Volume 1 I Don't Want the Philosopher's Stone Chapter 9: The Lion and the Serpent's Honeymoon Period (Part II)

Neville had never succeeded in casting magic, so he hadn't felt the flow of magic. Casting magic requires accurate spells and precise movements, but the essence is the output of magic in the body!

After thinking about it, Daphany felt that it was a bit difficult to practice Transfiguration at the beginning, so she switched to the simplest fluorescence technique. It is also commonly known as the lowest level of magic of illumination.

"First of all, empty your brain and don't think about anything else!" After teaching and confirming that Neville had mastered the simple spell, Daphany instructed, "With all your mind, imagine what it would be like for the wand to light up!" ”

Neville nodded, looking solemn!

"Now, say the incantation...... Fluorescent flash! Daphine continued.

After reciting it dozens of times before, Neville was very familiar with it, and Neville subconsciously pronounced the incantation accurately: "Fluorescent flicker!" Immediately afterward, he felt a warm current flow through his body, converging from all over his body to his right hand holding the wand, then to his fingertips, and finally to the wand. The next moment, the wand glowed brightly!

"Cheng ...... It worked! Neville looked at the gleaming wand in disbelief, "Did I do it?" ”

"That's right, you did it! Awesome fluorescence, Neville! I'm sure even Professor Dumbledore's fluorescence is nothing more than that, at least at your age! Daphany praised.

"Miss Lestrange is absolutely right!" A gentle voice suddenly came, and both Daphany and Neville were startled, and when they turned around, Dumbledore, with white hair and a white beard, appeared behind them at some point, looking at them with a smile.

"Professor Dumbledore!" The two of them hurriedly got up, and both were a little embarrassed. Daphany was arrested for mentioning Dumbledore. Neville's sheer embarrassment, for no reason.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!" Professor Dumbledore said with a smile, and waved his hands exaggeratedly for the two of them to sit down: "Very good fluorescence, such a bright light, I think I can do it at least in my second or third year!" Excellent, Mr. Longbottom! ”

"Thank you...... Thanks, Professor Dumbledore! Neville stumbled with excitement.

"No, no, no, it shouldn't be thank me, it should be thank Miss Lestrange!" Dumbledore smiled and stroked his head, "Oh, what's the matter, Gryffindor plus five points, for the best fluorescence in this first year!" Ten points for Sleijelinga, for a great little teacher! ”

"Keep it up!" Smiling at the two of them, Dumbledore turned to leave, seemingly slowly, but suddenly at the end of the dining room. Daphine's original innocent smile slowly retracted, and finally turned into a touch of interest and faint hook at the corner of her mouth. Just now, Dumbledore had used the Dementor on her. It's not deliberate, Dumbledore's mental power is too strong, it's just an unconscious thought, and it can probe people's consciousness.

Daphany believed that Neville's mind had been read by Dumbledore. But there was some surprise in her case. Daphine's mental strength at this time was definitely not comparable to Dumbledore's. Daphany even guessed that no one in the entire HP world could catch up with Dumbledore in terms of mental power, and maybe not even half of it. If he continued to make progress at this point, even if he had meditation, he would not have any hope of catching up with Dumbledore at this time until he was forty years old.

If Dumbledore intended to use the Dementor or even the Imperius Charm on Daphine, of course Daphany could not resist, but it was only this unconscious scanning, and at this time Daphine's brain occlusion skills were completely enough to resist. Professor Dumbledore also found out, but did not make any other moves. Although he found that Daphany's brain occlusion technique was extremely profound, he didn't expect that Daphine's mental strength was still beyond his expectations, and it was extremely sensitive, and he was able to detect his silent deception!

Without giving much thought to this, Daphany continued to instruct Neville in his magic.

"Do you remember how you felt?" Daphany asked.

"Is that feeling of warmth running through your body? Remember! Neville was still in the excitement stage after being praised by Dumbledore, and nodded repeatedly.

"Very well, let's do it again!" Dafanie decided to strike while the iron was hot. Sure enough, Neville once again succeeded in summoning the dazzling fluorescence, even attracting the attention of some of the senior students who had arrived in the cafeteria earlier.

"Good, remember this feeling of magic flowing!" Daphany continued, "Now, let's try the Transfiguration Charm! ”

Transfiguration spells are much more complex than fluorescent spells, and the gestures are much more complex. However, at this time, Neville, who was unprecedentedly confident, seemed to have a temporary increase in his memory. After a few times, the mantras and gestures were firmly memorized.

Under Neville's spell, the match thinned a full circle, and its shape changed, giving it the rudiments of a wooden needle. Although it is not far from Hermione's level in the classroom, it is already beyond the level of Draco and Brace!

"All that's left is practice!" Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Daphany waved her hand and returned to the area where Slajelin was dining. Behind Neville shouted thank you, she just waved her hand and didn't turn back.

Eccentric! Neville didn't see the expression of Daphany who turned around, and frowned slightly, a little confused. Neville's magic had just been done so well that if he couldn't turn a match into a silver needle like Hermione did, it should at least turn it into a full wooden needle or have some change in texture. But Neville's matches only have the rudiments of wooden needles, which doesn't make sense!

The primary Transfiguration technique is extremely difficult for new students, even the average second and third year students, but it is very easy for Daphany. She had mastered it four or five years ago. She knows very well what level of application should have and what kind of effect it should have. Neville's magic just now is extremely complete, it shouldn't just be that level!

After lunch, Dafanie came to Professor McGonagall's office and knocked softly on the door. The door opened quickly. Professor McGonagall didn't even tie her hair up, but combed it in a ponytail, which made her look less serious.

"Is there anything wrong, Miss Lestrange!" Seeing that it was Dafanie, Professor McGonagall was very gentle, after all, the teachers liked children with good grades.

"That's the professor, I have a spell casting question, and I want to ask you for advice!" Daphine said.

"Oh, come in, I just made tea!" With that, he turned and led Daphany into the office.

Professor McGonagall's office was large, but plain. There is no over-frills, except for a huge desk and a few huge bookshelves full of books, just a small round coffee table and four small sofas.

Professor McGonagall sat Daphany on the couch and poured her a cup of black tea, which was fragrant with honey!

"What's wrong with you, Miss Lestrange. If you want me to say, your Transfiguration Charm level is already ready to graduate! Professor McGonagall made no secret of her affirmation of Daphany's skills.

"That's the professor!" Daphine said bluntly, "Before lunch today, I instructed Neville Transfiguration!" ”

"Neville?" Professor McGonagall was a little surprised, there were not many new students, and she could remember everyone clearly, including Neville, who was stupid and had been making mistakes all the time in the first class on the first day. Unexpectedly, Slyerelin's Daphany would guide him.

"Yes!" Daphne nodded: "When I was communicating Transfiguration with Neville, I found that Neville's magic was very good, but the effect was not ideal. This is something I can't understand! ”

"Is that so?" Professor McGonagall hesitated slightly and took out a test tube: "If you don't mind, I'd like to see what it was like!" ”

"Of course!" Daphne nodded, and with a flick of her wand at her temple, she drew out a strand of silver light.

Professor McGonagall was amazed, for it was rare for a first year to be proficient in Transfiguration. However, if it is a genius of a magical family, it is not impossible to be diligent and studious. But it's all too rare to be able to use memory magic at such a young age. No, it's not rare, it's unseen and unheard.

Surprised as surprised, Professor McGonagall didn't hesitate to do so, and with a wave of her wand, a meditation tray slowly floated over the bookcase. Daphany threw the silver wisp of memory into it. Observe with Professor McGonagall.

"Miss Lestrange, you are an excellent teacher!" Seeing Daphine's performance, Professor McGonagall exclaimed, "If Professor Dumbledore hadn't already given you extra points, I'd give you extra points too!" Professor McGonagall then saw Neville's spell cast. The conclusion was consistent with Daphne's, that according to Neville's magic completion, the match should at least become a full wooden needle.

"I think ......," Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, "it's probably the wand!" ”

"Wand?" Daphany was slightly stunned, as if she had realized something.

"Ollivanders is an old friend of mine," Professor McGonagall said, "and he mentioned you to me as the most wand-friendly magician he's ever met. Almost all wands are unhindered by you and can be easily handled. But there is no magician like you! Most magicians need the right wand to be effective. A wand that is not suitable, or even someone who has already confessed to others, will greatly affect the efficiency of spellcasting! “

"I see! I see, thank you, Professor McGonagall! Daphany stood up and bowed, thanking. She had already remembered that Neville's wand seemed to belong to his father. In other words, not only is it not the most suitable wand for him, but it is also a wand that has already confessed and has not changed hands. Then it's no wonder Neville doesn't use it well.

"No thanks, it's nice to meet a student like Miss Lestrange who doesn't have a sorting spot!" Professor McGonagall nodded in relief, "Go ahead, you should still have classes in the afternoon!" ”
