Chapter 18: Hidden code of conduct

"Mr. Dumbledore, I recalled you just said that this spell has the miraculous effect of repairing the soul?!"

Dean Bonham asked quickly, as if she did not expect this spell had a more significant meaning.

"Regarding this, actually neither me nor Flamel immediately discovered the use of [Soul Healing Spell] at the time. It was only until Qin Feng gave this name that I realized it."

Dumbledore stroked his beard with a smile and continued to explain unhurriedly.

"[Soul Healing Spell]'s original use was to free a person from the control effect of imperius curse, and allow them to recover quickly with an additional benefit of immunity towards imperius for life after their recovery. However, this effect is actually the side benefit. [Soul Healing Spell] actually has therapeutic effects on various kinds of soul injury. Which was why I brought him here to check on Frank and Alice. Now it seems that my choice was correct. Qin Feng, what do you need me to do next?"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he turned his questioning eyes to Maple.

"Based on the current situation, I may indeed need your help, old man."

Maple rubbed his chin and formulated the next treatment plan.

"Because the Longbottoms' injuries have been delayed for too long, [Soul Healing Spell] casted by me may not be enough to cure them completely, this is where I need your help old man. Later, I will cast the [Soul Healing Spell] to set a framework and guide their souls to heal in the right direction. Then, old man, you will cast [Soul Healing Spell] once with all your strength. With your huge magic power, it should be completely enough to support their complete recovery."

After saying that, Maple suddenly remembered something, paused briefly, then looked at the old woman who seemed to have been relieved of a huge burden, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

"Well… Mrs. Longbottom, the treatment plan now is almost certain. I believe you will be able to see their spirit return to normal soon. However, for the sake of their future recovery, I have a little suggestion I hope you and little Neville will consider."

Upon hearing Qin Feng's inquiry, Mrs. Longbottom agreed quickly, her tone extremely firm, as if she would risk her life in the next moment.

"Please speak, Mr. Qin. As long as Frank and Alice can recover faster, you need not worry about me, this old lady with a leg already in a coffin."

"Me too, uncle Qin, what do you need me to do?"

Seeing his grandmother's reaction, Neville mustered his courage and followed in her footsteps.

"Uh… Mrs. Longbottom, you may have misunderstood me."

Seeing the identical reactions of the grandmother and grandson, Maple glared angrily at the old man watching the show by the side and gave his real advice.

"My idea is that before I start the treatment, I would like to first cast the [Soul Healing Spell] on Neville. Firstly, you can have a more practical understanding of the spell effect. Secondly, Neville will also be cured from the malady of the Obliviate Curse. Thirdly, after the Longbottoms regain their consciousness, seeing their healthy children will also be of great benefit to their recovery."

"Oh, Merlin's beard!"

Mrs. Longbottom's lips moved, she had not been so happy and moved as today for so long. Even if someone informed her that Qin Feng had some personal demands, she felt that it did not matter, since she would never be able to forget this debt of gratitude.

"Mr. Qin, you are too generous, on behalf of the Longbottoms, I would like to express our gratitude to you!"

"You don't have to be so polite, Mrs. Longbottom. I am satisfied to receive your thank you. Neville, are you ready?"

"Anytime! Mister!"

"It's okay, Neville, you just need to do as I say, and leave the rest to me."

"Alright, now follow my instructions… Now, close your eyes… correct, take a deep breath, breathe in…breathe out…that's right, repeat this action, very good…you now feel that your body is relaxed, very relaxed…so relaxed that you feel like a rag doll…breathe in…breathe out…very good, you did well… Now you feel a warm sunshine shining on your head…the sunshine is so warm…you feel like you are soaking in a hot bathtub…so comfortable, so comfortable…"

Gradually, as Neville listened to Maple's soft and magnetic voice, he became more relaxed from being nervous at the beginning to the current relaxed state, as though he was intoxicated in an unforgettable beautiful dream.

"Soul be healed and reunited."

Seeing that Neville's mind was no longer tense, Maple quietly recited the [Soul Healing Spell], a warm light emerged from the tip of the wand in his hand.

The white light was extremely warm, like the sun rising over the valley in the morning. It danced at the tip of the wand, and under the spell's guidance, it entered into Neville's forehead like a trickling stream and into his mind. Healing the fatigue and stubborn illness in his soul.

The peaceful warmth felt by Neville was the soul healing power contained in the spell.

As the warmth enveloping the body slowly dissipated, Neville naturally opened his eyes again, but the dullness in his eyes was gone, instead there was a kind of bright spirituality in it.

"No matter how many times I see it, I am still amazed by its power."

Dumbledore seemed to still be recalling the white light and could not help but murmured.

"Unbelievable…"

Dean Bonham and Miriam looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

Later, Anna Bonham also recalled this memory while having a discussion.

"This is the most beautiful spell I have ever seen, bar none, the beauty of this soul is sufficient to wash away the dirt in the mind of every wizard."

"Mister?"

Seeing that there were no changes on his body, Neville doubtfully looked at Maple who had retracted his wand.

"It's done, Neville, don't you feel that you are a lot more relaxed now? Well, Neville, next me and principal Dumbledore are going to start the formal treatment. Don't worry."

Maple chuckled at Neville and gave a hint, then Dumbledore and Maple looked at each other in understanding, and pointed the wand towards the Longbottoms on the bed.

"Soul be healed and reunited."

Immediately afterwards, the ward was once again washed with the white light of soul healing spell, one strong one weak. The gentle soul power once again cleansed everyone's heart, and also cured the Longbottoms' madness, which was considered a terminal illness.

After a while, the white light dissipated, and with the turning of the door knob, the two therapists and the old and young Dumbledore quietly exited the room. Leaving the three generations of Longbottoms plenty of time to slowly digest this long-awaited reunion and solve the complex emotions within.

The faint sound of sobs reached Maple's ears, and his spirit suddenly touched. A faint realization came to his mind and caused him to unconsciously murmured,

"His heart is like a shadow, his walk follows the light."

As this conclusion was spoken, Maple clearly felt the potion that was currently sealed in his body was showing signs of loosening.

"Although unexpected, it makes sense…'dark priest'…I think I have some clues."

While following Dumbledore, Maple slightly nodded his head in relief, having more ideas on what to do next.
