Chapter 120: Study and Life 1

Obviously, no one wants to share a room with Charon, and Charon is happy to have a room to himself. He climbed into a bed with four pillars, draped with a crimson flannel curtain. My luggage has already been delivered. Charon was also a little exhausted, changed into pajamas and fell asleep.

The next day, Charon got up early and rushed to the dining room alone for breakfast, and then hurried to the classroom.

Truth be told, finding your way to a classroom every day is not an easy task, and there are a total of 142 stairs at Hogwarts. Some of them are wide and large; Some are narrow, small, and wobbly; Some go to different places every Friday; Some of them will disappear halfway up, and you have to remember where to jump over them.

In addition, there are many doors that will not open for you if you unceremoniously ask them to open them, or poke them in the right place; Other doors weren't real doors at all, just sturdy walls that looked like doors. It's hard to remember what's in what place, because everything seems to be constantly moving. The people in the portrait also constantly visit each other, and even the armor can walk.

Fortunately, Charon has ghosts to help him guide him, and these ghosts who like to constantly cause trouble for other students are always respectful to Charon.

Charon ran into Nick, who was almost headless, and of course he was happy to show Charon the way, and talked a lot about his encounter with Shafiq's ancestor along the way, according to him, if it wasn't for Shafiq's ancestor's help, he might have been gone.

Of course, there are people at Hogwarts who are not afraid of Charon, and that is the administrator Argus Filch, who has a cat named Lady Loris. The scrawny, dark-gray creature had bulging eyes like filch's bulbs. It often patrols the corridors alone.

If it fouls in the face, it will run to Filch even if the tip of one toe goes out of the line. Two minutes later, Filch would be running over with a slurp and a wheezing voice. Filch knows the secret passages on campus better than anyone else, and will come out cold like a ghost. His classmates hated him to the core, and many of them were eager to kick him hard at Lady Loris.

The first class was Charms, taught by a surprisingly small wizard, Professor Flitwick, who had to stand on a stack of books to reach the lectern.

At the beginning of the first lesson, he pulled out the roster for roll call, and when Harry's name was read, he screamed with excitement and fell to the ground and disappeared. At the thought of Charon's name, he snapped at his shell, and then continued as if nothing had happened.

Professor Flitwick was a patient and experienced teacher, and under his careful tutelage, almost every young wizard was quick to wave his wand, chant incantations, and cast some basic spells.

Charon is the same, although he has a lot of experience in necromancy, he is also a beginner in performing ordinary magic, and is not much better than others. Especially compared to Hermione, it seems more ordinary.

Hermione quickly completed her homework and began to help Charon. It was true that Charon's pronunciation was not accurate at first, but after Hermione's patient repetition over and over again, Charon finally pronounced the crappy and strange syllable, driving the mana to wave his wand in the same way as demonstrated. The feather that had been immovable suddenly turned into a vigorous cloud swallow, and with the wave of its wand, it soared into the sky, streaking a white shadow in the air.

Charon and Hermione were happy.

Professor Flitwick was also delighted, clapping and applauding, "Fantastic, Mr. Charon, five points for Slytherin." ”

Ron was a little unhappy, and muttered in a low voice: "Hermione actually turned her elbow out, helping Slytherin, not Gryffindor!" ”

However, Hermione and Charon soon came to their aid. Charon helps Harry and Hermione helps Ron.

Harry was moving fast, letting his feathers fly in a matter of minutes, and was the third to finish. Professor Flitwick gave Gryffindor five points for this.

Ron was much slower, and under Hermione's repeated teachings, he didn't complete the levitation technique until near the end of class, so naturally there was no way to add any points.

Hermione and Ron were both a little unhappy about this, one thought the other was stupid, and the other thought the other was not good at teaching. However, the next time this happens, it will still be Hermione guiding Ron. Because Ron still didn't dare to get up close and personal with Charon.

Truth be told, Charon learns ordinary magic no faster than other young wizards. Although his mental power is far stronger than others, he still has to learn this kind of spell that relies on pronunciation and gestures to perform from scratch. Of course, the strong spiritual power and strong mana make Charon's spells very powerful, far surpassing those of other little wizards. Take the levitation technique, for example, other people's feathers are flying lightly, and his is like an arrow off the string, swift and fast.

Charon had some difficulty in Charms class, but he had a smooth ride in other subjects.

Every Wednesday night, they use telescopes to observe the starry sky, learning the names of different stars and the orbits of the planets. This is a course that Charon likes very much, observing the stars, you can sense the heavens and people, and this is also a course that was practiced before. Feeling and comparing the different knowledge and understanding of the stars in the East and the West, complementing each other, touching the bypass, Charon benefited a lot.

The Eastern and Western understandings of the starry sky are very different. The east divides the sky into four palaces and twenty-eight constellations, and the four spirits of the sky are square. In the West, however, the stars are divided into 88 constellations according to their associations and imaginations, which are scattered in the night sky. Among them, the zodiac signs, that is, the twelve constellations that intersect with the trajectory of the sun, are the focus of Western stargazing scholars.

When Charon was an otaku in his last life, he also had some understanding of the zodiac signs. Of course, it is mainly from the cartoon "Saint Seiya", and the zodiac signs represent the twelve golden saints.

The West also associates the year with the zodiac sign so that each person has their own corresponding zodiac sign. People of different zodiac signs have different personality traits, what Gemini is perverted, Virgo is fussy, Scorpio has a black belly, Leo is arrogant, etc. The previous life thought it made sense, and now Charon knows that it's just!.

Three times a week, they were taken by a stocky witch named Sprout to the greenhouse at the back of the castle to study herbs, learn how to grow these exotic plants and fungi, and learn what they were used for.

This Charon is also very devoted, maybe many young wizards find this thing boring, but for those who still have a lot of pills in their minds, and people who are used to taking drugs to assist in cultivation, this is simply the most interesting thing. Cultivating elixirs, being familiar with the medicinal properties, watching them grow up slowly, and thinking about harvesting bottles of elixirs in the future, couldn't be happier.

Even the history of magic lesson, which all young wizards hated the most, Charon enjoyed it. It is also the only class taught by a ghost. Professor Binns's voice was monotonous and boring, the names and dates were boring, and the young wizards were dozing off one by one.

Charon, however, delicately traces the veins of magic in this boring narrative, from its origins, development, growth, and decay. Compared to the current wizards, the ancient wizards were much more powerful, and it was simply the difference between humans and gods. Why is this so? Charon listened quietly as he tried to lift the fog of history.

Charon is also very comfortable in magic transfiguration class. Transfiguration relies more on mental power to drive magic to force matter to change according to its own wishes, which is where Charon excels. Compared to the tongue twisters in the Charms class, this one is much simpler.

The class was taught by the stern Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall is a well-known Transfiguration master, and one of the few Animagus.

Animagus is an animal that allows a wizard to solidify into an animal, and Professor McGonagall transforms into a piebald cat with a pattern around the eyes. The Animagus could not transform into any animal at will, and the animals they changed were related to the wizard's personality and weight.

In general, each person can only become one animal. At the same time, Animagus transformations are usually limited to non-magical creatures, and magical creatures (such as phoenixes, fire dragons, Hippogriffs, etc.) will have unpredictable consequences. Perhaps it's because wizard magic and magical creature magic have fundamentally different relationships in how they work.

When practicing Animagus, people may become obsessed with becoming normal humans, so the Ministry of Magic strictly controls it, requiring all Animagus transformation animals and traits to be registered in the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. But many people didn't register after they practiced.

In fact, Charon would never try to become an Animagus. In his mind, he really didn't understand why he had become an animal. And this animal is not a magical animal yet, and it has no special skills. Of course, if he can change seventy-two times like the legendary Monkey King, and easily turn into anything at will, Charon is very willing to learn.

Solidified into an animal, Charon really can't think of it, what's the use of that? Hide yourself, right? You go back and forth like that, and the other party reads it once and remembers it, is it useful? And there are still a lot of ways to hide yourself, Charon still has a lot in his mind, and it's no worse than this.

What about empowering yourself? Turning into certain animals does enhance some abilities, such as being able to climb a tree much faster when you become a cat, and flying when you become a bird. But these abilities don't have to be obtained by turning into animals, and there are other ways to solve them when you practice. For example, Charon is confident that he will be faster than most cats in the future, because he will be able to perform light skills after he has successfully cultivated his Gang Qi! As for flying, Charon thinks that the cornices can be improvised!

The Animagus, on the other hand, has a lot of disadvantages. The first biggest problem is that when you become an animal, you can't do magic at all. An ordinary animal that does not know magic can be easily killed by other animals and people, and Charon will never let himself fall into such a dangerous situation.
