Chapter 128 The broken Andy
Dumbledore thought about it seriously, "The Patronus Charm is a very ancient magic. The magic of that period was completely different from our current magic, and the way of recording it was also different."
"It can be said that the Patronus Charm actually evolved from ancient magic. As for its original effect... I'm sorry, that was too long ago."
Flitwick sighed and nodded.
There is no record of this in the Hogwarts library. When the Big Four founded Hogwarts, the wand had already been invented.
The invention of the Patronus Charm is even older.
"Ancient magic?"
Flitwick frowned. If that was the case, it would be difficult to study.
Dumbledore continued: "Ancient magic is famous for being powerful and difficult to control. If magic is out of control, the effects may be similar to the effects of unstable magic."
"That little guy Collins sure has some ideas."
Flitwick said seriously: "That makes sense. If that's the case, the original Patronus Spell...maybe it was the Obscurus of white magic."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "It's possible, but we can no longer verify it."
Flitwick was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Indeed, they have been unable to verify it.
Ancient magic is completely different from modern magic. They have become accustomed to using modern magic, and ancient magic has been almost lost.
It's impossible for them to deliberately let magic go out of control just to study the Patronus Charm, right?
What's the difference between that and committing suicide?
"It seems that the little guy is going to be disappointed." Flitwick sighed.
He actually quite admires Andy.
Although Andy has many problems, his love for magic is unmatched by other little wizards. And Andy also thinks very deeply about magic, and often gets to the essence of magic directly.
Dumbledore said nothing.
The question raised by Andy is a bit out of line for today's wizarding world.
Even Dumbledore couldn't give a clear answer.
Silently...
Dumbledore did study the Obscurus, but to no avail.
If Dumbledore really solved the mystery of the Obscurus, then his sister, his nephew, would not have to die.
"Albus, I'm going to the library."
Flitwick sighed and said: "If the answer can't be found in the library, then I can only advise Collins to give up this research."
Dumbledore nodded, then asked with a smile: "Collins... what results did that little guy come up with?"
Flitwick spread his hands and said: "It should still be at the stage of proposing ideas, right? He wrote to me, probably also wanting to get certification from me."
"What an amazing little wizard." Dumbledore said with emotion.
"Yes!" Flitwick nodded, then stood up and left the principal's office.
After Flitwick left, Dumbledore opened the drawer of his desk, took out a magic book from it, and casually turned to the chapter introducing the Obscurus.
Looking at the words above, Dumbledore unconsciously recalled the battle with the Obscurus in his middle age.
That was his brother's son.
Aurelius Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's sister is the Obscurus, and he began studying the Obscurus when he was very young. But he still couldn't save his sister, nor his nephew.
Taking out the pensieve, Dumbledore tapped his temple with his wand and pulled out a silver-white thread.
Putting the silver-white silk thread into the pensieve, Dumbledore re-watched the battle between himself and the Obscurus.
"Silently..."
The magic world has never been short of people who pursue power.
When Andy first asked Dumbledore about the Obscurus, Dumbledore realized that Andy had noticed the dark magical power of the Obscurus.
Dumbledore always paid special attention to special children.
In fact, Dumbledore was relieved when he learned that Andy had focused his research on the Patronus Charm.
Dumbledore now only hopes that sister Andy will not go through what his sister did.
…
Saint Catchpore Village.
Andy sat in the study, hesitating whether to write another letter to Professor Flitwick, telling him that his magic was in an unstable state at the moment.
It's not that Andy broke the pot.
Learning needs to be discussed, and it is not advisable to work behind closed doors.
If Professor Flitwick was still at Hogwarts, then Andy discussing magic with Professor Flitwick would be equivalent to discussing magic with Dumbledore.
This is a rare opportunity.
In particular, Andy has achieved certain results.
In the past three days, Andy has never stopped practicing the Patronus Charm. As Andy casts the patronus spell again and again, Andy's fat cat patronus becomes more and more spiritual.
After all, Andy's magical attainments are limited. It is difficult to judge what his patron saint will eventually become by just guessing.
But maybe Dumbledore could.
Andy gritted his teeth.
What are you afraid of?
Even if Dumbledore knew, he couldn't do anything to himself.
Rather than hiding it and studying it alone, it would be better to discuss it openly with Dumbledore.
Besides, if Andy's research is successful, he will always use this magic in the future.
Dumbledore would find out sooner or later.
As for the secret of unstable magic power...
Talent, age, accidents, violent mood swings... Andy can find ten thousand reasons for this.
Most importantly, if you discuss magic with Dumbledore through Flitwick, you don't owe Dumbledore any favors.
Thinking of this, Andy took out the letter paper, dipped his quill in ink, and started writing a letter.
Dear Professor Flitwick:
I'm glad to hear from you and glad that you share my thoughts.
In fact, my research has made some progress.
I used some method to make my magic power become unstable. When I cast the Patronus Charm in this state, my Patronus seemed to have some activity.
It seemed to be coming to life.
I think unstable magic might be able to merge with a wizard's emotions...
…
Andy wrote a lot of words eloquently, informing Professor Flitwick in detail about his current research results and status.
Of course, Andy's main purpose was to convey this matter to Dumbledore through Professor Flitwick.
"I wonder what Dumbledore would think of the principal?" Andy looked forward to it.
Handing the letter to his owl, Andy touched the owl's big head and said, "Please. When you come back, I'll treat you to a feast."
Gu Gu!
Watching the owl flying into the air, Andy's eyes were deep. This letter entrusts my future.
