'Which direction should I focus on next?' Andy mused to himself.
The study of the mind and magic is a topic Andy had focused on even before he went to school.
So far, this study has been a great success!
As for magic transfiguration, Andy began studying it after he discovered the secret of Voldemort.
Thanks to the Slytherin manuscripts and notes, as well as Andy's own efforts (system points), magic transfiguration is now considered a great success.
At present, Andy only needs to increase his [Constitution] so more to enhance the power of magic transfiguration.
So...what should he focus on next?
In the world of Harry Potter, magic attack power is only related to spell proficiency and ntal strength.
But things are a little different now.
For example!
Magic is a form of energy, which we can compare to gunpowder.
Then spell proficiency is the gun that uses the gunpowder.
Muskets, revolvers, submachine guns, bazookas. Different guns have different powers.
Similarly, different spell proficiencies can exert varying levels of magical attack power.
As for ntal strength... we can compare it to the variety of bullets or casting enchantnts on bullets.
This is the strength and weakness of modern magic.
Ancient magic was so powerful because it did not limit the output of magical energy—ancient wizards could even use a single spell to release all their magical energy.
Of course, this was very dangerous.
The least that could happen was serious injury, and the worst could be death.
Modern magic, on the other hand, cos with a set of rules that limit the output of magical energy, which effectively reduces the danger of spellcasting.
But that doesn't an modern magic is inferior to ancient magic.
In fact, modern magic is far more diverse than ancient magic.
In terms of lethality alone, even the most powerful ancient magic spells are no match for spells like the Killing Curse and the Fiendfyre Curse.
Not to ntion other aspects.
The reason Andy stands out is because Andy has completed the fusion of mind and magic.
It's like... replacing gunpowder with dynamite.
Andy's magical attack power is stronger than ever because Andy's nature of magic has changed for the better.
There is one area that Andy feels might be worth further study!
Love!
Love is the the of the Harry Potter world and a power that the Departnt of Mysteries has locked away. Love is also the origin of all emotions and the purest power of the mind.
Love may have sothing special about it, and it may also be related to the origin of magic.
Thinking along these lines, Andy frowned slightly and suddenly looked up at Dumbledore.
Had Dumbledore really given up on finding the truth?
When he was young, he had searched for the Deathly Hallows with Grindelwald. Later, the two parted ways, and Grindelwald used the Deathly Hallows symbol as his own mark.
Grindelwald never gave up!
And Dumbledore...he has only ever studied love.
Love and death were originally unrelated, but now... Andy suddenly realised that so of the rooms in the Departnt of Mysteries had been built later, while others had been there from the beginning.
The Brain Room, the Hall of Prophecy, the Planet Room...these rooms were all built later.
But the Chamber of Death and the Locked Room were probably there from the beginning—according to so of Andy's previous speculations, these two rooms might be related.
As for the Ti Room...well, it's hard to judge at the mont!
Andy still rembered what Dumbledore had said: for soone with a clear mind, death is just another great adventure!
Before, Andy thought that the second half of the sentence was the key point. But now, after pondering the sentence, Andy suddenly realised that perhaps the first part is the real key point.
Andy didn't know whether death was really another great adventure, but what Andy did know is, without a 'very clear' mind, one definitely could not take part in this adventure.
It is now known that the dinsion of death is behind the curtain.
So what does a 'clear mind' an?
An understanding of the death dinsion?
Or a firm grasp on one's thoughts, emotions, and self?
Andy doesn't know for the ti being.
But... Andy can't help but feel that Dumbledore is hiding sothing. His usually kind face has suddenly beco sowhat sinister.
Geez!
"Professor, thank you very much for your explanation..."
Andy slowly got up and politely said, "I won't disturb you then."
"Collins..."
Dumbledore looked at Andy and said slowly, "I've run into a bit of difficulty and need your help."
Andy: "..."
Sigh!
Andy silently sighed in his heart.
The old man had just helped him, so he couldn't refuse now!
Dumbledore held out his arm, gesturing for Andy to take it. "We'll talk when we get there."
Okay!
Andy raised an eyebrow and placed his hand on Dumbledore's arm.
The next second, the two instantly disappeared.
In an alley near Grimmauld Place, Andy and Dumbledore appeared out of thin air.
"Where is this..."
Andy turned his head to look around, and only after stepping out of the alley did he realise where they were.
This is Grimmauld Place!
The Black family's ancestral manor is here.
But Andy couldn't rember the exact address.
Dumbledore handed Andy a folded piece of paper. Andy opened it and saw the words '12 Grimmauld Place' written on it.
"Your headquarters?" Andy asked.
"Yes!" Dumbledore replied, walked to the door, and knocked.
In a mont, the door was opened.
"This is a surprise!"
The person who opened the door was Sirius, who looked at Andy and Dumbledore and said with an exaggerated expression, "You finally showed up; I thought sothing had happened to you."
Dumbledore nodded slightly apologetically, "Sorry, Sirius... I got held up by so things."
What a perfunctory excuse!
Sirius turned to Andy, wondering what excuse he would co up with.
You're just a kid; you can't be so busy that you don't have ti to et up.
rlin knows how anxious Sirius had been during this period.
With the World Cup finals just around the corner, they had discussed various options for a long ti but still couldn't co up with a plan that would allow them to do both.
anwhile, Dumbledore had disappeared, and they hadn't seen him for days.
Andy shrugged and said, "I'm not in the sa group as you guys. I've never joined any weird organisations. By the way, I heard that there's no pay in your organisation. Is that true?"
Sirius: "..."
Dumbledore: I've been called out.
