In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

  Chapter 26 26. Teacher

   "So, the method of casting spells that is different from the conventional means that magic does not affect the outside world, but itself?"

  Jon looked at the ring, the diamond-shaped blue gemstone inlaid in the middle, shining brightly under the sunlight.

  Slughorn was also looking at the ring on Jon's hand, his eyes revealing nostalgia.

"I have lived for a long time, but most of my energy in this life has been devoted to potions and communication, and the research on the nature of magic has not been involved. This ring and what I just said are the legacy of a friend of mine , Adrian Fox, who spent his life searching for ways for wizards to change themselves, and the end result was this ring."

  Jon carefully recalled for a while, and made sure that he did not find a wizard related to this name in the memory of the original book. The only person who had a little impression of the surname Fox was that Dumbledore's phoenix seemed to be called this.

  However, the magic world is so big, of course there must be more capable wizards than those who appeared in the original book. It is not surprising that Jon has never heard of this name.

   Even though Slughorn had explained enough to him, Jon still had a lot of doubts about the ring itself.

   "But according to what you said, professor, why did it keep up with me? The Mr. Fox you mentioned created it. Even if he can't use it after he passed away, you can still use it?"

   "Not as easy as you think, Jon."

   Slughorn looked up at the sky, with a trace of remorse showing on his face for some unknown reason.

"There has never been a shortage of smart people since ancient times. Of course, my old friend is not the only one who can think of doing magic research in this direction. Almost no one has succeeded. The only magic that seems to have succeeded, but in fact It is extremely evil, even more unforgivable than the Unforgivable Curse. The ring in your hand is almost the most perfect result in history, but not everyone can use it."

"Wizard's magic wants to change the outside world, and it needs will to grasp it. The stronger the will, the bigger and more thorough the change will be. And to use magic to produce essential changes to the wizard itself, the will required is even greater. It is so powerful that it is immeasurable. This ring is just a medium for casting spells similar to a magic wand, and it really relies on the wizard's own magic power and will. Of course the medium is important, but as I have always said, if there is no magic power and will Similarly, the magic is not even possible to complete."

"Ever since I got this ring from Adrian, I have been thinking about helping him find someone who is qualified to use his work, but it has been almost twenty years, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in the magic world. Change, I have seen thousands of wizards with this ring, but no one is qualified to be its owner."

  He turned to look at Jon.

"I was already planning to give up, Jon, I have more important things to do, your appearance really caught me by surprise. After you left yesterday, I learned something about you from Lily You are very smart, and you have an excellent talent in magic, which I have been verified today. You have only been exposed to magic for less than two weeks, and you can know so much knowledge, which is enough to prove your Work hard, and the most important thing is that you are a person who values ​​feelings. Generally, such a person will not become so bad even if he becomes a bad guy in the end. I would rather this masterpiece that is enough to be recorded in the history of magic completely rot in my hands , I don’t want to make another mistake again, after confirming these, I made up my mind to give you a chance to choose. Are you willing to learn from me this method of casting spells that can change yourself?”

  Slughorn has a lot of information in this statement.

Jon could hear what the magic he was talking about was even more unforgivable than the Unforgivable Curse, which essentially changed the wizard himself. Throughout the entire original book, only the Horcrux that Voldemort used for his own immortality was effective. Such potency.

  The existence of the Horcrux happened to be revealed to Voldemort by the old man in front of him. This incident made him regret it all the time, so there was the "make another mistake" in the sentence just now.

  To be honest, with Jon's current reserves of magic knowledge and level of spells, he still can't understand the effect of applying the changes produced by magic to the wizard himself for the time being.

   But what he can understand is that such an opportunity is rare, very rare, and now he already has a strong sense of crisis in his heart because of his lack of strength.

  He can probably guess that the reason why he has such a condition is probably due to time travel, otherwise he can't explain why others can't do it, but he can be special.

  For Jon, who was determined to strengthen his own strength, Slughorn's words today were as timely as sending charcoal in a timely manner, so he had no reason to refuse at all.

  Jon met Slughorn's eyes. His eyes were serious and his tone was firm.

   "I want to learn, Professor."

   Slughorn laughed after hearing his answer. No matter how many times he looked at his chubby face, it would make people feel like they were watching a walrus laughing.

   "Compared to professor, I actually prefer the title teacher."

   "Teacher, how should we study next?" After confirming that the teacher-student relationship is closer than that of teachers and students in the school, Jon couldn't wait to ask.

  Only at this time, Slughorn can see something on Jon's face that fits an 11-year-old child's expression.

   "Don't worry, let's not say that you haven't learned a single spell yet. Before I can actually teach you, I still need to teach you something to prepare you for learning."

  Jon's face showed doubts.

   "What do I need to learn first?"

   he said softly.

   "Occlumency."

   After he and Slughorn agreed to go to his office to start studying after dinner every day, Jon left from the roof of the car.

   And just as he returned to the carriage, he saw Filch recruiting students on the corridor with a gloomy face.

  At this time, he just ran into Neville and the others who came out of the common room, and couldn't help asking curiously.

   "What happened? Why is Filch so angry."

  Naville and the four of them also shook their heads blankly, and they didn't understand what had happened until they inquired from the surrounding senior students for a while.

   It turned out that Filch had discovered that someone had broken into a room without a sign without the permission of any professor.

   This kind of subject matter is not easy to write, so please try not to raise books during the new book period, read them every day, and then vote more and make speeches. I can guarantee that the stories behind are at least not bad, and we are also making progress with each book.
