After studying the Poison Apple, her greatest gain was that her mastery of the Sleeping Spell had reached a new level.
The Sleeping Spell was different from ‘Stupefy’ that appeared in the original work.
The effect of ‘Stupefy’ was to forcibly knock a person unconscious and then cause them to lose consciousness.
As for the Sleeping Spell, its incantation was ‘Fast Asleep’, and its effect was much milder.
Theoretically speaking, it could even be considered a kind of therapeutic Charms, widely used in treatments at St. Mungos.
She had found this Charms in the books at home.
Speaking of which, with Narcissa’s enrollment, the disguise of the family study was also removed, and she got to see the true appearance of the study in a real sense.
The original study Chamber of Secrets was actually just a part of the bookshelves shielded with magic and artificially shaped.
And those bookshelves held one of the true foundations of the House of Black.
There were many unknown secrets on it, as well as some rare Charms and Potion recipes, which opened her eyes.
Although not as comprehensive as the books at Hogwarts, it also had its unique merits.
The Sleeping Spell was originally developed by a man from a Wizard family who was impatient with the noise of children.
At first, he just wanted to enjoy some quiet private time, not expecting that it would later be used to treat problems like insomnia.
After getting her hands on this simple Charms, Bellatrix quickly got the hang of it, and then as her experiments continued…
Her mastery of this Charms underwent a qualitative change.
In her hands, this Charms could not only put people to sleep, but she could also control the time people slept.
By her estimation, she could even manage to make someone sleep deeply for more than a month.
This was indeed a very covert method.
After all, even if checked with Charms, it could only be found out that they were asleep.
However, for Bellatrix, this function did not have much use.
Instead, it was another function that surprised her.
While using this Charms, she had a sudden brainstorm: if people were sleeping normally, could she control others’ dreams?
It was also at this time that she met Gilderoy because of Andy.
With a casual remark from him, she got an idea.
“The Handmaiden Bellatrix, you also think memory is a very interesting thing, right? Perhaps it is real, or perhaps it is fake. No one truly understands your memory. If one could willfully play with memories, what difference would that make from God?”
As he spoke, his eyes were shining with starlight, and his enthusiasm was simply outrageous.
Bellatrix also didn’t understand.
Just now they were only talking about the magic of dreams, and then she didn’t know how it turned into the taboo field of memory.
And Gilderoy was not a fancy-pillow like in the original work; on the contrary, he was a qualified Ravenclaw with quite a bit of talent in the field of memory.
But his fanaticism at this moment still made her somewhat vigilant.
His appearance in the original work seemed not just a disguise; many memories were mixed together in his brain, which then affected his casting ability.
The genius who played with memories was ultimately played by memories instead.
It was truly a very ironic drama.
However, his words did give her an idea.
If, while casting the Sleeping Spell, a part of constructed memories was put into the spell target’s head, would they dream, and would she thus control the target’s dream?
Therefore, when she was relaxing, she started such an experiment.
She injected a false memory of being toyed with by a cat into a mouse’s brain at the same time.
Seeing this, the little mouse was still constantly twitching its little feet in its sleep.
After a short few minutes, it stopped moving.
Upon checking, it was found that the little mouse was scared to death alive.
Later, she injected a Room with a large amount of food as false memory into another mouse’s head.
Not long after, the mouse chewed the air and constantly swallowed something.
What surprised her most was that creatures asleep using this Charms were difficult to wake up physically, unless the dream ended or the effect of the Charms disappeared.
Of course, she also discovered that this method of controlling dreams worked better on lower-level creatures.
She had tried it on some higher-level magic creatures; the more complex the dream, the harder it was to take effect.
Instead, just one or two simple images would expand into a complete dream in their minds.
She simply injected two key cores—Lord Voldemort and punishment—into his brain, and then he kept twitching in his dream, and then suffered urinary incontinence.
When Bellatrix saw that scene, she also understood that Lord Voldemort already had a great reputation in Britain nowadays.
Although not in a good aspect.
Yes, the slogan currently established by Lord Voldemort was “Maintain pure-bloodlines, protect the purity of Wizards.”
Although not as radical as in the future, for wandering half-blood Wizards at the bottom, it also carried quite a bit of terrorism.
His external image was not as gentle as Dumbledore’s from the very beginning.
And thanks to Lord Voldemort’s terrifying image, as long as Bellatrix wanted to make someone fall into a nightmare, she just needed to inject memories related to Lord Voldemort.
After mastering this Charms—no, should be after improving this Charms—Bellatrix felt that her magic level had a qualitative improvement.
She seemed to begin to understand what so-called effortless mastery was like.
Then she began to be able to put emotions into Charms or Potion.
When she was happy, the power of buff-type Charms increased a lot; while when she was depressed, some debuff-type Charms could exert miraculous effects; and when she held a certain strong malice, the weirdness of the Dark Arts became even more unpredictable.
She seemed to have started stepping onto the path of mastering magic.
When she generated this cognition, she was very excited.
Having awakened her past-life memories for more than 4 years, she felt as if she had finally become a player of this world, and had finally completely integrated into this world.
She was no longer nervous either.
Yes, she had always been very anxious before.
Knowing her own ending and knowing the fate of the House of Black kept her in a very urgent state of tension all along.
She dared not slack off, immersed in the world of magic, just expecting to find a way to save herself.
Fortunately, heaven does not disappoint those who try; when she advanced to the 5th grade, she finally saw the dawn of solving the problem.
Although Dumbledore’s prying into her became more and more frequent;
Although Lord Voldemort’s emotions became more and more unstable;
Although…
However, after mastering this seemingly inconspicuous Charms, she finally felt her own power.
The power to change destiny.
