The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific

Chapter 168 The Creative Alchemy Life

The third day of school.

Thursday, September rd.

Ravenclaw will have a Charms lesson this morning with Gryffindor, and then a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson with Slytherin.

Andy enjoyed Charms class.

Professor Flitwick is easy to talk to and has a kind personality.

Whenever he finished his lectures and let the little wizards practice magic by themselves, he always took time to answer some of Andy's doubts about magic.

"Mr. Collins, I heard that your Patronus Charm has been successfully improved, can you let me have a look?"

Professor Flitwick looked very excited, "To be honest, if I weren't worried about being too presumptuous, I would have wanted to visit your home during the holidays."

Uh... home visit or something, Andy is indeed a bit psychologically shadowed.

That was a matter of my previous life.

"Of course, I'm honored."

Andy waved his wand, and the Fat Cat Patronus jumped out from the tip of the wand and stopped in front of Professor Flitwick.

"It was incredible."

Professor Flitwick was so excited that he was about to faint. He stared at the Fat Cat Patronus with bright eyes, "It seems that it already possesses a certain amount of wisdom. to this point."

"Huh...?" Andy was a little confused.

Professor Flitwick explained: "Remember the Sorting Hat? It's not a simple matter to make objects intelligent. That's already in the realm of alchemy."

Andy was taken aback when he heard this, is it difficult?

The Sorting Hat, the portraits in the castle, they all have their own wisdom.They can even talk and have independent personalities, emotions, and preferences.

Including the car modified by Mr. Weasley, and some magic photos, they also have preliminary wisdom.

Andy always thought it was normal.

As if seeing Andy's doubts, Professor Flitwick explained with a smile: "The reason why the Sorting Hat is special is because it is different."

"The sorting hat, be creative!"

Andy was dumbfounded.

The Sorting Hat...creative?

Yes!indeed so!
Every year at the commencement dinner, the Sorting Hat sings a song.That was a song that he spent a whole year writing, arranging and composing independently - even though it was very difficult to listen to.

"Professor, what do you mean...?" Andy understood a little bit, but felt like he didn't understand anything.

Professor Flitwick explained: "The portraits in the castle seem to be intelligent and can even communicate with us normally and express some preferences and emotions."

"But those are just set in advance."

"If I draw a portrait for you now and ask you to input your emotions and memories into the portrait, can you say that the portrait is intelligent?"

Andy thought for a moment and shook his head slowly.

That shouldn't be considered true wisdom, can it?
It was just programmed using my memory and emotions.

Just like artificial intelligence.

“Only with creativity can it be called true wisdom.”

Professor Flitwick looked at the fat cat patron saint in front of him, "Your patron saint is like a newborn baby. It may not be very intelligent, or even a little ignorant, but it is different from those portraits."

Andy frowned slightly and asked: "Professor, I remember that the Sorting Hat was originally just an ordinary hat. It was only the four founders who injected their thoughts into the Sorting Hat that gave it wisdom."

"What's the difference between it and those portraits?"

Obviously the production methods are the same.

"Of course there is a difference!"

"While they appear to be made in the same way, they are actually different," Professor Flitwick said.

"It's like the spell you just cast."

"There is an essential difference between casting magic by chanting a spell, and telling magic directly 'I want to cast a spell'."

Is it a fusion of emotion and magic?

Andy seemed to realize something in his heart.

Professor Flitwick continued: "The portraits in the castle require regular maintenance, but the Sorting Hat does not. It is an even alchemical item."

"And your Patronus Charm is even more special than the courtyard hat."

Speaking of this, Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up, "Although alchemy beings with true wisdom are rare, they are not uncommon in the magic world."

"But let magic have wisdom..."

Professor Flitwick's eyes exuded a light called 'obsession'.

Andy also looked at the fat cat patron saint, are you so worried?

"perhaps you're right."

Professor Flitwick said suddenly, "The Patronus Charm is a spell invented by ancient wizards in silence."

Andy's eyes flashed.

The Obscurus is a dark parasitic magical force, it can even be regarded as a magical animal.

The famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander wrote about the Obscurus in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

The wizard's emotions and memories are fused with magic power, thus giving birth to a new life...

"Teach, professor!"

Andy stuttered and asked, "Is this... dangerous?"

Silence is fatal.

It is recorded in the book that none of the Obscurans parasitized by the Obscurus can live to be more than ten years old.

My patron saint, shouldn't he also die?
"It shouldn't be possible, right? The Patronus Charm is a magic that has been passed down from ancient times to this day."

Professor Flitwick guessed: "But I guess, there shouldn't be too many wizards who can mutate the Patronus. What's more, maybe you're the only one."

only me?
Andy raised his eyebrows, maybe this was really possible.

Perhaps ancient wizards and modern wizards cast spells differently, but one thing must be the same.

After the age of ten, the magic power in the little wizard's body will gradually stabilize.

"Don't think too much."

Professor Flitwick patted Andy's arm, "If you want to know if your Patronus is in danger, just keep researching."

Andy: "..."

It's not you who is in danger, of course you can say that.

After discussing magic with Andy for a while, Professor Flitwick was busy instructing other little wizards again.

The appearance of the patron saint of the fat cat made the little wizards talk a lot, they had never seen such a magical magic.

What kind of magic is that?
What's the use of that fat cat?

Can we learn?

These questions need to be answered by Professor Flitwick one by one.

"Andy, is the Patronus Charm really dangerous?" Hermione sat next to Andy, and naturally heard the conversation between Andy and Professor Flitwick.

"The Patronus Charm is not black magic, how could it be dangerous."

Andy smiled, "If there was really any danger, Professor Flitwick wouldn't let me continue my research."

What Professor Flitwick said was actually judging that the Patronus Charm was not dangerous.

"makes sense."

Hermione nodded, and then said expectantly: "I really want to see what your Patronus will become in the end."

Andy also has some expectations.

The current state of this fat cat, could it be that it is pregnant?
Do you want to add fuel to the fire?
