It was fortunate that the staff had a couple of days free before classes started again, as likely few would have been able to concentrate on teaching.
McGonagall, Flitwick, and Vector (the Arithmancy Professor) were sitting at the Three Broomsticks, a tavern at nearby Hogsmeade, discussing bits and pieces of the essay.
"I'm surprised that none of them have developed more in the way of Transfiguration." McGonagall commented.
"Well, he did comment that a lot of magical knowledge was lost. After all, there are some magics that we have yet to rediscover from back before the founding of Hogwarts." Flitwick commented.
Flitwick, a former dueling champion, was very interested in many of the spells that Harry had mentioned. The Shadow Snap, for one, though it apparently required a sword or knife to be effective.
"I just wish I could get these equations to balance out." Vector muttered. Arithmancy was the Wizarding World's study of physics and higher mathematics, and Vector was trying to figure out an equation based off of the magical information Harry had provided.
"Probably because he mentions three different sources for magic; the elements and Astral Plane, demons, and ... what was it he said empowered White Magic?" McGonagall muttered.
"World's lifeforce I believe." Flitwick supplied.
"Hmm, I wonder if we could possibly do something similar with our own magics. Find a way to power them with external sources." Flitwick mused. "It might help us, if we ever have to deal with another troll, or even a dragon. That way we wouldn't need multiple wizards."
"Though, I'm afraid that any such discovery would be too easily abused." McGonagall fretted.
Flitwick shrugged. "As the saying goes, the Djinn is out of the bottle, we just have to make the best of it." He then grinned. "Now then, how about we head back to Hogwarts? Maybe we can convince Mr Inverse to clarify a few points."
