Chapter 55
On the first day back at Hogwarts, Thorne was still calm and did not cause any trouble, until the next day...
"Dumbledore! Do you mind your bird?"
Early in the morning, Dumbledore was still lying in bed dreaming when he was called by Thorne.
"What's wrong? Seriously, you'd better be fine, otherwise I'll put on my pointed leather shoes and kick your ass hard." Dumbledore walked out of the bedroom wearing a set of flirty pink pajamas.
Then he saw Thorne fighting with Fawkes in the office.
"What are you two doing so early in the morning?" Dumbledore waved his hand with a dark face to separate the man and the bird, and said stiffly.
"Just woke up, I saw Fawkes walking around, so I hugged her and asked if I could have one or two of her feathers." Thorne sat in his seat and gave Fawkes a middle finger and then said to Dumbledore.
"Fawkes has no tail feathers now, and the ordinary feathers of the phoenix have no magic power, so it's useless for you to go." Dumbledore explained.
"Yes, she told me so too, anyway, her voice suddenly appeared in my mind."
"Well, she does know this trick, so how did you fight?" Dumbledore asked.
"I said, she has no tail feathers, but she still has meat, so she beat me cruelly with her wings and her mouth!" Thorne complained aggrievedly.
"Sometimes I really want to report to the Aurors and ask them to put you in Azkaban so that the cold air emitted by the Dementors can sober you up." Dumbledore said faintly.
"So you are in cahoots with this stinky bird?"
"It has nothing to do with this, I'm just curious...how can such words come out of your mouth?"
As a result, Thorne left the principal's office before Dumbledore finished speaking.
"...Did you beat Thorne away?" Dumbledore rolled his eyes and glanced at Fawkes, then went back to sleep.
...................
He slept until noon. Dumbledore came out of the bedroom and looked at Thorne, who was drawing on the table, with some curiosity, but was blocked by the latter's quick eyes and hands.
"What are you drawing?"
"I can't tell you."
"Okay... By the way, what do you want Fawkes' feathers for?" Dumbledore sat down and asked.
"Didn't you use her tail feathers to perform a death-substitution spell for me before? During the activation of the death-substitution spell, I found that the flame shield that had been based on theory before could be used directly. I think it was the benefit brought to me by Fawkes' feathers, so I want to ask her for another one." Thorne hugged his shoulders and said angrily.
"If you want feathers, you want feathers. You have nothing to do, why do you want meat? She beat you well." Dumbledore said faintly.
"............I saw her every time she was reborn, the main function was the soul, and the extra flesh was directly burned. Anyway, that thing was useless... Who knew she would get angry." Thorne curled his lips and said.
"You think that is.............Forget it, how can the flame shield not be used?" Dumbledore was a little confused when he heard this outrageous explanation, but asked again after he sorted out his mood.
"I think there is no problem with the principle and magic, but the summoned flame is not obedient... Do you think it is a problem of elemental affinity?" Thorne suddenly asked halfway through.
"The concept of elemental affinity is made up in novels. The background is that wizards have different talents for different types of magic, so some people disassemble it into the concept of elemental affinity. In fact, it is much more complicated than that." Dumbledore waved his hand and said.
"Then tell me, is keeping secrets addictive?"
"To be honest, it feels really good."
"I'm asking about magic."
"That has nothing to do with magic power, but with your soul and mentality. We all know that magic is related to emotions. For example, if you use a high-level water magic, your mentality should be as smooth as water, turning and flowing, and using softness to overcome hardness."
"When using high-level fire magic, your mentality should be as unstoppable as fire, burning and destroying everything in front of you."
"But you... When you use flesh and blood magic, you think about making this enemy's brain open up, making that enemy open up his heart, or directly breaking his bones in his body, or breaking his spine."
"In short... your mentality is almost the two extremes of the mentality of fire magic. One is extremely grand, and the other is extremely detailed. Next time youJust change the emotional state of mind, and that's it."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he tactically picked up the thermos on the table and drank a sip of water, waiting for Thorne's next question.
Sure enough...
"Did the Phoenix Feather help me by changing my emotions at that time or what?" Thorne asked.
"The Phoenix Feather can't change your emotions, but you borrowed the emotions in the Phoenix Feather."
"I borrowed emotions? Can Phoenix Feather store emotions?" Thorne was puzzled.
"Except for humans, most of the body tissues of other magical creatures can store emotions, because most of them have only one emotion, which also causes them to basically only master one kind of magic and cannot use magic of other attributes, but magic of this attribute is easy for them to use."
"And humans are too complicated, with very messy emotions. There are many kinds of magic that can be used, but there are not many magics that can be truly specialized." Dumbledore replied.
"So if I want to truly specialize in one.........several kinds of magic, what do I need to do? "Thorne asked.
"If you change your emotions frequently for a long time, you will easily become a schizophrenic lunatic, so I suggest you use flesh and blood magic to absorb the flesh and blood of several magical creatures to seize their magical talents... You know, there is no good solution for mental illness such as schizophrenia in the magic world. After drinking the potion, you will drool." Dumbledore said, spreading his hands.
".............I remember there are a group of Thestrals in our school?" Thorne was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Wait until you have a good relationship with Fox. The breath of death of the Thestrals cannot be suppressed by unicorns alone." Dumbledore quickly interrupted Thorne's plan.
"Okay........."
