The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

There are many factors that can affect a wizard when he casts a spell, and the activity of magical energy fluctuations is only one of the less significant factors.

Jacob nodded.

“I want to try!” he said. “Please, Scott.”

"Then let's give it a try."

Scott pulled out his wand and pressed it against Jacob's chest.

“Open your mind,” he said. “You must completely trust me to succeed.”

"it is good."

Jacob nodded again.

"here we go."

Scott's robes began to flutter, and the tip of his wand glowed faintly.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Jacob was knocked back several steps and stumbled to the ground.

"Is that not allowed?"

Scott lowered his hand from his wand and frowned slightly.

"Are you OK?"

He went up to Jacob.

“You are not open-minded; I can feel it. Your magic is resisting my magic.”

"I am fine."

Jacob slowly rose to his feet.

His face was pale, and he clutched his chest with his hand.

"I'm not injured, I just feel some pain."

He smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I didn't distrust you..."

Scott gestured for him to shut up.

“It’s your subconscious that’s in control,” Scott said. “It’s not something you can easily control.”

“Let’s try again.” Jacob put his hand down. “Let’s try one more time.”

Scott frowned.

"I'm afraid that won't work," he said. "If you're not sure, it's better to forget about it. Continuing like this will only hurt you."

"It's ok!"

Jacob pulled a bottle of potion from his pocket, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

He then put the empty potion bottle in his pocket and wiped his mouth with his hand.

“One more time.” He looked at Scott. “Please!”

Scott stared into his eyes.

"Ok."

After a while, Scott gave in.

"One more time."

He raised his wand again and pressed it against Jacob's heart.

The magical light shone once more.

This time, Scott was more careful.

Under his control, his magical fluctuations started weakly and gradually increased.

At this point, Jacob had already closed his eyes.

As time passed, Scott could sense that Jacob's magical fluctuations, guided by his own magic, were also slowly increasing.

It seems like there's a chance?

But before he could even feel happy, at the very moment when the frequencies of their magical energy fluctuations were closest, another unexpected event occurred.

In that instant, Jacob's magic began to repel Scott's magic once again.

But his magic was far less powerful than Scott's, and so he was defeated again.

With another muffled thud, Jacob clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground once more.

Scott put away his wand and looked down at him.

"I think we should forget about it," he said.

Jacob looked very dejected at that moment.

Scott continued, "To be honest, if I were in your position, I wouldn't be able to open up to other people either."

"I……"

Jacob wanted to say something, but suddenly gagged a few times.

He quickly pulled out another bottle of potion and poured it into his mouth.

“At this rate, it’s not worth getting injured,” Scott said.

"call……"

Jacob exhaled and stood up again.

"The last time."

He looked at Scott pleadingly.

“…You really are something.” Scott said with a hint of exasperation.

"I know that even if this method succeeds, it won't make me much stronger."

Jacob lowered his head and said softly.

"Moreover, I no longer have the same intense sense of insecurity as before. However, I am still unwilling to be just an ordinary wizard."

He looked up at Scott again.

"I want to achieve something, I want to learn more magic, and I don't want to miss any opportunity."

Looking into his eyes, Scott felt he saw something familiar.

He had seen that kind of ambition in the mirror.

“This is the last time,” he said seriously to Jacob. “If this doesn’t work, I won’t use this method on you.”

Jacob nodded, "Okay!"

Scott raised his wand once more.

The tip of the wand lit up again, and Scott closed his eyes, relying entirely on his senses.

As their magic came into contact, Scott's suppressed magical energy slowly dissipated, guiding Jacob's magic.

As Jacob's magical fluctuations gradually increased in frequency, Scott devoted even more attention to them.

well.

This time there was no rejection.

Jacob's magic began to become increasingly active in sync with Scott's magical fluctuations.

Scott then opened his eyes.

At this moment, the light at the tip of his wand grew brighter and brighter, and their robes fluttered like flags in the wind.

Jacob closed his eyes, his expression blank.

Of course, there was no magical outburst like Neville's.

Scott was surprised at that moment.

He hadn't expected that this kid could actually do this.

Just as he had just told Jacob, he himself would never open his heart to anyone.

After a while, as Jacob's magical fluctuations stabilized, Scott withdrew his wand.

In his perception, Jacob's magical fluctuations decreased slightly for a moment, but quickly stabilized again.

Fortunately.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

This result is still higher than the frequency of the kid's original magic fluctuations.

This shows that doing so does have some effect.

However, Scott felt that these bizarre things had only happened twice.

After all, not everyone can accept having someone use a spell to block their heart while simultaneously opening their heart to them.

After a while, Jacob opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Scott asked him curiously. "Can you feel any difference?"

Jacob shook his head, took out his wand, and pointed it at the empty space.

"Flames are raging!"

A burst of flame shot out from his wand.

At that moment, his eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Scott!"

He said excitedly.

"I can feel that using spells is smoother now!"
