HP Approaches the Magic World

"You want..." The Sorting Hat was obviously very wary: "What are you asking?"

Jon looked around and finally couldn't find where the Sorting Hat's ears were, so he finally chose to put the Sorting Hat on his head and let it read his thoughts.

"So you want this kind of medicine that can quickly cure your injuries? But to be honest, such medicines are very precious. If you want such a potion, why don't you go to Professor Snape?"

Listening to the voice of the Sorting Hat coming from his mind, Jon answered with his thoughts.

"The magic system I learned is an ancient magic system. There are system incompatibility issues with Professor Snape himself. The most important thing is that ordinary potions are just that. Potions like this involve life safety issues.

, I had to find some magic potions passed down from ancient times. After all, once the magic powers conflict, I will be the one who suffers."

"There should indeed be records in Hogwarts, but you are definitely looking for the wrong one when you come to me.

I'm just the Sorting Hat. If you ask me questions about various students, I might be able to answer some questions, but as for the secrets about potions in the school, you should only ask the principal.

And to be honest, even if the magic systems are different, Professor Sprout and Professor Snape are both people who can give you some good advice on potions.

Do you want to get out of here first?

The principal's phoenix has been in a bad state recently. Because of this, the principal left the school to find magic medicine for it. He will not be back in a short time."

"oh?"

Jon took off his hat and put it aside, then turned to look at the bird's nest next to Dumbledore's desk.

He had heard early on that the patron saint of the Dumbledore family was the phoenix, and he also knew the status of creatures like the phoenix in the magical world. He also learned from Grindelwald that the existence of the phoenix could be

inherited.

This magical creature is somewhat similar to the phoenix in Chinese mythology, but as long as you are familiar with the history of the magical world, you will know that the two belong to completely different magic systems.

First of all, the phoenix is ​​a member of the Greek mythology system, and Jon and Seshatri have recently conducted extremely detailed research on the deceased ancient Egyptian pantheon, and have also found some phoenixes and some ancient Egyptian gods.

association.

Judging from the records of the Phoenix's appearance in classics, many scholars believe that the Phoenix may have been introduced to Greece from Bennu in Egyptian mythology.

Jon has no objections to this point. After all, after the ancient Greek pantheon defeated the ancient Egyptian pantheon, it crookedly moved many of the beliefs of the ancient Egyptian pantheon under its own pantheon. There is this.

It is not an incomprehensible thing that mythical creatures were transferred from ancient Egypt.

According to records in the history of magic books, creatures like the Phoenix are representatives of reincarnation.

Every five hundred years or so, the phoenix will collect various fragrant branches or grass blades, stack them up and set them on fire. In the final ashes, reborn baby birds will appear.

This concept is very consistent with the characteristics of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. After all, what those gods pursue are resurrection from the dead and eternal life.

The ancient Egyptians regarded the sunbird as a symbol of the sun god Ra, and there is a symbol of this sunbird in the Sun Temple in Heliopolis.

At the same time, because they can rise from the dead, they are often regarded as symbols of Osiris, the god of the underworld, and this is why Jon pays special attention to them.

Similar bird images have been recorded in various countries around the world, such as the Garuda in ancient India, the Golden Crow in ancient China, etc. Jon has always been curious about this magical creature, but he never expected that it would be here today.

see.

Although, this bird's feathers are almost gone.

But this also reflects from the side that this bird is about to be resurrected.

If you want to be resurrected, you must die first. For a life like the Phoenix, death is actually not an unacceptable thing. It is as simple as eating and drinking water for humans, but it is a little more troublesome.

Jon has clearly been here too long.

So much so that when he was observing the Phoenix attentively, he could still hear the rare whispering sound coming from around him. This sound was obviously coming from the portraits around him, the sleeping principals.

They have woken up now, but now that Jon is here they have no way to communicate.

But what?

Jon felt that such behavior was meaningless. It was not like he had never seen these principals before. Dumbledore never avoided him when discussing matters with the principals. Moreover, everyone knew that there was no point in pretending to sleep.

necessary.

Then, Jon suddenly remembered something.

He came to see Dumbledore at this moment, firstly because he had some psychological problems that needed to be rectified recently, and secondly because he wanted to get some benefits from Dumbledore.

Because the starting point for everything he and Seshatri do, whether it is research or other things, is to save their lives, and the appearance of Grindelwald has improved their attack skills.

Some abilities, so Jon thought about why they couldn't increase the healing power a little instead of wondering how to come back to life after death.

Thinking of this, Jon thought of the restoration potion he just mentioned to the Sorting Hat.

There was definitely nothing Helga could do. Because of Helga's current condition, he could no longer concentrate on preparing special potions for him. He could only find some substitutes from mass-produced ones.

After all, Hogwarts has been inherited for so many years and has fought wars with the Holy See for so many years. The reserves for war are quite sufficient.

Although there are some potions that cannot be used by today's wizards, they will indeed have some miraculous effects on Jon.

He lingered by the wall of the principal's office, scanning his eyes among the portraits of the principals, trying to find someone he could trust.

To be honest, except for the portraits of Helga and Gryffindor, the early principals and founders of Hogwarts are missing a lot.

This is because Hogwarts served as the main guidance venue for the war between wizards and the Holy See from its founding to the 16th century. Due to the war, it was impossible to leave the portrait of the principal intact until the early 16th century.

Hogwarts had just returned to stability. The portraits of the principals before that were all incomplete, and their reigns were not continuous.
