Chapter 346: “Everything Has Memories”

Seeing this, Sean didn’t understand about it at all.

Sean doesn’t know the working principle of the Pensieve, but one thing is certain: the Pensieve performs a function similar to “mapping” and “awakening” a certain part of memory.

Generally speaking, after a wizard extracts the memory. He will not lose this part of the memory directly in his mind. The magic spell used to extract the memory has the property of copying memories.

In other words, when you extract this memory, the magic spell copies a memory at that time. The reason why people take out their memories and use the Pensieve is to recount the details that they have not noticed in their memory before.

The human brain can comprehensively recall past events, but people’s ability to recall is limited or even disordered. Just like when Sean checked Stephanie’s memory just now, other memories are blurry and broken except for those deep memories.

The combination of memory spell and Pensieve helps you remember the details hidden in the subconscious memory node.

For example, you met a very beautiful girl today, you remember her face, the color of her hair, the color of her eyes, the book “The Wizard Sonnet” she was holding, she was wearing a uniform, the words she said to you with a smile, and the size of her chest. But you probably don’t remember how many steps she took when she greeted you and disappeared around the corner.

Your eyes see it, and your brain responds, but you don’t remember it. The memory extraction spell and the Pensieve are designed to help you retrieve these small details.

In this case, one Pensieve is definitely enough because the function of the Pensieve is to retell the memories, and the displayed memories will also be stored. A wizard basically only has one Pensieve in his whole life. One is because of privacy reasons, and the other is that one Pensieve is enough.

Here comes a question: why do you need multiple Pensieves? This is not like opening a dozen web pages at the same time, and you can switch back and forth at will.

With such doubts in mind, Sean read on carefully.

“As mentioned above, as a mysterious item, the Pensieve can fully meet the needs of wizards to check the details of their memories. Of course, anyone who has something to hide feels ashamed of the past, desires to keep a secret, or anything, can use the Pensieve.”

“So, when I made a Pensieve, I often engrave some unique marks on it for its future owner. I always think it is enough for a wizard to have one Pensieve in his life; those who do not take care of their Pensieves and damage them don’t deserve a second one either. My idea is that every wizard can only buy one Pensieve from me.”

“However, a unique visitor made an exception for me. He told me that the Pensieve he bought from me five years ago was not working properly and could not access the memory.”

“I originally wanted to drive away this person. I have been making Pensieves for sixty years. As long as the owners take good care of them, my product is still good even until the owner’s dead.”

“But in the end, I held back my anger and accepted him because he offered me something.”

“I checked the Pensieve, and it turned out as expected. How could something go wrong with it? It’s as delicate and reliable as every Pensieve I’ve ever made.”

“But in the end, I found out that that person didn’t lie to me either.”

“He pulled out a memory that the Pensieve couldn’t contain.”

“The Pensieve I made can’t restore a single memory.”

“All the problems lie in that memory, which is bigger than I imagined, and the memory is inseparable after being extracted. Yes, a Pensieve cannot hold this extremely huge memory. “

“It was a shock to me, but as a Pensieve maker, I don’t allow unreadable memories. It took a lot of effort to find a solution.”

“I created a new spell, and as long as I use runes to deconstruct and reconnect the magic, I can make multiple Pensieves work at the same time.”

“The problem was solved, and the customer told me the truth after entering the memory.”

“That memory is not a fragment of a memory. It is a person’s life.”

“Someone pulled out the memories of their entire life, decades or even hundreds of years of memories were pulled out. One Pensieve simply cannot accommodate so many memories.”

“How can a Pensive be rivaled by a lifetime memory?”

“But I don’t understand why the person who extracted the memory did this. Extracting all the memories and extracting fragments of it is not the same at all.”

“In my understanding, extracting memory is a lengthy process. We must respect the concept of time as well. Once you extract it, If you have too many memories and the duration of the memory fragment is too long, your original memories will start to blur or even be lost.”

“The person who did it, I suspect that he has died, and his grave is as empty as a newborn baby just came into this world.”

“His friends, lovers, and enemies will remember him. But this person’s memory of himself has been completely blurred.”

“This individual has personally erased the path he has traveled in this world so that the world will forget his existence.”

“It is unreasonable.”

Sean saw the shock and puzzlement in this passage, and the Pensieve maker finally believed that this kind of huge memory that extracted his entire life was unreasonable.

Putting down the manuscript, Sean looked at Stephanie, “Do you suspect that Professor Dumbledore is looking at an extremely large memory?”

She nodded, “I saw a memory bottle in his pocket that was larger than the normal size. The memory silver strands inside were brighter and thicker than ordinary memory strands. I theorized that it was an extremely large memory bottle, and he needs multiple Pensieves to read this memory.”

Sean stroked his chin and agreed, “It’s true. Do you think that Professor Dumbledore discovered something after reading this memory and carried out a long-distance time travel?”

Stephanie lowered her eyes, crossed her hands in front of her belly, and tapped her left hand on the back of her right hand, which she seemed to enjoy doing when she was thinking.

“I can’t be sure, but the time between the two events is too short. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Someone must have carried out long-distance time travel. Professor Dumbledore may be the person behind it. Even if not, he has something to do with this incident.”

Sean immediately thought of what Grindelwald had said to him. Dumbledore is setting up something, something huge that no one knows about. Sean wasn’t worried that Dumbledore would suddenly turn around the world; he was just worried about one thing. How far will he go for his plan even if things are going to be completely chaotic?

He doesn’t know what Dumbledore wants to do. Does he want to deal with the things in his body? Solve the ancient one pulling the strings behind the scenes? Or is it some other more ambitious goal?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

On the opposite side, Stephanie still lowered her head but peeked at the Pensive Sean through the gap. There was a trace of entanglement and hesitation in the girl’s eyes. She was considering whether to tell Sean.

She thought that Dumbledore knew that she was nearby, and those words were said to herself on purpose. He knew that she was a spy placed by Grindelwald in Hogwarts, so she wanted to tell Grindelwald about this news through his own mouth.

Stephanie sighed in her heart. She didn’t know whether she should contact Grindelwald because of that bold guess, and she wanted to tell Sean these things.

She doesn’t want to lose Sean’s trust again, but Grindelwald strictly forbids her from saying these things. She felt that her heart was in a mess, but all the words could only be held in her heart.

Sean finished thinking and looked at Stephanie. She seemed a little dull since her memory was checked.

However, the relationship between the two was not to the point where they could talk freely. Sean coughed lightly, waking up Stephanie.

“Thank you for your message.”

Stephanie reacted and quickly returned to that cold look, “No, I’m the one who should say thank you.”

Sean smiled, “Don’t worry about it.”

That said, it is unrealistic for Sean to forget what happened before. On the other side, Stephanie also thought of the scene when she broke down emotionally. Her face did not fluctuate in any way, but there was a slight blush behind her ears.

“What are you going to do with the Ravenclaw’s authority later?” Stephanie changed the subject.

“Didn’t you find it first?” Sean said suspiciously.

Ravenclaw had left the method of gaining authority in there, so Stephanie must have known. However, her talent in runes should not be bad.

Stephanie looked at him, “I know, but it’s useless to me. So, I didn’t choose to grab it. When you have a better grasp of the runes, or you find the diadem, you can claim it.”

Sean was quite surprised by her words; this is a quarter of Hogwart’s authority.

“Um, there is no need…” Although he wants Hogwarts’ authority, Sean is not greedy.

However, Stephanie’s determination was beyond his expectations.

“I’m serious. The current authority of the Room of Requirement is enough for me. And on top of that,” she said, looking directly at him with flat eyes, “You are the one to blame. However, I don’t know the specific use of this authority, but it’s at least something for you. If it is used well, it’s good for everyone else.”

“All in all, whether it’s the most efficient use of resources or my apologetic selfishness, I think this decision is correct.” Stephanie concluded.

Sean was moved.

“I see, thank you. I owe you a favor.” Sean said frankly.

“No, you saved my life. We’re even.” Stephanie said.

Sean finally spread his hands helplessly, “Very well then.”

Hearing Sean’s words, Stephanie looked a lot happier, she was relieved, and her voice became more lively.

“Wallup, If you need it, I can help you find some information on runes. I have been reading books here for a long time. Ms. Ravenclaw has done extensive research on ancient runes.”

Sean nodded, “I need that very much. Also, if you don’t mind, just call me Sean.”

Stephanie froze for a moment and nodded quickly as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word.

“Okay, Sean.”

Sean sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that there were some psychological hints in Stephanie’s mind. In the past, she would not have acted like this.

Their relationship has eased, and he learned a lot of things. There will be people to help him find information in the future.

Sean waved his hand, “I’m leaving first. I’ll go to the professors to ask about the situation. If you have any news, please contact me at any time. You can call me if you need help.”

“Alright then.” Stephanie didn’t hold back but watched him walk towards the door.

When Sean walked to the door and was about to open the door, she shouted behind him.

“See you next time, Sean.”

Sean turned his head and said, “Goodbye, Stephanie.”

When Sean left, Stephanie couldn’t maintain the expression on her face. She jumped onto her bed like a little girl and couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

Stephanie rolled on the bed for a while, and when she sat up straight, her expression finally returned to her usual coldness.

She straightened her clothes and took out a small mirror. The mirror did not reflect her face but was pitch black.
