108. Purposeful action
"Ravenclaw-like power?"
Professor Flitwick looked at Scott with a curious eye, trying to figure out what he meant.
Scott, however, said: "Ravenclaws tend to focus only on what interests them, and they tend to be indifferent to other things. ”
Professor Flitwick nodded, Ravenclaw did produce a lot of nerds and lunatics in the eyes of others.
"But only we know what we're after."
Scott said again.
"Our college name means raven's claw, and we are greedy for knowledge, but often dismissive of power and fame."
He paused at this point, and then added, "Except for a few like Professor Lockhart." ”
Professor Flitwick nodded at first, but his face turned a little ugly at the hearing of Lockhart's name.
He lamented, "Lockhart...... That's probably the weirdest Ravenclaw I've ever seen......"
Scott shrugged, "Speaking of which, he's just focusing on what he's interested in......"
Jokingly, he continued: "Our representative element is the wind, and the wind among the four elements represents change, rationality, abstraction, wit, sociability, language, but also disputes, lack of emotion, lack of foundation, and impetuousness. ”
"Looks like you've done a lot of research on this." Professor Flitwick smiled.
Scott wistfully said, "Ravenclaw power, that's an ideal state of my imagination." ”
Professor Flitwick looked at him encouragingly.
Scott coughed lightly, "Ravenclaw is like an eagle hovering in the sky and at the top of the tower, and can not participate in the battle on the ground, but has a keen eye to see everything from above. ”
He added: "I don't participate just because I don't want to, I want no one to be able to influence my position and actions, I want to be the freest wizard." ”
"Freedom?" Professor Flitwick whispered, "Indeed, Ravenclaws are free and we respect each other's individuality and aspirations...... But the freest wizard? ”
He laughed, "Sure enough, it's an ideal state. ”
Scott also smiled and said: "Gryffindor has the 'greatest' wizard like Headmaster Dumbledore, and even Slytherin has a Dark Lord who has influenced countless people, and Ravenclaw can certainly have one of the most liberal wizards." ”
"Oh, Scott."
Professor Flitwick couldn't help but remind Scott.
"Dumbledore is known as the greatest wizard of the century, and not just because he was a wizard with great powers."
He said earnestly.
"More so because of his great contribution to peace in England and even in Europe as a whole, and even his far-reaching influence internationally."
"I understand, Professor."
Scott nodded.
"Although I'm not interested in maintaining world peace or anything like that." "But I've always felt that wizards are different from Muggles only in magic, and that the progress of magic is the progress of wizards." ”
"It seems that your ambitions are even greater than mine."
Listening to Scott's similar outrageous words, Professor Flitwick did not dismiss him at the first time.
He just looked at Scott with a new look and said in an emotional tone: "But when you are young, who hasn't thought about it like this? ”
He smiled again and said, "I thought about this when I was younger, and that was after I decided to specialize in the magic art of enchantment. ”
Scott listened silently as he reminisced about the past.
"I've done a lot of work to summarize and rework the existing knowledge of magic spells, and I want to build on the previous ones, and I want to invent something new to surprise everyone."
Professor Flitwick said, dancing.
"I've achieved some results and I've had a lot of fun with it, even if I didn't live up to my expectations. Of course, I'm still working on it. ”
"You're already one of the most accomplished spellmasters." Scott complimented him sincerely.
"But what I once wanted to do was not one, but the only one, and that was the gap between dreams and reality."
Professor Flitwick looked at Scott earnestly.
"It's certainly good for young people to have high ideals, and I'd love to see my students have dreams that surpass those who came before them, but I just want to remind you ......"
He became more and more earnest.
"You have to be mentally prepared to face that kind of gap, don't lose yourself in your dreams, and don't be easily affected by anything."
Scott understood Professor Flitwick's painstaking efforts, and he was a little moved, and nodded solemnly.
"Professor, can I use magic here?"
He pulled out his wand and asked Professor Flitwick for it.
"Oh, of course." Professor Flitwick looked at him curiously, "Do you have anything to show me?" ”
He pulled out his wand and waved it lightly, casting a silent spell.
"Okay, that's it." He motioned for Scott to start the show, "With me here, of course you can use magic." ”
None of the others in the café noticed the strange behavior of the old and the young in this corner.
"I think it's a very valuable achievement."
Scott said confidently.
He took a piece of ebony from his leather pouch, waved his wand and lit it.
The ebony quickly deformed into a small fairy statue.
Immediately afterward, Scott used the tip of his wand to carve an ancient inscription on the fairy statue.
That's Sowilo, which represents the sun or light.
Professor Flitwick watched Scott's operation curiously, but did not interrupt him.
"Next ......"
Scott waved his wand again.
…… It was the moment of witnessing the miracle, and he meditated in his heart.
The statue, which had been stationary, moved and turned into a real little fairy, which flew up with transparent, glittering wings.
"Oh!"
Professor Flitwick's eyes widened.
"That's a ...... Incredible......"
He looked at Scott excitedly.
"Never...... No wizard has ever done that......" his voice was sharp and stammered, "You've combined ancient magic and transfiguration to conjure up real magical beasts!" ”
"I think it's very promising, and I can only do it as simple as I can now, but ......"
He also said with some excitement: "As the transformation techniques and ancient magic texts I have mastered become stronger and stronger, and even go further, and bless them with various spells, can I conjure more powerful magical beasts?" ”
He said what he envisioned.
"Theoretically, even magical creatures like dragons and phoenixes could have been born under the tip of my wand! Even...... Even those mythical and powerful creatures that don't exist in reality can ......"
"This is crazy...... Professor Flitwick muttered.
He shook his head.
"No, don't think about that yet, Scott."
He looked at the fairy flying on the table with some obsession.
"Although I am very optimistic about your future, your path should be taken step by step, don't be in a hurry."
"Of course, you're right."
Scott said obediently.
He's done that.
His presentation was of course intended to prove his worth in front of Professor Flitwick.
A young Muggle-born wizard like him would not have the help of his family to grow up in magic, and there would be no one to escort him at all times.
In order to get these "resources", he had to find another way -
By talking about the various things about Ravenclaw, I will get closer to Professor Flitwick as the dean of Ravenclaw, and then prove my worth further.
These are all actions he has taken in order to get the best training from his professors.
Of course, Scott also understands that Professor Flitwick, who is also a smart man, can actually see his "calculations".
After all, Professor Flitwick is only kind, not honest.
But it doesn't matter.
Scott knew that Professor Flitwick wouldn't care about that, and in the eyes of a Ravenclaw, it wasn't much of a deal to get himself a chance.
