The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

In the afternoon, Erwin went to Professor Flitwick's office as scheduled to conduct a study report for the week.

According to the normal teaching schedule of Hogwarts Charms class, three spells are usually taught in two weeks. Although these spells are not necessarily very practical, the teaching process can cultivate the spellcasting ability of young wizards, so it is indispensable.

Of course, Erwin is an exception.

Professor Flitwick sat on the elevated office chair and made a starting gesture.

Erwin demonstrated his proficiency in the softening and repairing spells against a copper fire seal. Professor Flitwick applauded and expressed his admiration. He was not simply inspecting Erwin, but also spent about half an hour explaining it.

He learned about the derived uses and precautions of these two spells, which are not found in standard spell books and belong to the professor's private experience. Finally, Flitwick waved his hand and doubled Erwin's learning amount for the next week.

"Let's see your limits, Erwin." Every wrinkle on Flitwick's face showed a smile. "You almost have the magic level of a fifth grader now, maybe in two or three years you will

You can go directly to take the standard wizard qualification exam..."

Teaching knowledge to an outstanding student is a pleasure for teachers.

"Then I won't use it after I learn all the standard spells?" Erwin raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I will definitely have something new to teach you when the time comes." Professor Flitwick said with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Erwin recalled the rumors among students about this short professor. Flitwick was undoubtedly a master of spells and a duel champion when he was young. This may be due to his short stature. Wizarding society should have

There is serious discrimination against fat people, because the probability of being hit by a curse with someone of Hagrid's size is at least twenty times that of Flitwick.

In short, if I could learn something special from him, Erwin would definitely make a lot of money.

After another night, Erwin got up early the next morning and jogged out of the castle. When he met the gamekeeper who also got up early, he greeted the gamekeeper naturally, "Good morning, Mr. Hagrid."

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, but Erwin had already run away. "Good morning." Hagrid shouted to his back.

He is really rarely called sir by the students at Hogwarts.

Erwin went to the owl shed on the way, but did not see Sabi. Owls are not very good at flying birds. Even if they are a special breed bred with magic, it seems that they cannot go back and forth between Hogwarts and Hogwarts in half a day.

London.

Arriving at the auditorium precisely during breakfast time, Erwin happened to see the Malfoy child at the door causing trouble for the Potter child again. The source of the dispute was a long package.

"This is not an ordinary broom, this is Nimbus Two Thousand, licensed to Harry by Professor McGonagall." Ron, who has always been inseparable from Potter, shouted. Since the beginning of school, he has been constantly teased by Malfoy about his family background and self-esteem.

He suffered a lot of damage and would not miss any opportunity to fight back.

Not only Malfoy was surprised, but Erwin couldn't help but stop, "Professor McGonagall? Did she buy this broom for Harry?"

Ron knew he had spilled the beans and hesitated.

From the corner of his eye, Erwin saw Professor Flitwick walking towards him and realized that there was no need for him to intervene in this conflict. After breakfast, he rushed up to the main building of the castle and blocked Professor McGonagall at the door of his office.

"Fair! Professor! Fair! Professor!" Erwin looked excited and said in an angry tone, "How do you explain classmate Potter's broom?"

Professor McGonagall had a rare look of embarrassment on her face. "Harry's parents are both heroes. It can be said that every British wizard owes them a favor... I bought the broom with several other professors as a token of appreciation for Harry."

A little compensation.”

"You must have selfish motives." Erwin said firmly.

McGonagall was speechless. Her hunch was correct. This child was indeed the most troublesome student in Hogwarts. She had never been questioned like this by a student in her previous decades of teaching.

"Harry has the same outstanding Quidditch talent as his father..." Professor McGonagall couldn't continue. She just talked to the boy in front of her about fairness and justice a few days ago, but then she opened it to Harry Potter.

The backdoor is really wrong.

"Okay," she finally said, "I know what you want. You can leave get out of class early in the future, but only if you fully master the transformation content I taught that day."

Erwin knew he had won, "Thank you very much, Professor." He did not forget to be polite.

In fact, most talented students would choose to skip a grade, but Erwin would never do that. He wished he could stay at Hogwarts for a few more years.

It wasn't until night that Sabi brought a reply. Erwin first opened the letter from Stuart. On the letter was a long and densely packed text.

"Disappearance Curse, Disappearance Curse, Alert Curse, Detection Curse, Anti-locking Curse... Good guy," Erwin couldn't help but smacked his mouth. Dipper really didn't hide anything.

Although his fighting ability is limited, his ability to escape is top-notch - otherwise, he wouldn't be alive today.

Erwin carefully put the stack of letters into the locker in his suitcase. These spells should not be taught at Hogwarts and must be kept carefully. He then opened another letter and found out that the Diagon Alley Pharmacy

The Fountain of Power was not sent back to him. In addition to the letter paper, the envelope contained a few shiny coins.

A total of nine galleons and twelve kilos.

Erwin was unhappy. He just asked for help to identify it, not to sell it.

"If there are more dragon blood extracts, we will purchase them at a high price of one hundred and forty galleons per ounce." The letter read.

It does seem to be a very generous price, but after Erwin's calculation, the number of Galleons consumed to extract one ounce of Power Fountain is about three hundred.

Gan, profiteer.

Also, according to the rules of financial currency, it is impossible for goblins to mint currency whose actual value is greater than or equal to the face value. The cost of minting one galleung is less than half a galleon, and the difference is the seigniorage, which all flows into the pockets of the goblins.

To what extent did the Minister of Magic back then have his brain squeezed by the door before he would allow a non-human race to take charge of the economy of the entire wizarding society?

But Erwin finally knew what the Fountain of Power was, a purified dragon's blood, which the goblins added to Gallon as a guarantee of its value.

Then, there is an answer to another question that has been bothering Erwin before. Where is the magic power stored? It is not the soul, because those ghosts no longer have the ability to cast spells, nor can it be bones, nerves or muscles, because if the magic power is stored

There will be very obvious feelings in those places, so there is only one answer left.

blood.

That's why magic power mainly increases with age.

Therefore, those wizarding families pride themselves on pure blood and believe that Muggle-born wizards will pollute their bloodline.

Therefore, drinking the Fountain of Power can immediately increase the magic power for a period of time. Essentially, the magic power contained in the liquid penetrates directly into the blood through the stomach and can be used to cast spells immediately.

But he knew that this was of no use for the time being. He would not be able to make money in a short time unless he was willing to trade at a loss.

Losing more than 50% is a business that even a fool would not do.

Erwin stuffed this letter into his suitcase and lay down on the bed. He might as well sleep honestly on days when he had no money.

Before he drifted off to sleep, he vaguely heard Neville saying that his wrist still hurt a little.

In the new week, Erwin did not go directly to practice the spells Dipper gave him, but went to the library again. This time he borrowed books related to spells, and even a complete set of "Standard Spells".

Only systematic and step-by-step learning can be efficient. Although he has to report to Professor Flitwick every week, Erwin does not intend to follow what is in the textbook. He is ready to find his own rhythm.

There are many types of spells, and even peeling a lemon can have a special spell. At least one-third of the Hogwarts collection is a collection of various spells, but most of them are not important. Erwin finally selected

In addition to three priority learning items.

Armor protects the body, can protect against general magic damage effects, and reflect some spells.

The curse stops immediately, eliminating the continuous effects of general spells.

Clean up, able to remove stains, liquids and dust, and is the lowest level of disappearing spell.

Erwin believes that offensive abilities are of little use to him at present. His pistol is enough, and protective spells are much fewer and more important than offensive spells.

, which can not only help to resist possible unknown threats, but also give him the ability to deal with unexpected accidents in learning magic, such as spells going out of control and potions leaking.

Although the essence of magic is that wizards use their thinking and will to change the world, learning new magic usually starts with incantations, so that magic can be controlled and operable. Incantations are the only way to recognize a magic. And innate

Magic that does not require spells and wands can indeed be called innate abilities, such as Erwin's kinetic energy grant.

Erwin originally wanted to find some healing spells. After all, according to Neville, the school nurse Madam Pomfrey healed his broken wrist "in one fell swoop". And then she even ended up with a book on medical treatment.

None can be found.

Are even the simplest healing spells in the restricted area?

The so-called banned books mean that students must have legitimate reasons and obtain the consent of a certain professor before they can borrow a specific book.

Also, if medical magic was very popular, then there would be no need for a dedicated school doctor position at Hogwarts.

Since high-end magic knowledge is in the forbidden area, Erwin feels that one day he will take action on it, so practicing the spells provided by Dipper must also be put on the agenda.

The difficulty of these spells is not comparable to basic spells such as the Ignition Curse and the Illuminating Curse. Professor Flitwick said that Erwin's magic level is at least that of a fifth grader, but he has only just reached the threshold of practice.

It is conceivable that in the next month or two or even until the end of the semester, his main focus will be on learning these magic spells. Talent is not the decisive factor after all, and long-term hard work is necessary.

Otherwise? He is only twelve years old. Is it possible that he can reach the level of the Dark Lord after only learning magic for one or two years?
