Chapter Twenty-Four: Caliber is Justice!
As a newcomer, as a newcomer who can't play for the time being and can only sit on the bench, Neville only needs to ride a broomstick to pick up the ball during Sunday's training, which is called practicing the basics. .`
Because Neville didn't have his own broomstick like Harry, he had to use the old antiques from the school, such as the Seven Stars. Comparing Harry's speed, Neville thought about Halo 2001, which was faster than Halo 2000, and he thought he understood why everyone seemed so unmotivated today.
There is still a gap between the facts and Neville's thoughts, Gryffindor and Slytherin have never had an advantage in broomsticks, so these veteran players were not hit by those Halo 2001, but were taken out by Wood to train in the early morning of the holiday, how could they be energetic.
But then again, after Neville finished his training, he counted his small coffers and found that he had saved less than twenty Galleons over the years, and twenty Galleons was roughly the equivalent of going from Hogwarts to Madagascar from a Halo 2001.
It was only at this point that Neville had a general impression of the Malfoys' wealth, and finally understood why someone like Malfoy's poor was willing to serve.
With or without money, life still has to be lived, but no one knows that Neville has been thinking about how to make enough money to buy a light wheel 2001 since this time??? .
It was a difficult thing to do, and Neville knew it, so he just jotted it down and got on with something else.
For example, why it was so difficult for him to cast the spell in accordance with Lì.
It should be said that Professor Flitwick still took great care of Neville, and when Neville asked him for help, he agreed without thinking, and he quickly made progress.
One day at the end of September, after Charms class ended, Professor Flitwick asked Neville to come to the office.
“...... As for the last time you asked me for help, I've found some reasons. ”
Under Neville's expectant gaze, Professor Flitwick didn't go around the bush and went straight to the point. He picked up Neville's wand and lightly lit the firewood in the fireplace with the [Flame Blazing], and the room was much warmer.
"There are two reasons for this, the first is that your wand doesn't work for you, and if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be Frank's. Professor Flitwick pointed to the twisted twisted shape of the wand's tail and smiled, "Actually, I should have noticed this a long time ago, your father's wand is not suitable for you, it is made of ash wood, so it will not be smooth when casting spells." ”
Professor Flitwick gave Neville a good overview of the basics of wands, and Neville listened carefully and took notes.
The ash wand is loyal to its only true owner, and cannot be inherited or gifted from its original owner, if it does, it loses its strength and skill, and this tendency is even more extreme if the wand core is unicorn hair......
Wizards who match the ash wand are usually convinced of their faith and determination, however, shamans who are impatient or overconfident and who insist on using this famous wood will be disappointed by the effect it has produced......
The ideal owner of the ash wand may be stubborn and must be brave, but never rude or arrogant......
With that in mind, Neville scratched his head and asked, "Uh, can I just change my wand?"
"It's not that simple. ”
Professor Flitwick's expression grimaced, and he returned his wand to Neville, then ran his hand over Neville's head, down his shoulder, his arm, and down his right hand.
"The wand is only a minor issue, as I just demonstrated, even if it is not easy to use, it can still be used after all. "But if you have a physical problem, it's a problem." ”
"What's the problem?" asked Neville.
"Your body is too strong. Professor Flitwick's mouth twitched a few times as he said this, "Seriously, I'm skeptical about whether you're human or not. ”
The implication is that your body is not human.
"Well, I don't quite understand what you mean. Neville scratched his head, which should have been a compliment, and asked, "Isn't it good to be physically strong, though?"
"Yes, it's a good thing. Professor Flitwick nodded, and then changed his words, "And this question of yours is actually not a problem, but an advantage, but now the table is full of flaws and shortcomings." ”
At this point, Professor Flitwick felt a bit of a headache, because what was going on was so complicated that even a fourth-year student might not be able to understand it if he had said it in jargon mixed with the script, let alone Neville.
However, Professor Flitwick has not been working in vain these days, and he still has come up with a statement that is relatively easy to accept and understand, and if Neville still doesn't understand, then he can't do anything about it.
"Normally, the magic is here. ”
Professor Flitwick gestured to his head, then he raised his hand and drew a virtual line on his body from his fingers to his head.
"Mana is transmitted to the hand through channels in Guò's body, which then enters the wand and provides energy for the spell. At this point, he glanced at Neville, and seeing that he was still a little confused, he went on to explain, "You can understand it this way, there is a water pipe in your body, and the magic in your head is like water, and it will flow down this water pipe to where it needs to be...... Do you understand?"
Neville nodded, the analogy was quite vivid and easy to understand.
Wiping the sweat from his head, Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to get to the point.
"Your problem is that the water pipes in your body are too thick for what you really need. Professor Flitwick gestured to Neville's with his arm, "If a [Flame] costs 10 mana, then you have 30 or more here. When casting a spell, it's not about the more mana the better, the movement of the wand, the spell, and the mana itself need a balance, and your mana has overflowed, upsetting the balance. ”
"Uh......"
"Think about it, if your spell often explodes, or if it's too powerful. Professor Flitwick reminded.
Neville thought about it for a moment, it seemed that it was really like this, explosions were often there at the beginning, and the levitation charm he used when facing Quirrell last semester was indeed too effective, and it directly stuck him up to the ceiling.
"If you want to improve on spells, my advice is to change your wand and practice your mana control and control. ”
"That...... How to practice?"
"Let's put this aside for now. Professor Flitwick said with a smile, "Actually, I have another suggestion, not to make any corrections, but to make the most of your strengths." ”
"I gave it a name, caliber is justice!"
