A Thorn in the Heart

After some research, not only were conclusions reached, but new questions were also raised based on the conclusions and the details of the research process...

This is a very comfortable mode for Wizet.

This means he can continue his research, and that he can continue to make connections and find new directions for progress.

Wizet had a vague feeling that further research into the Boggart, and understanding why the Boggart had no memories, would help him to understand the soul more deeply.

Just as he was putting the notebook into his pocket, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door.

Knock knock knock!

"Hmm..." It was Lupin's voice from outside the door. "Mr. Lovegood, is that you in there?"

"Finite Incantatem!" Wizet waved her wand dramatically, halting the Protective Magic set up in the abandoned classroom.

He turned the doorknob, gave a slight bow to Lupin outside the door, and said, "Professor Lupin, good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon!" Lupin smiled. "I'm here to check on Boggart's situation; I do this about once a week."

"So that when I need its help, it's not here anymore... It takes quite a while to find another Boggart."

"It's still in the locker," Wizet said. "I think it will stay there for the foreseeable future. I've been following the instructions in the book to try and prolong its stay."

Among the books Lupin recommended to him was a book called "Forty Little Facts About Boggarts," which contained relevant information.

This is a work by Lupin's father Lyall Lupin, which mentions that the Boggart's stay is not fixed and can disappear due to various factors;

If not checked regularly, Boggart might disappear from their lodgings; Lyall Lupin called this behavior "moving."

Wizet closed the door, and the two walked and talked in the hallway.

"Extending its stay would be ideal!" Lupin nodded.

"Boggart, as ' Non-Being ', are relatively obscure Magical creature. Most wizards can probably only summarize some related patterns at most."

"After all, how should I put it... these ' Non-Being ' things are too special, and for most wizards, studying them is not very practical."

He pursed his lips and added, "Mr. Lovegood, I'm actually a little curious, what are you researching? Do you feel stressed?"

Actually, there was another reason, Lupin didn't say aloud;

To study Boggart means to confront one's own fears, and even experts in related fields are usually unwilling to expose their fears for a long time.

Wizet possessed magic such as Occlumency, which is why Lupin was willing to provide information and assistance.

For the sake of safety, Lupin would persuade ordinary students to stay calm and avoid any unpredictable accidents caused by prolonged exposure to fear.

Nevertheless, he was still somewhat uneasy. He felt that since he knew about this matter, he should share some of the responsibility, which is why he brought up this topic again at this time.

"Professor Lupin, thank you for your concern!" Wizet smiled. "Studying magic itself is a joyful thing for me."

"Besides, Boggart can't really see my fear, at least so far... I feel perfectly fine."

"My research on Boggart has now progressed towards the realm of the soul. Professor Lupin, if I may ask, do you have any knowledge in this area?"

He understood why Lupin had asked him if he was feeling repressed, which is why he offered more explanations to try and alleviate Lupin's concerns in this regard.

After her previous trip to North America, and the recent lessons she has been teaching, Wizet's impression of Lupin is actually quite good.

From any perspective, Lupin is an excellent professor, not only possessing solid magical knowledge but also being very friendly to his students.

That's why Wizet subtly asked another question to confirm whether Lupin had any knowledge of the soul;

Wizards are always extremely cautious when it comes to the study of the soul, even if they reveal some related ideas in their writings.

However, it would not present it in its entirety or discuss it in detail, in order to avoid affecting some readers, which is an extremely bad thing.

If Lupin doesn't have a clear understanding of his own soul, Wizet doesn't intend to reveal too much, lest Lupin be affected and unable to continue on his Path of Magic.

"Research on the soul?" Lupin's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly calmed down.

Wizet mastered the Animagus, and was even able to present his own views at the Animagus International Symposium, thus advancing the related research by a significant step forward.

At the same time, his work also reveals a profound Magical Understanding, which often gives Lupin a fresh perspective.

Based on these two points, Lupin could also foresee that, given Wizet's talent, it would be unusual if he had not yet come to understand the soul.

However, the fact that he was able to study the soul from Boggart was quite unexpected.

Just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice came from the other end of the corridor, "Remus, so you're here. I was just about to come looking for you!"

Dumbledore walked towards Wizet and Lupin, and when he saw Wizet, a smile appeared on his face. "Wizet, what are you two talking about? May I join you?"

"Good afternoon, Headmaster Dumbledore!" Wizet greeted him, getting straight to the point. "I was just talking to Professor Lupin about the Boggart, and I found some interesting things."

"Boggart ..." Dumbledore nodded. "Compared to Dementor, these ' Non-Being ' are at least much friendlier. What have you discovered?"

"It's like this..." Wizet took out her notebook, "I conducted a series of studies on Boggart ..."

As Lupin listened to Wizet's story, he felt that he was gradually falling behind Wizet's train of thought;

Some of the things about the soul would make Dumbledore smile and nod in agreement, but he found them somewhat difficult to understand.

Fortunately, Wizet would provide some supporting evidence by incorporating the contents of certain books, so Lupin only needed to memorize the titles and then combine them with his understanding later.

At the same time, Lupin also felt a bit emotional, realizing that he had wasted far too much time after Voldemort's downfall.

Of course, there were reasons that he had no choice but to do so, after all, as a Werewolf Wizard, wandering around was almost his destiny.

Actually, it's because he can't get over his own hurdle. The different experiences of his close friends have dealt him a huge blow, so he has no heart to continue improving his magic like he did during his school years.

Watching Wizet and Dumbledore chatting happily, Lupin couldn't help but let out a long sigh;

Although he now wants to calm down and improve his magic again, Sirius Black, who is still on the run, remains a thorn in his side...
