Chapter 491: Chapter 491 Andy: It's really nice to chat with you; let's chat again later
"You mean powerful magic?"
After listening to Grindelwald's thoughts on the Obscurial, Andy said in bafflement, "The Obscurial's magic is powerful, implying that the Obscurus is also powerful."
"The two are mutually reinforcing!"
"Merely relying on one's own magic cannot restrict the Obscurus from leaving its host."
Andy felt that Grindelwald had been locked up for too long and had developed a bit of senile dementia. This is a very obvious logical relationship; didn't this guy notice?
Grindelwald's eyelid twitched slightly. For some reason, he always felt that he was being looked down upon.
"The reason why Obscurial in the Dumbledore family can live longer is not only because of the Phoenix's power but also because of their own magic, too."
Grindelwald explained. "The wizard's own magic becomes Obscurus, while the magic from the Phoenix... may not change as a result."
"Hm..." Andy pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
This was yet another new theory.
What's more, the person who proposed this theory was Grindelwald, a super wizard who had personally seen Obscurus.
One's own magic becomes Obscurus, while the part of magic stolen through magic transfiguration does not change.
It's not impossible!
It is precisely because these two streams of magic restrain each other that the two Obscurials in the Dumbledore family have lived to be over ten years old.
"This theory makes a bit of sense..."
Andy nodded and suddenly said, "The two magics restrain each other... Huh? Sir, won't the magic we steal through magic transfiguration fuse with our own magic?"
Andy remembered that Slytherin's notes specifically mentioned this: the power gained through magic transfiguration will merge with our own magic.
But from what Grindelwald said, it seems like it's not the case at all?
"Of course, it will fuse... at least on the surface!"
Grindelwald said lightly, "If you pour half a glass of milk into half a glass of water, is the glass filled with milk or water?"
If you put it that way...
"Okay, I understand what you mean," Andy sighed.
Grindelwald had indeed given Andy a new way of thinking.
However, instead of boosting Andy's confidence, this "way of thinking" had instead caused Andy to have a lot of concerns.
If Grindelwald's guess was correct, it meant that the host of the Obscurus would definitely die. And the power stolen through magic transfiguration could only delay the arrival of death.
However...
Although this point of view was plausible, Andy always felt a little strange about it.
Seeing Andy silent for a long time, Grindelwald said lightly, "Are you scared? Are you going to give up?"
"Of course not..."
At this, Andy suddenly looked at Grindelwald in the mirror with a suspicious look on his face. "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Grindelwald gave Andy a cold stare and obviously didn't bother to answer the question.
Andy was about to have an in-depth exchange with Grindelwald when he saw the Fat Cat Patronus suddenly enter through the wall. It waved its two front paws in front of its chest as if to express something.
"You said Sirius and Harry have finished training and are now heading upstairs?" Andy raised an eyebrow.
The fat cat Patronus nodded repeatedly; that was what it meant.
"Unfortunately...there's been a problem on my side!"
Andy looked apologetically at Grindelwald in the mirror and said helplessly, "It seems that our conversation today will have to end here."
"I'll contact you again sometime in the future."
"Well... I'll add one last thing: it was really nice talking to you, Mr. Grindelwald. " With that, Andy switched off the Two-way mirror and put it in his pocket, then waved his wand to cancel the Patronus charm.
After doing all this, Andy looked around.
There wasn't even a portrait in the study, and apart from Andy and Grindelwald, no third intelligent being knew what had just happened.
Perfect!
After waiting a while in the study, footsteps were heard approaching the door. They stopped at the door, and then a knock was followed by a push.
"Hi, Andy."
Harry looked at Andy, who was reading, and said rather dispiritedly, "I have to say, you are a true Ravenclaw. I could never do what you do, spending all day with a book in my hands, even on holiday."
Andy gave a faint smile and did not respond to the comment.
"Have you finished training?" Andy asked.
Sirius gave a restrained smile: "The morning training is over. After lunch, we will have afternoon training. Harry is improving very quickly, which reminds me of the past…"
Sirius suddenly stopped talking after saying this.
Back then, of the Marauder's four, one died and one betrayed his friends. The remaining two lived every day in a daze, one wandering the wizarding world and the other imprisoned in Azkaban.
It wasn't until a few months ago that he picked himself up again!
"Sirius..."
Harry sounded quite excited as he spoke, "Did you and my dad do the same training back then?"
"Of course!"
Sirius gave a relieved smile and reminisced, "When your father and I were at school, Dark Lords's forces were running rampant."
"Hogwarts was fine, but outside the school, there was fighting every day and people were dying every day."
"To fight against the Death Eaters, the minions of the Dark Lord, we spontaneously formed a Duelling Club to practice our duelling skills and combat abilities."
"Among our group, James and I were the best, and we defeated everyone together!"
Harry's face was glowing with excitement and emotion.
He had already started to imagine it.
In those war years, a group of brave children spontaneously gathered together to practice their duelling skills to fight Voldemort. And among all the children, James Potter and Sirius Black were the two best.
At this thought, Harry looked at Sirius with deep admiration and adoration in his eyes.
Andy's face held a complex expression.
A few small kids grouping together and bullying others; why are you bragging like this?
Andy felt that he should now throw aside the rules of social etiquette and let Sirius fulfil the remaining 499 duels first.
He just can't beat him badly!
Unfortunately, this was only something that could be thought about.
If I act like that, I won't have any friends left.
"What's the afternoon training?"
Andy changed the subject naturally, "Is it still the practical application of spells and duelling skills?"
"No! The afternoon training is to strengthen Harry's practical magic skills."
Sirius said, "In Harry's current situation, it is unrealistic to make him a master of spells in a short period of time. Instead of wasting energy learning useless spells, it is better to focus all of his energy on a few key spells."
