Snakes at Hogwarts

"But Professor, how did Wizard Barufio summon that bison?"

In the Charms classroom on the fourth floor of the castle, Andros continued to ask.

Although Professor Flitwick confirmed his conjecture, he still didn't know what was going on.

Could it be that Professor Flitwick is old and confused?

Or did Rowling leave any bugs when she wrote the book?

Andros kept thinking in his mind.

"Do you know the origin of modern magic, Ender?" Without a direct answer, Professor Flitwick asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"It seems to be derived from ancient magic. Through constant exploration, modern wizards have simplified the cumbersome ancient magic and finally formed another unique system."

After thinking for a moment, Andros gave his answer.

Although he is not interested in the history of wizards, he still understands it more or less with the help of Hermione. What's more, this is not some weird history.

"It's generally true that hundreds of years ago, some great pioneers discovered that those old textbooks were full of complex instructions and esoteric concepts.

Similarly, some spell-casting gestures and spells are too cumbersome and are no longer suitable for today's wizards. They continue to fumble and eventually simplify many spells, and the floating spell is one of them. "

Looking at the group of students looking at him, Professor Flitwick explained.

At this moment, the erudition of a true Ravenclaw was vividly displayed.

"In the earliest times, the floating spell was different from what it is now. There was a very crucial "f" in the spell at that time. However, the earliest spell was not stable. If you were not careful, it would produce unpredictable results. Effect."

"The wizard Barufio is a very unfortunate example. He mistakenly recited the spell and ended up summoning a crazed bison instead of levitating the object."

"It is precisely because of learning his painful lessons that the spell of this curse was repeatedly modified, and finally became the Yugardim Leviosa that you are learning now."

So that’s it!

If you put it that way, it makes sense.

Andros breathed a sigh of relief.

Let me just say, this is a real world, how can there be so-called bugs?

"Therefore, we cannot forget the lessons of Wizard Barufio. This is why I mentioned him repeatedly in class. Magic is also very dangerous while showing you those magical places." Professor Flitwick's tone was serious. .

"Throughout the ages, countless wizards have lost their lives because of a careless move."

"Professor, can you show us what the initial levitation spell looks like?"

Draco blinked his curious eyes. He seemed to have completely forgotten what Professor Flitwick had just said.

Amidst the cheers of the whole class, Professor Flitwick nodded helplessly.

"Okay, but one thing I must make clear is that this initial spell is not stable. You must not use this spell when you release the floating spell in the future."

After repeated warnings, Professor Flitwick waved his wand and chanted a cadence of spells.

In terms of the length of the spell, it is indeed much more complex than the current Levitation Spell.

In fact, Professor Flitwick was a little overthinking. It was impossible for the little wizards to choose such a complicated method to cast spells.

Similarly, no young wizard can memorize such a long and unclear spell.

He spoke so fast that even Andros could only make out a few indistinct syllables.

However, he heard the long final "f" sound very clearly.

With a few complicated gestures, the feathers in front of him started to float up, then flew higher and higher under the control of Professor Flitwick, and soon reached the ceiling of the classroom.

"Professor, if I deliberately say "f" instead of "s", will it be a spell specifically used to summon bison?" Andros asked.

"It's theoretically possible, kid."

Professor Flitwick put down his wand, and the snow-white feather slowly fell from the ceiling after losing the support of magic.

"But inventing a spell is not as simple as you think. It takes many experiments for a spell to be invented and finally determined."

"Among them, the stability of the spell is a very important factor. If the spell is unstable, it may cause unexpected situations." Looking at his favorite disciple, Professor Flitwick taught patiently.

"So it can really summon a bison, Professor!" Next to Andros, Draco's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Can you show it to me?" he asked enthusiastically.

Like Potter's idiot Dudley, Draco looked very
