Chapter 9 Becoming Famous
Time flies quickly, a month has passed, and during this time Canaan has deliberately rented a small house not far from the privet community to practice magic.
Because this wand was obtained from Teresa and has not been reported to the Ministry of Magic, he is not afraid of being discovered by the Ministry of Magic.
During this time, with the help of the Philosopher's Hat, Canaan was already proficient in some basic magic, among which the two spells of Obstacles and Weapons Except for You were the most proficient in practice. Deresa said that these two spells are common offensive and defensive methods in combat, and they need to be used skillfully against enemies.
When wearing the Philosopher's Hat, Canaan could instantly cast both spells, and even without a hat, Canaan could cast both spells at the speed of an adult wizard, and he now felt that the hat was so useful and important to him that it was self-evident.
The only pity is that Canaan wants to learn the two kinds of advanced magic - Phantom Shifting and Phantom Spell. But there is no way to get started, and these difficult spells require a lot of mana, and Canaan's current magic power cannot cast these spells.
He found that these advanced spells required special spell-casting skills, and that even Canaan, with the Philosopher's Hat in hand, was very difficult to learn by reading books alone. In particular, the pronunciation and wand-waving gestures are only briefly mentioned in the books and are not described in detail. And these are indispensable factors for the success of spellcasting.
During this period, he also went to the thrift store many times to ask Delan for some spell-casting techniques, but he found that Delan did not have too many spells, so he only explained some spell-casting techniques to him.
When asked some in-depth questions, Delan always replied in a hesitant manner, saying that when he was in school, he didn't listen very carefully, and that he was only interested in making wands.
Oh, what a reasonable excuse!
Canaan is also going to include the Occlumency Charm in his learning process, after all, he has a lot of secrets in his heart, and it would be terrible to meet a wizard who likes to peek into other people's minds with his dementors. It's a pity that Delan hasn't learned the Occlumency Charm either, so he can't give him guidance.
"Looks like we need to figure out something, and that's why Hogwarts exists. Canaan thought of the Hogwarts professors, and if he could consult them, he would be able to help him quickly master a lot of advanced spells.
Canaan came downstairs from his bedroom and saw a small white kitten with a big palm chasing a stupid bird. This stupid bird is Syndra who has been bought for a month, and the white kitten is Helen's favorite pet when Canaan took her parents to Diagon Alley not long ago.
Her name is Alice, a Persian she-cat that is less than a month old. With a hint of magical blood and a fast runner, the pet shop owner, Fat Lady, patiently explained at the time that this was why it could be sold here.
Lincoln, on the other hand, bought a magic mirror that could tell the person in front of the mirror if they were neatly dressed. If you are disheveled and appear in front of the mirror, the mirror will glow red, and if you are dressed neatly, the mirror will glow green, which Canaan specially selected for Lincoln, and Lincoln said that he liked it.
"Oh, Alice, stop, don't bully Syndra. Helen came out of the kitchen, looked at the messy living room, and exclaimed with a frown. She regretted buying this mischievous kitten, and during this time, cat-bird wars had happened repeatedly, causing her a headache.
Alice looked at the stupid bird that was still hovering in the air, turned her head to look at Helen again, as if considering whether to listen to her master's orders, then shook her head, and returned to the sofa reluctantly.
"Canaan, clean up. Helen commanded skillfully. Ever since Canaan had demonstrated the magic of cleaning up in front of her, the cleaning of the house had been given to Canaan, who was known as practicing magic.
"Okay, Mom. Looking at his mother, who was more skilled than himself, Canaan couldn't help but laugh, and then waved his wand.
The cluttered living room suddenly returned to its original state.
When Sindra saw her master coming, she quickly flew to Canaan's shoulder and shouted defiantly at Alice, "Coo!"
Not to be outdone, Alice "meowed" and raised her paws.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, make your mother angry, be careful that you don't have anything to eat. After stopping the possibility of another exchange of fire between the two pets, Canaan went to the table and opened the Daily Prophet.
This was ordered by Canaan not long ago, and it costs 18 silver sike a month, which is not too expensive for Canaan. During this time, he received about 1,030 gold galleons from his part-time job at the Leaky Cauldron Bar and the books sold by the Blotted Bookstore, which was still minus the gift money purchased by Lincoln and Helen.
According to Canaan's understanding, the salary of an ordinary wizard is about 50 gold galleons a month, and the money earned by Canaan in a month is more than that of an ordinary wizard in a year, and the part-time performance of the Leaky Cauldron Bar is only available on weekends, otherwise he will earn more money.
As for Canaan's subscription to the Daily Prophet, there is also a reason, he skillfully flipped to the back of the newspaper, and the photo of the plate in the lower left corner was Canaan, and I saw him playing the violin, as if shaking gracefully with the music.
The caption next to the photo reads "Genius Violinist and Writer – Canaan Blaine". The following is an introduction to Canaan and many other comments.
"A gifted musician from a Muggle family!"
"Marvel is all over the Muggle world!"
"A genius boy under the red hat!"
From his first performance of Purple Passion, Canaan became famous at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and every time he played a new classic song, he attracted many wizards, and within a few weeks, he was awarded the title "Beethoven of the wizarding world". Canaan said that he was completely indifferent to the name, and that Beethoven didn't play the piano?
The Marvel series of books also attracted a large number of wizards to buy after they were sold at the Blotted bookstore, and Mrs. Rust also made a magic poster to promote the book. Futuristic technology, bizarre magic, and world-saving heroes have undoubtedly conquered many wizards.
Under the combination of the two, Canaan became more and more famous, so it attracted an interview with the Daily Prophet, which is half the official daily newspaper in the wizarding world, although Canaan's interview only occupies a small section, but it also shows that Canaan has a lot of fame.
Canaan opened the golden finger in his brain and found that the luck point had risen to 15 points, which was the second way he found not long ago to earn luck points, he had been relying on Harry and Hermione's favorability, but found that the luck point rose very slowly, until he became famous some time ago, he found that his luck point was rising sharply, and he was also happy to hear about the interview with the Daily Prophet.
Canaan also speculated that the source of the luck points did not come from important plot figures.
It's a change in the wizarding world, or a change in the original plot of the wizarding world, or possibly, you can also get luck points by increasing your influence in the wizarding world. However, these speculations need to be slowly verified.
Originally, it was just to earn some gold Galleons, but I didn't expect to get a lot of luck points, and I also found a new way of the source of luck points, which was also a surprise for Canaan.
"Canaan, breakfast is ready, tell your dad to come down and eat. Helen brought a plate of xiao long bao and a stack of sauces from the kitchen.
"Okay. Canaan looked at the new breakfast with joy, not long ago, under Canaan's protest, Helen finally changed her daily bread to a Chinese breakfast, soy milk fritters and xiaolongbao.
The food from China quickly conquered Lincoln's stomach, and only Helen said that it would take a lot of time to make the breakfasts, but she was ready to quit her job to concentrate on dressing the father and son, and the two new family members were not easy to take care of.
"Canaan, in a while, I am going to take you to meet your grandfather, he must be very happy to know that his grandson is a great writer. Helen gave a rare look of remembrance.
"Mom, how come I've never seen my grandfather?" and Lincoln rarely mentioned them in Canaan's memory.
"Your grandfather was a very stubborn man, and he didn't want to see your father, so I eloped with your father at the time. ”
"Wow!" Canaan thought the news was very exciting, but he didn't expect his parents to be so bold and decisive.
"And what about later?" Canaan was curious about the rest of the story.
"Later, your grandfather moved from England to the United States, and I didn't come when I got married to your father, and I haven't been in touch since. ”
Canaan looked at Helen's gradually reddening eyes and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, when I see my grandfather, I will definitely persuade him to come back, and when the time comes, we will live together as a family, don't be too sad." ”
At this time, Lincoln also came down from upstairs, and he also listened to the conversation between the two, and looked at the somewhat sad atmosphere, he laughed and said, "Canaan, did you bully your mother." He came to Helen's side, "My little baby Helen looks so good when she cries." Kiss one. As he spoke, he kissed Helen lightly out of the corner of the eye.
"Damn!" Canaan looked at this scene in a daze, and refreshed his perception of someone's shamelessness.
"Dad, can you!can't sprinkle dog food in front of me!" Canaan frowned, his tone subdued, and he went straight to the point.
Having spent a long time with Canaan, Lincoln also knew what it meant to sprinkle dog food. "There are only three of us in the family, who will eat this dog food if you don't eat it. As he spoke, he looked at Canaan in a funny way, "Moreover, Dad, this is the true meaning of teaching you to pick up girls." ”
Looking at the funny father and son, Helen burst into tears and laughed, "Okay, I'm fine." Let's eat, the buns are cold. Try to see if this sauce is delicious, I deliberately adjusted it according to the book. She dipped the sauce and sandwiched a xiaolongbao for the father and son.
Alice on the sofa was stretching and rolling, looking at the three people who were still noisy just now, and now they are full of warmth. Said I don't know what's going on.,Meow~,It's better to be a cat.,It's happily licking its paws.。
