Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The night was already very late, and even the people in the portraits of past principals on the wall were dozing off, but the two people sitting at the table could not see any signs of sleepiness.

Just full of confusion.

"Sir, was the last scene we saw when his magic power rioted?" Harry asked, frowning.

"Yes." Dumbledore sighed and said, "Harry, how much do you know about magic riots?"

"I only know that this is something that will inevitably happen to wizards as they grow up. If there is a magic riot, it means that this person has the talent to use magic." Harry said.

Dumbledore shook his head slightly and waved his hand. Two cups appeared on the table, filled with lemon tea.He picked up the cup and took a sip, and said: "You are right, magic riot is an important basis for judging whether a child has the talent to become a wizard. No one knows when it will happen, and no one knows how it will happen. Form appears, but no matter what, a situation like Ike’s is also very exaggerated.”

"Then what does this mean?"

"Although there is not enough evidence to explain the relationship between the scale and power of the magic riot and the talent of the wizard itself, according to the general understanding of the magic world, that level of magic riot is enough to illustrate Ike's talent." Dumbledore said, "What happened later also proves this point."

He was silent for a moment before asking: "I don't know if you have noticed one detail: Do you still remember his last look?"

"Remember." Harry nodded, but he didn't know what words to use to describe that look.There were too many emotions mixed into it, and it was so complicated that he couldn't understand it at all.

"This is what puzzles me the most," Dumbledore said. "Children's eyes should be clear and pure. How could a five-year-old have such eyes?"

"There must be secrets here that we don't know, but unfortunately, we can't know the truth."

As he spoke, Dumbledore changed his tone and said, "However, I have some guesses about the weird rain and the surprisingly long road..."

"What is it, sir?" Harry asked immediately after hearing this. He was very curious about it. "Is it some kind of magic?"

"You can say that." Dumbledore paused before continuing, "You should have learned it in the history of magic class. The magic we use now is not inherited from ancient times. Over a long period of time, we have lost A lot, so to speak, maybe only [-] percent has survived, maybe a little less.”

"Nowadays, many wizards are keen on pursuing ancient magic. In this process, they mainly go through two ways... Harry, do you know what it is?"

"Ancient runes? But I don't know about the other one, sir." Harry replied, shaking his head.

"It's a relic." Dumbledore pushed up his glasses and said, "Do you remember Bill's previous job?"

"Pyramid Curse Breaker? Ron and the others also traveled there."

"Yes, in a sense, the pyramid can also be regarded as a kind of relic." Dumbledore said, "It is full of all kinds of curses and magic that we cannot understand and master now, most of which are It is dangerous and fatal. And due to the faults in magic inheritance, we cannot accurately understand those magics and curses, so we understand the birth of the spellcaster."

"It can be said that Bill's previous job was actually very dangerous. You spent so much time with him during the summer vacation, you should have noticed the scars on his body..." Seeing Harry nod, Dumbledore said, "Those are all things he left behind at work."

He paused, as if to give Harry some time to digest the information, and then continued: "What I mean by saying this is actually to tell you that there are still many things in this world that we don't understand. , modern magic and ancient magic are also two completely different systems..."

"Do you think what caused that was an ancient magic unknown to us?" Harry asked.

"This is the only more reasonable explanation." Dumbledore paused and his tone became more serious, "Harry, as I said, Ike may be a more dangerous person than Voldemort, just like This memory is full of fog that we cannot see through..."

"The reason I show you this is actually to let you know that you must be careful when facing him."

"I will, sir." Harry nodded solemnly.Seeing this, Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at the time, showed a relaxed expression, and said, "Okay, it's very late now. Let's stop here today. It's time for you to go back and have a good sleep."

"I hope you have sweet dreams, Harry."

"Same to you, sir."

As Harry said, he had a very peaceful sleep at night, and when he woke up in the morning he just felt refreshed.However, because there were many people at breakfast and they were afraid of being heard by others, they did not tell Hermione and Ron what they saw last night until they were on their way to the greenhouse where the herb class was held.

The greenhouse where the sixth graders had their classes was far away, and the weather was not very good, so it took them longer than usual to find the greenhouse.However, this was not enough for him to finish everything, and it was not until a long time after class that he finished.

"How terrifying, You-Know-Who in your youth," Ron said softly, putting protective gloves on his hands.

They have to deal with knotweed, a more dangerous plant.It looks like a lumpy stump, but it is very aggressive.Their goal is to extract a grapefruit-sized pod from the tightly wound branches with spikes.

It's very dangerous, someone will always get bruised by those branches.Just like Neville, who had taken out a pod next to him, there were a few blood stains on half of his face, which looked terrible.

Looking at Neville's miserable state, Ron couldn't help but shudder, and turned to Harry and asked softly: "Actually, I have always been confused, why did Dumbledore let you see this? I mean , it’s interesting, but what’s the use? It won’t give you the power to defeat the mysterious man, right?”

"I don't know." Harry shook his head and put on a protective mask, "But he said it was very important and would help me survive."

"And I think it can also help me understand the enemy better and discover their weaknesses."

"Then did you find out?" Ron asked again.

"Not yet," Harry said and sighed, putting on his goggles.Looking at Hermione inadvertently, I realized that she was surprisingly quiet, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you, Hermione?"

Hermione was wearing a protective mask and goggles, and her voice was muffled, but both Harry and Ron could tell there was something wrong with her tone, as if she was very unhappy.

"So, Dumbledore went to see Ms. Julianne, right?" Hermione said calmly.
