Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 79 The Magic Talent of Painting

Professor Charles walked around the classroom, and only three people in the class drew people who could speak.

Maureen, Hugo and Sweet.

Except for the three of them, the other students drew people who either had a leg that seemed to be glued to the paper and could not move, or who could walk on the paper but could not lift their arms, but in either case, the paper No one can speak.

"Yes, yes, it would be more perfect if the eyes could be drawn symmetrically and the eyebrows added." Professor Charles said looking at Mo Lin's masterpiece.

Mo Lin blushed slightly. His paintings are actually not paintings, but more like graffiti, and the details are not outlined. Although he has the magical talent for painting, he does not have the skills of painting. Hugo and him are not the same.

"It's a surprise that there are only three of us in the class of 70 people."

Hugo was very excited. They took this class with Slytherin students. There are more students in the two colleges. Usually, no matter what magic he learns, he is at the bottom of the class, but this time he is in the magic talent of drawing. Actually as good as Maureen.

He reached out to touch Lily on the book again, but this time Lily on the book seemed a little tired, she opened her mouth, but couldn't make any sound anymore.

"Huh? Has the magic failed? Professor." Hugo looked up and asked Professor Charles in confusion.

"Yes, the magic is invalid. It will only talk at the beginning, and then it will not work, and the action will become slower and slower. In the end, it may just blink your eyes occasionally, stretch your legs or something. I want to make the painting The figures that come out stay alive forever and have to be framed with special paper and frames, like the ones we see in castles. They have special paper and frames so they stay alive forever."

Professor Charles walked back to the podium and pointed to the moving wizard painting. The blond woman in the painting didn't seem to like to talk, and didn't bother to talk to the students. In the end, she even walked out of the painting frame and ran into the Muggle painting frame next door. , glanced at the Muggle who looked the same as her but couldn't move, his face changed drastically, and he ran back in fright.

"Professor, is she afraid of people who can't move?" a boy in the front row asked.

Professor Charles nodded and explained to everyone: "There is no magic protection in Muggle photo frames. It is a forbidden place for the people in the wizard's paintings. If the people in the wizard's paintings stay on the Muggle paper for too long, their magic will be destroyed." Gradually ineffective, and finally imprisoned in Muggle photo frames, so people in wizard paintings will instinctively leave the Muggle paper and return to their own photo frames. Therefore, Muggles rarely see moving characters in books , because the characters in wizard paintings don't stay."

Everyone suddenly realized that, this ensures that the paintings of Muggles and wizards will not visit each other and conflict, and Muggles will not panic when they see the moving people in the paintings.

"So Muggle drawings are inherently immobile, aren't they, Professor?" Sweet asked again, raising her hand.

"In principle, this is the case. Of course, there is a revealing potion, poured on Muggle paper, it will make the Muggle paintings move, but the duration is not long, and the magic of the revealing potion will fade soon, so It is not recommended that you try to animate Muggle drawings, you can take a look."

Professor Charles took out a black bottle from his pocket. With a wave of his wand, the cork jumped out and floated to the side. A few drops of green liquid inside were drawn by Professor Charles' wand and landed on the Muggle painting. Green The potion disappeared into the Muggle drawing.

After a while, the woman in the Muggle painting blinked her eyes slowly, the sparrows on the branches began to spread their wings and flew up, and the passers-by on the street behind also began to talk and say hello to each other.

All the students present felt that such a painting was a normal painting.

"Not only is there such a difference between wizards' paintings and Muggles' paintings, but also wizards' cameras and Muggles' cameras are the same. The negatives of the photos taken by wizards have special magic, but now there is no such thing as Muggles. Film negatives were used instead of digital records. Some wizards are also working on improvements, at least we can now take more realistic color photos."

Professor Charles then began to briefly introduce the development history of Muggle art paintings, especially several famous Muggle painters.The students in the class were not interested in these people. When Professor Charles talked about a painter who cut off his ears for some reason, Mo Lin couldn't help but think of Madonna, the president of the magic sound who sucked blood for mosquitoes.

"Artists are really freaks." Mo Lin couldn't help muttering.

"Just like wizards, famous painters' works will be eagerly bought by people. It is very simple for us wizards to judge whether a painting is good or bad, just by judging from the degree of activity of the painting. But Muggle paintings can't move, so they will put Paintings are classified into a series of genres, such as abstractionism, impressionism, realism, etc. To appreciate the works of Muggle painters, you can only rely on guessing and comprehension to analyze the artistic conception in the painting. It is very complicated to judge the mood and the emotion expressed.”

The revealing potion that Professor Charles poured just now has gradually lost its effect, and the Muggle painting has returned to its original appearance.

"The paintings of our wizards are different. The painter's mood and artistic conception can move on the paper. You can see the countercurrent salmon that jumps out of a waterfall from time to time, and you can see that the painter wants to express the emotion of survival against adversity. One piece A stone, a piece of grass, and an inconspicuous butterfly all contain the artist's soul, which is more profound and vivid than Muggle paintings. Appreciating Muggle paintings is more based on imagination, while appreciating wizards' paintings requires observation .”

Professor Charles made a thorough analysis of the difference between Muggles and wizards. Finally, he asked everyone to turn the book to the Muggle painting chapter. There are two paintings in it, one is a moving wizard painting, and the other is not moving. Muggle drawing.

"Go back and observe these two paintings carefully. What can you see from the paintings of Muggles and wizards respectively? Write a simple six-inch report and hand it in next week." Charles assigned homework.

A lot of people looked sullen, and aside from a few students who were genuinely interested in Muggles, taking Muggle lessons was torture for most wizard-borns.

"It's another boring report. Why do we have to imagine what Muggle paintings are going to express?" Hugo started to pack up his books. He just graffitied a lot of villains on the book. He communicated, and now he has sat in one place and stopped talking.

"Fortunately, it's only six inches, and the professor didn't embarrass us anymore. The words are a little bigger, and the six-inch parchment can be easily filled. The professor also said that appreciating Muggle paintings depends on imagination! We usually do Don't Muggle homework depend on guessing?"

Maureen wasn't interested in Muggle paintings either. Anyway, that's what they did for Muggle homework. When they couldn't write, they used their imaginations, guessed a few words, and wrote the words very big. Also try to make the handwriting neat and tidy, and strive for extra points for the roll.

"I really hope that Professor Charles is teaching painting. A gentleman like him shouldn't be teaching this boring class. It will deduct points for his impression. But then again, this class is not completely useless, is it? "

Hugo said enthusiastically that he accidentally discovered that he has a magical talent for painting. Although the skills still need to be improved, it is already very powerful to be able to make the people in the painting speak.

"By the way, last time you said to investigate the similarity of the missing students, how is the investigation going?" Mo Lin asked.
