Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 7 An Electric Mouse
Old Divin didn't stay idle for long, and Connor reappeared in Lake Manor a week later.

"That's right, kid, let me see with a spell." Old Diwen was very pleased, he was able to master the silent casting of the Iron Armor Curse in a week, even a few days faster than he estimated. My grandson is indeed a young genius.

"Okay, grandpa."

Then Old Diwen saw his grandson stretch out his little hand, and an Iron Armor Curse was cast beautifully, perfect!As expected. Wait?Stretch out your little hand? !Casting spells without a staff? ? !
Old Diwen's cane almost fell off in fright, and he said a little confused: "Connor, how did you learn to cast spells without a cane?"

"Eh? Didn't you let me learn how to cast spells without a stick?" Connor said innocently.

You must have heard wrong!If you don’t believe me, go back and turn to Chapter 6! "." Old Diwen was silent. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated his grandson, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Then do you find it difficult to control your magic power output when you cast spells without a wand?"

Connor nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, if it weren't for the little tricks you taught me about using magic power, grandpa, I wouldn't be able to cast spells without a wand in two or three days."

Do you still spend less time casting spells without a wand? ! "Really, you are very smart, Connor. Very smart." Old Diwen took a deep breath and said, "I have a very helpful little gift for you here."

The grandfather took out a small silver ball the size of a palm, and handed it to Connor with a complicated expression: "I originally wanted to give you this as a seventh birthday present, but I have to think again." Thinking of what to give you at that time."

Connor took the ball with a very light hand. It didn't look like it was made of metal. The ball was hollowed out. There was a round section inside the ball, and there were circles of winding "pipes" on it. The outer wrapping The pattern is also very beautiful, "What is this? Grandpa."

"This kind of thing is called magic pattern ball, and the main material is mithril, which is rare now." Grandfather said with emotion: "Do you know what the characteristics of mithril are? Connor"

Connor shook his head, which touched the blind spot of his knowledge.

"Mithril has a strong affinity for magic. It is the best material for making magic props. It is rare now. Those greedy goblins are a group of hopeless misers!" Grandpa criticized angrily The goblin then continued: "This kind of magic-weave ball was used by wizards in the past to practice casting spells silently and wandless."

"Look at the section inside this ball, it's a complete magic pattern." Old Diwen took the ball, pointed to a small hole at the lower end and said: "This is the magic power input port. When you input magic power, you The part that the magic touches lights up, like this."

Connor saw the tube at the bottom of the ball emit a red light, and then, as if water was being poured into a plastic water pipe, the red light was slowly advancing along the tube.

"Because of Mithril's sensitivity to magic power, when the magic power you input changes, it will change into different colors." As soon as Old Diwen finished speaking, the bottom of the red light suddenly turned green, and then changed into different colors. After the demonstration, the grandfather handed the ball to Connor.

"Give it to you, use this practice in the future."

"Okay, thank you." Connor happily took the ball, played with it for a while, and then asked, "Grandpa, what kind of magic is in this ball?"

Old Diwen stroked his messy beard and said with a smile: "This is our family's painting magic pattern, but it is the simplest part. The pictures in the chocolate frog are mainly drawn with this magic. We draw the only flat magic pattern in the magic pattern. Its function is to give the painting the ability to 'act'."

"That is to say, if I master this magic, can I draw moving pictures!?" Connor was a little excited.

"In theory, yes. But it's not that simple." Old Diving paused. "Another characteristic of the chocolate frog painting card is that the 'people' in the painting share several drawing cards. They will often run from one card to another, which involves another engraved on the drawing card. The magic on it is also a simple magic pattern. After you learn the current magic, I will teach you."

"Of course, if you don't want your painting to 'run' away, you can draw with this magic. The method is to let your magic power draw the Act magic pattern, and then pass through your brush and fall on the paper." Old Di Wen said with a smile: "At the beginning, I can draw some small animals, such as rabbits."

"I see!" Connor nodded earnestly: "I completely understand." The thought of mastering the method of drawing "animation" filled Connor with motivation.

-

In the days that followed, Connor was immersed in the ocean of magic, hugging the magic ball every day, inseparable, like a demon, not even beating his younger brother, and even frightened Flora and his grandfather into a small quarrel After forcing Connor to sign the humiliating contract of 'only playing ball for 4 hours a day', Flora finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, children still need to play more in their childhood to grow up healthily. Flora thinks that the Muggle books are somewhat reasonable.

In this way, it wasn't until two months later that Connor succeeded in drawing a Pikachu on paper with just this magic.

Controlling the brush, he painted Pikachu's eyes, and the electric mouse in the painting suddenly came to life, running around in the oil painting. Connor nodded with satisfaction. After so much hard work, he finally succeeded.

The difficulty of the Act magic pattern is not at the same level as that of the previous Iron Armor Curse. After all, when you use the Iron Armor Curse, when you recite the incantation, it's like a plug-in upper body, and you can perfectly cast it without using your brain.

The painting magic pattern is different. There is actually no magic spell in the painting magic pattern, or there is no magic spell at present. How to use the magic power and how much magic power to use depends entirely on your own imagination.

Connor finally knew why his grandfather was so pleased with him. After all, it was impossible for ordinary children to do this, and the little wizard who grew up accustomed to using spells didn't have much patience to learn this kind of magic spell without a "template". spell.

In fact, the most difficult thing is to maintain the spell model and draw. After all, if the model is scattered without paying attention, you have to do it again. It takes several minutes to draw the magic pattern carefully with magic power.While trying to maintain the model and not let it disperse, and thinking about how to draw on the other hand, Connor said that he was too southern.

But the hard work paid off, and Connor succeeded in drawing the electric mouse.

"What is Connor?" Ivan approached and asked at this moment.

Recently, Ivan is not happy at all. Since his brother started to learn to draw, he doesn’t play with him very much, and he doesn’t spank Ivan’s ass anymore. He only knows to hold his notebook or play with his ball every day. If he disturbed him while painting, he would still stare at Yiwen coldly. The brother who liked him before was gone!It must be the grandfather with the white beard who cast a curse on the elder brother!Evan hates his grandfather!

Poor, weak and helpless, Ivan, who can't eat yet, feels that only every time Connor finishes painting, the familiar brother from before will come back, so every time Connor finishes painting, Ivan will talk to him.

"This is an electric mouse!" Connor said happily, in a good mood.

"Lightning mouse?" Seeing Connor smiling, Ivan was also very happy, and asked for a hundred thousand reasons: "Is it made of lightning? Or does it release lightning magic? Why haven't I seen this magical animal?" ?”

"It's not Fantastic Beasts, it's what I drew."

"How do you know it's called Thunder Mouse when you drew it?" Ivan's little head obviously didn't know what Connor was talking about.

"I mean, I created this. Now it's not called Thunder Mouse, it's called Pikachu." Connor didn't know what Ivan was talking about, so he answered perfunctorily. Just after he finished speaking, Pikachu in the painting gave the background The scarecrow came with a shot of [-] volts, and the scarecrow was electrified to appear like a cartoon bone.

Seeing this scene, Connor laughed happily. These are the pictures he imagined when he was just painting, and these are all shown in the painting. Painting magic is really fun.

"Wow, it really released lightning! Connor!" Ivan was very excited. "Connor Connor! Can you give it to me? I like this Bi. Pikachu."

Looking at his star-eyed younger brother, Connor froze for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose wildly, and said, "Of course! Ivan, it is yours now, and I think you will have more Pikachus in the future."

"Ivan, I have a bold idea."
