Chapter 180 How to Curse Myself

Miss Hermione Granger, a good student, has no idea what it means for a professor to skip class.

For her, words like skipping school and sin are synonymous.

Although she also skipped classes.

"Professor..." She frowned, "Skipping class?"

"He's busy with his business, and we're busy with ours." Robert's head was full of black lines, and they had been grinding for more than two months.

Hermione looked at him suspiciously, "How is that possible? If that's the case, why do you want to teach alchemy?"

"How should I put it..." Robert scratched his head, "Alchemy involves metals and pharmaceuticals, but it is not limited to these. He may want to start teaching from the magic circle."

"Magic circle?" Hermione was completely confused because it was something she had no experience with. "What is that?"

Robert took out an alchemy product and said, "Look, this thing has patterns on it."

Hermione took the thing that looked like a wine glass, looked at it, and said, "Isn't this what it looked like when it was cast?"

She was referring to the pattern that hovered over the entire cup, looking like some kind of flower.

"Look sideways." Robert tilted the wine glass in her hand. Hermione looked at him and looked at the wine glass in her hand with some confusion.

The next moment, her eyes widened, "Is this cup glowing?"

It's not the reflection caused by the sunlight, but the entire cup is slightly emitting a light green light.

"What's the principle of this?" Hermione became interested. She wanted to know what it was, "Some kind of special spell?"

Robert shook his head, "The magic spell can't do this kind of thing, this is alchemy."

"Huh?" Hermione blinked, "I thought spells could do a lot of things."

"It is true that magic can do many things, but if you want to make the cup shine under certain circumstances, you need alchemy to cooperate." Robert took the cup from Hermione's hand, "It is true that some people use magic to make the cup shine. Curses have caused some changes in items, such as the Comet series of brooms. It is because of the Holden-Cage Braking Curse that they are sought after by people. Their first broom can be said to have used magic spells, and it was accidentally It’s made, but after that, you need to find an alchemist to cooperate.”

"Why?" Hermione was confused. "Isn't it just a matter of using magic? The principles, spells and gestures are all the same."

"Because you can't output your magic power 100% stably." Robert explained, "The release of the magic spell is related to the fluctuation of mental power. Oh, you may not understand this. In short, it is your emotions that cast the magic spell on the broom. It’s a somewhat long and tedious process that occasionally fails.”

He made a distance gesture with his index finger and thumb, "You can't guarantee that a giant monster won't suddenly break into your workshop, can you? After all, they will appear even in Hogwarts Castle. You know Hog Watts Castle is one of the safest places in the entire country."

Hermione shrugged, "Yeah, well, you have a point."

"But alchemy can solve this problem, shorten the time, improve efficiency, and have good stability." Robert held the rim of the wine glass and shook it in front of her. "By the way, everyone generally uses magic circles to transform items. , this is the true alchemical product.”

Hermione nodded, and then asked hesitantly, "Robert, can I learn alchemy?"

"Is this..." Robert thought for a moment and said, "I have to ask my teacher to see if he agrees to hand over this knowledge to you. If he doesn't agree, I don't think I can teach you. "

Hermione looked disappointed.

"But I can give you some books I've read." Robert rummaged in his bag, "You can study on your own first."

The little girl became excited and said, "Thank you, Robert!"

"It doesn't matter." Robert found a few books related to graphics and handed them to Hermione. "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I'm quite free."

"Quite free?" Hermione was a little surprised, "Didn't you say there are elective courses in third grade?"

Robert nodded, "There are elective courses."

Hermione was even more surprised, "Then why are you so free? Shouldn't you..." She waved her right hand, "Reading and seeing that you don't have time to sleep?"

"You said it was an elective course." Robert laughed, "Of course you should choose the course you like."

Hermione had an incredulous expression.

"This is normal, because you don't have so much time to listen to the professor's classes, especially when many classes are taken at the same time." Robert explained, "For example, Summers took Divination and Muggle Studies as electives. Become a writer.”

"A writer?" Hermione became interested. "I heard that the most popular writer right now is Gilderoy Lockhart! Is he going to be that kind of writer?"

"Yes, he wants more wizards to know and understand Muggles, so he plans to write a book." Robert pointed at Summers, "Summers is a bookworm, and this career is very suitable for him."

He then pointed at Mr. Honey Badger, who was still dueling with Waffles. "Stebbins chose Care of Magical Creatures and Arithmancy. He wants to be the Curse Breaker."

Hermione frowned, as if she had discovered something.

"As for me." Robert pointed to himself, "I am majoring in alchemy, so arithmetic divination and ancient rune research must be electives. As for what I want to do in the future... I actually want to travel around the world. , so I also chose to protect magical animals.”

After hearing his story, Hermione suddenly realized, "You want to say that you can first determine what you want to do in the future, and then choose a course."

"Yes." Robert nodded, "Because we already have goals, we are purposeful in choosing courses. Of course, you can do the same as Seid."

"Sed?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, "Oh, that's the person we were going to find that night!"

Hearing her words, Cedric looked up and gave her a charming smile.

Hermione nodded at him, then turned to look at Robert, "He took all the courses?"

"No, I mean." Robert seemed to want to laugh a little. Cedric seemed to sense something and gave him a big eye roll, "He took a divination class in order to spend more time with his girlfriend, and now he takes it every time To be reminded by professors that death is near.”

Robert said with a smile, "If you like to hear about the interesting ways of death that happened to other students, I think you can't miss Professor Trelawney's course. It's really interesting."

"Oh no, Robert, you can't do this." Summers couldn't help it, he showed a pitiful expression, "Sed and I have to think hard every day about what will happen in our future, my divination class homework This book is almost going to be a 'how to curse myself' guide, okay?"

Robert finally couldn't hold back his laughter.
