In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 226: Memory

"Can you tell what this vial of potion is? Professor Johnson."

Sir Stoker asked with a serious look on his face.

Jon is not that specialized in potions, and for a moment he could not think of any potion that is silver.

But the gem of the ring contains more than half of the entire Hogwarts library collection of forbidden books, as long as this potion is not some private and exclusive recipe, then it is highly probable to find clues in those forbidden books on potions.

He weighed his words.

"I have some superficial understanding of potions, but you should know Sir, that there are too many types available for something like potions, the amount is quite large and varied, and at the moment I can't think of any potions that correspond to it. But as long as the potion is still available, we can slowly study it and find out its effects."

Sir Stoker nodded.

"That's right, I also have some books on potions in my study, all left behind by my family and collected when I was on the land before, we can use these materials to study it."

It is not clear whether his words were intentional or unintentional, but they have blocked off the words of Jon who originally wanted to take the silver potion away and figure out exactly what it is in private by himself.

Jon preferred that he was intentional, although Sir Stoker is simple but not to the point of naivety, he certainly will not trust Jon unconditionally, and this time it should be to guard against him.

And he has actually shown enough trust, not directly taking the potion away, but rather expressing his desire to work with Jon to study what kind of effect this vial of potion actually has.

This method is considered a sort that Jon can accept, after all, he has already got the pact signed with Voldemort's real name in advance, and he has a feeling that the biggest problem should be in the pact.

Not many people on the ship know French, the good thing is that Hermione had taught herself French for a while, and now she is also in the tower, there is no need for her to translate all the contents of the pact, as long as they can tell a general meaning it is enough.

Jon and Sir Stoker did not continue to stay at the top of the tower, they took the silver potion back to the study.

The vast majority of books in the study are indeed associated with astronomy, but there are also some books related to magic spells and potions.

But Jon just looked at the cover of these books that can be seen, which are basically ordinary potion books that can be bought in the outside world, books and knowledge that slightly involves deviant or taboo potions are not recorded here.

Therefore, Jon's attention was not focused on the potion books that Sir Stoker took out, he was staring at the vial of potion placed in the middle of the desk, constantly searching the forbidden books on potions in the ring.

Potions with silver colour are very rare, even if all the forbidden books about potions were quickly browsed, Jon could only find four or five kinds.

And the characteristics described in these several potions are very different from the vial in front of him.

There is indeed a liquid stored in the glass vial, but the silver colour is like smoke floating around, giving a feeling like a dream.

Sir Stoker naturally could not find any results from these common potion books, he frowned deeply and opened his mouth to propose.

"How about we open the vial, part out a few drops of the potion, and find something to experiment with its effect?"

There is nothing wrong with this proposal, in the absence of a way to find the exact information of the potion, they can only start by trying to deduce its effect through experiments.

"I'll do it, after all, I have experience in preparing potions, and it's safer for me to do it."

To be safe, Jon took the initiative to take this job upon himself, to which Sir Stoker also nodded in agreement.

He took the glass vial, and then carefully opened the cork.

And just after Jon opened the vial, the liquid in the glass vial, the original free silver smoke suddenly flew out of it!

The smoke broke away from the liquid and coalesced into a silver thread in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, then rushed towards Sir Stoker's head with a clear target!

Jon reacted extremely quickly at the beginning of this mutation and pulled out his wand, and when the silver smoke flew out, he did not hesitate to cast a spell at himself and Sir Stoker's body.

"Protego Maxima!"

A variation of the shield charm, which could protect an area instead of a single individual.

However, after the silver thread coalesced into shape and rushed towards Sir Stoker's head, a terrible feeling suddenly rose up in Jon's heart!

Before this thing has been kept in the liquid, Jon's inherent impression is that it can only be stored in the Pensieve, so his thought has never headed in that direction.

But now, he finally recognized what this is!

This is nothing to do with the potion at all, but rather a wisp of memory!

A wisp of memory drawn from Sir Stoker's mind!

The shield charm is intended to resist the spell, so of course it can't prevent the memory from returning to its owner's mind.

The wisp of silver smoothly rushed into Sir Stoker's mind, and in that instant, Sir's gaze showed a blank look.

Jon quickly distanced himself from Sir Stoker, but instead of rashly aiming his wand at Sir, who had worked with him on examining what the vial of potion was, he held his breath and asked with unparalleled seriousness.

"It is a memory, isn't it, Sir Stoker?"

The bewilderment in Sir Stoker's eyes didn't last long, and soon his face turned a little grim, then from grim, it turned into thoughtfulness, before finally meeting Jon's gaze calmly as he said with a smile.

"Why are you suddenly so nervous, Professor Johnson, it's just an ordinary memory, I'm still me, it won't turn me into a different person."

Jon did not relax his body which was tensed up at the moment, only that the look on his face was not growing that serious either.

"Yes, memories don't change a person in most cases, but since the memories in the vial are yours, Sir, does that mean that you put that slab up there? Only that you forgot about it?"

Sir Stoker, who really didn't seem to have changed much in personality from before he got that memory back, raised an eyebrow and said politely.

"This memory, how I put it there is a bit of a personal thing that involves me, so I'm sorry I can't answer that for you, Professor Johnson. But that doesn't stop me from thanking you, I really appreciate your help to me, if you need anything you can just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help."

Jon did not speak for a while, he looked into Sir Stoker's eyes, and the atmosphere stayed quiet for half a minute.
