Chapter 153: First foray into the starry sky

After the practical examination of herbal medicine, the first-year freshmen rarely had an extra day to spare.

On this extra day, they will use it to review astronomy.

Because in the astronomy class, the theoretical score accounts for only 20 percent, and the practical score accounts for 80 percent.

When Ralph and the others learned of this ratio, they were all stunned, and hurriedly went to the seniors to confirm.

However, Ralph asked in vain, because it was the first time they had encountered a situation.

The seniors are desperately spreading their hands, and they are the same, 80% practical and 20% theoretical.

That wasn't the case before, they said.

In the past, astronomy classes only had simple theory exams, and practical exams did not even have a bit of information.

In other words, all students at Hogwarts now, with the exception of Year 7, need to face a new type of astronomy exam.

As for the seventh year, it is extremely stressful to take the ultimate wizarding exam, and the changes do not include them.

It is also to get them a good score in the Ultimate Wizard Exam ().

Fortunately, Professor Sinista gave the content of the practical exam in advance, so that everyone had time to practice.

That is to identify the stars.

If it weren't for exam week, the students would have wanted to ask their centaur friends.

However, not all grades have time to revise.

Ralph and the others were on break, and some grades were taking turns for astronomy practice exams.

Time flies, and it's time for the astronomy exam for first-year freshmen.

The test was held at the Observatory, but the sky was full of dark clouds.

However, the freshmen did not have any doubts, because the seniors had already told them how to take the exam.

Professor Sinista uses magic to conjure up the stars on the observatory, and the students only need to follow the professor's prompts to find the corresponding stars.

It is worth mentioning that the stars are not static.

These signs will change according to Professor Sinista's will to adapt to more students.

The changed stars are real, recorded by the professor based on Hogwarts and the passage of time.

Moreover, Professor Sinista does not ask about just one star, nor does he ask only about the same astrological sign at the same time.

She may ask about the position of the same star in the horoscope at different times;

It is also possible to ask about the positions of different stars in the astrological signs at the same time.

Of course, in addition to the individual stars, there are also questions about the constellations.

Generally, the constellations are asked first, and then the individual stars.

If the answer is good, Professor Sinista will tell you about the extra points and ask if you want to join.

Moreover, when you meet a student who is really good at theoretical knowledge, the professor will even invite you to take a test with a bonus point, and the score is also 5 points.

But the seniors told them not to agree to the invitation.

The real celestial phenomena are completely different from the astrological phenomena simulated by the professor, and the weather cannot be perfect, so there are always some regrets.

However, by the time Ralph knew about it, it was too late, and they had already agreed.

It should be said that most of the Ravenclaw classmates participated.

….

The next night, the students who were eligible to take the extra points test and agreed, were called into the Room of Request.

Looking at the familiar scene, a door suddenly appeared on the wall, opening the door and entering.

Ralph, they knew it was the Room of Need.

In order to better study the stars and rule out the influence of weather on observations, this room was created.

Professor Sinista called it the "Planetarium".

Based on her needs, the Room of Requirement simulates the upper limit of what it can reach.

Then, the professors came to help, and the improvement was made on the basis of the room of requirement, and finally the current success was achieved

Fruit.

The planetarium is circular in shape and has walls about 1.3 meters high. The ceiling is a hemispherical shape that covers the room.

It has two states, one is the non-observed state; The second is the state of observation.

In the first state, the walls and ceiling of the planetarium are revealed.

The room is filled with a dim and soft light, and I don't know where it comes from, but I can only see the general idea of things.

For places that needed light, the professors prepared a magic candle or a magic flame in a transparent cup.

But their light is only limited to a spherical range of a certain radius.

On the hemispherical ceiling, magically evolved stars are circulating.

This sign is the astrological sign of the previous moment at that time, including the daytime.

In the beginning, it took a lot of time and effort for the professors, including Dumbledore, to come up with this feature.

Dumbledore did a lot of the work, and the other professors really couldn't do it.

We all know that the light of each star in the sky is different, and the magical meaning contained in it is also different.

Based on this, the professors analyzed the starlight of all the stars that have been observed so far, encoded it, and recorded it.

Some of the stars used for positioning are marked in the blank star map in the planetarium system.

After the general constellation and some familiar positioning stars are marked in the star map, the system will collect the starlight itself and mark it in the corresponding position of the star map according to the difference between the starlight.

Professor Sinista also uploaded the star map he compiled to the system for comparison.

If a star is not in the right position, the corresponding star in the astrological chart circulating on the ceiling will emit a persistent red light.

Its position on the teaching chart is empty, and it will flash red there.

A red dotted line will also appear between the two.

At this time, it is up to the professors to determine whether there is a problem with the system or a problem with her star map.

Secondly, if an unfamiliar star is detected, the system will also record it in its own star map, and it will continue to glow green.

The second state is the observation mode.

This mode is not open to any young wizards, as it is dangerous.

In this mode, walls and ceilings become transparent.

At the same time, some of the towers of Hogwarts Castle will be topped by hidden telescopes.

Originally, these telescopes evolved on their own from the Room of Requirement.

However, in order to reduce the consumption of mana and the malicious gaze of the extraterrestrial world, the professors replaced them.

….

Dumbledore had them record the telescope's data, and he took it to an old friend.

Soon, he brought back several astronomical telescopes that exuded an air of luxury.

Give it to the Room of Requirement and help the House of Request assimilate it into a part of itself.

The Room of Requirement moved it to the same place where the analog telescope had been placed.

At the same time, Dumbledore brought over a large number of glasses.

Both the binoculars and the glasses were made by Dumbledore after Nicol Lemay.

They can reduce the exposure of the wizard's magic when observing, so as not to interact with something magically and attract attention.

Later, Lemay really couldn't let go, for fear that something would happen to Hogwarts and lead to the destruction of the entire wizarding world, and he came to Hogwarts.

However, these are secret things, and no one knows about them except the professors at Hogwarts.

Now that they were all here, Mr. and Mrs. Lemay didn't think about leaving right away.

Having cast a spell on himself, the professors surrounded the Lemay and his wife and walked around Hogwarts.

Sensing the change in Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, Mr. and Mrs. Lemay also sent their blessings, as well as some small gifts.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout thanked and accepted the present.

"The elders give it, and you can't say goodbye."

Compared to the Lemay couple, they are still a junior.

Walking on the lawn, looking at the cheerful and energetic students, Mr. and Mrs. Lemay glanced at each other and smiled happily, as if thinking of the time when they were young.

Rotten souls, old bodies, if it weren't for the hustle and bustle of the world and the responsibilities they bear, they would have chosen to leave long ago.

However, they have also begun to prepare for death, but they have been preparing for a long time.

After a general walk around Hogwarts and a look at the young children, they headed to the Room of Requirement.

The first thing to go to is the baptistery.

Listening to Dumbledore's introduction, Nicol looked at the jade platform and then at Professor McGonagall.

"This material has changed completely!"

Nicol said.

"I don't know what happened."

Professor McGonagall said truthfully.

"It's alright, Minerva. In Transfiguration, you're going to go far ahead of Dumbledore. Don't be presumptuous, you're on this path, and he's not."

After Nicol finished speaking, he went to study the jade stone platform.

He didn't dare to be interested in baptism or something, and let the Squib become a wizard, and he could do it, but the effort was not proportional to the income.

What he was really interested in was the will above, the will of Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.

This thing is mysterious and mysterious, and it is rare to be as active as Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.

Like his and his wife's alma mater, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, none of them gave birth to anything resembling the will of Hogwarts.

Perhaps it has something to do with the timing of the school's founding, after all, Hogwarts was founded much earlier than all the schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe.

After only a brief probing, he gave up.

Because he sensed the wariness of the two wisps of will, if he did something out of the ordinary, Dumbledore would also take action.

….

Afterwards, they arrived at Professor Flitwick's magic lab.

All the magic pattern products researched by the students are available here.

This also includes Professor Flitwick's own automatic magic stamping system.

The Professor's Notes and Workbook are also placed here, as the former's content update system is placed here.

Professor Flitwick enthusiastically introduced the students' inventions to the Lemay couple, with a particular focus on the products they intended to put on the shelves of the store.

The magic pattern products to be put on the shelves are:

Drink bottles, including the Horn Bottle and Alved's Bottle, for which Nicol was more interested in the potions inside.

That's right, these bottles are filled with potions, in order to highlight their effects.

In particular, the corner bottle of blank flavor enhancer exists in three states: silver, gold, and gold and silver.

After communicating with the professors, Nicol was not in a hurry, because he would be able to enjoy it soon.

Later, he saw the earthen flower pot, which was just the shape of an ordinary flower pot, with some more magic patterns, constituting a unique function.

With a slight smile, he shifted his gaze to the next product.

This was the one he was most interested in, Lily and Pandora's contract paper.

Professor Flitwick can only give a general introduction to these products, and in the end, it is Dumbledore who has experienced them.

Nicol and his wife listened patiently.

After listening, they thought for a while, and Nicol moved his mouth to say what he thought.

The majestic magic surged softly in him, and everyone present could see some sense of disobedience in him.

As Nicol finished speaking, a book quietly appeared in the air.

Nicol handed it to Professor Flitwick and said:

"Here are some of my thoughts, you can take a look at them, and please help me pass them on to those two girls in the end."

Professor Flitwick solemnly answered

Go over the book and nod your head.

After reading the products inside, Nicol spoke highly of their "Professor's Notes" and "Workbook".

Next, they made their way to Professor Sgrahorn's magic laboratory.

Actually, it wasn't Professor Sgrahorn's magic lab, because Professor Sgrahorn wasn't used to making potions here.

This room houses a large number of new recipes and potion samples from the students.

At the same time, it is also the central point for the various Potions laboratories to access potions.

In the cabinet against the wall on one side, it was full of parchment, and these were written applications.

If you need a potion in the Potions Magic Lab, you can apply directly in your own Potions Lab, but you will need to write an application form.

If the application is not in the right format, it will be rejected.

After a bit of strolling, they went to Ralph's "slug" magic room.

It was there that the Lemay couple finally got their wish to concoct their favorite flavor and named it "French Style", leaving the recipe to the children.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @,.install the latest version.] 】

Drinking their own drinks, everyone returned to the topic and came to the planetarium.

After a brief tour, Nicol told them what he had planned.

He plans to use some means to collect the astronomical telescope into the scene, filter it continuously, and eventually gather it on the ceiling.

….

By constantly refracting and penetrating some mediums, the outside gaze in the scene reaches a minimum, and even if it causes magical interaction, it will not cause much reaction.

Finally, he also molded a transparent protective film on the surface of the hemispherical ceiling.

This protective film served the same purpose as the telescope and glasses he had given Dumbledore.

They all block the magic in the wizard's gaze to the greatest extent, making the wizard's gaze more geared towards the Muggle's gaze.

In this way, even if there is a collision of eyes, the magic inside is not enough to generate interaction and send out information.

Under the surging magic, materials floated out of Nicol's clothes, merging with each other in the air.

Everything was so calm.

Until, a silent sound burst in everyone's ears, and everyone saw that the liquid suspended in the air suddenly spread out and evenly attached to the ceiling.

Not only that, but Nicol directly attached a layer to the walls of the entire room.

Finally, there was excess liquid suspended around Nicol.

He took out a small box and filled it with the liquid with a casual pull.

He then tossed the box to Dumbledore and gave it to Hogwarts.

Turning on the observation mode, they gaze at the gorgeous scene in the dark universe together.

I was addicted to it for a while.

Starry sky! So wonderful!

Heart, moved. Desire will not stop its expansion.

At the same time, a strange wave of magic power quietly floated in the planetarium.

Hogwarts Chase Storm.
