Filch, who had just come in, said in a trembling, excited voice, "Professor Lockhart, is this true?"

"I just heard Harry Potter say that you....you can help me master magic!"

Looking at Filch's somewhat aged face, Lockhart's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but he still nodded gently and said, "Of course, Filch, as long as the experiment is successful, you will be able to master certain magical abilities."

In fact, Filch was too old to be a good experimental subject.

But since everyone is here, he doesn't mind.

Coincidentally, according to his later plan, a group of young people, and even younger duds, will participate in the experiment.

Filch can serve as a comparison.

Help him obtain comparative data on the efficiency of meditation practice among young people and middle-aged and elderly people.

Hearing Professor Lockhart's affirmative tone, Filch's face was filled with excitement and he put down Mrs. Norris in his hand.

He quickly ran to Lockhart, held Lockhart's hand, and said excitedly and quickly: "Professor, what do you need me to do? Just tell me."

"As long as I can master magic, I will do anything you ask of me."

"No problem, no problem..." Feeling the heat from Filch's hand, Lockhart quickly pulled his hand away and said, "Don't worry, Headmaster Dumbledore will also participate in this experiment. The chances of success are not low."

Hearing what Lockhart said, Filch was shaking with excitement.

Since Headmaster Dumbledore is also participating, this experiment is a sure success.

Doesn't this mean that he will become a real wizard in the future, with his own wand and able to cast spells?

At this moment, Filch, who had been seeking magic in vain for years, was so excited that he almost cried.

Looking at Filch's excited expression, Lockhart expressed his understanding.

The feeling of suddenly having a dream come true after years of fruitless pursuit is enough to drive one crazy with excitement.

One of the most classic cases in his previous life was Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

He believed that when Filch truly mastered magic, it would be easy for him to reach the state of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

"Hey! I know it! I know magic..."

The scene of Filch clapping his hands and laughing and talking nonsense suddenly appeared in Lockhart's mind, and he almost laughed out loud.

Lockhart gathered his thoughts and looked at Filch, who was very excited. He said in a deep voice, "Filch, take a deep breath and calm down first."

"Once you calm down, let's talk about the specific details you need."

Hearing what Lockhart said, Filch took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

After a while, Lockhart looked at Filch, whose complexion had returned to normal, and said in a deep voice: "Filch, there is one thing I need to explain to you in advance about this magic experiment."

"Although Headmaster Dumbledore has joined, we cannot rule out the possibility of life-threatening situations or mental disorders."

"Of course, we'll try to keep you safe."

In response, Filch nodded and said firmly, "I understand, Professor."

"As long as I can master magic, I don't mind dying."

Looking at Filch's determined expression, Lockhart nodded slightly. He felt that with Filch's determination and his resources, the probability of success might not be low.

Then Lockhart waved his wand and a piece of parchment floated towards him, floating in front of Filch.

"Filch, the rune pattern on the parchment is very important." Lockhart pointed at the complex, slowly moving rune pattern on the parchment with his wand, and said calmly, "What you have to do is very simple."

"It means to deeply engrave the pattern in your mind, and then constantly visualize it in your mind according to its trajectory and speed."

“This process is called meditation.”

“You need to give us feedback every day about how your meditation is working and where there are problems.”

Chapter 133 Nine Elements Meditation Method, Dumbledore's Curiosity

Hogwarts, Filch's Hut.

As the gatekeeper of Hogwarts, Filch has his own small room, or office.

At this moment, Filch placed three oil lamps at different positions on the table, illuminating the area around the desk very brightly.

He himself looked at the parchment on the table with rapid breathing.

Especially the slowly changing patterns on the parchment, his eyes were filled with fiery gaze.

Magic, magic, I finally have the chance to truly master magic.

As Filch looked at the pattern, he thought about his first half of life.

As soon as I got my salary every month, I was reluctant to spend it. As long as I saved up a certain amount of gold galleons, I would go out and sign up for a spell class.

From when I was young until now, I have signed up for one or two almost every year.

but.....

There was a lot of knowledge about spells in his mind, but he couldn't cast a single spell. There was only increasing despair in his heart.

Especially when seeing those first-year wizards, who were only 11 years old, fiddling with their wands and casting magic - my heart was filled with jealousy.

He is now in his forties or fifties, and to mop the floor, he has to hold the mop in his hands and mop step by step.

For a wizard, it would take him an hour or even longer to cast a spell for every minute he worked.

When he thought of this, Fel Felchi's heart was filled with sadness, despair, and...resentment.

Blame yourself, blame your parents, blame your family, blame God...

why?

He was exposed to magic since childhood, but he had no talent for it.

I see a large number of wizards every day, growing up year after year, and learning more magic day by day.

All I can do is recall the magic knowledge in my mind late at night every day, chant the spells over and over again, and wave the magic wand that I bought with my salary.

Even though his mouth was dry and his arms were sore, Filch didn't care.

As long as his efforts could make a leaf fly, Filch would feel very satisfied.

Unfortunately, all my efforts are like air, invisible and intangible.

The more he thought about it, the more heated Filch's gaze became as he looked at the parchment.

Recalling what Professor Lockhart had said not long ago, Filch tapped the upper right corner of the parchment.

Snapped!

The fingertips touched the parchment, making a slight sound.

Then, the rune patterns that had been continuously appearing on the parchment stopped moving.

Snapped!

Filch tapped again, and the originally complex rune pattern on the parchment began to split into 9 runes.

Then Filch touched one of the runes lightly with his fingertips.

The rest of the runes on the parchment suddenly disappeared, and the rune pattern that was touched expanded rapidly.

In his field of vision, the pattern quickly filled the entire parchment.

Seeing this, Filch took out a piece of white paper and began to copy and outline it stroke by stroke.

With each stroke, Filch would look over the entire structure of the rune and imprint it deeply in his mind.

According to Lockhart's suggestion, he needed to memorize the nine runes and fuse them together.

At the beginning, you just copy it directly. You can copy a complete rune without following the parchment.

It represents initial success.

Later on, it was the same, and all nine runes were memorized.

After memorizing it, he outlined each rune pattern in his mind and visualized it according to the movement of the parchment.

....................

The next day, in a classroom at Hogwarts.

"Principal, the Nine Element Meditation Method that I studied is composed of nine runes."

As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and nine runes of different shapes appeared in the air.

Lockhart began to introduce: "The meanings behind them are spirit, soul, resonance..."

After saying this, Lockhart waved his wand, and the nine runes in the sky began to move in a strange trajectory, forming a strange swimming pattern.

"When the nine runes are combined, long-term visualization can effectively enhance the wizard's spiritual power."

"The most important thing is that it can transform mental power to a certain extent, so that one's mental power can resonate with the magic power in the air, thereby reducing the cost of casting spells..."

Dumbledore sat at a table, watching Lockhart in front of him speaking eloquently, waving his wand wantonly, drawing one pattern after another.

He looked dazed, as if he saw his good friend from many years ago appearing before him again, explaining his ideas and inviting him to join again...

He shook his head slightly, and returned his mind to reality, thinking about the ideas revealed in Lockhart's words.

"Principal, is there anything you don't understand?"

Looking at Dumbledore who seemed to be deep in thought, Lockhart asked directly.

"Not yet." Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, and then replied affirmatively.

Hearing the headmaster's affirmative answer, Lockhart thought for a moment and said, "Headmaster, I just mentioned the aspect of transforming mental power. This is the core of the entire meditation method."

"What do you think? Let's discuss it together."

Hearing Lockhart's question, Dumbledore thought for a moment and said gently, "Based on my many years of experience."

"Discovering the nature of mental power itself will change as we continue to cast spells."

"For example, a wizard who often performs dark magic will become a little impatient and violent, and his mental power will be more aggressive. Therefore, the dark magic he performs will be more powerful."

"I think, if your meditation method can transform the nature of the wizard's mental power, are there any side effects? Or how should we get rid of the side effects and retain its essence?"

Hearing Dumbledore's question, Lockhart thought for a moment and replied affirmatively: "Headmaster, I understand your question."

"Meditation can change a person's character while transforming his or her mental strength."

"According to my research, different types of meditation methods have different speeds of transforming a person's spiritual nature, and will also have different degrees of impact on a person's personality."

"The Nine Elements Meditation Method I proposed is the most basic meditation method. It is the most gentle in transforming a person's mental power, but it also improves mental power at a relatively slow speed."

"But the threshold for mastering it is also the lowest. Even a Muggle can master it through deliberate practice to slowly improve his mental strength."

"Muggles?" Dumbledore muttered to himself after hearing Lockhart's last sentence, and then asked, "Will this help Muggles as well?"

"Yes, Headmaster." Lockhart replied affirmatively, then said with some regret: "Unfortunately, ordinary Muggles do not have magical blood and cannot sense magic, or energy particles, at all."

"It can only strengthen one's own spiritual power, but cannot change the nature of the spiritual power."

"When they meditate, the most they find themselves becoming more and more alert."

"Energy particles?" Dumbledore asked with interest at the new term Lockhart came up with, "Why do you name magic like this?"

In response to Dumbledore's question, Lockhart explained without hesitation.

"I have done in-depth research on the Muggle world before. Scientists in the Muggle world proposed the particle hypothesis."

"After learning more about it, I found that the particles they mentioned are somewhat similar to our magic power."

"Moreover, I think that if we regard magic power as particles filled with magical elements, we can explain the mental power transformation process of meditation more clearly."

As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand and drew a pattern in the air.

A pure white beam of light continuously absorbs energy particles of various colors around it, and then changes its own color.

Lockhart explained calmly, "This is what I think is the process of mental transformation. When we use meditation to continuously absorb specific energy particles, we can increase our own magic power accumulation and mental resonance, and reduce magic consumption..."

However, Dumbledore's attention was obviously not here. He was full of curiosity about what Lockhart had just mentioned - to delve into the Muggle world.

The more I interacted with this student of mine, the more I found myself confused.

He remembered that Lockhart's attitude towards Muggles before seemed to be the same as that of most wizards - full of contempt.

Now I hear from him that he has a deep understanding of the Muggle world and the knowledge of Muggle scientists.

He had to make a lot of associations.
