Hearing Robert Bonham say that he was preparing to leave, Wizet immediately called out to him. "Mr. Bonham, if I want to continue improving the 'Soul Healing Technique,' what else do I need to do?"
Robert Bonham stopped in his tracks. "Improve the 'Soul Healing Technique'?"
Wizet nodded. "After submitting the patent application for the 'Soul Healing Technique,' I gained some further insights..."
"So I wrote them down... There haven't been many changes to its effects; the main thing is reducing the difficulty of casting the 'Soul Healing Technique.'"
"The difficulty of the 'Soul Healing Technique' can be reduced even further..." Robert Bonham swallowed hard, unable to keep himself from exclaiming again, "Merlin's beard!"
"Mr. Lovegood, just leave it to me! You won't need to worry about the rest... It would be no problem for me to visit you in person! I remember your summer holiday is about to begin..."
Lucius Malfoy, standing to one side, felt somewhat dazed. "Summer holiday is about to begin" and "recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class" simply did not seem to belong together.
Yet that was precisely what had happened: a student still in school had not only received the Order of Merlin, First Class, but had also invented an advanced healing spell for the soul.
Robert Bonham did not doubt Wizet's explanation. Instead, he worried about something else. "Mr. Lovegood, do you really intend to make the patent public?"
"Although, as the director of St. Mungo's, I shouldn't be saying this... your generosity truly makes me feel ashamed... I believe you understand what I mean."
"Actually..." Wizet explained, "the 'Soul Healing Technique' wasn't an invention created by me alone."
"There was another selfless inventor who did not wish to reveal their name... Mr. Bonham, I think you understand what I mean..."
