Chapter 485 How Many Steps Are Needed to Create a Controllable Obscurus?

Hermione looked at Andy with complicated eyes.

She hesitated.

She didn't know whether she should persuade Andy to stop studying the Obscurus.

It has been recorded in many books that the Obscurus is a very dangerous dark magic power. No one parasitized by the Obscurus can live to be more than ten years old.

Even though Dumbledore's sister and nephew were exceptions, they still did not escape the fate of dying young.

But……

Studying magic is Andy's dream!

Andy was already studying magic before he entered school. Even when he was less than ten years old, he discovered the relationship between the mind and magic.

He's obsessed with magic!

Hermione saw no reason to stop Andy from pursuing his dream.

What's more, if Andy's analysis is correct, he may really be able to create a controllable Obscurus.

That was perhaps the greatest discovery in the history of magic.

"Andy, what are you going to do?" Hermione asked quietly.

"Well..." Andy pondered for a moment.

Things in this world often have a common characteristic, that is: it is easier said than done.

Theoretically speaking, in order to create a controllable obscurus, Andy must first achieve two prerequisites.

First, magical transformation.

Second, return the magic power to an unstable state.

These two points are relatively simple for Andy.

The former is already being prepared, while the latter... basically just needs to add some points.

After the preparation work is done, the next step is the actual process of creating the Obscurus.

Traditional Obscurus:

He was hurt by magic, caused a magic riot by being hurt, and suppressed his own magic power because he "disliked the magic that caused him harm".

In this process, the soul will further integrate with the magic power.

With magic as the body and mind as the soul.

Based on the two magic theories that "magic comes from life, and life is the sum of body and soul" and "mind is the connection between body and soul" - the magic in the wizard's body will evolve from energy into magical life.

This is a qualitative change!

The theory is now clear, what is really difficult is actually how to do it.

First let the magic power in the body riot, and then use the power of the mind to suppress the magic power.

Let alone the latter, the former alone is already a big mountain lying in front of Andy.

Magic riot!

For wizards, only extreme emotional outbursts can trigger magical riots.

At the beginning of the third grade, Harry rioted due to magic and blew up his aunt into a balloon.

It seems very simple to say.

But the reason why Harry was able to magically riot was because his aunt insulted his parents - it was the negative emotions that Harry had accumulated over the summer vacation, and they all burst out at that moment.

but……

If you want to create an obscurus, bursting out will not work.

If Harry had endured it, he might have had a chance to become the Obscurus.

"To be honest, I don't know how to trigger a magic riot at all."

Andy scratched his head and said with some distress: "I'm not bragging. I have excellent control over my magic power and very stable control over my emotions. Ordinary things can't make me angry at all."

"But if it's just pure suppression..."

Having said this, Andy spread his hands and said helplessly: "Pure suppression is just without using magic. It has no effect at all."

The control of magic power and emotions has always been an advantage that Andy is proud of.

But when it comes to creating the Obscurus, this advantage has become Andy's biggest obstacle.

Hermione thought for a while and analyzed: "Andy, I've summarized it. To become an Obscurial, one must not only have excellent magical talent, but also have sensitive emotions, a stubborn mind, and a cowardly character."

"Of course, a little stimulation from the outside is also needed."

After saying that, Hermione looked Andy up and down.

"And you're the exact opposite."

Hermione looked at Andy and said, "Andy! To be honest, I think you should change your mind and use other methods to trigger a magic riot."

"External stimulation...is not suitable for you!"

"Alas!" Andy sighed.

Andy didn't know what Hermione said.

The rest of the steps to create an Obscurus were very simple for Andy. Only the stage of triggering a magic riot was really more difficult than climbing to the sky.

"Forget it! Let's talk about it later!"

Andy took a deep breath and said: "We are not in a hurry to create Obscurus. Maybe we will have a solution in a few days."

Hermione responded with an 'indifferent' expression.

…

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was December 21st, the day of the Christmas holiday.

Coincidentally, tomorrow is the time for Andy to hold his first black magic transformation ceremony. It is a holiday at this time, which alleviates a lot of trouble for Andy.

It is always more convenient to hold a ceremony outside school than at school.

After breakfast in the morning, Andy and Hermione took the Thestral carriage to Hogsmeade station.

Andy found an empty carriage on the train and used magic to lock the door as usual.

“This year has gone pretty well.”

After getting on the train, Hermione suddenly realized, "There are no unreliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, and there are no inexplicable attacks."

"Except for Peter Pettigrew's sudden entry into the school, nothing big seems to have happened this year."

Andy looked at Hermione in disbelief, "From your tone, it seems that you are quite regretful?"

Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy, "I just hope that the next semester can be stable."

Andy agreed with this very much, "I hope so too."

"But a lot of things happened this semester, and even the Minister of Magic has been replaced."

In fact, Fudge's resignation is a good thing.

At least after Voldemort's resurrection, the Ministry of Magic can organize resistance forces in the first place.

But for Andy, there is also a bad thing.

The Ministry of Magic's defense force has been strengthened, and it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to invade the Department of Mysteries again.

After chatting about the situation in the magic world, Andy and Hermione's topic returned to magic.

In the few days before the holiday, Andy read a lot of books about magic riots, and even consulted Professors Snape and Flitwick.

However, no matter what was recorded in the book or explained by the professor, Andy got the same answer.

The magic riot must be related to the outburst of emotions.

Or it could be the stimulation of emotions by external factors, or it could be a sudden fatal crisis.

There is no other way!

Moreover, the magic riots are mostly young wizards under ten years old. For young wizards over eleven years old, the magic riot is an opportunity that can only be encountered but not sought.

This result made Andy very helpless.

It is impossible to really kill his sister to prove his truth, or for his parents to sacrifice to the gods, and have boundless magic power, right?
