Study Days at Hogwarts

Professor Flitwick is having trouble with me?

Albert was a little surprised, because his interaction with Professor Charms was actually not that great, at least not so good that the other party would invite him for afternoon tea.

It should be about the thesis.

This is a good opportunity. Maybe I can find an excuse to ask Professor Flitwick for a signature for borrowing books from the restricted area.

The task of borrowing books from the forbidden book area on the task panel is almost completed.

But what excuse is appropriate?

On the way to Professor Charms' office on the eighth floor of the west tower, Albert had been thinking about this problem. When he knocked on the wooden door of Professor Flitwick's office, he still had no good solution.

"Professor, what do you want from me?" Albert entered Professor Flitwick's office for the first time, and it felt a little special to him here. Probably because of Professor Flitwick's height, there are stairs on the bookshelf that can be moved at will. The chair where Professor Flitwick sits has been raised, and there is a bench beside the chair that can be used to rest his feet.

"Anderson, sit down!" Professor Flitwick said calmly: "The paper you wrote last time was published in Curse Innovation."

As he spoke, he placed the magazine in front of Albert and turned to the paper page.

"Katrina just told me."

"It's like this. The editor-in-chief of "Charmed Innovation" wanted to get to know you, so he sent me a letter." Professor Flitwick handed the letter to Albert and continued: "He probably thought that he could give it to you directly. It’s a little presumptuous to send a letter.”

"I can understand. If he did that, I would probably think he was a liar." Albert took the letter and looked at Professor Flitwick and asked, "Can I open it now?"

"Oh, of course."

Albert opened the letter and glanced at the contents. The owner of the letter pointed out a few minor flaws in his paper in a very tactful tone, and showed his willingness to exchange letters with him. The other party also expressed the hope that he would Be able to continue to publish papers in Magic Innovation.

This letter gave Albert the feeling that Mr. Elphias was a little too enthusiastic.

"The editor-in-chief of "Charmed Innovation" doesn't seem to be named Ephias Dorje?" Albert raised his head in confusion and asked Professor Flitwick.

"Ephias is indeed not the editor-in-chief, but he is the one who can really influence the magazine "Magic Innovation"." Professor Flitwick explained.

Recommend, the book chasing app I am using recently, [\\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app\\\\] caches reading books and reads them offline!

"I understand." Albert nodded to show that he understood.

"Anderson, whether you want to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future or specialize in magic, there is no harm in getting in touch with people in this field." Professor Flitwick reminded him kindly.

"Thank you, Professor." Although Albert had no intention of developing in this direction, he still did not forget to express his gratitude to the other party. He knew that Professor Flitwick said these out of good intentions.

"By the way, Professor, I saw two profound magic spells in the library a while ago."

"A profound curse?" Professor Flitwick couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It's the Patronus Charm and the Red Loyalty Curse." Albert said, "I'm very interested in them, but I can only find information about the Patronus Charm. Do you know where I can find information about the Red Loyalty Curse?"

Professor Flitwick was a little stunned. He had never thought that Albert had already begun to come into contact with these advanced magics. He asked tentatively, "Have you started learning the Patronus Charm?"

"Well, I started trying to practice it two weeks ago. This magic is a bit difficult..." Albert summarized a little and said, "It is said that after this spell is successful, it can summon a physical guardian angel, but I can't quite understand it. What does this sentence mean...does it mean that after reciting the curse, the curse will no longer emit a ball of white light, but will condense into a physical guardian angel?"

Albert began to steer the conversation in the direction he needed.

"Your idea is not wrong. However, the Patronus Charm is a very advanced magic, which is usually used to resist dementors." Professor Flitwick thought for a while and suggested: "When casting the spell, you You need to concentrate and think about the happiest things in your heart, because the Patronus Spell advocates happiness and hope, but it requires very powerful magical power as a foundation. This spell may be too forced for you now. Even for the time being. Don’t worry if you can’t summon a physical guardian angel, you still have a lot of room for growth.”

"I know." Albert nodded and continued to ask: "Where is the Red Loyalty Curse? It is said that it is a powerful and complex protection magic."

"Yes, it's very complicated." Professor Flitwick seemed to be considering whether to tell Albert about it. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "It involves using magic to hide a secret in the soul of a living person?"

"Hide secrets in your soul?"

"Yes, hide this secret in the heart of the chosen secret keeper. From now on, it will be impossible for others to discover the secret. Unless, of course, the secret keeper intentionally leaks it."

"So, the Red Loyalty Curse is suitable for hiding things?" Albert pretended that he didn't understand. In fact, he was really a little confused.

He remembered that the Red Loyalty Charm can hide people so that no one can find them except the secret keeper. According to Professor Flitwick, this spell seems to have other uses, or his original understanding of the Red Loyalty Charm was wrong.

"Of course, you are not wrong to understand it this way." Professor Flitwick nodded after being silent for a few seconds.

"Professor, do you know this magic?" Albert suddenly asked: "I want to learn this magic."

"Yes, yes, but..." Professor Flitwick stared at Albert and asked, "The Fidelity Charm is too difficult for you now. By the way, what do you want to use it to hide?"

"My diary." Albert said without hesitation: "This way, I don't need to worry about anyone peeking at the diary."

Professor Flitwick was speechless. He really couldn't understand Albert's thinking mode.

Albert noticed Professor Flitwick's silence and continued to ask, "Professor, is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also protected by the Fidelity Charm?"

"No, the scope of Hogwarts is too large, and after the death of the Secret Keeper, everyone who knows its existence will automatically become the Secret Keeper. The more people who know about it, the more powerful it will be. Weakened and no longer reliable." Professor Flitwick shook his head.

"I still want to learn this spell, can you teach me?" Albert said, "I think this is a very practical spell."

"Before that, you need to master..." Professor Flitwick paused and suddenly realized that the person in front of him seemed to have high attainments in ancient magic texts.

"Professor..." Albert suddenly said.

"What's up?"

"The Patron Saint Curse has been recorded since a long time ago." Albert expressed his doubts, "But the wizards in the past used ancient magic scripts. Why is the Patron Saint Curse now in English? ? It seems that chanting incantations in other countries’ languages ​​​​can work? So, what is the significance of the existence of incantations? "
