HP Approaches the Magic World

"I want to give it to a special person, or rather, not a person."

Jon raised his eyes: "This gift is for the ghost of our academy, who used to be a monk."

"Oh, you mean Rencillo."

This is the benefit of living a long life. No matter where they are, she knows something about them, or at least has heard of them.

As a wizard who "defected" from the Holy See, Fat Friar Rencillo was very low-key, which became even more prominent after he became a Hufflepuff. In fact, except for the living people at the time and the ghosts now

, very few people know the past that belongs to the Fat Monk.

This is a secret. Even among the ghosts, only a few ghosts know his identity, and others don't even know his name.

"He used to be a monk of the Holy See, but he was just an undercover agent sent to the Holy See by wizards... You know the grudges between wizards and the Holy See. I think you should have received education in this aspect."

After getting Jon's affirmation, Perenal continued: "After he was discovered and escaped back to Hogwarts during the Wizarding War, he completely stayed in Hogwarts. Speaking of which, I

Did you just meet him... once?"

But this was not an important matter. Perenal took out another pocket watch engraved with a cross. This pocket watch was quite special and seemed to be transparent.

"The material of this watch is..." Perenal glanced at Jon's gaze and couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Can you see this watch?"

"Of course, I'm still wondering why this watch is transparent... is it made of crystal?"

Jon felt that this watch was very suitable, and Perenal's recommendation also gave him a lot of confidence. He felt that the fat monk would like this gift very much.

"This watch is not made of crystal. It is made of the bones and feathers of Thestrals. Even I only have one like this here."

"That should be expensive, right?" Jon said shyly, "I didn't bring that much money."

"No, there is no need for money. It is a kind of fate that you can come in. Besides, he and I are not short of money, so just treat this as a gift to you."

For some reason, Jon felt that the witch in front of him suddenly became enthusiastic. Of course, she was very enthusiastic before, but now she was even more enthusiastic, which made Jon a little confused.

But soon Jon knew the reason, because Perenal asked him a question.

…

After the transparent watch was wrapped in magic and put into the box, the witch suddenly asked.

"Jon, have you ever understood what death is?"

"What?"

Jon was stunned for a moment, his eyes confused.

"It's death, real death. If I have to use something to describe it, I think it should be a kind of... experience, just like you know the appearance of fire when you see it, and you know the fragrance of flowers when you smell them.

, any intelligent life will always understand the meaning of death at some point.

It's like you have just lost a very important person. This understanding may come from any time. At a certain moment when that person leaves, you suddenly understand what death is all about.

You even have your own personal experience to understand the meaning of death."

"Tell me, have you had any relevant experiences?"

Jon was silent and finally nodded.

It makes no sense for him to deny this kind of thing, because he just saw Yeqi.

Even if that magical creature dies, its essence has not completely dissipated.

Only those who have experienced death can see Thestrals.

Perenal smiled, as if her idea had been confirmed. She no longer stared at Jon, but looked outside the door. A few blocks away, the students were rushing back to school.

He and other walking wizards came and went in a hurry, not realizing that someone was watching them secretly.

"You have experienced death but have not died yet. It is really a lucky thing."

The witch's voice suddenly became hoarse: "After experiencing something like this, I think you should understand how fragile life is in this world."

"For this world, no matter how long life is, it is extremely small. In the face of death, when you truly see what death looks like, you will know your own helplessness and weakness, and thus see the person in the darkness.

true self."

It's like seeing your own reflection in the water, and it's an extremely distorted reflection.

The sounds in Jon's ears suddenly became blurry, but strangely, he could still hear Perenal's voice clearly, and he could even feel the witch's emotions.

Sadness and relief coexist here, forming a wonderful balance.

Then he realized that he was being brought into the resonance of Perenal's emotions.

This kind of resonance is not common, but it is not rare. Many powerful wizards can do this. After all, sometimes things that cannot be explained in words often appear. When Helga took him to see the origin of the world,

, that is the highest level of emotional resonance.

Perenal had no ill intentions, and Jon could feel the reality of her emotions conveyed in the resonance, so he was even more surprised.

It was obviously the first time we met, how could we trust him so much?

If it were myself...

Jon instantly cleared his mind. Although the emotional resonance was transmitted in one direction, no one knew what special abilities a witch like Perenal had, and he was indeed disrespecting others' trust by thinking this way.

He began to concentrate, listening to Perenal's words.

She said that "death" is a truth that comes with time. No matter how powerful the wizard or magic is, it will be difficult to avoid the erosion of death until it has the power to resist time.

That's why in the age of gods, such a creed was passed down by the followers of gods.

"All things will eventually wither, but only those who are protected by gods can have eternal life."

I don't know why, this sentence appeared in Jon's mind out of thin air, and then he read it out in a low voice.

"Yes, but even the gods have not succeeded in getting rid of the consequences of death. This is the fate of life."

Perenal said appreciatively that she liked this about the children of the ancient family. They didn't need to explain anything in detail. They knew at least a little about everything because of their family history.

"In order to avoid death, the wizards and the followers of the Holy See have made countless efforts and attempts, and even done many evil things. Everything they did was just to survive."

The witch said quietly:

"But is it a good thing to actually survive?"
