Chapter nine hundred and sixty fifth coveting and disagreement
Hogwarts Library.
Draco Malfoy helped Ron and Harry revise the paper while trying to suppress the rising discomfort.
Compared with their peers living in the non-magical world, young wizards have some natural advantages in learning. This advantage is not just about their ability to control magic, but more importantly, their long-term lingering knowledge.
Magic power, a wizard's physique that can withstand magic optimization and improvement.
Whether it's the ability to resist blows, vitality, mental strength, memory...
Even the freshmen who have just stepped onto campus, without exception, have physiques that are far superior to ordinary people.
If the limit of an ordinary teenager's learning ability is 100, then according to the elite teaching and training in the non-magic world, he can roughly tap into a potential of 60-80 points. In Elena's view, the limit of a young wizard is at least
It can be doubled or tripled, but with the current teaching content and pressure at Hogwarts, the potential of even the 50-point "non-magical passing line" may not be successfully explored.
There is no doubt that the original teaching model of Hogwarts is too gentle and a bit unstructured.
Under the tide of the times such as "new curriculum standards" and "new curriculum reform", the curriculum content of Hogwarts has rapidly become enriched.
In addition to the original magic courses, non-magical mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, grammar... these interesting tools that support people's understanding and explanation of the world have also been added to the "Hogwarts Teaching Package".
And the collision with magic creates new knowledge.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, the richness of courses in the magical world will soon exceed that of the non-magical world.
The differentiation of the various grades in Hogwarts has begun to give warnings. As the courses become more difficult, falling behind will inevitably occur.
Therefore, attempts to improve the inheritance of memory magic have gradually moved from marginal projects to a very important position.
As the person in charge of this project of the Foundation, Gilderoy Lockhart will first use memory magic to imprint the knowledge points of Muggle courses in his mind based on his own learning results in "Academy City" every week, and form them into a form that can be
The transferred memory contents.
Draco Malfoy, who was promoted to a C-class member, voluntarily opened his memory and became the first wizard to receive magical "initiation".
"Draco, are you okay?"
Harry frowned and looked at the pale Draco with concern.
Perhaps in the eyes of most of his classmates, Draco Malfoy has always looked so pale, but Harry knew very well that Draco was in quite a bad state. There was obviously something wrong with his body, but he was not there for the time being.
Know what exactly happened.
"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired recently..."
Draco shook his head, closed his eyes and let out a breath, showing a tired smile.
"It's good to have a little rest. I've been doing too much homework recently. Okay, Ron, don't get distracted. Your formulas are wrong in these places. Remember it carefully later. You can rely on your hard work to remember the content. Try not to be lazy.
If you miss it, you will be in trouble if you owe too much debt."
"It doesn't matter. The worst I can do is fail the grade - or repeat the grade. Anyway, my family is not as good as me."
Ron curled his lips in disapproval and muttered quietly, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
As a Weasley child, he will inevitably be compared to other Weasley children by his parents, professors, and classmates.
Not to mention Percy, Bill, Charlie, who have long been labeled as "excellent", and the twin brothers George and Fred, who are extremely popular in Gryffindor House, even Ginny, who has just entered the school, is now
She also looks much better than him - both in terms of grades and Quidditch.
Snapped!
"Repeat a grade? Weasley! Do you think repeating a grade means repeating a grade? I can't afford to lose that person."
Before Ron could finish speaking, Draco Malfoy rolled up his notebook and hit him in the head.
"Didn't you say you were going to surprise me at the end of the semester? Why are you so discouraged after only three months? Repeating a grade in Hogwarts is not a pleasant and relaxing thing. If you don't want to suffer pain and regret later, you should finally
It’s good to spend more time studying now.”
"What can I do? I'm not like you and Harry, who can learn it easily -"
"Then work harder to learn. Besides, what kind of talent do you think I have? I'm not yet—"
Draco interrupted Ron's words unceremoniously and said coldly. In the middle of his words, there was an abrupt pause for half a second.
"Well, if I haven't tried hard to memorize and memorize that knowledge, how do you think I'm any easier than you? Didn't I write these assignments word for word? The same goes for the second sister and the eldest sister...
…Everyone is like this.”
"Obviously it's not the same. Anyway, you are now in the first-tier echelon like the eldest sister, so you can naturally say so."
Ron muttered a little dejectedly, scattering manuscript papers on the table.
"You guy, you must fight with me to the end today - ugh -"
Seeing Ron giving up on himself, Draco Malfoy's pale face turned red. Before he could curse, the nausea that he had not been able to suppress surged up even more violently, causing him to let out a cry.
Sounds like horrible retching.
"I didn't—Draco, what's wrong with you?" Ron was stunned for half a second and looked at Malfoy blankly.
Didn't Draco... feel angry because of the conversation just now?
Only then did Ron realize that something was wrong with Draco Malfoy's state.
Draco's lips were a bloodless blue-gray, as if he had just returned from a winter swim in the black lake. There were some fine beads of sweat on his forehead, as if Draco was enduring some kind of pain.
Incomprehensible pain and suffering.
"That's it for today, Draco, I think you need to go see Madam Pomfrey."
Harry frowned heavily, stood up, and stuffed the papers and pens on the table into his school bag.
"Ron, help me, we have to escort him to the school infirmary today - Draco, your state these days is really weird, you Slytherin will have a game this weekend
I don’t want to see you fall from the sky then.”
As he spoke, he pulled Draco to his feet without any explanation, and walked out of the library with Ron's assistance.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine..."
Draco struggled, trying to break free from the coercion of his two friends.
As a participant in the "Memory Inheritance Project", Draco Malfoy certainly knew the reasons for these reactions.
Human "memory" does not exist only in one area, nor is it a simple accumulation of files like a computer hard drive.
Gilderoy Lockhart believed that the memory process is the process of processing, storing and retrieving input information.
Only processed information can be remembered. Processing is the process of processing and transforming the input information. If it is not understood and processed, then the information will be like a messy and crazy dream. When extracting, it will be all at once.
gush out.
Before he could fully comprehend the knowledge forced into his mind, dizziness like this would appear from time to time.
On the other hand, today's "initiation magic" is ultimately based on memory modification magic.
Even if Gilderoy Lockhart consciously reduces the frequency and input content, he still cannot completely eliminate the side effects of magic. Compared with the ideal final state of magic, today's memory inheritance is still in its earliest stages.
, trial and error phase.
Therefore, even if he went to Madam Pomfrey's school infirmary, other than mental weakness, nothing more could be found wrong.
In fact, Draco's current state has long been jointly examined by a series of top wizards such as Nico Flamel. The biggest problem mainly comes from Lockhart's subjective consciousness, this intrusion of other people's consciousness.
, inevitably triggering Draco's body to automatically resist.
According to Grindelwald, in terms of soul effects, forcibly implanting memories is very similar to the Imperius Curse.
This is like a "blood transfusion" treatment that occurs at the memory level. The basic "rejection reaction" is inevitable after all. Different magic frequencies and memory imprints are an inevitable state that cannot be avoided in the artificially implanted memory mode.
You can only rely on time to heal.
However, in Elena's expectation, future memory magic will obviously not adopt today's artificial model.
On the one hand, this will cause great subjective instability, and on the other hand, it will also greatly waste the energy of top wizards - wizards like Gilderoy Lockhart who are good at memory magic are difficult to find in the magic world.
There is still a lot of room for optimization in the "Initiation Mode" after the second one.
If nothing else, Draco should be the first and last participant in the "artificial initiation" experiment.
After several months of attempts and experiments, the senior management of "Tarot Club" found some optimization methods.
However, there are still some small differences between them for the time being...

"No, no - absolutely not, we will talk about this later..."
"No matter how you say it, it won't work. This is a matter of principle."
"I have said before, I am the principal of Hogwarts, and I will not agree to this matter under any circumstances."
"...It's useless for anyone to say anything, including you, Flamel. I said it decades ago!"
Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.
Dumbledore said firmly with a serious face, and there was no room for negotiation in his voice.
Not far behind the old wizard is a huge wooden table with claw-shaped corners. There is a shelf behind the table, with a shabby pointed wizard hat on it - this may be the oldest in the wizarding world.
It's a smart hat. Hogwarts is a famous and respected sorting hat.
On the other side of the principal's office, four or five wizards of various ages were making their eleventh attempt at persuasion.
"This is for Hogwarts. After a little research, it's not as serious as you think."
Elena patiently explained again, smiled kindly at the Sorting Hat, and continued speaking softly.
"You also know that sooner or later, the magic world will usher in the era of memory innovation. This is the path that education will definitely take. However, there are too many disadvantages in relying solely on artificial forms. The four founders more than a thousand years ago have given
Here’s the answer—intelligent, clever magic items.”
"As one of the students at Hogwarts, I promise not to damage the Sorting Hat during the research process. Just trust me for once."
"The Sorting Hat can read the thoughts of wizards, and it is gentle and has no aftereffects. It also has the ability to directly transmit thoughts into people's minds. This is only one step away from the effect we hope to achieve. If
The secret of the Sorting Hat can be cracked, and a batch of 'learning hats' with basic knowledge can be reproduced. In the magical world, oh no, human civilization will completely enter a new era..."
Following Elena's voice, the hat shivered and shrank inside again, seeming to be particularly scared.
"I've said it before, except for this point - I don't want the thousands of years of Hogwarts' branch heritage to be ruined in my hands."
"No, no way. Albus, even if you are worried about this little girl messing around, but we have known each other for so many years, don't you still believe in my ability and knowledge in this area? Beauxbatons has never
There is no such sorting hat, even after all these years..."
"Of course I understand you, Flamel! In fact, frankly speaking, you are the one I am most worried about!"
Dumbledore replied angrily, looking at the over 600-year-old alchemist, his eyes filled with vigilance.
You know, the Hogwarts Sorting Hat is almost recognized as the top alchemy product in the wizarding world.
As one of the greatest alchemists in the world today, Nico Flamel has been coveting the Sorting Hat for more than a day or two. If he just handed over the Sorting Hat like this, who knows what this alchemy madman would do to that poor hat?
The hat does something terrible.
There may be a high probability that nothing will happen, but what if an accident occurs?
For more than a thousand years, the Sorting Hat has been diligently sorting students according to their talents and qualities. This magic hat, which is infused with the ideas of the four founders, can be said to be the most important part of the Hogwarts house system. It even counts
Above is half of the Hogwarts symbol.
"Okay, it looks like there's no need to discuss it?"
Elena sighed helplessly and wrinkled her nose at Grindelwald, who was watching the show next to her.
Conversations like this have happened several times this week, but Dumbledore's attitude has always been very firm.
Whether it was speaking openly and honestly, or using the private emotional cards of Grindelwald, Flamel and others, Dumbledore was like a stone in a pit, firmly guarding the "no hat" policy.
The bottom line is that there is no sign of letting up.
"Deng, Professor Dumbledore, you won't hand me over, will you?"
Behind Dumbledore, the folds of the Sorting Hat seemed to be all wrinkled, looking like a wrinkled crying face.
Of course it knows what has happened in Hogwarts during this period, and also knows what devilish ideas the little witch has in her mind. The only thing it hates now is why it had to show off its wisdom so arrogantly in order to
As for now he is worried about that witch.
"Of course not, Sorting Hat, not as long as I am still the Headmaster of Hogwarts."
Dumbledore gently comforted the Sorting Hat and turned to look at Elena with a helpless expression.
"Don't scare the poor Sorting Hat. It's over a thousand years old. It would be fine if you had clear progress and plans, but now you are just stuck in your thinking. You haven't figured out the key to memory inheritance yet."
If it’s a critical link, don’t mess with it.”
"Okay, okay - then I won't push you about the Sorting Hat for now."
Elena shrugged, a hint of cunning flashed through her lake-blue eyes, and she took out a piece of parchment from her chest and shook it.
"Then let's talk about the werewolf concentration camp and the large-scale expansion of Auror recruitment? Of course, there is also the issue of Professor Umbridge's position as senior investigator... Your kindness is still as lacking in action as ever,
There is nothing we can do to prevent any harm from happening.”
