Chapter 16: Calvin's World in Pictures
Saying goodbye to Harry, Fred and George find Cedric in Hufflepuff. The three of them went to the office together to find Professor Capet.
The three of them saw a note posted on the office door: Just come in. Then he opened the door to his office.
However, there was no Calvin in the office, only the civet cat sleeping on the desk.
The only difference from last time is that there are two paintings of delicate wooden doors hanging on the wall.
"Well, it looks like the professor isn't here." George said with a smile.
However, Cedric bent down and said earnestly to the sleeping civet, "Amor, do you know where the professor has gone?" ”
Amor looked up, glanced at Cedric, meowed at the two paintings on the wall, and went back to sleep.
"In the painting". Cedric said firmly.
"Seid, you must be mistaken, how could Professor Capet be in the painting." George was a little unconvinced.
At this moment, the wooden door painted on the left side of the wall suddenly opened, and Calvin stepped out of it.
"You're here early, a quarter of an hour before half-past seven. If Amor hadn't informed me, you'd have had to wait a while. Calvin took off his mud-stained cloak, and Amor split into three, helping him get a clean robe.
Both George and Fred's eyes widened in disbelief. This is the second time that Professor Cape's magic paintings have surpassed their imagination. Cedric was much calmer, after all, Calvin had told him that magic painting could do a lot of things.
Fred poked his head out to examine the painting on the wall, but couldn't see any clues, so he asked incredulously, "Professor, you wouldn't have used the Traceless Stretching Charm on this painting, would you?" ”
"No," Calvin said, changing into his robes, "it's just a magic painting." That's not what you're learning. Something for me. ”
The twins pulled out two pieces of parchment paper and a pair of brass bookmarks, and Cedric placed a roll of drawing paper on his desk.
Calvin took the twins' papers first, and at the same time waved his wand, and a large sofa appeared behind the three of them, and a force pushed the three of them to sit down. The civet named Amor walked up to the three of them with three cups of coffee.
"A good paper, inheriting the ideas of predecessors but also having their own unique views, although a little fanciful but not particularly outrageous. It's just that your horizons are a little narrow, don't just focus on the direction of pranks, or do you want to be the next Jokowi? ”
George and Fred blushed and couldn't even drink their coffee, trying to make a defense.
Calvin then took the pair of brass bookmarks: "This bookmark is more like a complete alchemical artifact than the last time I took out the mirror, with two main cores, three secondary cores, and one secondary core. Very well, you passed my test. ”
Calvin took Cedric's scroll and wanted to unfold it directly, but when he caught a glimpse of Cedric's cramped expression, he kept looking at the Weasley brothers next to him, and then adjusted his posture and turned the back of the canvas to George and Fred, which made Cedric breathe a sigh of relief.
The scroll depicts a witch in a Hogwarts uniform, with the appearance of a Far Easterner, and two dimples on her face when she laughs.
Calvin secretly smacked his tongue, young man, it is easy to fall into the whirlpool of love and can't extricate himself, how can he learn magic in the future like this? When I was so old, I was still contemplating the mysteries of magic, and although there were any math sisters and juniors in Beauxbatons who wanted to give me a hug, they were all rejected by me. Women only affect the speed at which I cast spells.
Calvin returned the papers, bookmarks, and scrolls to the trio: "I'll teach you alchemy on Friday and weekend evenings, and take care of fantastic beasts for me on weekend afternoons." I know you're all on a Quidditch team, and I'll grab some students from confinement to help you. ”
Then he got up and walked to the magic painting with the wooden door on the right, opened the wooden door on the painting, and made a gesture of please to the three students.
"Welcome to Calvin Capet's – The World in Pictures."
As soon as the three of them wanted to get up, they only felt that the entire office shook and deformed, and the world around them quickly faded color, leaving only black and white.
Cedric raised his arms and found himself made up of lines drawn in ink. Looking up into the distance, the whole world looks like an ink painting, even Professor Capet and the Weasley twins. He has always been mature and steady, and he inevitably exclaimed: "It's amazing." ”
"Professor Capet! Are we in your paintings? One of the twins asked.
Cedric couldn't tell who he was, the two of them looked alike, and now it was even harder to tell if they looked like this.
Calvin in ink painting nodded, this is the world in the painting, and it is also his world. He often conducts dangerous experiments in the world to avoid attracting the attention of the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government.
But then Calvin discovered that drawing the world in battle could work wonders. Although his strength is difficult to find in the entire wizarding world, he is still restrained in the face of righteous siege - he is afraid that he will kill all the opponents if he is not careful. For killings, Calvin still wanted to avoid them as much as possible.
As long as he brings the enemy into the world in the painting, it is basically up to him. With this hand, he single-handedly fought against twenty-six purges in North America and rescued an Indian witch from them.
Unless there is an enemy who is equally proficient in magic painting and memory magic, can fight for control of magic painting from him, or tear the scroll with powerful magic, then Calvin Capet is invincible in the world of painting.
"Professor, can we learn this magic?" Fred looked at Calvin expectantly.
"That's what Cedric is learning, but I'll teach all three of you at the same time, and it's up to you how much you learn. I wouldn't object to you communicating on your own after class. ”
"Start class now."
Calvin waved his hand, and three tables rose in front of the three of them, one full of pens, paints, and canvases for painting, and the other two tables filled with alchemical materials.
Calvin began teaching the trio painting and alchemy. Cedric was as calm as ever, and the Weasley brothers showed rare patience and concentrated on Calvin's alchemy.
About six hours later, Calvin takes the sweaty trio out of the world in the painting. In an instant, the three of them collapsed on the sofa.
Calvin also shook a little, but fortunately, Amor served the hot chocolate in time, and Calvin stabilized his figure. Playing the world in the painting is not without a price. Maintaining the world for six hours was also a great challenge to his mental and physical strength.
"Professor, we've got to spend the night in your office tonight, and we're sure to be caught by Filch when we go back like this." ”
"I changed the speed of time in the world in the painting, and it was not yet ten o'clock, and I hurried back to my dormitory after drinking hot chocolate, and I was not allowed to swim in the castle at night. Hurry up, don't let anyone else see you like this. Calvin adjusted his breathing and said. If a professor and three students were seen slumped in their office, covered in sweat, Calvin would have no choice but to use the Oblivion Charm.
