The realization that his experimental approach to spellcraft might benefit from a more structured, theoretical foundation was a revelation to Harry. Until now, his methods had been instinctual, guided by intuition rather than rigorous study. Selena's work, with its precise calculations and deep theoretical underpinnings, offered a glimpse into a whole new realm of possibilities.

"Nigel, I've been so focused on the practical side of things, I've neglected the theoretical aspect. There's so much more to explore, to understand. I've been like a Muggle trying to invent a lightbulb without understanding electricity," Harry thought, a mix of excitement and resolve taking hold.

Nigel couldn't resist commenting on Harry's sudden burst of insight. "Master Harry, discovering the joys of academic rigor, are we? Let's just hope this newfound appreciation for theory doesn't mean you'll be burying your nose in textbooks and neglecting your practical experiments. The world isn't ready for a purely theoretical Harry Potter."

Harry rolled his eyes at Nigel's remark, even as he acknowledged the truth in it. "Don't worry, Nigel. I'll find the balance. But imagine the possibilities if I can combine my instinctual approach with a solid theoretical foundation. It's like having a map and a lantern in that dark cave."

After his conversation with Selena, Harry returned to his room, his mind abuzz with new possibilities and ideas. As he lay on his bed, he couldn't help but reflect on the depth of understanding Selena had for her subject. It dawned on him that, although he had dabbled in Arithmancy through various books, he had never considered its application in such a detailed manner, especially not in relation to the sounds made by magical creatures. "I need to start approaching this more methodically," he thought, a resolve firming within him. "Though Arithmancy is usually a third-year subject, I can't afford to wait that long. There's so much more to explore."

His interaction with the magical creatures and their unique languages had opened a new realm of magic to Harry, but his attempts had been based more on intuition than on any structured approach. "Just like those conversations with the creatures," he mused, "I can develop a system to break down their sounds into a more systematic structure." He realized that understanding the theoretical underpinnings of magic, especially through the lens of Arithmancy, could provide a structured framework to explore and harness the magic more effectively.

Harry then began to mull over a thought that had been tickling the back of his mind. "I used to scoff at Onomancy, considering it nothing more than a fancy form of divination. But what if it's not as far-fetched as I thought?" Nigel, seizing the opportunity for a jest, replied, "Oh, are we venturing into the realm of destiny and fate now, Master Harry? Planning to find out if your name was, indeed, written in the stars?"

Harry couldn't help but roll his eyes at Nigel's sarcasm. "It's more than that, Nigel. Think about it – names carry power, much like the words used in spells. Isn't there a possibility that there's a science to it, similar to Arithmancy?" His question hung in the air, a challenge to the traditional understanding of magic and its foundations.

Nigel, ever ready with a witty comeback, retorted, "Ah, so we're delving into the mystical significance of 'Harry James Potter', are we? Next, you'll be telling me your initials spell out some ancient rune of power. I eagerly await your treatise on the subject."

Despite Nigel's teasing, Harry's thoughts were in earnest. The connection between names and magic was well-documented, with spells themselves being a prime example. The right word, spoken in the right way, could unleash vast energies and alter reality. If names had even a fraction of this power, understanding their structure and influence could open up new avenues of magical research.
