"Andy, recently you've been acting strange," Isabel said, lying on the sofa in a sprawled-out manner, nibbling on a lollipop, and sizing Andy up with a suspicious look.
Sothing's wrong! Sooooo wrong!
"Oh? Like what?" Andy asked, sitting on the sofa, looking at his notebook and barely glancing up as he gave a perfunctory response.
"Like just now, for example!"
Isabel gave an exaggerated example: "You actually opened the window! rlin! You used to be so quick to do all sorts of things with a wave of your wand."
"And this morning... you dressed yourself."
Andy: "…"
"You were peeping on in the morning?"
Andy said sternly, "Young lady, behave yourself!"
"I wasn't peeping; I was looking openly!"
Isabel huffed, "Tell , what's going on? Are you injured and unable to use magic?"
When she said this, the little girl beca a bit giddy.
Over the years, Andy had bullied her many tis using magic.
But she didn't even have a wand, so she couldn't beat Andy at all.
If Andy couldn't use magic...
Her fists itched to fight!
Andy gave her a sidelong glance as if he could read her mind and said indifferently, "Even if I don't use magic, you still can't beat ."
Isabel: "..."
This is a bit sad to admit.
She was born a few years too late and is too small!
"So... Andy, are you really hurt?" Isabel leaned over and asked in a hushed voice.
"Did you get hurt fighting the Dark Lord?"
Since she couldn't defeat Andy in a fight in the short term, she might as well show so concern for him.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."
Andy replied, and then, after a mont's thought, he added, "I'm trying to learn a powerful spell."
"Pfft!"
Isabel didn't believe him.
She looked at Andy and whispered, "If you're not feeling well, go back to your room and lie down. You don't have to force yourself to be here."
Andy: "…"
Andy decided to change the subject, "It's fine; I'll just chat with you for a while, so you won't be bored alone."
It's been thirteen days since the holiday started.
During this ti, Andy's experint has made rapid progress.
Judging from the current progress, in ten days at most, Andy will be able to complete the fusion of his mind and magic, ushering the magic in his body into a new stage of transformation.
That might be a new beginning!
Through this period of study, Andy has fully understood how the Obscurus was born.
Magic is sothing that exists between the virtual and the material.
When it becos active, it is more easily guided by the power of the mind—this is called Accidental magic.
But if we then use the power of the mind to suppress the magic... the forces of traction and suppression will cause the magic and the mind to fuse.
Of course, these are only surface factors.
In fact, Andy suspects that the fusion of the mind and magic is closely related to another force.
Love!
Yes! It's the power of love!
For this reason, Andy also contacted Grindelwald specifically to ask him about the life of Credence.
Credence Barebone, son of Aberforth Dumbledore and a Muggle, whose real na is Aurelius Dumbledore, lived to be over twenty years old.
Credence was abused by his adoptive mother, which led to the birth of the powerful force known as the Obscurus within him.
According to the birth theory of the Obscurus, Credence should have rejected his magical powers.
However, he still yearned for the magical world.
He also longed for a family and to find out about his origins.
He longed to be loved and to love.
Because he 'knows' love and doesn't want to lose it, he suppresses his power when his adoptive mother abuses him, no matter how irate he feels inside.
Because he values it, he responds to it.
Losing and lack of love...it is the source of pain!
In other words, even the birth of Obscurus has a lot to do with love.
This is not the only example.
The birth of the Peeves also actually has a love factor in it—the young wizard loves Hogwarts.
The sa goes for the Patronus Charm!
Not to ntion Andy's fat cat Patronus. Even a normal Patronus Charm requires rembering happy things to use it.
The protective magic Lily cast on Harry is also the power of love—it was Lily's love for her son that allowed the power of protection to be integrated into Harry's blood.
Love is the main the of the Harry Potter series.
The Departnt of Mysteries also treats 'love' as a separate research topic. They even sealed up the power of love, which shows that they are a little wary of it.
Dumbledore once described love as a more miraculous and terrifying force than death, than human intelligence, and even than nature's power.
Andy had previously acknowledged this but had not given it much thought.
After all, the concept of 'love' is too abstract.
However, this fusion allowed Andy to experience the power of love for the first ti.
It was the power of love that allowed Magic and the Mind to complete their fusion.
After getting this idea, Andy no longer went back to his room alone to read but spent more ti with Isabel.
As for the results...there were almost none!
But Andy didn't care.
After all, the main reason 'Andy cannot stand against Voldemort' is to ensure the safety of his family.
It doesn't matter whether Andy believes it or not.
All that matters is that he believes in magic!
After several rounds of defiance and suppression, Andy's magic and his mind have already begun to fuse.
It is currently in the formative stage!
It doesn't take long for an Obscurus to be born; after all, Obscurial usually won't live past the age of ten.
According to Grindelwald, Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Dumbledore, beca an Obscurial after being bullied by Muggle children just once.
You have to admit, there is so natural talent flowing through that family!
As for Andy...
Apart from the necessary daily dose of the 'magic routine', Andy now spends his ti either reading or chatting and playing with Isabel.
"Chatting with ?"
Isabel looked incredulous. She pointed at the pile of notebooks on the coffee table and scoffed, "Is that what you call chatting with ? You've already finished three of them this morning."
"I'm the one keeping you company while you read!"
Andy laughed lightly. "Don't you want to keep company? The Weasley family has moved into the safe house, and the Lovegoods are acting very strangely."
"Besides, you can't go out right now."
"If you don't keep company, what else are you going to do?"
To be honest, the little lass is a bit pitiful.
It is actually quite difficult for wizarding children to find friends their own age before they start school. No wonder, young wizards love Hogwarts, and adult wizards also miss their lives at Hogwarts.
Thinking about this, Andy felt a little bad.
"How about I play with you for a while?"
Andy put down his notebook and asked curiously, "Isa, what do you usually do for fun?"
