Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 23: The exam has already started before the school starts

Things in the hazy fantasy can actually be brought out!
Ian seemed to have discovered another great secret.

Think about it.

Since he could bring things like candy and chocolate into the fantasy world, then it didn't seem to be a big deal that he could bring things out of the fantasy world.

"It really is a fantasy world."

Ian looked at the pieces of dress in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Otherwise, how can we say it is a world of idealism?

There are too many mysteries in this world that have not yet been discovered.

If Ian had not been lucky enough to obtain such a talent, it is unknown how many years it would take for the living people in this world to touch upon things related to the mysterious illusion.

The living stop.

Only the dead can enter.

Even if Ian told other wizards or scholars who studied the mysterious world about his discoveries, they would definitely not be able to verify them.

For most wizards.

Everything in the hazy fantasy world is an adventure that can only be experienced after death.

Therefore.

About the blurred fantasy.

Even the greatest wizards in the world know very little.

It is a territory that only ghosts can set foot in, but Ian can actually bring back clothes from the ghosts. This makes Ian re-examine his views on the hazy fantasy world.

"Isn't it just a pure land of the netherworld?"

Take care.

Ghosts are just energy.

But the pieces of dress in my hands feel so real.

The boundary between illusion and reality has obviously become blurred, and Ian can only guess based on his own memories. Perhaps such a gift to the "real world" is not something that can be done easily?

He noticed.

Teacher Mara deliberately tore a piece of her dress off from her body. With her ability, she could use anything around her to transform it into a realistic parchment.

however.

But the other party needs to tear off her beautiful, decent dress... Does this mean that only in this way can Ian bring her back to the world from the hazy fantasy?
"Probably!"

Ian looked at his other hand. Before his figure disappeared in the hazy illusion, he was clearly still holding the magic wand that Teacher Mara had transformed from a metal picture frame.

however.

The magic wand was not brought out with him, just like the experiments Ian had done with the flowers and plants in the misty fantasy when he first acquired this talent.

Originally, Ian thought that since these were things from the world of the dead, it was normal that the flowers and other things in them could not be brought back to the human world. He always felt that the hazy fantasy might just be a world composed purely of "energy".

However, now, this perception has been denied. The pieces of dress in his hand, which even felt a little warm, forced Ian to re-evaluate his views on the hazy illusion.

Even if you want to bring things out of the hazy fantasy, you may need to meet certain conditions or rules, but this ultimately shows that the boundary between life and death is not impossible to break. If the clothes of the dead can break this boundary, does it also mean that... the dead themselves can also return to the world?

"Hiss~ This is such a bold idea!"

The more Ian thought about it, the more his heart throbbed.

This is definitely a taboo topic.

but.

If there really is a way to bring the dead back to the mortal world, then, leaving aside ethics and other messy factors, this would definitely be an achievement that would make him go down in history!

Perhaps his great achievements will be recorded on the celebrity cards of the Chocolate Frog!
"Fame and fortune are secondary. If I can find Lily Potter's soul and bring it back to this world, won't Harry Potter give me all the Galleons in his vault?"

"Lily Potter, if you cheer a little more, we won't be watching the traditional Harry Potter leveling up and fighting monsters anymore. We'll just jump to Snape exploding and hitting Voldemort on the head!"

Such an idea may just be Ian's childish imagination.

only.

Who can really tell?

There is a rule in this world, that is, love is the most powerful magic... Isn't the love of a dog that is extremely infatuated also a manifestation of love?
"There's a way! There's a way!"

The more Ian thought about it, the more he felt that this was a direction worth investing his energy in.

Maybe. I'll enter the misty fantasy world again next time.

You can ask Teacher Mara, who knows a lot of profound knowledge, about this matter. Although the witch in the castle doesn't look like a good person, she is actually teaching Ian magic knowledge. No matter what the purpose is, Ian has become her apprentice.

Will such a teacher-student relationship be good or bad in the future?

No one can know.

At least at this moment, it seems that having a teacher who can answer his questions and teach him is definitely not a bad thing for Ian.

"I don't know if the mirror that Teacher Mara wants is the magic mirror in the school." Ian has not forgotten the request that the witch made to him when they first met. Although the witch accepted him as an apprentice without getting the mirror, he could see that the witch still cared about the mirror.

There is a request.

Nature should also give back.

This is Ian's approach to life.

No one was born to owe him anything and no one needed to pay for him unconditionally... Even the bag of gold coins left by Snape and the gold galleons spent on purchasing books and necessities, Ian felt that they were just things Snape lent him. He did not like and would not enjoy the feeling of taking advantage of anyone.

"Maybe if I find the magic mirror and bring it to Teacher Mara, she will be so happy that she will teach me the other two of the three unforgivable curses."

Anyway, I have learned the killing curse.

Azkaban is booked.

Ian felt that he would be at a loss if he didn't get a complete set.

It’s just like playing Genshin Impact.

After all, I want to collect all the character cards.

The reason why Chocolate Frog sells so well is just like the magician card collection marketing in Ian's memory. They both take advantage of the same obsessive-compulsive psychology.

"This homework shouldn't be some kind of black magic." After sorting out some speculations about the blurry illusion, Ian finally turned his attention back to the fragments of the dress.

The moonlight outside the window is bright.

But it couldn't illuminate the dim words on the dress fragments.

"Lumos!"

Ian took out his elderberry wand. While he successfully cast magic to illuminate the surrounding environment, he also gained three points of proficiency in the [Illumination Spell].

"Learn a new magic!"

Ian excitedly moved the light source closer to the dress fragments.

next moment.

He was dumbfounded.

I saw.

The words engraved on the dress fragments were drawn with some unknown means. They were crooked, twisted, and strange, piecing together a text that he could not understand at all.

"Ancient writing?"

Ian felt something was wrong.

He seemed to have seen an introduction to this kind of writing somewhere.

"textbook!"

Ian's heart skipped a beat.

He jumped up from the bed, rushed to the place where he kept various textbooks and other items, and pulled out one of his textbooks from the pile.

"Magic Theory", by Adalbert Waffling.

Ian flipped through the pages relying on his memory and soon stopped at the introduction to the origin of magic. He found what he was looking for in the introduction to ancient magic runes.

The same crooked, twisted and strange words.

"This is ancient magic rune!"

Ian looked at the textbook, which was only a first-grade textbook and did not provide detailed information on the relevant knowledge, but only gave a brief introduction. He finally understood what the witch meant by homework.

It's not just about learning magic.

Instead, one needs to learn the ancient magic words that record this new magic.

Yes.

Magic recorded in magic runes may be secondary.

This winding magic rune is the real homework!
