#62 - Professors' chat

Since those so-called court wizards didn't solve the food shortage at the time,

Muen didn't want to understand the reason they were hunted down.

Professor Flitwick also saw Muen's thoughts, so he didn't talk about these distant legends, but instead took out a quill and wrote on the paper.

"In fact, none of the existing three spells can solve your problem, so I suggest you try to modify a spell yourself, it might have an effect."

After Flitwick finished speaking, he handed over a piece of parchment that had been written on.

-----------------

I, the undersigned, agree that Mr. Muen Scarlett may borrow the book "The Secrets of Spells: Methods of Modifying Spells."

Filius Flitwick

-----------------

"This is a book from the restricted section of the library, I think you will definitely use it."

Muen took the note, glanced at the contents, and then looked at Professor Flitwick.

"Professor, do you think I can modify a spell?"

Muen's confidence wasn't very high. His view of spells had always been from a student's perspective.

That is, he was responsible for learning whatever the professor taught, and he had never thought about modifying a spell.

"Of course, Mr. Scarlett, although there are not many people who modify or create new spells while they are students, there are some."

Hearing Flitwick say this, Muen could only reluctantly agree.

"Uh, okay."

Perhaps seeing that Muen still didn't quite believe in himself, Flitwick smiled and continued to encourage him.

"Always remember, only when you know what you want, can you know what spells to learn."

Under Professor Flitwick's instructions, Muen thanked the other party and quickly walked out of the Charms classroom.

The bell for the next Transfiguration class had already rung.

......

In the evening, after finishing carving pumpkin lanterns, Muen borrowed his first restricted book from the library.

"The Secrets of Spells: Methods of Modifying Spells" was written by Balfour Bran.

In 1593, he took the lead in establishing the Ministry of Magic's Experimental Spell Committee.

This department is responsible for supervising the development and use of experimental spells.

And Balfour Bran had already resigned from the Ministry of Magic when he wrote this book, so this is a summary of a lifetime of work by someone engaged in experimental spells.

After reading the introduction on the title page, Muen became very interested in the content of the book.

The book is divided into two parts, the first part explains how to modify spells, and the second part is about creating spells.

"The first step in modifying a spell is to understand the constituent elements of the spell, the structural framework, and the relationship between the various parts..."

After the library closed, Muen took the thick book back to the common room.

However, as soon as he opened this thick book, Ron exclaimed after glancing at the content on the title page.

"Balfour Bran! I just ate his card before the start of school."

Ron was talking about the Chocolate Frog card, Balfour Bran was also a figure on it.

"Did he also write a book? Dad only said that he was a wizard with deep attainments in spell research."

As Ron spoke, he walked over, and Muen casually turned a page to reveal the title page of the book, so that he could see it more clearly.

"Oh, sure enough, it's about spells, forget it, I'm not interested."

After Ron finished speaking, he left, but his words attracted Hermione, who was sitting not far away.

"This is a restricted book?"

Seeing Hermione cautiously sitting opposite, Muen nodded slightly.

"Then can I... , never mind, or..."

"It's okay, I don't think Professor Flitwick would refuse."

Hermione's eyes lit up slightly after receiving consent, and then she couldn't wait to start reading the contents of the book together.

"The person who wrote this book has researched it very thoroughly, he can actually break down the spells so meticulously."

When most people had returned to the dormitory that night, Muen and Hermione had also finished reading the first chapter.

Hearing Hermione say this, Muen deeply agreed.

In the past, when he learned spells, he only needed to know the spell incantation and gestures, and then practice constantly.

And Balfour Bran broke down every word, every sound, and every subtle movement of the gestures of the spell.

Even the pronunciation tone under different tones was marked by the other party with different meanings.

"I don't think it's possible to read this book just once."

Muen spoke out his true feelings.

"That's right, the content inside is too complicated."

Hermione rubbed her sore eyes and turned to look at Muen again.

"Aren't you researching herbal plants? Why are you learning spells again?"

"I originally just wanted to research a spell that could enlarge plant fruits, but Professor Flitwick insisted that I modify one."

After discovering the difficulty of the basics of spells, Muen couldn't help but complain about the suggestion made by Professor Flitwick.

"Enlarging plant fruits? Is this what you are learning in the Herbology Club?"

"It's not learning, but my own research direction."

Hermione had never joined the club and didn't understand how it worked, so she thought it was the content learned in the club.

"Oh, then what's the use of you researching this, even if the fruit can become bigger, won't it still be the same when planted in the soil?"

Hermione didn't understand Muen's idea.

"I just want to make more people full, okay, let's stop here for today."

As Muen spoke, he put away "The Secrets of Spells: Methods of Modifying Spells" and returned to the dormitory.

And Hermione stood there in confusion after hearing Muen's words.

"Make people full? Could it be that his family can't get enough to eat? Could he be the child of a wanderer?"

Muen didn't know what Hermione was thinking, anyway, he quickly fell into a dream after returning to the dormitory.

......

The next day, Muen repeatedly read the content of the first chapter after getting up early.

After his roommates all came out, they went to the Great Hall together.

At the same time, in the staff dining hall, Professor Sprout was approached by Professor Flitwick as soon as she walked in.

"Pomona, Mr. Scarlett wants to research a spell to enlarge plants, do you know about this?"

"Of course, I recommended this child to you, he has a high talent in herbal plant magic."

Sprout said happily as she sat next to Flitwick, and then filled a bowl of oatmeal porridge.

"Is that so? But I think this child's talent in wizard duels is even more amazing, he casts spells extremely fast!"

"Really? I didn't notice that, but Filius, he is already a member of my club."

Sprout was very happy because Muen was first discovered by him.

Now that another professor has discovered Muen's talent, this makes her unconsciously feel a sense of superiority.

"Oh, don't be like this, it would be a waste not to have such a good seedling join the [Spell Research Society], and I also gave him a book list for modifying spells yesterday."

Flitwick also saw Sprout's expression, in order to prove that Muen actually had more talent in spells, he turned to look at Snape, who was sitting on the side.

"Severus, in what grade did you invent the [Hanging Bell] when you were in school?"

Snape had actually been listening to the conversation between the two professors, and at first he only thought that Muen might really have some talent.

But now Flitwick actually compared a little stupid lion to him, which made his face unconsciously turn cold.

"Third grade, Professor!"
