Connor's Hogwarts

In the end, several people gave up the idea of ​​finding a place to swim, because they did not reach a consensus on the choice of swimming pool.

But the weather is indeed sultry. Although the temperature inside Hogwarts Castle is quite... passable. As long as you don't leave the castle, you won't feel very hot, but it's only tolerable.As long as you run outside the confines of the castle, you will be soaked with sweat.

Connor has lived in a cabin in the woods for so many years...naturally he knows that there is no such thing as air conditioning in the wizarding world - he used to not go out at all in the summer, and his home was always cool in the impression.

Since there is no air conditioner in the wizarding world, how will wizards spend the hot summer?

We already knew that there is nothing that cannot be solved by magic. If there is, it means you don’t know how to use magic.

Connor wasn't going to be cool magic, but he knew where there were cool spots in school.

......

"Hi, hello, Connor, this is really a rare visitor. It's rare to see you come to me."

"Hello, Professor Flitwick, excuse me." Connor knocked on the door and walked into Professor Flitwick's office. Professor Flitwick was standing on a stool and processing some documents.

In Hogwarts, the professors' offices are the coolest places, and Professor Flitwick's office is the coolest among them, so Connor ran over to use the air conditioner.

"Connor, what's the matter? Are you here to ask about your final exam results? Don't worry about this, I will give you full marks." Flitwick straightened his robe and said to Connor with a smile.

"No, no, professor, I'm not here to ask that, I'm here to ask you about magic."

"Oh? Is there any magic that our little geniuses in Ravenclaw don't understand?" Professor Flitwick said with a smile. Connor is the most outstanding student in this class. As a Ravenclaw Professor Flitwick naturally likes this good student of his college very much.

"Ah, how could it be... I still have a lot to learn... Thank you for your praise." Connor scratched his head, then looked around the professor's office, and said: "Professor, I have been studying a project by myself recently. The magic pattern model, but I still feel that it’s still a little bit short and I can’t make it. Professor Dumbledore asked me to ask you for advice.”

"Oh? New type of magic pattern!? It's amazing, come on, let me see..." Flitwick put his hands on the table, looking very interested.

Connor took out his little red book, and Professor Flitwick took it, pushing his glasses to observe carefully.

"This is... the magic pattern of the double-sided mirror... or a simplified magic pattern! Did you do it Connor? It's amazing, I have rarely seen such an outstanding student like you... And... this is Your family, no, this is a magic pattern that I have never seen before, is it also a magic pattern of painting magic, so you want to fuse these two magics? Hmm! Amazing! What a genius idea!"

Professor Flitwick is worthy of being a master of spells. He figured out all the details of the Little Red Book in just two or three strokes. Connor nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. I'm trying to draw magic." The connection' magic pattern is combined with the double-sided mirror magic pattern, and after my research, I found that this is feasible. The two magic patterns are indeed similar, but I encountered a little difficulty in the combination of the magic patterns... .Look here, there is no way for the pattern M on this corner to resonate with the pattern K on this plane..."

"Indeed, maybe you should change your mind and add the G pattern at the diagonal position on the diagonal. According to the magic pattern triangle stability principle, the same effect should be achieved..."

"I also considered this, but the effect was not ideal, so I..."

"..."

Mogwenology is a broad and profound subject. In fact, most wizards only know how to use spells, but they are not proficient in the principles of spell formation.

This is also normal, just as many people can drive a car, but they don't know how the car is made.

Regardless of the back and forth discussions between Connor and Professor Flitwick, in fact, his level of knowledge is no more than nine years of compulsory education, and he knows the working principle of a car's internal combustion engine—it's just a glimpse of the door. .

And Professor Flitwick is also an old technician, more than enough to teach Connor.

"So, according to Geralt's central limit symmetry principle, you only need to add a V pattern at this position... and your magic pattern will be successful." Professor Flitwick finished explaining.

"So that's it, that's it, I completely understand! Thank you, Professor!" Connor said happily.

"Hahaha, I just helped a little, but you've already done most of the work! Connor, you're amazing to have such a deep understanding of magic patterns in the first grade." Professor Flitwick Said with a smile.

"Hey, I just like magic."

"I like it! That's right, Connor! I like magic! We all like magic!" Flitwick clapped his hands with an expression of finding his confidant: "Now, there are too many students who are really willing to calm down and study magic patterns. No, Connor, stick to your heart, I believe you will have great achievements in the future!"

"Ahaha, thanks for your kind words." Connor felt a little embarrassed to be praised so much by the professor.

In fact, there are not many people who are willing to study the magic pattern, and it is still the same reason: as long as you can drive, who cares how the car is made.

Today's wizards are all driving previously man-made cars, and there are fewer and fewer people who can build new cars.This phenomenon in the wizarding world is obviously unreasonable, and Connor sees all of this.

After talking about business, Connor had time to chat with Professor Flitwick about other things...

"Professor, why is your office so...cool?" Connor asked pretending not to care.

Flitwick stroked his beard with a smile, and said with a smile: "So, actually, you think the weather is too hot, so you came here to enjoy the cool, right?"

Connor froze, scratched his head embarrassingly and said, "Hey hey, I'm a little curious."

Flitwick shook his head and said helplessly: "You kid... Let me tell you, you can almost make that magic pattern model yourself..."

"But since you asked, let me tell you about it. In fact, you will learn this knowledge in the sixth and seventh grades, but I think it's okay to tell you about it."

"Yeah!" Connor nodded repeatedly, sat upright, and listened carefully.

"In our spells class, the first and second graders all teach some simple spells. From the third grade, we start teaching runes, and in the sixth grade, we start teaching you... elemental magic."

"Elemental magic?" Connor tilted his head.

"Yes, do you still remember the spells that the mysterious man used that night when you fought against him?"

"Are you referring to the wind blade and fire spell?"

"That's right, these are all elemental magics. Elemental magics are the most commonly used magics by ancient wizards. Although wizards are no longer used to using these magics in modern times, the inheritance has not been cut off."

"In fact, our four houses all have their representative elements. Gryffindor represents the element of fire, Slytherin represents the element of water, Hufflepuff represents the element of earth, and we, Ravenclaw, represent the element of wind. element."

"Elemental magic is mainly about the composition of these four elements. We wizards also believe that our world is made up of these four elements..."

"Actually, the inscription of elemental magic is the simplest. It has only four core magic patterns, and each element corresponds to a magic pattern. Other magic patterns are based on these four core magic patterns. Made of..."

"The characteristics of elemental magic are that it is simple and crude, but consumes a lot of magic power, so it is put into higher grades to learn. Generally, a young wizard like you will run out of magic power after using one or two elemental magics. Of course...you are different, you have more magic power reserves, so I don't mind telling you this."

"Because elemental magic will cause a lot of waste of magic power, and the efficiency of using magic power is far inferior to the law-type magic we commonly use, so elemental magic will gradually withdraw from the stage of history."

"However, elemental magic has not completely disappeared. In fact, elemental magic has always existed in our lives."

"For example, my office is so cool under the influence of elemental magic."

"I see! You used magic related to the wind element in the room! Professor! I want to learn this!" Connor's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help interjecting, this is the magic he wanted to learn!In one thought, the kind that is frozen for thousands of miles!That's the real mage, okay?

"Um, this..." Professor Flitwick touched his beard, hesitated, jumped down from the chair, walked to the window, and removed a piece of inlay on the window. Connor looked very... The familiar gem was handed to Connor, and he said:

"Thermostatic gems, one gold galleon per piece, can be recharged with magic and used repeatedly. A must-have for home and travel... Connor, haven't you... never seen it at home?"

Connor took the gem and was stunned. He recalled that he had indeed seen this kind of gem on the window of his grandfather's house. At that time, he thought it was just a decoration. It turned out... It turns out that the air conditioner in the magical world is a long-lasting Is it like this? ? !

"You are right. This gem is indeed engraved with inscriptions related to the element of wind and water. In fact, this kind of magic prop that regulates indoor temperature is very common... Connor, you... rarely go shopping. Bar?"

"This...is...yes" Connor blushed a little. As a young wizard who came from a wizarding family, it seemed a bit embarrassing that he didn't know this common sense.

"That's not surprising. You are still young and it's normal not to know. In fact, traces of elemental magic are everywhere in our lives. Oil lamps engraved with fire elemental magic, thermostats engraved with wind elemental magic, and water elemental magic are engraved on them. A drinking fountain, a bulldozer engraved with earth element magic..." Professor Flitwick said with a smile:

"Connor, the world is huge, you have to observe it carefully, otherwise you will always miss a lot..."
