The Bard at Hogwarts

Magic, emotions, heart...

Ino thought carefully about what Professor Flitwick said.

To be honest, he has never thought about these issues, and he also knows that there is no concept of specific magic power in the HP world, and it is roughly... divided by age.

As the little wizard grows older, the magic power in his body also increases. When the little wizard reaches adulthood, the magic power will tend to be saturated, neither increasing nor decreasing.

Only a handful of people can break through this limit and continue to increase their magic power.

But at this moment, Professor Flitwick suddenly brought up this topic, and Ino couldn't help but think about what role magic played.

One thing he was 100% sure of was that magic and spells were really two different things.

To put it metaphorically, magic power is more like an honorary title. Different magic powers correspond to different titles.

And the magic spell released by a wizard with this honorary title will be stronger. Although wizards without this title can still cast spells, the effect will be much worse.

However, the title is just a title, it is not a consumable.

Therefore, I have never heard of such nonsense as a wizard who ran out of magic power.

…

A long while.

Ino slowly raised his head.

"Professor, I don't quite understand. Although I have seen some records in books that some magic spells need to match the wizard's emotions to be released, but this does not seem to mean that magic has emotions."

"Yes, emotions. I'm glad that you have the habit of going to the library to read in the first grade." Professor Flitwick said with a smile.

"Do you know why we begin to emphasize the qualities of the four houses from the moment the young wizards enter Hogwarts? Ravenclaw's wisdom, Gryffindor's bravery, Slytherin's shrewdness, and Hufflepuff's loyalty ”

Ino opened her mouth to say something, but Professor Flitwick's voice came to her ears again.

"Hahaha, yes! I used my shrewdness." Professor Flitwick had an expression as if he had succeeded in a prank.

"Do you think I would say ambition? That's a fool's opinion. Although most of the little wizards who were divided into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat, they are eager to make a career in their hearts, and they all have clear demands. They want to Fame, wealth, even...even more."

Having said this, Professor Flitwick paused for a moment, as if to give Ino some time to think.

"But there is another kind of people who are sorted into Slytherin. Although their number is pitifully small, you can't even see one for several years. But this kind of people do exist. In their hearts, they often have something they clearly don't want. So I used shrewdness.”

"Wanting wealth and not wanting poverty are actually the same. Such shrewd little wizards with a strong 'not wanting' will be designated as Slytherin by the Sorting Hat, because the hat only detects emotions."

At this point, Professor Flitwick suddenly said slowly in a tone reminiscing about the past:

"Some people want eternal life, and some people don't want to die. How ironic! Ambition and shrewdness are expressed in different ways, but they achieve exactly the same effect."

As Professor Flitwick finished speaking.

At that moment, Ino had a feeling of seeing through the fog and finally seeing the truth.

He knew why he entered Slytherin, and that was the strong desire and strong 'not wanting' in his heart.

Subconsciously, he didn't want to get involved in the plot, didn't want to get close to Harry, didn't want to participate in the future decisive battle, and didn't want to be harmed...

Among the ignorant little wizards, a little wizard with such strong subjective emotions suddenly appeared, and the layers were added up.

Perhaps in the emotional screening of the branch, it is a kind of "wanting to influence the plot, wanting to dominate Harry, wanting to control destiny, and even wanting to control the future direction..."

It would be unreasonable for such a person not to join Slytherin.

…

a long time.

"Thank you! Professor! I probably understand." Ino said sincerely.

"You're welcome, this is your responsibility as a professor." Professor Flitwick waved his hand indifferently.

"But that's not the point. What I want to tell you is that the emotion of magic is related to the quality of the academy."

Speaking of this, Professor Flitwick sighed.

"In the past... it was always difficult for young wizards to find their own qualities, which often led them to go astray. Until the four founders established Hogwarts, we spent seven years subtly letting students shape their qualities. and magic emotions.”

"This is a process, and there is no need to say anything more. But your magic growth is a bit unexpected, and I'm worried that the shaping process can't keep up... This is the purpose of stopping you today."

…

Ino left the Charms office.

The exchange with Professor Flitwick just now made him re-understand magic, or in other words, re-understand the wizards as a group.

It turns out that sensibility can also be cultivated from an early age.

The four types of colleges at Hogwarts are somewhat similar to Muggle education in establishing three correct views.

The purpose of Professor Flitwick is also the same. To put it bluntly, the automatic education mode cannot keep up with the growth of magic power, and now it needs to be connected manually.

"If I could do it over again, I would definitely enter Ravenclaw..."

Walking on the lawn outside the castle, Ino couldn't help but sigh.

Although Professor Flitwick's worries were somewhat unnecessary, he still thanked him. This was not just a matter of solving problems between teachers and students, but also a real concern.

Because the so-called black wizard is actually the product of distorted magic emotions, and the ten-year-old wizard is the most likely to have a distorted mind.

But for a person with wisdom, the most important thing is the mind and the three views that have been shaped.

…

Outside the castle, Ino walked along the gravel path.

Unconsciously, a dense forest blocked his way.

"Hey! Freshman check-in point..."

Ino was not interested in this forbidden forest at all, just like he didn't understand why many people didn't go to the castle during the day, but were keen on night tours.

But to be honest, standing outside the forbidden forest, looking at the deep and mysterious forest, it feels like Alice in Wonderland. Of course, if you ignore the werewolves, trolls, and black wizards in the forbidden forest...

Suddenly, Ino stood there with a stiff expression.

What you think is what you want. Just a stroll by the forest, now it has really become a jungle adventure.

In front of him was Quirrell, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he didn't seem to expect that someone would wait at the gate of the Forbidden Forest.

The air suddenly became quiet.

When their eyes met, both of them were a little caught off guard, so that the scene fell into a strange stalemate for a short time.

Quirrell felt that his mind was a little confused. The fight with the adult unicorn just now had exhausted him, and there was also the curse in the unicorn's blood.

At this moment, facing the student who suddenly appeared, he subconsciously reached for his wand.

'Idiot! What are you doing in broad daylight? Hurry up and say hello, and then go back. '

The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind made Quirrell regain his sanity, and at the same time he was afraid of his actions just now.

If he really attacked the students of Hogwarts here, he would probably save even the trial process, and send him to Azkaban if he was caught, and directly give him the Dementor's Kiss.

...

"Good morning! Professor Quirrell!"

After a brief shock, Ino was the first to break the calm, and at the same time he had already grasped the wand in his right hand.

As for his left hand, it had already quietly reached for the inner pocket.

For a moment, he really felt that Quirrell wanted to take action.

"Hello... Hello! Students... Don't go near the Forbidden Forest. I have something... to do. Goodbye!"
