All things are three at Hogwarts

At the dinner table the next day, Allen saw his eldest brother Albert.

After saying good morning to each other, Albert, who is a member of the Quidditch team in the school, was the first to ask: "Alan, I heard that you won a Neptune? Can I use it to fly a lap later?"

"Of course it's okay, Albert."

"Allen's performance was great. This morning's Daily Prophet also reported on Allen's award-winning process. It's really amazing." Irving flicked the newspaper in his hand, pointed to the actually small area and said - But fortunately, there is also a photo to enhance its presence.

"Father, show me." Lun took the words and extended his hand to his father's newspaper.

"I want it too, I want it too." Emily has transformed into her brother's little crush, running to her father and vying to see it too.

"Emily, do you understand?" Lunn teased his sister mischievously.

"I can't understand it, but there is a picture of Allen on it." Emily replied confidently.

Owen simply handed the newspaper to Lunn and asked him to read it to his sister.

It described how he won the award, and also attached a large photo. In the photo, Alan was holding Neptune and smiling, and the freckles on Ron's face were clearly visible next to him.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." Mrs. Harris directed the breakfast to everyone in a good mood.

"Roasted tomatoes, soybeans with tomato sauce, ham and bacon fried eggs, oatmeal, mom, you also made some Bavarian white sausage with sauerkraut, it's very rich!" little sister Emily sighed with satisfaction.

Alan fiercely took a bite of the white sausage with the sauerkraut. At least it made him feel better to swallow than the local British dishes, but he couldn't help but be filled with despair about his future diet.

After breakfast, Allen returned to his room on the pretext of doing homework, locked the door and opened the storage space.

The storage space was displayed in front of Allen, and there were currently four items in it. A parchment scroll tied with a blue string, a wizard's robe, and two books.

Allen already knew that the parchment scroll was the "Aura of Academic Dominance", so Allen chose to take out the wizard's robe.

There is no doubt that this is a gorgeous wizard robe. The black velvet fabric is very smooth, with a mysterious black light looming. It is inlaid with a three-finger-wide dark red border, and is engraved with ancient runes that Allen cannot understand.

"What is the function of this robe?"

Just when I thought of this, a function introduction appeared under the storage compartment corresponding to the robe.

"Wonderful Wizard Robe!" As soon as he saw the name, Allen couldn't help complaining. It was such a cute name, and there was a risk of being sent a lawyer's letter...

Wonderful Wizard Robe: Automatically adjusts to a certain size (can adjust from medium humanoid shape to small or large humanoid shape). Transform into any clothing you want, equipped with automatic decontamination magic to clean it up, and invisibility magic (the disguise spell can be used three times a day, and each spell can last for half an hour if it is not actively canceled or canceled by a counter-spell. The number of uses is restored every eight hours), and like the skins of horned beasts and manticores, it has good resistance to ordinary spells.

To be on the safe side, Allen immediately took off all the clothes on his body and put on this wizard robe. The smooth touch soothed his skin, and it was so light that it seemed like he was naked. The empty and free state of his lower body made him a little uncomfortable.

Allen thought for a while, turned the Miaomiao Wizard robe into the clothes he just wore, and poured a cup of black tea on his body. The water stains were very clear, and the robe was dripping wet, but the strange thing was that he was not wet at all. There is no discomfort at all, there is a thin film that isolates the moisture. This has the same function as Daisy's most expensive robes purchased at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, which are imbued with various charms - the eldest sister Daisy is a bit careless in her style, and often puts the robes on when making potions. They spill on clothes, so the thermostatic function that most other wizards prefer is less important than this ability, knowing that some magical things cannot be cleaned so easily.

The idea of ​​"cleaning it up" came to mind. The robe that was still wet just now was instantly dry, and there was no water stain at all.

The whole outfit has become clean and tidy, as if the collar of the ironed shirt stands straight on the neck, and the clothes are worn properly on the body.

Allen chose the encyclopedia. This book was very thick. The vermilion cover was decorated with a compass-like decoration. It was a cipher disk that could set a seven-digit password. Allen thought that the number 7 was in Harry's name. It exists particularly in the Potter world, so set it to "7777777".

When you open the cover, the first article that pops up is a general introduction to the talisman. On thin yellow parchment, a row of silver letters with no discernable location automatically change into modern English spellings.

Spells refer to magical actions that mobilize the magical power of the magical world to achieve some effect that ordinary people cannot achieve, such as levitating objects, making fire out of thin air, or stunning a person. Charms are usually done through incantations. The use of spells often produces physical phenomena such as glowing, so they can often be dodged, staggered, or blocked by objects (including another spell). The act of using a spell is often called "casting" or "casting."

Generally, successful casting of a spell requires three conditions: a wave of the wand, a spell, and concentration. If you don't wave your wand the right way, say the incantation incorrectly, or lose focus during the spell, the spell will fail or be counterproductive. It should be pointed out that the spell can be performed without chanting a spell or a wand through silent and wandless spells, which is more difficult than chanting a spell and using a wand.

Allen knew that these methods would not be taught to users in schools at the beginning, but until the students reached a certain level. For example, silent spells would be taught in the sixth grade at Hogwarts, and compared with Famous Silent Curse users include Albus Dumbledore, Mysterio and Severus Snape. They also use wandless magic and the power and effect are not reduced much, but generally slightly. Talented wizards can only use these advanced skills to cast some simple spells.

Most spells in the British wizarding world are of Latin origin, but there are also spells of English origin. Figuratively speaking, the difference between Transfiguration and Charmology is similar to the difference between form and function, or matter and energy. The former focuses on what an object "is" (its form - transfiguration), while the latter focuses on what an object "does" (its function - spellology). During the casting of a spell, light is usually generated and shot from the tip of the wand towards the target. For example, a fainted person will glow red, and Avada Kedavra will glow green. Of course, there are some spells that have no visible intermediate effects, such as Come and Silence. Some people cast spells that also make noises when they are cast, but this is usually a characteristic of less skilled people - which reminds Alan of the pinging and smoke caused by Harry Potter's spells in the original plot. A masterpiece, this is obviously not the style of a master.

Normally, the casting of spells has a certain timeliness. This means that the effects of magic will disappear after a certain period of time. For example, Expelliarmus only takes effect the moment it is cast, while being stunned and petrified will last for a long time. Counterspells can also end specific spells. In addition, the effects of most spells disappear when the caster dies, with the exception of some permanent magic that is cast in a special way, such as those magical artifacts cast or built by the founders of Hogwarts Castle.

The preface also specifically warns wizards at the end that although wizards can invent new spells, this is a difficult and dangerous approach. Allen knew that Severus Snape, a student, invented it while at Hogwarts. Several spells, but Luna's mother Pandora Lovegood once died because something went wrong during a magic experiment, so he is not so arrogant that he wants to learn to run before he can walk in a short period of time. For new spells, even if you want to do this, you have to wait for the foundation to be solid before it can be completed naturally.

After that, the Spell Encyclopedia got down to business, listing the general classification of charms. And it should be noted that the degree of independence between categories is still unknown. In other words, generally a spell can only belong to one of the categories, but there may be specific spells that can belong to different categories at the same time. For example, petrification is the most advanced form of black magic, but it is also a form of transformation; Lihuo is both a curse and a curse. And many healing spells can be considered both hexes and transfigurations.

The catalog is divided into Transfigurations, Hexes, Hexes, Hexes, Curses, Counterspells, and Healing Spells.

The defining function of transfiguration is to change the form or appearance of an object. This type of spell can be subdivided into true transfiguration spells and summoning spells. The former is an existing object that is changed, and the latter is a desired object that is conjured out of thin air. . Example: Animagus refers to a wizard who can transform into an animal while retaining his sanity and magical powers.

The defining function of a enchantment is to change an object's original properties, namely its behavior and abilities. When cast by an experienced caster, hexes usually have longer-lasting effects. Example: Expelliarmus - Disarming Charm. The reason for this classification is that this spell changes the object (opponent) from the wand, changing their attribute from "armed" to "disarmed".

The defining function of a jinx is a form of light black magic; the effect of a spell is usually annoying but amusing, usually for the purpose of teasing and causing slight inconvenience to the target. In addition, some jinxes can only maintain their effects by focusing on them. Example: Many Obstacles - Obstacle Charm, which hinders the movement of the object to a certain extent.

The defining function of a curse is to always have a negative effect on the subject, and has more in common with black magic than with jinxes. The main purpose is to inconvenience the target. Example: Grinning Hula La - a poisonous curse that causes people to laugh continuously.

The defining function of a curse is the worst kind of black magic, intended to exert a strong negative effect on the subject. Avada Kedavra - Also known as the Death Curse or Killing Curse, kills the victim.

The defining function of a counterspell is to suppress the effect of another spell. Counter-spells are a mysterious type of spell that isn't elaborated upon much. There are currently six known types: jinx breaking spells, curse breaking spells, enchantment breaking spells, reduction spells, anti-jinxes and other counter-curses. Although the nomenclature is complicated, their common feature is to suppress another. Talisman. Example: All Curses End (curse stops), a counter-spell that is widely applicable to ordinary spells.

The defining function of a healing spell is to restore or improve the health of a living subject. Example: Heal as good as before – Heals minor injuries.

Allen was a little confused after reading the classification of spells. According to his previous understanding, among the magic schools in the world, Durmstrang was the only one with a tolerant attitude toward black magic and a reputation for teaching them. But now it seems that they are all petrified. It is also planned as a curse and is a dark magic. Why can the students of Hogwarts learn it? And the normal path to this petrification spell can be found in Curses and Counter-Curses by Windick Venridian. So Durmstrang's dark magic refers to magic that is more harmful, and Hogwarts has a more tolerant attitude towards these dark magic that are not strong enough and will not cause serious consequences? (Author's note: After copying this review from a book reviewer, the author went to the official website and Wikipedia to find additional information, and found that JK Rowling actually defined all the petrifications that Hermione had used on Neville in first grade as curses. It was a bit strange. No idea.)

I clicked on the magic spell category and randomly selected a magic spell.

It shows: Commonly used lock-picking spell - Alajo Cave Opening.

There are key points of the spell on it, and on the page next to it, there is a long-haired woman in a robe who seems to be made of shadows and demonstrates the waving movements of the wand over and over again. When she touches her with her hand, she actually makes a sound. The pronunciation of the spell is provided, making it easier for viewers to understand the pronunciation of the spell.

Although this woman made of shadows makes people feel a little weird, this function is really practical.

Allen suppressed the surprise in his heart and opened the book "Spell Application Strategies" he got yesterday.

The dark blue leather cover is also transformed into silver text in modern English, and the table of contents marks the page numbers where various simple spells are located.

What’s interesting is that the page number is not fixed. Occasionally a new spell will pop up. The introduction contains information such as what book the spell comes from and who the author is. Allen guessed based on the information he saw in the newspaper a few days ago and the last few spells in the catalog: Someone might have published a new spell book, and this book would be automatically included.

Allen found the magic spell he just found on the encyclopedia: the commonly used lock-picking spell-Alajo Cave Opening.

Summary: There are many ways to get through a locked door in the wizarding world (see Fire Charms, Excavation Charms, and Shatter Charms), but if you want to be inconspicuous, the Lockpicking Charm will be your best friend. Also known as the Thief's Friend, it is a charm that can open locked doors and windows that are not protected by magic. This spell can also be used to open a door locked by a Locking Charm. History: The lockpicking charm first appeared in Africa, but it is unclear who originally invented it. The spell was brought to England by Elton Esrick in the 17th century and has since spread throughout the world. Esric begins using this new spell to do evil in London. Whether it was a Muggle house or a wizard's house, he robbed them all. It wasn't until Londoner Burraghton Burley invented a new member of the anti-lock-picking spell - the anti-Alajo hole-opening spell.

Before Alaho Open, the most popular lock-picking spell was Door Open, which broke the lock but sometimes left a smoking hole in the keyhole. Even earlier, there was the "Open Sesame" method, which simply ripped the door off its hinges and chopped it all into firewood. All these spells are very crude and not as subtle as "Alaho Cave Opens".

This spell has been documented in several books, including Standard Spells, Elementary. This spell is taught in first years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The method of using the spell, the waving technique of the wand, and related counter-spells are also marked below in text form. Finally, examples are given, using cases recorded in magic history books to tell readers on what occasions someone has used this spell.

While reading the case, Allen gained a deeper understanding of the magical world.

Not just spells, but also social customs and customs.

In this way, during the rest of the vacation, Allen read these two books eagerly. The words were firmly remembered in Allen's mind, but Allen still needed to constantly digest and understand the audio and video materials - let The only thing he felt was a pity was that both books were more application-oriented and contained no specific knowledge of R&D theory.

"Alan, can you help me dictate some words? Muggle school is about to start, and I won't be able to see you for most of the day." Emily knocked on Alan's door.

"Come in, Emily." As an excellent teacher, Alan was also happy to tutor this Emily who was very close to him.

After dictating the words, Allen tried hard and taught Emily some associative memory methods. Regardless of whether she could understand it or not, he instilled in her some Muggle logical thinking concepts and trained the little one's memory ability - pure Children of blood wizards almost all receive basic education at home, which makes it theoretically more difficult for them to learn texts in the early stages of school than young wizards from Muggle and mixed-blood families.

After sending his reluctant sister back to her room, Allen also had to prepare for the start of Muggle school. The first thing was homework.

After reading the books required for homework, Allen took some time to read all the textbooks. It was really a simple thing to complete all the homework according to the homework register, especially for the difficulty of the British primary school textbooks. explain.

"Being the top student among this group of students should be a simple matter!"
