Chapter 55: Magic should be three-dimensional
For the past few nights, Benjamin has been studying the curse on him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
From what he consulted, the unicorn's curse was a sustainable, slow-death curse.
Half of it can keep you alive for about three years.
So, Benjamin had three years to remove the curse.
Of course, Benjamin must have wanted to do it as soon as possible, and the feeling of the magic slowly passing away drove him crazy.
However, the palliative potion that Draco had given him did work, at least after the potion entered his body, Benjamin felt that his whole body was starting to heat up, and then the magic that had been lost seemed to have recovered somewhat.
Although he didn't know if it was just his delusion, Benjamin carefully set the rest of the potion aside.
Barrow the Bloody hasn't been to see Benjamin in the past few days, although Miss Skeleton has repeatedly reminded Benjamin that he should be on the lookout for this ghost with an axe and not a good guy at first glance.
Benjamin still didn't make any moves, he would rather spend all his time in the library than to find out what the bloody Barrow was for.
Perhaps, it was a mutiny? Benjamin was not too surprised by this result, seeing that the master, who was not very strong in the first place, came to a new world, became weaker, and it seemed to be human nature to want to leave.
However, Benjamin understands that understanding, and forgiveness is impossible. He was waiting for an opportunity to punish it.
On Friday night, Hermione came to see Benjamin once.
She wanted to talk to Benjamin, the Dark Arts. In order not to be discovered by Potter and Ron, she also made up a reason why she was ready to start reviewing her homework.
Harry and Ron focused on wizarding chess.
"Dark magic, what do you want to talk about? You want to tell me it's not as scary as you think?" said Benjamin, sitting in the far corner of the library.
In his hand was a copy of Some Uncommon Curses.
Hermione's expression looked a little embarrassed when Benjamin said this, and she subconsciously wrapped a few hairs around her hand before saying:
"Well, it can be summed up like this. Actually, I don't understand, why did you think to send this book to me?"
Hermione leaned forward slightly.
Benjamin put the book down in his hand, and after a Christmas holiday, he looked a little more mature, and although he was still a teenager, there was a morbid beauty in his gestures.
"That's a good question, and I actually want you to teach me, science. You see, I have this book in my hand, about curses. Curses must have been introduced in the Dark Arts, right?" said Benjamin, who was now fluent in the upper London accent.
Hermione had the illusion that she was discussing the lesson with her professor, and she tried to straighten her back before saying.
"Yes, there are indeed curses mentioned in it, and we have some basic curses that we have corresponding magic dispels. But in the face of an unknown curse, you need to find out where it comes from and then analyze it with your experience. What does all this have to do with science?"
In fact, before Hermione came to Hogwarts, she had already prepared all the lessons for the third year of the average middle school student.
"Don't you think it's all nonsense? You think a wizard who doesn't even understand the principles of a curse can figure out how to dispel a curse he hasn't seen before? "Maybe try to construct a model of the curse. ”
"Models, you mean you want to make these abstract magic like formulas, Benjamin, you're crazy, magic has no laws at all, it's unscientific in itself!" Hermione said, standing up, surprised.
As if hemione had expected to be so excited, Benjamin looked as usual. He just sat Hermione down, and then showed a look on, well, a little weak.
"Actually, I've fallen under an unknown curse that is devouring my life. I didn't tell anyone, but I could feel it eating away at my body little by little. My only hope now is science, Hermione. ”
Benjamin felt that he could win a trophy for his performance.
And Benjamin's own overly pale and thin appearance made his words sound very convincing.
Eventually, Hermione agreed, swearing, she was only humanitarian.
So the two agreed that every Friday night would be their science time.
The name was suggested by Benjamin, and he thought it was cool.
"Do you think magic is flat or three-dimensional?" asked Benjamin as he read the book.
Hermione looked at a book of spells, and then wrote down all the spells on it, looking for patterns in the combination.
"Benjamin, don't ask weird questions. Hermione said angrily, then continued, "Well, I think it's three-dimensional, maybe it's a regular hexahedron." ”
"Interesting idea. Benjamin opened his math book and began to look at it with relish.
An hour later.
"I seem to have found a pattern!" Hermione screamed, and then she immediately covered her mouth, she didn't want to be kicked out by the librarian at all, not at all.
Benjamin motioned for her to relax and asked, "What pattern?"
Hermione said with some smugness, "Like this, the petrification charm, which can turn an enemy into a stone statue. This, petrified skin, is able to make your skin as hard as a rock. In fact, the former's spell just has one more "s" than the latter. ”
"You're so smart. Benjamin complimented sincerely, which made Hermione's face flush suddenly.
Unbeknownst to him, Hermione's heart was beating at an unusual rate.
It was an amazing feeling.
It's just that after that, there was no new progress between the two of them. Seeing Hermione's somewhat frustrated expression, Benjamin comforted.
"We still have time, it's okay, I think I should be able to try to build a model next week. According to what you said, regular hexahedron. ”
Hermione laughed, and then she slung her bag on her back and trotted away.
Funny little girl.
Benjamin looked at her back and shook his head. He was still very satisfied with today's progress, and he even had a hunch that he and Hermione might find something that would shock the entire wizarding world.
Of course, before that, he had to go to Hogsmeade once.
From behind the statue of the One-Eyed Witch.
