Chapter 100: Healing the Oblivion Curse
Now, Calvin has reason to believe that Bertha Jorkins saw the man Barty Crouch hiding in the basement that turned her brain into a mess, couldn't remember anything, and often disappeared.
Most likely, he has been hit by a very powerful amnesia curse, and it seems that to know the truth of the matter, Bertha Jorkins needs to be cured of his brain.
……
On Friday afternoon, Calvin left Hogwarts through the fireplace and went to Diagon Alley, where he rented a house for a long time at the Leaky Cauldron and told Old Tom not to enter it no matter what happened.
Calvin then moved to the door of a remote public toilet in London, hiding himself with an invisibility cloak and waiting for his prey to appear.
Soon Calvin spotted his target, a crazy-looking witch with a blissful smirk on her face, who came out of the public toilet alone, and the people around her, consciously or unconsciously, avoided her, or rather, ignored her.
Calvin quickly followed, and around a dark corner, pulled Bertha Jorkins into a deserted street, enveloped her with an invisibility cloak, and then took out a pocket watch and shook it in front of her eyes while saying, "Bertha, keep an eye on this pocket watch, you are my cousin, and you will go home with me." ”
At the same time, Calvin's eyes turned from blood-red to yellow, which was the magic of cats and leopards. With Muggle hypnosis, it can control wizards who are not strong in their hearts for a short time.
Calvin didn't choose to use the Imperius Charm or the Confusion Charm, as the Ministry of Magic had just finished work at this time, and there was no guarantee that the Aurors would not find any traces of these spells. Calvin didn't want to leave any more flaws with Barty Crouch, and it wouldn't be good if he was caught in the dark.
Bertha Jorkins quickly lost consciousness even faster than Calvin had imagined, which meant that the Oblivion Charm had taken a serious toll on her.
Calvin dragged Bertha Joakins Apparition back to the room at the Leaky Cauldron, placing her in a chair while taking Thestrals' glasses out of her sleeve and beginning to observe the lost witch.
Her soul was worn, with a large purple-black stain on it, which Calvin guessed was a powerful amnesia spell she had suffered. The stain corroded his soul like water, and spread outward. So Bertha Jorkins has forgotten a lot of things, and now her memory is declining.
Old Barty is really ruthless.
Calvin took off his glasses and began to make some brief inquiries about Bertha.
The result of the conversation was terrible, Bertha's mind was no more than ten years old, she did not even have a complete sense of self, and the subject of her speech was "Bertha" instead of "I", which is usually only seen in children, or deliberately pretending to be young girls.
Calvin gave Bertha a stun spell and began to think about how to heal the damage of the Oblivion Charm.
Attacking the soul directly was too dangerous for even Calvin to be sure.
Calvin pondered for a moment, and finally decided to activate Bertha Jorkins' soul healing ability and help Bertha regain her full sense of self, so that Bertha's soul should be able to repair the lost memories on its own.
It's a huge undertaking, but the only thing Calvin lacks is time, and he only has this weekend.
Bertha Joggins' disappearance wouldn't be a problem if it were a normal day, but the tracking mission that Calvin had Rita Skeeter and the underground complete had undoubtedly caught Barty Crouch's attention.
At this time, Bertha Jorkins disappears again, and Barty Crouch will definitely find out that something is wrong, and he will move the people hiding in the basement as soon as possible.
Calvin was a little irritable, he really wanted to go straight to the door and pull that man out of the basement to see what Barty Crouch was hiding.
But Calvin can't do that, he has to play by the rules of the game and beat Barty in the rules. Calvin wants to give the guardian of the rules, Albus Dumbledore, this face.
Calvin sighed slightly, this was the only way to go.
He pulls out a long drawing from his sleeve that contains the main scenes of Bertha Jorkins from her own consciousness, to going to Hogwarts, to working at the Ministry of Magic, to her first disappearance.
This is based on the Amazons' investigation of Bertha Jorkins, Calvin tried to use the important memories of Bertha's life to stimulate the self-healing power of her soul.
Calvin brings Bertha into the world of the painting, first using the Transfiguration Charm on her, turning into a little girl, then ending the Coma Charm and allowing Bertha to live her life all over again.
Calvin watched from the corner what Bertha had been through, her first talking, her first walking, her first running, her first magical riot, her first visit to Diagon Alley, her first visit to Hogwarts, her first class, her first spellcasting, her first encounter with love, her first job search, her first work......
The cycle went on and on, Bertha probably repeated her life more than eighty times in the world in the painting, and her eyes began to have a little charm, Calvin took out her Thestrals' glasses and looked at them, and most of the small stains on her soul were gone.
After more than a hundred more experiences in the first half of her life, Bertha Jorkins' eyes began to become bright, and she gradually doubted the reality of the world around her.
Finally, on the first encounter with the boy in her life for the twenty-hundred-and-fifty time, Bertha began to break away from the script, took out her wand, and asked, "Who is it?" Where exactly is this? ”
Calvin looked through the Thestrals' glasses and saw that only one of the last large purple-black stains remained on Bertha's soul, and it was still fading.
Almost.
Calvin took off his glasses and teleported to Bertha's side, taking her out of the world in the painting.
As soon as he came out, a strong feeling of exhaustion hit him instantly, Bertha Joakins fainted directly on the bed in the hotel, and Calvin almost didn't stand firm.
Calvin glanced at his pocket watch, and at three o'clock in the morning, he had set the speed of time in the world in the painting to thousands of times that of the real world, and the result was that his magic and physical strength were almost exhausted.
Calvin forced himself out of the room and returned to Hogwarts through the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron. He didn't even go back to his office, but went straight to the basement level of Hogwarts, Snape's office.
Calvin knocked on Snape's door with the last of his strength, and his luck was that it didn't take long for Snape to open it.
"I must warn you, it's three o'clock in the morning, Capet," Snape said to Calvin in a dark green nightgown, and soon he noticed Calvin's unusually pale face, "Capet, I've never seen you so embarrassed, what are you doing?" ”
Calvin grinned, "Help me, Seaver..."
Before he could finish speaking, Calvin passed out in the doorway of Snape's office.
