Chapter 11 (Catching Insects)

Gail did complete the practice of turning matches into needles during the holidays. But at that time, Gale was just reading from the book, not knowing what it was and why it was. Today, under Professor McGonagall's explanation, I thought divergently, and if we use the way of cultivation to explain Gale's behavior, in fact, he has just touched the "Tao".

How does chaos give birth to all things? What is it like to start something from nothing? Gail's thinking about science, atoms, molecules, and elements just now made him cast a spell no longer a simple spell, but a "Tao". The basic pronunciation of modern spells is mostly Latin, but if you break down the power system used by Gael, it is older than the ancient system of magic as long as it is written. Therefore, it is still "Tao".

Gail reflected on his own experience in the moment when the spell was successfully cast, and once again felt that Hogwarts had come to the right place! He glanced at Potter, who had a ridiculous expression, and turned his face to give Lily a big smile.

Potter and Black's wands, though broken by Gale on the train, were only physically damaged wands, which had been restored with a repair charm under Dumbledore's Elder Wand and powerful magic. Well, the two of them, who forgot about the scars, never wanted to teach Gail a lesson, but it was clear that Gail didn't let them get their wish.

After the Transfiguration class, it's Potions class. Gail was fortunate enough to be on a team with the future Potions Master.

"Mr. Green, if your hands and brain are still useful, don't just stand in a daze." Seaver's voice interrupted Gail's musings and brought him back to his senses. Gail hurriedly joined in the process of making the scabies potion.

Professor Slughorn doesn't seem to care much about the two who have done a great job of completing the scabies potion. Although the work of the two people is excellent, they only get an A, not even an E.

Gail, who had long known the professor's style, shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care, but Lily was unhappy with such an assessment. Despite her dissatisfaction, Gail doesn't seem to want to have a conflict with the professor, so Lily remains silent.

The teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts is a gentle lady, Professor Elbo. She obviously took over the position with the mentality of teaching everyone safe and leaving the knowledge of the academic year.

Since the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor more than a decade ago, it has become a consumable, which has made everyone think that the position is cursed by someone, so that no teacher will successfully teach students to the second year.

Some teachers were only injured at the end of the semester and had to leave, and some died in an accident.

Professor Elbow taught the basics of identifying magical creatures and how to use a wand to send out distress signals. Because the magic of the first-year wizards is indeed not very stable, and there are not many spells, it is much more reliable to teach them how to quickly and effectively call for help than to let them master many difficult spells to save themselves.

In addition, Professor Elbo told everyone that sometimes, some things still have to be left to adults. Asking for help is not a shameful thing, but a wise measure of one's ability and an effective way to solve problems.

Gale agrees with Professor Elbo's view. Leaving things to a professional instead of being reckless on your own is what a child should do. Like in the original HP book, it is true that for a child, such an adventure is very exciting, but the premise of these is - the dereliction of duty of adults.

As a reader, Gail really thinks that those seven novels and eight movies are wonderful, but as a person living in this world, putting the burden of saving the world on him from the birth of a child undoubtedly confirms the incompetence of adults from the side.

Whether or not Lily would marry that obnoxious Potter in the future, Gail didn't plan to let such a ridiculous thing happen. Headmaster Dumbledore was a wise old man, but he was also a mortal. Weaknesses in his personality make him make the wrong choice. Although the final result was good, it was not the best result.

Because of Professor Elbo's words, Gail's brain began to work at high speed, thinking about the question that this was the world. Gail sympathized with Voldemort's tragic childhood. But Gale would never understand the racial wars he later provoked, the killing of ordinary wizards, and the impact on the world of ordinary people.

Do you have a miserable childhood, can you wantonly harm the lives of others? Who gave you the right? Isn't it just relying on his own bloodline inheritance to get a huge amount of magic? So, what if someone is stronger than you? What if someone had attained the immortality you so longed for? What if someone could easily defeat you? Voldemort, honorable Duke of Darkness, can you still provoke war and kill people when the time comes?

Gail was now very aware of the importance of power. Unlike in the past, when he only pursued immortality, this time, he simply pursued the power that could override everyone. Sure enough, he was actually a Slytherin at heart. Gail thought.

The last lesson was a Magical Creature Conservation class. As a first-year carrot head, Gael's didn't need to take this class. So, the three of them gathered under the big tree by the black lake in the afternoon to continue the morning conversation.

"This needle is so beautiful!" Lily held the work from Gael's Transfiguration class and exclaimed, "There are patterns on it, this is much better than what you made during the summer vacation." ”

"Repeated practice!" Gail said, taking out a box of matches and giving it to Lily, "Practice makes perfect, and if you practice more, you can conjure patterns." After that, you can try to put some gems on top of them, or change the shape. With a slight change, the needle becomes a beautiful decorative brooch, isn't it? ”

When Lily listened, her eyes lit up and she began to practice.

Seaver watched in silence as Gail turned Lily's attention away, his face expressionless.

Gail turned his face and saw Seaver's face with a stiff face, a little headache. Well, this cold-faced pale boy may be dedicating his life to Lily's child in the future. It's pitiful. Although Gail felt that perhaps Seaver was a more responsible husband than Potter, considering the self-esteem and desire of Seaver described in the original book, Gail felt that it was better to leave the choice to Lily.

However, that doesn't mean he can't help Seaver from the side! "Seaver, do you know why I was in a daze during Potions class?"

"It's a pity that I don't know how to read minds, and I haven't learned to read minds." Seaver is now beginning to have a venomous demeanor, and he only needs to answer in the affirmative or negative, but he ends up talking to Gale in such a tortuous way.

Gail touched his nose and said, "Don't you think Potions class is too child's play?" It's kind of ridiculous. Pharmaceuticals were supposed to be the most rigorous discipline, and the units of measurement should be accurate to milligrams. But neither in books nor in professors' lectures there is any mention of precise measurement! In such a situation, a little more of a certain drug and a little less of a certain material will undoubtedly have a great impact on the final state of the drug. The reason why I was in a daze was thinking about it. ”

Seaver glanced at Gail and muttered for a moment before saying, "Professor Slughorn is a Potions Master. The questions you just talked about about material measurement are actually skillful. Generally, after the Potions Master accepts the apprentice, he will give his skills to his apprentice. We are just ordinary students, as long as we master the content of the book, there is no need for the professor to give us his skills. ”

"According to you, only the Potions Master and his apprentices will know about the metering problem, but what about the pharmacists at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic? They didn't worship the Potions Master as a teacher. ”

This also proves from the side that the issue of measurement is not important, is it? As long as you follow what the book says, measurement is not very important, which is why there are so many pharmacists who don't have a Potions master as a teacher. ”

"......" Gail was silent. Why didn't he think of it? I even stupidly took this out as an argument, and it turned out to be a loophole.

"Alright, tell me what you really want to do. Your excuse at the beginning was so clumsy. Severus saw that Gail was a little angry, and finally opened his mouth to give Gail the stairs.

Gale saw that his mind had been debunked, and he didn't bother anymore, and took out a few books directly from the space bag: "This is one of the disciplines in the world of ordinary people, called chemistry." This, is biology. And this, it's math. Perhaps most wizards feel that ordinary people are weak, have no magic, and have twice as short a life as wizards. But because of this, ordinary people are more concerned about how to use the power they don't understand to understand the world and make their lives better and more comfortable. Do you know of a wizard who landed on the moon? A few years ago, the average person did it. They can fly, they can go into the deep sea, they see the world from their own unique perspective, and their understanding of the world has surpassed that of wizards. The wizards thought they lived in the village and would burn the wizards' 'Muggles' with torches. I think you're still very talented in potions, as you can tell from the scabies potions. The discipline of ordinary people may take you one step further in potions. ”

Seaver looked at the books in front of him and was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Very incendiary speech, Mr. Greene. Given your words, I think you're pretty smart, and I guess you know it's best not to say it to anyone else. I'll read these books! ”

Gail heard the concern in Seaver's words, felt that his efforts were not in vain, showed a smile and nodded: "I only talk to people I trust." ”——
