The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

"A good answer." Perenelle nodded and smiled at Lilith: "What are you waiting for? Light a candle and try! Pay attention to the burning of the candle. Generally speaking, further interpretation is required."

The students lit the candles, and not long after, everyone was surprised to find that all kinds of things happened to the burning candles.

Lilith's candle flame repeatedly flared, beveled.

Tonks's candle flickered and crackled.

Leon's candle burns too fast, almost at the moment of lighting the candle, his candle "brushes" until it burns a third.

Marcus's candle danced, gradually forming a spiral flame.

Soldaya's candle wicks are "knotted" to create a twin flame.

The candles of other groups also had strange phenomena: Jericho's candle wax splashed and almost shot into Jericho's eyes; Cedric's candle couldn't stand up, and would fall down as soon as he let go.

And most of the little wizards' candles gave off a lot of faint smoke, white, black, purple, and even green.

The students frantically struggled with their own candles. Seeing this scene, Nicole May's eyes flashed with emotion, who is not an alchemy apprentice!

Until he saw Moriarty's candle standing steadily on the table, burning slowly, with a smile on his face: "Very well, Moriarty, can we see that your candle is different. Now, turn around It's time for you to give me a reason."

"I think it's the result of mental power." Moriarty replied in a deep voice. Among the students present, there are many young wizards whose magic power is comparable to that of adult wizards. Compared with them, Moriarty's twenty-year magic power is not enough. Not outstanding, but only his candle is the most normal, indicating that Moriarty has an ability that other students do not have or lack.

Nicolas May affirmed Moriarty's answer: "It's spiritual power, children, keep it in mind! Spiritual power is one of the most basic elements in alchemy formulas."

"The reason why Moriarty's candles are normal is related to his stable spiritual power," Perenelle explained to the students: "Through meditation, there is a unique connection between Moriarty and candles—— In fact, you have them too. This is a gift from the universe to wizards!

And when Moriarty's stable spiritual power wraps the candle, lighting the candle is like changing the way of life for the candle. Don't look at the candle burning, it will eventually disappear and leave only a puddle of wax oil. In fact, alchemy In the concept, it just becomes another form. "

Moriarty asked, "Gaseous?"

"Yes," Nicolas looked at him, "Dumbledore told me about the three-state transformation theory you put forward in Transfiguration. This theory is also applicable as long as it is slightly modified to become the three-state transformation theory." in alchemy.

However, this involves practical alchemy props. Obviously, it has nothing to do with our course. We will discuss it in detail after class. "

After finishing speaking, Nicole May walked to the podium and found Lilith raised her hand: "Professor, is Mr. Filch's kerosene lamp the alchemy prop you provided him?"

Nicole May and Perenelle looked at each other with a smile: "After we came to Hogwarts, Mr. Filch told me that it was difficult for him to catch the mischievous ones among you.

He always asks us to give him some help, so—you know, I gave him a kerosene lamp to help him break the invisibility and immobilization, and a pair of shoes that can make him Naughty children who can catch up with night tours. "

"It turned out to be like this!" The students suddenly realized, and then let out a sigh. Now they knew the reason why Li Qiaodan was caught, and they had to be careful of Filch when they sneaked out for night tours in the future.

"Okay, children, stop talking." Perenelle sat back on the recliner, and she asked the students to restore the candles, and then relight them until the burning candles became calm.

"Professor, I think I can move on to the next stage." Moriarty raised his hand, and Nicolas Flamel said briefly, "Yes, let's start trying to shape."

Moriarty closed his eyes again, meditating.

In a state of highly concentrated mental power, Moriarty mobilized his magic power, and in his mind, the shapes of the candle and the corn gradually overlapped.

In less than five minutes, Moriarty completed the shaping, and a small piece of candle has turned into a small piece of corn.

Nicolas held Moriarty's experimental product in his hand and squeezed it, "Your understanding of Transfiguration helped you quickly complete the step of shaping, the next thing we need to do is transform, transform the candle For real, edible corn."

Moriarty looked at him: "Is changing the essence the biggest difference between alchemy and transfiguration?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Moriarty tried to tie the "Magic Month" message to corn.

Turning candles into corn in the corn moon sounds like an easy task, but Moriarty found out that magic power, spiritual power, the natural power of the magic month, and the essence of corn and candles are the four elements. There are countless ways to arrange and combine them!

And when he tries to introduce magic power, it will cause changes in the arrangement and combination. For alchemy, the method of controlling variables is not feasible. Only by determining the quality, quantity, and energy of the above four elements to a certain value at the same time can it be Complete the essential transformation!

The alchemical formula mentioned by Nicolas May was a calculation tool used to solve this trouble.

For beginners, they must try again and again to find out the most correct arrangement and value before they can succeed.

After learning about this situation, the students collapsed. How long will it take until the Year of the Monkey? If you are unlucky and can't reach the correct value every time you try, doesn't it mean that you have to spend your whole life on candles?

This is alchemy? How ridiculous!

The students quit, and Jericho slammed the candle on the ground: "If my child asks me what I learned at Hogwarts in a few years? Do I have to answer him--Dad has been studying candles all his life." Transformed into corn! What bullshit! We have better options! Why do we have to learn alchemy?"

Most of the students agreed, they said that what is unacceptable is that there is an alchemy formula, why not let them use it!

Nicole May and Perenelle lay on the reclining chairs leisurely, shaking lightly, a ball of light flew out from under the black cloth and flew over their heads, emitting light like a small sun. Soon, the two old men showed their A comfortable expression.

"Professor McGonagall?" Dumbledore said suddenly, "Can you make some candles for us? I want to do this alchemy experiment."

The chamber of secrets suddenly became quiet, and the students in front all turned their heads to look at Dumbledore.

Professor McGonagall created more than a dozen small candles and distributed them to Dumbledore and the professors.

Dumbledore closed his eyes, and a few seconds later, he lit the candle, and the burning candle was normal—all the professors also completed this step.

Then there is shaping, which is equally stress-free for Dumbledore and the professors.

"Ah, the next step is the essential transformation that stumps our heirs of Slytherin, tsk tsk." Dumbledore held up the candle and looked back and forth.

The little wizards were taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the "Heir of Slytherin" that Dumbledore said was referring to all the students!

Students, especially the little snakes. Xia bowed her head in shame. As the heirs of Slytherin, they complained about difficulties and feared difficulties in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets!

What would Salazar Slytherin think if he found out? What would Godric Gryffindor think if he found out!

"Huh? It's not simple, it's not simple..." Dumbledore sighed, he raised his eyes and legs in a rare way, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

The students saw bumps on the surface of the candle on Dumbledore's palm, and then a lot of popcorn popped out!

Dumbledore picked up a piece of popcorn, put it in his mouth and chewed it: "Well, there is a smell of wax oil. If you want me to say, sugar must be added!"

"Hahaha..." The students were amused. Dumbledore obviously failed, but he drew closer to the students. The students found that the professors had some minor problems in the step of transforming their essence.

This makes the students feel relaxed and no longer afraid of failure.

Nicolas May already knew which step Dumbledore made was wrong just by the sound of the popcorn popping, he shook his head and smiled, "Albus, you still can't change the habit that your magic power is 4.56% greater than your mental power. That's In 1950, you magically infused a Hungarian Horntail, and dragon blood sprayed out of its snout uncontrollably."

Thinking of his experience of studying dragon's blood, Dumbledore also smiled: "What you said reminds me of Newt. He is always the opposite of me, the child who believes in the power of the mind over magic."

Nicole May and Dumbledore started talking as if no one was there, and the students were dumbfounded, but Moriarty caught a few key words and details.

Dumbledore discovered 12 uses for dragon's blood.

Newt refers to Hufflepuff's senior, Newt Scamander.

Magic power is 4.56% greater than mental power.

At this time, Dumbledore finished talking with Nicolas, he stood up, and walked in the secret room with a tall figure.

"Few people know that when the headmaster of Hogwarts was Mr. Armando Dippet, I, who was the professor of Transfiguration at the time, suggested that Headmaster Armando teach alchemy.

I remember when I knocked on the door of the principal's office and told Principal Armando about my intentions, Principal Armando stared at me for a minute. Then, he told me not to use magic, but to write by hand to the Ministry of Magic and the students. Parents write back.

Of course I refused, and then I understood what he meant, and never refined the word alchemy again. "

The students thought about the story, but Dumbledore didn't give them time to think. He clapped his hands and caught the students' attention.

"Listen well, children, the early stages of alchemy are bitter, cumbersome, and full of difficulties. There are good reasons why our professor does not let you use formulas and other easy methods.

The two professors are for your future - the alchemy experiment is not complete until we have experienced thousands of failures and persist in practicing and learning until we succeed.

After going through a long experiment process, you will find that alchemy formulas and magic runes, and even making an alchemy prop is a breeze.

Alchemy, and even mysticism have broad prospects, and you can also have a piece of land of your own under this sky.

The alchemy class at Hogwarts is not a crash course for alchemists, instilling knowledge into you and making you memorize it by rote? Trust me, it's not magic! If we do that, Merlin and the Big Four will climb out of the coffin in anger and cast a killing curse on me! "
