Connor's Hogwarts

In the end, several people gave up the idea of ​​finding a place to swim because they could not reach a consensus on the choice of swimming pool.

But the weather is indeed sultry. Although the temperature inside Hogwarts Castle is quite passable. As long as you don't leave the castle, you won't feel very hot, but it is only tolerable. As long as you run outside the confines of the castle, you will be soaked with sweat.

Connor has lived in a cabin in the woods for so many years. Naturally, he knows that there is no such thing as air conditioning in the magical world - he used to not go out at all in the summer, and his home was always quite cool in his impression.

Since there is no air conditioning in the magical world, how do wizards spend the hot summer?

We already knew that there is nothing that magic cannot solve. If there is, it means you don't know this magic.

Connor doesn't have the magic to cool down, but he knows where there are cool places in school.

"Hi, hello, Connor. This is a rare visitor. It's rare to see you come to see me."

"Hello, Professor Flitwick, excuse me." Connor knocked on the door and walked into Professor Flitwick's office. Professor Flitwick was standing on a stool handling some documents.

In Hogwarts, the coolest places are the professors' offices, and Professor Flitwick's office is the coolest among them, so Connor ran over to use the air conditioner.

"Connor, what's the matter? Are you here to ask about your final exam results? Don't worry, I'll give you full marks." Flitwick straightened his robes and said to Connor with a smile.

"No, no, professor, I'm not here to ask that. I'm here to ask you about magic."

"Oh? Is there any magic that even our little geniuses in Ravenclaw can't figure out?" Professor Flitwick said with a smile. Connor is the most outstanding student in this class. As a Ravenclaw, The dean of the school, Professor Flitwick naturally likes this good student of his college very much.

"Ah, how could it be? I still have a lot to learn. Thank you for your praise." Connor scratched his head, then looked around the professor's office, and said: "Professor, I have been studying a magic pattern model by myself recently. But I still feel like it’s still a little short of the mark and I can’t do it, so Professor Dumbledore asked me to ask you for advice.”

"Oh? New type of magic pattern!? It's amazing, come on, let me see it." Flitwick put his hands on the table, looking very interested.

Connor took out his little red book, and Professor Flitwick reached out to take it, pushing up his glasses and looking at it carefully.

"Is this... the magic pattern of the double-sided mirror or a simplified magic pattern! Did you make it, Connor? It's amazing, I have rarely seen such an outstanding student like you. And... this is your family, no, this Is it a magic pattern that I have never seen before, and it is also a magic pattern of painting magic, so you want to combine these two magics? Hmm! Amazing! What a genius idea!"

Professor Flitwick is worthy of being a master of spells. He figured out all the details of the Little Red Book in just two or three strokes. Connor nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. I'm trying to draw magic." The connection' magic pattern is combined with the double-sided mirror magic pattern, and after my research, I found that this is feasible. The two magic patterns are indeed similar, but I encountered a little difficulty in the combination of the magic patterns. You Look here, there is no way for the pattern M on this corner to resonate with the pattern K on this plane."

"Indeed, maybe you should change your mind and add the G pattern at the diagonal position on the diagonal. According to the magic pattern triangle stability principle, the same effect should be achieved."

"I also considered this, but the effect was not ideal, so I tried again"

"..."

Mageology is a broad and profound subject. In fact, most wizards only know how to use spells, but are not proficient in the principles of spell composition.

This is normal, just like many people can drive but don’t know how the car is made.

Regardless of the back-and-forth discussions Connor is having with Professor Flitwick, in fact, his level of knowledge is only to the extent that he has received nine years of compulsory education and knows the working principles of a car's internal combustion engine - it's just a first glimpse. .

And Professor Flitwick is an experienced technician after all, and he is more than enough to teach Connor.

"So, according to Geralt's central limit symmetry principle, you only need to add another V pattern at this position, and your magic pattern will be successful." Professor Flitwick finished explaining.

"That's it, that's it. I completely understand! Thank you, Professor!" Connor said happily.

"Hahaha, I just helped a little bit. In fact, you have already completed most of the work! You are amazing to have such a deep understanding of magic patterns in the first year, Connor." Professor Flitwick He said with a smile.

"Hey, I just like magic."

"I like it! That's right, Connor! I like magic! We all like magic!" Flitwick clapped his hands and looked like he had found a confidant: "Now, there are so many students who are really willing to calm down and study spells and magic patterns. No more, Connor, stick to your heart, I believe you will achieve great success in the future!"

"Ahaha, I'd like to lend you some kind words." Connor felt a little embarrassed when the professor praised him so much.

In fact, there are not many people who are willing to study magic patterns. The reason is still the same: as long as you can drive, who cares how the car is made.

Today's wizards are all driving cars built in the past, and there are fewer and fewer people who can build new cars. This phenomenon in the wizarding world is obviously unreasonable, and Connor sees all of this.

After talking about business, Connor had time to talk to Professor Flitwick about other things.

"Professor, why is your office so cool?" Connor asked pretending not to care.

Flitwick stroked his beard with a smile and said with a smile: "So, you actually thought the weather was too hot and came here to enjoy the coolness, right?"

Connor was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Hey, hey, I'm a little curious."

Flitwick shook his head and said helplessly: "You kid. Let me tell you, you can almost make that magic pattern model yourself."

"But since you asked, let me tell you about it. In fact, you will learn this knowledge in sixth and seventh grade, but I think it's okay to talk to you."

"Yeah!" Connor nodded repeatedly, sat upright, and listened carefully.

"In our spells class, the first and second graders all teach some simple spells. From the third grade, we start teaching runes, and in the sixth grade, we start teaching you elemental magic."

"Elemental magic?" Connor tilted his head.

"Yes, do you still remember the magic spells he used when you fought against the mysterious man that night?"

"You mean the wind blade and fire spell?"

"Yes, these are all elemental magics. Elemental magic is the most commonly used magic by ancient wizards. Although wizards in modern times are no longer accustomed to using these magics, the inheritance has not been cut off."

"Actually, our four houses all have their own representative elements. Gryffindor represents the element of fire, Slytherin represents the element of water, Hufflepuff represents the element of earth, and we, Ravenclaw, represent the element of wind. element."

"Elemental magic is mainly about the composition of these four elements. We wizards also believe that our world is made up of these four elements."

"Actually, the inscription of elemental magic is the simplest. It has only four core magic patterns. Each element corresponds to one magic pattern. Other magic patterns are added and combined on the basis of these four core magic patterns. Made of…”

"The characteristics of elemental magic are that it is simple and crude, but consumes a lot of magic power, so it is put into higher grades to learn. Generally, a young wizard like you will run out of magic power after using one or two elemental magics. Of course you are different, you have more magic power reserves, so I don’t mind telling you this.”

"Because elemental magic will cause a lot of waste of magic power, and the efficiency of using magic power is far inferior to that of our commonly used command magic, so elemental magic will gradually withdraw from the stage of history."

"However, elemental magic has not completely disappeared. In fact, elemental magic has always existed in our lives."

"For example, my office is so cool because of the influence of elemental magic."

"I know! You must have used magic related to the wind element in the room! Professor! I want to learn this!" Connor's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but interject, this is the magic he wants to learn! Just a thought, like being frozen for thousands of miles! That's the real mage!

"Um, this." Professor Flitwick touched his beard, hesitated, jumped down from the chair, walked to the window, and removed a piece of inlay on the window. Connor looked very familiar. The gem, handed to Connor, he said:

"The constant-temperature gemstone, one gold galleon per piece, can be recharged with magic and used repeatedly. It is a must-have for home and travel. Connor, haven't you seen it at home?"

Connor took the gem and was stunned. He recalled that he had indeed seen this kind of gem on the window of his grandfather's house. At that time, he thought it was just a decoration. It turned out that the air conditioner in the magical world looked like this. ! ? !

"You are right. This gem is indeed engraved with inscriptions related to the element of wind and water. In fact, this kind of magic prop that regulates indoor temperature is very common. Connor, you rarely go shopping, right?"

"That's...yes." Connor blushed a little. As a young wizard who came from a wizarding family, it seemed a bit embarrassing that he didn't know this common sense.

"That's not surprising. You are still young and it's normal not to know. In fact, traces of elemental magic are everywhere in our lives. Oil lamps engraved with fire elemental magic, thermostats engraved with wind elemental magic, and water elemental magic are engraved on them. A drinking fountain, a bulldozer engraved with earth element magic." Professor Flitwick said with a smile:

"Connor, the world is very big. You have to pay more attention to observation, otherwise you will always miss a lot..."

There will be another chapter later...probably (ω｀)
