Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Andy greeted them and then turned his attention to Peeves.

As we all know, ghosts cannot touch objects.

But Peeves was clearly an exception.

It was a rare opportunity to subdue Peeves, so Andy decided to take the opportunity to study the structure of this ghost.

Andy raised his wand and pointed it at Peeves.

"Collins, Peeves at least brings us a lot of joy." An old voice sounded behind Andy.

What a coincidence.

"Good evening, Principal." Andy retracted his wand.

Dumbledore glanced at Peeves and waved his hand. Peeves flew away with a whoosh like a deflated balloon.

"Principal, Peeves seems a little different from other ghosts." Andy asked curiously.

Now that I have met Dumbledore... instead of studying it myself, I might as well ask Dumbledore directly.

Your own research may not necessarily produce results, but if you ask Dumbledore for advice... you will definitely get the most accurate results.

"Yes! Peeves is not a ghost."

Dumbledore said frankly: "Peeves has existed since the founding of Hogwarts. Peeves is a kind of spiritual energy, not a mark left by the dead..."

At this point, Dumbledore looked at Andy and blinked, "Collins, you should be very familiar with the principle of the birth of Peeves."

Andy was a little surprised. "It was the students' emotions and the magic in the castle that gave birth to Peeves?"

Dumbledore explained: "It is generally believed by scholars that Peeves is a spirit being born from subconscious actions... especially the subconscious actions of the oppressed."

"For thousands of years, students at Hogwarts have been under a lot of pressure. That's how Peeves was born."

Andy suddenly realized.

When students are under pressure, they will develop a rebellious mentality.

However, due to school rules, discipline, professors and other factors, they dare not resist this pressure.

Thus, Peeves was born.

This is very similar to the principle of the birth of Obscurus.

Depressed...

Seeing Andy's thoughtful look, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Yes, the mind suppresses magic, and the two will gradually merge together, thus giving birth to a new magical life."

Andy asked, "Principal, does magic come from life?"

"You can say that."

Dumbledore rarely acted like a riddler. He said very frankly: "Collins, you should know that I studied the Obscurus when I was young... Magic comes from life... It is the purest life energy."

Andy nodded thoughtfully.

Magic comes from life, and once magic is infused with spiritual power, it will evolve from pure "life energy" to "life with thoughts".

The fundamental essence that constitutes all things in the universe...

Originally this was just Andy's own conclusion, but Dumbledore's words completely finalized this conclusion.

At this moment, Andy completely gave up on the white magic version of Obscurus - even though it was very powerful.

"I know!" said Andy.

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Let's go, the Halloween dinner is about to begin."

On the way to the auditorium, Andy continued to ask: "Principal, happy emotions can breed patron saints, so what about negative emotions?"

Andy's imagination runs wild.

If I could create a black magic version of the Patronus,

That's three against one.

“There are many kinds of positive emotions, happiness is just one of them… and the same goes for negative emotions.”

Dumbledore looked at Andy and said slowly: "If your heart is filled with strong murderous intent..."

Chapter 244 Andy: I ​​seem to have been fooled

Killing Curse!

Andy suddenly realized that the strong murderous intent and magic power would be released together to form a killing curse.

What about other emotions?

Before Andy could figure it out, Dumbledore asked, "Collins, do you know why happiness is so special?"

Andy: "?"

Is happiness a special emotion?

Andy never thought about this question.

Dumbledore suddenly asked, "Do you know Severus?"

Andy nodded. There was nothing wrong with admitting this.

Dumbledore continued: "Severus is very strong. He has experienced excruciating pain, but he survived and has persisted to this day."

"He never forgot for a moment why he did what he did."

Andy recalled what he knew about Snape.

If what he guessed was true, then Snape was... indeed a very strong person.

Of course, this is not what Dumbledore meant.

Once...even just a few months ago, Andy believed that happy memories were very short-lived and only pain could be unforgettable.

This is a fact.

It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but no one has ever said that it is never too late for a gentleman to be happy.

Happiness is often just a momentary thing.

But what Dumbledore wanted to say was...

Some people are healed by their childhood throughout their lives, while others spend their entire lives healing their childhood.

The happy memories in Snape's heart are a light in his life. His happiness is very short-lived, but that short happiness is enough to heal Snape's life.

Andy began to understand what Dumbledore meant.

“Happy memories are indeed very special,” Andy said frankly.

Dumbledore said slowly: "To cast the Patronus Charm... we need to recall the happiest things in our hearts. And happiness often comes from the love in our hearts."

"What is the Patronus Charm?"

"The happiness born from the love in your heart will always protect your soul... This is the Patronus Charm."

Andy felt like he was being cheated.

But I have to say that Dumbledore's declaration of 'love' still sounds reasonable.

A short-term love can heal a person's life.

It can even be said that the most fundamental reason why those unforgettable painful memories are unforgettable is the loss of love.

For example...Uchiha Obito.

He chose to destroy the world because he lost his love, but was finally saved because of love.

If we analyze according to this theory, then rather than saying that happiness is the most special emotion, it is better to say that love is the most special feeling.

Love?

Andy mused.

Dumbledore always preached that love is the most powerful magic.

If we analyze it based on the relationship between mind and magic, this theory is actually correct.

Positive emotions come from the protection of love, and negative emotions come from the loss of love.

It all starts with love!

Andy scratched his head and glanced at Dumbledore with some resentment.

Am I being fooled, or is this theory itself correct?

Andy looked troubled.

Dumbledore asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Andy sighed and complained, "Nothing... I just suddenly felt that what you said really makes sense."

Dumbledore: "?"

Is there anything wrong with this?

Dumbledore was a little confused. When did what I said not make sense? It's just that most of the time, others don't believe it.

"Love is the most powerful magic."

Andy smiled and said, "Principal, I understand a little bit now."

Andy couldn't help but believe it.

Whether it was Andy's own Patronus Charm, or the magic Lily left on Harry - they all proved it.

Andy has been studying the subject of mind and magic for several years, and in the end, it seems that everything points to love.

Andy thought that if he was not fooled, then this conclusion was correct.

Love is the most powerful magic.

Dumbledore was somewhat relieved.

Look, what is a magical genius?

How many people are unable to understand this truth in their entire lives?

Even Snape!

He himself had experienced a deep and unforgettable love, but he could never believe that love was the most powerful magic.

Every time Dumbledore and Snape talked about this topic, Snape would always look disdainful - old man, you are fooling me.

Look at Andy Collins.

At such a young age, I already understand love and understand that love is the greatest magic.

This is the future of the wizarding world!

Andy stopped talking and walked towards the auditorium, thinking about this question in his mind.

Dumbledore also walked quietly.

Logically speaking, saying that love is the most powerful magic seems to be nothing wrong on the surface.

But in reality, love does not bring power.

At least not in an intuitive sense.

According to the values ​​in the Harry Potter novel...even though Andy hadn't read the rest of the story, he had some guesses in his mind - Harry probably defeated Voldemort with 'love'.

But in the final analysis, this is still the influence of the mind on magic.

Because love itself is a kind of spiritual power.

But unlike negative emotions which directly enhance black magic, love has no intuitive effect on magic. It cannot even increase your power.

It's just a belief.

The Patronus Charm is special... Rather than saying that the Patronus is a fusion of happy memories and magic, it is more like a fusion of love and magic.

Because those happy memories all come from love.

Andy suddenly realized something.

The old principal didn't really fool Andy, but Andy was certainly fooled at the beginning.
