Homecoming from Hogwarts

Two soft chairs came out of the void. After sitting down, the tiredness in Amosta's brows and eyes became obvious. He gently rubbed the center of his brows and said nothing.

Just as Amosta had invaded Onisto Pastore's spiritual world, Dumbledore gently opened the eyelids of the sleeping Muggle on the hospital bed. He took off his half-moon framed eyes, clear and clear. His blue pupils were as bright as the blue moon rising over the river.

"As you said-"

About ten minutes later, Dumbledore straightened up. He lowered his eyebrows and thought, and slowly sat down on another sofa next to the hospital bed. Amosta said in time,

"I erased Onisto Pastore's memory, along with the evil thoughts and magic that destroyed his mind. These things are intertwined with his memory. This can only be done, otherwise he will be destroyed with the mental power of a Muggle. It is said that his consciousness will soon collapse and his body will be exhausted.

This was not easy for me, because it already involved soul-level powers. Fortunately, he was a Muggle, and it was not that difficult to manipulate his soul. I rewrote Kit's personality into him. In my memory, it was a cleaner in my orphanage who passed away the year I graduated from Hogwarts. In the last few years of her life, Kit was not very bright and often forgot that she was who.

But you know, it's impossible for me to figure out everything that happens in a person's life, so this false personality is not complete. "

Perhaps due to fatigue, there was a hint of weakness in Amosta's voice, but Dumbledore never interrupted. He just remained silent and listened. Even after Amosta finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

"Let me see, Headmaster Dumbledore—"

Seemingly realizing that Dumbledore's silence was unreasonable, Amosta raised his eyebrows and looked at Dumbledore opposite with a smile.
"You probably think that completely erasing a person's original memory is equivalent to killing a person. Do you think I shouldn't restore this Muggle to consciousness in this way?"

"Maybe I'm more liberal than you think, Amosta."

A smile finally appeared on Dumbledore's old face, and he looked at Amosta calmly,

"Your method did help this poor Muggle prolong his life and relieve his pain. I won't blame you for doing this, oh, but I must admit, I am surprised-"

Dumbledore looked at Amosta with strange eyes, his silver beard and hair fluttering slightly,
"I didn't expect that. Even though you are in my sight most of the time, Amosta, I still didn't realize that your magic power has reached this level. It can peel off the dark magic that infects the surface of a soul. I I can’t guarantee that I can do this myself, even with a Muggle soul.”

"Oh, you are still so humble, Principal Dumbledore." Amosta smiled.

"Oh, that's not exactly modesty, Amosta,"

Dumbledore said,
"You are in the soul, which is the most profound type of magic among all categories of magic. Your magical attainments are beyond my expectations. So far, the only magic I know that can directly affect the soul is the Death Curse. and Horcruxes"

"There are no less than twenty ancient magical books on this subject on the bookshelf in your office, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Amosta shook his head.

"The Death Curse and the Horcrux are very specific to the soul, and it is impossible to draw parallels based on the principles of these two magics. It is the Blood Curse. This ancient curse can be used to analyze the structure of the soul to a certain extent. , and through studying it, I can barely use the deeper soul power."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Despicable Herbo's blood curse?"

Amosta nodded slightly,

"Just like the night I returned to Hogwarts two years ago, I expressed my views on dark magic to you. Even in dark magic, there is a part worth learning and learning from."

"Your point of view is thought-provoking, Amostar." Dumbledore's smile became much lighter, "But since you can already use the power of the soul, it is enough to show that you have almost seen the barrier, right?"

That barrier!

Amosta's eyes suddenly became brighter, and his tone contained a rare earnestness, even a request!
"When did you see that barrier, Principal Dumbledore, and what happened after that?"

"Oh, that's a long story."

Dumbledore winked playfully, feeling amused. What makes Amosta so thirsty may be this aspect of magical knowledge. After all, in the contemporary magical world, even going back several centuries, no one has reached this level.

"I don't have as outstanding magical talent as you, Amosta. To be able to have such profound attainments in magic at this age, I saw that the barrier was already... oh, it happened after the age of forty, and then there He lingered in front of the barrier for many years before breaking the barrier before that duel."

that duel
Amosta frowned slightly, and then he had the answer in his heart.

Dumbledore looked at Amosta, looking at him with a look he had never seen before.
"You can see that barrier at this age, Amosta. I guess your natural soul 'strength' must be far beyond that of ordinary people."

Amosta felt awe-inspiring in his heart. This was indeed his guess about the reason for his obviously limited and abnormal magical talent. The strength of the soul was different from the level of mana. At the beginning, the difference between individual individuals was not big, and his The "capacity" of the soul must be more generous than that of ordinary people, because when he was born in this world, his soul was "double".

"You mentioned the 'strength' of the soul, Principal Dumbledore, is this the key to breaking the barrier? What exactly is this so-called barrier?"

Amosta did not explain and could not explain his strangeness, but continued to ask.

"Oh, I'm afraid I can only give you a rough description. The inheritance in related aspects is almost cut off--"

Dumbledore said,
"You know, there is a wonderful connection between our soul and our body. The soul resides in the body. It is the fundamental force that drives the body. The soul is also weak. It cannot do without the protection of the body. The so-called barrier, It is the body’s protection of the soul.”

"what do you mean--"

Amosta frowned slightly.

"Breaking the barrier means breaking the body's protection of the soul. Can the soul exist in the world independently of the body?"

"It exists independently, but it is not a mark of the soul remaining in the world like a ghost."

Dumbledore nodded and said solemnly.

"Can you do it?" Amosta was obviously a little stunned.

"about this point."

Dumbledore's smile looks a little complicated,

"Only once. That was the time I crossed the barrier. Oh, it was such a wonderful experience. Even when I think about it now, it makes me feel incredible."

Although Amosta looked surprised now, even Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but then, a bit of bitterness appeared in his calm face,
"--That day, with the help of Newt and several friends, we defeated Gellert's conspiracy to control the International Federation of Wizards. Maybe you have heard that I was friends with Gellert when I was young, In order to ensure our friendship with each other, we even made a blood pact, agreeing that we would not become each other's enemies.

The blood pact broke down that day for some strange reasons. After Gellert escaped, that day, I returned to my home in Godric's Hollow. At that time, I had been stranded in front of that barrier for a long time, and some complicated emotions helped me break through. That barrier was shattered, and my soul separated from my body. Driven by a strong instinct that I couldn't resist, my consciousness tried to float to the stars. My soul seemed to be looking for something."

Amosta's heart skipped a beat.
"Looking for what?"

Dumbledore shook his head regretfully,
“I don’t know, Amosta, it’s not a secret.

I don’t know what that strong instinct is driving me to look for, but before that, the feeling of weakness in my soul reminds me that if my soul does not return to my body as soon as possible, then it will dissipate. Obviously, I Although the soul has broken through the shackles of the body, it has not been 'nourished' by magic power enough, and it does not have the ability to completely get rid of the body. "
