days at Hogwarts

Chapter 113 Talk
"What should I do?" Loren asked.

"Focus." Dumbledore held out his quaint wand to Loren's eyes.

Loren first saw a cluster of red light on the tip of the wand, his magic power perception horizon was induced, his eyes stuck to it, and he was unconsciously attracted and immersed.

Dumbledore drew Loren's attention with his wand, and flicked his wand suddenly, throwing the focus of Loren's sight away.

For a moment, Loren's eyes couldn't focus and he couldn't see anything clearly.The colors of all the things in the office suddenly faded away, leaving only outlines drawn with white lines like line drafts.All the lines are twisted and intertwined like water.

Objects such as teacups and wooden tables without magic power have clear outlines and fixed lines without flow.

In such a scene, Loren could see more details clearly.

There is a slightly raised wooden bump on the second floor of the bookshelf, and the tea in the cup floats up a few bubbles, and the shape and movement of objects are more intuitively presented in his field of vision.

Things with magic power, such as Dumbledore in front of you and the Philosopher's Stone on the table, their outlines are constantly flowing.

Loren looked down at his hand, the outline of the palm was also flowing, and there was a thin thread wrapped around his finger, which was Zongsi.

He hooked the thin thread with the fingers of the other hand, and the lines of the fingers intertwined with the lines of Zongsi, and then passed through without affecting each other.

"Perceive magic with your heart, not your eyes." Dumbledore's voice came.

Under the guidance of Dumbledore, Loren discarded the colors and images, and the world presented a two-dimensional canvas-like line draft.

Ignoring the line draft in front of him, Loren entered a strange state.

The magical things in this office all radiate their own presence, each in a different way.

There are two sources of magic power with the strongest sense of existence, one is Dumbledore and the other is the Sorcerer's Stone.

Dumbledore's magic power is more active, showing vigorous vitality, like a volcano.The magic power in the Philosopher's Stone is more, but it is stable and quiet, like a dead star.

This feeling is unlike any of the senses.It's not visual, it's not auditory, it's also hard to describe, but he just feels it.

Dumbledore put the quaint wand on the table, and the hard wood collided with the table, making a slight sound.

"pata"

As the sound sounded, in Loren's vision, the white lines disappeared, and all objects were recolored, and he also withdrew from that wonderful state.

"Remember this feeling." Dumbledore looked at Loren with a gentle smile on his face.

Loren was a little unsatisfied, "Is this the magic perception of a magic master?"

For non-magic things, all perception is heightened, capturing the presence and movement of objects more clearly.Something magical, transformed into another unique perception.

Dumbledore picked up his beard and pretended to be contemplative, "Emmm, although I don't know the situation of other people, my perspective should be able to give you some reference."

"How should I get into the state just now?" Loren looked away from the wand and looked at Dumbledore.

"When your magical vision opens, calm down, recall the feeling just now, and feel the world with your heart." Dumbledore replied.

Loren nodded with a vague understanding, recalling the feeling just now in his mind.

Dumbledore saw Loren lost in thought, picked up the documents on the table and continued to read.The office fell into silence again, the old and the young sat opposite each other, busy with their own affairs.

I don't know how long it took until Dumbledore read the last page of the document and signed the end with a quill.

"So, now, can you tell me what you plan to do when you suddenly come to ask for the Philosopher's Stone?" Dumbledore's voice woke Loren from his memory.

"Oh, there's something different about the parchment that Percy signed us. You know, I have different eyes. As far as I know it's not just about maintaining secrecy."

As Loren said, he stretched out his hand and showed Dumbledore the traces wrapped around his fingers. He knew that Dumbledore would definitely see it.

Dumbledore didn't look at Loren's immature hands, but looked at Loren's face, Loren's eyes, trying to see something deeper from his expression.

But Loren had no expression on his face, and just shook his white fingers self-consciously, "The book Nicole gave me told me that magic power can be used to wash away the traces of entanglement."

Dumbledore did not answer this sentence, he closed the financial report documents on the table and put them aside, and looked at Loren seriously, "I want to know your opinion, about Zongsi, about "Reasonable Restrictions on Underage Wizards" bill"."

The act of coming to him to ask for the Philosopher's Stone showed that Loren already knew the relevant information about Zongsi.The previous few sentences also showed that Loren had some understanding of the connotation of Zongsi and the bill.

At Nicole May's house in Devonshire, Nicole gave the picture to Loren in front of Dumbledore.

Although Dumbledore may not know the role of the picture in conjunction with the book of fantasy, the picture must be like a magical portrait, carrying the memories of many portrait owners.

Dumbledore was not aware of the existence of Flamel, but he assumed that there was a magical figure teaching Loren with Nicol's valuable knowledge of hundreds of years.

"I'm just a child, what can I think." Loren muttered.What does he think? His opinion is that it is very troublesome to change, and it is very troublesome to think about it.

Dumbledore watched him quietly, showing that the old Headmaster was patient.

"Alas~" Loren sighed, knowing that the old man would not let him go.

He supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, and sat down inside, "My opinion is that the way of thinking and some knowledge of Muggles will flow into the wizarding world on their own and transform the wizarding world."

"Oh." Dumbledore showed interest when he heard this novel idea, "Can you explain it to me, an old man?"

"Pure blood curbs little Muggle wizards from the perspective of education and growth, but from my personal point of view, this method may not be so useful..." Loren expressed his thoughts in the gentlest way possible.

The entire new generation of the wizarding world is in a state of downgraded strength, no matter if they are pure blood or mixed blood, they are from Muggle families.

Relatively speaking, the Muggle way of thinking and a part of knowledge are the advantages.This part of the content will naturally flow into the magic world through Muggle wizards and mixed blood, and transform all aspects of the magic world.

Just like Honeydukes, as a traditional candy store, it stands out from other candy stores after using the common discounts and promotions in the Muggle world, packaging gift boxes and other means.

It wasn't long before other confectioners launched similar campaigns, thinking it was a common but useful promotion.But it has already been shown that the business models of Muggle society have had an impact on wizarding society.

The Daily Prophet has changed from a normal news daily to a business daily with false content and exaggerated claims.This is also a manifestation of Muggle consciousness.

It is in this environment that Muggle consciousness seeps in bit by bit to transform the wizarding world.

Wizards are only a minority group. Once connected with Muggle society, they will passively adapt and be transformed.The blockage of knowledge will also be broken.

The steady flow of little wizards is the embodiment of this connection.

"Pure blood is bound to decline, but it will be a long process." After Loren finished speaking, he poured himself a large cup of tea.

Dumbledore's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be looking at the future he was talking about through Loren.

Dumbledore came back to his senses, did not comment on Loren's point of view, and talked about another matter,

"Professor McGonagall seized on the absurd behavior of old Crabbe's visit to the school, and asked the school board and the Ministry of Magic to improve the autonomy of Hogwarts. She proposed 276 amendments, but the school board rejected 176 of them. "

Seeing that he still had the tendency to go into detail, Loren waved his hands quickly, "Stop, I'm just a first-year student, these things are what adults should worry about, not me."

He grabbed the Philosopher's Stone on the table, put it in his pocket, and hurried out of the office, "Goodbye, principal!"

Dumbledore couldn't help laughing as he looked at Loren who fled in despair.

Loren, as Niko's designated successor, should indeed have the Philosopher's Stone.

In the hospital, Dumbledore has also warned that the Philosopher's Stone is not something that people can get what they want.He believed that Loren would not indulge in the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

More importantly, Loren will refine his own Philosopher's Stone. No matter how much advice and suggestions are given, only Loren can walk the final road.

Dumbledore had understood that their shackles should no longer be carried by children.

From this Quirrell incident, he noticed the difference in Loren's mind.Not Hermione's kind of intelligence, but a more mature mind.

Loren communicated more with Snape. Like Harry and the others, he did not recognize Snape as the person who sought the Sorcerer's Stone, and because of his unique perspective, he realized that Quirrell was the real murderer.This is what Dumbledore expected.

But Loren didn't participate in the Philosopher's Stone breakthrough. Even if the curse was about to come, his mood swings were very small, and he didn't seem to worry about safety.

These signs indicate that Loren has seen through his plan.

Dumbledore had known Loren's character for a long time. He wanted to save his relatives, got along well with friends, and could get along with Snape, who was not very friendly.Cheerful, kind, and value friendship.

But he still wanted to talk to Loren, so today's talk came about.

Loren has profound insights into pure-blood issues, issues in the wizarding world and Muggle society.

Aware of the sinister effect of trace-related laws, but because of laziness and fear of trouble, there is no urge to change, thinking that time and trends will naturally change.

What surprised him the most was that when it came to Hogwarts and the school board, Loren had no interest.

Without a grand sense of mission, without the pursuit and desire for power, this is not a good character, and it just meets all of Dumbledore's expectations.

Because those who always think they have a mission, seek power, and desire to change the world will always make the world worse.

Dumbledore sat on the table and closed his eyes, thinking about the school board after the end of the school year. Some measures should be tougher.

The old wizard's powerful fingers tapped on the hardwood tabletop, making a dull sound.

Loren walked out of the office, always feeling that the old man Dumbledore was acting weird today.But getting the most important Philosopher's Stone just like this, I always feel a little unreal.

"Forget it, it's normal that Dumbledore is not normal." He walked towards the Room of Requirement, intending to communicate with the magic power of the Sorcerer's Stone and wash away the traces on his fingers.

After saying hello to silly Barnabas, Loren pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement and entered a quiet abandoned classroom.

He sat cross-legged, took out the Philosopher's Stone and looked at it carefully, ready to close his eyes at any time.

This is a red crystal like amber, not very transparent.Not any regular shape, the size of a fist, like a stone picked up at random by the lake, smooth to the touch.

He cautiously poured a little magic power into the Philosopher's Stone, the red crystal lighted up slightly, and a surge of magic power poured into Loren's body along his hand.

A warm feeling flooded his whole body, and Loren's hair and robe were agitated and kept flying.

He and Harry had felt it before, in the corridor under the trapdoor, when they had confronted Voldemort.

Mighty, turbulent, endless.

At that time, the magic power had a vent, and Loren felt hot all over after waking up from the hospital.Now all the magic power is enclosed in Loren's body, and the warm feeling instantly becomes scorching and swollen.

Loren didn't panic, the magic power gushing out from the Philosopher's Stone would not exceed the limit of his body's tolerance, which was also his previous experience.

They will be at a disadvantage against Voldemort. It is not that the magic power of the Sorcerer's Stone is not enough, but that the Sorcerer's Stone has not been infused with more magic than they can bear.

It is not a complicated magic ritual to communicate the magic power to scour Zongsi, the process of the magic power surge is the process of scouring.Just don't know how long it will take.

Loren closed his eyes, recalled the state of perception in the principal's office, and tried to enter the state.

The color of the entire classroom faded, and the surrounding walls turned into white rough lines twisted and intertwined.

Loren turned his gaze to his fingertips, and saw the white traces wrapped around them instantly disintegrate and disappear.In the natural state of the magic power in the little wizard's body, it would take seven years or more to achieve the effect, but the communication with the Philosopher's Stone achieved it in an instant.

He let go of his right hand and let the magic stone fall to the ground, and the surging magic power was cut off.

The swelling pain and burning sensation still remained in his body.He held the wand and gradually stabilized the magic power in his body.

"call……"

Loren breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the Philosopher's Stone that fell on the ground in a daze.

The Philosopher's Stone is not only an endless source of magic power, but also the carrier of the refiner's thoughts.In just a short time of direct communication with the Philosopher's Stone, he felt Nico's will from the Philosopher's Stone.

It is a kind of wisdom after vicissitudes, a kind of exhaustion from seeing the world, and a yearning for death.The turbulent magic power and the decadent will form a strong contrast.

This will communicates with Loren's soul through magic power, and intuitively transmits thoughts to Loren.It seems to be warning Loren not to go this way.

Loren picked up the Philosopher's Stone and put it in his pocket.With light steps, he walked out of the Room of Requirement with the joy of breaking traces, and walked to the Gryffindor lounge.

"So is Dumbledore, and so is Nicole, always thinking of me. Do you have any control over where I'm going? Really." Muttering voices scattered in the corridor.
