Chapter 813: Subtracting to Seek Emptiness
"Okay, Sean, I'll tell you something interesting."
Before leaving, Luo En said mysteriously.
At this time, the twins also came over.
"It's like this—Percy has a girlfriend."
Luo En said.
Fred dropped a stack of books on George's head.
"What?"
Fred asked.
"It's the Ravenclaw prefect, named Penelope Clearwater.
Jin Ni told me; last summer vacation, Percy wrote her so many letters.
Percy has been secretly dating her all over the school. One day, Jin Ni even caught them kissing in an empty classroom."
Luo En told everything he knew, and shrugged along the way,
"I hope you don't make fun of him."
"I wouldn't dream of it."
Fred said, but looking at his happy appearance, it was as if his birthday had arrived early.
"Absolutely not."
George replied, while secretly laughing.
Thus the summer vacation began.
Amidst a burst of laughter.
After the Hogwarts Express left, Hogwarts Castle became much quieter.
This also allowed Sean more space to practice the Fiendfyre curse.
Now, even if he ignited the entire dungeon together, he wouldn't hurt the Slytherins who were also in the underground space of Hogwarts.
Time in these moments became a vague unit.
Sean only knew his Fiendfyre curse had been practiced from 【Apprentice】 all the way to 【Entry Level】.
The proficiency progress of the Dark Arts was too fast, which always made Sean feel a little puzzled.
However, after the Fiendfyre curse reached Master level, he could obtain his second Master-level title.
Right in this summer vacation.
Thus Sean's life became sufficiently regular:
Wake up early, practice Occlumency and Legilimency under Professor Sineipu's gaze;
Noon, practice the one hundred methods of brewing Potions;
Afternoon, become a gas tank...
Occasionally, he would be invited by the suddenly appearing Dumbledore to have afternoon tea with a smile.
Soon, it was the afternoon of this day.
Owls flew in from the Great Hall, not many, only four or five of different sizes.
Having stayed at Hogwarts for a long time, Sean could recognize the owners of these owls.
The short and fat owl was Professor Flitwick's messenger; the barn owl was Professor Sprout's "Fluffball"—this was the name the professor gave it; the elegant, snow-white one was Professor Marcus Marcus Maige's pet, and as for the one at the very front, which also flew the fastest, it was Bai Yi.
It brought the latest newspaper; Sean gently spread the newspaper, but he wasn't looking at the newspaper.
His gaze fell on the panel on the side.
【Stupefy: Master Level (1800/?)
Petrificus Totalus: Master Level (1100/?)
Sectumsempra: Master Level (2300/?)
Reducto: Master Level (100/?)
Confringo: Master Level (100/?)
Depulso: Master Level (500/?)
Fiendfyre: Proficient Level (10/900)...
...】
【Advanced: Seven Master-level Dark Arts, can unlock the Master-level title in the Dark Arts field (6/7)】
The Fiendfyre curse had arrived at Proficient; Sean looked back and found that only half a month had passed.
Naturally, the advancement of magic became slower the deeper it went, but this progress was also too fast; taking advantage of the time dining in the Great Hall, Sean couldn't help but think about the key to it.
He didn't choose any cruel faith, why did the Dark Arts always embrace him?
He also associated it with a more important thing: how does a wizard actually become stronger?
In the Great Hall.
Only one poor young wizard remained at the four house tables, but at the high table, almost all the professors were present.
"Another year has ended, Minerva. The Scottish spring is too short, and the winter is long; the days are like a happy bird skimming past the window."
Dumbledore seemed to be sighing.
"The Hogwarts summer is not short."
Professor Marcus Marcus Maige replied, and cast her gaze on the newspaper; the moving magical photo was of a chubby Ministry of Magic employee.
Below the photo it was written: Ministry of Magic employee wins giant prize.
"Is that so? I know wizards always use clocks to record time, but do you know that there are wizards who use magic to record it?"
Dumbledore blinked and cast his gaze on the focused young wizard.
He was holding a wide piece of parchment, recording his magic learning progress, and organizing the thoughts in his mind.
"【Blindness】 period, wizards were good at mobilizing their emotional power; they didn't need to rely on spells, nor did they need wands; the magic at this time was manic and barbaric;
By the 【Order】 period, ancient wizards came out with ancient magic, almost defeating all the magical world overlords at that time.
Compared to today's magic, ancient magic inherited the ferocity of the previous era.
Although wizards who fully mastered ancient magic were very rare, they were sufficiently powerful.
The most outstanding among them was the wizard Merlin."
Sean pondered constantly, his quill shaking gently, constantly supplementing the omissions in the "Wizarding Magic Chronology."
"Wizards seek inward, establishing unshakable order in their hearts, and magic is the external manifestation of the wizard's internal order.
The so-called 【Wisdom】, however, is more like the external laws wizards find for magic...
After a certain period of study, wizards will eventually come into contact with silent casting, and once a wizard comes into contact with silent casting, he will find it difficult to use spells again."
Just like Sean himself, he hadn't chanted the spells for Wingardium Leviosa and Scourgify for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 814 =====
