#114 - Bounce of confidence

Hermione would never admit that she had failed, not even in a simple color-changing charm practice.

To get the purest calico color, Hermione went to the library immediately after Charms class.

"I'm going to look for possible multi-color changing magic schemes. Can we experiment in the Charms practice room this afternoon?"

"Of course."

Moon would never refuse Hermione's eagerness to learn.

Because he himself often encountered problems and needed to consult the knowledgeable Hermione.

Thursday afternoon, there was originally a class that all the students liked very much.

Flying class.

In this outdoor class, Hermione was still studying the books related to "Multi-Color Changing Magic" that she had borrowed from the library at noon.

Many students flew over her head on broomsticks, which made it difficult for her to concentrate on reading.

So the little witch showed a displeased expression.

And another unhappy person was Malfoy, of course, because of Harry who was flying at the highest altitude.

As for the little wizards like Moon, the flying class no longer had the initial excitement.

After entering winter, the words high altitude and high speed became cold and freezing.

Even if they have now learned to control the flying broom, the little wizards still like to fly slowly at low altitude.

Only Harry alone, he very much enjoyed the feeling of flying to high altitude.

And in stark contrast to him was Neville,

This little wizard who had an accident in flying class finally summoned the flying broom last week after more than two months of practice.

Now he can also glide on a flying broom for simple rides.

However, because of the psychological shadow of riding a flying broom for the first time, Neville's flying altitude is the lowest among all the little wizards.

Moon actually wanted to fly higher, but unfortunately the quality of the broom provided by the school was too poor.

As long as this broom exceeds ten feet, it will tremble.

This made Moon have to stay in the low-altitude flying team honestly.

After the flying class on Thursday, there were no other courses.

After returning the flying broom to Madam Hooch, Hermione hurried to find him.

"I found a good way, it should be effective."

On the way to the Charms practice classroom, Hermione explained the method she had found in the library.

"【Layered Color Change Magic】? Is that the name?"

"That's right, although this magic is relatively clumsy, it should be the most suitable for us."

After Hermione explained it again, Moon knew why Hermione would say this was a clumsy method.

【Layered Color Change Magic】 is to cast a color change charm on the target object, and then cast another color change charm on a specific area to cover it until the requirement is met.

"This is like putting clothes on a terracotta warrior."

Moon thought for a while and gave an appropriate example.

"That's right, I only need to cast a solid black base color on the cat terracotta, and then cast yellow and white color change charms in different places, then I can get a real calico cat."

"Then this should be relatively simple, is it necessary to practice again?"

Moon didn't think that this simple magic would make Hermione come to the classroom to practice.

"Actually, this method sounds clumsy, but it also has difficulties."

Seeing Moon's doubts, Hermione explained the main points she had seen in the book.

"The first layer of Layered Color Change Magic is very simple, but if you want to cast the second layer of color change charm on the basis of the first layer, then you must ensure that the first layer of magic is very stable."

Hearing Hermione's explanation, Moon understood instantly.

In the process of casting this magic, the first layer of color change magic is equivalent to the foundation, and it must be ensured that it is stable enough.

This will ensure that multiple layers of color change charms can be applied on top of the first layer.

When Moon and Hermione arrived on the second floor, Bouncing had already arrived here one step ahead.

Seeing Mrs. Norris also holding a small "Bouncing" in her arms, Moon just smiled and cast a 【Fur Smoothing】 on the two little guys.

Watching the two little pets groan comfortably, Moon turned and walked into the classroom, and began to study and experiment with 【Layered Color Change Magic】.

Although Hermione had just explained the difficulties of this magic, after the experiment.

Moon really understood how important a stable first layer of color change magic is.

In three consecutive experiments, Hermione unexpectedly made the magic fail when casting the second layer of color change charm.

The cat terracotta also turned back to its original clay color.

"Why don't I try?"

While Hermione was experimenting, Moon also finished reading the book she had borrowed from the library.

《Magic Painting: Make Your Home Warmer》

This is a book introducing magical painting decorations in the interior, the author is a wizard who runs a magical painting refresher course.

"Okay, are you going to use the terracotta cat or your Niffler?"

"Niffler, after all, it has fewer colors."

The colors on this creature, Niffler, are only black and flesh color, and Moon doesn't plan to add other colors.

So he directly took out a Niffler terracotta from his pocket and began to cast magic.

Because he didn't have enough mastery of the color change magic, the magic effect Moon cast each time was only a small piece.

The palm-sized Niffler, he cast the color change charm three times before the terracotta turned black all over.

Bouncing, who was playing with Mrs. Norris in the distance, showed a disgusted expression after seeing the dark terracotta in Moon's hand.

Bouncing has actually been very happy these past two days, but also a little troubled.

Happy because it received three small hand warmers.

Troubled because it found that Moon also had three more terracotta figures of the same kind.

Last night, after Moon explained several times that these were not other Nifflers, but Bouncing, the little guy returned to the tree nest to sleep with suspicion.

Bouncing's uneasy mood continued until now,

Until seeing the Niffler in Moon's hand turn into a black lump, it instantly became confident.

"Squeak~" (Mine is still better looking~)

"Meow~" (That's right, that one looks like a mouse.)

Moon ignored the chatter of the two pets. After casting the first layer of color change charm, he found out where the instability of this magic was.

"Are you saying that after casting the color change charm in multiple times, the places where these magic are connected are very unstable?"

After Moon explained, Hermione also picked up the jet-black Niffler terracotta and observed it.

But she didn't see anything.

But seeing Moon's confident look, and the summary of the failed experience just now, she knew that what Moon said made a lot of sense.

To cast the first layer of color change charm on the cat terracotta, Hermione needs to chant the spell five times.

This creates more connections on her first layer of color change charm, which is also the main reason why she cannot cast the second layer of color change charm.

"It seems that the best way is to successfully cast the color change charm in one go."

In this way, the magical structure of the first layer will definitely be very stable.
