Chapter 477: The Greatest Magic
"Professor Marcus Marcus Maige."
Jia Siting looked at the tall witch, her emerald robes also stained with golden luster in the sunset.
"Headmaster Dumbledore."
Jia Siting said again; the old wizard with a long, white beard was blinking kindly.
"How did you—get here?!"
Professor Marcus Marcus Maige looked at Jia Siting, her tone already somewhat dangerous.
Jia Siting silently moved his foot out from behind the 【Forbidden Forest, No Entry】 sign a little bit.
Now he was at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, so it couldn't be counted as going in.
This scene made Minerva Marcus Marcus Maige both annoyed and amused, and then Headmaster Dumbledore spoke with a smile; his silver-white long beard and half-moon glasses were shining in the sunset:
"Look quickly, Minerva, it seems we can see more interesting magical creatures than Thestrals."
Jia Siting wanted to escape; he had already anticipated what would happen next.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the seedlings in the pumpkin patch were frighteningly large, and the fire dragon that was about to emerge would be too.
In Dumbledore's interest and Professor Marcus Marcus Maige's trembling eyes, Hagrid roared joyfully.
Immediately, a fire dragon appeared!
It stood on its hind legs, roaring, breathing fire—balls of flame sprayed from its open, fanged mouth, shooting into the dark night sky; its neck was raised high, and its mouth was thirty feet from the ground.
Looking at this fire dragon that was five times larger than usual, Jia Siting didn't hesitate to take pictures.
After a brief and precise perception, facing a strange intuition, he understood that his guesses seemed to be correct.
Eating more magical creature cookies indeed allows one to gain more magical power. But at the same time, accepting such magic is also a huge test for a wizard.
So, for different wizards, Jia Siting seems to be able to strengthen or weaken the ritual, which is another interesting direction...
"Jia Siting Green!"
Jia Siting didn't dare to look back; Professor Marcus Marcus Maige, wearing glasses and with her hair tightly tied into a small bun, walked up quickly and blocked Jia Siting. But her anger seemed even more terrifying than the flames of a Norwegian Ridgeback.
Headmaster Dumbledore gave Jia Siting a helpless smile, then looked at the fire dragon Hagrid had transformed into.
After perfecting his guess, Jia Siting sighed silently; Professor Marcus Marcus Maige and Headmaster Dumbledore appeared too coincidentally...
Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence?
He looked at the smiling old wizard.
Dumbledore didn't seem to have any precautions against the fire dragon Hagrid had transformed into, even though Hagrid looked so terrifying now—this made Jia Siting frown thoughtfully.
Then his figure slowly disappeared, and a black cat also opened its bright vertical pupils.
As Jia Siting expected, even after completing the magical creature transformation, the pine scent on Hagrid's body didn't seem to change.
This also seemed to correspond to the rules about Animagus transformation in Professor Marcus Marcus Maige's notes:
Animagus will transform into an animal that fits the wizard's own soul based on the special potential shown by the wizard.
Soul transformation will not change the wizard's personality, which means that if a person with malice transforms into a fire dragon, it will likely cause destruction;
If it is someone like Hagrid who transforms into a fire dragon, it will be like this now—the fire dragon sits beside Dumbledore, wagging its tail like Fang, smashing one giant pit after another.
This made Professor Marcus Marcus Maige, who was holding her wand and looking vigilant, somewhat speechless.
……
The next morning, in the Headmaster's office.
"I think you have mastered the knack, right, child? Some magic is engraved in the depths of our souls... for example... love."
Headmaster Dumbledore's deep gaze fell on Jia Siting.
"It means that no matter how the appearance changes, there is always some rule that will be followed.
Such great magic can help us accomplish many things, including what you have always wanted to do.
Make good use of the soul holy relic, its effects are not few—"
When the thin mist passed through the entire Headmaster's office, Jia Siting walked out the door thoughtfully.
On his shoulder, Bai Yi was resting quietly, drowsy.
Walking into the dark, Bai Yi finally woke up a bit.
If the fire dragon Hagrid transformed into would obey Headmaster Dumbledore's instructions, would Bai Yi listen to his own words?
In the Hope Cottage, Mr. Owl kept flapping, grabbing and hitting Bai Yi, but this was destined to be futile, after all, it was just a portrait.
It was in such contemplation that Jia Siting kept reading "Simple Introduction to Empty Talismans" until the second night arrived.
The night was damp and windy, but Hagrid's hut was always warm.
When Jia Siting fed a Horklump cookie to Bai Yi, Hagrid was still showing joy:
"Oh my, what a beautiful girl—look at these feathers, look at these claws—"
Jia Siting didn't see anything.
Distinguishing the gender of an owl is based on some features that are not very different, and only a wizard like Hagrid, who loves magical creatures and understands them deeply, would see it at a glance.
Bai Yi "cooed", and soon transformed into a Horklump with white fur; it jumped onto Jia Siting's shoulder unsteadily, as if this were its territory.
"Bai Yi?"
Jia Siting called.
The Horklump tilted its head gently, making a strange cat sound in confusion.
"Come to my hand, okay?"
Jia Siting said again.
But Bai Yi didn't seem to understand anything, just meowed.
Jia Siting, feeling something, took out something like a stone slab; he waved his wand, and some small ropes strung the empty talisman together, falling onto Jia Siting's neck like a necklace.
This time, Bai Yi seemed to understand; it jumped happily onto Jia Siting's hand, also making Jia Siting feel his heart slowly heating up.
It seems that the soul holy relic can help Jia Siting establish some subtle, soul-level communication.
Which also allows him to send some accurate instructions.
This made him inexplicably think of the Deathly Hallows—the Resurrection Stone.
Headmaster Dumbledore once had such a description:
"The Resurrection Stone—to him it meant an army of Inferi..."
"He" of course refers to Grindelwald, and Inferi, since they were created, have not obeyed instructions.
That is to say, the Resurrection Stone can help Grindelwald command the dead.
This seems to have a high degree of similarity to the effect of the soul holy relic, but according to Headmaster Dumbledore, Jia Siting and Bai Yi are connected by love, while the soul holy relic only plays a role of communication—
It has always seemed to be such a role.
Including the boundary land, it also plays a role of connection.
The sky gradually darkened, the hearth was burning in the hut, the night made the relationship between people closer, and also made Jia Siting understand:
Love is the bridge that connects souls. ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
