A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 537 Magic Returns to Magic
What is magic?
Magic, spells, gestures, emotions, thoughts, knowledge, wands, beliefs...

As the research progressed, Felix eliminated unnecessary components step by step, getting closer to the essence of magic.At a certain moment, Felix had the idea that magic power is the foundation of all inconceivable phenomena, the source of miracles, and the heart points out the direction of miracles.

When the two are combined, it can make people's wishes come true.

The magic riot of little wizards is the closest to this description. They don't master advanced spells, but under the guidance of strong emotions—in other words, a kind of spiritual power—they complete advanced spellcasting that many wizards can't do in their entire lives. .

Of course, this time refers to the complexity of the operation of magic power, rather than discussing the power.

When the little wizards entered school, they began to systematically learn how to control magic power and how to mobilize magic power, so that magic power can be used like a finger.This is actually a transformation from instinct to skill, and a process from wildness to rationality.

Magic forms a natural part of wizard cognition.

If one day, this part of cognition is destroyed, what will happen?

The scene that is happening in front of me seems to give the answer.

Felix stared at the hysterical Professor Bubbaji, and from his perspective, the magic in the professor was like he had never seen before-a mess, like a ball of yarn torn apart randomly.But he was sure she was definitely not a Squib.

There is a real Squib living in Hogwarts school, Argus Filch, the warden of the castle.Felix's eyes flicked out of the crowd. Filch was standing at the door of the administrator's office next to the foyer, and the faint sound of a magic gramophone could be heard through the half-closed door.

He holds a bunch of keys in his hand and looks stunned, with Mrs Norris coiled at his feet.

Felix withdrew his gaze, and he got confirmation from Filch again that the magic power in the two bodies was completely different.Of course, Squibs also have magical powers, but they can hardly play any role, and because they have never been exercised, they are not as good as the normal little wizards in school in terms of quantity or quality.The magic power in their bodies is incomparably lazy, like a quiet pool of water...more precisely, like a lifeless puddle of water.

"Professor McGonagall, it's best to take Professor Bubbaji to the school hospital and let Madam Pomfrey examine her. She may have been cursed by a certain unpopularity." Felix reminded, this is of course an excuse, But some things don't need to be made public.

He is also unable to give an accurate conclusion now, instead of letting the students guess randomly, he might as well keep his mouth shut for the time being.

After all, half-knowledge is no different from chasing rumors. They are basically breeding grounds for rumors.

Professor Bubaji heard this sentence in a trance, as if grabbing the last straw, he said in a panic: "Yes, it is a curse! Those books—the books I brought back from the Muggle world— They're messing with my brain! Oh my God! There's a vicious curse in every word of that..."

There was a loud gasp in the hall.

"There are curses hidden in Muggle books?" a student asked in a low voice.

"It's possible, Mum told me to stay away from all Muggle things," said another student seriously.

"Nonsense!" Hermione said domineeringly, the man glared at her, and when he saw the prefect badge hanging on her chest, he turned his face away dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "It's my mother Said."

"Caredy, let's go to the school hospital, you will recover." Professor McGonagall said softly.

But Professor Bubbaji only focused on repeating these words, and occasionally stopped to sniff his nose fiercely. Felix shook his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and Professor Bubbaji, who was on the verge of collapse, slowly fell into Professor McGonagall's arms and lost consciousness.

The crowd was eerily quiet, as if what she had just said was still floating in the air, transforming into terrifying creatures baring their teeth and claws at them.

Felix had no choice but to say loudly: "Everyone!" His voice spread far away, and the students present looked at him blankly, and even the professors who came over looked at him in unison. Hope to get an answer.

It is really because the news revealed by Professor Bubaji is too shocking: Normal wizards become squibs?This is something that has never happened before.

"Professor Bubbaji's body has a problem. There is no doubt about it. The reason is not yet clear, so I need you to remain calm and a little patient." Enveloped, convincing power radiates from the inside out of the body.

"I don't want you to forget my other two identities - a Muggle studies expert and a memory healer, so Professor Bubaji's troubles happen to be my field of expertise, so it's better to ask me than to think about it, of course, after the consultation. "

He gave Professor McGonagall a look, and she understood, and led Professor Bubbaji to leave in a hurry with a wand, and several professors followed.Snape stood by the wall, rolled his black eyes, and walked towards the direction of the school hospital.

The students looked at each other——

"O-oh--" Justin Fenriely exclaimed suddenly, startling everyone, as his companion stepped aside quickly and slapped his chest exaggeratedly. "I remembered that there might indeed be cursed items in the Muggle world, but they all came from the wizarding world. Professor Haipu also helped me check a vase made by a goblin!"

"Is there such a thing?" asked his friend Susan Burns.

"I can testify," Ernie McMillan, the Hufflepuff student who had just been frightened, said solemnly, trying to save his image.

The frozen air in the hallway melted away, and the discussion became heated. Many young wizards crowded around Justin, trying to hear it more clearly.

……

The school hospital was full of people.

Almost all the professors rushed over after hearing the news, and there were many students crowded and standing under the school hospital. Professor McGonagall had to go outside every few minutes to maintain discipline and shut up the chaotic students. Add to the chaos.

Some people—like Hermione and Ron—were caught up and running up and down the corridors.In a messy atmosphere, Madam Pomfrey completed the inspection.

"This is simply the strangest patient I've ever seen. Her body is normal except for her magic. Often this is the most difficult situation to deal with. Even if she loses an arm, I can cure it." She kept shaking her head, showing confusion Puzzled expression, "I can't judge, but it shouldn't be a squib, but this symptom—"

There was another noise outside, and Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently: "Those students can't look at the time! I must deduct points for them!" She rushed to the door angrily, opened the door, and outside the door There stood a tall, thin wizard.

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally here, Dumbledore. Caredy—"

"I know all about it." Dumbledore nodded to her, first looked around, his eyes seemed to have magical powers, calming the restlessness in the professor's heart, then he strode to the hospital bed, bent down to check Caredi The professor's state, silver-white beard dragged to the bed sheet.

For a long time, he straightened his body, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. "I'm pretty sure she didn't become a Squib, and certainly not a curse—"

"Principal Dumbledore, is it possible that it is silent, I read from the book, the characteristics are very similar to the magic power in her—" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Absolutely not." Dumbledore said emphatically.

He looked at the rest of the room, and Professor Flitwick said sharply, "I don't see any concealed spells." Snape stood in the corner and said blankly, "It wasn't the potion's effect, either." Snape Professor Lauter also said: "She has not been exposed to plants such as sneezeweed and scurvy recently."

"Maybe it's not the effect of magic." Wearing a pair of large glasses, Trelawney poked her head out from behind Sinista, the professor of astronomy, and Graplan, the substitute professor of the Protection of Magical Beasts, and looked in the direction of the hospital bed.

"Thank you, Sybil," said Dumbledore curtly.

He looked at Felix, who had just opened his eyes on the other side of the hospital bed with a weird expression, and asked softly, "How is your communication with Caredy?" Several professors in the ward opened their eyes wide and stared at him in unison. looking at Felix's face, trying to see something.

Felix hesitated, "Albus, you'd better see for yourself."

Dumbledore met his gaze calmly, his blue eyes dazed for a moment under the semicircular glasses, and then he found himself in a colorful and strange world: here you can't tell the difference between up and down, left and right, there is no foothold under your feet, and there is an empty space around you. The gloomy scene seems to be in the universe.Dumbledore looked around with great interest. The twisted double helix structure formed a golden staircase, extending from the near to the end of the infinite sight.Immediately afterwards, the large blue light spheres radiated bright white currents like lightning, filling the only part of the gap.Gold and blue are intertwined with each other but distinct, forming a large area of ​​dark and uncertain light and shadow at the edge of contact.

"Here is..." Dumbledore said slowly.

"Professor Bubbaji's dream." Felix answered briefly.

While speaking, a familiar voice sounded from nowhere, it was Caridi Bubbaji, her voice was much more ethereal than usual, with echoes, as if it came from the wilderness, and her tone was full of confusion and fear, From all directions: "Why...why is there no place for magic..."

Dumbledore looked solemn, and explained: "Caredy had an accident during the summer vacation. She visited more than a dozen Muggle biologists one after another. The last time, she was very emotional. Maybe her body had already died at that time. Something went wrong, the wand gave her an early warning, but alas the Muggle professor she was talking to suspected she had a gun, rushed up and knocked her out, then called the police. When I got her out, she was out of her mind... ..."

"Minerva told me about this." Felix showed a reminiscing expression: "At the International Conference on Muggle Studies two years ago, Professor Bubaji showed curiosity about biological knowledge, but The content of her research was very basic, and the level was probably similar to the first-year levitation spell? Her lecture was interrupted unexpectedly, when the students of Ilvermorny attacked the Boothrace Hotel... I have paid little attention to her since then Research fields and progress, but it is clear that Professor Bubaji has not given up, and her research has deepened in the past two years."

Dumbledore stared at the strange dream of Caredi Bubaji, "Can't she understand the new knowledge?"

"It's worse than that—she understands it, but doesn't fit into it," Felix said.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, and ignored the erratic voice of Professor Libu Budge, "Is it another system? It conflicted with magic?"

"Magic and science." Felix said softly, "these two are like two circles, each has developed a set of completely different systems over thousands of years, if you compare it: magic is perceptual and changeable; scientific rationality , rigorous, and more and more distinct from each other, forming two bright flowers of civilization..."

"But unfortunately, our Professor Bubaji discovered the intersection of the two by mistake." Dumbledore said with emotion.

"That's it," said Felix, "her cognition is too wizard-oriented, and as a wizard she is undoubtedly qualified, but on the other hand, with all due respect, her scientific literacy is pitiful, but she It’s hard not to have a problem with trying to use the wisdom accumulated from life to understand another logical behemoth.”

"I see." Dumbledore exhaled lightly, looking at the dream in front of him, "Now that we know the reason, it will be easier to solve Caredy's troubles—there may be more than one method. Which one, we'll let Caredy choose after we go out."

Felix nodded, thinking about it too.

The most direct way is to make Caridi Bubbaji forget this memory, and then treat her as a newly enrolled little wizard, and reorganize her magic power.The whole process is not difficult, of course, she may not be happy.

The other method is more difficult, without erasing the memory, she must re-accept magic in the presence of interference to stabilize her cognition.

But no matter what, Dumbledore must have warned her not to be exposed to this kind of 'dangerous' knowledge in the short term.

Felix was a little regretful that his Christmas present hadn't been delivered yet, but he didn't dare to give anything related to the Muggle world now, who knew if it would touch her nerves.This incident also made him vigilant. He had been secretly promoting the integration of the worlds of wizards and ordinary people in the past, and now it seemed that he still had a long way to go.

Perhaps a buffer zone should be established between the two, between the open and the closed, carefully making a trade-off...

Limited opening?Felix pondered.

Dumbledore sighed, "She should be a wizard who has studied this knowledge to the extreme for hundreds of years."

"She was indeed a pioneer," Felix agreed.

"how about you?"

"I?"

"Your achievements in the field of Muggle research are also amazing," Dumbledore said softly: "I have read your book, which contains quite a lot of... scientific knowledge, and as far as I know: a person can pass Words express only a small part of his wisdom."

"Do you think that my research is deeper than that of Professor Bubaji?"

"This is also what confuses me the most. You never seem to have this problem? And you can apply this idea to the company you founded-it is said that a considerable part of Future World's expenditure is used to buy Muggles Items, but these employees are not like Caredy... well, the only difference I can think of is that the field of study is different." Dumbledore said in a probing tone.

"There is indeed a reason for this." Felix said: "The development strategy I made for the company—at least the early research direction is to absorb the ideas and uses of Muggle technology products, and then try to replace them with magic. I didn't ask them Master the principles, and the most important point is—" He snapped his fingers: "Mechanical structure, physics, chemistry... These concepts either have the wizards themselves, or they are still blank, and have not seriously conflicted with their cognition. Unlike Professor Bubbaji, she has already involved the most essential and intense vortexes."

"As for me being unaffected, I think it may have something to do with my background. This makes me feel awe of magic and science at the same time, and I don't think I can easily control the power of the two by myself." Fei Lex said.

Dumbledore smiled: "Ah, I have a wonderful association, just like the job advertisement you published in the newspaper said - what kind of sparks will the combination of Muggle wisdom and magic collide with?"

"Yes, I'll wait and see."

"You are too humble, Felix. If I had to find a word to describe it, I would say: outstanding results." Dumbledore said.In the dream, Kai Ruidi's voice was strong and weak, as if he had been wandering in the dream, seeking over and over again.

"Gene...information...evolution...why is there no place for magic here?"

"Have you thought about how to deal with this problem?" Dumbledore asked thoughtfully.

Felix miraculously understood what he meant: Dumbledore hadn't asked for the answer itself, it wasn't realistic, and it wasn't an immediate answer.He just wanted to know, if wizards and ordinary people were destined to merge, how to deal with this kind of conflict of ideas and concepts.

"I never thought about it before," Felix said bluntly.

"what about now?"

"Have a little idea!"

Dumbledore smiled at Felix.Felix seemed to have an illusion, as if he was back three years ago, they were sitting in the circular principal's office, he was having a serious interview, instead of discussing it in a professor's weird dream question.

"In the short term, what is magic belongs to magic, and what belongs to science belongs to science. A buffer zone is artificially drawn to allow enough time for each other to adapt." He said earnestly.

The voice in the dream suddenly quieted down, as if Professor Bubaji’s subconscious mind was also listening. The surroundings were terribly silent. The blue light ball and the golden double helix structure separated a little bit, revealing a large black area in the middle.

"Limit communication to a certain range?" Dumbledore nodded, "Good idea, then who will be the bridge in the middle?"

Felix hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts: "In the past, the Ministry of Magic did this unintentionally, but now the Future World Company is actively promoting it. In the future, all young wizards from Muggle families will work together... "

Dumbledore was noncommittal, but said: "Let's go out first, people outside should be anxious... Speaking of which, I don't know if Caredy has a chance to get on the Chocolate Frog card? What will her introduction be?"

"It's really exciting."

　This chapter made me bald, and I want to ask everyone how they feel.
