Chapter 102: Nick's Thanksgiving

Ryan was watching a group of ghosts snatch food at the table regardless of their identity. Hermione walked over from the side

She took her notebook and said, "Today is a great harvest, I know a lot of secrets that I never knew before." For example, when Earl bragged about his bravery, he was revealed by a ghost next to him that he actually accidentally fell to the ground while chasing, and his head touched a crossbow arrow on the ground and died. Sure enough, a lot of historical truths can't be delved into. ”

Just as Hermione was happily telling her what she had seen today, a grunting sound came from her stomach. Hermione's face immediately turned red when she heard the voice.

Ryan also felt a little hungry at this time, so he went to Nick to say goodbye.

Nick had finished his toast by this time, and happily stood on the rostrum looking at the eating ghosts around the table. Seeing Ryan pull Hermione over, he bowed solemnly to the two of them and said:

"Thank you for your help, I think today is the happiest day since I died. ”

"No thanks, it's not very difficult for me. We're going upstairs to dinner now, so we need to retire early and take our leave. Ryan said to Nick.

"Ah, I've been so busy these two days. I'm so sorry I forgot to prepare food for the two of you. Hurry up and eat, I think you'll be able to get dessert upstairs now. The gift for you will be placed at your bedside tomorrow morning. ”

With that, Nick bowed and sent Ryan and Hermione out of the basement classroom.

Ryan and Hermione hurried down the hallway up the stairs, and when they rushed into the auditorium breathlessly to take their seats, sure enough, the main course had been taken down and dessert had just been served.

"It's a shame you missed the Halloween apple pie. Ron muttered as he saw Ryan and Hermione sit down, eating caramel apples.

"But I still think it's rewarding to be at the Ghost Meetup tonight. I gained a lot of knowledge that I couldn't find in books. Hermione said, picking up a piece of pumpkin cake.

"Well, what's so special about the Ghost Gathering?" Harry asked curiously.

"I think it's funny that the Headless Horsemen's headless ghosts are throwing their heads at each other on horses, at least I've never seen them before. Ryan said as he ate a piece of cake.

"And the atmosphere, with its blue candles, cold temperatures, and a room full of ghosts, is more indicative of Halloween in the wizarding world. The only problem is that there's nothing suitable for human eating. Ryan concluded.

After stuffing his stomach with dessert after dinner, Ryan went back to the dormitory with the troops.

When Ryan woke up the next morning, he found a thick parchment letter at the head of his bed. After opening the envelope and looking at it, Ryan discovers that Nick had asked the house-elves to deliver it at night.

At the beginning of the letter, Nick says that he asked Barrow to write the letter in exchange for the bottle of fiery whiskey in his possession, as only Peeves could write letters in the ghost. As for not letting the house-elf write it, it was because he didn't think the contents of the letter were appropriate for the headmaster to know.

Ryan opened the envelope and pulled out the letter, and found that Nick had given a lot of gifts this time. The letter shows the locations of several secret passages in Hogwarts, and tells Ryan that the Requirement Room contains things that have been lost by Hogwarts students over the centuries, and that they can be found by looking for a place to hide them at the door.

At the end of the letter, he also told Ryan that a ghost had told him that nearly two hundred years ago he had seen a group of people sneaking around and carrying a few heavy boxes to the south of England near the coastline, and no one had taken them out since. Looking at the size and weight of the box, it is likely that there are treasures inside.

Looks like the Christmas holidays can go on a treasure hunt, Ryan thought. In this way, it seems that Nick's gift is really rich, and I hope that there will be no joy when the time comes. In short, this help has been very rewarding for Ryan.

Because he was in a good mood, Ryan watched the play "Gilderoy v Werewolf" by Harry Potter and Gilderoy Lockhart with great interest in today's Lockhart class

Seriously, if Gildelow wasn't a wizard, he could have gotten a job in Hollywood. Because Ryan saw that Gildelow was just a few words of instruction, so that Harry could reproduce the werewolf's demeanor a little.

After all, Gildelow was only asking about the real heroes through his words. It can restore the scene through dry language and perform a bit of reality. It has to be said that Gilderoy is a genius in this regard.

It's a pity that this kind of teaching as a teacher is obviously not enough, at least Ryan feels that he can't learn anything in such a class.

So while Lockhart was fully engaged in the performance, Ryan pulled out a large pile of parchment and began to deduce the magical inheritance of the Viking wizards.

It's not just about learning spells, and after deducing the runes that are the basis of the spells, the user can try to change them.

For example, a normal wizard can use Transfiguration to turn a stone into a statue at most, or to convert things into several items one step further.

But if he was a Transfiguration master like Dumbledore, he could use a simple Transfiguration technique to perform extremely complex magic.

For example, in the original books, Dumbledore's magic in the Ministry of Magic controlled Voldemort with a balloon, which is actually an extension of the simplest Transfiguration.

With Ryan's level, he naturally couldn't do this, and now he simply broke down the Viking spell in his hand step by step according to the inheritance in his memory, and then confirmed the composition of each part of the spell, as well as the effect of each part in this spell. Finally, minor changes are being made.

This is a troublesome task, and it is necessary to restore all the elements of a spell, such as spells and movements, to the most primitive scripts, and then analyze them according to the nature of each script.

For example, the magic that Ryan is dealing with now is the Ancient Viking Light Charm, which is a bit more complex than the current Light Charm, but allows the point of light to leave the wand and attach to certain objects.

The reason this spell was chosen as the starting point for learning was because it was easy enough and safe enough. Even if it fails, the most you can do is make the light flash flash flash like a camera, or simply not light it at all. But if it's a complex spell, it's very dangerous to fail. Luna's mother, for example, died because of this.

At the climax of Gildero's stage, Ryan finally imitates the legacy of his memory and learns a metamorphosis of the spell: it takes three times as much magic to double the duration of the spell's glow.

Excited, Ryan accidentally recited the incantation, and everyone in the classroom saw a silver-white ball of light flying towards the table.

"It's miserable, it's a big game. Ryan covered his face with his hands.
