Back in Hampshire, Southampton, 86 Eastleigh Road, Jon Hart's summer life began.

On the first day of his return, he threw the wand into the innermost layer of the suitcase, and wrapped it in a towel.

Because of the existence of such a thing as "trace", you can't cast spells at home.

The trail will record the release of magic from underage wizards and their surroundings, and if magic fluctuations are detected, the Ministry of Magic's Office of Misuse of Magic will immediately write a warning to you, and in serious cases, you will even be expelled from Hogwarts.

He wasn't the main character, so he didn't get any preferential treatment, and Jon didn't want to have an accident that cut off his wand, erase his memory, and continue to come back as an ordinary person.

But he's not completely idle.

Magic can't be used, but potions can still be matched......

After all, you don't need to wave your wand or chant spells to prepare potions.

As early as the day he returned, Jon had used Snape's "name" to buy a large pile of magic materials and a few slightly more advanced magic books at the potions shop in Diagon Alley.

In mid-June, he rented a cottage on Eastleigh Road, about 500 yards from his home.

Then he moved the cauldron, the glass bottle, the potion materials, and so on.

After all, there may be some accidents in the configuration of potions, and there will even be dangers, and it is not safe to keep at home.

......

When the summer vacation began, Jon first began to prepare a potion of polyjuice again......

After many transformations last semester, the stock of compound decoction has been used up a lot, and some need to be replenished, but with the experience of the last time, this time it is obviously much more proficient in configuration.

At the same time, he also began to experiment with the configuration of "Warrior Flask" and "Enhancement Potion".

Both potions are important parts of the OWLs exam, and are generally only attempted by Hogwarts students in their third and fourth grades.

The "Warrior Elixir" is similar to adrenaline, which can increase a person's reaction, speed, and strength for a short period of time, making it easier for wizards to cast spells, but there are certain side effects, and the body will fall into a weakened state after taking it for a long time.

For example, when used with a Compound Potion to increase the duration of the transformation, and if the Compound Potion is taken continuously, the effect of the transformation can be continued (no longer reverting to its original form).

These two potions are the two potions that Jon has found, which are relatively simple and have some practical value (most of the potions learned in the first, second, and third grade potions classes are only valuable for young wizards to practice).

As for the more meaningful elixirs, elixirs of truth, or aphrodisiacs...... Although Jon had read the content of the "Powerful Potion" before, the cumbersome and complicated configuration steps still stopped him.

He was only a first-year Hogwarts graduate, and even if he had a little talent for potions, he still needed to study and practice before he was qualified to explore the science of potions further.

......

In addition to preparing potions, Jon also took a moment off.

After being transformed into the image of "Varian Ureon", he went to Mr. Robert Wilson's hardware store at 21 Winchester Road.

Mr. Wilson was given another sum of money, and Jon asked him to help him order a batch of silver bullets.

"Silver bullets?" asked Mr. Wilson, puzzled, "silver is so soft that bullets made from it can't do any harm at all...... Wryon, why are you making such a strange request?"

"I said I was there to deal with werewolves, do you believe me?" said Varian-Wryon with a smirk.

"No kidding!" The owner of the hardware store shook his head, "How can there be werewolves in this world...... What type of bullet do you need?"

"0.357 Magnum and 5.45mm pistol rounds, a little bit!"

"Okay, I'll do it for you in a month!"

The 1993-1994 school year doesn't seem to have much to prepare, except for a few silver bullets, and all Jon can think of is a flashlight (werewolves fear glare and silverware).

However, all parts of Hogwarts except for the Room of Requirement are ineffective, so it is better to bring a few candles.

Of course, Jon didn't forget to find a calendar, and circled all the full moon nights of the coming year based on what he learned in astronomy class.

Finally, he also went to the Waitrose supermarket and bought two bags of high-quality dog food with a longer shelf life, just in case.

He also moved these prepared things to the newly rented cottage and put them away.

......

Outside of the potions, Jon, who was idle and bored, had to start flipping through the white booklet that Lockhart had left him.

The Oblivion Charm was more esoteric than all of Jon's previous spells, but it wasn't technically a very complex spell.

After all, it's the most widely used spell by many Ministry of Magic staff.

However, the Oblivion Charm used by Gilderoy Lockhart is obviously different from the ordinary one.

For ordinary Ministry of Magic staff who need to use the Oblivion Charm, their spell only needs to make Muggles forget what has happened in the past few hours.

And if Lockhart wants to achieve his goal of stealing the results of the target, he needs to delete the memory of the target in the past few years, or even more than ten years.

Not to mention that the workload is completely different, and more importantly, once the memory of such a long time is rudely deleted, even the stupidest person will lose the memory for years or decades, I am afraid that the anomaly will be quickly discovered.

Once exposed, Lockhart would have been discredited......

Therefore, when Lockhart uses the Oblivion Charm, he usually creates a false set of memories first, and then replaces them with some of the memories he wants to delete.

After modifying the target's memory, it doesn't cause the target to have any unusual thoughts.

This method is obviously much more difficult and complicated than ordinary methods.

If it was in school, I'm afraid Jon wouldn't spend too much time on such a spell that didn't have much effect in a short period of time (after all, he wouldn't be a charlatan like Lockhart).

But now he can't use magic, and he can't find a few books at hand.

I was bored and bored, so I had to bite the bullet and forcibly memorize the content of the white booklet.

Fortunately, Lockhart made a lot of marks and notes on the booklet so that Jon's understanding would not be too difficult......

He felt that after a month of hard work, he still had a little understanding of the Oblivion Curse...... Although there has been no experimentation, it is unclear to what extent.
