More than two hours later, Andy closed the book with a complicated expression on his face.
The book, Conversation with Your Soul, could be said to have unravelled the mystery of the soul tentatively to Andy.
Soul, the most mysterious force in the human body.
It cannot be seen or touched, but it truly exists in the human body. It is the source of memory, thinking, ego, emotions and many other aspects - it is also the source that governs everything in our body.
Furthermore, it is because of the possession of the soul that life develops the perception of 'I' for itself.
The Imperius Curse is a dark magic developed by dark wizards based on their study of the soul.
Soul Out of Body!
When the 'I' leaves the body, the body will naturally be manipulated by someone else.
And the so-called 'conversation with the soul' is actually a process of recognizing the soul of the self.
The author of the book developed an interesting form of magic based on the Imperius Curse - somewhat similar in nature, where you use the Imperius Curse on yourself.
When the magic takes effect, the caster takes control of their body in a different form.
The perception is similar to being under an Imperius Curse, but the difference is that the caster can relay commands for action to his or her own body through a magical link.
The more interesting part was that after the spell was cast, the caster could clearly perceive his own soul.
Andy thought that that state should be somewhere between, out-of-body and not out-of-body.
Of course, this magic was extremely dangerous.
Once the spell failed, the caster would forever be in the state of being under the Imperius Curse, and it was irreversible.
At first, it would be fine, because the caster would still be able to control his or her own body through the link of magic power. But once they were in this state for a long time, the caster's brain would become blank, thus they would lose control of their body.
'What a stupid idea.' Andy thought.
The most important thing was that even if the spell was successful, it would not bring any substantial benefits to him.
Sensing the existence of the soul, was it useful?
At the moment, it's useless!
After reading this book, Andy did have a preliminary understanding of the soul. But other than that, this book did not bring Andy any practical benefits.
Andy didn't even know what the benefits of a strong soul actually were.
"Maybe after I add points to my soul attribute, I can truly understand the role of the soul!"
Putting the book back on the shelf, Andy took a new book and read it.
***
Since he didn't have to go to class tomorrow, Andy stayed up until after two o'clock in the latter part of the night before returning to his dormitory to sleep.
The next day, Andy got up late as a matter of course.
Breakfast had also turned into lunch.
"Did you go to the Quidditch team tryout?" Andy asked as he ate.
"Nope, didn't watch it, I've been practising magic." Hermione shook her head.
Andy was just about to ask 'Didn't you accompany Cho to the tryout' when he snapped to the realization that Cho Chang had roommates.
"What are you going to do this afternoon?" Hermione asked.
"Learning the Parseltongue." Andy didn't hide it.
"Parseltongue!?"
Hermione looked at Andy with a surprised face and asked curiously, "How are you going to learn? Did you find books related to the Parseltongue?"
The young witch had grown up a lot recently, so when she heard such shocking news, she didn't shout as much as she used to.
Andy smiled heatedly, "Harry is a Parselmouth."
"Harry Potter? Is he a Parselmouth? Does he have Slytherin blood?" Hermione looked surprised.
Andy explained, "The person who opened the Chamber of Secrets sixty years ago was Voldemort, and Harry, on the other hand, is Voldemort's destined nemesis."
Hermione frowned slightly, "That doesn't seem to matter."
Andy pointed to his forehead, "Maybe Voldemort left his power inside Harry that night..."
Originally, Andy had merely made a casual remark.
The only reason Andy knew that Harry was Parselmouth was purely because Andy had seen the first Harry Potter film.
But when Andy finished speaking, Andy himself froze.
The secret to Voldemort's immortality is Horcrux.
And there was more than one Horcrux.
So how did Harry, in the original film, find those Horcruxes?
It couldn't have been Voldemort himself who took them out, could it?
Andy thought of the method of making a Horcrux mentioned in Secrets of the Darkest Art - killing and splitting the soul.
If Voldemort split the soul that night ...
Then Harry Potter ... could very well be Voldemort's Horcrux?
It was also because of this that Harry could sense the location of the other Horcruxes, which was why he was able to destroy all the Horcruxes and kill Voldemort once and for all.
Was this the truth?
Andy froze for a moment, if this was the truth, then Harry was also going to die, right?
But Harry ...
Andy had heard that Harry had ended up with children.
"Okay…! You've got a bit of a point ..."
Just as the words came out of her mouth, Hermione suddenly looked at Andy with a surprised expression, "Andy, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing; just thought of something." Andy shook his head.
Hermione also did not pursue the question.
Andy would usually tell her anything he could. Even if it was something inconvenient for her to know, Andy would not hide it from her.
If Andy didn't say it, then it was a matter that absolutely couldn't be told to her.
"Then you ..."
Hermione hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered calmly, "When you learn the Parseltongue, are you going to open the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Uh-huh!"
Andy nodded, "I want to find the research materials that Slytherin left behind."
"I'm going too," Hermione said.
"No, Basilisk is dangerous." Andy refused without even thinking about it.
"If you knew the Basilisk is dangerous, then why do you want to open the Chamber of Secrets," Hermione said defiantly.
"I can deal with it ..."
Andy sighed, "Fine! I can take you with me. But you definitely can't go in there until the Basilisk is dead."
"Not until then!" Hermione responded.
"Tell you what!"
Andy said suddenly, "If you can turn the rock into an eagle and have it take you into the air, I promise to take you in with me."
"That's the escape method you came up with?" Hermione nodded, it really was a good idea.
"No problem, don't underestimate me," Hermione said.
"Then it's a deal."
Between the small talk, Andy had finished his lunch, "I'm going to go to the library and read for a bit, my appointment with Harry is at two in the afternoon."
"I don't want to learn the Parseltongue." Hermione was a little disgusted.
"It's not like I'm asking you to learn it."
Andy laughed, "I told Harry that I wouldn't tell anyone else the secret that he is a Parselmouth."
Hermione rolled her eyes, then suddenly something occurred to her, "That's not what you said last time."
Andy froze.
"You're talking about that Professor Snape thing!"
Andy responded, "Can Harry fight as well as Snape? Can he deduct points from me? Can he detain me?"
He couldn't!
