Chapter 9 Hello, Harry!
Three days later, George successfully got a "Guide to Gesture Casting" from the clerk of Flourish and Blotts.
Ten days later, George stood in the yard, waved his wand at a locked box and chanted:
"Aloho Open!"
A blue magic beam shot out from the top of the wand and hit the box accurately.
Most magic spells are accompanied by beams of different colors when they are activated, especially offensive and directional magic, such as the Unlocking Spell, the Disarming Spell, and the Killing Spell.
But some magic spells are silent and there are no obvious signs when they are activated, such as the Flying Spell, the Repairing Spell, and the Levitation Spell.
"Click."
A crisp sound came from the lock, and the lock buckle automatically popped open.
"Finally succeeded."
Seeing this, George showed a satisfied smile on his face.
After ten days of sleepless research, plus occasionally asking Tonks who came to eat for free, he was finally able to successfully release the Unlocking Spell.
And through these days of study, he also knew that he was not a so-called magic genius.
A true genius is like Hermione, who has never been exposed to magic and has no one to guide her. While learning the history and common sense of the magic world, she also took time to learn spells, and easily mastered several kinds of magic before school started.
Even more talented people like Snape can create powerful spells during school.
As for Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, they can no longer be described as geniuses.
Fortunately, he also has his own methods.
He said he studied for ten days, but in fact he studied for twenty days.
Because when his body couldn't hold on and needed to rest, the main body in the Marvel world took over again.
The most important thing in learning magic is talent, followed by diligence. His talent is not enough, so he makes up for it with diligence.
The main body is in the experimental base, and there is nothing else to do except training. There is a lot of free time. He can find a stick similar to a wand to practice the feeling.
Through continuous practice and perception, he can speed up the learning of spells.
Just be careful to avoid or turn your back to the surveillance and don't be discovered. Even if you are discovered, it doesn't matter, because no one in this world knows what he is doing anyway.
Once the original body is free in the future, he will learn magic faster, because he has twice as much time as others to learn and study magic.
In fact, if it is not considered cheating, it is considered a genius among wizards to be able to learn a spell in ten days.
You should know that most young wizards can't master much magic in a year, and the poor ones can only master a few.
"The next step is to practice gesture casting continuously until the gesture casting is successful, and then you can consider the next spell."
After several consecutive experiments, George was sure that he had fully mastered the unlocking spell. He immediately threw away the wand and began to practice the unlocking spell according to the instructions of the "Guide to Gesture Casting".
After another eight days, through the uninterrupted practice of the original body and the clone, he finally successfully released the unlocking spell without a wand.
However, compared to the one or two seconds it takes to cast the unlocking spell with a wand, it takes about seven or eight seconds to cast a spell with gestures instead of a wand. Even if you are proficient, it will probably take five or six seconds.
If two wizards duel, five or six seconds is enough for the other wizard to use his wand to release three or four attack spells.
No wonder this way of casting spells will be eliminated.
"August 21st, today is the day when Lockhart signs and sells books at Flourish and Blotts."
In the morning, George looked at the date on the magic calendar while eating breakfast, and slowly calculated in his mind.
He naturally had no interest in the big liar Lockhart, but if I remember correctly, today was also the day when Harry Potter followed the Weasley family to Diagon Alley to purchase school supplies.
After completing his first grade studies, Harry returned to his aunt and uncle's house who hated him during the summer vacation. Because of the house elf Dobby, he was locked up by his uncle and was not allowed to go to Hogwarts.
It was his good friends Ron and the Weasley brothers who secretly drove their father's magic car and took him back to the Burrow to live.
"Then let's get in touch with them first."
In the end, he still felt that he could take the initiative to get in touch with them.
Compared to Voldemort, who would be resurrected in a few years, he felt that he would gain more from being with Harry and the others now.
Many places and many things in Hogwarts, if he wanted to get in touch with them, were basically out of reach, but with Harry and the others, there would be no problem.
For example, the restricted area in the Hogwarts library, where he wanted to secretly read the magic books, was basically impossible.
But if he was with Harry, Dumbledore would turn a blind eye, and the same was true for the Room of Requirement.
So, after breakfast, George did not continue to study spells as usual today, but stood at the window of the pharmacy hall and observed outside.
About an hour later, he saw a father and son with blond hair, walking elegantly into the Borgin Blog shop opposite.
"That should be the Malfoys.
It seems that Harry Potter is already in the store."
They dared to bring the children into Knockturn Alley at this time. In addition, their expensive wizard robes and the temperament of a superior made it easy to judge their identities.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, shortly after the father and son left the Bojin Blog store, a thin boy wearing glasses and covered in gray ran out of the store in a hurry.
"Where is this?"
Harry stood in a small, dark alley, looking at the shops that seemed to be full of dark magic, and felt a little creepy.
Some shrunken human heads were gloomily displayed in the window of the shop next door. In front of the shop two doors away, a large cage was filled with huge black spiders.
He turned to look at a dark doorway on the right, where two wizards in ragged clothes were looking at him and whispering.
"I want to get out of here quickly, I hope I can get out."
Today he used floo powder for the first time, but he didn't know what went wrong. Instead of going to Diagon Alley, he came to a scary and strange store, and accidentally saw the illegal transactions of Malfoy and his son.
"Are you lost?"
Just as he was fearfully preparing to avoid the dark doorway and groping in another direction, a calm but slightly childish voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Turning around, he saw a boy who was as thin as him but with a very determined look, standing behind him holding a magic book.
"This is Knockturn Alley, a place where dark wizards gather. It's not safe if you are alone here."
"Hello, my name is Harry. I came here accidentally because of Floo fans. What I want to go to is Diagon Alley."
Perhaps feeling the kindness from the little boy, Harry hurriedly explained.
George also smiled when he heard this:
"Hello, Harry, my name is George, you probably read Diagon Alley as Knockturn Alley.
But it doesn't matter, they are connected together, I will send you out. "
