HP Approaches the Magical World

There is nothing particularly strange in the drawer.

"A monocle?"

Were eyes already invented in Ravenclaw's time?

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

Parchment is much tougher.

The manuscripts were all written in ancient runes. Jon hadn't learned much about this kind of magic script, so he basically couldn't understand it.

But there are people on the wall who understand.

"Hmm... this manuscript is nothing, it's just the design idea for the glasses. This is the last magic item that Rowena made during his lifetime."

"Magic item?"

Jon's heart skipped a beat. Magic items are not the same as alchemy items. Alchemy items are only common tools used by wizards, and everything 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 belong to the category of magical items. In addition to some simple magical powers and special properties, most of these items also have a certain amount of self-will.

For example, the sorting hat, the sword of Gryffindor, the crown of Ravenclaw that increases wisdom, the golden cup that can automatically assist elves in delivering food, and the magical portraits of the wizarding world.

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

Just like the lowest magic item like a magic portrait, it also stores a certain amount of human consciousness.

Will the magical items made by Ravenclaw store a part of Ravenclaw's soul like their own ancestors?

"No, there isn't a trace of Rowena's soul in it."

Although Helga lives inside the portrait, she can feel the world outside the portrait. This is something that can only be done with the essence of the soul, and it is incomparably different from ordinary portraits empowered by magic.

"If Rowena really wants to stay, even if her health is already very bad, she won't really die." Helga's voice suddenly became serious: "She is a master of charms, There is also a lot of research on the curse of life, and if she doesn't want to die, she can even transform into an undead creature—that is much more advanced than the ghosts in the castle and the Voldemort Horcrux you mentioned."

"Then why didn't she stay? Better to be alive than dead?"

Helga shook her head: "Some people live because they are reluctant, but when we are in our position, the way of looking at the world and perception will become different..."

"But the ants still steal their lives."

"What?"

"There is an old saying in China that ants still steal their lives, so people cherish life even more." Jon stroked the glasses frame in his hand: "You know, I have some blood from the East."

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

Helga nodded and stopped entangled in this question: "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 we used to see the world, you will Discover that life and death are nothing more than that."

"To live or to die, that's not the question."

Jon sat behind the desk with an expression of listening attentively. After all, Helga seldom mentioned about their legendary wizards back then.

"The wizard's magic power comes from this world, so after the wizard dies, the magic power will return to this world, but sometimes the soul of the wizard will be preserved by his own magic power by chance and become a ghost, or something else , so, are you you, or your magic power?"

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

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

Why do I think so much about who am I?

I am who I am, so be it.

This is the world of magic, so what's the use of engaging in so many dialectics?

"You are you now, what about your last life?"

Jon froze.

"Since death exists, reincarnation should exist. Magic power comes into the wizard's body and returns to the place where it came from after the wizard dies. This is a cycle, and the soul of a creature is suitable for the existence of no difference in magic power. .”

"Imagine, after you die, your soul is ground into nothingness by the will of the world, and then these energies are disrupted and reorganized, and finally a new life soul appears, does this possibility exist?"

"But maybe it's only possible, right? Whether it's a wizard or a Muggle, no one has ever been able to prove that there are higher-level existences than humans in this world."

"Has anyone proved that they don't exist?"

Jon is not 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 bottlenecks, as if there was a lock, locked tightly It's a sad thing that we have stepped up the ladder of wizards."

"But what hope is there in choosing death?"

Jon really didn't understand that he had died once in this matter—even according to Helga, his memory was just the residue of the memory of the last person who died—so he was very concerned about the matter of being alive. Things are obsessive.

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

If possible, he even wants to take a look outside the world.

"There is no need for hope, because they are already the 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, there is actually no legendary wizard who really wants to teach students. Although I am special, I am full of yearning for the pinnacle of wizards, let alone Rowena and the others who are naturally magical. Highly rated wizard."

"The goal of wizards is eternal magic. Upwards are the stars in the sky, downwards is the endless deep sea. The higher you stand, the more you don't know. Hogwarts was founded to allow wizards to have a safer research. Conditions, because sometimes a person's strength is not enough, even if it is 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 will never be able to touch them... before you Not being able to touch it in front of you is more desperate than not being able to see it."
