Chapter 127 Flitwick and Dumbledore

After sending a letter to Professor Flitwick, Andy stayed at home patiently, waiting for the professor's reply.

Every day, he read books, brewed a few bottles of potion, practiced the Patronus Charm, amused Isabel, and wrote a reply to Hermione when he was free.

Three days passed in a flash.

Pu Pu!

In the afternoon's leisure time, a gray-brown owl flew in from the open window, circled in 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, raised his feet, and signaled Andy to take the letter quickly, which was quite tiring.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Andy stood up, took the letter down first, and then took some dried fruits to feed the owl. After the owl was full, he flew out of the window with a satisfied look on his face.

Andy glanced at the signature on the letter.

Filius Flitwick!

Yes!

Andy's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to open the envelope.

As a professor at Hogwarts who has taught for decades, Flitwick's achievements in the field of spells are incomparable to ordinary people. Even in the entire European magic world, Flitwick's achievements in the field of spells are definitely among the top ones.

In these three days, Andy finally tasted what it means to spend a day like a year.

Open the letter.

Andy carefully read every word on it, not daring to miss a letter.

Professor Flitwick first affirmed Andy's spirit of inquiry, and also gave a detailed answer to Andy's questions.

When the Patronus Charm was invented, there were indeed no creatures like Dementors in the magic world.

Professor Flitwick mentioned in the letter that the Patronus Charm is a very old 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 too old and very difficult to learn. In the history of the magic world, no one learned this spell for a long time.

It was not until the Dementors and Voldemorts appeared in the magic world that the Patronus Charm was widely used. However, even so, there were not many wizards in the magic world who could use the Patronus Charm.

"Professor Flitwick doesn't know either?"

Andy had a headache.

Although Professor Flitwick wrote a lot of words, these contents were no different from "nonsense" in Andy's opinion.

Andy's expectations for so many days were in vain.

What a waste of emotions!

"Huh——"

Andy took a deep breath and continued to read patiently.

Most of the content in the second half was Professor Flitwick's guess.

Or, 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 likely to be a magic invented by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus.

Professor Flitwick said he would continue to study it.

As for Dumbledore's Phoenix Patronus...

Professor Flitwick wrote at the end of the letter that he would go to Hogwarts to discuss with Dumbledore after sending the letter.

Andy: "..."

"So, Professor Flitwick is in the principal's office now?" Andy was a little confused.

If I had known this earlier, I might as well have written to Dumbledore directly.

Rubbing his temples, Andy reread the contents of the letter. After making sure that there was nothing missing, Andy took out his wand and used the fire spell to turn the letter into ashes.

"Now we can only wait for the result."

Andy was looking forward to it.

Dumbledore is the number one in the current magic world. When he was young, he studied the Obscurus, and his patronus is still an extremely rare magical creature-the Phoenix.

If there is still one person in the current magic world who can answer Andy's questions, then this person must be Dumbledore.

...

Hogwarts Castle.

A faint blue flame ignited in the fireplace of the principal's office.

Flitwick walked out of the flames, looked up at Dumbledore, and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Albus, I have to bother you during the holidays."

"I'm honored, Filius."

Dumbledore pushed up his glasses and smiled: "Please sit down, anything 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 look at Dumbledore at eye level.

This is much more comfortable!

Dumbledore showed an awkward but polite smile, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and a glass of butterbeer appeared in front of Flitwick out of thin air.

"Thank you!" Flitwick said politely.

"Filius, you are looking for me at this time, do you have something important to say?" Dumbledore asked.

Seriously speaking, many faculty and staff of Hogwarts are miserable. Apart from the school, they have nowhere to go outside.

Dumbledore was one of them.

"It's about the Patronus Charm."

Flitwick said a little embarrassedly: "Three days ago, Andy Collins, a student of our college, wrote me a letter and asked some questions about the Patronus Charm."

Dumbledore's expression became 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 found many 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 patron saint.

"Albus, do you know the initial effect of the Patronus Charm?" Flitwick asked reluctantly.
