Bab 131: Chapter 131: Communication Between Two Riddles
"Principal, the transformation of mental power through meditation is different from that achieved by wizard blood," Lockhart began.
"One is tendentious, while the other is more comprehensive," Dumbledore responded thoughtfully.
"Regarding the meditation method," Dumbledore continued, "I believe visualizing rune patterns is crucial. Simultaneously, we should consciously adjust our mental frequency to further improve the efficiency of mental power cultivation."
Lockhart nodded in agreement. "You mentioned that some runes impact the wizard's bloodline. I did some research and found that by adding these two runes, we can minimize the impact significantly."
After Lockhart finished explaining the meditation method, he and Principal Dumbledore delved into further discussions and research. Initially, the two could exchange ideas freely, but as time went on, Dumbledore's vast knowledge became increasingly evident to Lockhart.
Facing some of Lockhart's more complex questions, Dumbledore pondered for a moment before providing insightful solutions. This made Lockhart extremely pleased; bringing Dumbledore into the discussion was undoubtedly the right choice.
Lockhart knew that while Kamar Taj's meditation method was excellent, achieving the same effect in the Harry Potter world was nearly impossible. One of the most significant differences was that one relied on the power of Vishanti, while the other depended on one's own bloodline—a substantial difference in itself. Not to mention the environmental disparities between the two worlds.
Therefore, Lockhart had been working on modifying the meditation method to make it more suitable for wizards in the Harry Potter world. He encountered numerous problems, some solvable and others that had him stumped. After discussing these with Dumbledore, all the obstacles were resolved.
As their conversation progressed, Lockhart became more excited, and his admiration for Dumbledore's knowledge grew. It was no wonder the White Wizard, who defeated two generations of Dark Lords, held such a high reputation. Sitting in the library of Hogwarts, this level of knowledge was truly remarkable.
Suddenly, Dumbledore asked, "Lockhart, after Squibs master the meditation method, how long do you think it will take them to cast their first spell?"
Lockhart answered without hesitation, "Headmaster, it still depends on talent. The meditation method is more about spiritual talent than blood. With good mental talent, a Squib can cast their first spell after a week of hard training. If a potion is provided, the time can be further shortened. For a Squib with poor talent, diligence is key. It may take three to four months. If they are lazy, it will take longer."
"I see," Dumbledore said thoughtfully. "So, with hard training, it takes at most half a year for a Squib to become a wizard capable of casting simple spells."
"Yes, Principal," Lockhart nodded. "Though their magical blood is weak, it is sufficient for them to accumulate magic and transform their mental power, granting them some spell-casting ability."
Dumbledore squinted and joked, "It seems that in the future, Hogwarts should relax its admissions requirements and recruit Squibs with good mental talents."
Lockhart smiled and affirmed, "Headmaster, that's a great idea. Perhaps more wizard geniuses born as Squibs will emerge at Hogwarts in the future."
Dumbledore sighed, "However, we face a problem. A wizard born as a Squib will never be admitted to Slytherin House. Slytherin House has strict bloodline requirements, favoring purebloods."
Lockhart understood Dumbledore's implication. After a moment of thought, he said meaningfully, "They are all in the same school and study under the same professors. There's no need to mingle with purebloods; just be themselves. Different circles shouldn't force integration."
Dumbledore nodded and praised, "You're right, Lockhart. Different circles are difficult to integrate. Forced integration often leads to mockery."
Dumbledore then shifted the topic with a hint, "However, purebloods are different from ordinary wizards. They have a strong sense of competition and often unite in the face of danger. You know this well."
Lockhart replied directly, "Headmaster, cohesion is necessary. But its strength is debatable. Without a leader, everyone must find their own way."
Dumbledore fell silent, reflecting on Lockhart's blunt answer. He had been hinting that to promote his magic system, Lockhart must first overcome the opposition of pureblood families. By using the example of Hogwarts admissions, Dumbledore highlighted the purebloods' attitude toward Squibs.
Setting aside resource concerns, a pureblood would never allow a Squib to surpass them. They pride themselves on their bloodline, and a magic system that doesn't rely on bloodline threatens their sanctity, power, and status. Dumbledore understood the pureblood families' mentality well. They would undoubtedly oppose the new magic system if it posed any threat.
Lockhart understood Dumbledore's point and revealed some of his plans. He aimed to divide the pureblood families, drawing one faction away to fight another, while promoting the magic system. The lack of a unified leader among purebloods made it impossible for them to fully unite.
Despite this, Dumbledore remained skeptical about Lockhart's chances. The enemies he faced included more than just pureblood families.
Seeing Dumbledore's hesitation, Lockhart sighed softly. He had not concealed his purpose during their discussions—to ask Dumbledore to support the distribution of the new magic system. He emphasized how the new system would affect the future of the wizarding world, knowing that pure interests wouldn't tempt Dumbledore.
In their tacit exchange, both parties avoided direct requests to prevent a point of no return. Despite this, they said everything they needed to.
Dumbledore's attitude was neither explicit agreement nor direct refusal. Lockhart decided to test the waters further.
"Principal, I will go back and organize the paper on meditation. Would you like me to add your name to it? After all, you helped solve many of the problems."
