Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 16 The difference between magic spells

In Hogwarts courses, it is often necessary to divide students into pairs to supervise each other, work together, and check for deficiencies.

This is most obvious in the potions class. First-year potions basically require the cooperation of two young wizards.For Tangning, the biggest advantage of Snape is that he has no objection to putting Tangning and Hermione in a group. This is the only class where Tangning and Hermione can be grouped together one month after the school started. Of course, this is very difficult. It could be that Snape simply wanted to teach the two little lions a lesson. After all, it was difficult for Tangning and Hermione to make any mistakes in Potions class.

Basically, Snape didn't care much about Tangning and Hermione in Potions class. At the same time, the nickname he gave Hermione, Miss Know-It-All, was already spreading to the upper grades.For Tang Ning, configuring potions was no more difficult than the physics experiments she did in college. At least the homework for the potions class was not copying a lot of experimental reports.

The professors of Charms, Transfiguration and even Defense Against the Dark Arts classes generally believe that Hermione and Tangning are the two most reliable students in Gryffindor's first year class, which directly gives them a new task in the classroom - to help Helping classmates in need: Neville, the little accidental prince, and Seamus, who can explode, are the best among them, and Ron is also among them. It’s not that he is incompetent (maybe he really isn’t...) mainly because his broken wand is very difficult to use. It is difficult to release a qualified spell.

The peaceful study life did not last long. When Professor Flitwick began to explain the petrification spell to the young wizard in detail, Tangning noticed that what Professor Flitwick explained was slightly different from what Mrs. Tonks taught him before the start of school. The main manifestations were In terms of spell-casting movements, Tang Ning soon discovered that the difference was not only reflected in the spell-casting movements.

Professor Flitwick did not allow the young wizards to practice in class. After class, Tangning didn't even eat lunch and secretly changed a few details according to Professor Flitwick's instructions. After trying to cast the spell, he found that the petrification spell could still be cast. It came out, but it seemed a bit obscure compared to before. Moreover, Tangning felt that the flow of magic power in her body seemed to have changed, as if the casting speed had slowed down.

After discovering these differences, Tangning decided to write a letter to Mrs. Tonks for advice.

When it was dinner time, Jinx brought a letter to Tang Ning. Regardless of finishing her dinner, Tang Ning fed Jinx a mouthful of toast and hurriedly opened the letter - it was written in Tang Ning's familiar cursive script.

Dear Tangning:

I'm glad you're sensing the flow of magic at this age. In fact, it's something that those wizards who need to face the ultimate wizarding test need to master - and not all wizards can master it.It seems that you are very sensitive to the flow of magic power in your body, which will be very helpful for your future studies. I guess you must have performed very well in the transformation class!Professor McGonagall will definitely like you.

Okay, stop the gossip, dear, you should know that in the Middle Ages and even earlier, the magic world did not have so many common spells in textbooks.Each wizard has his own way of casting spells. Many of the spells can only be inherited by blood relatives. Different wizards cast the same spell in various ways, which can easily lead to the extinction of inheritance.The spells you see now were developed by the four founders of Hogwarts together with other wizards after the school was founded. They are basically suitable for all wizards. After Hogwarts fully recruits students, these spells will also follow. It spread.

But this does not mean that other ways of casting spells will be eliminated. On the contrary, each pure-blood family has a spell inheritance that is more suitable for the physique of its descendants. Before the start of school, I will give you three spells, which have been passed down through the ages. A modified version of the most powerful wizard in the Black family, more suitable for today's Black descendants, allowing you to cast spells faster with greater power.Of course, in the future you can consider changing the spell to suit you better - that's how the Silent Spell came to be, but don't do it now.

So don't worry, dear.I will explain it to you in detail during the Christmas holidays.

——Love you Aunt Anduo

After reading the letter, Tangning breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there are two types of magic spells: a universal version and a customized version. For a single individual, the latter is definitely better than the former, but in terms of educational dissemination, the former is irreplaceable.

Tangning now understands part of the reason why some pure-blood families look down on Muggle-born wizards, but understanding does not mean agreement.As far as Tang Ning knew, their stubbornness cost them a lot more than ten years ago - more than five fingers of their own were the extinct heirs of famous pure-blood families.There are also cases like the Black family, where the only heir is imprisoned in Azkaban, which is equivalent to extermination.If it weren't for Tangning's time travel, the Lestrange family would have followed the path of the Black family, but it's not far behind now. Apart from gold coins, Tangning didn't receive any inheritance from the Lestrange family. Of course, For Tangning, so many gold coins were enough.

She had noticed something strange about her best friend a long time ago. Miss Know-It-All had been paying attention to Tang Ning's movements. Tang Ning's behavior of not even bothering to eat and reading the letter in a hurry aroused her strong curiosity. After Tang Ning put the letter away , she quickly came forward.

"Tangning, I noticed that you have been absent-minded since Charms class. What happened?" The smart Hermione decided to communicate slowly and not mention this letter for now.

Tangning, who still didn't know that she had been issued a good friend card, hesitated for a moment, then realized that there was nothing to hide, so she took out the letter that she had put away and handed it to Hermione, "I didn't understand some of the questions before, but Now I understand, this is Aunt Anduo's answer, do you want to see it?"

She nodded quickly, it wouldn't be Hermione if she said no.Hermione, who believed that there should be no secrets between good friends, happily opened the letter, but unfortunately she didn't understand the first paragraph - "What is the flow of magic?"

"Can't you feel it when the spell is released?" Tangning was a little confused. He recalled carefully. During the practice before the start of school, Tangning only had a vague feeling. Later, when she faced Snape's Legilimency, Tangning It was the first time that Tangning could clearly sense the flow of magic power on the disarming spell. Tangning originally thought that this was something every wizard could do, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Tangning taught Hermione what she had learned, but unfortunately, she still couldn't sense it.Fortunately, in the past one or two months of study, Hermione has built enough confidence from children from pure-blood wizarding families such as Ron and Neville. She firmly believes that she will be able to sense magic before seventh grade. flow.

Hermione's confidence disappointed Tangning, who had already prepared words of comfort. She didn't know what he was disappointed about...

When Tangning was watching the stars in the astronomy class in the tower in the evening, Professor Sinistra told them that in order to avoid the Halloween party, the astronomy class next Wednesday would be moved to the afternoon, and he was going to give a theoretical class.

The young wizards all expressed surprise at this, and this also showed that before they knew it, Tangning was about to spend two months at Hogwarts.
