Chapter 14: Strange Conversations
Brandi looked at Dumbledore's sincere and eager eyes, and drank the tea in his hand in a strange mood.
Watching Brandi drink the tea in his hand, Dumbledore leaned back in satisfaction, allowing himself to sink into the soft backrest.
"Have you ever been, I mean when you were a kid, something weird happened around you? You should be clear, Brandi. Basically, a wizard will be more or less unable to control the magic in his body when he is a child, and some simple magic phenomena will appear around him, especially when you can't control your emotions. ”
Brandi scratched his head, his face was a little embarrassed, he didn't really want to mention his embarrassment at the time, but I don't know why, he was so excited now, he wanted to share everything about himself. "I don't think so, sir. But ......"
Dumbledore raised his eyes with interest and motioned for him to continue.
"It's likely that my dad has a vague memory at the time, but he told me that I had a time when I was two or three years old, and I occasionally mumbled in a language with a strange accent. But I don't have any memory of this myself. ”
"Oh?" Dumbledore froze for a moment, his eyes shining. "Then that's probably the case. Amazing, sorry Mr. Barton. No wonder such a fastidious wand would choose such an ordinary little wizard as you. ”
Brandi tilted his head, unsure.
"This answers a question in my mind, Mr. Patton, then there are some things I need to check with you on my side, don't worry, it's all trivial."
"Oh......"
"I heard that you like the girl from the same college as you and a Ravenclaw senior sister named Cho Zhang?"
“… Forehead... Ha?! Brandy's mouth widened, her eyes wide in surprise.
…………………………
Brandi had his wand in his hand, and he was stuck on his bed in a daze, not even knowing how he had come back. All that remained in his mind was the meaningful words of Dumbledore when he sent him away, "Remember your promise, Mr. Barton, it might help you." ”
Did I promise Dumbledore something in a daze? Yes...... No, just using your brain to think about it will make your head swell.
There must be something wrong with the tea just now, Brandi gritted his teeth in hatred. I've never been so talkative before, at least I won't even tell anyone if I use my left hand or right hand to help little Brandi when I go to the toilet, even if it's Dumbledore! Fortunately, I restrained myself at the time and didn't answer, otherwise I wouldn't be too ashamed of that picture.
I just don't know why Dumbledore's eyes are even hotter, and I also saw him writing and drawing on a piece of parchment, as if he saw his name and a sentence of 'will resistance'.
After that, he was asked a lot of strange questions, most of which were grammatically strange or difficult to read. Things like "What kind of national song ...... am I playing mud in the Northeast", "What kind of magic spell is it that has a pulling my pants chain", "The Delai Alliance is a wizarding organization founded in the past few years" and so on. He was surprised to find that he couldn't understand any of the words......
Just kidding, how can a normal person know such a thing! After all, it's a noun or not to say 'there's a pulling my trouser chain', and I don't know where Dumbledore got so many strange words.
And also...... Who is Qiu Zhang, I've never heard of such a girl. Brandi blinked suspiciously, confused by the sheer number of inexplicable questions and the hints of information that Dumbledore's words had revealed in his words. The more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, so he simply dragged it over Yale and held it high.
"And I wouldn't like Hermione's dead tsundere, would I! Yale~"
Yale licked Brandy's face as if he didn't understand, and let out a soft cry.
After retrieving the wand, life suddenly seemed to return to normal. Or take it a step further, it seems that everything is moving for the better.
I don't know if Brandi was forced to frequently exhaust his magic power in class to practice the relationship between Transfiguration and Spells in order to catch up with Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, and he can now feel pleasantly surprised, although the total amount of his magic power doesn't seem to feel any changes, it is still a spell that drains his life, but at least the recovery speed of mana has been significantly accelerated, from the previous chanting spell to charge five minutes a second, to now he can barely release the spell again after resting for two minutes, Although the magic effect is still not as perfect as the original spell, at least it can be cast in its entirety.
Even in the Charms class not long ago, I successfully completed an excellent magic trick combination, and within five minutes, the three marbles on the table rolled into the small cloth bag on the edge according to the predetermined trajectory! Professor Flitwick also added two points to Gryffindor, who had no scorer other than Hermione.
This series of changes is undoubtedly a benign sign for Brandi. He couldn't help but start to look forward to the fact that if he kept it running out as soon as he had it, and his mana was exhausted all year round, maybe after three or five years of perseverance, he would be able to reach the moment when the first spell was finished, and the empty mana would be replenished immediately.
…… Of course, this was unceremoniously taunted by Harry Ron. After all, the replenishment of mana is a process of accumulation and adaptation, and the replenishment of mana can be completed in an instant, not to mention whether it is possible to do it, the rapid generation and consumption of mana of that scale in the body will definitely imperceptibly bring some unpredictable changes to the body. Maybe by the time he can get there, he probably won't be a human being......
But in short, no matter what the future holds, Brandi's heart is incomparably inflated at this moment, and it seems that there is nothing left to stop him from moving forward.
At least at first.
Until one day, the three of them noticed a notice posted in the Gryffindor common room, and they all sighed after reading it. Flying lessons are starting on Thursday – and to add insult to injury, Gryffindor students will be taking lessons with Slytherin students.
"It's unfortunate," said Harry, in frustration, "as I expected. Riding a broomstick in front of Malfoy. ”
"The same! I've always felt like I'm afraid of heights......" Brandi carefully looked at the scene of himself flying in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a chill, I'm going to die......
Flight! Brandi was still eager to fly, and when he knew that flying lessons were going to be held, he went to the library to borrow a lot of books about flying.
"It's not certain that you will be able to look at each other." Ron said sensibly, "I know Malfoy always brags that he plays Quidditch really well, but I bet he's just talking big." ”
Indeed, Malfoy had apparently known that flying lessons were taking place in the next few days. Lately, he's been talking a lot about his flying skills. He complained loudly that the inqualifying of first-year students for the House Quidditch team was an insult to his dazzling flying talent, and he gave an example, always ending with his thrilling escape from a Muggle helicopter.
He wasn't alone, though, for the entire first-year students seemed to be restless in the presence of a flying broomstick: it seemed that Simophenigan had spent most of his childhood flying around in the wilderness on a broomstick. Even Ron, if anyone wants to, will talk about how he once rode Charlie's broken broom and almost crashed into a hang glider.
"You didn't see it, it was a very thrilling situation, and the glider's wing came head-on, and if it hadn't been for my perfect Thomas maneuver and an S move around it, I would have been cut in two and sent to St. Mungo's hospital."
"Ron." Brandi couldn't help but complain and explain to him desirefully, "Thomas Slalom is a gymnastic move...... The one you're talking about is called a serpentine maneuver. ”
Obviously, compared to these "flying stuntmen" who are difficult to distinguish between real and fake. Brandi and Harry Naway are undoubtedly the other type, they have never ridden a broomstick, and by the way, they mention Neville because his grandmother won't let him ride, in fact, Brandi and Harry privately think that his grandmother is very reasonable, because Neville can do all kinds of things that make people laugh even when he is on the ground......
When it comes to flying, Hermione Granger is almost as nervous as Neville. But it's a skill you can't read in a book and memorize by heart—Brandi has already tried it. At breakfast Thursday morning, she kept talking to them about some flight instructions she had seen from a library book called Quidditch Origins, which annoyed them enough to say that it didn't really work. Even Brandy, who had always been patient with Hermione, immediately sat down at the Ravenclaw table and chatted with the two pretty girls in Padma's dorm, only Neville listened intently to every word she said, hoping to hear something useful that would help him sit firmly on his broomstick. Still, when the postman arrived and interrupted Hermione's speech, the others were very happy.
An owl brought him a small package from Neville's grandmother. Neville excitedly opened it and showed everyone a glass ball the size of a marble, which seemed to be filled with white smoke.
"It's a memory ball!" "Grandma knows I always have no memory – she will tell you if there's something you forgot to do," he explained. Look, you hold it tightly, like this, if it turns red—oh" He straightened his face as the memory ball suddenly glowed red, "You just forgot something......"
Neville struggled to remember what he had forgotten, and just then, Draco Malfoy passed by the Gryffindor dining table and jerked the memory ball out of his hand.
Harry and Ron immediately jumped up, as if they were going to fight, and Brandi naturally didn't want to be a strong onlooker on the Ravenclaw side, so he had to say goodbye to the pretty girl and crowd apart from the crowd. But Old Lady McGonagall always showed up at the most unexpected times, which avoided possible trouble.
"Hmph~ Give it back to you, I hope this thing can remind you of how stupid your brain is!" Seeing that Professor McGonagall's eyes were not good, Malfoy did not dare to make a mistake, so he threw the memory ball to this side, put down a few painless cruel words, and ran away with the two stupid big bodyguards.
Brandi hurriedly took the Memory Ball in mid-air, but to his surprise, as soon as he touched the Memory Ball, it suddenly turned as red as blood. It's as if Brandi had forgotten something big......
"Is this memory ball only for you, Neville...... I don't think I forgot anything important, right? Brandi nervously asked Neville, only to receive an ambiguous answer......
"Probably...... I don't know about it either. ”
