Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"Thank you, Louis."

On the stone steps of Nurmengard Prison, Dumbledore thanked Louis for the first time.

"You did a good job. Maybe he is right. I really can't face this next disaster alone."

Louis didn't say anything. He knew that the entanglement between Dumbledore and Grindelwald could not be resolved in a few words. Perhaps only when they really faced a common enemy could the two former friends and lovers be reunited.

Let's stand together on the same front.

Nurmengard Prison is even bigger than what Louis has seen. The stone stairs here will change, just like Hogwarts. The scene when you come is slightly different from when you leave.

But Dumbledore didn't care. After all, this prison was very familiar to him. Even if it took different paths, he was confident that he could get out.

Just as the two were passing by the second floor of the prison, in the room facing the stairs, a strange symbol caught Louis' eyes.

"Professor, please wait for me."

The symbols were twinkling with starlight, appearing extremely bright in the dark Nurmengard Prison.

The iron door was not locked, so he pushed it gently and entered the small cell.

The strange symbols on the stone wall touched Louis' nerves, leading the fourteen-year-old boy to discover them. As Louis walked in, Dumbledore behind him also entered this special cell.

"Interesting, really interesting...Louis, please give up."

This top white wizard noticed an abnormality as soon as he entered the door. He is very sensitive to magic.

The Elder Wand was glowing and drawing a circle in the air. Louis was still confused about what Dumbledore was doing. Suddenly, the scenery in front of him began to float.

Dense symbols gradually appeared on those originally bare walls. These symbols were of the same origin as what Louis had seen before. The number was so large that it almost covered three walls of the entire cell plus a ceiling.

"What's this?"

"Ancient Arabic." Dumbledore said briefly. The old man was proficient in many languages, and was especially interested in niche foreign languages.

"Very exquisite magic." He not only praised it, but "If the wizard's own magic power is weak or has no potential, he would have no chance of discovering that there is something hidden in it."

"But who did this?"

"I didn't know that Nurmengard used to imprison people who opposed Grindelwald. When there were a large number of people, it almost filled the entire prison." Dumbledore explained, "That was fifty years ago.

After Grindelwald failed, all the imprisoned opponents were released."

Louis looked at the ancient Arabic texts carefully. It was naturally impossible for him to understand these ancient texts, not to mention that they were more like Muggle texts.

But when he concentrated on observing, these words gradually turned into English in his mind, and everything seemed to become easier to understand.

"Ani... Animag... Animagus?"

He couldn't help but read the words he saw, and then he was surprised.

"Not only Animagus, but here are recorded the magic spells and some learning methods about all Animagus." Dumbledore looked around, and words were not an obstacle to him.

"Others are scattered records, the most detailed of which are the three major Magus in the wizarding world." He pointed to the three walls, "Animagus, Disguise Magus and Phantom Magus.

"

One wall corresponds to a philosophy of Magus practice. Except for the incantations and writings that record the disguise of Magus, which are relatively sparse, the other two walls are full of writings.

However, what puzzles Lewis is, what is the Phantom Magus in Dumbledore's mouth?

"Magus is a type of advanced transfiguration. It is extremely profound. Practicing Magus is also an extremely dangerous behavior, especially Animagus, the most advanced form of Magus." Dumbledore paused.

After a moment, he seemed to be referring to something, "So, there are no books recording the practice of Animagus in Hogwarts."

Hogwarts does not exist? This surprised Louis. The non-existence Dumbledore mentioned should include the restricted book area and the collection of books in his own principal's office, but even the books about Horcruxes are in Hogwarts.

Wait, if the book about learning Animagus does not exist at Hogwarts, how did James Potter and Sirius learn it?

Lewis looked at Dumbledore and found the answer in his eyes almost at the same time.

Also, Animagus is such a profound and dangerous magic. There are no more than seven registered wizards in the UK. Just two of them, underage wizards, can't do it even if they have excellent academic performance. As the principal, Dumbledore

A helping hand will come from the darkness.

"Almost all Disguise Maggs are born, and it is unlikely to be acquired through magical learning. Therefore, the research on Disguise Maggs is naturally the least."

Dumbledore continued to explain, which reminded Louis of Tonks, the fussy but kind-hearted Auror who was perfectly disguised. She was a natural Metamorphmagus.

"The most mysterious one is the Phantom Magus, which is almost extinct in the wizarding world." He looked at the last wall, "The learning of the Phantom Magus is very demanding. It requires the wizard to be 100% integrated with the natural environment in order for the wizard to complete it.

The most perfect disguise.”

"Phantom Magus is an extremely advanced camouflage technique. You can understand it as transforming into any object in the environment without being discovered by any magic. There is no magic fluctuation." Dumbledore looked at the wall,

"Ordinary transfiguration cannot achieve this. The abnormal magical power it generates will be caught by wizards with sensitive magic perception."

"Isn't that the same as the Disappearance Curse?"

"More advanced than the Disillusionment Curse." Dumbledore turned sideways and said, "The magic of human appearance cannot deal with the Phantom Magus. This is an absolute fusion of the environment."

It's scary, think about it, if Phantom Magus was used as an assassin, it would be really murderous and invisible.

Louis shuddered. If he had a choice, he would definitely want to become Phantom Magus, but the harsh training conditions directly made him feel depressed.

First of all, you need to have a 100% affinity for the natural environment and be able to feel the power from nature with your whole body. Louis is completely unqualified for this. Regardless of the fact that he is only an underage wizard and his magic power is not yet completely stable. He can only use the power in his body.

Magical power is taxing enough.

Dumbledore on the side was even less interested in practicing. After all, he was old and had long lost the arrogance of his youth.

However, there was one person who was a suitable candidate. While thinking about it, Louis called out the little druid from his eternal stone.

Farmiga had just woken up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw that he appeared in the dark cage, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Druid? Yes, it is indeed a good material."
