Disreputable Wizard

Wizet listened quietly to get a sense of what Dumbledore and Malo Fufang were talking about.

Damocles Belby is also a Potions, and according to the Daily Prophet, he recently received a Order of Merlin for inventing the Wolfsbane Potion.

Malo Fufang is an authority on Werewolf research, and can even be called the first of his kind;

He disregarded his own safety and spent a long time with Werewolf, conducting comprehensive research on Werewolf habits and summarizing many related theories.

Damocles Belby make a special trip to thank Malo Fufang., indicating that Malo Fufang. contributed a great deal of valuable information.

Malo Fufang chatted with Dumbledore for a while, then turned the conversation to Wizet.

"Albus, no one should be coming, right?" Malo Fufang turned to look at the door, took a sip of tea, and asked, "The person who can help restore memories..."

"Could it be Wizet? It's not that I don't trust your judgment, it's just that he's too young! I've actually looked for quite a few Potions before, including Damocles..."

"Marlowe, I understand you. It's normal to have this thought." Dumbledore nodded gently. "But you should at least give it a try."

He pushed a piece of blueberry cake toward Malo Fufang and poured Wizet some tea. "Wizet, tell us in detail... about this Altom ... which book is he the protagonist of?"

"Could you explain in more detail?" Wizet blinked, taking the time to organize her thoughts while drinking tea.

"When I was in the room just now, I heard a 'clinking' sound coming from outside the door. I guess it was the sound of coins... and Bronze Knut at that."

"When Mr. Avakian looks around and speaks to you, he always mentions a key word: 'bargaining chips'..."

"In ' 《Wanderings with Werewolves》,' 'chips' is a word that appears frequently, so he should be the protagonist of this book."

"Of course, there's an even simpler way to tell," he said, changing the subject. "I know Professor Fufang is an authority on Werewolf research."

"The Daily Prophet once published a report about Mr. Belby, who was able to win the award because he invented the Wolfsbane Potion."

"With two elements related to Werewolf added together, it seems that Mr. Avakian... should also be related to Werewolf, so he can reach the same conclusion."

The opening plot of "《Wanderings with Werewolves》" can actually connect to the story of "Voyages with Vampires".

After sending the Vampire back to his hometown, the protagonist wins the favor of the Vampire's sister. To avoid being bound by marriage, the protagonist abandons his luggage and leaves the manor with only a few Bronze Knut in his pocket.

After leaving the manor, the protagonist hides in a village where Dark Wizard gather, using a few Bronze Knut as chips to try and win big, gradually making a name for himself, inevitably attracting the attention of the Dark Wizard behind the scenes.

The true identity of the Dark Wizard behind the scenes is a Werewolf. On the night of the full moon, the protagonist casts Human-Shaped Restoration Spell the Werewolf's human form, and the werewolf follows the protagonist away from the village, embarking on a life of wandering together.

The term "chips" is mentioned only in the protagonist's victory declaration after winning:

"All the magic I possess is a stake for betting on success or failure. I have far too many stakes, so you absolutely cannot beat me!"

"Chips... those are valuable items." Altom Avakian had been standing the whole time, seemed to finally come to his senses and plopped down in his seat.

"Marlow, how are you feeling now?" Dumbledore asked Malo Fufang. "Actually, what I'm trying to say is... he's quite familiar with Lockhart and has learned some tricks of the trade."

Malo Fufang suddenly realized, "You mean... that Obliviation Charm that even you can't break?"

Before Dumbledore could speak, Altom Avakian excitedly interjected, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's give it a try!"

"Without the Baruffio's Brain Elixir, I'd be like a madman every day... I might as well take a gamble! Even if I only have one chip, it's still an opportunity!"

"Since the parties involved have no objections..." Dumbledore gave a helpless smile, "Wizet, why don't you give it a try!"

"Alright!" Wizet looked at Altom Avakian. "Mr. Avakian, do you think the sense of accomplishment after winning chips is your favorite emotion?"

Altom Avakian raised his eyebrows, beaming, "Of course! Especially when you're betting big! It feels like... like drinking a whole pot of Mandrake leaf tea!"

Wizet coughed lightly, nodded, and said, "Understood! A sense of accomplishment... then I'll begin!"

He raised his wand, pressed it against Altom Avakian's temple, and chanted the incantation to Counter-Curse Obliviation Charm, "Suspended Incantation!"

As Wizet's understanding of Mental Magic deepened, his spellcasting became increasingly proficient. He then set about using a sense of accomplishment as a "fulcrum" to restore Altom Avakian's memories.

To his surprise, there was no memory of being affected by the Obliviation Charm in Altom Avakian's memory.

Wizet opened her eyes and truthfully recounted what had just happened, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I couldn't find any related memories... I'm afraid the memories are with Lockhart."

Dumbledore nodded gently and said in a mild tone, "You've worked hard, but it's not entirely unexpected."

Malo Fufang shrugged and sighed somewhat helplessly.

Altom Avakian spat. "Looks like we've lost... That bastard is really cunning!"

"Actually, I have another question in my mind..." Wizet looked at the three people in front of him, "Mr. Fufang, since you are familiar with Belby, why can't you ask him for some ideas?"

"In that case, perhaps we can bring charges against Professor Lockhart without restoring Mr. Avakian... or at least the Ministry of Magic will investigate, right?"

Malo Fufang wore a wry smile, hesitated, and said, "This..."

"The problem mainly lies with me," Altom Avakian shrugged. "Actually, I'm not exactly a good person..."

"The reason I bother with Dark Wizard or dangerous Magical creature is mainly because the reward is high... Actually, my hobby is..."

He pulled a handful of Bronze Knut from his pocket. "High risk, high reward! That's why I love using Bronze Knut... Even though it's worth very little, having a huge pile of it makes a big impression!"

"Because of this peculiar hobby, no one is willing to testify. I also have some criminal records in Armenia. Without real memories, no one will believe me."

"That's how it is..." Malo Fufang shrugged. "Gilderoy Lockhart is clever; he specifically targets these kinds of...not-so-honorable wizards, which is why he's hard to detect."
