"Fidelius Charm... now that's an interesting spell. Even I can be deceived by it."
As he looked at the buildings in front of Grimmauld Place, Hawking suddenly became interested in Dumbledore's Fidelius Charm.
This was a spell Dumbledore had created himself. Even Voldemort did not know it, so naturally, neither did he.
He only knew the Muggle Repelling Charm.
But compared to the Muggle Repelling Charm, the Fidelius Charm was far more powerful.
The Muggle Repelling Charm mainly repelled Muggles. It could guide their thoughts and prevent them from seeing the concealed place.
However, as long as someone pointed it out clearly, the concealing effect would vanish.
In Hawking's eyes, it was like psychological suggestion. Muggles had no magic and weak mental strength, making them easy to affect.
Even if someone was not a wizard, as long as their mental strength was powerful enough, they could ignore the effects of the Muggle Repelling Charm.
The Fidelius Charm was different. Hawking felt that its effects already bore traces of rules.
Other than the Secret-Keeper and those told by the Secret-Keeper, no matter whether one was a wizard, how powerful one was, or how close one stood to the concealed location—even if it was right before one's eyes—one would never be able to discover it.
Just like Grimmauld Place No. 12. It stood between No. 11 and No. 13, yet the Muggles living on either side simply could not see No. 12.
They would not even find it strange that No. 11 was followed by No. 13, no matter how contrary to common sense that was.
This spell had already altered their fundamental cognition.
Moreover, everyone standing in Grimmauld Place had the same impression when looking toward No. 12. They could not see its existence, nor would they think there was anything
