Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

"Professor Flitwick, this is really troublesome for you!" Wizette said quickly, "I can go to Hogsmeade by myself!"

"As for the registration time..." Weizet thought for a while, "If there are no accidents, I should go and register on October 31st."

"What an accident!" Flitwick exclaimed, "This is indeed the case in recent years... special situations always happen on Halloween."

"And it will be during the Halloween dinner..." Weizet agreed, "I plan to sign up after the dinner is over, so it won't waste time."

"Professor Flitwick, what is the main content of the 'initial screening assessment'? It shouldn't take a lot of time, right?"

"This is not necessarily..." Flitwick murmured, "Usually it's some more routine tests. Remember back then it was like... a mud monster, right?"

"There are many ways to deal with them. You can use a fire-making spell to dry them out, or you can use a water-making spell to disperse them all. I used both kinds of magic..."

Chapter 180 Boggart and Water

"The All-British Wizarding Duel Competition..." Weizet walked quickly down a corridor, and at the end of the corridor sat a gargoyle statue.

"With such a rare opportunity, I should be able to see a lot of interesting magic. I wonder if this time I will... meet wizards from other magical worlds?"

"Treacle Toffee!"

The sinister-looking gargoyle statue jumped aside, revealing the spiral staircase behind.

The door to the principal's office was open, and when Vizette entered the room, Phoenix Fox let out a soft groan.

After a whole summer of recuperation, the Phoenix Fox returned to normal after Nirvana;

It was as energetic as before, its fiery red feathers were shiny, and its claws and beak also looked shiny.

Seeing Weizet walking in, it naturally stretched its head forward and took the airship bag handed over by Weizet.

"Principal Dumbledore, good morning!" Weizet rubbed Phoenix Fox's neck, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Good morning." Dumbledore said with a smile. Although his face was soothing, the tiredness in his eyes was hard to conceal.

"Principal Dumbledore, how about... wait until next time?" Wizette noticed this and asked tentatively, "I think you should take a good rest now."

Fox, the phoenix who swallowed the airship Lee, flapped its wings and made a sweet sound, as if in agreement with Weizet's words.

"It's okay, I think we don't need to spend too much time." Dumbledore waved his hand and slowly turned his head to look at the window.

"Maybe it won't take more than a morning, and we can finish it soon... Taking a good nap is indeed a good choice."

He looked at Weizet again, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and snacks and tea sets appeared.

"Support and care always appear in such a timely manner." Dumbledore poured a cup of tea for Weizet, "Where should we start... How about starting with Boggart?"

"Boggart?" Weizet whispered, "Principal Dumbledore, there is some connection between that armor magic... and Boggart?"

"I think there should be some kind of connection." Dumbledore nodded, "There may be many similarities in the external manifestations of magic..."

"It's like a disarming spell. Whether it's you or me... after casting this magic, as long as no deliberate changes are made, the same color of red light will be emitted."

"But how we understand this magic, how to make this magic more convenient, including how to pronounce the spell more smoothly in an accent that suits us, will show many differences."

"That's it!" Weizet nodded clearly, understanding the meaning of Dumbledore's words.

This is what he has always understood before: "different paths lead to the same destination". Maybe the form of magic is the same, but there are various differences in how it is expressed;

This is the so-called "magical understanding", and it continues to be derived when wizards try to understand the soul and pursue their own magical path;

Thinking of this, he said: "Everyone's path to magic will be different, but they also have the same thing - they are all called 'roads'."

Dumbledore began to add sugar cubes to his black tea, which was his long-standing habit.

Hearing what Vizette said, he nodded with satisfaction;

Today, Wizette has truly embarked on his own magic path and will not be easily influenced by others.

The problem Dumbledore struggled with before was based on this;

He was worried that his path to magic would have an impact on Wizette and cause some inestimable consequences, so he did not take the initiative to mention armor magic again.

Slowly stirring the tea cup to let the sugar cubes melt little by little, he continued: "Vizet, I think you haven't given up on studying Boggarts this week, right?"

"Based on this, I have some vague confidence... Armor magic may not be that difficult for you today, so I need to know how much you have mastered Boggart."

"Boggart is a very wonderful existence..." Weizet said straight to the point. "After this week of research...I realized one thing, maybe Boggart is not complete enough."

"Not complete enough?" Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Why did you think of this?"

"Luna inspired me." Weizet couldn't help but laugh. "She felt that Boggarts are very similar to water and can reflect the inner fears of others."

"So I thought of a wonderful phenomenon, which is very common, but very inconspicuous... When taking herbal medicine classes, sometimes it is necessary to repot the plants and then fertilize them."

"At this time, Professor Sprout will remind us that we must pay attention to the amount of fertilizer. Don't apply too much fertilizer, otherwise it will 'burn the seedlings'!"

"The so-called seedling burning is a very extreme situation... If too much fertilizer is applied, the plants will not only be unable to absorb water from the soil, but will also lose their own moisture. This is seedling burning."

"A very interesting point..." Dumbledore crossed his fingers and said, "Go on."

Weizet said: "When I was translating ancient runic books recently, I saw some descriptions in them. The so-called soul, he did not use a single word to express it, but used two words to express it."

"So I came up with the idea that 'spirit' and 'soul' should be viewed separately, rather than being such an indistinguishable whole. Based on this, I found a new direction for studying Boggarts."

He coughed lightly, looked at Dumbledore and said, "Principal Dumbledore, this involves my research on the soul, so my definition should prevail, right? It shouldn't affect you, right?"

"Of course not!" Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "I can accept other people's soul perspectives."

"Okay!" Wizer nodded and continued, "Just like in blood magic, the soul, blood and body are distinguished, while the soul is its core."

“In my opinion, among the distinguished ‘spirit’ and ‘soul’, although ‘spirit’ is more illusory, it can play a more fundamental role, so it is the core.”

"And what 'soul' can involve... I think it will be more specific... things that can be shaped by experience, such as the fear that Boggart desires... fear!"

"Just like in blood magic, the body and soul will affect each other...Similarly, the 'spirit' and the 'soul' will also affect each other. It is precisely because of this that everyone's soul is so different."

"What a beautiful explanation." Dumbledore couldn't help but applaud, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to make such amazing progress by studying Boggarts."

"Fortunately, with Luna's help, I suddenly became enlightened..." Weizet said with a smile, "Otherwise, I might have been moving in one direction without realizing that I could change the direction..."

Chapter 181 Blood Alliance Knight

Luna proposed the metaphor and concept of "water", which really helped Weizet clarify a lot of things, and at the same time, he was able to look at the relationship between "spirit" and "soul" from another perspective.

In Weizet's view, the relationship between "spirit" and "soul" can actually be understood in a less rigorous way by analogizing it to the relationship between life and water.

"Water" is extremely important to life and is an important thing to ensure life. "Soul" has a very similar feeling to "spirit";

If there is a lack of water, life will be difficult to sustain;

And "spirit" lacks "soul", and it is equally difficult to reflect its existence.

Being able to obtain these concepts also confirms Weizet's previous judgment that deepening his research on Boggart can help him understand the soul better.

The simplest verification standard is naturally Dumbledore's round of applause.

After the applause, Weizet took a sip of tea and moistened his dry throat. "With my understanding of 'spirit' and 'soul', if I re-examine Boggart, I will discover something new."

"As mentioned before, Boggart desires 'fear', so we can know that it lacks 'spirit'... In this way, we can also interpret its behaviors..."

"Because the Boggart lacks a 'spirit', its behavior will be driven by instinct and factors from the 'soul' such as fear..."

"Similarly because of the lack of 'spirit', Boggart is also in a certain kind of purity...or extreme, so that it can penetrate into unsuspecting souls..."

"The fear of easily obtaining victims comes from the 'soul'... It is precisely based on this that Professor Sprout's 'burning seedlings' is a more appropriate analogy."

"Rather than saying that the Boggart wants to scare people, perhaps it should be called 'it needs to scare people'. It instinctively desires 'fear' and instinctively responds to 'fear'."

He took a long breath, closed his eyes slightly to clear his thoughts, and then said: "And the so-called 'instinct' is also a very wonderful ability..."

"The most obvious advantage is...speed! In most cases, Boggart can quickly complete its transformation, and it is precisely based on this!"

…

In the eyes of modern wizards, boggarts are different from dementors and are not considered a "non-being" that is difficult to deal with;

However, it must also be admitted that whether it is to quickly obtain the fear in others' hearts or to quickly materialize the fear, it is an amazing magical ability;

In the long past, wizards and Muggles at that time did not have a deep enough understanding of the magic around them;

It is conceivable that even a wizard will feel overwhelmed when he is harassed by Boggarts and needs to face his own fears.

When Weizet was studying the "Patronus Spell Healing Technique", he read about the deeds of ancient wizards and Boggarts;

It was a famous wizard from ancient Greece named Andros. He was not only able to summon the patron saint spell the size of a giant, but he was also proficient in wandless spellcasting;

Perhaps it is precisely because of its great strength that it was given the title "Invincible". Including the chocolate frog picture, Andros is also called "The Invincible Andros";

Andros has been attacked by Boggarts, and according to early records, it is one of the few wizards who can drive away Boggarts;

Also inspired by Andros, the wizards gradually mastered the method of dealing with Boggarts and perfected it into the spell "Funny".

By reading various histories, Weizet truly understands that no matter what era he is in, there will never be a shortage of amazingly talented people. He will also use this to motivate himself, as he still has a lot to learn.

…

"Eat something!" Dumbledore pushed the snack plate forward. "Honestly, I feel that in just a few words, you should be able to understand... how to cast armor magic."

"To master armor magic, you need to understand the soul and explore the power from the soul." He stood up and walked around, as if stretching his body.

"The extent of your understanding of souls now really surprises me... As I said before, it won't be that difficult to cast armor magic."

Dumbledore stood in front of Weizet and demonstrated to Weizet the spell-casting gestures and the spell "Knight of the Blood Alliance";
