Chapter 13: Magic

"Devil's web, is a vine plant that prefers a dark and damp living environment. Mature devil's webs are capable of stretching out tendrils like snakes around creatures that come close to them, causing casualties. Because it likes yin, ignition is a useful method in the event of a devil's net attack. When the character's whole body relaxes and no longer struggles, the devil's net will be released and the character will be released, remember. In addition, in some cases, the devil's net will also disguise its appearance, such as turning into a crab claw orchid. ”

In the second greenhouse of Hogwarts Castle, Pomona Sprout, the professor of herbology, pointed to the vine-like plants on the side. She was a short, gray-haired witch. She wears a thick hat covered in patches, covered in dirt, and has bloated dragonskin gloves on her hands.

Norlin has a crush on the professor. She always spends time in the greenhouse tending with flowers and plants, and her love for plants is stubborn, which is evident in her clothes. She is an optimistic and compassionate person, and has been working with Professors McGonagall and Flitwick for an early age.

Kind people are always more popular, and with a curiosity about exotic plants, herb classes have become a favorite among Ravenclaw's young wizards.

"I think you guys should write it down, it will be of great help to you when you encounter the Devil's Net in the future." Professor Sprout said kindly, raising an eyebrow at Norlin, "Hmm...... What do you say, Mr. Davis?"

"Okay, Professor." Suddenly being named, Norlin was a little embarrassed and hurriedly replied. The lesson was attended by Ravenclaw and Slytherin, and the little snakes were interested in what they thought was a boring lesson, but Norlin focused on a little witch who was looking at plants not far away, and was slightly distracted.

"So, can anyone answer what this plant is?" Seeing Norlin come back to his senses, Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction and asked, pointing to the plants next to the devil's net. The plant looks like a small gray cactus, but instead of spines, it is covered with tumors that throb slightly, like diseased internal organs.

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the Ravenclaws raised his hand.

"Oh, Miss Zhang?"

"It's Mibu Mibao, it has a very strong self-defense mechanism, and when it receives an external attack, its tumor is a powerful weapon, which will spew out a lot of viscous and foul-smelling liquid to attack the enemy." Zhang Qiu replied thoughtfully.

Standard answer. Ravenclaw plus 5 points! Professor Sprout said with a smile.

She continued to walk forward, leading the young wizards through the magical plants one by one. In fact, Nolin knew all of these magical plants, after all, he had read the herbal medicine textbook several times and memorized it by heart. He thought for a moment and walked towards the Slytherin maiden.

Elena Selwyn stood in front of a field of pure white furry plants in the greenhouse, her delicate little face full of seriousness, not knowing what she was thinking.

"It's a down cat, a variant of the dandelion." Norin spoke, "It can be used to make a Joy Potion. ”

Elena turned her head to look at him, as if she was a little surprised by his arrival. She continued to look at the down cattail, and then said, "It's cute." ”

Norlin smiled. He thought that the girl was thinking about some profound question, but he didn't expect it to be the answer. Also, little girls at this age, cute things always have a strong attraction to them.

"There's more cute stuff out there, I'll show you when I get a chance." Norlin said half-jokingly.

The girl's eyes seemed to be a little moved, and she answered softly: "Okay." ”

The second class was the Charms class with Professor Flius Flitwick, who was also the head of Norin and them. The Charms classroom was on the fourth floor, and when Norlin and Ravenclaw hurried to the room, Professor Flitwick had already arrived.

Due to his elven blood, Flitwick's professor was a little short, but that didn't stop him from becoming a good master of spells, and he won dueling tournaments at a young age. With a wave of his wand, his body soared into the air and landed on the pile of books on his desk.

"Kids, welcome to Charms class. I'm sure you'll love this wonderful course. Spells are an exact science, and unlike potions and transfiguration, they are ancient wizarding skills that have been passed down by word of mouth, and cannot be mastered by the unwieldy and rigorous. Professor Flitwick said simply, "So, turn your Standard Spell to Chapter Three, Section One." ”

Norlin opened the textbook as he had said, and this section was about levitation.

"As you can see, we're going to learn flotation in this class." With a flick of Professor Flitwick's wand, a white feather appeared on the table.

"I'll give you an example first. Note that when using the wand, first wave and then shake - Yuga Dim Leviosa. He recited the incantation in a slow voice, and with a swing of his wand flicked towards the feather. Then, in the surprised eyes of the little wizards, the feathers floated steadily.

Professor Flitwick's wand clicked again, and a feather appeared on everyone's table. He said with a little expectation, "You practice on your own first." Don't forget the mantras and gestures, pronounce the mantra clearly and place the gestures accurately. Let's go. ”

The sound of a levitation spell immediately resounded in the classroom. Obviously, it is not easy to succeed in the first spell, and Smith beside Norlin turned red as he chanted the spell, and waved his wand again, but his feathers did not move. And this is a common phenomenon in the classroom.

Norin was amused for a while, but he hadn't succeeded before, so he quickly restrained his smile, looked dignified, waved his wand, and shouted at the feather on the table: "Yugadim Leviosa!" ”

As he chanted the incantation, it was as if a fluttering force poured out of his mind, following his movements into his right hand, and finally releasing it through his wand. Feathers rise in response.

"It seems that the first one has already appeared." Flitwick looked at the feather that was floating high and seemed a little abrupt, and said happily, "Mr. Davis, you earned 5 points for Ravenclaw!" ”

The little wizards looked sideways, and Norlin was overjoyed as he recalled the spell casting process just now. That force had vanished without a trace, as if it had never been seen before. Norlin subconsciously felt that it was a delusion, but his intuition told him that it was not.

"Norin, tell me how you did it." Smith poked him and asked in a whisper. After a few more attempts, the feather still wouldn't move, and Smith thought he was going crazy.

"Just do what the professor says." Norlin gave a standard answer, which he himself was a little confused about. He didn't know where that power came from or why it was gone, so he had to try it over and over again.

The feathers of the "Feather Digm Leviosa ......" are once again floating in the air. This time, Norlin was very attentive, but he still couldn't perceive accurately, only a vague impression.

I had no choice but to consult Professor Flitwick...... Norin smiled wryly and shook his head.

As time passed, new floating feathers slowly appeared in the classroom, but Norlin didn't have time to pay attention. That strange power took over all of his mind.

After class, he let a weeping Smith go first and informed Professor Flitwick of the problem.

"What?" Professor Flitwick, who was sorting out his textbooks, was taken aback, and his characteristic elf eyebrows were raised, "You can sense the presence of magic now?" ”

"Magic?" Norlin grasped the word accurately and repeated it in confusion.

"Well......" Professor Flitwick said after a moment of deep thought, "come with me to the office." ”

Professor Flitwick's office is on the eighth floor of the castle, near the West Tower, and is filled with various magical books and magical items. The desk is a little cluttered with odd little things.

"Sit down." With a wave of Professor Flitwick's wand, a small couch appeared out of thin air. He motioned for Norlin to sit down, turning his head to rummage through the bookshelves.

After a while, he held a book about his size on his desk, let out a long breath, and sat down in his office chair. Norlin glanced at the title of the book, "Magic Interpretation and Meditation."

"I didn't think you would have such a high level of magical talent...... Professor Flitwick began, "and it will be a few years before you will be able to perceive the presence of magic." But since you've got access to it now, I'll tell you about it. ”

"Magic is the most fundamental power we have to unleash magic."
