Chapter 22: Halloween Eve
During this time, Ryan was constantly busy learning various knowledge in order to increase his strength.
What pleased him the most was that he had found the correct use of the knowledge in the Winter House Industrial Handbook. As industrial knowledge, the book contains quite a few references to various materials.
And these contents can obviously provide a lot of help to Ryan in the study of Transfiguration. As we all know, the three elements of Transfiguration are magic, the understanding of magic itself, and the mastery of various material properties. And this knowledge of various materials can strengthen Lane's grasp of the properties of various substances. This also allowed Ryan to add a lot of points to Gryffindor in the Transfiguration class.
Maybe it's because I'm so busy right nowβin addition to my homework for all my homework, I also have to find time to practice the new knowledge I've gained from the grocery store in the worlds. - So, when Ryan suddenly realized that he had written a letter every Saturday and had written his ninth letter to his family, he was in disbelief.
When he woke up one morning, Ryan smelled the smell of roasted pumpkins wafting through the castle. He knew it was Halloween coming.
(Looks like the trolls are coming out?) Let's keep an eye out for the next few days.) While desperately thinking about how to deal with a possible troll event, Ryan walked to the Charms classroom with his textbook in his hand.
Professor Flitwick seemed to be having a good day, probably because the holiday was approaching and the festive atmosphere was getting stronger.
After class, the professor announced that he thought they could start making objects fly. Ever since they saw Professor Flitwick flying Neville's toad around the classroom, the students had been eager to try this skill.
Professor Flitwick divided the class into teams of two to begin the training. Harry's partner is Seamofinigan. And Ron is going to work with Hermione Granger.
Harry, you look happier, because Neville had been hoping to swap things with Seamus. So Ryan was staring at Harry a little depressed now. After all, no one likes that their partner is a person who is prone to all kinds of accidents.
Ron and Hermione Granger looked annoyed, and Hermione hadn't spoken to them since the day Harry's broomstick arrived. If you want to say that you didn't like each other before, at most, you will nod your head when you meet each other. And now both sides basically treat each other as air, completely ignoring each other.
This situation also made it embarrassing for Ryan and Hermione to meet either Harry or Ron when they returned to the common room after studying in the library.
"Well, don't forget that subtle wrist movement we've been training on!" Professor Flitwick stood on top of his pile of books as usual and shrieked. "Shake and shake, remember, shake and shake. It's also important to pronounce the spell accurately - don't forget the wizard Barufeo, who said the 'f' to the 's' and found himself lying on the floor. , on the chest stood a bison. β
Magic can't conjure food, but it can conjure bison. Can't the wizard conjure a bison and then make it into roast beef? Looks like I'm going to have to ask Professor Flitwick after class. Ryan thought about pulling out his wand and getting ready to start practicing.
Because he had practiced for a long time in private, Ryan made this feather fly in one go.
"Oh, look, Mr. Ryan has succeeded. That's right, that nice levitation spell from your last flying lesson. I'm going to add five points to Gryffindor. Professor Flitwick shouted at the top of his voice.
In the time that followed, Ryan began to help Neville master the spell. In fact, as long as he doesn't panic and has a little confidence, Neville's magic level isn't that bad. After reciting the mantra repeatedly, and watching Ryan's demonstration several times practice empty-handed. Neville unleashed the spell, though only to keep the feather less than a finger's height off the table.
In the absence of the correct learning method, the vast majority of young wizards still struggle to learn magic.
Harry and Seamus shook and shook and shook and did over and over again, but the feather that should have been sent into the air by them lay motionless on the table. Finally, the anxious Seamus stabbed the feather with his wand, and the feather snorted and ignited directly.
Thankfully, Harry was able to extinguish the small fire, but it also caused the surrounding students to fan the wind to get rid of the burning smell of the feathers.
On the other side of the room, Ron's progress wasn't much better.
"Yuga Dim Leviosa!" He shouted, waving his two long arms like a windmill.
"You're wrong," Ryan heard Hermione say unceremoniously, "it's Feather Plus and Dimlevy-O-Sa, and the word 'plus' has to be long and clear." Hermione had seen that Ryan could use this spell before, so she had practiced it with Ryan in advance, and Hermione had already mastered this spell before class.
"Since you're so clever, you'd better try it," Ron snarled
Hermione rolled up her sleeves, waved her wand, and said, "Yuga Dim Leviosa!" Their feather rose from the table and hung four feet above their heads.
"Oh, well done!" Professor Flitwick clasped his hands and shouted, "Look, Miss Granger has succeeded! This spell is not as hard as you think, and if you are careful, you can too." β
After class, Ryan ran up to the podium and asked questions about the bison. Professor Flitwick replied, "The wizard of Balufeo didn't conjure a bison out of thin air, he just summoned a bison from somewhere else. The Gamp Transfiguration Law simply says that you can't conjure food out of thin air, but you can summon food that already exists elsewhere. β
After thanking Professor Flitwick for his doubts, Ryan ran out of the classroom door.
The hallway was crowded, and the students were stuck together, and everyone had to move forward slowly.
Ryan heard Ron's voice coming from in front of him: "No wonder everyone can't stand her, to be honest, she's like a nightmare." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan saw a brown-haired girl walking past Ron and Harry with her head bowed with a book in her arms, and bumped into Harry as she passed them.
The girl was supposed to be Hermione, but she looked down as if she was crying.
Ryan squeezed over to Harry and Ron, and listened to Ron tell Harry, "She must have noticed, she doesn't have a new friend except Ryan who came from the same place as her." β
Ryan shook his head, then patted both of them on the shoulder.
"Why did you suddenly jump out and scare me to death. Ron said.
"I think you guys are really lacking in gentlemanly spirit when you orchestrate a girl behind your back. Ryan said.
Harry looked a little ashamed of his head. Ron asked rhetorically, "What is gentlemanly spirit?"
That's when Ryan thought that magic had flattened the physical gap between men and women. So in the UK, the wizarding world is the most gender-equal place, which also leads to many ordinary British customs that are not in the wizarding world, such as the gentleman's spirit.
"Well, I'm trying to say that the orchestrators behind it are always immoral, and I think you need to apologize to Hermione. β
Harry and Ron nodded. Ryan heard Ron mutter, "For your sake, I can apologize, I'm curious you can put up with a friend like Hermione?"
After that, the three of them went to the next class together.
