Time flies so fast, three weeks pass, and October arrives unknowingly.
In addition to their intensive classes, Draco and Harry also need to start training hard for the upcoming Quidditch match.
Perhaps because of the high-grade nutritional supplements he had taken at birth, Little Yingya grew very fast, and his body size is not much different from that of a puppy. His body has also grown beautiful hair that shines silvery white, with a unique Her emerald green eyes are simply adorable.
During breakfast time, when Xie Lin took it to the auditorium, the appearance of Xie Lin and Little Silver Ya attracted the attention of almost all the students in the four colleges. Their eyes were mixed with various emotions of envy, hatred, admiration, etc. Several The daring girl even summoned up the courage to strike up a conversation with Xie Lin and wanted to ask where she could buy this silver wolf pet.
Ron stared straight at Little Silver Fang, then looked down at Spots, whose fur was mottled and one of his fingers was missing. He couldn't help but feel a feeling of jealousy in his heart, and muttered, "What's the big deal? It's just a pet." .”
Hermione heard Ron's words and retorted directly: "That's a pet wolf. I dare say that in the history of Hogwarts, no student has ever brought a little wolf as a pet. What's more, I have never seen a coat with such a color. A beautiful silver wolf breed. I can only say that he is truly a popular figure in Hogwarts. Even his pets are so unique."
For some reason, Ron lost his temper with Hermione because of this and got up and left without even finishing breakfast. The Weasley twins comforted Hermione and said, "Don't pay attention to Ron, we also think it's really cool to have a little wolf as a pet."
Almost all the Gryffindors present, both male and female, nodded in agreement with the Weasley twins.
There is usually a plot in novels where a senior student, relying on his strength, wants to forcefully purchase the protagonist's pet at a price, and then is slapped in the face by pretending to do so. But unfortunately, this did not happen to the protagonist in this novel. After all, Xie Lin's family background and strength are there, and few senior students can guarantee that they can defeat Xie Lin, not to mention offending the Malfoy family is no joke.
Xie Lin saw that Little Silver Ya was getting stronger and no longer needed his meticulous care, so he began to prepare for the Patronus Charm exchange meeting.
After some discussions with Cedric, Penelo, and Percy, the dates of the Patronus Charm exchange meetings appeared on the bulletin boards of each major college.
The event was scheduled for the evening of October 16th two weeks later. Since Schelling could not predict the number of people attending, he specifically applied to the school to borrow an empty classroom that had been enlarged by the Traceless Stretch Charm. There was enough space inside. Accommodates 100 people.
There are still two weeks until the exchange meeting is held. In addition to normal classes and homework, Xie Lin will also take time to walk around with Little Silver Teeth, study Professor Flitwick's dueling notes, study "A Thousand Changes of Magic", and study Snape's Junior Potions Notes.
Professor Flitwick's dueling notes contain many dueling techniques, such as how to use the least amount of magic power to release a spell with just the right effect. For example, if the opponent is hiding behind a stone, instead of using the explosion spell to blow the stone into pieces, it is better to use the transfiguration spell to move the stone away. For another example, when the opponent releases a fire spell, instead of using a water creation spell to extinguish the fire, it is better to cast a water and fire invulnerability spell on yourself to save mana.
These optimized ways to respond to different attacks are all experiences gained from actual combat, which are very valuable to Schelling who lacks actual combat experience. Of course, it is only a relative term to say that Schelling lacks actual combat experience - in the past two semesters, Schelling has encountered trolls, basilisks, Gallup, Harry, and Merlin. Xie Lin has fought against these five opponents. Among the more than 500 students at Hogwarts, Lin is actually the one with the most practical experience.
The theory of transformation in "A Thousand Changes and Thousands of Illusions" is slightly different from the local European transformation techniques. European transformation techniques emphasize the understanding and transformation of matter, and it is a rigorous discipline similar to physics and chemistry. But in the faraway Eastern countries, the art of transformation emphasizes creativity, focusing on the meaning rather than the shape. The transformation process should be done as you please, with smooth flow and freedom. Yes, the disadvantages of this are obvious. Once an error occurs during the deformation process, it may have serious consequences. But—for an experienced and skilled master of shapeshifting—the process goes wrong? nonexistent. If we can reach the point described in the book in the end, we will be able to say that we will be ingenious, flexible and unpredictable.
Compared with these two books, Snape's Potions Notes have nothing worth mentioning. There are indeed many improvements to the potion steps in it, and it is indeed very precious information, but it cannot give Xie Lin an amazing feeling of "opening the door to a new world."
Schelling did not intend to keep this notebook privately. He used a copying spell to make a copy for each of his classmates in Slytherin, including Goyle, Crabbe, and Millicent Boss, who had little communication with him. Virtue is no exception. Coming from a pure-blood family, they were well-informed and well aware of the preciousness of notes, so Xie Lin effortlessly received their grateful looks.
In addition, Schelling also did not put aside his core plan of exploring Hogwarts and improving magic.
After successfully improving the levitating spell, fluorescent spell, loudspeaker spell, and fire spell, this time he focused on the water-making spell. The water-making spell is a spell that allows the caster to spray a stream of clean, drinkable water from the tip of the wand. It is generally used to obtain drinking water in the wild, or to extinguish fires. But in the original book, "Prince of Explosions" Seamus Finigan used it to create the effect of a high-pressure water cannon in the Charms class, knocking away the unsuspecting Professor Flitwick. Obviously, the water pressure sprayed by the water-making spell can be adjusted by improving the spell.
What worries Xie Lin even more is whether the so-called water-making spell can only create the purest water? Or can the thickness and pH of water actually be adjusted through magic improvements? According to this idea, once the improvement is successful, the water-making spell that can release strong acidic water will not add a "corrosive" characteristic to the spell? And the water-making spell that can release viscous water has a "sticky" characteristic? There may even be many other changes that Schelling cannot imagine for the time being, which shows how huge the potential of the water-making spell is.
This is not just Schelling's unrealistic imagination. He remembers that in the original book's sixth-grade spells class, there was a spell about liquid conversion, which turned vinegar back into wine. Note that this is not a transfiguration, but a change caused by the curse itself. To explain it using Muggle chemical principles, the curse reverses the oxidation process of the vinegar. It can be seen that the magic spell does have the ability to exert chemical changes on liquids.
Xie Lin had already explored the Room of Requirement and the Forbidden Forest, and the next target location he planned to explore was the secret passage on the fifth floor that Dobby had cleaned and repaired during the summer vacation.
The secret passage on the fifth floor is hidden behind a large mirror. This large round mirror is as tall as an adult. As long as you recite the spell "Secret Mirror Appearance" in front of the mirror, the mirror image in the mirror will reveal a line. Deep path. Schelling reached out and touched the mirror, and found that his hand went directly through the other side of the mirror, just like the feeling of passing through the wall of platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross station.
Although he knew that the secret passage was unlikely to be dangerous in any way. After all, the Weasley twins in the lower grades in the original book had used it many times, and Dobby was responsible for cleaning and repairing it not long ago, Xie Lin still cautiously put on the Evening Star Cloak and held it tightly. The wand entered the path of the mirror world.
Xie Lin muttered in a low voice: "Luminescent!" The end of the lit wand illuminated the entire tunnel. Its slope was not steep, and it was easy to go up and down, but there was no end in sight. The tunnel did not go straight down. There were many turns along the way. Xie Lin estimated that he walked for about half an hour before he reached a large cave space.
It was deserted here, except for four stone walls and only two tunnel entrances (one of which was the entrance where Schelling came in). Traces of magic repairs can be seen on the stone walls not long ago. It is not difficult to imagine that before being repaired, these four stone walls must have been covered with a large number of cracks, which is why they were crushed under the years of snow.
These traces of magical repair should be Dobby's handiwork, but a strikingly long and thin crack suddenly appeared on one of the stone walls. This was strange. Judging from the house elves' dedication to cleaning and trimming tasks, it was unlikely that such an obvious omission would be left. Xie Lin then tried to cast a repair spell on the crack, but it had no effect at all - something was indeed strange!
Xie Lin opened his magic eyes and saw magic fluctuations in the cracks. However, this magic fluctuations were not the usual hazy white, but rather a spooky dark green. It did not look like the handiwork of a wizard, but instead It's more like the magic traces left by creatures like elves or goblins. Since Dobby's magic can't have an effect on it, Schelling is more inclined to guess that this cave space is related to goblins.
Although goblins regard the unique magic of their own race as their own life, it does not mean that all wizards know nothing about it. One of the books that Schelling collected from his grandmother Druella's house contains information about goblin magic. The record was written by a cruel ancestor of the Lestrange family. This ancestor was obsessed with studying magic. He had kidnapped many people in order to study the different magic systems of wizards, goblins, and elves. Goblins, tortured them with various cruel magics, and learned a little bit of the secrets of the magic used by goblins and elves.
Although this book cannot be said to truly analyze the field of magic systems of fairies and elves, it is qualified as a superficial basic enlightenment. Although Xie Lin cannot cast fairy magic, this does not prevent him from understanding the traces of magic on this crack. What's more, with the magic eye, the magic fluctuations on the crack are clear to Xie Lin.
Schelling decided to try an ancient and rare magic. He first used a cutting spell to carve a complicated magic circle on the stone wall around the crack. Then he stood three feet away and pointed his wand at the magic circle and shouted: "Magic Divide all phenomena into one!"
There was a warmth in the hand of the Thestral wand, and the magic power in Xie Lin's body flowed into the wand like water bursting from a dam. The tip of the wand emitted a white halo, like ripples in the water, in circles. Spreading outward - this happened only when Schelling held the wand for the first time. The magic circle seemed to come alive, emitting waves of magic power. A mysterious Guruni magic talisman suddenly appeared on the stone wall - Schelling recognized this talisman as "Kaunaz", which represents "Holy Fire" or "Light" "the meaning of.
Although Schelling has read in many historical documents that words can be magical, and he also knows that every ancient rune magic talisman was used to cast spells in the Middle Ages, but being able to witness with one's own eyes the power of a magic talisman. The magic power still opened Xie Lin's eyes - at this moment, the Guruni magic talisman broke away from the stone wall, floated in mid-air, exuded a fiery breath, and finally turned into a red-gold fire and disappeared without a trace.
What Xie Lin didn't know was that the moment the firelight disappeared, his eyes suddenly reflected the exact same firelight, and then slowly disappeared from his eyes as if it was diluted.
"Is this the legendary Guruni magic?" Xie Lin murmured to himself, "This flame seems to be different from the fire spell in modern magic... In addition to light and heat, there seems to be something similar Traces of soul magic, I seem to feel the passion and desire for knowledge in the flame. No, no, it should be the guidance and inheritance of knowledge..."
(Note: "Kaunaz" represents "holy fire", "passion for knowledge", and "emphasis on inheritance" which the author obtained by consulting the Muggle Guruni Dictionary and is not made up by the author)
Looking at the crack again, the magic power fluctuations were no longer there. Xie Lin used a repair spell to close it. Continuing to walk forward through this cave space, it finally leads to an empty shop in Hogsmeade Village. It has been abandoned for a long time, full of dust and cobwebs, and you can even smell a heavy musty smell.
Looking out of a window of an empty shop, one can see an old bar with an eye-catching boar's head hanging on the sign at the door. Obviously, this shop is not located on the main commercial street of the village, but on the main commercial street of the village. It's on the same remote side street as the Pig's Head Bar, so no wonder it can't be rented out.
Xie Lin didn't want to be caught wandering around Hogsmeade, so he turned around and got into the tunnel, returning the way he came, ending today's adventure.
On the surface, this adventure may not have gained much for Xie Lin. In fact, it opened another door for Xie Lin in magic theory. Witnessing Guruni magic with his own eyes not only increased his knowledge, but also enlightened Xie Lin. I plan to try out various ideas for casting spells using the Guruni Talisman, which I am still relatively proficient in.
