Once You Lit the Fire, You Still Had to Control and Guide It

"I'll show you..." Wizet pulled his wand from his pocket and raised it slightly, the tip still pointing to the ground, as if he were holding a sword.

A cluster of silver-blue sparks emerged from the tip of the wand, and an indescribable stillness filled the air, like the oppressive calm before a storm.

"Fire Shield..."

Wizet's chanting was melodious and unhurried, but the flames spewing from the tip of his wand were extremely fierce, bursting forth like wildfire and quickly spreading around him.

He slowly turned his body, and the flames that spread out were a bright blue, quickly forming a wall of fire that protected him.

The moisture in the air was instantly dissipated, and dryness and high temperature filled the entire room.

The next second, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Only the lingering heat in the room told the story of what had just transpired.

The magic that Gellert Grindelwald left behind in the "Otherworld" can only be truly understood in its complexity after one has actually learned it.

If we trace its origins, the Fire Shield Charm can be considered an extension of the Shield Charm, but it incorporates a large number of magical techniques, such as Fire Magic, Transfiguration, and Legilimency...

They even extended Fire Magic, giving the Fire Shield the effect of Dark Magic, allowing it to grow stronger and more powerful by devouring surrounding creatures, just like the Fiendfyre Curse.

If Wizet hadn't mastered Fire Magic and had some experience with Compound Magic, it would have been difficult for her to learn the Fire Shield Charm from that glimpse in the "Otherworld."

Even though Wizet learned the magic, she still went through a lot of twists and turns and practice before she could cast and control it.

This made him realize more deeply that only by constantly learning magical knowledge and studying its principles could he help himself grow faster.

At least in this world with extraordinary powers, magical knowledge can indeed be transformed into power.

As the flames quickly subsided, Professor McGonagall let out a long breath. She adjusted her glasses and looked at Wizet's feet; there were no burn marks around them.

"Amazing! I almost had to use ' Finite Incantatem '... At least when the fire is just starting, it won't be so difficult to contain it."

"Yes!" Dumbledore smiled in agreement. "Wizet, you've mastered this magic now?"

"Is it a basic grasp?" Wizet glanced around the office and gestured briefly. "It's about this big; I can manage it."

"Very good! Lighting a fire may be relatively simple, but controlling or guiding it... is not an easy task!" Dumbledore said with a smile.

"However, I still have to remind you... if you cast Fire Shield spell in the forest, it's best to be conservative... to avoid any accidents."

Looking at that smiling face, Wizet felt that Dumbledore was implying something.

Before Wizet could press further, Dumbledore steered the conversation back to the Animagus paper.

"Minerva, I think there's nothing left to revise in Wizet's paper, don't you think?"

"Of course!" Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement. "The problems with the previous draft have all been corrected. We can even find an owl right now and have it send the paper to Transfiguration Today."

"I don't think we need to rush..." Dumbledore waved his hand. "We could consider postponing it for a month... Maybe then someone will... give us free publicity?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall ...should I expand on the content?" Wizet asked. "Should I add the content about Animagus Second Form to the paper as well?"

He looked at the contents of his notebook and briefly went through the process in his mind. "If it's postponed by a month, I think the timeframe should be... barely enough to make it."

"The content is substantial enough!" Professor McGonagall looked somewhat helpless. "You must have been quite tired these past few days working on this paper..."

"Let's relax! I don't want Poppy and Filius to come here in a few days to confront me."

Hearing Professor McGonagall's joke, Wizet smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not so bad..."

"I also think it needs further discussion..." Dumbledore murmured. "The content regarding the Second Form should be able to play a greater role... and perhaps bring some unexpected gains."

He stood up, stroking his beard as he paced back and forth. "Wizet, are you interested in the Animagus International Symposium?"

"The Animagus International Symposium?" Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment. "The timing seems perfect... this summer."

"Will African Wizards be involved too?" Wizet asked curiously.

"Of course they will attend! They really enjoy the seminar." Dumbledore nodded. "African Wizards are usually the main focus of the seminars."

"I'm sure I'll learn a lot!" Wizet, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"Of course, it's time to conserve our energy," Dumbledore said with a smile. "As for the Animagus International Symposium, I'll handle that!"

"I might have some free time next, which will be perfect for dealing with these things... Isn't this a rare opportunity?"

Before leaving Professor McGonagall's office, he also obtained various materials about "the Otherworld" from Dumbledore, intending to read them as leisure reading to broaden his knowledge.

On the way back to the Ravenclaw Common Room, a House-elf suddenly appeared, holding a parchment envelope in one hand.

The House-elf darted to Wizet and bowed deeply. "This is a letter my master asked me to deliver to you!"

"A letter for me?" Wizet took the letter; the sender was Lucius Malfoy.

[From the loyal Lucius Malfoy!]

[My lord, someone is impersonating you and trying to recruit me into the effort to Impeach Albus Dumbledore. What should I do? I await your instructions!]

Upon reading the letter and combining it with Dumbledore's words, Wizet understood— Tom Riddle's next move was about to begin!

The fact that Lucius Malfoy is only sending a letter now shows that Tom Riddle's group doesn't consider Lucius Malfoy one of their own.

The reason for joining forces with Lucius Malfoy is probably because of Lucius Malfoy's position School Governor.

He was willing to trust me... that was the fire I ignited... naturally, it was up to me to guide it.

Wizet looked at the trembling House-elf and had an idea.

"Tell him a message:... Are you going to associate with a bunch of people who are destined to fail?"

The more white space you leave, the better the effect usually is.

"Understood! Understood!" The House-elf nodded repeatedly, and before he finished speaking, he had vanished from Wizet's sight...
