Chapter 150 Sixth Metamorphosis
With less than a week left of the Easter holidays, Felix dropped all activities and hid in the Room of Requirement to practice memory magic and Patronus charm, he had a feeling that this magic is going to undergo a qualitative change.
It is a very strange feeling, the state of both fluidity and rawness appearing in him at the same time.
As time passed, day by day, even the students who happened to meet in the hallway noticed that Felix's state is off.
"Professor? Are you not feeling well?" Hermione looked into his silvery eyes and asked cautiously.
When Professor Hap looked over, she had the feeling that her thoughts were easily seen through.
Felix turned his head away slightly and said gently, "It's nothing, it's just some progress in magic, it'll be fine after a while."
On the last day of the Easter holidays, the Room of Requirement -
At the moment, he seated in a wide bronze armchair, his body leaned forward, his slender fingers supporting his chin, seemingly lost in eternal thought.
Felix's heart rippled as memories of using Patronus charm in the past kept pouring back into his mind--
From the first successful manifestation of the Patronus form in the fifth year.
To the company during the night tour in the forbidden forest.
The battle with the Lethifold during the graduation tour.
And the countless times of practicing day in and day out ...
Every time I waved my wand, every time what I thought and felt, every time I gathered happiness, every time I watched its wings sweep across the sky ...
These memories, like a volcanic eruption, came flooding back to the mind in a flash.
But Felix is no longer as helpless as he was in his fourth year, he has a wealth of experience, while with the help of his own breakthrough in memory magic a few days ago, he's constantly sorting through his chaos of thoughts.
The books in the Room were tossed and turned as if swept by a fierce wind, and the runes of various colours burst out in unison with a brilliant light.
Countless silvery feathers appeared in his mind, filling his entire world of thought, and then at a certain moment, these feathers converged toward the very center.
The speed is as fast it can be!
A silver streak clashed together and exploded into a large cloud of silver fog, thousands of rain swallows went forward and backward, and the silver fog at the center kept tumbling as if something is brewing.
In the Room of Requirement, Felix's pair of eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his light blue pupils shone with a dazzling silver light.
As the glow reached its peak, Felix drew out his wand and quickly stabbed it forward--
"Expecto Patronum!"
A ball of silver light blasted out, first swelling away rapidly, engulfing Felix's figure completely, spreading instantly to half the room, and after a brief pause of a moment, the silver light quickly shrank and condensed into a silver Rain Swallow.
That is Felix's new Patronus.
This rain swallow is far bigger than the normal one, the size of an owl, its body is dotted with dense light dots.
These light dots are connected to each other with the help of tiny, untraceable filaments, like the Patronus bones and blood vessels.
When the last ray of silver light integrated into the Patronus, these light dots and filaments were invisible.
What appeared in front of Felix is a brand new Patronus with a physical form.
A level six Patronus Charm!
He and the silver Rain Swallow looked at each other, and it seemed to sense his thoughts as it unfolded its scythe-like wings and weaved through the room like a lightning bolt, and as far as the eye could see, it appeared as a continuous silver trail.
"Your speed has become faster again," Felix said admiringly.
Rain Swallow appeared abruptly in front of him, floating in midair, giving a short cry to express its inner joy to Felix.
Felix reached out his index finger and gently touched its head, it felt like a smooth texture, if he didn't look at the silver light on its body, he would have thought it is a large mutated bird.
Rain Swallow rubbed against his finger, conveying the emotion of inner joy.
Felix also showed a satisfied smile, on the eve of the end of Easter, he finally turned the accumulation of the recent period into reality -
Occlumency - sixth metamorphosis!
Legilimency - six metamorphoses!
Memory Charm - sixth metamorphosis!
Patronus Charm - sixth metamorphosis!
The breakthroughs of the first three magics were so well-developed that they had already reached the top of the fifth level, and in less than a year after returning to Hogwarts, the depth of magic had deepened because of some experiences -
From the development and practice of Thinking Room magic to the communication with Snape about Memory Magic to the Lockhart's Magic Handbook ... until in the Room of Requirement, meeting Lady Rowena Ravenclaw's thousand-year-old memory, showing him the finest memory magic.
Together with the help of the Diadem, all together, caused his memory magic to undergo a logical qualitative metamorphosis.
And when the memory magic metamorphosed, the breakthrough of the Patronus Charm just happened as a matter of course.
After all, he did not have any barriers, Lady Ravenclaw directly showed him the existence and location of the memory nodes, saving him countless hours. It is only limited by the lack of ability to manipulate memory magic, it seems to be a slight struggle ...
The silver swallow landed on his shoulder and gently nuzzled at his ear.
Felix's thoughts fluttered as he once again pondered a question that had plagued him for a long time - his golden fingers.
In the end, what is his golden finger? Or rather, did Goldfinger really exist?
No panels, no hints, no sudden appearance of other people's opinions ...
There is only tireless practice and transformation, and Felix also named his own spell as Level 1 and Level 2 according to the number of transformations ...
Perhaps this is the essence of his "golden finger" -
An innate talent for magic?
The wizarding world is never short of gifted people, such as the Parseltongue and the Metamorphmagus.
There are also talents that are specific to one field, such as flight, superior transfiguration, potions, or even simply having a superior mastery in particular magic ...
Such examples are common throughout history, but how many of them can bring their talents to the extreme?
And Felix did it.
His own perseverance and wisdom, and the unique magic talent, together made the current him.
" Well, does it matter if it's a golden finger or not?"
Felix smiled, looked at the silver rain swallow on his shoulder, and walked out of the Room of Requirement.
In front of a window, Felix gently tapped the Patronus' forehead, "Go ahead and bring me a moon dew flower from the Forbidden Forest."
The rain swallow spread its wings and turned into a silver stream of light that quickly disappeared into the night sky.
Felix looked at the silver trace it trailed, and suddenly remembered the ancient poem he saw in the Ravenclaw manuscript -
"The stone became a bird, twittering and chirping. Crossing mountains and rivers, it brought back the daisy flowers of the red plains."
