Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

"Stephen, Professor Flitwick is looking for you. Rowan, you should come with us. You guys can make big news on your first day. It's really your fault." Chester blocked them just after class, not knowing that he How did you know about the points deduction so quickly?

"Although it is understandable that you were deducted twenty-five points by Professor Snape, I still want to remind you to pay attention to your words and deeds." Chester added and left in a hurry. He was still rushing to the next section. class.

Stephen and Rowan looked at each other.

"Stephen, there is nothing to worry about. Professor Flitwick is much more reasonable than Snape. He will understand us."

"I know, I thought maybe Professor Flitwick would add some extra points or something."

"It's very possible. But how did you provoke Merula? I heard that her parents are Death Eaters..."

"Oh, Rowan, it's obvious that she provoked me..."

The two came to Professor Flitwick's office, and Stephen knocked on the door. "Please come in."

"Mr. Tony, I didn't expect that I called you here today because of the deduction of points." Flitwick sat on a high chair. The table was filled with books and documents, and there were many books on the cabinet behind him. , and many trophies.

"Professor, I didn't expect that either." Stephen shrugged.

"I heard about you in Potions class. I think I have to praise your spell skills first. You must know that not every new student can master Transfiguration quickly." Flitwick looked at it with a smile. The two of them said, "Stephen, I also see another potential in you. You react quickly. You are also very kind. The first thing you think of is protecting not just yourself."

Flitwick paused: "So I think I should give you ten points for your excellent spell skills; because not only did you not hold a grudge against Miss Snyder, but you also extended a helping hand to her who was also in crisis. Twenty points.

Mr. Kenner, I think you were just affected. I guess you were just taking notes at the time, right?"

"That's right, Professor Flitwick."

"Well, I understand. I give you five points for your rigorous attitude towards class and your thirst for knowledge. Other freshmen are not like you and start taking notes right away."

Rowan and Stephen looked at each other happily, "Thank you, Professor Flitwick."

"This is what I should do." Flitwick smiled, "Your performance is indeed outstanding, isn't it? Okay, you two, I think I shouldn't take up your rest time anymore. It will be lunch time later. .”

"Haha, Stephen, Professor Flitwick really gave us extra points." Rowan couldn't help laughing as soon as he left the office. Although he didn't make any profit, he didn't lose either. More importantly, Professor Flitwick complimented him.

"Rowan, I think we can put this matter aside for now. I still have to solve the scabies treatment potion." Stephen was not thinking about extra points, because he knew that as long as they performed well, Professor Flitwick would give them extra points. . And his crucible exploded, and it would take a few days to get a new one.

"I can lend you my cauldron. As for the materials, I think we can ask Professor Snape." Rowan thought for a while and gave what he thought was the most feasible method. "As for the location of the brewing."

"I know a great place that can perfectly meet our needs. But we have to finish herbal medicine class in the afternoon before we can go there." Stephen thought of the Room of Requirement.

Three times a week, Professor Sprout takes the students to the greenhouse behind the castle to study herbalism, learn how to cultivate these exotic plants and fungi, and understand their uses.

And today is the first time. By the way, due to the arrangement of the school board, classes this week will be held until Saturday, and Monday classes will be held from Tuesday. The reason is said to be to ensure the quality of teaching.

In this regard, Stephen said it was nonsense. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class changed professors every year, there were accidents, and the school board of directors had never seen anything done.

As for why Dumbledore didn't care, let's look at who the people were. An accidental death is not a surprise. Maybe this is what Dumbledore wanted.

After quickly finishing their lunch, the two hurried back to the common room. The question asked by the door knocker was not so tricky this time, and Rowan thought for a few seconds before answering.

The two of them found a corner to sit down, opened the notes and started studying.

"Well, Stephen, your brother is really powerful." Rowan looked at it quickly. "I think the effect of these methods may not only be to slightly reduce the magic power used to cast spells, but to reduce it proportionally. But with our current situation In terms of magic power, the reduction may be negligible.”

They spoke quietly, making sure only the two of them could hear. Loud conspiracy is a characteristic of Gryffindor. It's none of their business in Ravenclaw. Conspiracy should look like conspiracy.

"But I think the most important thing is not to reduce the magic power consumption. After all, even if it is reduced proportionally, the reduction ratio cannot exceed 5%. I think this may be related to the loss during magic power conversion." Rowan closed the laptop. Back to Stephen, "My opinion in the previous letter may be wrong. In my opinion, the most breakthrough thing is the standardization of the use of magic spells."

"What do you mean?" Stephen was a little confused. He only knew that everyone's magic power was different at different stages, and it generally increased with age.

"That is to say, the magic power consumed by each spell is the same. In Muggle terms, emmm, it is similar to assembly line operation, or so it is."

"In other words, we can combine this method with alchemy." Stephen thought of some novels he had read before.

"It should be like this. Alchemy products often cannot be manufactured in large quantities, but if this method is feasible, I think it will be the same as the Industrial Revolution in the Muggle world. It is a great innovation that changes the history of the wizarding world." Rowan's eyes Full of heat, but cool down quickly.

"However, this notebook only proves the feasibility of this direction, and it does not mean that it will definitely succeed. I think this may require a lifetime of energy."

"But anyway, this notebook is very useful to us now, isn't it?" Stephen put the notebook away, called "Holmes" again, put the purchase list he had just written into the mailbox on its feet, and touched it. Touch Holmes' head. Holmes pecked Stephen lightly on the face and flew away.

"I really don't know how it can be on call at any time." Rowan was a little surprised.

"I said before that he is very smart, smarter than Watson." Stephen smiled, and Watson jumped on his shoulders.

"Watson will lead the way, Holmes will not."

"I don't think I can tell for sure. If Holmes hadn't called me this morning, we would have been locked up in Professor Snape's gloomy office."

"Oh, that's really a terrible thing. But what about Merula?" Rowan suddenly thought of the explosives expert. This title was not worn on his own head due to Stephen's interruption.

Miss Snyder accepted it honorably and became the first demolition expert at Hogwarts. It was not until the emergence of the demolition genius ten years later that the students at Hogwarts gradually forgot her outstanding feat. .

Nothing else, it's really because Mr. Seamus Finnigan's level is too high, far superior to Miss Snyder's.

"Martin told me that Snape severely criticized her and gave her a severe warning, followed by a 'severe' shut-down as punishment." Stephen heard the news about Merula from Martin Perry.

This little eagle is very mysterious, almost as if he doesn't exist in class, but his information channels are very wide, and it seems that there is no news about him in the school. And his biggest characteristic is that he is elusive and can appear in front of others inadvertently.

"Sounds like a fair punishment." Rowan found a book from the bookshelf and opened it, "But when did Martin tell you that I was basically spending time with you today? Why didn't I see him?"

"Well, didn't you see him on our way back from the restaurant?" Stephen showed a ghostly expression, "Rowan, I suggest you look next to you."

"Ah," Rowan yelled, and the eyes of the entire common room were focused on him, "Oh, sorry, everyone, it's okay. Martin, when did you show up?"

"Just when you asked me when I was going to tell Stephen." Martin moved a chair and sat down. "You were looking for something when I told Stephen. Maybe you didn't notice it."

"But didn't I find the book quickly at that time? I thought I forgot it in the Potions classroom."

"Then I don't know, Stephen, I came to you because there is a letter for you." Martin took out a letter and handed it to Stephen.

"Oh, thank you." Stephen took the letter, opened it and read it.
