Chapter 14: The Theory of Magic
Tuesday morning's class was a magic class, also known as Magic Theory, taught by Bussida Barbling.
Professor Barburing is a woman in her forties, very temperamental, her hair is wheat-colored, she looks very healthy, her pupils are a rare gray, and her eyes are calm and wise.
"The ancient magic text is also called Runiwen!" Barburing said in a clear voice, "This course is compulsory in the first year, and you will learn basic magic symbols and commonly used runes.
"Through one academic year, I hope you will have a broad understanding of the theory of magic, and you will be able to identify the purpose of the magic circle and understand the meaning of some simple symbols.
"After the first year, this course will become an elective course, and the difficulty of the course will gradually increase, and interested students can continue to study this esoteric subject.
"First of all, let me explain the runi script, which is a script used by ancient shamans, consisting of symbols and characters, and is not the alphabet that we commonly use today.
"You can think of Runiwen as an expression of magic, such as a magic array!
"The magic array is composed of a runiwen drinking array, our most common magic array is the fireplace in everyone's house, you need to carve 122 runifin and the corresponding array diagram inside, and then use it with Floo powder.
"You can think of the collection of runiwen as a magic that has not been activated in a fixed location, and the corresponding magic can only be activated if the corresponding requirements are met.
"In addition, every magic you cast is actually the result of the simplification of countless generations of wizards, and behind every spell, behind every wave of the wand, can be interpreted in Runiwen."
Bai Zhenyu knew this theory, and in the first three years of Huaxia's junior magic school, he mainly learned magic runes.
In terms of lectures alone, Professor Barblin is far worse than Professor McGonagall.
If Bai Zhenyu is asked to talk about it, he will take out a mobile phone, and then tell everyone that the current witchcraft has been simplified, just like the shell of this mobile phone.
Ru Niwen can explain the principles, drawings, design concepts, etc., all theoretical problems of various parts of the mobile phone.
The magic wand in everyone's hand is the system of the mobile phone, which can be configured to show different functions of the hardware of the mobile phone.
Bai Zhenyu immediately thought that wizards in Great Britain rarely used the technology of the ordinary human world, and Hogwarts even forbade students to carry any electronic products.
Little wizards also don't have the logical outlook of ordinary humans, and if you use mobile phones as an example, many students may not understand them.
However, Bai Zhenyu's example in his heart completely digested what Professor Babling had just said, but most of the students didn't understand it, and looked at Professor Babling blankly.
Professor Babling didn't explain much: "The entire wizarding world's contempt for Runiwen is very worrying.
"Nowadays, there are so many kinds of witchcraft that they can meet our daily needs, so people no longer value Runiwen, who can create new witchcraft.
"What if one day we need to create new sorcery, and no one understands Runivan?
"I want every student at Hogwarts to be proficient in Runewen, so that the most basic theories of witchcraft don't get lost."
Only then did Bai Zhenyu realize that Teacher Ba Buling's big move was originally used to "create new witchcraft".
Admittedly, who wouldn't want to create a new form of witchcraft that is widely circulated? What about leaving your own name in the wizarding world?
Sure enough, the students' enthusiasm was immediately high, and although they didn't understand much of what Professor Babling was talking about at the beginning, the students had enough aspirations for the future.
Next, Professor Ba Buring began to teach some common runi pronunciation and writing conventions, and Bai Zhenyu noticed that the western runi script was very similar to the oracle bone script used in the Chinese wizarding world.
It is a hieroglyphic script, not the mainstream alphabetic script in the Western world today.
It seems that the wizarding world is similar in terms of basic theories, and even the appearance of the magic text is very similar.
In the first class, we only learned ten runes, and most of the students were already a little dizzy.
And Bai Zhenyu has already had a similar learning experience, but he still feels that he is at ease.
After finishing the morning class, Bai Zhenyu continued to go to the library with Hermione, but today he met Headmaster Dumbledore halfway through.
He looked like he was walking down the hallway, occasionally stopping to admire the flowers blooming outside the window.
Bai Zhenyu was about to pretend that he didn't see it, and walked quickly to the library.
Hermione greeted politely, "Headmaster Dumbledore! ”
Bai Zhenyu slapped his forehead, he usually didn't want to be close to Harry, let alone communicate with Dumbledore.
However, Hermione has apparently become Dumbledore's wingman now, and she is really worthy of her name "Hermione Wingman Granger".
Dumbledore smiled and replied, "Hello, I was about to call you just now." ”
He paused and said to Hermione, "Dear Miss Granger, may I speak to your companion?" ”
"Absolutely." Hermione smiled and said to Bai Zhenyu, "I'll go to the library first." ”
In Hermione's eyes, the principal's talk to Bai Zhenyu is his attention or affirmation, and maybe he will teach Bai Zhenyu some tricks to use magic, this little girl is still happy for Bai Zhenyu.
Bai Zhenyu tried to adjust his mentality and cheered up to face Dumbledore.
Speaking of which, Bai Zhenyu is not hostile to Dumbledore, but after all, he came with a mission, and he is ...... Ahem, be careful when dealing with the wise Headmaster Dumbledore.
"Looks like you've adjusted to life at Hogwarts." Dumbledore smiled kindly.
"Yes, Headmaster." Bai Zhenyu said: "The environment here is very good, and the classmates are more friendly. ”
The two of them began to walk around the castle, and Dumbledore said, "I know your grandfather, he is a very talented young man!" ”
Dumbledore is over a hundred years old this year, and in his eyes, Bai Zhenyu's grandfather is indeed a "young man".
"I know your grandfather," Dumbledore smiled, "and it was fifty or sixty years ago. ”
He showed a hint of sadness: "It's a pity that he died in the wizarding war against Cochin. ”
"We're called Sacrifice, Headmaster Dumbledore." Bai Zhenyu said: "I have heard stories about my grandfather since I was a child, and it is said that he single-handedly overturned several great wizards of the Soviet State to support Jiaozhi!" ”
"It's a pity that your grandfather died," Dumbledore said, spreading his hands, "wizards shouldn't be involved in Muggle strife." ”
Bai Zhenyu still kept smiling: "Mr. Headmaster, there are no Muggles in Huaxia, only the difference between the 'ordinary human world' and the 'wizarding world'. ”
This is the difference in ideology between the two sides, and the two people stopped at the point and did not continue to talk about this topic.
Professor Dumbledore said with his hands behind his back a little yearning: "When I see you, I think of the food of China, which is really evocative." ”
Bai Zhenyu smiled: "Today I only learned that my appearance can make people have a great appetite. ”
Dumbledore laughed, "You're so much funnier than your grandfather, he always likes to keep his face tight." ”
Almost a second or two, the smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared, "Okay, now you can tell me, in the Hogwarts library, did you find a clue about your mission?" ”
