Chapter 199: Andros the Invincible

"Luna, Andros isn't English, he's a wizard from ancient Greece."

In the Ravenclaw common room, Arthur was helping Luna with her History of Magic essay.

Although Luna is a very smart girl, her thoughts sometimes wander, which puts her at a disadvantage in certain subjects.

The History of Magic was one of them, and Arthur had reason to suspect that Luna had always been in a trance state during Professor Binns' classes.

"But Professor Binns said, Arthur, you are the modern-day Andros. Aren't you Greek instead of British?"

Looking up with her small head, Luna looked a bit confused as she gazed at her boyfriend. Arthur couldn't help but smile and ruffle Luna's hair.

It was his fault for the confusion caused by his charm.

He smiles as he explains to Luna, "Luna, what Professor Binns meant is that both Andros and I are very skilled in protective magic spells, which is why he described us like that."

Andros was a famous ancient Greek Wizard, and in his time, he was even celebrated as invincible. His most famous accomplishment was summoning a Patronus Charm the size of a giant, which was and is the largest Patronus ever recorded.

Probably, Professor Binns had heard about Arthur's achievements on the train, that's why he praised him like that.

"Oh, I see!"

Luna suddenly realized this and immediately lowered her head to revise her essay.

Cho, who is passing the time by reading a book of wizard travel essays, watches the two of them with a strange gaze.

Why does she feel like Arthur is treating Luna like a daughter?

All this time, Cho noticed that Arthur never lost patience with Luna. Their conversations were always gentle and soft, even when Luna said some eccentric things.

Arthur always supported her opinions, which made Hermione a bit frustrated.

This attitude seemed more and more like her own father's attitude towards her.

Arthur also felt Cho's increasingly strange gaze and turned his head with some confusion.

"Cho, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Upon hearing Arthur's question, Autumn quickly came back to her senses and dismissed this somewhat absurd thought from her mind.

"It's nothing, I was just curious if Andros is really that powerful. Are ancient wizards more powerful than modern ones?"

Cho wasn't asking to change the subject; she was really interested in the topic.

There are a few other Ravenclaws in the common room who hear Cho's question and are equally interested.

"Yeah, Arthur, explain it to us."

"Right, right, were those ancient wizards more powerful than our headmaster?"

"I don't think so. Headmaster Dumbledore was called the greatest wizard of all time!"

Seeing so many people interested in the question, Arthur didn't refuse and treated it as a casual conversation.

"First, let's answer Cho's first question: Is Andros really that powerful?"

"The answer is yes, Andros is truly a powerful wizard. According to historical records, he was an excellent duelist of his time and never experienced defeat."

"In addition, he was a very generous wizard. During duels, he would never go all out, and after winning, he warmly invited his opponents to enjoy fine food and wine together.

When everyone heard this, they were all in admiration. In their minds, they saw charismatic and joyful heroic wizards.

They thought Andros would have a big party at his house for defeated enemies and fans.

"Are there any other famous wizards?"

Now, every Ravenclaw was interested in Arthur's storytelling and excited to hear about the great things other great wizards had done.

Michael Corner gave Arthur a glass of lemonade and told him to enjoy it with a knowing look.

Arthur gave him an appreciative look, took a sip of lemonade to moisten his throat, and continued his story.

"Actually, the most well-known are the four founders of Hogwarts. They had great fame and power in magical history."

Hearing this, the others felt proud, knowing they had the privilege of studying at such a prestigious school.

"So, Arthur, among these four founders, who was the most powerful?"

One young wizard asked the question, sparking a heated discussion among the others.

"It must be Lady Ravenclaw, the founder of our house!"

"But Salazar Slytherin was a famous dark wizard in history. Lady Ravenclaw might not have been his match."

"It should be Godric Gryffindor. After all, he was the one who drove Slytherin out of the school."

Everyone had their own opinion and couldn't change anyone else's mind. Finally, they turned their attention to Arthur.

Once everyone had finished discussing, Arthur shared his opinion.

"I believe that during that era, the most powerful wizard was Godric Gryffindor."

"In the historical records of Hogwarts, it is clearly recorded that Gryffindor was the most incredible duelist of that time. He was also a master of Legilimency, and the Sorting Hat we use in the Houses is a relic of Gryffindor."

Hearing Arthur's well-reasoned argument, everyone believed his perspective.

In fact, Arthur had heard this from Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw themselves.

Arthur had asked Slytherin this question before, and without hesitation, Slytherin admitted that he couldn't match Gryffindor in a fair duel.

In fact, there was no one in history as skilled in wizard duels as Gryffindor.

As a former close friend, Slytherin certainly knew Gryffindor best. He described Gryffindor's magic as both majestic and aggressive.

Rowena Ravenclaw had also said similar things to Arthur. She compared Gryffindor to the war god Ares in the wizarding world, stating that no one could match him apart from Merlin.

"Arthur, can Headmaster Dumbledore be compared to these great wizards?"

Cho asked another question that piqued everyone's curiosity. All eyes were now eagerly fixed on Arthur, waiting for his answer.
