in-law either, and decisions are made quickly.

"I see, thank you, and I owe you a favor." Sean said calmly.

"No, you saved my life, please don't say such things," Stephanie said.

Sean finally spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I see."

Hearing Sean's acceptance, Stephanie looked a lot happier, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice became more lively.

"Wallup, if you need it, I can help you find some information on runes. I have been reading books here for a long time. Ms. Ravenclaw's research on runes is very deep."

Sean nodded: "I need these very much, and if you don't mind, just call me Sean."

Stephanie was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and answered, as if she was afraid that he would go back on it.

"Okay, Shaw, Shawn."

Sean sighed inwardly, and it seemed that the psychological hints in Stephanie's mind still left traces.

In the past, the other party would not look like this cramped little girl.

The relationship has eased, and I have learned a lot of secrets. In the future, there will be people who will help find information. It is a good thing no matter what.

The thing is, after something embarrassing like that...

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Sean waved his hand: "I'll go first, I'll go to the professors to ask about the situation, if you have any news, feel free to contact me, um, you can call me if you need help Well, okay ." Stephanie didn't hold back, just watched him walk towards the door.

When Sean walked to the door and was about to open the door, the girl shouted from behind.

"See you next time, Sean."

"Well, goodbye." Sean turned around and said, but happened to see Stephanie's expectant eyes.

"Goodbye, Stephanie."

When Sean left, Stephanie in the bedroom finally couldn't keep her indifferent face.

She jumped onto her bed like a little girl who was rewarded with a lollipop, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Stephanie rolled on the bed for a while, and when she sat up straight, her expression finally returned to her usual coldness.

She sorted out her clothes and took out a small mirror.

The mirror did not reflect her face, but it was pitch black.
