From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Calvin's first period ended quickly, and he quickly left the classroom after being assigned a paper about unicorns.

But unexpectedly, three students followed him all the way to the office.

"Come in, don't stand outside the door." Calvin looked at George, Fred and Cedric sneaking around at the door and let them come in to talk.

Calvin sat back on the chair, and a blue cat jumped on the table. Calvin hit the cat's head with a wand, and the blue cat split into three. They began to tidy up Calvin's clothes, tidy up the desk, and make coffee.

Calvin took a sip of coffee and said to the three stunned little wizards: "The civet given to me by the French Minister of Magic will be taught in future classes.

So Mr. Diggory, and the two Weasleys, what do you want from me?Is there something you don't understand in class? "

Cedric stepped back calmly: "Let George and Fred speak first."

Calvin nodded and then looked at the Weasley twins who looked almost the same.

George took out a book full of notes from his bag and said excitedly: "Professor Capet, it is indeed related to learning."

"But not Magical Beasts," said the other Weasley.

"It's alchemy."

"We want to learn alchemy from you." The two placed the book "Simple Alchemy for Homes" filled with notes and two small mirrors in front of Calvin, and looked at Calvin expectantly.

This surprised Calvin. He picked up the book "Simple Alchemy for Homes" and flipped through it to see the notes the two of them had written on it.

The ideas are very naive, but they are also very creative and have some unique understandings.It seems that students at Hogwarts are still very interested in alchemy.Should we suggest that Dumbledore start an alchemy class?

Calvin closed the book and picked up the two small mirrors.A very simple alchemical artifact with only two cores that can be used to transmit words and messages.But the great thing is that this is not the content of "Simple Alchemy at Home".

"Does anyone in your family know alchemy?" Calvin asked, rubbing one of the mirrors.

Fred and George both shook their heads: "No, we did it ourselves."

Calvin went back to see when the book was printed, which was June this year.In other words, George and Fred read the book thoroughly in less than three months and invented their own alchemical products without any guidance.It seems that he still has some talent.

"At your age, it is already a very good work, especially if you have not been exposed to alchemy." Calvin returned the book and mirror to the Weasley brothers.

George and Fred were very excited when they heard Calvin's praise, their faces became as red as their hair, and they stammered: "So, Professor, are you willing to teach us? Teach us alchemy."

A smile appeared on the corner of Calvin's mouth, as if he was calculating something.He crossed his hands in front of him and said: "Mr. Weasley, I believe you already have some basic understanding of alchemy. So tell me, what are the basic principles of alchemy?"

"The basic principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange." Fred said quickly.

"Yes, so if you want to learn alchemy from me, you need to pay a corresponding price." Calvin looked at the twins with a smile.

"Uh, Professor Capet, if you need gold galleons, we will give it to you. I mean, uh, not now, not later. Or we can give you shares in our store in the future." George said nervously .

Calvin smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Weasley. Sorry, I can't tell you two apart at the moment. I'm not interested in Galleons, and I don't want your future shares."

"As a magizoologist, I raised a large number of magical animals. Now that I am a professor, I have no time to take care of these little cuties.

So, if you two could come to my place every week and help me take care of my magical creatures, I would be willing to provide you with some alchemical guidance in your own time. "

George and Fred looked at each other and said in unison, "We do, Professor."

"It's not that simple, Weasley. You two, when you go back, write a paper about your understanding of alchemy, get a new alchemical product, and show it to me on Friday night. If you meet my requirements , then I can teach you." Calvin put forward the last condition.

"Okay, Professor!"

After sending away the Weasley twins who were as active as rabbits, Calvin turned his attention to Cedric Diggory, who was as quiet as a virgin: "Would you like a cup of coffee? Mr. Diggory."

"Oh, thank you, no need, Professor Capet."

"Okay," Calvin put the empty cup on the table, and the civet cat beside him took the initiative to refill it for him, "Are you here to learn alchemy too?"

"No, no," Cedric said a little embarrassed, "Professor Capet, I am more interested in your magic paintings."

"I taught myself magic painting during the summer vacation, and I could only paint some simple objects. Seeing your magic painting today really opened my eyes to a whole new world. So I want to learn magic painting from you."

Calvin nodded: "No problem, the same request as the Weasley brothers. On Friday night, show me the magic painting you created. If it meets my requirements, I will teach you magic painting."

Cedric promised Calvin but did not leave the office.

"Do you have any more questions? Cedric."

"Yes," Cedric nodded heavily, "Professor, I saw that the magical animals you drew can come to reality and even interact with us. If I guessed correctly, under your control, these magical animals are It is not possible to launch an attack."

"If that's the case, can you draw the magic spell into a magic painting? Just throw out the drawing paper when you want to use it."

Cedric's speech really surprised Calvin. He thought he was just an ordinary academic, but he didn't expect that he could think of so much.

"Very good, Cedric," Calvin looked at him approvingly, "You are very good. In fact, this is what wizards in the Far East do.

They record the spells into profound and obscure symbols, more like our ancient magic texts, drawn on special paper with special ink, and the finished product is smaller than your textbook. They call it a spell.

Ink and paper for drawing spells are very expensive, and the success rate is not guaranteed, so the most precious treasures of wizards there are powerful spells made by spell masters.

I saw a powerful, or rather wealthy, wizard duel in the Far East.As soon as he made a move, the sky was filled with yellow paper and countless powerful spells. "

"So, Professor, can you make spells?" Cedric asked excitedly.

"Spell? Cedric, you will find in the future that I can use magic paintings to do more things that charms cannot." Calvin smiled and drank the coffee in his cup.
