Chapter 6: The Roots of Magic
There were very few families who received a letter from Hogwarts that day and went to Diagon Alley that day to buy what they needed, and even fewer wizards from Muggle families, who needed at least a day's buffer period, and the Louis family was obviously a special exception.
Therefore, a warm greeting suddenly sounded behind him, and the three members of Louie's family turned to look around, and what they saw was a middle-aged red-haired man with a high hairline, and the family members beside him.
"It's the Weasleys of the HP world?"
Some of the more notable features made Louis see through the identity of the family at a glance, but he did not say anything, but stood quietly beside Sophia.
The diplomat of the Rogers family is undoubtedly Jason, the head of the family.
Even though he obviously didn't know who the group of people in front of him was, Jason still smiled gentlemanly and asked, "Sir, are you calling us?" ”
"I'm sorry, but it's rude to stop you all of a sudden."
The middle-aged man stepped forward, smiled apologetically, and then introduced, "My name is Arthur Weasley, and next to me is my wife Molly, and our children Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny. ”
"Well, hello, my name is Jason Rogers, and next to me is my wife Sophia, my son Louie."
Listening to Arthur introduce so many people at once, Jason smiled awkwardly and politely, and continued to ask:
"Mr. Weasley, may I ask you for something?"
"Uh... Sorry, nothing special. ”
Arthur blushed a little and said, "Actually... Well, Mr. Rogers, I'm interested in the Muggle world, but we don't usually have the opportunity to interact with Muggles, so I'd say... Can I invite you to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink? By the way, a little bit about the Muggle world? ”
"Hmm... I think no problem! ”
Even though it's a little late, going to the Leaky Cauldron with the Weasleys is likely to miss dinner when you get home.
However, Jason caught a glimpse of Arthur's three sons, Percy, Fred, George and Louie, who were about the same age, and were likely his classmates at Hogwarts, so in order to allow Louie to better integrate into the wizarding world, Jason smiled and nodded and agreed to Arthur's invitation.
However, after finding that when Jason nodded, Arthur and his wife Molly secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if they had let go of some kind of burden, and Louis couldn't help but frown slightly, always feeling that it was a bit deliberate to meet the Weasleys in Diagon Alley.
"Arthur, they came to Diagon Alley to meet us, did they mean Dumbledore?"
Louis thought silently in his heart, but he was not prepared to use a special method to verify it, because it was not necessary.
In the Leaky Cauldron Bar, whether it is Arthur who is chatting with Jason about Muggle topics, or Molly who is discussing the parenting heart sutra with Sophia, she always leads the topic to herself smartly in order to get information about herself.
After all, at this time, according to Louie's observations, Arthur and Molly, who couldn't use the magic overlord to make a hard bow, were completely in a state of being completely blown up by Jason and Sophia.
As a result, the Weasleys, who wanted to talk to each other, were unable to get much useful information from the Rogers, who instead slowly learned about the magical wizarding world in their eyes through their communication with the Weasleys.
However, when it comes to Arthur, Molly is approaching with ulterior motives, and if Louie is faintly disgusted, compared to the two of them, the Weasley children are much cuter.
Ron, Ginny, who is shy and shy in front of the living, likes to preach to his younger siblings, but no one ever cares about him.
The most interesting is undoubtedly the eccentric twin Fred, George.
After knowing that Louie was their classmate, Fred and George always wanted to use the advantage of twins to trick Louie, but unfortunately they did not succeed once, because although the two were exactly the same in figure and appearance, it was impossible to tell who was who, but the magic of the two was slightly different.
All in all, in addition to the disgust in terms of deliberate proximity, the three members of the Louis family have a high opinion of the Weasley family, and before saying goodbye, Jason even invited their family to come to the house next time, but unfortunately Arthur, who works in the Ministry of Magic, can only apologize for declining Jason's warm invitation under the pretext of being busy.
………………
After saying goodbye to the Weasleys, it was a little late, and when Sophia came home to prepare dinner, Louis was going hungry.
So before going home, Jason drove Louie and Sophia to a fast-food restaurant near his home and hurriedly finished dinner.
Jason and Sophia both ordered fish and chips, which Louis refused, as he was a non-fish-eater before and after his rebirth.
Sea fish has a strong fishy smell for him, he can't stand it, and he will regurgitate and vomit when he eats it.
River fish, the fishy smell of river fish is slightly lighter, but it will make him feel that the faint fishy smell is full of a smell of earth, and taking a bite is also the result of nausea and vomiting.
Maybe it's a fish allergy?
Possibly.
Anyway, Louie thinks that fish allergies are nothing, he had a friend who was allergic to rice before he was reborn, and that guy is the object worth complaining about.
Simply ordered a burger and fries after dinner, although Louie was only eight minutes full when he came home, but after returning home and eating the dog food spilled by Jason and Sophia, he really choked enough, and hurriedly went back to the room to lock the door to avoid bumping into the process of the two of them building a new game number.
Then, sitting at his desk and turning on the lamp, Louis then pulled out the magic books he had bought from the Blotted Bookstore.
Standard Charm, Elementary.
Flipping through the entire book, Louis took only twenty minutes.
Today, Louie no longer needs the Standard Charm, Elementary, which is on his desk, because he stores the entire book on his mental hard drive.
That's right.
Mental hard drive.
During Louis's self-exploration and cultivation, he created a practical little skill.
Remembering is an enviable ability, but unfortunately Louis after being reborn does not have it, so he can only create one of his own with extraordinary abilities.
And the principle of the mental hard drive...
It's simpler.
For example, in the process of reading "Standard Spell, Elementary", Louie will use his extraordinary ability to make a memory fragment of the process of reading the content of "Standard Spell, Elementary", which is stored in the void space where the "Magic Golden Pill" is located, which is what Louis called the spiritual world.
By the time Louie needs to recall the contents of Standard Charms, Elementary...
"Drop!"
Enter the spirit world, open the "Standard Spell, Elementary" video, fast forward, and only need a thought to return.
At this time, the hard disk in Louie's spiritual world is relatively useless...
Well.
Maybe it's the video of the cat, the dog or something.
Let's talk about Louie's first experience reading Standard Spells, Elementary.
Generally...
Not bad.
As a first-year Hogwarts textbook, "Standard Charms, Elementary" does not record much magic, only a few, and all of them are relatively rudimentary magic, such as glowing charms and the like.
In a thick book, more of the basic theories of magic are recorded, as well as some knowledge related to magic spells.
What impressed Louis more was the following passage recorded in the book:
"The fundamental power of any magic comes from your heart."
This passage undoubtedly reminded Louis of the HP movie, where he needed to think of pleasant things in his heart in order to cast a successful Patronus Charm.
"So... Is the magic of the HP world idealistic? ”
Thinking of this, Louis smiled and shook his head, and immediately redefined it in a way that he personally understood:
"No, the power of magic does not come from the mind, and the main reason why many wizards have magic is an idealist misunderstanding is that they don't understand a truth."
"The so-called magic..."
"It was originally the embodiment of spiritual power!"
