After demonstrating, Dumbledore put away his wand and let the black mist dissipate.
His voice was deep, "Obscurus has extremely high plasticity, but at the same time it is extremely uncontrollable. Most people's understanding of Obscurus is often limited to its uncontrollability."
"But we've forgotten about the Obscurial's talent for shapeshifting magic... the ability to control such immense power, shrinking and expanding at will... isn't that a perfect example of this?"
Vizette nodded somewhat blankly; he genuinely couldn't understand this part of the explanation.
Dumbledore was fully aware of his expertise in Transfiguration magic.
Without Dumbledore's annotations, it would have been very difficult for him to read "A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration".
"So it was just a chat..." Dumbledore smiled gently. "This is my understanding, based on my knowledge, experience, and past..."
"You are different from me. You have a unique talent that can help you achieve twice the results with half the effort when understanding magic."
"A unique talent?" Vizette pursed his lips, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded. "Your eyes… the Magic Eye. It is an extremely ancient and extremely rare talent."
"Headmaster Dumbledore…" Vizette's eyelids twitched, "Did Mr. Ollivander tell you this?"
"Yes, he wanted to keep the secret completely, so he came to me." Dumbledore stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeve.
As he clenched his fist, three chain-like thin lines gradually appeared on his arm.
The fine threads emitted a dazzling light, like fireworks.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, is this... a magical contract?" Vizette asked tentatively.
"Yes! You have a wide range of reading, which is a good thing." Dumbledore smiled approvingly. "This is the 'Unbreakable Vow,' an extremely powerful magical contract."
"An unbreakable vow?" Vizette repeated softly.
Although he deduced from the "keeping secrets" that Dumbledore had entered into a magical contract, he did not know the specific function of this magic.
Adhering to a learning attitude of asking questions when he didn't understand, he asked, "So... this magical contract cannot be broken?"
"In a sense, it really can't be broken…" Dumbledore nodded. "If an oath is broken, the person who breaks it will die."
Vizette gasped. "It's a very dangerous magical contract! But it's also safe enough!"
"Headmaster Dumbledore, would you mind knowing... why you made such a dangerous magical pact?"
"Ollivander values your talent, and that's the most important reason," Dumbledore explained. "I was also shocked when he told me this."
"To prevent this secret from being discovered by others, he made a pact with me. The pact is very simple... We cannot reveal your magical eye to any more people."
"Mr. Ollivander really… I…" Vizette was deeply moved.
Despite only having met Ollivander once, this wand maker managed to go to such lengths.
During this period, although he read the Wand Notebook, he only stayed at the theoretical level and did not put it into real practice.
Dumbledore smiled slightly, keenly sensing the change in Vizette's emotions.
"Wandmaking is not something that can be done overnight; it's an extension of alchemy. It requires a lot of knowledge to learn how to make wands effectively."
"You should relax more and enjoy life in the magical world… If you end up in the school hospital again for a similar reason, Madam Pomfrey will probably knock me on the head."
Vizette thought of "A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration," smiled and nodded, "I was just thinking that Mr. Ollivander said the same thing to me."
"Alright! Don't think too much about it!" Dumbledore patted Vizette on the shoulder and took out two sherbet lemons.
He handed one to Vizette, then opened the packaging and ate one himself.
"The reason I'm telling you all this is because your eyes are very special, so I thought of something that would suit you perfectly..."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a notebook that showed signs of wear.
There's a special symbol on the notebook: ⃒⃘⃤: a circle inside a triangle, with a straight line pointing to the apex of the triangle and passing through the center of the circle.
Vizette took the notebook. Besides the logo, the cover had two signatures: Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.
He stroked the mark on the notebook and couldn't help but ask, "Is this Gellert Grindelwald's and your notebook?"
"Yes, it's my secret... I hope you can keep it for me." Dumbledore blinked and nodded generously.
Vizette coughed lightly to calm his somewhat turbulent emotions.
There is an extraordinary relationship between Grindelwald and Dumbledore;
This can be seen from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
But Vizette didn't expect that the two of them had actually shared a notebook and probably even conducted some kind of magical research.
Dumbledore looked at the notebook, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Grindelwald's eyes are amazing. Although they can't compare to the Magic Eye, they are still a rare talent."
"He possesses a pair of third eyes, so he is a true prophet… He can even accurately foresee the actions that opposing wizards are about to take through his third eye."
"Headmaster Dumbledore, can I understand it this way?" Vizette felt his breathing quicken slightly. "This notebook can help me develop the ability of the Magic Eye?"
"It's not so much 'helping with development' as Dumbledore said, shaking his head slightly. "I just think of it as a reference book. After all, the Eye of Magic is much rarer."
"During that time, Grindelwald and I were a bit crazy, completely obsessed with developing the ability of 'Heavenly Eye', and we summarized a lot of related theoretical knowledge."
"We've recorded all the relevant theoretical knowledge in it." He patted the notebook. "Including some traces of related magic, I've preserved them all very well."
"Isn't it too precious?" Vizette asked with some concern. "And the name on it... how should I hide it?"
"Good boy!" Dumbledore said gently, "I will give you some extra protection…"
He took back the notebook, pulled out his wand, and gestured back and forth as if writing something.
A moment later, he closed the notebook and handed it back to Vizette.
The moment Vizette touched the notebook, a warm sensation spread through his palm, and the notebook was enveloped in a soft glow…
