Chapter 74 73. Because this is science

Before you know it, the time has arrived on Halloween.

With the huge sales of "Dragonlance Chronicles", Dudley no longer has to worry about money for a short time.

However, we still have to go to the Forbidden Forest. During this period of time, Dudley has been to the Forbidden Forest no less than twenty times, and he has also drawn a small map of the distribution of magical plants and magical creatures. There are many rare materials there that cannot be bought outside.

For example, the venom of Acromantula is not only expensive, a pint is worth one hundred galleons. The key is that it is not sold except in the Forbidden Forest. It has a price but no market.

The main reason is that Acromantulas are too dangerous and can be dealt with by a single ordinary wizard. But when you find an Acromantula, it means you have found a group of Acromantulas. They are carnivorous, highly intelligent, extremely aggressive, and can reproduce quickly.

Its eggs are classified as Class A non-trade commodities. Currently, the wizarding world has no means to tame this species.

Belongs to a quite dangerous species.

But there are really too many of them in the Forbidden Forest, so many that they are almost everywhere in its sphere of influence.

When Dudley and other members of the exercise group returned to the castle, they smelled the sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin wafting in the corridor.

The roasted pumpkins really taste good, especially the pumpkins grown by Hagrid, which are not only huge in size but also sweeter than those sold in the market outside.

If you want to evaluate it, only one sentence "color art" is enough.

Wizards also celebrate Halloween, but the way they do it is different from that of ordinary people. There is no trick-or-treating rule here.

Dudley heard from the little wizards passing by that Dumbledore had invited a skeleton band, which seemed to be preparing for a lively and lively performance.

All in all, this is Dudley's first holiday at Hogwarts.

It would be better if there was no Charms class.

Ever since Dudley used the 'Lighting Technique' to forge a 'luminescent flash', Professor Flitwick became particularly interested in him, believing that Dudley had a very high talent for magic.

He had expressed in class more than once that he wanted Dudley to transfer to Ravenclaw.

But they were all rejected.

Therefore, every class must pay attention to the progress of Dudley's curse.

"Today's Charms lesson is about making objects fly." Professor Flitwick said, waving the wand in his hand gently: "Levitation Charm! This is a very useful spell, it can save you a lot of energy."

The podium, textbooks, quills, and almost everything on the podium levitated one by one under Professor Flitwick's spell.

Professor Flitwick first demonstrated it himself, and then began to let the little wizards try it, but unfortunately they all failed without exception.

Dudley didn't try, he just stared at the feathers as if he thought of something.

"One wave, one shake, remember, one wave, one shake. It's also very important to recite the spell accurately - don't forget the wizard Barufio, who said the 'f' instead of an 's' and found himself lying on the bed

On the floor, with a bison standing on its chest."

Pronunciation is very important, especially for little wizards who are new to this magic.

"Wingardim Leviosa"

Professor Flitwick recited the incantation again, and the feathers slowly rose into the sky along with the incantation he recited.

In fact, for young wizards, the floating spell is still very difficult. It can be said to be the most difficult among the first-year spells.

Many little wizards failed, basically showing no reaction, and some even set their hats on fire.

As you know, Hermione has a bad habit of speaking very bluntly.

Without saying a word, he squirted at the little wizard who was assigned to his group. Yes, it was the big guy who almost set Harry's hat on fire.

Seamus.

"Your pronunciation, your gestures and movements are all wrong!"

"It's impossible to cast a spell this way."

"You say it's so awesome, if you can do it, you can do it?!"

Perhaps because he was used to being in the same group as Neville, Seamus responded very unhappily.

"Wingardim Leviosa"

The first one to pronounce the spell correctly was, without exception, Hermione.

With a flick of the wand, the feathers on the desk began to flutter.

"Perfect, one point from Gryffindor."

Professor Flitwick pointed at the feathers in the sky and screamed.

At this moment, Dudley took advantage of Professor Flitwick's attention to Hermione, slowly took off his scarf, grabbed the feathers on the table and rubbed them frantically until the feathers stuck to the table, and then grabbed the wand.

Start rubbing in the same way with the scarf until you hear a subtle 'crackling' sound in the air.

The scarf around his neck is made of wool.

Then

"Wingardim Leviosa"

The same tone of voice and the same standard actions as Hermione's, so completely consistent and standard that they cannot be reproduced in a standard way.

Of course, ignore Dalin's hill-like body shape.

The feather actually 'flyed'.

"Oh, my God."

Professor Flitwick screamed loudly and pointed in Dudley's direction.

"Look, Dursley is doing better. I think he has mastered the essence of the Levitation Curse. He only needs to raise his level a little higher to fully master this curse."

"It's hard to imagine that a little wizard could master it so perfectly the first time."

Seeing Professor Flitwick's excited expression, Dudley suspected that he would faint from being too excited.

"Two points for Slytherin."

Got two points very easily.

Dudley shrugged, everything seemed so casual.

The little Slytherins nodded secretly.

'As expected of Mr. Dursley, he subdued Malfoy, chatted and laughed with Sir Carlo, and mastered the levitating spell so easily.'

So here comes the question, can Dudley do the levitating spell?

The answer is.

Know how to use a hammer.

He doesn't know any levitation spell at all.

But he can also make feathers 'fly'.

It's so easy that you can do it even if you don't know any magic.

Because this is science.

The secret lies in the woolen scarf. Dudley rubbed the feathers with the woolen scarf, causing the woolen scarf to lose electrons and become positively charged. The feathers gained electrons and became negatively charged, and the feathers became negatively charged and adsorbed to the table.

When the wool scarf rubs the wand, the wand is also negatively charged, and the wool scarf is positively charged. The 'cracking' sound is the sound produced by the neutralization of positive and negative charges.

The same charges on the feather and the wand repel each other, exerting an upward repulsive force on the feather, causing the feather to float in the air.

It looks like the levitation spell is in effect.

It's actually just a simple physical phenomenon.

Or called the electrostatic octopus phenomenon.

Dudley looked around speechlessly at the little wizards who looked at him with admiration. The poor children all suffered the consequences of being uneducated.

He doesn't know magic, but he knows science.

"Dudley you are awesome!"

Only Hermione looked at Dudley with amusement and said.

Obviously she recognized Dudley's little trick, but she didn't report it.

Don't forget, Hermione was also the top student in her grade at Oxford Dragon Primary School, and she could handle mere physics phenomena.

A chicken feather flew into the sky, and there was a god in the sky. The god farted, and the chicken feather fell to the ground.
