Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

"We all know that a year is divided into twelve months, but in magic, each month has a different name."

At this point, Nico Flamel shouted to the pile of alchemy tools on the ground: "Magic Moon."

A small blackboard flew out from under the black cloth, flew over the secret room, and suddenly grew larger, so big that the students could clearly see the writing on the blackboard.

A string of beautiful lace fonts formed an article. The senior little snakes and little badgers recognized the words above and exclaimed: "Ancient runes!"

"Who volunteered to stand up and read this passage for us." Nico Flamel turned his attention to Leon and other senior students.

"I come."

Moriarty stood up, and no one argued with him.

"January is the first month of the year. It is known as the Wolf Moon, the Cold Moon, the Worm Moon, and the Old Moon. It is named after the severe European winter at the beginning of the year. During this period, all animals, including wild wolves,

It is difficult for most animals to find food, so it is also called the 'Hungry Moon'.

From an occult point of view, January represents the beginning, and is suitable for planning magic related to the future, launching new actions, and the alchemy of new beginnings.

It's also a time for cleansing, a time to let go of the past and start over.

But it’s still very cold this month, it’s winter, so it’s also a time to settle down.”

After Moriarty finished reading the first paragraph, there was a burst of applause in the secret room, and the students all looked at Moriarty with admiration.

Runes are an alphabet, and each rune letter has a completely different meaning in divination, in alchemy, and in stargazing.

Just like this introduction to January, unlike English, one word corresponds to one meaning. Each rune letter represents a hieroglyph of interpretation, and they have extra-deep meaning.

After combining the miscellaneous letters into rune words, there are more meanings! And Moriarty handles it very well.

Only Gemma knew that this was nothing to Moriarty. She opened the "Advanced Rune Translation" borrowed from the library, and the book seemed to still have the warmth of Moriarty's fingers on it.

"February is the snow month, the storm month, and the hunter's month.

The whole world is still cold, and some places are still covered with thick snow. It is suitable for protection and blessing for your home and family.

But this is a period when winter slowly passes and spring gradually awakens. The world is preparing to turn over, and all living things are preparing to show off their talents in spring, which is suitable for developing your creativity and potential."

Moriarty felt that this passage was a bit awkward, but said nothing. He suspected that this "Magic Moon" article could date back to the Middle Ages.

“March is the seed month, chastity month, warm month, and plowing month.

In the months when the earth is fully awake, seeds begin to sprout, spring rain begins to fall, hibernating animals begin to move, and the whole world wakes up.

Many animals are in heat during this time, so it's also a good time for new relationships."

"Oh~"

The students made cheers. In everyone's minds, Moriarty was synonymous with calmness, seriousness, and strength, and he was a person who could bring changes to the magical world.

It’s hard for everyone to imagine what kind of woman Moriarty will develop a relationship with in the future?

When facing Moriarty, the little witches felt quite ashamed of themselves, saying, "I'm not good enough for him."

This also makes hearing the word "love" from Moriarty's mouth as rare as seeing him washing his hair.

But a few witches showed disapproval. Love is a girl's battlefield, and there is no reason why the enemy should not fight even if they attack the territory!

Nico Flamel and Perenelle looked at each other and smiled. Moriarty knew that they were about to show off their affection again, so he quickly continued to read: "March is a good time to make talismans, practice some lucky spells, and strengthen your own."

Strength, transform yourself.

March is also the time when sap flows out of the bark for the first time, so it is also called the ‘Sap Month’! This month is the best time to perform healing magic.”

“April is the green grass moon, the windy moon, the pink moon, and the growth moon.

April is a month when wind and water come to life..."

When Moriarty read this, his heart moved.

There are several elements on the path to advance in elemental magic provided by the system that are temporarily unknown, but in addition to the water element and fire element determined by the system, Moriarty found the wind element.

April connects wind and water.

After Moriarty finished reading this paragraph, Nico Flamel continued: "I would like to add that April means the beginning in English. This is also the last sowing day, just like our wishes or

It is the goal that needs to come into play this month, and it is also suitable for planting, marking the beginning of the flower season. Also, April is the time to cultivate interpersonal relationships.

Okay, please continue." Nico Flamel smiled at Moriarty.

Moriarty continued reading, to July—"July is the Buck Month, when moose grow their first antlers, and when people can do physical work, like

Make handicrafts and adjust your body..."

Dumbledore's eyes flickered. Stag Moon? James Potter's patronus is a stag, and Harry Potter's birthday is also in July...

Moriarty did not think of the Savior's family. He read August again, and when he reached September, Nico Flamel signaled him to stop: "It is September at this moment, so we first learn

Here, okay Moriarty, please take a seat.

Let me see, excellent reading aloud, fluent identification of ancient runes...well, fifty points for Slytherin House."

"Wow..." the students exclaimed. The points added in the alchemy class are always huge, which seems to indicate that the tasks in the alchemy class are heavy and complicated.

"Okay, let's take a look at September." Nicolés Flamel said in a deep voice: "September has entered autumn, and the whole world has begun to move towards a state of peace and recuperation. Many plants are growing here.

The season finally ripens, so we call September the Fruit Moon or Corn Moon.”

"Corn moon!" Moriarty's eyes lit up, and now he seemed to have found the difference between corn candles and ordinary candles made by Nico Flamel.

"In life, September is suitable for resolving quarrels and disputes. From a macro perspective, it is a time to reflect on the future, enter introspection, harvest, wealth, and good luck.

So why do you think all the major schools in the world start in September?" Nico Flamel smiled and said: "I guess philosophers must have considered the special nature of September. Starting school in September is like an established rule——

The Big Four of Hogwarts also follow this rule, and our alchemy class is naturally no exception."

Perenel walked to the middle of the secret room, picked up a candle, and raised it above his head.

The students saw her pinch the candle, and the red candle began to change color and deform, turning into yellow corn.

The students blinked, this is alchemy? It seems not much different from transfiguration.

"It's a huge difference." Perenelle seemed to see the psychology of the students. She said calmly: "Come on, come on! But be careful: don't use a wand to turn candles into corn, and don't use a wand to turn candles into corn."

Casting without a wand, casting without sound - even if you succeed, it's meaningless."

The students followed Perenel's example and raised the candle above their heads, pinching it on the left and touching it on the right, but nothing happened.

Moriarty picked up an ordinary candle and started to try it. The magic was introduced into the candle little by little, but the candle exploded with a "bang".

"Recover quickly." Moriarty restored the candle and summarized the reason for the first failure: "Ordinary candles cannot withstand magic. If you want to use magic to shape it, you must need a force to neutralize it."

"Is this the difference with Transfiguration?" Tonks thought for a moment and said, "What if we engrave the 'shaping' runes on ordinary candles? Is it easy to complete the shaping?

"

"There is no doubt that it is." Perenelle was far away from Tonks, but she clearly heard Tonks' question. She said seriously: "Maybe you have done some alchemy experiments before, but I don't know.

It is recommended that you enable magic runes."

"What's the reason?" Moriarty raised his head. He spent six months last semester learning how to condense runes and carve them into the magic circle.

These learning processes are undoubtedly an alchemy experiment. Alchemy can already be completed through magic runes, so why do we need to practice so hard?

Moriarty is a time-efficient person.

But Perenelle shook her head slightly: "Bad idea, kid."

"Look here, children." Nico Flamel said: "Since our students are exceptionally good, I have to introduce to you the study plan I have formulated to prevent you from learning to walk well in your eagerness for success.

Try running sometimes.

Listen up, I've roughly divided the alchemy you need to learn into three major sections.

First, complete some simple alchemy through simple alchemy materials and simple alchemy methods. Each alchemy in the early stage takes at least two to three lessons. Yes, this is a long process, but don’t underestimate its role.

It is the basis for your future study of alchemy.

Second, use the alchemy formula to quickly complete alchemy. I think that the time given to you in two lessons will be enough to complete one alchemy.

The third one is Tonks' proposal to complete alchemy through magic runes. When you can condense every rune or Latin rune as you like, you can try to use magic runes to alchemy - 1

The class time is enough.

But magic runes are endless. I know that Hogwarts has courses on ancient runes. In fact, in addition to runes and Latin runes, there are also Greek runes, ancient Greek secret runes, and ancient Roman runes.

Runes, Mayan runes, Atlantis sea runes, Japanese runes, Chinese oracle bone runes, Indian pyramid runes...

In addition to humans, other races also have runes! Centaur stargazing runes, vampire curse runes, elf guardian runes...there are so many!"

Nico Flamel spread out his hands: "Who dares to say that he can learn all the runes? We only need to learn the parts we need. Do you understand what I mean? Learn now and sell now!"

Moriarty, are you satisfied with this reason? You can't always take shortcuts. Talent is not for taking shortcuts. You can use your talents to explore new skies? To open up an unknown destiny? Whatever you do.

good!"

"Thank you for your teaching." Moriarty nodded solemnly towards Nico Flamel. He calmed down, placed the candle in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes and quietly felt the connection between the candle and September.

.

Nico Flamel smiled: "Well done. Do you know that meditation is the best assistant for beginners in alchemy? Through meditation, you can better concentrate, improve your mental power, and use your imagination.

"

So the students began to meditate. After a few minutes, Moriarty opened his eyes and looked at the candle thoughtfully.

Many little wizards also thought of something, but more of them scratched their heads anxiously. For example, Jericho felt that his mind was full of fragmented pictures.

Seeing that the students were confused again, Perenelle prompted: "When talking about candles, what is people's first reaction?"

Lilith immediately raised her hand: "Light the candle!"
