Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 308 Joey's Memories
In a comfortable environment and with a sense of ease, Li Wei voluntarily opened his mind.

He had complete trust in Qiao Weili, and apart from the most crucial memory about time travel, he had given him everything else—he would let the other party use it as needed for reference or observation.

However, as Jowellie explained beforehand, this is not a one-way memory retrieval, but a two-way selective emotional sharing led by Jowellie.

The magic flowed gently, carrying with it the memories and feelings associated with his specific emotions.

The first thing that comes through is intense joy.

This is followed by a scene showing Jovel successfully casting a complete spell for the first time.

That cautious focus, the smooth, effortless control of magic for the first time, and the exhilarating joy that exploded within him after success—this pure joy was like a key that unlocked Li Wei's memories.

He subconsciously recalled the joy he felt when he saw an owl carrying a letter and when he received his Hogwarts acceptance letter, confirming that this was indeed the magical world of Hogwarts.

It was a joy dozens of times stronger than being reborn into another world—and it gave a person who was lost in a foreign land a sense of belonging for the first time.

Li Wei still vividly remembers how he felt at that time.

However, some unpleasant things happened at school later, which changed his mind and gradually shrouded his initial joy in the dust of time.

Then, Li Wei felt a surge of intense excitement and anticipation.

Joe Willy shared his experiences during his youth, starting when he was eighteen, when he traveled around the world with Levi.

Through the emotions conveyed by his disciples and the flashbacks, the journey that Li Wei had once defined as a pure search for the origins of magic was given a new meaning.

The magical flashback phenomenon under the aurora, the whispered conversations of wizards from the past in ancient ruins, the hustle and bustle of a foreign magical market.
When these images were imbued with Joviri's nostalgia and joy, his re-examination of this memory revealed a completely different, warm glow.

Looking back now, he realizes that he was always focused on improving his magical abilities and didn't really appreciate the scenery along the way. Or rather, he saw the scenery as just another part of his own spiritual journey, and it had nothing to do with beauty.

But after being influenced by Joe Weili's emotions, Li Wei also began to genuinely feel that the journey was a time when he was truly happy and at peace, a time that filled him with strength even when he looked back on it.

Although this is somewhat interesting as it aligns with Li Wei's current thoughts, Li Wei has fully grasped the advantages of Jovelli's spell.

It doesn't tamper with memories and senses, but rather amplifies people's emotional experience through this shared model.

Compared to the evil magic of the Imperius Curse, which forcibly alters cognition, this spell is clearly a benign and gentle change.

At the very least, Li Wei is not opposed to this change.

This means that through this kind of magic, some unpleasant things in a wizard's memory can be changed to be treated with a positive mindset, thereby changing some of the fundamental thoughts in a person's heart.

Perhaps, it can even rekindle the motivation for life in the depressed—the weight of this memory is far more valuable than crudely using a forgetting spell to make people forget painful things.

Li Wei even thought of Dumbledore, Snape, and Sirius Black.

In fact, these three people also have their own pain in their hearts, and they are still dwelling on the sadness of the past, unwilling to cheer up, and treating the boring and complicated days as punishment for themselves.
In Levi's thinking, Jovili also tried to introduce some more complex emotions such as confusion, anxiety, and anger.

The effect was immediately greatly reduced.

Li Wei's emotions are naturally very calm, and he has an instinctive aversion to and filtering of such "impure" emotions.

Even if he opens himself up and takes the initiative to accept it, the intensity of the resonance is far less than before.

This exposes a key limitation of this magic—or rather, its application of laws:
Its effectiveness depends on the patient's own emotional inclinations and underlying thoughts.

To achieve successful resonance, one must pay attention to this aspect.

"Okay."

Sometime later, Levi opened his eyes again and nodded to Jovel, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration. "A fairly successful and high-level spell. Although it has its limitations, that's because the spell itself is not yet perfect, and it doesn't affect its amazing potential."

I think you mainly need to focus on three issues:
1. The degree and depth of resonance

Current sharing methods are too direct. You first show your emotions and corresponding memories, and the other person already has a preconceived notion. Then, if you ask them to recall the same emotions, it is easy to cause resistance.

Part Two: Preparations Before Resonance
This resonance requires the person under the spell to completely open their heart. Rather than simply relying on the power of magic, perhaps you can also create the necessary psychological environment before the magic begins.

Li Wei described the problems he noticed one by one, while Georges directed the quill and parchment to record everything he said.

“So, Professor—” George licked his lips nervously, “do you think this magic can help Carmel?”

Li Wei glanced at him, his eyebrows curving slightly, and said gently:
"I believe it will definitely have an effect—even if it's just a small change."

Moreover, like me, Camille trusts you completely. Although this magic is still in its early stages, I believe it will produce good results when used on her.

Especially since you are all my disciples, I imagine you will have many similar and identical feelings about learning magic, and your resonance will be even stronger.

so--"

Li Wei drew his conclusion.

"Instead of waiting until everything is finished before you start, I suggest you start your initial trial of Camille now."

"Okay—okay!"

Upon receiving Li Wei's affirmation, Qiao Weili's face lit up with a relieved smile.

But soon, that smile was replaced by the determination in his eyes.

"After I have done my preliminary research on the three directions you mentioned, Professor, could you bring this up then?"

I want you to do this.

“Me? Why?” Li Wei shook his head. “This is your intention, and I don’t want to take your place. Besides, as I said, in many things, you would actually be better at guiding than I am.”

Okay—alright—

"Don't worry—I'll be there too—and if you feel it's not good to talk to Camille about this, I'll say it for you."

"That would be perfect."

Joe Wei nodded, relieved.

Looking at his composed demeanor, Li Wei thought of the memories and feelings shared by Qiao Weili during the magic just now, and suddenly felt his throat was a little dry.

"Ahem—Joely—is there anywhere you'd like to go during summer vacation?"

"I--?"

Joey was stunned for a moment, then his face immediately turned red—his most touching memory was being experienced by his closest person, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

But soon, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he said softly:

"As long as the three of us are together, it doesn't matter where we go."
