Ted has been unsociable these days, and his friends naturally found out.
Especially Hermione, she found that Ted often practiced magic by himself in abandoned classrooms, and even in the library he was always studying things she couldn't understand... She was very worried, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.
Hermione: You are leaving yourself behind!
The big-hearted Gryffindor quartet also discovered something was wrong after four or five days - Ted was thinking about problems while eating, and was not as active as Ansu who was crazy about eating French fries.
"Is there something on his mind?" Ron asked.
"It's not like that, but he seems to be thinking about something!" Jerry said.
"Yeah!" Hermione nodded, "He said he was researching new magic!"
"New magic? Is it a prank curse?" Neville looked surprised.
Finally, Harley made the decision: "What are you guessing here? You might as well ask Ted directly! Listen, I have a plan..."
Everyone: "Forget it, forget it! Harley, forget it this time, no need, no need!"
The five of them had dinner that day. Ted finished his meal quickly, said hello and left, then winked at each other.
Ron quickly stuffed the chicken drumstick into his mouth, and Jerry stuffed the cheese into his lunch box as a midnight snack.
"Go, follow!"
Ted came to the door of the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor of the left tower and shouted to the empty corridor behind him: "Come out quickly and follow me. What are you thinking?"
"How did you find us?" Harley was very unwilling to fail in her raid plan.
Harley: My great plan~~~
Ted laughed and said, "The sound of your five footsteps added together makes the sound like beating a drum!"
"What's wrong? The dog is following me sneakily?"
Hermione stood up: "Ted! Are you, are you researching some dangerous magic?!"
Ted looked at Hermione and the others, who had serious faces with a hint of apprehension, and couldn't help but smile: "Hahaha! Thank you, thank you for your concern. Come in with me, and I will show you my results..."
Six people entered the door. Ted stretched out his wand and pointed at an old training dummy at the end of the classroom, "This is a freezing spell, freeze hold!"
A light blue magic spell flew out and hit the dummy six or seven meters away. The dummy was instantly covered with thin ice!
"Wow! Cool~" Jerry exclaimed.
Harley also clapped her hands vigorously: "Okay! Ted, are you hiding here just to practice this spell? This is great, give it to me, and I will use it against Malfoy next time!"
Poor Malfoy, Harry thought of him immediately~
Ted shook his head, "Not only this, but there are also many obstacles~"
Another reddish spell hit the dummy, but no one could see any effect.
"Is this a barrier charm?!" Hermione shouted.
"Yes, the movement will slow down after being hit, usually lasting about ten seconds." Ted said.
"I haven't fully learned the last Iron Armor spell, so I won't show it."
Ron said: "So, are you really practicing magic spells here? Or are you just learning magic spells in senior years?!"
He is so desperate!
Why are there so many struggling people in the world? Are you trying to force me to death? Don't come over here!
"No. I'm not practicing these spells here, but developing a new one!" Ted's words stunned the friends.
"New spell?!"
"Yes."
Although the invention of magic spells is nothing new in the magic world, outstanding wizards, or wizards by chance, can always discover some strange magic spells, and some of them will be passed down if they are valuable.
But suddenly, a friend who is the same age as me and has only been in school for more than a month said that he is developing a new magic spell. This feeling is different!
It's like there are so many Internet celebrities and anchors on the Internet, 100,000 fans are not worth mentioning, only one million fans are considered a person.
But if you find that the person next to you suddenly becomes a big anchor, it will feel completely different!
Now Hermione and Harry feel like this: Are you kidding me, just for fun? !
This time Ted did not point his wand at the riddled training dummy. Instead, he drew a very complicated pattern in front of him, and then said: "Frost~Body Protection~"
A shield made of ice suddenly appeared above Ted's head, and then disappeared.
The friends felt cold for a moment, just like wearing T-shirts when it snows.
"Hiss~" Ron crossed his arms and shivered, "What happened? Did you use magic just now?!"
Everyone looked at Ted, who began to "explain" his "newly invented" curse.
In his mouth, this is a new spell that combines the Freezing Curse, the Obstacle Curse and part of the Iron Armor Curse.
After blessing this spell, Ted had an invisible layer of protective ice all over his body.
The transparent ice layer suspended around the body can resist some low-level spells.
More importantly, it can defend against physical attacks, and the attacker will be slowed down by the ice!
This spell now lasts for 6 minutes.
"Punch me!" Ted said to Ron.
"Let me do it!" Gryffindor boxing champion Harley volunteered directly and punched Ted's smooth and fair face.
"Boom~" The punch was blocked by the ice shield, and Harley's arm was covered with a layer of frost.
"Ah! It's so cold! My arms are a little numb!" Her muscles contracted under the influence of the cold, and her whole body became sluggish.
"This is awesome! Teach me!" Harry suddenly became interested, and the eyes of the other friends also lit up.
"We have to wait... This magic is just a start-up, and it has not been completely successful yet."
"Not completely successful?"
"Yes, you saw it just now. I spent a long time waving the wand to draw, and the magic power consumption was very high. I have to continue to optimize..."
In terms of spells, Ted has done it after many attempts and optimizations.
The spell needs to describe the properties and form of the spell.
Frost is the attribute of the spell, and body protection is the form in which the spell is displayed.
But there was no progress on the wand trajectory.
He even plans to replace the wand trail with a hand gesture for spellcasting. This avoids this difficulty and can be used empty-handed.
The development of Frost Armor Curse inspired the friends' short-term enthusiasm for learning.
The amount of time they spent studying and practicing magic in the library increased significantly, but it only lasted a few days.
If you want to learn the frost armor spell, you must know the freezing spell and the obstacle spell, and the iron armor spell must also be involved.
The Freezing Curse is a second-year content, the Obstacle Curse is a third-year content, and the Iron Armor Curse is a fifth-year content. These prerequisites are really not low.
It took Ron and Jerry four days to learn the freezing spell, and then they gave up: "When you have fully developed it, you can teach us ~ we won't bother you~"
Harry and Hermione's learning progress is very fast. They have learned the freezing spell and the obstacle spell, and are studying the iron armor spell.
…
On this day, the Weasley twins suddenly and mysteriously found Ted who was having lunch, whispered something and then left.
Ron quickly came over and asked, "What did George and Freddie tell you? It was mysterious!"
Ron was unhappy that the twins always made fun of him instead of looking for his brother when something happened, so he was very concerned about the twins looking for Ted.
Ted said to his friends: "George and the others discovered something suspicious and asked me to come over and study it together."
When Harley heard about the suspicious things, her eyes lit up: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
"Don't worry, you'll have time to finish your meal."
Under the urging of the impatient Harry, everyone hurriedly finished their lunch and went to find the twins.
"This is it!" George led them to a remote corridor and pointed at the wall.
It was an oval half-length mirror with a silver-plated embossed frame. It was dusty and had not been wiped for a long time.
"A mirror?" Ron asked confused.
Fred hugged his shoulders and teased him: "My stupid brother~ Don't look with your eyes, look with your heart!"
After hearing this, Ted always felt as if Fred wanted to test his own strength with Ron.
Ted said: "Most magic cannot be seen with the eyes, but the keen sense can feel the existence of magic. Feel it carefully..."
Ted had previously discovered that Hermione's perception and control of magic was very good, which was why she learned magic so quickly because of her strong control.
She reached out and touched the surface of the mirror, "It does have magic power, and can't the dust be wiped off?!"
"Wow~" George exclaimed.
"Clever!" cried Fred.
The two of them also accidentally discovered that this mirror was unusual.
The decorations in the normal castle are all taken care of by elves, whether they are portraits or armor, they are all polished.
But this mirror is shrouded in a layer of "dust". This is very strange.
Ted sensed the flow of magic in it, which was a bit complicated and not the kind of magic he recognized.
My foundation is still shallow, and my mastery of magic is still too little. Unrecognizable.
He turned around and asked, "Can any of you know how to 'reveal your true colors'?"
"Won't!"
"It seems like fourth grade content?!"
"It seems that I have to learn the magic spell first..."
