Chapter 267: Hogwarts History of Magic (18)
Spells Explained is a nineteenth-century book, a bit far from the present, but it is a book of the study of spells. The author gives a detailed summary of the methods used to study and analyze magic spells since ancient times, and points out the scope and shortcomings of various methods of analysis. Of course, some of these points are debatable from the perspective of the present day, but on the whole, it is still an indispensable book for the study and study of charms.
"Thank you." Phyllis responded politely, in a somewhat flat tone.
One of the important factors that made Phyllis and Flitwick friends was that they both had a deep understanding of spells. Phyllis actually had the book "Spell Analysis" herself, and she read it when she was still locked up at Kate Manor.
"You can look it up." As if sensing Phyllis's thoughts, Flitwick smiled and said.
"Oh...... This ......"
This "Spell Analysis" is not a new book, on the contrary, judging from the wear and tear of the cover, this book is a bit old, after opening, there are small red notes in the header and footer of each page, and Phyllis has read a few briefly, all of which are very unique insights.
"This ...... Very precious, thank you. Phyllis said heartily.
This book can be seen as Flitwick, a master of spells, who has accumulated many years of hard work in the analysis of spells, for Ravenclaw who loves knowledge, especially wizards like Phyllis, who are studying spells in depth, I dare not say that it is priceless, but it is not something that Jin Galleon can measure.
"If you like it, it's a gift for you."
If it weren't for the study of spells, and to a certain extent, the value of the book would not be seen at all, and Phyllis would have had such a reaction, and Flitwick was also very happy.
"Gifts?" Phyllis was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to realize that it was her birthday.
Phyllis shook her head and said, "You know, I don't really like birthdays. ”
Flitwick knew, according to his guess, that it might be because the birthday would make Phyllis think of her dead family and add to her annoyance. However, Flitwick thinks that Phyllis should look forward, her life is still long, and she can't always miss her birthday, so he also thinks of a statement.
"Today is your twenty-fourth birthday, twenty-four is a special number, worth remembering."
"What's so special about Twenty-Four?"
"There are twelve months in a year, and twenty-four is a multiple of twelve, isn't it a whole number?"
Phyllis didn't know what to say: "I remember last year, you said that twenty-three is a prime number, which is very special!" ”
"That's right." Flitwick said solemnly, "Twenty-three is also a very special number. ”
"Well, anyway, thanks."
After a brief conversation, Phyllis said goodbye to Flitwick and returned to her own residence at Hogwarts Castle.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Amy waiting in the living room, that is, her office, on a round table full of very hearty meals.
Amy was a little nervous, and said cautiously, "Master, you haven't eaten at night, do you want to eat a little?" ”
Phyllis looked at the noodles on the table, specially prepared according to the oriental tradition, and asked, "Do you also think twenty-four is a special number?" ”
"Huh?" Amy didn't figure it out.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Phyllis dropped the sentence and headed for the bedroom.
Looking at Phyllis's back, Amy's big eyes were a little dark, and she lowered her eyebrows and walked towards the table, intending to clean up the meal.
As a house-elf who has served Phyllis for many years, Amy certainly knows that Phyllis doesn't like the habit of celebrating birthdays, but it's always a special day. On this day, even if there is no birthday cake, she prepares a hearty meal, especially a bowl of noodles that is long, long and uninterrupted, according to the tradition of the host's ethnic group.
Amy knew that the death of the old master was a huge blow to the master, and she had been immersed in pain for so many years, and it was because of that desperate pain that she had become so ...... Terrible! Amy would love to feel more warmth and care from her host, which might make her feel a little lighter.
But now, depending on the owner's intentions, she did not accept the gift she had prepared.
Just when Amy came to the table and was about to put away the food on this table, Phyllis, who had changed into loose loungewear, walked out and walked straight towards the dining table, sat down and picked up chopsticks, and said, "Yes, there are steamed groupers that I like, and dumplings, what kind of filling?" ”
Amy was a little stunned, but quickly reacted and happily introduced: "Pork and green onion filling, green onions I bought specially in the city of London." ”
Phyllis took one and tasted it, saying, "It's authentic." ”
It can be seen that Phyllis is really in a good mood and very relaxed, so that there is a small mistake in her words - although the Kate family is Chinese, it has been inherited in England for hundreds of years, and she has never been to her ancient and distant hometown, how can you know what is "authentic" and not "authentic"?
And if you dig deeper, the Kate family has settled in England for hundreds of years and has long been accustomed to the local food habits, and the so-called "Oriental" cuisine that Phyllis started with snacks is actually an improved version of British cuisine. From this point of view, her fondness for "authentic" oriental cuisine is truly special.
"If the owner likes it, it's fine." Amy was getting happier.
