Chapter 17 Learning Magic
Wright picked up the book and put the finished copy of "Three Years of Practice and Four Years of Mastery in Transfiguration" back on the bookshelf.
So he went straight to the administrator, Madam Pince, to ask about books on the classification of spells.
"Classification of spells? Then come with me!" Madam Pince took Wright to the white magic area, took a book called "White Magic and Black Magic" from a bookshelf and handed it to Wright. She said to Wright: "This book is a bit obscure for young wizards who have just come into contact with magic. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."
"Thank you very much." Wright thanked Madam Pince, who nodded with a smile.
Light watched Madam Pince leave, then picked up the book and walked towards the reading area.
"White magic basically has no special classification. All magic that protects yourself and others can be called white magic. It's basically based on how difficult it is to learn."
"But there are many types of black magic. They can be divided into three categories: 'evil spells', 'poison spells' and 'curses'. The danger of the three types of magic increases in sequence."
"'Evil spells' were originally used by wizards to play pranks on Muggles. For example, 'slippery slippery' is a kind of evil spell. It makes the ground slippery and makes it easy for people to fall."
The "poison spell" is an enhanced "bad curse", which is more effective than the bad curse but will cause harm and pain to the person who is under the spell. For example, "bee sting" will imitate the bee sting, causing redness, swelling and pain on the skin.
'Curse is the real meaning of black magic, which can threaten people's lives. Generally speaking, there are counter-curses to remove curses. For example, 'petrification' can make people's bodies stiff and motionless. If no one removes the curse, it will lead to death.
'But there are exceptions. Some curses have no solution, such as 'Oblivion', which can erase a person's memory and make it impossible to recover.'
……
While Wright was fascinated by the book, Harry and Ron had already quietly run to the library.
"Wright, let's go eat together!" Harry patted Wright, who was absorbed in reading a book.
"Yes, yes, we still have to go to stargazing class after dinner!" Ron nodded frantically.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll put the book back first." Wright glanced at the wall clock.
When following Harry and Ron out of the library, Wright looked back at the library for some reason, and suddenly realized that he would probably keep running to the library next.
"How's your Transfiguration practice going?" Ron asked Wright incoherently while gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Got it. It's easy to learn once you know the most important thing about Transfiguration." After saying that, Light took out his wand and took out matches.
With a wave of the wand, a beam of light flew out. The match on the table instantly twisted into a silver needle. Not only that, Wright continued to wave the wand, and the chicken bones that Ron had eaten turned into silver needles.
Harry and Ron stared at the scene in front of them in amazement. Ron stammered to Wright, "You, you, are you so powerful just by going to the library?"
Harry looked at Wright expectantly, "Can you teach me?"
"no problem."
Ron looked at his friends who were teaching and learning one by one, and the chicken leg in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"To succeed in Transfiguration, you need a firm heart and a calm mood. Picture in your mind what you want to change into, then firmly believe in the spell, and leave the rest to the magic. It will fulfill your wishes." Wright imparted his insights on Transfiguration to Harry and Ron.
"Done, done." After Ron turned the match into a silver needle, it was officially announced that Wright's guidance was a great success.
Harry also happily congratulated Ron.
While the two were still celebrating, Wright poured cold water on them and said, "We have to go, or we'll be late."
Harry and Ron looked up at the clock when they heard that, then jumped up, quickly packed up the dishes, and ran to the classroom with Wright.
Wright yawned as he listened to the astronomy class. The professor at the podium was talking in a mysterious way about what would happen if the celestial phenomena changed, and which star was related to the disasters in the magical world.
Wright, who had been educated in the materialist view of history, could not accept the idea of shooting the arrows first and then drawing the target, which also led to Wright's lack of attention to astronomy classes.
After class, in the dormitory.
"Neville, you're so lame! You can't do it so soon." Seamus said while looking at the wizard chess.
"So you are very brave!" Ron said to Seamus who was watching the chess game with a smile on his face.
"Of course! I'm very brave!" Seamus said confidently.
"Then come and try it. I have something good to show you." Ron persuaded Seamus to go on stage.
"What is this! No, Ron, no!" Ron defeated Seamus with absolute advantage.
"Wright, are you going to bed so early?" Harry asked puzzledly as he looked at Wright who went to bed early.
"I don't have classes tomorrow morning, so I plan to get up early and go to the library."
"Do we still need to go to the library? We have already finished the Transfiguration homework assigned by Professor McGonagall. Do we still need to go?" Ron asked Wright while killing Seamus.
"There are a few books I want to read but I haven't seen them yet. I'll tell you when I want to read them." Wright responded perfunctorily to the people in the dormitory.
……
"Very good, Rags did an excellent job on this Transfiguration, plus 5 points from Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall said to the young wizards, holding up the small statue transformed from the jar.
Wright looked at the Transfiguration he had completed easily and had a guess in his mind: "It seems that even if I don't need to add points, my own learning breakthrough will have a similar effect."
"Wright, how come you suddenly learn so fast?" Ron asked quietly.
"Maybe I go to the library too much!" Wright continued to perfunctorily answer quietly.
In the lounge, Harry asked Wright while cutting steak: "We don't have classes this afternoon, do we still have to go to the library?"
"Well, after all, there aren't that many classes. I don't know what I'm doing in the dormitory all the time!" Wright responded to Harry while eating bread.
There are four colleges in Hogwarts, but there is only one professor for each subject, so the students' courses are not heavy. There are only two or three classes a day.
"No way! You won't become like Hermione in the future! She also goes to the library every day." Ron became worried when he thought there would be two Hermiones.
During this time, Hermione also became famous among the young wizards, but more people said that she was difficult to get along with. The aura of a top student and the heartbreaking words made her live a solitary study life.
During this period, Wright would go to the library to read whenever he had free time, and his life revolved around the classroom, library, and dormitory.
"I'm done, you guys continue eating." Wright cleaned up the dishes and left quickly.
On the way to the library, Wright determined his destination. After getting the Disillusionment Spell that could make him invisible, he started his night tour to find the Room of Requirement.
