A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

"You... what kind of magic is this?" Helena's expression was very wonderful.

"A use of memory magic," Felix explained, a thin layer of sweat dripping from his forehead. "Can I stay for a while? To be honest, I'm not very good at this magic."

She stopped.

Felix's head was a little dizzy. He constructed a large amount of memory in an instant, and used it again, making his mind dizzy.

Helena looked at him with concern.

Felix took a few deep breaths and felt much better. He said to Helena, "We're friends, right?"

"certainly."

"Excuse my presumption, ma'am. From your story, it's not so much that you hate other people as it is—you hate yourself."

Her expression suddenly fell silent, and she turned her body slightly, blocking half of her face in the shadows.

Felix slowed down his tone as much as possible: "Why did you become a ghost, is it because you are afraid of death? From my contact with you, I don't think so. What really bothers you is your guilt towards your mother. Can't let go."

He said with a very serious expression: "Baro the blood man has been shackled for thousands of years, why are you not? I hope you can try to forgive yourself..."

Night fell upon the castle, and after a long silence—

"The person who can forgive me has disappeared forever, on the third day after I became a ghost." Helena said coldly, turned and floated away.

This time, Felix didn't stop.

...

The birth of ghosts comes from obsession, and the thoughts before death are the brightest and most intense. Therefore, most of the ghosts' obsessions are out of fear and escape from death.

There are very few cases like Professor Helena, Barrow and Binns.

For Helena, her obsession is guilt and regret—regret that her ignorance made a big mistake, regret that she didn’t believe Barrow’s words, regret that she didn’t see her mother for the last time, and didn’t apologize to her in person…

That night, he appeared in front of the white walls of the Room of Requirement.

Through the conversation with Helena Ravenclaw, he suddenly thought of an angle that he had never considered.

He thought to himself, "I'm looking for the room that Rowena Ravenclaw left for her daughter Helena Ravenclaw...I'm looking for Rowena Ravenclaw's room for her daughter Helena Ravenclaw... Ravenclaw's room...I'm looking for the room that Rowena Ravenclaw left for his daughter Helena Ravenclaw..."

Will it work? It stands to reason that there should be no such loopholes...

Felix opened his eyes slowly, and an ordinary blue door, drawn from the white wall, appeared in reality.

On the door, a silver-white handle protruded.

Felix put his hand on the doorknob, but at this moment, he suddenly hesitated.

After a while, he firmly pushed open the door.

Inside the door is a very rudimentary room. The room is not big. There are a few simple tables and chairs, a few pots of flowers, and books. The place is spotless, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.

"Is anyone there?" he asked.

After a long time, he got no response. He tapped his forehead with his fingers and changed his perspective.

The color faded quickly, and the ripples continued to spread with him as the center.

Felix saw the materialized magic power source and the silk-like stretch in the deepest part, and a dozen magic power channels penetrated into the air like chains.

‘Here is the true heart of the House of Requirement. ' A thought came to his mind.

...

For the next few days, Felix wobbled and struggled to make up his mind.

He had realized that the heart of the Room of Requirement was that room.

And deep in the magic, something that looks like silk, he also guessed, it is most likely a memory left by Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw.

He didn't know why he was allowed in, maybe he mentioned the name Helena Ravenclaw? And the memories left by Ms. Ravenclaw were still dormant, and he made his discovery.

According to common sense, he should tell Helena about this immediately, which is good for both parties - Helena can reconcile with her mother, and he can take the opportunity to ask some magic mysteries, and even if he is lucky, he can get the The Legacy of Venclaw.

But he found he didn't expect much from it.

For the ghost, continuing to 'go on' means relief, but what does it mean for someone who has formed a friendship with the ghost in reality?

Felix felt confused, and his past experience could not help him, so he chose to ask more wise people.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what do you think of 'death'?"

"Um... Felix, why did you ask this question all of a sudden?" Dumbledore looked at him puzzled.

"Because of some things I have feelings for."

Realizing that Felix didn't want to explain, Dumbledore thoughtfully didn't ask more, he thought for a moment, smacking his lips and saying, "Everyone sees death differently, fears, avoids, hates...but for some people , like me, is welcome."

"Welcome?" Felix wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Felix, for an old man, there is nothing in the world that can make him dread. For him, death is just an unknown, new and interesting thing, like a ticket to a great adventure."

Felix shook his head. This was different from his concept. He might not be afraid of death, but he wouldn't expect it either.

He asked the question he cared most about: "Then what do you think the existence of ghosts means?"

"Ghosts? They are stuck in reality because of strong obsessions..."

"No no, Headmaster Dumbledore," he interrupted Dumbledore, "excuse me, it may be that I didn't describe very well..."

Dumbledore looked at him understandingly, giving Felix time to reorganize his language, and this time he asked cautiously: "The ghost exists because of obsession, and will be freed from obsession. Right?"

"That's right," Dumbledore agreed, blinking his eyes.

"What kind of relief then? Another death? Especially for her real-life living friend, I mean...that's a permanent separation, no different from death."

"She?" Dumbledore asked.

Felix was silent and did not answer.

Dumbledore thought for a while before saying: "Different people may have different understandings, I can only speak my thoughts for your reference."

"That's what I'm here for, to help me see something with your wisdom," Felix said.

"For ghosts, 'keep going' is definitely a relief. Being stuck in reality doesn't make them happy, in fact, they can continue talking and walking, but they can't enjoy anything and are always obsessed with Fettered - few choose to perpetuate existence in the most impoverished way."

"What about the living? What about the ghost's friend?"

"Only blessings." Dumbledore said calmly: "It may be that I have been through too much, so I always see things clearly, to a certain extent..." He said softly: "It's even a little inhumane. "
