Tiera finally accepted the duel invitation, which made Hermione a little unhappy, but she had to look at Tiera with worry.
"Okay, now you..." Flitwick stood in the middle of the open space, preparing to teach the two young wizards the beneficial moves of a wizard duel.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Tiera, who had just walked out of the crowd, raising her wand.
"Everyone is petrified!" A ray of white light hit Malfoy, and Malfoy immediately fell to the ground in a daze.
"Hey! The Tiera duel hasn't started yet!" Flitwick shouted in a high-pitched voice.
This kind of duel without wizard etiquette seemed to him informal.
Petrify everything is a spell that Tiera learned to master after arriving at Hogwarts.
This spell was originally supposed to be among the elementary spells in the third-year curriculum.
Tiera, who has studied magic theory for five years, has accumulated enough knowledge, but lacks skills and basic knowledge.
This was easily solved after attending Hogwarts. After every Charms class, he was the last to leave, holding the "Basic Charms Tutorial III" borrowed from the library to ask Professor Flitwick. Wen Xi frantically made up for his shortcomings in spell casting skills and some mistakes in basic knowledge.
All teachers like studious children. Even if the child asked about knowledge that far exceeded the limit of their exposure, Professor Flitwick still enthusiastically answered the questions.
But Flitwick would not protect anyone who broke the rules of wizard duels, even if he was just a young wizard who had just entered school.
"What are you looking at? Tiera, you should know that wizard duels must wait for the referee, that is, you can start attacking each other after I count down three times!" Flitwick had successfully lifted Draco's petrification, and was angry Said irritably.
"Except you..."
"All petrified!"
Draco, who was accidentally knocked down, was obviously unwilling to accept it. After getting up from the ground, he ignored the pain on his buttocks. As soon as he used his wand, he wanted to shoot Tiera with Expelliarmus.
However, Tiera, who was always paying attention to him, reacted in advance and was hit by a second attack that turned them all to stone. Once again, they were as stiff as a corpse and fell back to the ground.
Scored twice.
There was nothing Flitwick could do now.
Not only Flitwick, but also McGonagall and Snape were surprised.
The duel ended anticlimactically.
Although Flitwick did not declare Tiera's victory, in the hearts of Gryffindor's little wizards, Tiera had won.
Almost all the little wizards gathered around Tiera, all talking congratulations.
Only Hermione looked a little unhappy, standing at the outermost part of the crowd absentmindedly.
Hermione felt that she had been left behind a lot, but at the same time, a competitive spirit ignited.
"That's great, Tiera!" Ron congratulated.
"Awesome!" Harry took the opportunity to rub Tiera's soft hair. He had wanted to rub it for a long time. Tiera seemed to have a mysophobia and bathed every day, so Tiera always had a light smell of soap on her body. The water has a refreshing fragrance, and her hair is always soft. Because she hasn't cut it for a long time, Tiera's hair exudes a silky luster.
Tiera was not very used to this kind of crowd-pleased enthusiasm, especially the unstinting praise from these little wizards, which made him a little embarrassed. He was a little awkward in dealing with it, and he was not at all as comfortable as he had been in the flying lesson when he had moved the whole audience.
Tiera, who was squeezed between the furry heads of many little wizards, seemed to feel that Snape looked at her deeply, then waved his robe and left the table.
Snape left the banquet hall and did not return to his office in the basement. Instead, he came to a huge, ugly gargoyle on the third floor.
"Honey grapefruit tea!" Snape spit out a word that had no magic at all.
The huge gargoyle nodded very humanely, and then turned, revealing the spiral staircase behind him.
…
After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic little wizard, Tiera finally arrived at the library on the fifth floor.
There, the little witch Hermione had already arrived, reading a thick book carefully.
Her shaggy, broom-like hair stood out among a group of senior students.
Tiera did not disturb her, quietly walked around Hermione, came to her accustomed seat by the window, and spread out the "Introduction to Alchemy" that he had borrowed for more than a month.
He had returned "Principles of Magic Potions" last week and replaced it with "Principles of Magic" which even graduates would not borrow.
When Tiera borrowed this book, Mrs. Pince looked at him strangely several times.
I don't know what happened to Snape today. He was forced to have a duel with Malfoy, which wasted more than ten minutes of his study time.
It has been more than a month since she enrolled in school. The more she studies, the more Tiera feels the vastness and chaos of magic knowledge.
Tiera's library on an alien planet, whether it's the "Necronomicon", "R'lyeh Text" or other ancient books that Tiera can now refer to, all the magic on it, although there are differences in descriptions, But they are all based on the magic three-dimensional theory.
But none of the books Tiera saw in the Hogwarts library contained any knowledge related to magical three-dimensional theory.
The "Necronomicon" and Merlin's notes attribute the source of magic to the spiritual dimension, while books such as Hogwarts' "Principles of Magic" attribute the source of magic to the power of blood.
These books believe that magic is the power of thinking, and that wizards can adapt to magic because their special body structure allows them to influence this power of thinking into the real world.
In other words, the power of magic comes from the soul, and only wizards have such souls. This is what Tiera calls the theory of magical souls.
The magic tutorials at Hogwarts attribute all the power of magic to the soul, and in their view, the soul is also a material like the body.
Tiera first discovered the difference between what she learned and what was taught at Hogwarts in this "Introduction to Alchemy".
According to the records in the "Necronomicon" and Merlin's notes, the so-called alchemy is to perfectly integrate the three dimensions of spiritual dimension, material dimension and spiritual dimension, and then reach the "origin" of the three dimensions - the Philosopher's Stone. .
As long as there is a slight overlap between the three dimensions, it can be called an alchemical item, and the perfect fusion of the three dimensions can be called the Philosopher's Stone.
Very different from the one in Hogwarts' Introduction to Alchemy.
According to the description in "Introduction to Alchemy", if you want to refine alchemical items, you need to inject a magical soul into a special magical material - most of the time it is a magical creature, and the early exploration of alchemy was With the wizard's soul.
Therefore, the early development of alchemy was often accompanied by blood and cruelty.
But obviously, extracting the soul alone is not an easy task.
And "Introduction to Alchemy" talks about the method of separating the soul individually and completely.
Of course, the whole process is also full of blood and brutality.
It wasn't until a genius wizard and a veteran alchemist jointly discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood that the door to modern alchemy was opened.
