Professor Flitwick has something to do with himself?

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

It should be a thesis thing.

This would be a good opportunity, perhaps to find an excuse to ask Professor Flitwick for a loan sign from the forbidden area.

The task of borrowing books in the forbidden area on the task panel is almost complete.

But what excuse is appropriate?

On the way to Professor Charm's office on the eighth floor of the West Tower, Albert had been thinking about this for a long time, and when he knocked on the wooden door of Professor Flitwick's office, he still didn't have a good idea.

"Professor, what's wrong with me?" Albert felt a little special when he first entered Professor Flitwick's office. Presumably because of Professor Flitwick's height, there were stairs on the bookshelves that could be moved freely, and the chair where Professor Flitwick sat was too tall, and there was a bench next to the chair that could be used to cushion the feet.

"Anderson, sit down!" Professor Flitwick said calmly, "the paper you wrote last time was published in Magic Innovations. ”

As he spoke, he placed the magazine in front of Albert and flipped to the page of the paper.

"Katrina just told me. ”

"That's right, the editor-in-chief of Spell Innovation wanted to know you, so he sent me a letter. Professor Flitwick handed Albert a letter and continued: "He probably thought it was a bit presumptuous to send you a letter directly. ”

"I can understand that if he did that, I would think he was a liar. Albert took the letter and looked at Professor Flitwick and asked, "Can I take it apart now?"

"Oh, of course. ”

Albert opened the letter and glanced at its contents, the owner of the letter pointed out a few minor flaws in his paper in a very tactful tone, and showed a willingness to exchange letters with him, and the other party also expressed the hope that he would continue to publish papers in Magic Innovation.

The letter to Albert struck me that Mr. Epheas was a little too enthusiastic.

"Isn't the editor-in-chief of Spell Innovation named Epheas Dorjee?" Albert asked, looking up in confusion.

"It's true that Efias isn't the editor-in-chief, but he's the one who can really influence Curse Innovation. Professor Flitwick explained.

"I see. Albert nodded in understanding.

"Anderson, whether you want to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future or specialize in spells, it doesn't hurt to have more contact with people in this field. Professor Flitwick kindly reminded.

"Thank you, Professor. Albert had no intention of going further in this direction, but he did not forget to express his gratitude to the other party, knowing that Professor Flitwick had said this in good faith.

"By the way, Professor, I saw two profound spells in the library a while ago. ”

"A profound spell?" Professor Flitwick couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"It's the Patronus Charm and the Loyalty Charm. "I'm interested in them, but I've only found information on the Patronus Charm, where do you know where to find the Loyalty Charm?"

Professor Flitwick was a little stunned, he didn't think that Albert had actually begun to come into contact with these advanced magic. He asked tentatively, "You've already started learning the Patronus Charm?"

"Well, I've been trying to practice it two weeks ago, and it's a bit difficult to ......," Albert summed up a bit, and said, "It's said that when this spell is successful, it can summon a physical Patronus, but I can't quite understand what it means...... Does it mean that after reciting the mantra, the spell will no longer emit a cloud of white light, but will condense into a physical Patronus?"

Albert began to steer the conversation in the direction he needed.

"There's nothing wrong with that. However, the Patronus Charm is a very advanced form of magic, and it is often used to ward off Dementors. Professor Flitwick thought for a moment, but still suggested, "When casting a spell, you need to concentrate and think about the happiest things in your heart, because the Patronus Charm advocates happiness and hope, but it requires a very strong magical power as the foundation, and this spell may be too reluctant for you now." Even if you can't summon a physical patronus for the time being, don't worry, you still have a lot of room to grow. ”

"I know. Albert nodded and asked, "What about the Loyalty Charm?" it is said to be a powerful and complex protective spell. ”

"Yes, it's very complicated. Professor Flitwick seemed to be considering whether to tell Albert about it, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "It involves using magic to hide a secret in the soul of a living person?"

"Hide the secret in your soul?"

"Yes, keep this secret in the heart of the chosen secret, and no one else will be able to discover it. Unless, of course, this confidential person deliberately divulges. ”

"So, the Dash of Allegiance is a good way to hide things?" Albert pretended he didn't understand, but in fact, he was a little confused.

He remembered that the Loyalty Charm could hide people from anyone but the secret one. As Professor Flitwick meant, it seemed that there were other uses for the spell, or that he had misunderstood the Loyalty Charm.

Of course, you're not wrong that way. Professor Flitwick was silent for a few seconds before nodding.

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

"Yes, yes, but ......," Professor Flitwick asked, staring at Albert, "the Loyalty Charm is too hard for you right now. By the way, what do you want to hide with it?"

"My diary. Without thinking, Albert said, "That way, I don't have to worry about being peeked at in my diary." ”

Professor Flitwick was speechless, he really couldn't understand Albert's mode of thinking.

Noticing Professor Flitwick's silence, Albert continued, "Professor, is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also protected by the Loyalty Charm?"

"No, the scope of Hogwarts is too large, and after the death of the Secret Keeper, all those who know about its existence will automatically become a Secret One, and the more people who know about it, the more people will be able to weaken its power and become unreliable. Professor Flitwick shook his head.

"I still want to learn this spell, can you teach me?" Albert said, "I think it's a very useful spell. ”

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

"Professor......," Albert said suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

"The Patronus Charm has been documented for a long time. Albert expressed his doubts, "However, the wizards of the past used ancient scripts, so why is the Patronus Charm in English now? It seems that it is also possible to recite the spell in the language of other countries, so what is the meaning of the existence of the spell?"
