Chapter 114: How Do You Know This?
The fire spell didn't cause a sensation, Seamus often controlled the flames into the show, most people were used to the fireworks that appeared from time to time, and the events of the day were regarded as a big show by Seamus, and only a few professors knew how dangerous the spell was that Seamus had mastered.
Nix didn't dare to practice the Flame Spell alone, his magic power was already difficult to control, and practicing the Fire Spell alone was an act of death.
Every time he practiced, he went to Seamus to help him disperse the uncontrollable fire, at least not to let the fire burn him.
After helping Nicks dispel the fire again, Seamus wondered, "Nicks, can't you make a potion to sort out your magic?" ”
Nicks explained, "Yes, it's not difficult to make a potion to sort out mana, but the potion effect is time-limited, and once the time is up, the magic becomes uncontrollable again, and you can't put any spells." It's better to practice it on a regular basis, and then you can put any spell you want, and you can put it whenever you want. ”
"Is there a time limit for my potion?" Seamus is a little nervous, his potions have a time limit, and he still has to turn into a bomberman?
Nicks smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have no time limit, it will last until you die." We continued to practice the Fire Spell. Time flew by, and the Knicks had mastered the Fire Spell.
Tom Riddle's diary doesn't give Harry any clues, and Harry doesn't care much about it, often keeping it in his dorm.
In March, the Year 2 Wizards received a timetable of Year 3 electives, and they were required to choose at least two of the five courses, with the previous compulsory courses to be continued.
The five electives are arithmetic divination, Muggle studies, prophecy, ancient charms, and the protection of magical creatures.
In the library, the Knicks and the others gathered, and Harry looked worried, not knowing what to choose.
Neville had a lot of letters from his house with a lot of advice on what course Neville had chosen, but to no avail. He turned around and asked, "Nix, what course are you going to take?" ”
The Knicks glanced at Neville and scratched three classes on the class schedule. Muggle studies, ancient charms, protection of magical beasts.
Seamus on the side asked curiously, "Why did you choose these three courses?" ”
"Because of interest." Nix replied.
Hermione on the other side ticks all the subjects. She took the Knicks' class schedule: "Knicks, you should be like me, take them all, you can learn them all." ”
The Nicks weren't interested in the twelve certificates and got the class schedule back before Hermione ticked the box. "I'm not interested in divination and prophecy and don't want to waste time. But I'm in favor of your choice. ”
Neville sighed, "Only Hermione can choose them all." ”
Nix looked at him and said, "I suggest you take them all." ”
This sentence made several people around him look at him.
Harry wondered, "You think Neville is as smart as Hermione?" ”
Ron disdained: "He couldn't have learned, wasting time." ”
Hermione glared at the Knicks.
Neville asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Nix replied, "These five courses represent different directions, and the seven courses we are studying now are the foundation and must be mastered as a wizard.
In the third grade, these five courses will not teach too esoteric knowledge, Neville can try them all, choose which two subjects are good, and give up the ones that are not good. ”
Seamus asked with interest, "What about me, what should I choose, and do I choose all of them too?" ”
Nix thought for a moment and replied, "It's up to you, you can learn whatever you want, in fact, the biggest purpose of electives is for us to choose the courses we are interested in." Neville's problem was that he might not be able to keep up with the courses he was interested in, so he suggested that he take them all and give up on what he couldn't. ”
Harry suddenly spoke, "Nix, do you know what these classes are about?" ”
Nicks put down the book on magical creatures in his hand and analyzed: "In my opinion, Muggle studies are a certificate for all non-pure-blood wizards, and no one can get those things wrong, and the more rare ones are some spells." Also, it is important to note that the correct answer is not a standard answer. ”
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"That's it, normally the car is driven on the road, but the Weasleys' cars are flying, and if you ask the car how to go during the test, the correct answer is to drive on the road, but if the Weasleys make the answer, it will become flying."
Ron retorted: "Our family knows that cars are driven on land, not flying, and my dad casts an invisibility spell on them, and Muggles don't normally find flying cars." ”
Nick ignored Ron and continued to explain: "Ancient runes are the cornerstone of alchemy, and it also has a certain relationship with potions. If you are interested in it, you can choose this. ”
Harry, Ron, and Hermione understood that Nix was talking about the Philosopher's Stone, and they shook their heads together.
"I don't need to say more about protecting magical beasts. Be aware that some magical beasts are dangerous for us, and Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn in the Forbidden Forest, as you know, is often injured.
The rest of arithmetic divination and prophecy are difficult to say, they are simple and difficult. Gifted people can throw away their textbooks and succeed casually. People who are not gifted will not be able to learn in their lifetime.
But the exam is different, the test paper is the content of the book, just memorize it. And the on-site examiners, tsk, I doubt them, maybe their level is just memorizing the content of the book. ”
Ron was pleasantly surprised: "It wasn't easy to get through. ”
Hermione struck, "You can't hope that the examiner won't be able to divinate and prophesy, if the examiner who comes will do this, you're done." ”
She turned to the Knicks and asked, "How do you know this?" ”
"The pure-blood family's collection is not limited to black magic, if you are interested, you can go to Tifa and ask for my father's notes."
Nick picked up the book about magical creatures again, and the next page was the introduction to the basilisk. The devil's eggs laid by the rooster, hatched by the toad, are very unscientific, but very magical. The recipe is very extensive, birds, reptiles, insects can eat, and spiders are its favorite.
Dangerous for the unprepared, but a prepared and well-trained wizard can easily kill a basilisk, and a single eye spell can throw it into chaos.
After reading this book, Knicks realized that the spider was afraid of the basilisk not because the spider had many eyes and was easy to meet the basilisk, but because the basilisk liked to eat spiders. I also understand why the basilisk in the secret room can live for a thousand years, the secret room is connected to the sewers, there are countless rats for food, and there are many other creatures that can eat.
After borrowing the book with Mrs. Pince, the librarian, he was going to take it back and study it slowly, so that Hermione could not get it, and see if he could stop Hermione from being petrified on her own initiative.
