#150 - Memory recall usage

About halfway through the Quidditch match, Hagrid, with a large telescope around his neck, arrived in the stands.

"Couldn't see a thing from the hut. Excuse me, must say, that big flag of yours is quite the eyesore."

The Quidditch pitch was located between the castle and Hagrid's hut, but because the players were flying so high,

Hagrid could only see a small black dot from his dwelling.

Moon greeted Hagrid and continued watching the intense match.

Since the start of the school year, Ron had been suggesting that he become a Chaser, and today Moon truly witnessed the duties of a Chaser.

It was indeed similar to using a slingshot, except the slingshot's target was prey, while the Chaser's target was the opponent's goal when Moon was still observing how Angelina was going to shoot the ball into the goal.

Hagrid muttered something beside him that only a few people nearby could hear.

"If I didn't know Harry so well, I'd think he couldn't control his broom."

"No, there's something wrong with Harry's broom!"

Hermione, who had been beside him all along, was also paying attention to Harry.

After hearing Hagrid's words, she immediately grabbed the telescope and looked at the small black dot in the sky.

"Impossible, only dark magic can interfere with a broomstick."

Moon also noticed Harry's situation, but he knew Hagrid was right.

When learning how to make wands, Moon had studied the school's broomsticks.

These magical devices not only had spells cast on them to maintain flight and stability during production, but also had a large number of protective spells added to them.

A high safety factor was also a selling point that some broomstick companies vigorously promoted.

Hermione quickly locked onto a culprit who was very likely to be casting dark magic in the crowd.

She left the stands with her wand in hand, while Moon set his sights on the large bed sheet.

"Casting a Levitation Charm on the bed sheet should slow Harry's fall."

Moon wasn't sure who was casting the dark magic, but he knew his idea should be somewhat effective.

However, before Moon's idea could be put into practice, Harry had already caught the Golden Snitch with his excellent flying skills.

But he didn't use his hand, he used his mouth.

"I knew it was Snape."

Hermione returned from afar and told of the heroic deed she had just done,

Burning Snape's robes!

After the little witch finished speaking, Moon looked towards the staff table not far away.

The robes that usually fluttered elegantly whenever Snape walked quickly were missing a large chunk.

Snape now looked more like he was wearing two giant bat wings.

"Truly worthy of being called the Bat Professor."

Bat Professor was the nickname that the Gryffindor lions gave to Snape, who often liked to wear black.

Although they hadn't won the final match yet, today was the happiest day for all the Gryffindor lions.

In the eyes of most lions, defeating Slytherin was more joyful than winning the final.

After the match, Harry quickly ran to the stands, and everyone couldn't help but talk about the unexpected situation that had just occurred.

"It must have been Snape, I burned his robes, and then Harry's broom was fine."

"That's right, I noticed it too."

Ron's perception of Hermione could be said to have undergone a great change this time.

He used to think that this little witch should be a typical Ravenclaw.

But he didn't expect that her burning the professor's robes today was indeed like a little lion.

"I didn't dare to look, so I don't know."

Neville had covered his eyes in fear at the time, and he wasn't clear about the whole process.

Harry was still exceptionally excited at this time, but after hearing his friends' analysis, he also said what he had been suspecting for some time.

"It must be Snape who wants to steal the thing under the three-headed dog, and he was very strange in class yesterday."

Hagrid didn't know why Snape had become so strange, but he revealed the name of the dog and Nicolas Flamel in the lions' suspicion.

Back in the dormitory, the little lions were still discussing the question just now.

Moon was lost in thought all the way, or rather, he was reminiscing.

He was trying to use the memory retracing magic from yesterday to try to restore everything that happened in the noisy environment at that time.

When the little wizards argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion, they all looked at Moon, who had been very quiet.

"Moon, do you think it could be Snape? He must be going to steal Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone, right?"

Because Moon was studying alchemy this week, the little wizards also knew about Nicolas Flamel.

Of course, the Philosopher's Stone was also guessed along with it.

"I don't think it's very likely."

Moon rubbed his temples, the method of deep recollection he had just used was very energy-consuming.

"The chaos on the professor's seat caused by Hermione burning the robes was a bit big, several professors around were bumped into by Snape at the time."

"Are you saying it might not be Snape, but other professors?"

Hermione understood Moon's point, but she was still somewhat doubtful.

"That's right, but we can't rule out some older students either."

Although Hagrid said that some students wouldn't cast dark magic, Moon didn't think Hogwarts students would be so well-behaved.

"But that range is too big!"

Ron had never imagined that from initially suspecting Snape, they would now have so many suspects.

After speaking, Moon didn't continue the discussion with them, but picked up a quill and a piece of parchment and began to write.

"Severus Snape, Filius Flitwick, Charity Burbage, Silvanus Kettleburn, Irma Pince, Quirinus Quirrell."

After writing, Moon looked at everyone again.

"When Hermione was observing Harry with the telescope, I noticed that these 6 professors were all looking up at the sky.

Of course, there were also some seventh-year students, but I don't know their names."

After Moon finished speaking, he pushed the parchment to the middle of the group.

"Are that many professors trying to harm Harry? That's impossible."

Ron asked in disbelief.

"Wait, how did you do that! In such a noisy and chaotic environment, how could you clearly remember so many people's names and know who was looking up at the sky?"

Among the young wizards, Hermione was often the one who could accurately grasp the crux of the problem.

"This is a memory-related magic from my latest experiment; I didn't expect it to be useful today."

Moon was also a little surprised now; he had only conducted an experiment on his own brain, but he hadn't expected to develop such a use for it.

Moon's previous memory could only remember things he had learned or personally experienced.

But now, this memory retrieval magic could help him recall things that happened in the past, even if he wasn't personally involved, as long as he was nearby.

"Your ability is too..."

Hermione couldn't find another word to describe it because it was something completely new to her.

The other young wizards couldn't understand how powerful Moon's ability was; they even found it a little incomprehensible.

However, they were very interested in the note that Moon had written.

"Are all these professors suspects? How should we investigate?"

After Ron glanced at the contents of the list, he threw the parchment back on the table, feeling troubled again.

He really didn't like thinking about these things.

"Actually, we can do some elimination."

Moon took the parchment again, picked up the quill, and started drawing on it.

"After Hermione set Snape's robes on fire, Professor Flitwick reached out to help Snape, and Professor Burbage慌乱 moved out of the way."

"Professor Kettleburn's prosthetic leg tripped Snape, causing him to bump into Quirrell."

"As for Madam Pince, she seemed to dislike Snape for some reason and avoided him after seeing him."

After Moon sorted out the actions and expressions of the professors at the time, he put down the quill again.

"You've completely reconstructed the scene!"

Hermione was even more surprised; she originally thought it was amazing that Moon could remember which professors looked up at the sky.

But now, even trivial things like the professor's prosthetic leg and Madam Pince's dislike of Snape had all been reproduced.

This made Hermione a little restless.

"You should become a detective, really, Moon."

After Moon sorted out everything about the professors, Harry realized how powerful Moon's ability was.

"That's right, Moon, if you used this ability to become a magical detective, it would definitely work!"

Ron had never seen such a strange magic, but he had heard many stories of magical detectives.

The detective protagonists in the stories were far from being able to do what Moon could do.

"Don't say that; the reason I was able to reconstruct this event is because I was at the scene, but if I were to be a magical detective, I don't think it would be so easy."

Moon had never thought of becoming a magical detective to help solve cases; he only wanted to learn more magical knowledge now.

Of course, his current memory retrieval magic was only a prototype.

If it could continue to evolve and grow, it might really be more powerful than those magical detectives.

Unlike the young wizards who had been guessing all along, Moon's magic was completely based on real situations.

However, although this result was real, it also made it impossible for the young wizards to determine who the real culprit was.

Moon was also thinking, after removing Madam Pince from the original list of six, there were only five professors left.

The only ones Moon knew well were Snape, Flitwick, and Quirrell.

Of the remaining two professors, one taught Care of Magical Creatures, and the other taught Muggle Studies.

These were all elective courses for third-year students.

Moon didn't know if any of them had conflicts with Harry, but he was sure that Snape wasn't the culprit.

Because he knew very well where the "weirdness" the young wizards spoke of regarding Snape came from.

After Moon agreed to give Snape the potion, he had suggested that he be less harsh on Harry.

At that time, the Potions professor's reaction was very strong, and Moon had also obtained a lot of useful information from his words.

Professor Snape should have had a very good relationship with Harry's mother.

Those deliberate difficulties in class were only to allow Harry to inherit his mother's Potions talent.

It was just that he used a more intense method.
