The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Hagrid shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head helplessly: "Doo has always been like this, but he is easily shy."

"Very good, very cute!" Sissy's words made Dudu draw circles faster, and her long ears drooped down.

Sissy leaned forward and saw Dudu's appearance at close range. She looked very young, and her skin was not wrinkled like some other elves.

Seeing that she was so close to him, Dudu moved his body nervously, and then ran away a few steps.

She didn't dare to look up at Sissy, but just bowed to her, "You—haven't eaten yet, Dudu will do it now."

Sissy herself is considered relatively introverted, and she doesn't take the initiative to talk to others. It seems that she has become friends with Phillips and Hagrid so far.It never occurred to her that a house-elf could be more shy than she was.

Most of the students hadn't reported yet, and the elves had an easy job. They helped Dudu quickly complete a luxurious meal and brought it to Hagrid and Sissy.

Sissy's eyes were almost straightened: the golden fried crab bucket, the sizzling French snails, the Spanish fried rice filled with various seafood...

These dishes also come from different countries. Cici was worried that she could only eat the famous dish "Looking at the Stars" here.

Her eyes were glistening, and her stomach was rumbling that it was ready for battle to the fullest, and it was waiting for a full meal.

Where is this magic school?If a Michelin three-star chef is lucky enough to see the culinary skills of the elf, he must squeeze his head to learn from the teacher!

The outer layer of the deep-fried crab bucket is crispy, and when you bite it off, the scalding soup bursts out with delicious flavors of crab meat and crab roe.

Then serve a spoonful of seafood fried rice, yellow and orange gen rice dyed with saffron, with plenty of shrimp, black clam, squid... Every bite is a different fresh experience, and there is a hint of mystery in it Mouth-watering special aroma.

After a while, Sissy's belly swelled up, and she burped contentedly and leaned back on the chair.

Only then did Dudu serve the final dessert, the crystal light green pudding was carefully decorated with small daisies.

Sissy supported her overloaded stomach and straightened her body as much as possible, she had to taste it no matter what.

The simple mint fragrance relieves greasiness and refreshes the mind, and the silky taste easily slides into the esophagus without chewing, which makes Sissy's stomach work harder to digest.

"Huh—thank you, Hagrid, and you, I'm too full." Sissy let out a long breath before she could speak.

The elves whispered to each other, and she clearly saw some of them sneaking a glance at her and covering their mouths with a chuckle.

As a representative, the older elves thanked Sissy for her evaluation of them, and expressed their welcome to come back in the future.Anyway, Hagrid was already a "big eater" who came here frequently.

Sissy slowed down and was finally able to support the table and stand up. Looking at the table, she suddenly remembered the scene when the food was changed just now.

The elves can successfully cast all kinds of spells directly with one finger, but the wizard has to read the spell and use the wand. What is the reason?

Sissy couldn't help asking the elves, they looked at each other in blank dismay, as if elves and wizards had cast spells like this since birth, and this was normal.

As for the reason, they didn't think about it.

More powerful wizards can cast silent spells without spells with practice, but they still can't get rid of wands.

"That... I don't know about wizards, but my own spellcasting experience may be of some help to you." Dudu's voice was still so soft and weak.

Sissy's eyes lit up, and she encouraged Dudu to go on in detail.

"It's like this. When I was young, sometimes I was not proficient. For example, before lighting a fire, I would close my eyes and concentrate on thinking: my firewood is burning, and I imagine how it will burn."

Everyone looked at Dudu and listened to her carefully, which made her get under the long table nervously.

Sissy wanted to bend down to persuade her to get out, but she tried, but her stomach was so cramped that she was not allowed to complete this action.

So Dudu hid under the table and continued to explain, "After imagining, I will try to gather the power on my fingers. At this time, I just open my eyes and point at the object to release it."

This process is similar to Sissy's feeling when using the wand, the difference is that she gathers the magic power on the wand.

"Do you also feel this way, Hagrid?" Sissy thought for a while and decided to speak more clearly, "I mean, the feeling of magic power gathering from all parts of the body to the wand."

Hagrid shook his head. "I've never felt that way."

Sissy was a little disappointed, maybe that wasn't the point.

Hagrid saw her confusion, and joked, "It's because of my thick skin, I don't feel it if I have a thick skin."

Sissy couldn't help laughing, and I'll ask Professor McGonagall tomorrow, maybe she will agree.

After returning to the dormitory, Sissy was still struggling with the problem of casting spells. Everyone else seemed to be able to cast spells instinctively, and they didn't need to know why.

But Sissy has been unable to control it well, and she must figure out the reason as soon as possible.

She skimmed through "Standards of Spells" and "Principles of Magic", and none of the chapters mentioned this issue.

Sissy was like a deflated ball, leaning against the bed listlessly.Especially this "Principles of Magic", she originally had great hopes, but it turned out that the book only talked about the ancient origin of magic and the evolution of spells.

She tried to find something useful from a bunch of messy thoughts.

Recalling the knowledge learned before, the great scientist Newton’s contribution to classical mechanics needless to say, but he turned to theology in his later years and proposed the “first driving force”—that is, the hand of God.

Qianqian faintly felt that it was right to think about it this way.

The root cause of superstitions is that human beings' current scientific level is too limited, and some phenomena cannot be proved theoretically, which is why superstitions arise.

Since magic can really exist, then the principle of magic is the principle of science!I should try to understand magic with science.

For example, the floating spell she is practicing, if an object with mass can remain still, it must be affected by a balance force.

In the vertical direction, besides gravity, there must be another force with the same magnitude and opposite direction.

Sissy has never seen any wizard cast the floating spell, there is a strong wind under the object, so the influence of air pressure can be ruled out.

The invisible and imperceptible force must be the magnetic force, which is the same as the maglev train.

What the wizard needs to do is to control the electrons in the object to gather at the top or bottom to form a state similar to a magnet, and at the same time control the ground below the object to form a magnet of the same polarity, and the opposite sex will naturally repel each other to appear in a floating state.

Thinking about it this way, many things can be explained clearly. Sissy sent her feathers to the sky in agitation before, which is a typical example of too strong magnetic force.
