Chapter 196: Magic, the Heart's Desire
When the other students on the road saw Ralph and brought back two pots of flowers, one of which was still golden, they couldn't help but be full of envy.
After greeting the classmates, a few people hurriedly returned to the dormitory and put the lamp grass in the corner of the toilet.
The sunflower was placed on a large round table in the center of the dormitory.
Several people sat around the round table, looking curiously at the sunflower in the center.
Sunflowers resemble Muggle sunflowers, cultivated by Professor Sprout, and are not as tall and more like potted ornamental plants.
Ralph's sunflower bloomed only one flower, at the top of the plant, the size of a pot, the petals were golden yellow, the size of a baby's palm, a total of 12 pieces, scattered with soft light, and in the center was a dark yellow-brown melon seed nursery.
At Ralph's request, Professor Sprout chose a sunflower for him that could continuously produce sunflower seeds.
It has the same properties as a sunflower and will follow the sun, but it has a better real-time tracking ability than a sunflower.
The leaves of the sunflower are concentrated at the bottom, which are broad, thin leaves, spreading out of the pot, and at the junction of the flower and the stem, there are also a few small leaves growing, as if holding the flower.
"The professor is amazing! So many sunflowers have been cultivated. ”
Daniel was a little incredulous, and at the same time a little looking forward to his future career in potions refining.
When they talked to Professor Sgrahorn before, they knew that there were many potions that could not be refined now, and many of them were made of sunflowers.
"Yes! I just don't know how this sunflower seed should be made to taste better. ”
Claude said that he won Ralph's heart.
"Is there a potion for dealing with sunflower seeds?"
Ralph looked at Daniel and asked.
"Enough for the two of you, not really."
William listened and shook his head.
"I don't know."
Daniel said, startled by Ralph and Claude's staring eyes.
"Why don't we study this aspect of the potion this semester, there are automatic cooking in the spell, and there should be one in the potion as well."
Claude said very seriously, and Ralph nodded in agreement.
"Is this really good?"
Daniel asked worriedly.
"Yes! What if there are other tasks scheduled? ”
William was on the side.
"Finish the professor's task first, and we're working on our own."
Claude said.
At the insistence of Ralph and Claude, William and Daniel had no choice but to agree.
A few people stayed in the dormitory for a while, and they always felt that something was wrong.
"Did we forget to eat dinner?"
Daniel asked suddenly.
The four of them looked at each other, all a little embarrassed, so focused on the matter of the sunflower that they forgot the time.
"Ralph? Didn't you go to eat? ”
As he walked through the common room, a wizard of the same grade asked.
"Forgot. We're getting ready to go now. What's wrong. ”
Ralph said with some embarrassment.
When the people present heard this, they were all a little stunned, can they forget the meal?
"Then go to dinner first. We'd like to ask you for some cleansing spells, so there's no rush. ”
The wizard said with a smile, touching his nose, apparently for the first time saying such a thing.
"Well, okay. We'll come back after dinner. ”
Ralph said, under their gaze, and left the common room.
As soon as they left the common room, Ralph wanded a little, and the four of them became invisible.
The next act was very skillful, and he went to the stairs and waited patiently for the spiral staircase to go away.
When they spin and walk away, they jump forward.
There was a muffled sound, and they were bounced back, and the students who passed by in the corridor not far away looked and curiously withdrew their gaze.
"Hiss~"
The four covered their foreheads and looked at each other.
"When did an invisible wall appear?"
William said.
"Maybe I'm afraid that some students will fall to their deaths."
Claude touched his forehead and explained.
"I guess so."
Ralph waved his wand, and a simple [healing spell] enveloped the foreheads of the four people, and a cool feeling came, and it didn't hurt at once.
"Thank you, Ralph. The professors didn't say a word to us either. ”
Daniel also complained.
Ralph threw out a bolt of magic and climbed along the invisible wall.
Suddenly, the walls disappeared. When Ralph looked, it turned out that the stairs had been brought back.
It appears that this invisible wall only appears when the landing and staircase are disconnected.
"Shall we go down? Still is? ”
Daniel asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll see if there is an end to this wall."
Ralph said. Everyone has no opinion, so it's free.
The platform and staircase disconnected, the invisible wall reappeared, and Ralph threw another bolt of magic and began to climb.
Install the latest version. 】
After a while, he raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Is there an end? ”
William asked.
"Yes. And it's not high. Are we going to fly over? ”
Ralph asked.
"Yes, yes!"
William was the first to agree, and seeing that Daniel and Claude were still a little hesitant, he also stepped forward to mobilize, and after a while, they also agreed.
With a flick of Ralph's wand, the four of them floated up and down the wall of air.
In the process of falling, the four of them suddenly paused, as if they had fallen on a trampoline, and they went down with difficulty for a while before they were bounced up.
During this time, Daniel called out.
Luckily, Ralph reacted quickly, and threw a [Silent Spell] at Daniel, waiting for him to recover before lifting.
Although he was intimidated at first, Daniel, like the other three, found it quite funny.
"Can't we get down?"
Claude asked, looking down, bouncing up and down.
"You can't fly up, just go down the stairs."
William said.
"Let's try not to move."
Ralph proposed.
"This one isn't the devil's Internet café."
Daniel said this, but did as Ralph said.
Sure enough, they began to sink slowly.
It seems that after breaking through a membrane, their speed begins to increase. There was the thrill of freefall, but after a while, they were bounced high and struggled to hold their shape in the air.
Ralph and William were the quickest to adjust their stance.
The butt hit the ground and was bounced up again.
But it doesn't hurt at all, and I think the professors have thought about it carefully.
"Hurry up, how long will this last?"
Claude urged.
Ralph nodded, his wand clicked, and the [Levitation Charm] worked on everyone, slowly falling on the wall of air.
Suddenly, Ralph's heart moved, and he pointed at the invisible ground, and a [softening spell] hit it, and several people fell down at once.
"O Merlin! What spell do you use? ”
William asked.
"[Softening Spell], I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to really work."
Ralph said.
In the middle of the fall, it was not very comfortable to speak, and William just nodded and gave Ralph a thumbs up. The same goes for Daniel and Claude.
After several floors of invisible floors in the air, Ralph and the others eventually landed on the first floor.
Coming to a corner, after making sure that no one was there, several people lifted their invisibility and walked towards the auditorium.
At this time, there were not many people in the auditorium, and they looked at it and didn't want to eat in the auditorium.
As soon as the few people were together, they planned to go to the kitchen to have a look, and Roque had told them about the location of the kitchen, and there were house-elves in it, and they could cook some food for them.
After going around again, several people came to a portrait, and William stepped forward and scratched the big fat pear in the painting, and the pear laughed silently and turned into a doorknob.
"Welcome, four little masters, is there anything we can do for you?"
As soon as the door was opened, the low, emaciated house-elves appeared before Ralph and them, dressed in tatters and with wide eyes and asked.
"Hello, can you make us dinner?"
Claude stepped forward and asked politely.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little flattered.
"Of course, it's an honor to serve you."
The house-elves were babbling, all thankful to Ralph.
This made them a little unbearable and very uncomfortable.
The house-elves welcomed them in and sat them down at the table here.
Obviously, there were more wizards than a few of them who came directly to the Great Hall to dine, and they must have continued for a long time, otherwise there would not be a long table here.
Once they were seated, a house-elf came up to them, asked them what they wanted to eat, and after recording them, respectfully took their leave.
In the end, Ralph and the others experience a not-so-comfortable meal in the kitchen.
"Claude, do you know the house elf race?"
Daniel asked, intrigued.
"I should be like you, I just know about them, but I don't know much. What about you, Ralph? ”
Claude shook his head. Thinking that Ralph lived in the wizarding world, he might know a little about it, so he asked.
"I don't know much about it. All they know is that they take pride in the service of wizards. They believe that a good house-elf, while serving a family, should never be noticed. I don't know if it's true or not, I heard it from someone else. Emily often said that she would bring a house-elf to her house in the future. ”
Ralph said that there is not a lot of information.
"Next time, ask little Barty, he should have it at home."
William said that everyone agreed and did not dwell on the issue.
This time, they walked back. It's a pity that the door opening function of the Room of Requirement cannot be used at will anywhere in the outside world, otherwise they would have gone back a long time ago.
Back in the common room, those who were waiting for them looked over, waiting for Ralph to be exact.
Under their expectant gaze, Ralph walked to the center, and with a single wand click, a wooden table turned into a blackboard, and with a little more, his understanding of the Cleansing Charm was written on the blackboard.
When everyone arrived, he began to explain.
Some of the senior seniors also moved a small stool to listen, very curious about their younger brother's ability.
To their surprise, Ralph gave a very good explanation, and he extended on many things that Professor Flitwick did not cover.
It's not that it doesn't go untten, it's just that what Professor Flitwick teaches will vary from year to grade.
"As we all know, the purpose of the [Cleansing Charm] is to clean up stains. But what is a stain? Can someone tell me? ”
Ralph asked, smiling, looking at everyone.
"Dirty?"
"Sweat stains? Greasy dirt? ”
"Dirty stuff on your clothes?"
"Trash?"
“......”
Listening to everyone's answers, Ralph did not nod, still looking at everyone with a smile.
The seniors who were listening on the side were also frowning, what is a stain? Ralph probably won't fool them.
"You're right, but you're not right."
After a while, there was no sound below, and while everyone was meditating, Ralph spoke.
"Dirty, garbage, sweat, oil. What are these? Or is it adding an object, what is it to you, to you, to you, to me? ”
Ralph asked.
Seeing that everyone's brows were furrowed even deeper, he shook his head slightly.
Some of the seniors were thoughtful, feeling that this was a bit like Professor Flitwick, who was trying to guide them in something.
William, Claude, and Daniel also looked at each other in a daze, what is it? What is it for us? Something you don't need?
"Let me tell you. For us, these things are superfluous, unwanted, and even disgusting. ”
When Ralph said this, everyone understood, but they couldn't understand it even more, did this [Cleansing Charm] have anything to do with it?
At this point, the casting part of the [Cleansing Spell] has been finished, and now the expansion part is moving.
"When you eat oranges, is the orange peel not needed for you? Can I use the Cleansing Charm? ”
"And when you eat fish, aren't the fish bones annoying? [Cleansing Charm] is also available. ”
"That's why there weren't any specific spells like the Fruit Peeling Spell and the Fish Bone Removal Spell, because the concept of the Cleansing Spell already included these things. The more basic the spell, the more useful it will be. ”
"Like the Levitation Charm we learned last semester, do you really think of it as a spell that makes things float? When you tried it, never thought about floating the object in your direction? ”
"Magic can do miracles, but this miracle comes from our hearts."
"All wishes come true, Muggle impossibility, wizarding instinct."
After saying that, Ralph observed the expressions of the crowd again, and although they were all excited, he knew that there were very few people who could listen.
The basis of magic has always been our heart, and magic is only a medium.
Finally, Ralph talked about the basics again, which is what everyone is looking forward to the most.
After this lecture, the little wizard of Ravenclaw had recognized Ralph's ability, especially those first-year freshmen, who looked at Ralph's eyes as if they were carved out of the same mold as Daniel last semester, full of admiration.
"That's all for today, thank you all for your support. It may not be very good, but at least I can deduct some college points, I hope you will forgive me. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Some bold newborn witches rushed to Ralph and asked for autographs.
"Remember to sign up with Ms. Huo Qi next week! Bring Ralph. We can't always let the girls contribute. ”
Prefect Romanov and William they said.
