In his field of vision, there was a giant mountain with an exaggerated shape.
A mountain made of memory bubbles and fragments squeezing, stacking, and gathering together.
Anduin looked at the towering memory mountain in this magical vision. He was sure that almost all the memories in Frank's thinking space were piled here, whether they were past or present.
"How could this happen?" Anduin thought in confusion, and then concentrated on observing this special scene, trying to find some clues from it.
Then he discovered some special places. There seemed to be something hidden in this memory mountain. If he observed quietly, he could still see a faint green light flashing through the memory bubbles.
After thinking for a while, he decided to give it a try, and then carefully stretched out his thinking tentacles and gently touched the mountain peak.
But something happened suddenly, and Frank's confused expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he began to struggle constantly.
Discovering Frank's mutation, Anduin quickly retracted his thinking tentacles and ended 'Legilimency'.
"What's wrong?"
Augusta, who also discovered Frank's abnormality, quickly came over and checked Frank's status, but since Anduin withdrew his thinking tentacles, Frank returned to that confused state again.
After careful inspection, Augusta didn't notice anything strange about Frank, but she also noticed her son's strange changes just now, and she looked at Anduin with questioning eyes.
Because Anduin was afraid of causing secondary damage to Frank, his mental exploration was very slow and all his movements were cautious. At this time, he was also exhausted and sweating profusely.
After taking a breath, he said to Augusta who looked at him: "Frank's situation is a bit special."
"Oh, you are looking for the cause of the problem." Augusta asked quickly after hearing what Anduin said.
"It seems to have been found, but not completely found." Anduin himself was very confused and said thoughtfully.
"What does this mean?" Augusta frowned, obviously not understanding what Anduin said.
Anduin thought for a while under Augusta's gaze and then replied: "Their memories may be due to the influence of the Cruciatus Curse. Almost all of them shrank into a ball and were glued together abnormally. If
If you want to restore their memories, you have to find a way to break this bonding state, but so far I haven't thought of any way to do it."
After listening to Anduin's words, Augusta stood up, walked around for a while, tilted his head and asked: "Does that mean that as long as we find a way to relieve their special memory state, we can restore their memory?"
?”
"Theoretically, this is true, but the operation is very difficult." Anduin replied.
"Oh, why is that?" Augusta asked.
"Memory is not like bricks. After being built into a wall and cut open, it can turn into bricks again. Memory fragments are very fragile. If they are handled carelessly, they may even cause secondary damage." Anduin sighed.
Moreover, this state is too rare. Anduin has read a lot of books related to memory magic, but he has not found any similar records at all. If he starts from scratch, there is no similar material to conduct experiments, so he cannot directly
Let's experiment with Frank and Alice. If something goes wrong, it will harm him.
Augusta also sighed, "I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Maybe this is the fate of the two of them. Thank you Anduin. I appreciate your kindness. I already have enough to bear.
Even if they never recover, as long as I can see them often, I will be happy."
"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Anduin frowned, "We will find a way. Although we don't have a clue now, if we know the reason, at least there is hope."
Augusta thought Anduin was comforting her, so she forced a smile and nodded, "Okay, that's it for today. It's time for us to go back."
The two walked out of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries with heavy hearts.
A few days passed after returning to Longbottom's old house. During this time, Anduin searched for a lot of relevant information, but he was still at a loss. It seemed that he would not be able to find a solution for a while.
"It seems like we have to find a way to expand our data reserves so that we can get rid of that guy." Anduin thought.
The next day, Anduin told Augusta that he wanted to go to Diagon Alley and would go back later. Then he took Muggle transportation to the Leaky Cauldron.
Walking into the Leaky Cauldron, Tom, whom he hadn't seen for three years, was still the same as before, cleaning glasses alone behind the bar. However, there were still some differences between the bar and the last time Anduin came. There were customers in the bar, and the number of people
Quite a few.
When passing by several dining tables, I saw several guests with fried chicken on their plates. It seemed that the recipe he had left for Tom was quite popular.
"Boss, have a cup of butterbeer."
Tom, who was concentrating on wiping the wine glass, heard a familiar voice. He looked up and laughed: "Haha, Anduin, you still know how to come back to see me, you heartless guy, we haven't been together for three years."
See you."
"Yes, I have been entangled in some chores before. This is the first time I have returned to Diagon Alley after so many years. Your business is good." Anduin smiled slightly.
"It's not thanks to you that the menu you gave me is very popular. Maybe you can consider opening a bar of your own in the future." Tom was very happy to see Anduin again and drank a large glass of butterbeer and pushed it in front of him.
The two long-lost friends met again, and they always had endless topics to talk about. The two soon chatted together, and Anduin once again learned about the changes in the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley in the past two years.
Since the mysterious man disappeared, the wizards who were hiding have come out to party and have a carnival. During that time, Tom's business was so good that there was almost no room left in the bar.
But after a while, those unsupervised Death Eaters came out to cause trouble. You must know that many of those guys were lunatics. In addition, they were wanted and hunted, and they acted more and more recklessly, causing a lot of damage.
The alley was even under martial law for a period of time.
However, the Ministry of Magic, under the leadership of Millicent Barnold, worked very efficiently. Frequent arrests arrested some Death Eaters and quickly suppressed the riots, and the remaining Death Eaters were either
Either on the run or in hiding, or because he had a background behind him and was exonerated. Diagon Alley has returned to peace roughly half a year ago, and the same situation is basically the same everywhere in the magical world.
