Hogwarts: The Book of Laws

Chapter 120 Achilles Paradox

Ever since Hermione mentioned the matter of refining potions that day, Ryan went to Snape to ask for a approval note and obtained the right to use a small classroom.

In fact, there are many small classrooms like Hogwarts, and most of them are used for students to form clubs. It was at this time that Lien learned that Hogwarts had many clubs organized voluntarily by students.

This small classroom is located on the fifth floor. Ryan and Hermione almost didn't find it when they went there because it was too remote.

This was Snape's deliberate arrangement. He knew that the reason why Lean asked him to find a classroom to refine the potion was entirely for Hermione's sake.

So I simply found a remote classroom for Lien on the fifth floor, a floor without classrooms, to avoid further friction between the two colleges.

Rean looked at the oil painting in front of him. If Snape hadn't given him a note saying that this was the entrance to the classroom, no one would have known there was a classroom here.

Hermione followed the instructions on the note and tapped the sunset on the painting with her wand. The sun that had been hanging on the top of the mountain quickly set, revealing the keyhole behind her.

Seeing this, Hermione inserted the key she got from Filch, and then turned it gently. The knight's armor statue as a decoration next to it began to move silently to the side, revealing the full room behind it. It's a dusty classroom.

"Ahem." Hermione kept waving her little hands in front of her nose, hoping to block some of the floating dust.

When the dust slowly subsided, Hermione and Ryan walked into the classroom that already belonged to them.

"My God, this place hasn't been cleaned in more than ten years." Hermione gently picked at the desk with her fingers and found that the dust on the desk was almost a millimeter thick.

"This is normal. Hogwarts is so big, there is always room for free. Well, don't complain, we still have a lot of work to do." Rean shook his head, and then released a person in the classroom Cleansing spell.

In an instant, all the thick and stubborn dust disappeared, revealing the yellow desktop.

But the next work will be very troublesome.

At Hogwarts, it is actually not troublesome to apply for the right to use a classroom. You only need an approval note from the professor to go to Filch to get the key to the corresponding classroom. But after you get the key, the first thing you need to do is clean the entire classroom.

This can also be regarded as an exchange. The school will lend you the classroom to hold club activities, and accordingly, you need to tidy up the classroom.

However, many students are happy to do this, because when tidying up the classroom, they may find some things left by their predecessors. This exciting feeling, similar to opening a blind box, constantly stimulates the little wizards in adolescence.

Having said that, after cleaning the classroom, you need to take the tables and chairs in the classroom to the designated storage room. However, the school has regulations that the little wizards cannot cast spells in the corridor, so they can only move there slowly by themselves.

This is a laborious job, and it is precisely because of this that a large number of young wizards who want to try opening blind boxes have been dissuaded.

Fortunately, Lean has a non-marking stretch bag, which is a great tool for transporting goods.

After transporting the tables and chairs in the classroom to the storage room, Lien moved the potion refining equipment in his dormitory to the newly cleaned classroom.

Then, the two people placed these things on the operating table one by one and arranged them neatly.

"There are still a lot of things missing." After the placement was completed, Lien looked around and sighed.

When he usually makes potions, because the space is too small, he just takes all the materials he needs directly from his pocket and does not set up a medicine cabinet.

Moreover, he had previously dumped the remaining potion residue into the trash can and asked the house elves to help dispose of it.

But now that the conditions have improved, it’s natural that everything is ready, right?

And the most important thing is that an explosion-proof system is required.

Don't think that refining potions is safe. In fact, some potions can cause violent explosions if they go wrong.

But today's laboratory is sufficient.

"So what should we do with this pile of stuff next?" Hermione sat on a stool nearby and pointed to the pile of discarded items collected next to her.

"Disappearance spell?" Rean said tentatively.

Hermione became interested. The Vanishing Curse could be considered a relatively advanced spell.

"Let me try."

Looking at Hermione who already had the wand in her hand, Lean nodded.

"This is a question from the O.W.L exam that fifth grade students will take. Are you sure you have mastered it?"

"Ha, of course, I'm making progress too, okay?" Hermione chuckled and said proudly.

But she also has something to be proud of.

"disappeared without a trace"

Hermione chanted the spell nervously, and most of the garbage on the ground disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Lean with some pride.

Rean smiled at Hermione, then snapped his fingers, and the rest of the garbage disappeared.

Hermione pursed her lips in frustration. The little girl seemed to have been hit hard.

"Okay, don't be unhappy. I believe that one day, you will be like me." Rean touched Hermione's head, messing up the little girl's already fluffy hair.

"When I reach your current strength, you will definitely be stronger than now." Hermione was a little frustrated because she realized that she was telling a fact.

"Do you know the Achilles Paradox?" Rean said looking at Hermione.

"certainly."

Of course the well-read Hermione knew about the Achilles Paradox.

Achilles is a hero who is good at running in ancient Greek mythology. In a race, suppose that his speed is ten times that of the tortoise. The tortoise is one hundred meters in front of him, and one person and one tortoise are racing at the same time.

When Achilles ran one hundred meters and reached the starting point of the tortoise, the tortoise climbed forward another ten meters. When Achilles ran past these ten meters, the tortoise crawled forward another meter. After Achilles ran this meter, the tortoise crawled forward another tenth of a meter...

"But this is different, Lean. I am Achilles and you are the turtle, but the key is that you are ten times faster than me."

"Are you calling me a turtle?" Rean felt that he could not let this topic continue.

"Oh my God, of course not." Hermione was also very smart, and she understood that Rean wanted to end this topic.

In fact, Hermione just wanted to vent. Anyone who keeps chasing a goal that can never be caught will be a little discouraged.

"Okay, why don't you give it a try first, the first potion in the new laboratory." Lien placed the materials on the operating table and said seductively.
