Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 230: Bold Loyalty Mantra
Professor Flitwick has something to do with me?
Albert was a little surprised, because he didn't have much interaction with Professor Charms, at least not so good that he would invite him to afternoon tea.
Should it be a dissertation?
However, this is a good opportunity to find an excuse to ask Professor Flitwick for a signed note from the forbidden area.
The task of borrowing books from the forbidden area is two more than finished.
What is the right excuse to use?
Albert had been thinking about this on his way to the office of Professor Charms on the eighth floor of the West Tower, but when he knocked on the wooden door of Professor Flitwick's office, there was still no good solution.
"Professor, are you looking for me?"
Albert came to Professor Flitwick's office for the first time. It felt a little special to him. Probably because of Professor Flitwick's height, there were stairs that could be moved at will on the bookshelves. The chair was also purposely raised, and there was a bench beside the chair for feet.
"Anderson, sit down!" Professor Flitwick said calmly. "The paper you wrote last time was published in this issue of Spell Innovation."
Speaking, he put "Innovation of Magic" in front of Albert and turned to the page of the thesis.
"Katrina told me just now," Albert said.
"The thing is, the editor-in-chief of Spell Innovation wanted to get to know you, and he sent me a letter." Professor Flitwick took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Albert, "he thinks Sending you a letter directly is a bit rash."
"I can understand that if he did that, he would probably be considered a liar." Albert took the letter and looked at Professor Flitwick. "Can I open it now?"
"Oh, of course." Professor Flitwick laughed. "He's very optimistic about your talent."
Albert opened the letter with a smile and glanced at the contents. The owner of the letter pointed out a few small flaws in his thesis in a euphemistic tone, and indicated that he had written correspondence with him. Willingness, the other party also hopes that he can continue to publish magic spell papers on "Magic Magic Innovation".
The letter gave Albert the impression that Mr. Elphias was a little too enthusiastic.
"It seems that the editor-in-chief of "Spell Innovation" is not named Elphias Dorje?" Albert raised his head suspiciously and looked at Professor Flitwick with questioning eyes.
"It's true that Elphias isn't the editor-in-chief, but he's the one who can really influence the magazine Conjuring Innovations," Professor Flitwick explained with a smile. "He's retired now."
"I see." Albert nodded to show he understood.
"Anderson, whether you want to work at the Ministry of Magic in the future, focus on spell research, or do other things, there's no harm in having more contact with people in this field." Professor Flitwick reminded Albert kindly.
"Thank you, Professor." Although Albert did not plan to develop in this direction for the time being, he still did not forget to express his gratitude to Professor Flitwick. He knew that the other party said this out of goodwill.
"By the way, professor, when I was researching protective spells in the library a while ago, I discovered two kinds of profound spells." Albert put away the letter and said suddenly.
"A profound spell?" Professor Flitwick raised an eyebrow.
"The Patronus Charm and the Courageous Loyalty Charm." Albert continued, "I'm very interested in them, but I only found information on the Patronus Charm. Do you know where I can find information on the Courageous Loyalty Charm?"
Professor Flitwick was a little stunned. He never thought that Albert had already begun to come into contact with these profound magics. So he asked tentatively, "Have you started to learn the Patronus Charm?"
"Uh, I started trying to practice it two weeks ago, this magic is a bit difficult..." Albert said with a sigh and summed up a little, "It is said that the Patronus Charm can summon a physical Patronus, but I don't think so. I can understand the meaning of this sentence too well... Does it mean that after chanting the incantation, the incantation will no longer emit a cloud of white light, but will condense into a patron saint with a body?"
Albert begins to steer the conversation in the direction he needs.
"You're right. However, the Patronus Charm is a very advanced type of magic, and it's usually used to ward off dementors." Professor Flitwick thought for a while, but suggested, "Curse the spell. You need to concentrate and think about the happiest things in your heart, because the Patronus Mantra advocates happiness and hope, but it needs a strong magical power as the foundation, this mantra may be too reluctant for you now Don't worry, even if you can't summon the physical guardian angel temporarily, you still have a lot of room for growth."
"I know." Albert nodded and continued: "What about the Fierce Faithful Charm? It is said to be a powerful and complex protection magic."
"Yes, very complicated." Professor Flitwick seemed to be considering whether to tell Albert, "It involves using magic to hide a secret in the soul of a living person."
"Hid secrets in the soul?"
"Yes, keep this secret in the heart of the chosen keeper, and no one else will ever discover it. Unless, of course, the keeper deliberately divulges it."
"So, is the Clinging Loyalty Charm suitable for hiding things?" Albert pretended that he didn't understand, but in fact, he was really a little confused.
He remembers that the Courageous Loyalty Charm hides people from anyone but the Keeper. According to Professor Flitwick, this spell seems to have other uses, or his original understanding of the Faithful Loyalty Mantra was wrong.
"Of course, you're right." 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, but..." Professor Flitwick stared at Albert and asked, "The Brave Loyalty Charm is too difficult for you now. By the way, what do you want to use it to hide? "
"My diary~IndoMTL.com~" Albert said without hesitation: "This way, I don't need to worry about being peeped at my diary. "
Professor Flitwick was speechless, unable to understand Albert's thinking pattern.
Albert noticed Professor Flitwick's silence and continued to ask, "Professor, is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also protected by the Faithful Charm?"
"No, the scope of Hogwarts is too large, and the Faithful Charm will automatically become the Keeper after the Keeper's death, and the more people who know it, the more its power will be It has been greatly weakened and has become no longer reliable." Professor Flitwick shook his head.
"I still want to learn this spell, can you teach me?" Albert said, "I think it's a very useful spell."
"Before that, you need to master the ancient magic..." Professor Flitwick paused, and suddenly realized that the student in front of him seemed to have high attainments in ancient magic.
"Ancient Rune? Is the Courageous Loyalty Charm using ancient Rune instead of English?" Albert suddenly frowned and asked, "Professor, I have a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"The Patronus Charm has been recorded for a long time." Albert expressed his doubts, "The wizards used to use ancient rune, why is the Patronus Charm now in English? Instead of ancient rune? Also, when using magic spells, it should be very taboo to say the wrong spell, but as far as I know, there is no problem in using the same spell in other languages. So, what is the spell we use Meaning?"
"The essence of a spell is a spell!" Professor Flitwick did not answer Albert's question directly, but said a confusing sentence.
