Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 807: Power of Concern
Harry and Krum were not talkative men.

After they had said what they needed to say, no one spoke for the next twenty minutes.

I just listened carefully to see if there was any other sound besides the sound of branches breaking and leaves rustling.

Because, as they went deeper, the trees became thicker and thicker, and the stars overhead could no longer be seen.

Only a beam of silvery light suddenly shot out from the dead branches and rotten leaves to guide their way.

They have nothing else to do.

This was a quietness that matched the surrounding silence until a beam of fire faintly shone through the bushes not far away.

"Looks like we're almost there." Krum pointed his wand at the robe and cast another repairing spell.

Because during this journey of at least half an hour, their clothes often got caught on low branches and thorny vines.

Harry nodded.

Pushing aside the bushes, a ball of fire jumping in a big pit appeared in front of them.

That was Hephaestus.

Dumbledore, Hagrid, Elvas, Madam Vulcanova, Caster Pollack, and Fleur stood in a circle around it.

Seeing Harry and Krum coming over.

All six people and one fire's eyes were focused on them.

"Professor, why did you ask us to come over?" Harry walked to Hagrid and looked at Dumbledore.

"You should ask Madam Vulkanova this question. Although I know the answer." Dumbledore shrugged.

"This is related to a magic," Madam Vokanova cleared her throat, "This magic is a secret of our school, but due to some unspeakable factors, and your respective schools have already paid the price for it -"

"Wait, did I hear you right? Our respective schools?" Krum looked incredulous.

Although now the students of Durmstrang no longer target him too much.

But the principal's attitude towards him hasn't changed at all!

"Ahem, Madam Vokanova is right. Although... I also contributed to this." Dumbledore suppressed his embarrassment and subconsciously touched his waist with his left hand.

A feeling of resentment towards Snape automatically welled up in my heart.

The transgender fertility potion this guy invented is so effective.

She had just given birth and was back to normal, so full of energy that even he could not handle it.

You have to know that he only looks like a centenarian, but in fact his physique is similar to that of a strong young man.

“Then I will continue,” Madam Vulkanova glared at Krum, “You may not know that a wizard’s attention is also magical.

Negative, clear, intense attention is called a curse.

That positive, admiring, and fanatical attention also possesses a power that we don’t understand.

It’s just that those positive concerns are too complicated. Some hope you live a long life, some hope you have good fortune, and some are mixed with bad desires. This also makes it impossible for these positive concerns to be utilized by wizards.

But it is undoubtedly powerful.

This can be exemplified by negative attention.

The dark wizards in history have undoubtedly utilized the power of negative attention to a greater or lesser extent.

Voldemort, whom we all know, is the best among them.

Negative attention is simpler and easier to discern than positive attention.

Apart from the fact that absorbing it may turn you into an evil person, and causing backlash if your skills are not strong enough, there are almost no disadvantages.

The spell that Voldemort cast on his name actually mainly serves to absorb the power of negative attention more efficiently and reduce loss.

He and his men would notice when his name is read, so it is just a side effect."

"The emotion that Voldemort absorbed should be fear, if I'm not mistaken." Harry said suddenly.

"How did you--" Mrs. Vokhanova was stunned.

"Dumbledore once said don't call him You-Know-Who, just call him Voldemort.

Always use the correct name for things. Fear of a name will intensify the fear of the thing itself.

I didn't understand why Dumbledore taught me this before.

There is obviously monitoring magic on it.

But now I understand that this is to reduce the fear of the name Voldemort. And if everyone is like this.

Voldemort can't monitor it at all." Harry said with a smile.

"Okay." Madam Vulkanova gave Harry a suspicious look.

After briefly wondering if he was too close to Dumbledore, he continued, “As Mr. Potter just said.

When absorbing the power of attention, you also need to screen carefully. You need to choose the largest part of the power of attention you have received in order to absorb it to the greatest extent.

Just as Voldemort chose fear.

We also need to do this to absorb the positive attention that other wizards have for us."

"Is that why you guys acted like you won even though Elvas lost?" Furong raised her eyebrows, "No wonder I felt like he was much stronger.

He must have mastered the method you mentioned of absorbing the power of attention."

Elvas nodded.

"Does absorbing this power have any effect on humans?" Krum frowned.

All the changes that had happened in Elvas since the start of the school year flashed through his mind.

He has a close relationship with Elvas and has discovered that Elvas has gradually become more human over the past year.

He once thought that Elvas was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

But now——could it be the influence of the so-called power of attention?

“Of course there is an impact.

But it's all good.

The power of positive attention is full of beautiful blessings.

It also brings you corresponding virtues.

I don’t think it’s a shortcoming to be able to become better.”

"I don't want to be brainwashed by power." Krum frowned.

Harry on the side also noticed something was wrong, "If I'm not mistaken, this kind of power has another name - faith.

The gods develop their own religion for the purpose of reaping the fruits.

Just as negative favor power can make wizards evil, positive favor power can also make wizards who absorb it become unlike themselves. "

"Religion?" Madam Vokhanova said impatiently, "I told you that only the attention of wizards has power.

If it were a Muggle, even if 100 million Muggles believed in you, and you knew how to digest the power of attention, you would not be able to gain any power. "

"What about wizards born into Muggle families? They will more or less believe in a certain religion under the influence of their original families."

"Well, you're right, okay?

This magic is the secret of our school.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to learn. I don’t really want to teach you anyway.” Mrs. Vokhanova said angrily.

"Ahem, let me explain." Dumbledore waved his hand, "Before you worry, you must understand one thing.

Attract the power of attention and you are in a dominant position.

If you are worried about polluting your mind, you can absorb it slowly.

Adjust your mindset.

And the so-called "pollution"
That is, bravery, kindness, gentleness, these beautiful qualities.

You can choose for yourself.”
