After arranging for the two house-elves of Will and Isaac to study magic at home, Locke rushed to Hogwarts to report.

The entire Hogwarts house is actually a school centered on a castle and the surrounding forest, and Locke is not very rare for castles or anything, he is interested in all kinds of magical knowledge in this house.

When Locke arrived at the house, the sorting ceremony had just ended, and the professors were taking the little wizards to the dormitory.

The next day was Friday, followed by two weekends, which was the equivalent of giving the young wizards three days to familiarize themselves with the academy.

Locke found Hermione and took her on a tour of the entire academy, all the places she could go, and met the other two in the Iron Triangle during the process.

After the school year started, except for the occasional break, she listened to Hermione babble about her house life, which was to answer her questions about magic learning.

"Locke, I've found that all the spells I've learned follow the same pattern." Hermione said.

"What pattern?" Locke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I've been exposed to Old Latin and Old English before, so I found that these spells seem to be one word, but they are all made up of a part of Old Latin and Old English." Hermione said, "I just can't see the connection. ”

"It seems that you are really good at finding problems, and your findings are not wrong, and this involves a deeper magical principle."

Locke smiled and said, "Among the many spells, the Old Latin is used to activate magic, and the Old English is used to control the effect of magic, so let's use the levitation charm as an example."

The first half of this spell is Old English, which means to command elevation, and the latter part of the Old Latin symbolizes the concept of floating, which combines to create the levitation spell.

This is true for most spells, but there are other combinations, and other ancient languages are also magical, or these ancient words can be used to activate magic. ”

"Since that's the case." Hermione seemed to be inspired by something, and said happily, "Then is it possible to develop some spells according to this law?" ”

"Don't just make a spell." At this time, Locke's tone suddenly became serious.

"Why?" Hermione asked, somewhat surprised.

"Because it's dangerous to develop spells." Locke said in a deep voice: "Let's just say that the levitation spell just now, if the pronunciation of S is changed to F, it will become an uncertain spell, which will bring serious consequences."

Many people have been repulsed for mispronouncing this spell, and the lightest of them was also hit by the sudden appearance of an old cow, breaking their ribs and internal organs!

Our current mantras are summed up by many people after suffering a lot of losses, and if we experiment randomly, even if the pronunciation of the mantra is correct, even if there is a difference in tone, we will encounter unpredictable consequences. ”

These things, in fact, Locke knew more deeply than Hermione during this time, and the magic of the Harry Potter world was very different from the magic he had learned before.

The magic that Balthazar taught him was more inclined to use his own mental power to manipulate the magic power to achieve the effect of magic, while the magic of this world used language and writing to stimulate the effect of magic.

Therefore, even he did not dare to develop spells at will, because he knew the danger involved.

It's as if Locke himself improved the meditation method to let the magic flow through different acupuncture points, and in this improvement process, Locke never used himself to do experiments, but found a large number of gang members to do experiments.

During this period, Locke could not remember how many gang members had lost their lives due to failed experiments, or were disposed of by Locke for life.

Relying on a large amount of experimental data, Locke summed up some rules and developed a relatively safe and improved meditation method.

And up to now, in the world of American dramas, Locke still hasn't stopped the corresponding experiments, because the current meditation method only involves dozens of acupuncture points, and if you want to go further, you still need continuous development and research.

Therefore, behind Locke's improvement of the meditation method is countless white bones, and on top of the lives of these people, there is now a meditation method that can now enhance the body more efficiently while meditating.

In a certain way, Locke's behavior is no different from those villains in many film and television works, but Locke has no psychological burden on it.

The progress of many things is inevitably accompanied by sacrifice, just like the development of modern medicine, which is accompanied by the sacrifice of countless people.

Even in modern times, why do large pharmaceutical companies like to set up laboratories in India or other third world countries when developing new drugs?

In Locke's mind, the gang members should contribute to their own magical research rather than die from drugs or pointless firefights.

Aware of the dangers of developing new magic, Locke once again stressed to Hermione, "Don't experiment with spells yourself!" ”

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Hermione nodded, and said that she would be obedient.

Locke didn't expect that Hermione's talent was stronger than he imagined, which raised her weight in Locke's heart to a higher level.

After thinking about it, Locke said, "Hermione, your talent is very strong, I have something to ask you, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

"Worship you as a teacher, aren't you my teacher now?" Hermione wondered.

"No, it's not a teacher in a school who simply teaches some knowledge, but a closer relationship."

Locke explained: "It's more akin to the kind of teacher-student relationship in ancient Eastern China, it's a kind of contract, and they describe this relationship in one sentence as a teacher for one day and a father for life. ”

"Huh? Is that what the Godfather meant? Hermione asked with her own understanding.

"There's something similar, but it's closer, there's a bit of a win-or-win flavor of one-lose." Locke explains:

"If such a relationship is established, I will do my best to provide you with the best conditions for learning, and I will also teach you some magic that only I have in this world."

"A closer relationship?" Hermione tried to show her calmness, "I'd love to say yes, um, but I still need to go home and talk to my parents." ”

Suddenly encountered such a big thing, Hermione was actually inclined to agree, but still felt that such a big thing should be told to her parents.

"Of course, this kind of thing is to inform Mr. Granger and Mrs. Granger." Locke said, "Tell them when I have a chance, and I'll tell them about it." ”

"No problem, that's it." Hermione's face beamed with joy and she agreed.

After talking about these things, Locke brought out the gourmet table again, and the two of them ordered food together, and a rich lunch was revealed.

Ever since she had seen the gourmet table at Locke's place, Hermione had become less interested in the food served at the restaurant, and would often come to Locke for food and drinks.
