HP Approaches the Magic World

There is nothing particularly strange in the drawer.

"A monocle?"

In Ravenclaw's time, had eyes been invented?

Jon carefully grasped the wooden glasses frame that looked like it was about to rot, placed it gently on the table, and then took out a dozen manuscripts pressed under the glasses.

Parchment paper is much tougher.

The manuscripts are all written in ancient runes. Jon has not learned much about this kind of magical writing and can hardly understand it.

But there are people on the wall who understand.

"Well...this manuscript doesn't mean anything. It's just the design idea for the glasses. This was the last magic item Rowena made before his death."

"Magic item?"

Jon's heart skipped a beat. Magic items are different from alchemy items. Alchemy items are only common tools used by wizards, and anything that can be called a "magic item" is not an ordinary item.

The relics left by the four founders of Hogwarts in the castle can all be classified as magic items. In addition to possessing some simple magical power and special properties, most of these items also have a certain degree of self-will.

For example, the Sorting Hat, the Sword of Gryffindor, the Ravenclaw Crown that increases wisdom, the gold cup that can automatically assist elves in delivering food, and those magical portraits in the wizarding world.

It may not have any special power, but it must have extraordinary characteristics.

Just like the lowest magic items like magic portraits, they also store a certain amount of human consciousness.

Could it be that the magic items created by Ravenclaw's own hands store a part of Ravenclaw's soul just like their ancestors?

"No, there is no trace of Rowena's soul in it."

Although Helga lives in the portrait, she can feel the world outside the portrait. This is something that can only be done by possessing the essence of the soul. It is very different from ordinary portraits that are empowered by magic.

"If Rowena really wants to stay, even if she is in very bad health, she will not really die." Helga's voice suddenly became serious when she spoke: "She is a master of magic.

There is also a lot involved in the forbidden life curse. If she doesn't want to die, she can even transform into an undead creature - that is much more advanced than the Voldemort's Horcrux that the ghosts in the castle told you about."

"Then why doesn't she stay? Life is better than death, right?"

Helga shook her head: "Some people live because they are reluctant to give up, but when we are in our position, the way we look at the world and our perceptions will become different..."

"But the ants still live in vain."

"What?"

"There is an old saying in China, ants can live in vain, so people cherish life even more." Jon rubbed the glasses frame in his hand: "You know, I have some ancestry from the East."

"The East is indeed a magical place. There are many philosophers there, but it's a pity that I have never visited them."

Helga nodded and stopped lingering on this issue: "But Rowena is not an ant, she is also a witch who has seen the world from the top of the world. When you look at the world from the perspective of how we looked at the world back then, you will

Discover that life and death are nothing more than this.”

"To live or to die, that is not a question."

Jon sat behind the desk with an expression of all ears. After all, Helga rarely mentioned anything about their legendary wizards back then.

"The wizard's magic comes from this world, so after the wizard dies, the magic will return to this world, but sometimes by chance, the wizard's soul is preserved by his own magic and becomes a ghost, or something else.

, so, is it you, or is it your magic?"

Jon shook his head, obviously, he didn't understand.

There are too many twists and turns in philosophical questions, and he is not good at them at all.

Why do I think so much about who am I?

I am who I am, no matter what.

This is a magical world, what is the use of so many dialectics?

"You are who you are now, what about your previous life?"

Jon was stunned.

"Since death exists, reincarnation should exist. Magic power comes to the wizard's body and returns to where they came from after the wizard dies. This is a cycle, and the soul of a creature is suitable for existence where magic power is essentially the same.

.”

"Imagine that after you die, your soul is ground into nothingness by the will of the world, and then the energy is disrupted and reorganized, and finally a new life soul appears. Is this possibility possible?"

"But it can only be possible, right? No matter wizards or Muggles, no one has ever been able to prove that there are existences more advanced than humans in this world."

"Has anyone ever proven that they don't exist?"

Jon isn't talking.

"When I became a legendary witch, my research on the nature of magic was not outstanding, but Rowena and Salazar were different. They both witnessed their own magic bottleneck, as if there was a lock, locking it tightly.

It’s a very sad thing to take wizards further up the ladder.”

"But what hope is there if you choose death?"

Jon really didn't understand this matter. He had died once - even according to Helga, his memory was just the residue of the memory of the last person who died that had not been washed away - so he had no idea about living.

Things are full of obsession.

If you can live, try not to die. This world is so wonderful, you must take a good look at it.

If possible, he would even like to go and see the outside world.

"There is no need for any hope, because they were already at their most desperate at that time."

Helga's voice echoed in the empty study, and Jon felt that the voice seemed to trigger something, and the whole study was filled with a strange sadness.

"Except for those wizards who are blinded by desire, in fact, no legendary wizard really wants to teach students. Although I am special, I am also full of yearning for the peak of wizards, not to mention Rowena's kind of magic genius.

A wizard with a very high score."

"The goal of wizards is eternal magic. Up are the stars in the sky, and down are the endless deep seas. The higher you stand, the more things you don't know. Hogwarts was founded to allow wizards to have safer research.

Conditions, because sometimes a person's strength is not enough, even a legendary wizard, his strength will appear weak and weak at certain moments."

"But when Rowena and the others saw the outline of the essence of magic, they found that it was already the limit, just like you can see the stars clearly from the tower of Hogwarts, but you can never touch them...

Not being able to touch it is even more despairing than not being able to see it.”
