The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

The next day, the rare sunlight in late autumn penetrated the gaps between the branches and shone on the ground of the Forbidden Forest.

Nearly half of November has passed, and there are few leaves left on the branches at this time, and winter is coming.

"If you don't come again, I will consider burying that car directly."

Hagrid led Erwin, his broad feet stepped on the thick fallen leaves, making a creaking sound.

They came to the location of the sinkhole, the half-abandoned Anglia car was inside, and a simple wooden shed made of vines and branches was added above the pit.

"I feel like it's some kind of animal, not like a normal Muggle machine." Hagrid shrugged, "I wanted to try to take care of it, but I couldn't figure out what it ate. Muggle petrol..."

Despite his rugged appearance, a gamekeeper has a delicate mind...only when dealing with animals.

"Mr. Weasley has modified it, and I don't think it will need to consider fuel like ordinary Muggle cars... After all, the broomstick can fly infinitely without fuel, right?" Erwin said .

The perpetual motion machine, which is absolutely impossible from a scientific point of view, is really not difficult for magic, and even only needs a few not very complicated rune sequences.

Momentum has never been an issue.

Erwin jumped into the pit.The Ford Anglia is dusty, the windshield is all chipped, the paint is starting to fade, the dent in the front of the car hasn't healed in the slightest, and it looks like it's going to be sent to the scrap yard Crushed into a pile of scrap iron.

Erwin tapped the part of its hood that was still intact, "I guess you can understand what I'm saying, if you're still 'alive', please do something."

The wheels of Anglia's classic car turned slightly, and the lights flickered.

Have a survival instinct?That is to say it behaves like a living thing, but its structure is obviously mechanical.

This is different from Quasimodo or even Esmeralda. They can show intelligence, but they don't have biological instinct. They are purely artificial creations, and they are tools in essence. Manufactured stable and reliable tools.

"What are you going to do?" Hagrid called from above, too big for the pit.

"It shouldn't be very difficult..." Erwin pointed his wand at the Anglia car, and began to imagine a three-dimensional diagram of its internal structure in his mind.

After reading the drawings sent by Professor Stewart, it was not difficult for him at all.

Let's hope Mr. Weasley didn't alter its internals too much.

"Restored as before!"

The so-called magic spell can actually be understood as the wizard giving instructions to the world, and the world itself can be regarded as a huge and sophisticated program machine, and only wizards have the authority to issue instructions to it.

Only giving instructions without affecting the execution process of the instructions, this is the most basic way of casting spells.

Even so with the Repairing Charm Erwin used.

But the simple method of casting spells does not mean that the difficulty is low.

Erwin felt that his magic power was unsustainable for a moment. Although it was only half a second, it showed that the consumption of magic power was already amazing. After all, with his bloodline, there should be no need to consider magic power regeneration.

The changes in the Anglia car in front of me are even more astonishing. The deflated car swells and recovers as if it were inflated. The dust on the car body has been removed, scratches have been repaired, and the missing wipers and lights have been changed back. Even the shattered windshield was completely repaired.

In detail, this repair spell actually includes multiple effects such as deformation, molecular replication and rearrangement, and material disappearance. If the spell corresponding to each effect is used to cast the spell separately, the required mana consumption is actually It will be much lower, that is to say, the more detailed the spell command is, the easier it is to execute, and the more macroscopic it is, the harder it is to cast.

However, how to combine the detailed spell effects to achieve the desired effect depends on the wisdom and ability of the wizard. Therefore, it is obviously more appropriate to use macro spells without worrying about mana consumption, because only one command is required. Knowing how to shorten the casting time, a wizard can only use one spell at a time, so the more things that one spell can do, the better.

Combined spell casting and macro spell casting are just two different ways of casting spells, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

This kind of cognition that Erwin naturally developed when he was studying magic will not appear in the advanced charms textbook until the sixth grade, which made him complain again that the basic education provided by Hogwarts is actually a specialist level .

The car was repaired and it was as good as new from the factory.

"Amazing." Hagrid smacked his lips after witnessing all this. "To be able to fix such a large thing directly, many adult wizards are unable to do this."

This is a common compliment that adults give to minors. Many little wizards are quite good at it, but for Erwin, the effect is mediocre.

"Should be all right," he said. "Now it's time to get it up."

"I brought a lasso." Hagrid took out a coil of thick rope, "but I probably need to make some other tools."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Erwin pointed his wand at his feet, he slowly floated into the air, and stepped on the ground with one step.

Then he aimed his wand at the Angria car, causing it to also slowly float up, out of the pit, and suspended in mid-air.

Hagrid gave the handle and turned the old-fashioned family car that didn't weigh much. Erwin controlled the buoyancy and slowly lowered it to the ground.

And when the tires just touched the ground, the classic Anglia car started the engine suddenly, as if it was going to drive away suddenly.

This is a completely normal reaction of a wild animal who is suddenly free after being captured.

It also shows that it has indeed been completely repaired.

But Erwin's reaction was faster. When its wheels first started to turn, the kinetic energy that had not been revoked was activated again, allowing it to float again.

If the wheels cannot grip the ground, it means that there is no ability to move, which is the limitation of a car.

However, the speed of Angria's car did not slow down. Although the wheels were idling, it was moving forward—it seemed that Erwin's repair spell repaired all the damaged flying devices.

This is somewhat unexpected.

But it's not a big problem, Erwin is not alone here, Hagrid swung the noose, and the noose pinched the front of the car with precision.

Hunters who specialize in strength are pretty scary.

Hagrid let out a loud roar, and his thick arms tensed violently. The Angria car couldn't do any resistance under the huge force, and suddenly fell to the ground. scum.

Erwin estimated that Hagrid's strength was not much weaker than Quasimo's.

That's pretty serious damage for a living organism, but it's pretty much insignificant for a car, with its engine roaring and its tires kicking up dust.

But it couldn't get out of Hagrid's control at all. The gamekeeper's posture was like taming a wild horse, and he didn't seem to feel much effort at all.

After realizing that he couldn't break free, the classic Angria car stopped suddenly. Hagrid was a little caught off guard, and his body was a little unstable for a while, but the classic car started to reverse, as if it wanted to take this opportunity to hit Hagrid.

However, the gamekeeper still easily pressed against the rear of the car, "Haha, I can't let you slip back into the forest this time! Be good, I won't let you suffer."

Seeing that Hagrid could handle it by himself, Erwin was not in a hurry to do it. The gamekeeper spoke as if he was facing a disobedient animal. Erwin found it quite amusing. Obviously Hagrid also agreed with him. Also found something unusual about this car.

It does look like some kind of animal.

The classic car didn't like Hagrid's reassurance at all. It desperately wanted to overturn the big guy and get out of his control. After finding that it couldn't be done, it started trying to break free again. During the struggle, the car body became potholed again. .

Erwin's Repairing Charm was basically in vain.

Thankfully Mr. Weasley had only converted such a light family car, and what he was going to get was a main battle tank, so that would be a lot of fun.

Hagrid had no choice but to hold this car for a while. Although it looked like an animal, it was still a car in essence. It didn't need to eat, and it didn't feel pain, which meant that it had no possibility of being tamed, because the taming process was the most difficult. The important reward and punishment mechanism cannot be realized on it.

Erwin has also dealt with several animals, such as Saby, and Norbeta, which is far away in Romania, so he also knows how to make an animal with a low IQ obedient, nothing more than carrots and sticks.

Yet a car needs neither carrots nor sticks.

So it seems... there is no way to make it obedient?

Just take it apart?

Erwin watched this person compete with each other, and he suddenly had a thought.

He had just learned a brand new spell the day before.

A curse, stealthy, invisible and effective.

He just passed his wand, no spell needed.

The Anglia jalopy stopped suddenly, and Erwin was sure he saw it shudder.

It feels this pain from the soul.

It didn't make any movement for a full dozen seconds, Hagrid was surprised, but suddenly the classic car exploded with incredible force, and he had to tighten the noose again.

After more than ten seconds, it stopped again. It should be that the pain hit again. The effect of the curse of pain is to make the target feel pain, but it is not continuous, but intermittent.

That's why it's even more tormenting, even a basic curse is a curse.

And the pain it caused...doesn't seem to be the normal level that Riddle said.

That's right, the curse can be cast on this car, which means-it has a soul.

Erwin guessed that Mr. Weasley had probably implanted the spirit of a dog or a horse into the classic car, giving it some kind of domestic animal quality.

Since the soul is involved, it is inevitable to use some invisible magic. No wonder Mrs. Weasley has such an attitude. She is eager to get rid of the relationship with this car.
