The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 230: The Curse of Red Courage Loyalty

Professor Flitwick has something to do with him?

Albert was a little surprised, because he didn't have much contact with Professor Charms, at least not so good that the other party would invite him to afternoon tea.

Should it be a thesis?
However, this time is a good opportunity, maybe I can find an excuse to ask Professor Flitwick for a signed note from the restricted section.

The task of borrowing books in the restricted area was only two times away.

What is the proper excuse to use?

On the way to Professor Charms' office on the eighth floor of the West Tower, Albert had been thinking about this matter, but when he knocked on the wooden door of Professor Flitwick's office, he still had no good solution.

"Professor, what do you want me to do?"

Albert came to Professor Flitwick's office for the first time, and he felt a little special here, probably because of the height of Professor Flitwick, there are stairs on the bookshelf that can be moved freely, and the chair in the office It was also deliberately raised, and there was a bench beside the chair for stepping up.

"Anderson, sit down!" Professor Flitwick said calmly, "The paper you wrote last time has been published in this issue of "Spell Innovation."

With that said, he put "Curse Innovation" in front of Albert, and turned to the page of the paper.

"Katrina just told me," Albert said.

"The thing is like this, the editor-in-chief of "Curse Innovation" wanted to know you, and he sent me a letter." Professor Flitwick took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Albert, "He thinks it will be directly to you Sending a letter is a bit presumptuous."

"I can understand that if he does that, I will probably be regarded as a liar." Albert took the letter and looked at Professor Flitwick and said, "Can I open it now?"

"Oh, of course." Professor Flitwick laughed. "He is very optimistic about your talent."

Albert smiled and opened the letter without saying a word, and glanced at the contents. The owner of the letter pointed out a few minor flaws in his thesis in a tactful tone, and expressed his willingness to communicate with him. It is also hoped that he will continue to publish spells papers in Charms Innovation.

This letter gave Albert the feeling that Mr. Elphias was a little too enthusiastic.

"Isn't the editor-in-chief of "Spell Innovation" called Elphias Dorji?" Albert raised his head in doubt, and looked at Professor Flitwick with a questioning look.

"Elfias is indeed not the editor-in-chief, but he is the one who can really influence the magazine "Spell Innovation." Professor Flitwick explained with a smile, "He has retired now."

"I see." Albert nodded to show that he understood.

"Anderson, whether you want to work in the Ministry of Magic, concentrate on studying spells, or do other things, there is no harm in getting in touch with people in this field." Professor Flitwick reminded Albert kindly.

"Thank you, Professor." Although Albert didn't plan to develop in this direction for the time being, he still did not forget to thank Professor Flitwick. He knew that the other party said this out of goodwill.

"By the way, professor, when I was researching protection spells in the library a while ago, I discovered two advanced spells." Albert put away the letter and said suddenly.

"A profound curse?" Professor Flitwick raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

"The Patronus Charm and the Fidelity Curse." Albert continued, "I'm very interested in them, but I only found information on the Patronus Charm. Do you know where I can find information on the Fidelity Curse?"

Professor Flitwick was a little stunned. He never thought that Albert had already started to get in touch with these advanced magics.So he asked tentatively, "Have you started to learn the Patronus Charm?"

"Well, I started trying to practice two weeks ago. This magic is a little difficult..." Albert paused and summed up a little bit, "It is said that the Patronus Charm can summon the Patronus of the flesh, but I don't quite understand it The meaning of this sentence...means that after chanting the mantra, the mantra no longer emits a ball of white light, but instead condenses into a physical patron saint?"

Albert began to guide the topic in the direction he needed.

"Your thinking is not wrong. However, the Patronus Charm is a very advanced magic, and it is usually used to ward off dementors." Professor Flitwick thought for a while, and suggested: "When casting the spell, you You need to concentrate and think about the happiest thing in your heart, because the Patronus Charm advocates happiness and hope, but it needs a very strong magical power as the foundation, and this spell may be too reluctant for you now. Even if Don't worry if you can't summon the physical patron saint for the time being, you still have a lot of room for growth."

"I know." Albert nodded and continued to ask: "What about the Loyalty Curse? It is said that it is a powerful and complex protection magic."

"Yes, very complicated." Professor Flitwick seemed to be considering whether to tell Albert. "It involves using magic to hide a secret in the soul of a living person."

"Hiding secrets in the soul?"

"Yes, hide this secret in the heart of the chosen secret-keeper, and it will be impossible for others to discover this secret. Of course, unless the secret-keeper intends to reveal it."

"So, the Fidelity Curse is suitable for hiding things?" Albert pretended not to understand, but in fact, he was a little confused.

He remembered that the Fidelity Curse could hide people, so that everyone except the Secret Keeper could not find them.According to Professor Flitwick, this spell seems to have other usages, or he originally misunderstood the Fidelity Curse.

"Of course, your understanding is not wrong." Professor Flitwick nodded after a few seconds of silence.

"Professor, do you know this magic?" Albert suddenly asked, "I want to learn this magic."

"Yes, yes, but..." Professor Flitwick stared at Albert and asked, "The Fidelity Curse is too difficult for you now. By the way, what do you want to use it to hide?"

"My diary." Albert said without thinking, "In this way, I don't need to worry about being peeped at the diary."

Professor Flitwick was speechless for a moment, he really couldn't understand Albert's way of thinking.

Noticing Professor Flitwick's silence, Albert continued to ask, "Professor, is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also protected by the Fidelity Curse?"

"No, the scope of Hogwarts is too large, and after the death of the Secret Keeper, everyone who knows its existence will automatically become the Secret Keeper. The more people know, its power will be greatly reduced. Weakened and no longer reliable." Professor Flitwick shook his head.

"I still want to learn this spell, can you teach me?" Albert said, "I think this is a very practical spell."

"Before that, you need to master the ancient magic..." Professor Flitwick paused, and suddenly realized that the student in front of him seemed to have a high attainment in ancient magic.

"Ancient runes? Does the Fidelity Curse use ancient runes instead of English?" Albert suddenly frowned and asked, "Professor, I have a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"The Patronus Charm has been recorded a long time ago." Albert expressed his doubts, "The previous wizards used ancient runes, why is the Patronus Charm now in English instead of the ancient ones? What about runes? Also, it should be very taboo to say wrong spells when using spells, but as far as I know, there is nothing wrong with saying the same spell in other languages. So, what is the meaning of the spells we use? "

"The essence of a spell is a spell!" Professor Flitwick did not answer Albert's question directly, but said something confusing.
