Time travel at the same time: Is the golden finger actually me?

Why does the magic we use always emit in the form of directional beams? Rock asked curiously.

Flitwick pondered for a moment and then told a story.

You know, I was once a duel champion. The elderly half-elf man did not forget to boast about his achievements when he told the story.

I am very passionate about dueling competitions. I think there is nothing that makes a wizard's blood boil more than a duel.

But magic duels a long time ago were not as exciting as they are now. At that time, wizards had to recite complicated spells and cast spells in place for a long time...

“This one shouted ‘I will move a big mountain to crush you to death’, while the other one shouted ‘Then I will move a bigger mountain to crush you to death!’. The duel between wizards at that time was so ridiculous.”

Until one day, a young man came to the duel competition with his 'weapon for killing dogs'.

Simple, ordinary and efficient, this is what the wizard thought of him at the time. He relied on this magic spell to kill all the way through the game.

He was like a shooting star, breaking everyone's perception.

The coffee on the table automatically flew into Flitwick's hands. He took a sip lightly and continued: I know that many young wizards prefer to measure magic by absolute destructive power.

But in fact, to defeat a person, you don't need that much power at all.

Moreover, the wizarding world does not have that large population to carry out a war that requires large-scale destruction, and naturally it does not need magic with significant destructive power.

Those powerful spells have become an obstacle to wizards' progress. The threshold is so high that many young wizards may not be able to use a few spells in their lives.

Flitwick also smiled and took Dumbledore as an example: Did you know that the modern spell system has actually narrowed the distance between ordinary wizards and top wizards?

If everyone uses ancient spells, then no one else will ever catch up with the footsteps of great wizards like Dumbledore.

Rock understood what Flitwick meant.

This directional beam spell comes from the modern spell system, and this method of use greatly lowers the threshold for using magic.

It's efficient enough, easy to learn, and most importantly good enough for wizards.

Then why do some existing magics not have this problem? There are even some magic spells that are in between. Whether to release the beam depends on the user, such as the magic spell: shock absorption and speed stop. Rock continued to ask .

Flitwick was also a little helpless. He knew that a smart little wizard like Roark would ask some tricky questions.

The formation of a magic system must trace back the history of its existence.

Most of the modern magic spells were gradually invented after the use of the 'beams' you mentioned.

But there are also some spells that have slowly evolved from ancient spells. Some have evolved more thoroughly, while others are difficult to change.

Rock then said: What is difficult to change is the Patronus Charm?

Flitwick was stunned: Yes, it is the Patronus Charm. It is very ancient and the threshold is very high.

This is a difficult spell. Have you ever tried to practice it?

I've learned.

Flitwick was a little numb, but he quickly realized: This is a good thing. The Patronus Charm has great meaning, and it can often represent a person's good and evil tendencies.

Being able to cast the Patronus Charm is definitely good news.

Flitwick also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it's a good thing that students are talented.

But if as a teacher, I do not guide the other person to the right path, but instead let the other person go astray, then this matter will definitely stick to his heart like a needle.

The Patronus Charm is equivalent to the white wizard's ID card.

With this ID card, Flitwick dared to talk about more dangerous magic more boldly.

Professor, do you know how to practice ancient magic? Rock was still interested in archeology.

Flitwick shook his head: I have actually chased the shadow of ancient magic.

I came to Hogwarts to teach partly for this reason. Legend has it that Hogwarts was once the stronghold of ancient magic.

But learning ancient magic requires unimaginable qualifications.

But... Flitwick thought for a while and said, Maybe you have such a talent.

You are indeed the best little wizard I have ever seen since I became a teacher.

Flitwick fantasized about Rock learning ancient magic, and he became a little excited. He had long wanted to see the power of ancient magic in a duel!

After Flitwick thought about it, he immediately waved his wand into the air.

Soon, a house elf apparated into the Charms classroom. Listening to Flitwick's words, he delivered Roark's books to his dormitory.

I can't stop a young wizard from Ravenclaw from pursuing knowledge, so what I, the dean, can do is give him a push.

Come on, follow me to the principal's office. Dumbledore knows something about ancient magic.

…

Cockroaches! shouted Flitwick.

After the gargoyle heard the command, it jumped aside. The wall behind it split in half, revealing a spiral staircase that moved slowly upward.

Cockroach pile? Rock was a little surprised. I'm a chocolate frog person. Cockroach pile is too sweet. I thought only laymen would eat it.

While speaking, Rock walked into the spiral staircase, and then looked at Flitwick: Professor, won't you come with me?

Flitwick shook his head: I have asked the house elves to explain the situation to Dumbledore. I have a third-year spells class next. If it is later, the little wizards will be in a hurry.

Don't worry, Dumbledore is a very gentle wizard, don't be overly restrained...

Before Flitwick could finish his words, the spiral staircase had already gone up.

…

On the castle.

Dumbledore is still counting the many mistakes he made in his life today.

There has always been a thorn in Dumbledore's heart - his former student Voldemort, who was brought to the wizarding world from the orphanage by Dumbledore.

At that time, Voldemort had already learned how to use magic to harm Muggles in the orphanage.

Dumbledore was very angry about this, so he chose to suppress Voldemort with violence.

It was this improper handling that made Dumbledore regret so much.

After Tom went astray, he kept reflecting on himself. He should have done better instead of choosing to fight violence with violence, so he taught Tom what magic is power.

However, Dumbledore also knew that he was just an ordinary teacher in terms of identity at the time, and Voldemort's psychological problems were not something he could easily solve.

After all, the other party had started bullying other children in the orphanage at a very young age.

Dumbledore knew this very well, but he just liked to take all the blame on himself, and then immerse himself in regret and regret alone.

This problem may have occurred when he defeated Grindelwald, no, even earlier, maybe when his sister died.

…

Reach the highest level of the academy.

Principal room.

As soon as Luo Ke entered, he was greeted by Old Dengtou.

Long time no see, Mr. Anderson. Are you satisfied with your life at Hogwarts?

Dumbledore raised his head and cast his gaze on Roark, his eyes filled with relief.

Look at this little wizard!

Talented, charming, and well-liked.

How similar to the little wizard he once was.

But this time Dumbledore believes that he will do better than before, and Roark is far better than Tom.

It's not bad. It would be better if someone could pass me a piece of chocolate frog. Rock shamelessly asked for the snack.

Dumbledore smiled.

For a moment, Dumbledore stared at Roark in front of him and thought of his dead relatives.

It would be great if his sister Ariana's regrets could be made up for, he thought to himself.
