The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

"I don't think you understand souls, Mr. Hart." Gellert Grindelwald said with a serious face: "I have a little understanding of the soul level, so I know how stupid it is to split the soul." things..."

"Can you talk about it in detail?" Jon frowned and asked quickly.

"Soul and magic do not exist at the same level..." Grindelwald said slowly: "Magic is part of the material world, and in most cases, it can only affect the material world; of course, some high-end magic It is possible to invade the spiritual world by affecting the brain, but this type of magic is extremely complicated and dangerous..."

"Like the Oblivion Curse and the Repentance Curse?" Jon asked softly.

"That's right... There are very few spells that can affect the spiritual world, and it is extremely difficult to use them. We predict that Magus has an innate and unparalleled talent in spells at the spiritual level. This is why I think the prophecy One of the reasons Magus is the voice of the will of the world..."

"Then what about the soul, which is also part of the spiritual world?"

"No, the soul is higher than the spiritual world, and it is also higher than the material world... So for the higher-level soul world, magic is actually powerless to it, magic can't affect it..."

Jon couldn't help interrupting him: "But, I heard that some spells can affect the soul, such as the Killing Curse, its principle is to destroy the soul..."

"Nonsense!" Grindelwald suddenly sat up from the bed: "Who told you?"

"Um..." Jon thought about it again and again, and replied, "The one named Tom Riddle..."

"Then he's an idiot!" Grindelwald rolled his eyes in disdain: "The essence of the Killing Curse is to deprive the opponent's vitality and force the opponent to die. It has nothing to do with the soul level!"

"The biggest evidence is that the killing curse cannot kill the phoenix. You must know that the phoenix has a soul, and the source of the power of the phoenix acts on the soul level. And when the killing curse hits the phoenix, the phoenix's body will be extremely short. They were completely destroyed within a short period of time...but the magical power of the phoenix will make them reborn from the ashes." Grindelwald frowned as he spoke, as if thinking of some bad memories.

"Okay, sorry...I see!" Jon nodded quickly.

"The Killing Curse does affect the soul, but it is indirectly... because the principle of the Killing Curse is the law of death, and with the death of a creature, unless he chooses to become a ghost, his soul will soon dissipate... "

"The reason why the Horcrux can avoid death is also because of this reason?" Jon asked in a low voice.

"That's right... Even if the body of a wizard with a horcrux is eliminated, attacked or destroyed, there is still a part of the soul that is not damaged in the world, so he can live in the world. As long as the horcrux is intact, the remaining soul fragments will not be harmed." However, after the physical body is destroyed, it is even worse than a ghost; at the same time, once the Horcrux is destroyed, the remaining soul fragments will immediately be wiped out."

Jon nodded thoughtfully.

...

"Magic cannot directly act on the soul, but it can indirectly act as a medium for the soul." Grindelwald paused, and then suddenly said:

"For example, the 'Loyalty Curse' that Dumbledore likes very much, its principle is to hide secrets in the soul; since magic can't act on the soul, this damned spell can't be cracked at all... I suffered from it at the beginning .”

"There is also the soul splitting method in the Horcrux production process... The essence is to kill a wizard, and then use a spell to arouse the short-term rage of his soul after the death of the other party, so as to tear your own soul... To be honest , that should be a very painful process.”

"Yes." Jon nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly thought of a great dark wizard who endured such pain for seven times. This spirit of hard work is really worth learning.

"Wait..." Jon's eyes lit up suddenly: "The reason why you said there is another way is to use this method...to use the soul to tear the soul?"

"Yeah, magic cannot harm the soul, but it can be used as a medium to affect the soul and harm the soul." Grindelwald said solemnly: "This should be the only way, but it is also the least possible way."

"Yeah!" Jon couldn't help but sigh.

"After a wizard is killed, his soul will become weak and decay at an extremely fast rate; compared with a blood curse soul that has been incubated for fifteen years, it is even more incomparable...so this dead wizard The soul of the blood curse cannot cause too much damage to the soul of the blood curse, even if it is absolutely successful, at most it can only delay the onset of the blood curse for a period of time." Grindelwald continued:

"That's why I say this is a very unlikely method...not to mention that you have killed the other party's wizard, but you have to rely on the other party's soul to help you deal with the blood curse soul, which is also unrealistic... If the wizard's soul dies, Instead of choosing to help you attack the blood-curse souls, but to tear the normal souls apart, that will further cause the blood-curse to break out faster, and it will have a counterproductive effect."

"Okay, thank you!" Jon nodded solemnly, then got up from the floor.

There was a bleak smile on his face: "At least it's not hopeless, right!"

"Yes!" Grindelwald also nodded, and gave Jon a sympathetic look.

...

The sky has completely darkened.

The thin moonlight shone into the lonely cell through the extremely narrow gap on the black stone wall.

"In the past fifty years, I may not have said as much as today." Gellert Grindelwald said with emotion.

"If you are willing, I will come to accompany you more in the future." Jon replied.

"Maybe I don't have this chance...Maybe when you come next time, you will come to prepare for my funeral!" The old wizard smiled sadly: "If I die, bury me in... bury me exist……"

"... bury me in Braunau, Austria, where I am from!"

"Okay, I know!"

"Where are you going now? Hogwarts?" the old wizard finally asked.

"No..." Jon shook his head: "I have to go to Albania."

"Albania..." Grindelwald lay on the stone bed again: "I wish you good luck... If I remember correctly, it is a cursed country."
