The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Chapter 7 Hagrid's Invitation

Of course Sissy knew that Hagrid was a half-blood giant, but it was only when she saw it that she truly felt what a giant was.

She could clearly feel the ground shaking as she followed Hagrid.

Since Hagrid was several times taller than Sissy, she had to speak louder, "Thank you, Hagrid."

Hagrid leaned down, and it was easier to communicate this way, "It's just a small matter, did you buy so many books when you first entered school? If I remember correctly, the textbooks for the first grade should not be so thick."

"Some are other books I bought. By the way, Hagrid, do you know "The Invisibility Book of Invisibility"?" Sissy took the opportunity to ask.

"I've heard of it, but I'm ashamed that I haven't actually seen it. Why, you probably already bought it?"

"That's right! It's the one specially wrapped in cloth. When I went to the bookstore, I couldn't see it and tripped over it."

Sissy seems to be happy because of this fall, after all, there are not many chances of being tripped by this kind of thing, isn't it?

"Hahaha——no wonder the clerk reminded me not to drop it when it was delivered. If it falls out, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again in this life."

"Do you want to read it?" Sissy felt that Hagrid must not know how to read this book, but they could study it together.

Hagrid was also interested in this, and gently put the book on the ground and asked her to take out that one.

Sissy unwrapped the package, touched the position of the book and picked it up, "Hagrid, try it too, it's just here that your fingers can't get through."

Hagrid poked it, it was really novel, but it seemed inappropriate as a book, so he asked Sissy: "But how are you going to look at it? It's invisible."

Sissy spread her hands helplessly, "I don't know, I think the professors in the school might know how to make him visible, such as a visible potion or something."

"It's worth a try, Eugenie. I have a bottle of revealing potion here. I got it from a traveler and keep it in my hut. You can try it." Hagrid smiled and said, "By the way , do you like magical creatures?"

Since she was a child, Cici liked to play with flowers and plants and raise small animals, although sometimes she did not succeed in raising them.

"I haven't seen magical creatures yet, but I think I'll like them, except maybe the ones that are too big or ferocious..." Sissy replied truthfully.

"It doesn't matter. When you really understand them, you will find that they are actually cute children. I will probably stay at the school gate when I am free. You can come and find me after class." Hagrid's love for magical creatures Almost obsessive, he desperately wants to find a partner with whom he can share - even a child, age doesn't matter.

"I'm glad you invited me, I will definitely find time to come." Sissy also wanted to see with her own eyes where the magical creatures are.

"It's here, the dormitory building for foreign students."

Sissy took the book and thanked her again. Hagrid turned and walked a few steps away, then turned around and gave her a wink, "Don't forget our agreement."

"I'll remember!" Sissy waved Hagrid goodbye.It took her two trips to move all the books up. Fortunately, the invisible book was not lost.

There are too many things I bought today, and Sissy took a lot of effort to arrange them neatly. It's hard to imagine moving all these things to the new dormitory after the branch.

Sissy was worrying, and suddenly realized that she is already a wizard now, why not try to use the method of a wizard to solve the problem?

A spell suitable for beginners, which can be used to carry things - the floating spell, it's perfect!Let the object float first, and then push it gently, it will be solved.

Go ahead and learn now!

Sissy recalled the plot of Seamo's blasting in the movie. She looked at the innocent roommate beside her, smiled wryly and decided not to practice in the dormitory, but to learn the theoretical knowledge first.

It was still some time before the lights were turned off, and she was not used to the lighting environment without electric lights in the room. There was a magic lamp on the small table beside the bed, but it was not bright enough.

She opened "Standard Spells (Elementary)". This book is not thick at all, probably because the first grade can't learn too many spells. The floating spell is easy to find on the first few pages.

She moved her lips and read the contents of the book silently. This method of reading is not fast, but it can help her immerse herself in it and strengthen her memory.

The book has a detailed explanation of this spell:

The Levitation Charm is a spell that can make objects float in the air. When mastered, it can help wizards lift objects hundreds of times their own weight.

Spell: Wingardim Leviosa

This kind of spell is easy to learn, but it is not so easy to actually carry heavy objects.Beginners are recommended to use goose feathers for basic exercises. After the goose feathers can be successfully lifted into the air, gradually use heavier objects to consolidate training...

It turns out that the strength of the spell is closely related to the proficiency of the user, not just learning it will definitely be useful.

If she was content with just learning to levitate a feather, learning the spell would surely do nothing but allow her to pass her class test.

Below the text introduction is a diagram of gestures when casting a spell, and the movement of swinging the staff is disassembled into two pictures.

Sissy wanted to get closer to see clearly, but her fingers accidentally touched the picture, and the picture suddenly moved.In the first picture, the wand is drawn horizontally in a circular arc, while in the other picture, the wand is raised and then slightly flicked downward.

With the moving picture, she quickly understood the general movement, and a line of small words was marked below the picture:

Note: When chanting the mantra, the word "jia" should be protracted, the second half of the sentence "Ao" should be accented, and the word "Sa" should be short

This line of words is very inconspicuous and written in small characters under the picture. Is it specially arranged so that students will not be able to see it?

As a textbook, this design is too unreasonable. No wonder Ron poked around when he cast the spell for the first time. He must not have read it carefully.

Sissy learned the gestures in the book and practiced with her fingers instead of a wand. Although she couldn't cast a spell without a wand, she could still feel the magic fluctuations from her arms to her fingertips when she chanted the spell.

She really wants to try the effect quickly, maybe the first spell will be successful!

Find an open place to try tomorrow, let's stop here today, there is no more explanation about this spell in the textbook.

She closed the spell book contentedly, and there was still time, which one should I read next?

"A Thousand Wonderful Herbs and Mushrooms" is just this one, herbs and fungi, it looks interesting, and maybe Hagrid knows them.

Baixian is a powerful healing and restorative herb that can be used raw to heal superficial wounds.

Do not eat the leaves of Ariotte (hyena tree), as eating them by mistake will cause uncontrollable laughter. No effective detoxification method has been found yet, and the poisoned person can only maintain the original state until the toxicity subsides after about 1 day.

……

After reading some Sici, I found that the miraculous herb is quite similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but there is no such introduction as sweet and calm.There is also aconitum in traditional Chinese medicine, and of course it is not the same kind as chamaema aconitum.

Hyena tree leaf poisoning is similar to the laughing and dancing symptoms that can be produced by eating wild mushroom poisoning.

Before crossing, Sissy liked to read some weird books and learned a lot of little knowledge, but unfortunately, the school never took these tests, and the knowledge of "doing nothing" came to the magic world, but it was a serious teaching content, which is too happy Come on!
