For Charles, the secret room he encountered not long ago made him feel very magical, and he was particularly fond of it when recounting that experience.
After listening, Jack carefully asked Charles some questions about the secret room, including the three magic spells and other people's views on the secret room.
"Five hundred years ago?" Jack frowned when he heard Charles mention Professor Flitwick's guess, with a very serious expression on his face.
Charles didn't dare to disturb him and was very careful when picking up food.
"Forget it, never mind." Jack finally shook his head, "They don't want to say anything, so let's just bury it in the dust of history."
Charles asked curiously: "Grandpa, who are 'they' and what do they not want to say?"
Jack said while scalding the beef: "From some records, we can learn that 500 years ago, a very powerful wizard suddenly appeared and then disappeared. According to the records, the wizard's knowledge was very high, and his spells were ahead of those of the time.
Wizards have been practicing for many years, but there is no inheritance left. Later, wizards reinvented the wheel."
"The Fat Monk and Nico Flamel have both experienced that era and should have seen this wizard, but they are unwilling to say anything."
"How do you say that? There are talents in every generation."
Charles curled his lips and said, "But you always like to hide."
Jack shrugged: "Magic is amazing. If the huge energy cannot be used properly, it will bring disaster."
Charles suddenly stopped grabbing vegetables, looked at the old man seriously, and asked: "Could it be that you also possess some kind of powerful magical power, and that its identity or important clues are in a secret passage in Hogwarts?"
, is that what the two-hole socket is looking for?"
Jack didn't answer, he just drank and ate food.
Upon seeing this, Charles stopped asking questions and continued eating and drinking.
"Give me the wand." Jack stretched out his hand.
Charles handed the old man’s 406㎜ wand over.
The advantage of having a long wand became apparent at this time. Jack reached across the table with the wand and tapped Charles's cap easily.
Charles trembled, wondering where the old man learned this magic spell to check the body.
"There is something that must be made clear." Jack suddenly became serious after sitting down, "What you did to Filch this time was purely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. First of all, the theory is completely wrong."
"Your theory is not too wrong for the Obscurial, but Filch is a squib, and the two are not the same thing at all."
"But Filch can eventually have magic power. I suspect that the lightning and the third magic in the secret room are the real treasures left by the owner of the secret room. The purpose is to replenish magic power for people."
Charles listened quietly, and after the old man finished speaking, he said: "This kind of lightning has a very peculiar characteristic. It can stay in the wizard's body and will gradually dissipate over time, but using the third magic from time to time will make it
Increase."
"But it doesn't work with cats. I tried it with Filch's cat."
He was later curious about whether this method could allow Muggles to produce magic power, but there were no Muggles in Hogwarts, so he tried it with Mrs. Norris after double confirmation. She did not turn into a cat girl, but the lightning magic power suddenly disappeared.
It disappeared without a trace.
"I think..." Charles said very solemnly, "If Muggles..."
Jack immediately interrupted him: "Don't mess around. Don't try this kind of world-changing thing easily."
"If you want to try, you must keep it secret and find the most trustworthy person. Otherwise, if you succeed, it will cause a big mess, and you may have to change your surname to Xavier."
Charles nodded. He didn't dare to mess with this kind of thing. He might change his painting style and turn it into a spiritual energy revival flow.
He then asked: "Doesn't Filch need to stop?"
Jack replied nonchalantly: "It's up to you, if it's just a problem within the wizard."
"I have a guess. The parchment in the secret room may have more than three magic spells. The stronger you are in this area, the more magic spells will appear on it."
Charles nodded thoughtfully.
After finishing talking about school and almost finishing the food on the table, Charles asked the waiter to bring a piece of noodles and cook them with the bottom of the pot and the remaining meat.
He didn't eat much today, so he ate some snacks on the train.
When Jack was full, he asked for a pot of tea and drank it slowly.
He suddenly remembered something and asked Charles: "I remember that Hogwarts is going to hold a potions competition with other schools next year. Where is it held?"
Charles replied while eating: "Next year it will be my turn to go to Wagadu in Moon Mountain, Uganda."
Jack raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "The ruby should still be over there."
Charles asked curiously: "What kind of treasure is it?"
"Pet." Jack said while drinking tea, "The phoenix I used to raise was lent to Brother Xu's grandson after he lost a bet."
"The core used in our wands now is its feathers."
Compared to the fact that the old man had a phoenix, Charles was more curious about the fact that he lost the bet.
"No way?" Charles asked in surprise, "You will lose the bet?"
Jack said depressingly: "When I was traveling in the Congo, I met Xiao Xu. He was a doctor on the medical team that went there to assist. At that time, they wanted some Phoenix tears to treat people, so I made a bet with him.
Said that if he can make Ruby cry, I will lend him Ruby until Ruby leaves voluntarily."
"The boy took Ruby to the kitchen, and he was chopping onions next to him!"
"This guy Ruby also rebelled and stayed there for the delicious food!"
Charles was stunned when he heard that this was possible.
Jack said to him angrily: "This time you are going to Wagadu and bring the ruby back."
Charles said in embarrassment: "But all the students who can go are senior students. I am only a first-year student, so I can't go."
Jack picked up the tea cup and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I have a way."
Charles had a question mark and couldn't think of anything the old man could do.
After the grandfather and grandson had eaten and drank enough, Jack packed up another takeaway before settling the bill and leaving.
On the way home, Charles remembered something and asked: "Grandpa, have you done any research on the sequelae of victims of the Cruciatus Curse?"
Jack replied: "I'm not familiar with this. The soul is too delicate. A slight mistake will cause the patient to die during treatment."
"What, who has been hit by the Cruciatus Curse?"
Charles told the story about Neville's parents.
Jack thought for a while and said: "I can't help it. You can find an opportunity to ask professors from other magic schools during the potion competition. They may have a way."
Charles took note of it after hearing it.
When he got home, Jack carried the takeaway upstairs.
Along the way, Charles was curious about why the old man wanted to buy an extra takeaway, and wondered whether he was hiding his beauty.
Sure enough, Jack walked into the study carrying takeout and said: "Albus, it's time for dinner!"
Then Charles heard the principal's voice: "Wait until I finish this round."
Jack said: "Believe it or not, I will pull out the plug if I don't want to eat. If you have the ability, you can find the magic that makes the computer work without electricity!"
Charles' lips twitched when he heard this. What kind of conversation was this between parents and Internet-addicted children? He also understood why the old man knew about his affairs in school. It turned out that the principal had betrayed him.
Now he started to get nervous. Who is not afraid that the teacher will complain to the parents?
However, there was a commotion at home the next day because of Dumbledore. At this time, someone rang the doorbell. Charles could only stop eating melons and watching the theater to open the door. The visitor knew who it was by looking at his clothes.
