Memories, the unconscious thoughts and desires everyone had...that was some DEEP stuff. Far beyond the comprehension of a third year in her opinion.

But...

"I used to work heavily with charms, and may have some background information...if you care to elaborate on what you're exactly looking for," she added with an eyebrow raise.


Complex magic? Ash hadn’t even been thinking about magic... but now she had an idea. She zoned out for a few seconds, but she was pretty sure Recard was talking about how complicated everything was and how nobody at the school knew about memories. Something about that. Interesting.

She fiddled with the bracelets on her right arm- a sign of nervousness for her. First question. ”Is there any way to like... make memories fuzzy and out of focus? Not like fully obliviating someone, just making their memories less intense.” Because that would be super useful. And Ash found it hard to believe that the Wizarding world knew how to wipe someone’s memories against their will, but didn’t know how to let a willing person have a slightly worse memory. Then again, the Wizarding world was confusing like that. There were transfiguration spells for the weirdest things, but nobody ever had the exact thing they needed. People could read minds, but everyone seemed to be a terrible judge of character. See? Confusing.

She tilted her head. Memories were all confusing, or at least that was what Recard said. Well, Ash would understand it. She HAD TO. If there was any complicated topic she needed to understand, it would be memory. Followed by dreams. Then the unforgivables. Then patronuses. Then evanesco. Then Wizarding law... actually there were a lot of things she needed to understand. But memories were the most important. The most important. Probably.
