For several days, Dumbledore wanted to see a little wizard in front of Mirror of Erised.
But unfortunately, as he said, the past is just a ghost without weight.
That night, Dumbledore stood beside the mirror. In front of the mirror was Harry who was reluctant to leave:
"The mirror will be moved to a new place tomorrow, Harry, please don't look for it again. If you happen to see it again one day, you must be mentally prepared. It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life. Remember it. Well, why not put on that wonderful Invisibility Cloak and go back to sleep?"
Harry stood up.
"Sir - Professor Dumbledore? Can I ask you a question?"
"It goes without saying that you just did that."
Dumbledore smiled,
"But you can ask me one more question."
"When you look in the mirror, what do you see?"
"Me? I saw myself holding a pair of thick wool socks."
Harry opened his eyes wide.
"You can never have enough socks,"
Dumbledore said,
"Christmas came and went, and I received a few pairs of socks - thank you so much. But people are always willing to give me books."
Harry felt something was wrong, but didn't ask and went back to bed.
At this time, the Christmas holiday has passed for five full days.
Sean found Professor Terra, and the professor was very interested in his Transfiguration topic.
They did many solutions and experiments together, but the final result was unsatisfactory. However, Professor Terra could not see the slightest disappointment. Instead, he accompanied Sean with great interest and failed many times.
"You have made a lot of efforts in the deep field, just like those former Alchemy masters. Now you know that there is no way out for them, so I ask you to look at it from another perspective."
After Professor Terra said meaningfully, the ground in the alchemy office undulated like waves, and Sean was quickly sent out of the office.
The wavy ground is much like a conveyor belt without steps.
So, another look, what would that be?
Sean is a little confused, but he is not in a hurry.
Ancient Runes and material problems were not difficult for Professor Terra, and her profound knowledge reserve could solve them in a short time.
But if the materials and Rune Array are so easy in the eyes of the master, then the difficulties behind them must be stubborn.
It is these stubborn difficulties that prevent wizards from exploring Fantastic Beasts Transfiguration more deeply.
And if we can't solve this magic conflict problem, we can't make Fantastic Beast biscuits.
Back to Hope Cottage.
The cold wind that had been pulling his scarf back finally stopped. Sean's scarf had some water stains, and the few small snowflakes on his face gradually melted into water droplets.
Suddenly a big head popped out of the fire.
It's Justin, he is greeting Sean happily.
"Did you receive my letter? Sean, you promised to reply to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sean heard him exclaim, as if the letter had arrived.
Handwritten letters have a unique feeling. When you open the package and rub the Parchment out between your fingers, you feel like you are traveling through time and space.
Several gold-edged books came out of the bookcase on the left. Sean replaced the scarf that had just been soaked with some snowflakes with a newly arrived scarf, and then went to think about the five books left by the professor.
Especially the book "Deep Analysis of Alchemical Rituals", which he had just read once.
So the letter was placed on the corner of the table, and some writing came out:
[To Sean:
Christmas The dinner party is very lively, and my mother wants you to know-Finley There is a place at the dinner party for Green.
She said:
There are all kinds of people in this world,
It just so happened that we became friends,
This is not fate,
It's because we are supposed to be friends.
It's very cold in winter, so please keep it warm.
——Your loyal: Justin]
Magic Lantern lights up, and the hut enters night.
Sean vaguely perceived one thing, that is, Fantastic Beast biscuits seemed to be in trouble.
After all, even Professor Terra clearly told himself that there was no solution for the time being.
So he started trying to make Wizard's Chess.
Transfiguration Biscuits is simply Advanced Transfiguration, from "living thing" to "living thing".
Wizard's Chess is also Advanced Transfiguration, from "item" to "magic". But there is something more, that is, each chess piece has its own thoughts and can communicate with the wizard.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of alchemy.
After a long time, Sean entered Alchemy office holding a Chessboard.
"What are you looking at! Heretic! Be careful, I will burn you to death!"
shouted a white chess piece. It was wearing a robe, like a bishop from some church.
His shouting instantly angered the senior wizard who had just finished his training. He looked back and turned off the engine again.
Because Sean has been apologizing continuously.
"Damn evil wizard, take a hit from me!"
The knight-looking chess piece threw out the sword in his hand, but unfortunately, it was stopped by Silent Levitation Charm of Sean.
In order to prevent this group of lawless chess pieces from causing anything else, Sean dodged and entered Alchemy office.
"Oh, kid, you're here, how are you doing Wizard's Chess?"
Professor Terra was busy writing something and didn't look up.
"What a beautiful lady, please come to my castle dinner..."
Sean said affectionately to the king-looking chess piece in his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, the "Queen" took a sword from the knight and angrily stabbed the "King" to death.
Sean is somewhat helpless. These chess pieces seem to be a bit too individual.
If the little wizards use this kind of chess to play against each other - then the game will be over before the battle even begins. Because their king fell first.
"Interesting chess piece, isn't it?"
Professor Terra is full of admiration,
"They are so illogical that your will is strong enough, child, that when you make your alchemical creations, your magic goes into them.
And magic is precisely the embodiment of the wizard's will. A wizard with a strong will that Lord of the Cauldron could only dream of, be careful to stir up a storm.
But take it one step at a time, kid. "
Professor Terra took Chessboard. She moved her fingers slightly and cast some magic. The chess pieces stood still and couldn't even speak.
Sean knows what the professor is talking about, because it is clear on System Panel:
[Mrs. Liss Biscuit: entry level (700/900)]
[Owl Biscuits: entry level (10/900)]
[Elk Biscuit: entry level (10/900)]
[Rooster Biscuit: entry level (10/900)]
[Intermediate level·Wizard's Chess: Apprentice level (10/300)]
[Three expert-level Intermediate Alchemical Creation and six entry-level alchemical creations can unlock Alchemy Domain expert-level Title]
If he can't produce it, it's not because his method is wrong or he doesn't have talent.
Just because Fantastic Beast biscuits is too difficult.
