Chapter 289 The King of Volume Kings and the Dinner Party

"soul……"

Andy suppressed his inner excitement and reorganized his thoughts.

Let’s leave aside the legendary dimensional demon for the moment, but ghosts have indeed gained eternal life, and the Horcruxes created by split souls can indeed avoid death.

The ghosts living in Hogwarts, as well as Voldemort, their existence can prove this.

But now there is a problem.

Andy thought to himself: "Why has no one studied such an obvious example?"

Very few people knew about Horcruxes, but ghosts... not to mention they could be found everywhere, at least there were quite a few in Hogwarts.

And judging by the looks of those ghosts, they seem to be living quite happily.

But in the wizarding world, no one seems to aspire to be a ghost.

"Does the ghost have any flaws?" Andy frowned slightly.

If it wasn't too rude, Andy really wanted to find a ghost and ask: What does it feel like to be a ghost?

"Hmm..." Andy pondered.

Regardless of the shortcomings of ghosts, the matter of 'soul immortality'... is truly achievable.

It's just that a single soul cannot use magic. Even Voldemort's wandering soul can only rely on absorbing the vitality of other creatures to restore its strength.

"vitality……"

Andy thought about the point he made before - magic comes from life.

"If we analyze based on this point of view, the so-called dimensional demon should be a soul that occupies a dimension and uses the dimension as a body to use the power of the dimension."

"The dimension is immortal and the soul is immortal."

"The same is true for Horcruxes."

"Use some kind of magic item as a dimension and let soul fragments occupy it to avoid death."

Andy raised an eyebrow.

The principles are all the same. It seems that ancient wizards have discovered the secrets of the soul a long time ago and have also conducted some research on the soul.

The reason why they did not pursue transforming ghosts was probably because ghosts had some major flaws - especially the fact that ghosts could not use magic.

"So it's all back to square one again."

How to avoid physical death!

To be honest, after learning these secrets, Andy suddenly discovered that the path of magic that Voldemort followed did have some merits.

Black magic transformation is a magical transformation of the body, while Horcruxes use magic items as dimensions, turning soul fragments into beggar versions of dimensional demons.

Voldemort is also pursuing immortality!

Andy thought about it and decided to add more points as soon as possible. He would first increase the talent of [Black Magic], and then devote all his efforts to researching the black magic of life and soul to decipher the secrets of soul and life.

As for the source of [potential points]...

Just study combination magic!

“Phew—sleep!”

Andy lay on the bed, running Occlumency to empty his brain, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

…

In the following period, Andy's research on magic became more and more enthusiastic.

Apart from eating, sleeping, and going to class every day, the rest of the time is either spent reading in the library or practicing magic in the Room of Requirement.

That desperate energy would probably make even the senior high school students shake their heads and shout that they couldn't get through it.

But there are still people in Hogwarts who can get past Andy.

Like...some know-it-all lady.

Since discovering the original room of the Room of Requirement, it has become Andy and Hermione's secret base, where they spend most of their time studying.

The magic books that Ms. Ravenclaw left here have long been sorted out. As Andy expected, most of the magic books here contain high-end magic theories.

If ordinary wizards read these books, they may only see magical theories.

But Andy has already initially touched on combination magic. Well... maybe it would be more appropriate to call it 'fusion magic'. In short, from Andy's perspective, these magic theories are of great help to his fusion magic.

Thanks to this, Andy's fusion magic has improved rapidly. Before the Christmas holiday, Andy can already try a variety of combinations.

The power of magic is just average.

But what surprised Andy the most was Hermione's progress.

The little witch seems to be very suitable for fusion magic. When practicing magic, Hermione just tried it on a whim and unexpectedly succeeded.

Andy was almost shocked!

Because of this, Hermione now often calls herself the most orthodox heir of Ravenclaw, and is determined to carry forward Ms. Ravenclaw's magic, and studies extremely hard.

The result of this approach is that Andy is often involved in life and cannot take care of himself.

Thanks to the progress made during this period, at a recent duel club gathering, Hermione easily defeated Zhang Qiu with the help of fusion magic, and even fought to a close with Cedric.

If Cedric hadn't reacted too quickly, he might have been defeated by Hermione.

The improvement in strength was visible to the naked eye, which made Hermione roll even more energetically.

So when the Christmas holidays came, even Andy breathed a sigh of relief.

I really can’t move my liver anymore!

On the last day before the holiday, Hogwarts held a dinner, and all the professors were present.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was very joyful. The little wizards were happily discussing their holiday arrangements. The professors were also chatting quietly about things inside and outside the school.

"Andy, will you go to Godric's Hollow this Christmas?" Harry came over and asked.

"Hmm! Do you want...?" Andy asked.

Harry was a little confused. He wanted to go to Godric's Hollow to see the traces left by his parents, but Andy's family was spending Christmas, and it was hard for him to be an outsider involved.

"Andy, can you take some more pictures for me?" Harry asked.

"Of course, no problem!" Andy agreed immediately.

This saves a lot of money.

"Thank you!" Harry said gratefully.

Andy had an idea, "Hermione, how about visiting Godric's Hollow after the holidays? Godric's Hollow is a very famous place in the wizarding world."

When Harry heard this, he looked at Andy with admiration. If he had Andy's shame, he could also solve the problem of being single.

"Godric's Hollow?"

Hermione was a little moved. She had heard the name of this valley a long time ago, "But... wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

"how could be?"

Andy came up with an idea, "We have several days off for Christmas break! During the last two days of the break, you can take the Knight Bus to Godric's Hollow. When school starts, we can also go to King's Cross Station together."

"Uh... isn't there any other way of transportation?" Hermione asked in confusion.

The little witch really couldn't figure out why anyone would like something like the Knight Bus.

The traffic police should tow that broken car away!

"A fireplace will work too!"

Andy suggested again: "You can go to the Broken Ax and use the fireplace, and go straight to my grandfather's house."
