Chapter 495 Hogwarts starts school and focuses on key points

"Andy, wake up—"

Early in the morning, Andy struggled to get up from the bed amidst Isabel's urging screams.

"ha--"

Andy half-closed his eyes and let out a long yawn.

I chatted with Grindelwald too late last night, and it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night when I went to bed.

And now...

Andy glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

It’s only after seven o’clock!

I slept for less than five hours...Help!

After resting for a long time, Andy dressed, washed, folded the quilt, then wandered all the way downstairs, leaned on the sofa and continued to squint for a while.

Tired, really tired.

But there are so many rewards.

Especially in the field of black magic, Grindelwald has some unique insights, allowing Andy to see the true charm of black magic... and of course, the dangers of black magic.

Andy has always been self-taught in black magic.

Other subjects at least have professors who teach the basics, but dark magic... Hogwarts really doesn't teach it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with self-study.

Voldemort learned the dark arts on his own.

Grindelwald was still expelled, he didn't even have a student status.

cough!

In short, with someone to guide you, you can avoid many detours.

At least Andy felt that he had a new understanding of black magic.

Before today, Andy always believed that white magic is the exploration and understanding of the world, and black magic is the analysis and interpretation of one's own life and soul.

One explores outward and the other explores inward.

It's just that when exploring human beings themselves, some experiments look very evil, so they are called "black magic" and become taboo in the magic world.

Of course, in different eras, mainstream society has completely different definitions of black magic.

In today's era, many magics that focus on 'negative emotions' are also classified as 'black magic'.

But Grindelwald apparently had a different view.

He didn't realize it when he was young, but as he grew older, Grindelwald realized that he might have been deceived by black magic when he was young.

He became more and more cruel, irritable and extreme. As long as a little thing doesn't go his way, he will be very impatient.

These are the side effects of learning black magic.

In Grindelwald's view, the mind controls magic, and magic can also pollute the mind.

When you use the Killing Curse with strong killing intent, the Killing Curse will 'strengthen' the killing intent and engrave it deep in your soul.

again and again.

Until the soul completely falls into the abyss of darkness.

This also made Andy more wary of black magic.

However, human nature is inherently divided into two sides: good and evil. You can't be evil, but you can't be too kind either.

Goodness can overwhelm evil, but it cannot eliminate evil.

"You can practice some black magic." Andy thought to himself.

In the system panel, the [Will] attribute reached six points. Such a high will is enough to be immune to the sequelae caused by black magic to a certain extent.

"dark magic……"

"Just in time to ask Grindelwald for advice."

…

Christmas passes quickly.

On the night of December 29th, Andy completed the second black magic transformation ceremony.

On January 5th, Andy completed the third black magic transformation ceremony.

This Christmas vacation is tantamount to opening a new version for Andy.

In addition to the 'talent points system' that comes with time travel, Andy has obtained the second golden finger in his life - the portable grandfather.

【】

Andy Collins, the protagonist with the most golden fingers, only feels that his future is bright at this moment.

During this time, Andy and Grindelwald talked from Obscurus to magical transformation, from magical transformation to dark magic, and then from dark magic to the situation in the wizarding world.

We talk about almost everything from far and wide.

Andy records his conversations with Grindelwald every day, on the one hand to check whether the old guy has cheated him, and on the other hand to summarize.

This old guy is not only highly accomplished in black magic, but he has also been the leader of evil forces. During the years he traveled across Europe, he saw many interesting people and things, and knew many ancient secrets.

These can bring new inspiration to Andy.

In just two weeks of vacation, although Andy has not made much progress in terms of strength, his vision and knowledge have been greatly expanded.

A lot of magical knowledge that seemed complicated in the past is now clear and clear.

Andy feels that he has changed a lot!

And it’s a change from the inside out.

In addition, Andy also took the time to date Hermione twice.

The first time was to go to the Muggle library to look up information, and the second time was just for a date.

On January 6th, Hogwarts starts school.

Andy boarded the express train to Hogwarts again.

Wow——

Andy opened the door of a carriage and said, "This is the one!"

As he spoke, Andy waved his hand gently, and the two suitcases automatically flew to the shelf.

"It really looks like wandless spellcasting."

Hermione praised: "You are really getting more and more skilled."

Andy raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Practice makes perfect...and this trick is very cool."

Hermione glanced at Andy and suddenly said: "You look a little different."

"I?"

Andy smiled and asked, "What's different?"

"Um……"

Hermione pondered for a moment and said, "I remember before the Christmas vacation, you were still struggling with the Obscurus matter. At that time, you were...a little anxious."

"What now?" Andy asked.

"It feels much more natural now."

Hermione asked curiously: "Has the problem that bothered you been solved?"

Andy shook his head, "How could it be so fast!"

The emotions that gave birth to the Obscurus may not be fixed.

But finding a replacement... isn't that easy either.

"Then you..." Hermione tried.

She didn't think Andy would give up easily.

"Look away!"

Andy spread his hands and said: "I'm still young, I can always solve it in the future."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Great! I thought you would conduct the experiment regardless of the cost."

"Andy, do you know? When I was dreaming, I dreamed that you would be bitten by the Obscurus and eventually die in pain and misery!"

Andy: "..."

What do you want me to say in response to your words?

"First of all, I'm honored to meet you in my dream." As he said that, Andy winked at Hermione.

Hermione's eyes suddenly smiled.

Andy was equally relieved. Great, got the point.

"Secondly..."

Andy continued: "Dreams are reversed."

"You dreamed that I was bitten by Obscurus, which just means that I have successfully controlled Obscurus in the future."

Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, "Dreams are backwards? This is neither scientific nor magical. Andy, which book did you read this sentence from?"

Andy: "..."

You are also very good at grasping the key points!
