Chapter 14: Lupin's Return
It's been a few days since Lupin left, and their money-making plans have basically taken shape in the past few days. Jack's registered company collects metal materials, Daisy exchanges metal materials and goblins for gold, and then gives the gold to Jack's company to operate, trying to gradually exchange it for cash without affecting the price of gold.
And all this has nothing to do with Seamus, his main purpose now is to work hard to learn magic and make himself stronger. After signing the contract last time, Jack lost part of his memory and couldn't remember anything about it.
Seamus also has a better understanding of contracts, which can be said to be something close to the law of cause and effect. Only the three of them have signed the contract, so only the three of them can know what it says. They didn't reveal what it was after signing the contract, and that's why. And other than the three of them, there are people who know the above content, and this is the fruit. If cause and effect do not match, then the power of the contract will correct this part.
For the past few days, Daisy has not found time to teach him magic, but fortunately, he is no longer a novice and can teach himself. The ability panel still stored most of the books in the Blotted Bookstore, but he didn't have time to peruse them yet. His main focus is on the three books he bought.
Although the ability panel can double the rewards for his efforts, there is still no way to finish these books in a short period of time. The most limiting reason for him is the existence of Trace, although he has not yet gone to school, but if Tracer detects that there is only him around, there are no other adult wizards, and he is still using magic frequently, maybe he will send him a letter.
In order not to take this risk, Daisy can only practice magic when she is at home, and the rest of the time can only read the magic book. That afternoon, he was reading a magic book in the living room, when a bang sounded and Lupin appeared in the living room. His face was pale, with a few shallow scratches on his face, and instead of wearing the shabby robe of the time, he was wearing a dark robe with a cleansing charm.
Although Seamus guessed where the scratches on his face came from, he asked Lupin, "What's the matter, is your face scratched by a branch?"
Lupin was a little nervous for a moment, and then replied, "I didn't pay attention to something on my face, maybe I was scratched by something." ”
After speaking, he took out a bottle of white fresh, wiped it on his face, and the scratches disappeared in an instant, and then smiled and said, "Not now, right?"
"Well, no. Seamus echoed and poured him a cup of black tea, "What have you been doing these days, did Dumbledore say what this is?"
Lupin took a sip of black tea and relaxed on the sofa: "Dumbledore told me that it is not uncommon for you to have such a situation, and there are not many owners of this special magic. His Transfiguration is also completely different from other people's. From the start, the range is greater than others, and the manipulation is more precise. ”
"So this special magic is exclusive to the individual, and everyone's is different?" said Seamus after a moment's thought.
"Not exactly, what Dumbledore told me is exactly what you described, that when you use that particular magic, the magic in your body will fluctuate unnaturally, and he calls that fluctuation the property of mana. Although there are not too many people with this attribute, there are quite a few, and some people have almost the same attribute, so there will be people who have the same attribute. Lupin said as he recalled.
It seems that he did go to Dumbledore in the past few days, Seamus thought to himself, Dumbledore knew that Lupin was a werewolf as early as when Lupin was still in school at Hogwarts, but not only did he not expose this matter, but he also planted a beating willow to help cover up this fact, and for this reason, there was also a screaming shack, which was actually Lupin's howl after becoming a werewolf.
"So is it possible to imitate this kind of fluctuation, and if it can be imitated, does it mean that others can also learn this special magic? Seamus still didn't believe it, if fluctuations represent the attribute of magic power, then why would the ability panel call it talent.
"It should be unlikely, according to Dumbledore, he had a friend when he was young who also had this special magic, but they didn't learn each other, not even Professor Dumbledore, I don't think anyone could learn it. Lupin held the black tea and nestled in the sofa, as if he felt a little cold.
"The most important thing is that, according to my own feelings and those of my friends when I was in school, a large number of people don't have the ability to feel magic fluctuations, at least long after I graduated. You can't even feel the magic fluctuations, so you don't have to imitate them. ”
"Then Remus, you know this special kind of magic now. ”
"I've never felt the magic on any special event of the spell. He sighed.
"So it's a matter of luck? Then you should try some more spells, maybe there will be. Seamus comforted him.
"I don't need you to comfort me yet, Dumbledore has already told me, this is probably related to the wizard bloodline, the better the wizard bloodline, the higher your magic level will be than your peers, the easier it is to feel the fluctuation of magic power, and people like you do have talents far beyond ordinary people. Lupin said angrily.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I won't be proud, I'm still a beginner after all. Seamus was a little embarrassed to be said.
Regardless of where he was smug, Lupin looked at him and said, "One more thing, Professor Dumbledore wants to meet with you. ”
"Why did you want to meet me, is it because I studied magic in advance, and he is coming to expel me?" Seamus was a little panicked.
According to the understanding of the previous life, it is impossible to say what kind of person Dumbledore is, but there are a few points that are undisputed. He must have been a man of great wisdom and was willing to give up his life for the sake of his own plans. can't simply define him as a good person, it can only be said that he is a persistent and great person, looking at the entire 7 Harry Potter, counting Voldemort and Grindelwald, he may also be the most genius.
Most geniuses are paranoid, and Dumbledore is no exception, he always firmly believes that Harry Potter must be able to fight Voldemort, and always can't let go of his sister Ariana.
The last thing Dumbledore can't let go of is family affection, he also had a nostalgia for power when he was young, but later because of the death of his sister, he let go of everything and stayed at Hogwarts to educate generations of wizards. And if it weren't for the curse of the resurrection stone because he couldn't let go of his sister, maybe the final battle wouldn't have had anything to do with Harry Potter, the savior.
In general, Seamus's attitude towards Dumbledore is definitely respectful, and now he has a spiritual guard, so he can not be afraid of the dementor, otherwise he will never meet Dumbledore. In case the memories of the traverser are seen, let him know that he is just a character in a book, and who knows what will happen later.
"Professor Dumbledore doesn't care about these things, he is the one who wants to see, who I praise to the sky. Lupin said with a smile.
Seamus stared at him with wide eyes, what are you doing, have I offended you somewhere, you are harming me, why do I bother to get spiritual protection, the most important thing is not to guard against Dumbledore. It's good that you brought him here on purpose, and said that you weren't cheating me.
"Then he said when and where to meet, and I can prepare. Seeing that Lupin completely ignored him, he could only say helplessly.
"Dumbledore said that the time is up to you, and when you have thought about it, write to him with an owl, and the owl will find him, and then he will come to visit your house. Lupin said nonchalantly, "You don't want to see Dumbledore so much, this is the greatest white wizard of all time." ”
"You know what, of course you don't care. Seamus took a sip of the black tea in the cup, "What does it feel like for a student to be visited by the principal before he goes to school, you have already graduated, of course you are not afraid." ”
"I see, don't worry, Professor Dumbledore is still quite amiable. Lupin put down the black tea in his hand, "Most of the time. ”
"Okay, I'll get back to you after I've discussed it with Daisy. Seamus put down the cup in his hand and said with fighting spirit, "Let's start today's practice." ”
The two got up from the couch and walked to the middle of the living room, standing two meters apart facing each other, ready to start today's magic study.
Seamus could see that Lupin was not as steady as he had been when they had last separated, as if he had just come over. At that time, Seamus thought it was a long journey and looked dusty, but he didn't expect it to be weak after the full moon.
"Repeat what you've learned before, and see if you've been rusty in the past few days. Lupin is back in the state of a teacher.
Seeing that Lupin was about to start today's teaching, Seamus also let go of his thoughts and put the magic book in his hand on the coffee table.
"It's not rusty, but it's not getting better. Seamus picked up his wand, "I don't dare to practice magic at home these days, for fear that an owl will come to me with a letter from the Ministry of Magic." ”
"That's right, I forgot about it. Lupin said it was understandable, "Let's get started." ”
The Ministry of Magic is really not very good in some aspects, not to mention why the traces are added, and there is no way to accurately sense it after adding it, so I really don't know what the meaning of existence is.
"Fluorescent flickering. ”
Before Lupin could finish speaking, Seamus did not hesitate to release the Flash Charm, wanting to take revenge on Lupin.
However, when the light dissipated, Seamus turned around and found that Lupin had turned the carpet into a wall in front of him, blocking all the bright light, and Lu Ping was unharmed.
"You still want to plot against me, you're still a little too tender, and I know what you're going to do when you move your wand. Lupin laughed as he turned the wall back into a carpet.
"This time it's you who react quickly. "There is no plot against Lupin, and Seamus is helpless.
Seeing that his sneak attack had no effect on him, Seamus could only practice magic honestly.
After the practice, Lupin smiled and said, "It's not bad, it seems that it's time to take you to the world." ”
