Chapter 45: The Demon Text
Naturally, this attitude of learning spread among the first-year students, and compared to the Ravenclaw's composure and habit, Gryffindor was even more unbelievable. As for Slytherin, of course, they were dismissive, and Hufflepuff students generally showed adoration and admiration.
Such a reaction is naturally related to the characteristics of their academy. After all, Slytherin pays attention to talent, and hard work is synonymous with talent in their eyes, Hufflepuff, the house with the largest number of people, has always advocated diligence.
Li Lin, who was bound by many assignments, was busy for a while, and with the help of Hermione, he finally gradually found his balance. It is impossible to say that it is getting better, after all, writing homework is not addictive. It can only be understood as gradual numbness and habit.
Li Lin, who was barely adjusting to this kind of life, received a notice from Professor Feliwick after a lunch to let Li Lin go to his office when he had free time.
There was no class in the afternoon, so Li Lin immediately went to the office after receiving a notice. After all, Professor Flitwick is the dean of Ravenclaw College, and as a Ravenclaw student, he must have a good attitude.
Li Lin knocked on the office door.
"Please come in."
Professor Flitwick's shrill voice came through the door, and Li Lin pushed it open, only to find Professor Flitwick sitting behind his desk, grading his homework, but his current height was unusual.
Li Lin deliberately ignored this, and then asked respectfully.
"Mr. Dean, what is the matter with me?"
Professor Flitwick put down the quill pen in his hand and said with a smile on his face.
"I am amazed by your diligence, Mr. Lovegood, you are an excellent Ravenclaw."
Professor Felivier first praised Li Lin, but then changed his tune.
"But we all understand that due to some reasons on your body, you can't use your wand to cast spells for the time being, which means that your grades in the Transfiguration class and the Charms class are likely to be zero."
What Professor Felivi said was the truth, the look on Li Lin's face looked a little nervous, but in fact, there was not much fluctuation in his heart, although a zero score meant that he couldn't even get T, but according to Li Lin's estimate, his final exam results in other subjects could still pass the grade exam and successfully enter the second grade, and take a step back, even if there were mistakes in some subjects, Deng Liduo would not rest assured that he, the "prophet", would drop out.
Generally speaking, there are 6 types of test scores, O is excellent, E is exceeding expectations, and A is passing. These three are passed. The failing grade is P, which means poor, and the last two grades are D, which is terrible. and T, a troll.
As for Li Lin, he should have achieved an unprecedented seventh grade in the Transfiguration exam and the Spell exam, with a score of zero.
Professor Flitwick brewed two drinks and handed one to Li Lin, smiling and trying to calm Li Lin's nervousness.
The look on Li Lin's face has not changed much, after all, he is not an actor, and he can't make too complicated performances, so he can only make the look on his face stiffer, so he may be nervous.
He lowered his head, letting his expression be buried in the heat of the drink. However, there was already a guess in his mind that Professor Flitwick was probably going to open a small stove for himself, or to use some other method to pass the exam.
After all, for decades, there has not been a single student in the school who was expelled because of a failed exam, which existed decades ago, but it was all in Hufflepuff, and if there was such a figure in Ravenclaw, Dean Felivi's already low body would probably be pressed even lower.
"That's right."
Professor Felivi took a sip of his drink and began to speak.
"I consulted with the deans and principals of the other colleges. Due to your special circumstances, Mr. Lovegood, your Transfiguration exam and Charms exam at the end of the semester will be changed to the Elementary Alchemy Exam and the Elementary Magic Exam. ”
Li Lin's expression was a little surprised, this time it was true, he didn't expect such a twist, Professor Felivi smiled proudly. And then he said.
"Hogwarts is to think about the future of the students, because the alchemy course is an advanced course, so the school currently does not have a corresponding teacher to teach at the elementary level, which requires you to study on your own, if nothing else, the exams in the next few years will be replaced like this, until you successfully enter the senior year and start learning professional alchemy courses."
Li Lin hurriedly took a sip of his drink to calm his mind, and then he looked at Professor Felivi and asked.
"Thank you very much for the school's leniency and for the help of the professors, but what do I need to do? I'm referring to the specific direction of the exam. ”
"That's right, the alchemy exam will only test the content of the book "Elementary Application of Modern Alchemy", after all, alchemy is too old and there are too many schools. If I had to take a comprehensive preliminary examination of alchemy, I am afraid that only Mr. Nicolame would be able to answer the question. ”
"As for the magic exam, I will preside over it, you only need to use the magic text to make an item float and pass."
Professor Felivi gave a brief introduction, and then, from time to time, he recounted some important points. So, stay for another hour. Li Lin walked out of the dean's office with two books in his arms.
One is "The Elementary Application of Modern Alchemy", and the other is a magic book, a blank edition. In the era when the wand was not perfected, there were various mediums for spellcasting, and with the development of magic scripts, magic books gradually spread, and it was a common means for ancient wizards to use magic scripts to preserve magic on magic books and pass them on at the same time.
If you want to cast a levitation charm, it's just a spell when you use a wand, but with a magic book, you need to copy three pages of magic text alone, not to mention chanting.
There are many kinds of use of magic texts, and the casting of spells with magic books is the closest to releasing spells from a magic wand, but the pre-preparation is too complicated, first of all, after each magic text casts magic, it will disappear from the magic book and need to be re-recorded. The second is the time of chanting, the fire is blazing, the magic of the fire, the use of magic spells is just a spell, but the words of the magic text, the transcription can have more than a dozen pages, even if the chant only needs to chant nodes, but in battle, it is also very long.
So, after the wand and the spell are combined. Quickly sweep through all spellcasting mediums of its kind, and eventually become the spellcasting overlord of the wizarding world.
The Demonic Script was also affected, and eventually inevitably declined. However, there are still many applications for magic texts, the most common of which is alchemy products, which have been enchanted with weapons.
Li Lin returned to the common room with a heartfelt smile on his face. After all, there were zero marks in the two courses, and this kind of tragedy, which had never been seen in the history of Ravenclaw, was far away from him.
At this time, Hermione was flipping through the thick books, and at the same time comparing her class notes with Li Lin's mother's notes, constantly scribbling and changing her notes.
After seeing Li Lin come back, Hermione paused, then smiled and said in a cheerful tone.
"Lin, so happy, Professor Felivi gave you a book you like?"
Li Lin shook his head and put down the book in his hand.
"This is my new exam course."
"Huh?"
Hermione blinked, as if she was thinking, and then suddenly widened.
"You mean, the Charms and Transfiguration exams?! Oh, that's great, what course to change to? ”
Hermione's joy could not be suppressed, and she stood up and took Li Lin's book over.
"The Elementary Application of Modern Alchemy?"
Hermione read the name of the first book. "In other words, you're going to take alchemy."
After saying this, Hermione continued to look at the book, not waiting for Li Lin's response, as if she was talking to herself.
"Hey, what's this book?" Hermione asked, quizzingly, holding the blank spell book.
"It's a magic book, the ancient wizard's casting medium, and this is the second exam content, which is to use magic to cast a levitation spell."
Putting down the book in her hand, Hermione felt a little strange in her heart.
"But isn't the magic book gone? I've seen in history books that spellbooks are fading faster than other spellcasting mediums. In fact, by the time Hogwarts was founded, spellbooks had been gone for many years, but there were still other spellcasting mediums in the time Hogwarts was founded. ”
Hermione paused, sticking out her tongue in embarrassment.
"I mean, the magic book has been gone for so long, but this blank magic book seems so new."
Li Lin sat down.
"Professor Felivier told me that it was Headmaster Dumbledore, and that his friend, Mr. Nicolame, helped me make it, and that he is the most skilled alchemist in the world right now."
"Wow, that's amazing." Hermione marveled, and she picked up the blank spellbook again and flipped through it.
But then Hermione put down the book and shifted her gaze to Li Lin.
"Let's get started."
"What?" Li Lin looked dazed.
Hermione tapped the magic book on the table and explained.
"Copying the Curse, we have to go to the library first to see if the version of the Levitation Spell still exists, after all, the Curse has been developed for so many years, and it is very likely that this original Magic Spell has disappeared. If the library doesn't have one, the only way to do it is to crack the Levitation Charm. ”
Li Lin blinked, and then suddenly felt that it was too early for him to be happy?
Using the magic text to release the levitation spell is definitely not a smooth thing, just whether the original version of the floating charm has a written record is a problem, and in the middle of this several pages of magic text, there can not be a single mistake or omission, otherwise it will be invalid.
So the next step was to search, first the Ravenclaw library, then the school library, and finally Hermione went to Professor Flitwick to sign and walked around the forbidden area.
Eventually, a mutilated version of the spell was found in a book.
So, after dinner, Hermione and Li Lin put their homework aside, and tonight's job was to crack the current version of the Floating Charm.
This is by no means a very demanding task. It's likely that a week of free time will be spent on this matter. At this time, Li Lin and Hermione, who were not doing their homework, attracted the attention of many people, and the more familiar classmates stepped forward to say hello, and after figuring out the reason why Li Lin and Hermione spread parchment all over the desk, they also began to help, but their interest was probably lost after spending a few minutes to launch a magic word.
But this can be regarded as a help, which reminds Li Lin.
After only an hour of work, Li Lin let Hermione go to rest, and he handed over the rest to the vampire wizards, after all, as the leader, shouldn't these subordinates help do something?
So for the next day and night, these vampire wizards worked tirelessly, and finally cracked the content of Li Lin's first-year exam course and the floating photos of the magic version.
The next thing Li Lin needs to do is to use his magic power to copy it, and then try to release it.
