Chapter 303 The future of the Fat Cat Patron Saint

On the sofa, Isabel was holding something like a cat teaser and swinging it from side to side, while the Patronus of Fat Cats, like a real stupid cat, stared at the cat teaser attentively and fluttered back and forth with the swing of the cat teaser.

"This is……"

Andy could swear that he had absolutely no control over that stupid cat.

Prior to this, although the Fat Cat Patron Saint initially possessed some spirituality, it was somewhat sluggish and was still very different from a real living creature.

But now... it's like a real cat!

Helen followed Andy's gaze, raised her eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Andy, are you controlling the patron saint?"

"No!" Andy shook his head.

"Then this is...?" Helen was even more surprised when she heard this.

Although Helen didn't think Andy would control the patron saint to play such a stupid game with Isabel, but that's why the problem is even bigger, right?

Will the patron saint accompany people to play games?

After hearing the conversation between Andy and Helen, others also looked curiously at the fat cat patron saint.

Kyle stammered and asked: "Ann, Andy! Your patron saint doesn't really have self-awareness, does it?"

Kyle had read the paper written by Andy. Not only Kyle, but also Helen had read it.

After all, that was the first paper Andy published, and it had such a huge influence on the wizarding world. As parents, they would naturally support their children.

Helen almost memorized it.

Helen asked again to confirm: "Andy, are you really not controlling that patron saint?"

"of course not!"

Andy thought for a while and explained: "You should know Peeves, right? Peeves is not a ghost, but the embodiment of the students' naughty emotions and the magic of the castle."

"My patron saint...should have the same principle."

The principles of many magics have certain similarities, such as Obscurus, Patronus Charm, Peeves... They are similar in that they are all products of the fusion of mind and magic.

The difference between the three is:

Obscurus uses negative emotions to suppress magic.

The Patronus Charm uses happy emotions to release magic.

As for Peeves... Andy has not learned about it, but one thing can be confirmed - it is the combination of the students' naughty emotions and the magic of the castle that gave birth to Peeves.

Andy believes that the current state of the fat cat patron saint is somewhat similar to the state in which Peeves was born.

Peeves needs the naughty mood of his students.

The Fat Cat Patronus needs, well... an environment where Andy can feel happy.

Just like this moment!

As if feeling everyone's gaze, Isabel looked over in confusion, "What are you looking at me for?"

Andy said: "It's okay, you can continue playing!"

Helen bit her lip lightly, "Peeves..."

She turned to look at Kyle, "Kyle, do you know Peeves?"

As a reckless Gryffindor, Helen was only good at confronting Peeves, but she never understood the origin of Peeves.

"I've heard some rumors."

Kyle said: "Peeves has been around since the beginning of Hogwarts. I don't know its origins, but I know it's not a ghost."

Helen was a little worried, and she asked cryptically: "Andy, your Patronus...is that okay? Didn't you say that you improved the Patronus Charm based on the principle of the birth of the Obscurus?"

Kyle laughed when he heard this: "Then you must not understand. Unlike Obscurus, the Patronus Spell is just magic, so Andy can control it."

Andy nodded, "Although my patron saint is an independent life, it depends on me for its existence. You can treat it as a member of the family."

Helen rolled her eyes at Kyle, and then continued: "But it's different now. If Andy's patron saint has its own thoughts like Peeves, wouldn't it want to get rid of Andy's control?"

"You have to know that life is all about pursuing freedom."

This is what worries Helen the most.

Andy retorted: "Mom, freedom is the biggest lie in life."

"Laws, morals, ethics, human relationships, other people's opinions, secular concepts, including the knowledge we have learned, and our understanding of the world...there are many invisible things in this world that constrain us."

"No one has true freedom."

"Even the pursuit of freedom itself is not free."

At this moment, Andy transformed into a master of philosophy and refuted Helen's words in sharp language.

Andy continued: "My presence is a restraint for this fat cat. So you don't have to worry."

In Chinese terms, Andy is the guardian angel of fat cats.

As long as Andy doesn't further fuse soul and magic power and hand over more of the 'power of heaven' to the fat cat guardian angel, it will never have the ability to defy heaven.

As for the question of freedom...

In fact, Andy still feels that 'freedom' is more realistic than something as false as 'freedom'.

Helen has to make potions every day to make money, take care of her family and children, and prepare three meals a day for the family.

Is she free?

She doesn't have to do these things, but something invisible is binding her, making her have to complete these things.

She is not free, but she can be free!

Helen didn't understand what Andy meant, but since Andy could ensure that he could restrain the patron saint, Helen wasn't so worried.

"What do you think will become of Andy's patron saint in the future?"

Helen asked curiously: "Can he be in touch with reality and speak like Peeves?"

Andy thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not!"

Although the conditions for the birth of Obscurus, Patronus, and Peeves are very similar, they are still very different.

Negative emotions, happy emotions, and naughty emotions that repel magic.

Different emotions will produce completely different magical creatures.

What's more, the condition for the birth of Obscurus is to suppress the magic power, and casting the Patronus Charm requires the release of magic power.

Suppression and release... they are different no matter how you look at them, right?

"Um……"

Andy guessed: "I think the growth of the patron saint can only enhance its own abilities."

Kyle was surprised: "You mean, your patron saint will gain stronger spell-casting ability?"

If that's the case, wouldn't this fat cat be stronger than Andy?

Isn't that too exaggerated?

"Well……"

Andy explained: "What I mean is that when it has a certain amount of intelligence, I'm afraid it will have... the ability to cast spells independently!"

At the end of the sentence, Andy was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Autonomous casting...

Is there any limit to the growth of the fat cat patron saint?
