Chapter 495: Hogwarts Opens and Focuses on Key Points
"Andy, get up--"
Early in the morning, Andy struggled to get up from the bed amid Isabel's life-threatening shouts.
"Ha--"
Andy half-closed his eyes and yawned.
I chatted with Grindelwald too late last night, and it was already past two in the middle of the night when I went to bed.
And now...
Andy glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
It was just past seven o'clock!
I slept for less than five hours... Help!
After a long rest, Andy cast a spell to dress, wash, fold the quilt, and then staggered downstairs and leaned on the sofa to continue taking a nap.
It was really tiring.
But I also gained a lot.
Especially in the field of black magic, Grindelwald had his own unique insights, which made Andy see the true charm of black magic... Of course, there is also the danger of black magic.
All along, Andy's black magic has been self-taught.
Other subjects at least have professors to teach the basics, but Hogwarts really doesn't teach black magic.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with self-study.
Voldemort taught himself black magic.
Grindelwald was expelled, and he didn't even have a student status.
Ahem!
In short, with guidance, you can avoid a lot of detours.
At least Andy feels that he has a new understanding of black magic.
Before today, Andy always believed that white magic is the exploration and cognition of the world, and black magic is the analysis and interpretation of one's own life and soul.
One is an outward exploration, and the other is an inward exploration.
It's just that when exploring human beings themselves, some experiments look very evil, so they are named "black magic" and become a taboo in the magic world.
Of course, in different eras, the definition of black magic in mainstream society is also completely different.
In this era, many magics based on "negative emotions" are also classified as "black magic".
But Grindelwald obviously has a different view.
He didn't feel it when he was young, but when he got older, Grindelwald realized that he might have been confused by black magic when he was young.
He became more and more cold, irritable and extreme. As long as a small thing didn't go his way, he would be very impatient.
These are the sequelae of learning black magic.
In Grindelwald's view, the mind controls magic, and magic can also pollute the mind.
When you use the killing spell with a strong killing intention, the killing spell will "strengthen" this killing intention and engrave it deep in your heart.
Again and again.
Until the heart completely falls into the abyss of darkness.
This also makes Andy more vigilant about black magic.
However, human nature is originally divided into good and evil. People cannot be evil, but they cannot be too kind.
Kindness can overwhelm evil, but it cannot eliminate evil.
"I can practice black magic." Andy thought.
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..."
"It's a good opportunity to ask Grindelwald."
...
Christmas passed quickly.
On the night of December 29, Andy completed the second black magic transformation ritual.
On January 5, Andy completed the third black magic transformation ritual.
For Andy, this Christmas holiday is like opening a new version.
In addition to the 'talent point system' that comes with the time travel, Andy got the second golden finger in his life - the portable grandfather.
】
The main character with two golden fingers - Andy Collins, at this moment, only feels that his future is bright.
During this period, Andy and Grindelwald talked about magic transformation, magic transformation to black magic, and then from black magic to the situation in the magic world.
They talked about almost everything.
Andy recorded his conversation with Grindelwald every day, on the one hand to check whether this old guy had cheated him, and on the other hand to summarize.
This old guy not only has a high level of black magic attainments, but he has also been the leader of the evil forces. During the years he traveled across Europe, he met many interesting people and things, and learned many ancient secrets.
All of these can bring new inspiration to Andy.
In just two weeks of vacation, although Andy did not make much progress in strength, his vision and knowledge have been greatly expanded.
Many magical knowledge that seemed quite complicated in the past are now clear and understandable.
Andy feels that he has changed a lot!
And this is a change from the inside out.
In addition, Andy also took the time to make an appointment with Hermione twice.
The first time was to go to the Muggle library to check information, and the second time was just a simple date.
On January 6, Hogwarts opened.
Andy boarded the express train to Hogwarts again.
Wow——
Andy casually opened the door of a carriage, "Let's take this 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 proficient."
Andy raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Practice makes perfect... and this trick is very cool."
Hermione glanced at Andy and suddenly said: "You seem to be a little different."
"Me?"
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, that 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!
