Dynavale and Hogwarts

Seeing that Harvey understood what he meant, Dana let him go about his business. Taking advantage of his free time now, he started studying Wolfsbane potion.

Step by step, I first made cards with thirty-six raw materials, drew the graphics, and wrote down the processing methods. I also took out the raw materials one by one and used my mental perception to become familiar with the magic contained in them.

The tools, time and appearance listed in the preparation process are also made into prompt cards, and these cards are used for simulated preparation.

After getting familiar with it, I added other people’s preparation experience to it, and then used the principles to review the entire process and check for any gaps. Finally, I repeated it a few times to learn it by heart.

Because it is expensive, we use this simulation method to familiarize ourselves with the entire process first. When preparing, we can avoid mistakes caused by unfamiliarity with the process and the loss of Galleons.

When Dana finished all these and was confident, an afternoon passed.

After dinner, Dana went to the secret room to study the Boggart. It's been a while since I got it, and I have some time today.

Opening the cabinet door, the Boggart couldn't detect Dana's real fear, so he kept switching back and forth between the several images that had scared people before.

Dana ignored it and directly cast Positive Emotion Detection. In its sea of ​​consciousness, sporadic positive emotions could still be seen, but as it became less and less able to scare Dana, this positive emotion became more and more few.

Dana collected Positive Emotion Detection and cast the Fear Detection learned from it. At this time, in its consciousness space, the spirit discovered many fearful thoughts, and automatically rushed towards the darkest thoughts.

Unsurprisingly, its biggest fear is people laughing and saying, "That's hilarious."

After completing these emotional explorations, Dana began to practice Legilimency with Boggart. A ray of spirit entered Boggart's consciousness space. Boggart still had many thoughts, and his spirit began to capture these thoughts.

But after catching it for a long time, I couldn't catch a single thought. Dana knew that reckless actions would not work, so he used his brain. Recalling his past experience of being Legiliminated, Dana imagined that his spirit turned into a wind, and it really became

In the Boggart's consciousness space, the wind formed by Dana's spirit blew through many thoughts. He received a lot of information, but could not interpret it. It was like reading an article written in a language he did not know, and he was completely confused about the meaning of the article.

Dana thinks this phenomenon is quite interesting. The lower you go, the stronger the commonalities between different types. The higher you go, the worse the commonalities between different types.

For example, the emotional thoughts that enter the conscious space from the subconscious have good commonalities and can be interpreted by the human spirit. Dana can even find out what the fear is from the Boggart's fearful thoughts.

However, the idea of ​​Boggart's consciousness space itself has poor commonality and cannot be interpreted by the human spirit.

However, Dana didn't care too much about whether he could interpret Boggart's thoughts. He was more concerned about the method of catching thoughts with his mind. He tried it with the wind, and tried it again by turning his spirit into a net, into rain, and into clouds.

In the end, Dana felt that the spirit turned into the wind itself was the most adaptable, fast, wide-ranging, and easiest to capture the consciousness floating on the surface.

Through this research, Dana has gained a rough understanding of emotional aggregates and can conduct further research in the future. By studying it, one can have a deeper understanding of Dementors, who are also emotional aggregates.

Of course, Dementors, as the product of human sacrifices to evil gods, are also very different from naturally formed emotional aggregates. For example, the thoughts of their consciousness space, judging from Dana's observation, Dumbledore should have interpreted something.

Therefore, dementors should be a kind of monster between emotional aggregates and humans. The body is more characteristic of a spiritual aggregate, while the soul should be closer to a human being.

After the research, Dana returned to the common room, somewhat satisfied. I have been worrying about how to train Legilimency. I can't just do it when I see people. Now with Boggart, the problem is solved.

In a happy mood, Dana saw that he still had some time, so he took out his notes on the History of Magic, and while reading them, he copied them with a shorthand quill.

After Transfiguration class the next afternoon, Dana handed the package for Dumbledore to Professor McGonagall and asked her to deliver it. Dumbledore should have told her, so she didn't ask anything about the package, but asked about Dana's assessment.

"I heard that you have passed the Herbology test perfectly and got the signature. When are you going to take the Transfiguration test?"

Dana wiped away the cold sweat in his heart. There was no need to push him so hard. He said, "We have to wait. I'm busy completing the potions exam."

Afterwards, he rushed to the training ground and participated in the team's training. Knowing that Charles would leave the team, Dana was extremely serious in training, absorbing water like a sponge, learning relevant experience and skills from Diego.

Dana's Quidditch training goal this week is to listen to what others say and practice with others. Only when you practice well can you be qualified to think about your own playing style. Otherwise, the so-called thinking is just talking on paper. The same goes for training on Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning.

By Saturday afternoon, Dana could finally breathe a sigh of relief. All the scheduled tasks for the week were completed, and I finally had time to try to prepare the wolfsbane potion.

Arriving at the Room of Requirement, Dana first took out a piece of material and went through the process in his mind. He meditated for a while to make his mind clearer. He also had his shorthand quill ready, ready to record the inspiration that emerged during his preparation process. Come down.

Everything is ready and preparation officially begins.

This time, Dana planned to follow the instructions for the compounding process exactly.

The mental focus is on the formation of magical structures. From this perspective, some processes, including material handling, preparation techniques and timing of feeding, can be fine-tuned. These can all be improved next time.

Putting in the first twelve materials is easy and not difficult at all.

Starting from the thirteenth material, the formation of the magic structure becomes very slow, but as long as nothing goes wrong, as time goes by, the magic in the material will always be in place and enter the place where it should stay in the magic structure.

However, Dana also found some ways to speed up the process from Snape's past methods, which can be improved the next time he prepares.

This slow process continues until the thirtieth material is input. After that, every time a material is input, a shock will occur.

The magic contained in the newly invested materials is like a naughty child that refuses to go where it should be. Not only does it not go, it also shakes the structure that has been formed before.

Dana dared not relax more and more, and concentrated on strictly following the operating instructions. Faced with this situation, he had no ideas and no solution from his previous experience. The only thing you rely on is the operating instructions.

The thirty-fourth material, Wolf's Tail Fern, was put in, and passed the test under standardized operations; the thirty-fifth material, Wolf's Pterostilbene, was put in, and the reaction was so violent that Dana thought the preparation was about to fail, but it miraculously calmed down again. , the magic is in place.

The last ingredient is Wolfsbane Flower. As soon as it was put in, the entire potion produced a large number of bubbles in an instant. Before the magic structure could be formed, the potion quickly overflowed from the crucible. Dana watched helplessly as all his previous efforts were ruined.
