The next day, Snape, who had put on his iconic black robe again, came to the Tulip Community in London and came to this conclusion after checking the conditions of the two old wizards.
"I've been under the Oblivion Curse for a while."
It's not that Dudley didn't want to take the two of them to Godric's Hollow, mainly because it was next to the Potter family's old house. Wouldn't taking them there be irritating to Snape?
"It's more difficult to recover."
Snape's comment was 'it's more troublesome to recover' rather than the St. Mungo's healer's 'you can only do your best', this is the difference between the two.
"Professor, you should have a solution."
Dudley said as he took bottles of potion ingredients from his bag and placed them on the table.
"What can I do?" Snape raised his eyebrows and looked at Dudley with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Let me tell you your suggestions first."
Snape was generally very satisfied with Dudley, his 'disciple' who he had taught and taught him step by step. After seeing their condition, Snape believed that Dudley was also capable of curing them.
"I think we can use the revival spell and the memory potion together."
Dudley made his point.
"Your idea is theoretically valid, but it is a bit conservative. Remember, you are a potion master. Don't think about waving the magic wand foolishly. Restoration potions and memory potions can also achieve the same effect, or even better. good."
After hearing this, Snape made a brief evaluation and stated his point of view, which made Dudley suddenly enlightened.
After all, he is the top potion master in the wizarding world. In terms of simply making potions, there is actually not much difference between Dudley and Snape, but Dudley is still slightly inferior in using it.
"It seems you still lack some practical experience."
As Snape said, Dudley lacked practical experience.
After saying that, Snape directly ordered: "Dursley, grind the medicine for me."
"Yes, Professor."
Dudley knew that Snape planned to demonstrate and teach him in person, so he said it very obediently in a tone that was completely inconsistent with his strong physique.
Snape seemed not to notice, and began to give Dudley on-the-spot guidance step by step. He taught very attentively, and Dudley listened very carefully.
These are valuable experiences.
The time it takes to boil the potion can be long or short, but it has nothing to do with the difficulty.
A long process, such as compound decoction, will take at least a month, while a short process, such as a potion to treat scabies, will only take less than a quarter of an hour.
It doesn't mean that it needs to be simmered for so long, even if it is simmered over low heat, it will be dry. It is the preliminary preparation work. One of the main ingredients of the polyjuice potion, lacewings, takes a full twenty-one days to process. Another ingredient, sapweed, also needs to be picked during the full moon.
The two potions proposed by Snape were of the general type. Even so, it took a whole week to prepare them, and several herbs were more troublesome to handle.
During this week, Snape explained some skills in preparing potions while imparting practical experience, including which potions should be used under what circumstances, and which potions will achieve what effect when combined with which potions.
Dudley was preparing potions while greedily absorbing the experience taught by Snape.
The simplest example is that the combined use of slowing potion + petrifying potion can minimize the speed of the opponent. However, if the two potions are mixed together before use, they will become an unstable mixture, which is as powerful as an explosive potion, but because It is unstable and may explode at any time.
Age-increasing agents cannot be taken at the same time as beauty agents, otherwise the body hair will grow dozens of times in a short period of time, and all will fall off after an hour. The most important thing is that no hair will grow again within a month. .
There are countless experiences like this.
If Dudley keeps making potions according to the script, then he can only become an excellent potion master, but he will never become a potion master.
A week later, the potion was brewed successfully, and of course it was perfect without exception.
Looking at the faint fluorescent green potion in the potion bottle, Snape nodded with satisfaction.
After the two old wizards took the potion, they fell asleep.
Snape told Dudley that it would take three days of continuous consumption before the lost memory would gradually recover. This process was necessary and could not be rushed, and if you wanted to recover all the memories, it would only depend on the degree of brain damage.
The Forgetting Curse is really harmful to the brain, and some memories will be lost to some extent. As for which memories will be lost, it really can only be left to fate.
Before leaving, Snape handed a yellowed notebook to Dudley: "Take this notebook back and study it carefully. When school starts, I hope to be different, at least not to waste my talents like now."
The book records Snape's thoughts and experiences over the years.
It would be impossible to give Dudley such precious notes if he didn't regard him as his disciple.
"Okay, Professor."
Dudley solemnly put the notebook into his small bag. He had already found the way forward.
In fact, he really wanted to invite Snape to the castle as a guest, but he knew that Snape would definitely not go.
Godric's Hollow, Snape's lifelong pain.
Just as Snape had judged, three days later, the two old wizards finally recalled some things about the past.
Soon more and more memories were retrieved
Five days later, they basically recovered their memories, but unfortunately, the memory about their identities was still missing, and they couldn't remember it no matter how hard they tried.
So the two temporary nicknames Pipilu and Lu Xixi could only be used forever.
On the one hand, the two old wizards were homeless, and on the other hand, they wanted to repay Dudley for saving his life.
They chose to teach Harry the Charms in Godric's Hollow.
Despite their age, none of the wizards who have traveled around the world are simple and have rich practical experience.
For example, there are twelve ways of using the floating spell, twenty-eight techniques of clear spring like water, and four ways of reading the spell of falling apart.
These skills gained in actual combat opened the eyes of Harry and the three of them and benefited a lot.
It's not because they really didn't expect Lockhart, a great writer, to suddenly attack them. If they faced each other head-on, a hundred Lockharts wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
Just as Dudley was striving to become a Potions Master, the three Harrys were also improving their actual combat abilities at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What? Little wizards can't just use magic during the holidays? Does the Ministry of Magic have a heald that can be traced?
If the Ministry of Magic was really reliable, nothing would happen to Voldemort.
In fact, they would only supervise a few key personnel, and Harry was one of them, but Dudley found a way to block him during the summer vacation of his first year.
A month later, a piece of news that shocked the entire wizarding world came without any warning.
This directly made the Ministry of Magic the target of public criticism, pushing Minister of Magic Fudge to the forefront, and there were so many complaint letters that he couldn't even keep them in the pile.
Sirius Black, one of Azkaban's most felons, successfully escapes from prison.
I don't know what method was used, but he slipped away from under the noses of countless dementors.
