Connor's Hogwarts

Harry received a broomstick [Star Dream]. Not many people knew about it originally, but after the fact that he became Gryffindor's seeker was published in the school newspaper, everyone knew about it. , and this incident was also published in the newspaper

"[The boy who got up early to run] - Harry Potter!"

Harry has a new nickname.

Because after that day, Harry would get up early and go for a morning run every day. This kind of confusing behavior was simply a breath of fresh air among wizards!

A wizard on a morning jog? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I’m laughing so hard, it’s 1991, and there are still wizards who can exercise?

Wizards rarely get sick, and even if they do, there are many strange spells that can cure you. Therefore, wizards generally don't pay much attention to physical exercise. After all, even if you want to change your body, it is very simple to do this.

As for running in the morning to exercise? It’s just useless work! How boring do you have to be to do something like this?

The little wizards didn't understand Harry's behavior very much, and there were many people who joked with him about it, but Harry didn't care much about it. Since Gandalf showed him how to chop down a big tree with his bare hands, Harry's desire to practice martial arts could not be extinguished.

Let me explain it here.

One thing that is undeniable is that modern wizards are developing in the direction of "high efficiency and low consumption". The history of the development of magic is the process of continuous simplification of spells.

For example, you have to ask whether a wizard can achieve the effect of Gandalf's hammer? The answer is definitely yes, the simplest and crudest method - using a large amount of magic power to concentrate and impact, can achieve the same effect.

But this kind of behavior is very stupid in the eyes of wizards. It can be done by a simple stun spell, but you have to spend most of your magic power just to hammer it? Isn't this stupid?

It's like a matter that can be solved with one bullet, but if you insist on blasting it with a big fanfare, isn't that unhealthy?

So the wizard's idea is: no matter how you exercise, it will be solved by a stun spell anyway, so what's the use of a hammer for you to exercise?

It is precisely because wizards attach great importance to efficiency and cost-effectiveness that wizards abandoned the evolutionary route of "melee mage" very early.

No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of bullets.

In a sense, a wizard's instant spell is no different from a pistol. But a pistol is definitely not as easy to use as a magic wand. Of course, the same cannot be said for a machine gun (funny)…

However, does exercising have to be useless? Of course not, a sharpshooter who knows martial arts is definitely better than an average gunner.

Therefore, how to use the spell ultimately depends on the person.

but…

There is no need to worry about this problem with Connor's magic painting.

The magic painting, which can switch between reality and reality and freely control the "body", is the most powerful assassin and a true melee mage. If you don't have a way to target it, it is basically like a bug, so Dumbledore is very interested in the magic painting.

Then today, Dumbledore approached Connor again.

"Professor, why did you call me here again? It's only been a few days? Can you give me a holiday? Don't give me any more weird tasks." Connor said dissatisfied, lying lazily on the chair , obviously he has a lot of things to do, so he doesn’t want to worry about Harry or anything else, just let him go, it won’t grow crooked anyway.

"I'm not going to give you any extra tasks this time. Don't be so sullen. Come here, kid. I have something for you to see." Dumbledore smiled, not caring about Connor's "decadent" performance. He pushed an ancient-looking piece of parchment on the table toward Connor.

Connor cheered up and approached the table. He saw something like a magic circle drawn on the parchment, but he couldn't tell what magic pattern it was: "What is this?"

"This is one of the few ancient magic scrolls in existence." Dumbledore replied.

"Ah? Magic scroll?" Connor was stunned. Is there such a thing in this world?

"Well, because it is difficult to make and not very practical, this is a kind of magic technology that has been lost." Dumbledore touched the parchment on the table and said: "There is a powerful fire element magic recorded on it, but it has been It’s damaged, and I can only roughly tell that it’s a type of elemental magic.”

"..." Connor tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Why is this technology lost? As for the magic scroll, it is a technology that can cast magic instantly, right? Isn't that supposed to be quite useful?"

"I said, it's difficult to make. Through research and comparison in the past few days, I found that the magic scroll has many similarities with your painting magic. This means that if you want to make a magic scroll, you must have extremely high magic control. "Power, not everyone can have it, and" Dumbledore stroked his long beard and said:

"Magic scrolls are mainly used to make magic that is highly destructive, takes a long time to cast, and consumes a lot of magic power. In ancient times, wizards used magic scrolls to deal with powerful magical creatures such as dragons, but in today's world Gradually being controlled by humans, the usefulness of magic scrolls has become less and less. About seven or eight hundred years ago, the technology of making magic scrolls was lost."

Connor thought thoughtfully: "Indeed. Today's magic is simple and efficient, and there is no need to use magic scrolls."

"However, after my research and observation, it is possible that your painting magic can restore this technique, which is why I asked you to come here." Dumbledore said with a smile: "If we can bring the magic scroll back to the world, it will be very important to the wizarding world. It is also a blessing, this is a contribution that can win the Order of Merlin, are you interested in participating?"

"Eh? Can you get the Order of Merlin for something like this?"

"Of course, if we can really reproduce the magic scroll and make this technology public, I estimate that we can probably get a third-level medal, and a second-level medal is not impossible." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Connor thought about it and felt relieved. Even a bluffing guy like Lockhart could get the Merlin Order of Merlin, which was a lot of water.

Dumbledore has already received a first-class medal. He does not need this kind of thing. The main reason is to support himself as a "disciple". Thinking of this, Connor nodded and said:

"Okay, this is interesting. I'm participating, so what can I do?"

"I have designed several sets of magic patterns with different magic circuits. Can you try to draw these magic patterns on a flat surface? We need to deduce the key [instant] magic pattern circuit of the magic scroll through continuous experiments. For Yes, there is also the magic pattern circuit with magic locking effect. If it can be successful, maybe your magic painting can also store magic power for a long time."

Dumbledore paused and then said: "Several professors will be involved in this magic experiment. This is a big project, and it can't be done by just the two of us."

Well, Connor was recalling his previous experience of working with his mentor on scientific research results. Is this the magic version of the academic circle? Connor spent three years at Hogwarts and finally felt a bit of the "academic atmosphere" here.

"Okay, I understand." Connor is quite interested in this. Being able to participate in the process of creating magic from scratch will definitely greatly improve his abilities.

"Well, then you try these magic patterns here first, and I will record the test data." Dumbledore raised his wand and drew several magic patterns that Connor was familiar with in the air while explaining to Connor. With.

Then when Connor had just drawn half of the magic pattern, the magic suddenly became restless. Dumbledore waved his wand immediately, and the drawing paper in Connor's hand disappeared instantly. Connor even saw the brilliant explosion when the drawing paper disappeared. light.

"." The one just now exploded! ? Is testing this magic pattern so dangerous? Cold sweat broke out on Connor's back, and he suddenly regretted it.

"It seems that this design has failed." Dumbledore murmured to himself, then he shook his head and said: "Then these are useless... Let's stop here for today, Connor, and we will do it every week from now on. Go to the classroom on the far left of the fifth floor on the afternoon of tomorrow, where we will test magic, and Professor Flitwick and Professor Barbling will participate."

Just like that, Connor had one more thing to be busy with.
