Chapter 127 Flitwick and Dumbledore
After sending a letter to Professor Flitwick, Andy stayed at home patiently, waiting for the professor's reply.
Read a book every day, brew a few bottles of potion, practice the Patronus Charm, tease Isabel by the way, and write a reply to Hermione when you have free time.
Three days flew by.
Servant!
During my free time in the afternoon, a gray-brown owl flew in from the open window, circled around the living room, and landed on the glass coffee table.
Andy was slumped on the sofa, pretending to be dead.
The owl glanced at Andy and raised his feet, signaling Andy to get the letter quickly. This action was quite tiring.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Andy stood up, first took down the letter, and then took some dried fruits and fed them to the owl. After the owl had finished eating and drinking, he flew out of the window with a satisfied look on his face.
Andy glanced at the signature of the letter.
Filius Flitwick!
Yes!
Andy's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to open the envelope.
As a Hogwarts professor who has taught for decades, Flitwick's achievements in the field of magic are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Even within the entire European magic world, Flitwick's achievements in the field of magic are definitely among the best.
In these three days, Andy finally tasted what it meant to live like a year.
Open the stationery.
Andy read every word above carefully, not daring to miss a letter.
Professor Flitwick first affirmed Andy's spirit of inquiry and also gave a detailed answer to the questions raised by Andy.
When the Patronus Charm was invented, there were indeed no dementors in the magical world.
Professor Flitwick mentioned in the letter that the Patronus Charm is a very ancient magic, and no one knows why this magic was originally invented.
As for Andy's guess - the Patronus Charm was invented by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus.
Professor Flitwick did not give a definite answer.
He encouraged Andy to continue his research.
According to Professor Flitwick, the Patronus Charm is ancient and difficult to learn. For a long time in the history of the wizarding world, no one learned this spell.
It wasn't until Dementors and Voldebats appeared in the wizarding world that the Patronus Charm became widely used. However, even so, there are not many wizards in the magic world who can use the Patronus Charm.
"Doesn't Professor Flitwick know either?"
Andy had a headache.
Although Professor Flitwick wrote a lot of words, in Andy's opinion, these contents were no different from 'nonsense'.
Andy has been looking forward to it for so many days in vain.
What a waste of feelings!
"call--"
Andy took a deep breath and continued reading patiently.
Most of the content in the second half is Professor Flitwick's guess.
In other words, Professor Flitwick was confirming Andy's guess.
Professor Flitwick gave many examples, and finally got an answer similar to Andy's:
The Patronus Charm is most likely a magic invented by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus.
Professor Flitwick said he would continue his research.
As for Dumbledore’s Phoenix Patronus…
Professor Flitwick wrote at the end of the letter that after he sent the letter, he would go to Hogwarts to discuss it with Dumbledore.
Andy: "..."
"So, Professor Flitwick is in the principal's office now?" Andy was a little confused.
If I had known this, I might as well have written to Dumbledore directly.
Rubbing his temples, Andy read the contents of the letter again. After making sure nothing was missing, Andy took out his wand and used a fire spell to turn the letter into ashes.
"Now we can only wait for the results."
Andy felt a little hopeful.
Dumbledore is the number one person in the wizarding world today. He studied the Obscurus when he was young, and his patron saint was the extremely rare magical creature-the Phoenix.
If there is one person in today's wizarding world who can answer Andy's questions, then this person is none other than Dumbledore.
…
Hogwarts Castle.
The fireplace in the principal's office lit up with a blue flame.
Flitwick walked out of the flames, looked up at Dumbledore, and said with a slightly apologetic tone: "I'm so sorry, Albus, for bothering you even though I'm on vacation."
"It would be my pleasure, Filius."
Dumbledore pushed up his sliding glasses and said with a smile: "Please sit down, would you like something to drink?"
"Butterbeer will do." Flitwick sat on the chair opposite the desk and twisted his body awkwardly.
After thinking about it, Flitwick suddenly took out his wand and raised the chair so that he could be at eye level with Dumbledore.
It feels much more comfortable now!
Dumbledore showed an awkward yet polite smile, tapped his fingers on the table, and a cup of butterbeer appeared in front of Flitwick out of thin air.
"Thank you!" Flitwick said politely.
"Filius, do you have anything important to say when you come to me at this time?" Dumbledore asked.
Seriously, many of the staff at Hogwarts are miserable. There is no place for them to go outside except school.
Dumbledore is one of them.
"It's about the Patronus Charm."
Flitwick said with some embarrassment: "Three days ago, Andy Collins, a student in our college, wrote me a letter and asked some questions about the Patronus Charm."
Dumbledore's expression was much more serious.
Flitwick sorted out his words and said, "He believes that the Patronus Charm is a magic developed by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus."
"After reading the letter he wrote, I checked a lot of information and indeed found a lot of similarities between the two."
"Albus, your patronus is the only magical animal in the wizarding world today... What do you think of this?"
Dumbledore's eyes were a little vacant.
Every time he heard the word 'Oscurus', Dumbledore couldn't help but think back to the mistakes he made when he was young.
His sister, and his brother's son.
"I did do some research on the Patronus Charm...and the Obscurus."
Dumbledore spoke slowly: "But you have to know that only little wizards under the age of ten can...become the Obscurus."
"As for the Patron Saint Curse...a huge change in the mind can change the form of the Patron Saint. My original Patron Saint was not a phoenix, and my current Patron Saint...has no special abilities."
Flitwick nodded.
Although Dumbledore didn't say much, he already understood what Dumbledore meant.
Regardless of whether the Patronus Curse had something to do with Obscurus or not, they were unable to study it now.
Because their magic power has stabilized.
As for Dumbledore’s Phoenix Patronus…
It was after Dumbledore experienced a great emotional change that he changed his original form of Patronus.
"Albus, do you know the initial effect of the Patronus Charm?" Flitwick asked reluctantly.
