Since Amy was once an Auror, she had much more to offer beyond Apparition. Many other spells could also be learned from her—for instance, the Patronus Charm, widely considered the most powerful defensive spell.

With Dementors looming in the next term, George thought it would be a good idea to master the Patronus Charm, even though he believed his holy light-based magic could probably harm Dementors. However, it hadn't been tested yet.

The Patronus Charm earned its title as the strongest defensive spell because it could not only repel standard magical attacks but also defend against mental assaults. More importantly, it was particularly effective against dark creatures like Dementors and Lethifolds.

Additionally, the Patronus could serve as a swift messenger between wizards and even had some physical offensive capabilities.

George had read in a magical history book about a wizard named Andros the Invincible from ancient Greece, who had summoned a giant as his Patronus. With this powerful Patronus, Andros became the most formidable wizard of his era, earning the nickname "Invincible Andros."

His achievements were even featured on Chocolate Frog cards, where George had first learned about him.

However, the Patronus Charm was far more advanced than Apparition. Few wizards in the magical world could master the charm, and even fewer could conjure a corporeal Patronus.

"That sounds fantastic! Anytime you want to learn a spell, just come to me! As long as I know it, I'll teach you everything I can!"

Relieved to hear that George wouldn't shortchange her, Amy enthusiastically patted her chest in assurance.

At that moment, the door swung open, and a witch with long brown hair and warm hazel eyes stepped inside, carrying a bag of French baguettes. Her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Sophie Marceau.

"Oh, my dear Lina, you're back from work!"

Amy hurried over to take the bread from her and hugged the brown-haired witch.

After letting go of Amy, the witch named Lina grumbled, "I told you already—stop running that magic crash course. You know I can support you. Why don't you just stay here and live with me?"

"Ahem, Lina, let's talk about that tonight," Amy interrupted hastily before introducing George.

"This is my student I mentioned. His name is George.

And George, this is Lina."

"Hello, Miss Lina," George greeted with a polite nod and a warm smile.

Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that Amy and Lina's relationship wasn't just a normal friendship. Perhaps he was overthinking it.

Lina walked over to George, bent slightly to examine him, and greeted him gently, "Hello, George. What an adorable young man you are! I wish I had a child like you."

"Alright, it's about time we ate. Lina, did you bring wine?"

Amy rummaged through the large bag Lina had brought, her face lighting up as she pulled out two bottles of sherry.

"You always know me best!"

Dinner consisted of roasted lamb leg, cheese, bread, and sherry that Lina had brought home. After the meal, George ignored the two women, who were tipsily chatting away, and stepped out to stroll down the magical streets.

He planned to visit every bookstore on France's magical street to see if he could find any useful magical texts.

"There really are quite a few Beauxbatons students here," George remarked to himself.

As he walked, he noticed many young wizards dressed in Beauxbatons Academy uniforms, recently released for the holiday, also wandering around the magical street.

After exploring the entire street, George finally entered the largest bookstore there.

The store had an impressive collection of books, but George found very few that were actually useful—most of them he had already read.

Hogwarts' library, combined with the bookstores in Diagon Alley, covered about 70–80% of the magical texts in this world.

"Legends of Ancient Magic."

After browsing for over an hour, George finally found a book that piqued his interest.

It wasn't a spellbook, nor was it a text on magical theory. Instead, it resembled a book of magical folklore, a collection of stories from magical history. But its mentions of ancient magic caught George's attention.

According to legends, in the era of the legendary wizard Merlin—or even before his time—magic wielded by wizards was incredibly powerful. It is said that such magic could move mountains, fill seas, or even summon meteors.

However, casting a single spell often required ten to twenty minutes of incantations, which gradually led to its decline. Especially with the invention of quick and effective modern spells, such as the Disarming Charm and the Stunning Spell, ancient magic fell out of favor.

Still, one cannot deny that ancient magic surpassed modern magic in certain aspects.

For example, it is rumored that the first magical school, Hogwarts, incorporated many ancient magical techniques during its construction. Even today, no other school can compare to Hogwarts' unique magical properties: its complete rejection of technological devices, its unplottable location, its large-scale Apparition barriers, and the countless magical mysteries within its walls, many of which remain unsolved to this day.

"I wonder if these ancient magic legends are true?"

After adding Legends of Ancient Magic to his purchase list, George couldn't help but ponder.

He believed ancient magic might truly exist. For example, Lily's "love" magic, which had rebounded Voldemort's Killing Curse off Harry, could very well be a form of ancient magic. Another example could be the curse Voldemort placed on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position, which prevented anyone from holding the job for more than a year.

Of course, these were merely his speculations, as no credible magical history text mentioned ancient magic explicitly.

Still, George thought that if ancient magic did exist, it would be worth learning. While it might lack the speed and efficiency of modern magic in one-on-one duels, its power was undoubtedly far greater.

After all, not every battle is a direct, fair fight. For ambushes or surprise attacks, ancient magic seemed far more practical than modern magic.

When George left the bookstore, it was nearly 9 p.m., but the bustling crowd on the magical street had barely thinned.

Unlike Diagon Alley, where most people would have already gone home by this hour, and shopkeepers would have closed their stores due to the lack of customers, this magical street was different. Many wizards lived here, and after dinner, they liked to stroll around, making the street even livelier than during the day.

Street vendors selling magical cotton candy, magical firecrackers, and performers showcasing their spells were scattered throughout the area.

It felt just like the night markets of his previous life—except it was a magical version of a night market.

After browsing through the vibrant streets for a while, George finally returned to Amy's friend's house at around 10 p.m.

However, the moment he stepped inside, he froze.

"What...?"

"Oh, yes!"

The voices of Amy and Lina drifted out from the master bedroom, making the corners of his mouth twitch.

While the house had decent soundproofing, George's enhanced physique granted him superior hearing, allowing him to pick up on some of the noises from the master bedroom.

"French wizards really are just as... liberal as French Muggles in these matters."

With a resigned sigh, he quietly returned to his small bedroom.

Suddenly, everything made sense.

No wonder he had felt that there was something ambiguous between Amy and Lina. Both of them were quite attractive, yet they were still single at their age.

It was reasonable. Everything was reasonable now.
