Chapter 46 Charms Lesson on Halloween

Snape's words kept echoing in Loren's ears, making him think about immortality.

There are many paths to immortality in the wizarding world, but they are not perfect.

The ghost of Eagle House-Ms. Gray, formerly known as Helena Ravenclaw, is the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founding four giants.After she was killed by the bloody Barrow, she turned into a ghost and stayed in Hogwarts for thousands of years.

Professor Binns of the History of Magic can give lectures and assign homework to answer students' questions, almost the same as before.

With a portrait of wisdom, the sorting hat has been passed down for thousands of years.They have memory and can think, is this considered a kind of longevity.

Hai Erbo created the Horcrux, but the cause of death is very vague, only some guesses without evidence.

Voldemort explored the mystery of the Horcrux, made himself bloodthirsty and crazy.

Nicole Flamel's elixir was only meant to keep him alive, and his body became fragile over time.Perhaps in a few more decades, a gust of wind could blow Nicole to pieces.

It seems that there are roads that can reach longevity everywhere, and it seems that there is a cliff in front of every road.

Loren has a guess. In fact, the closest to Changsheng is Principal Dumbledore.

The Dumbledore family has a phoenix that can be reborn from nirvana.

Everyone who has learned the Patronus Charm knows that the Patronus is not a magical animal, but Dumbledore's Patronus is a phoenix.Dumbledore is also very good at fire magic, and with the help of Fox, he can use space magic in Hogwarts.

So what about the ability of Nirvana?

Will Dumbledore also be able to rise from the ashes, but in the end he chose to die himself.Even after death, Dumbledore can still meet Harry in the Misty Realm, which is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary control over life.

"Flamel, can you practice the elixir of life without using the Philosopher's Stone?" Loren chose to ask Flamel for help.

Flamel sorted out his long memory carefully: "In fact, there are still many legends about immortality..."

Flamel told about the golden apple in Norse mythology, the flat peach in Eastern mythology, the Holy Grail of Jesus, and the legendary Fountain of Youth.

"Civilizations separated by oceans and mountains have very similar legends about immortality, and some legends obviously share the same prototype."

Loren thought down this line of thought, "It is possible that the former immortals left behind legends when they traveled through these civilizations."

"Before entering the age of sailing, only wizards could cross the barriers of oceans and mountains." Flamel guided Loren's thinking.

Loren clapped his hands and suddenly understood, "A long time ago, there was a wizard who achieved longevity, and then used his long life to explore the whole world!" His tone was very excited, without stagnation, "It's like Nico Same sir!"

Loren had new doubts again, "Then what about the former immortals, where are they now?"

Flamel didn't continue to explore with Loren, he flew into the air, "Who knows, maybe their longevity is also flawed, and they still couldn't escape the pursuit of death in the end."

"It's time for us to start today's content."

It is difficult to have a real answer to trace the truth behind the ancient legends.In the end, Loren treated these conversations as after-school chats, and Snape's words were temporarily put on hold.

……

Loren has classes at Hogwarts during the day, language and duel classes at the Book of Wonders at night, goes to Snape's office on Fridays to help deal with potions, learns about the configuration of various potions, and talks to Hermione in the library on weekends. Eat the tome together.

This kind of life pattern is simple, time passes unconsciously, and it will soon be the eve of Halloween.

The elves have been preparing for the dinner since the morning, and the hallway has been filled with a sweet scent of pumpkin. Smelling this smell, it seems that the sweet and thick flesh of pumpkin is in the mouth, making people unconsciously secrete saliva .

During Charms class, the sweet smell of pumpkin in the classroom became more intense.

In such an environment, only Hermione could concentrate on listening to the lecture and take notes without any distractions.

"It smells so good!" Loren sighed from time to time.

Ron and Seamus swallowed and nodded approvingly.

Harry sat beside him, stretched his head over, and said in a low voice, "Neville's Raffle is gone again, please look around and see if he's under the desk."

This is a very common thing, and everyone bowed their heads skillfully, looking for toads on the ground.

"Merlin's beard~" Ron opened his mouth wide and sighed, "I think I might have found it."

Everyone followed his line of sight and said "Oh!"

Raffle had already jumped onto the stool that Professor Flitwick was stepping on, and was about to jump on the professor, as if he wanted to jump onto the podium through the professor's body.

Neville couldn't bear to watch, he lowered his head, almost buried it in the table.

Raffle jumped twice and landed on Professor Flitwick's shoulder.

Professor Flitwick was standing on a stool and was talking about the Levitation Charm when a toad jumped out and trampled his white beard.

The students below all laughed, except Neville, who wanted to turn himself into a toad and jump out of the classroom.

Professor Flitwick wasn't angry, he also pouted his nose and smiled, "It seems that I speak so well that even Toad wants to get close to me!"

The students made more cheerful noises, and Neville looked up, covering his blushing face with his hands, and looked at Professor Flitwick through his fingers.

"Just to show you!" Professor Flitwick said, turning his head to look at the toad on his shoulder, and pointed his wand at Lefe, "[Wingardim Leviosa]"

The toad flew into the air and circled the classroom at a constant speed.

"Cool!" There were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

Raffle flew past each student, and finally stopped in front of Neville and landed on his desk.

Neville looked at Professor Flitwick, who was smiling gently at Neville, "Take care of your pet, next time it runs around, let it fly a few more times."

Neville was too excited to speak, and kept nodding.

Professor Flitwick ignored the episode, "Let's move on to the Levitation Charm, which was invented by a wizard in the 16th century, Gareth Hobart..."

After the scene just now, the students wanted to learn the Levitation Charm even more, and their spirits became more concentrated. The influence of the pumpkin smell was thus weakened a lot.

Soon, Professor Flitwick showed his skills again. He sent a handful of feathers into the air with the Levitation Charm and distributed them to two students in each group.

According to the position, Harry and Neville are in a group, Loren is in a group with Hermione, and Ron is in a group with Seamus.

"Okay, don't forget that subtle wrist movement we've been training!" Professor Flitwick stood taller, and he added another pile of books on the stool, "Swipe, shake, remember Shake it."

"It's also very important to read the spell correctly. The wizard Baruffeo said a wrong letter. He said f instead of s, and found himself lying on the ground with a bison standing on his chest!" After some exhortations, the professor let The students start to try.

Professor Flitwick kept an eye on them, in case bison suddenly appeared in the classroom or something.
