The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

The next day, the rare sunshine in late autumn passed through the gaps between the branches and shone on the ground of the Forbidden Forest.

November is almost halfway over, there are not many leaves left on the branches, and winter is coming.

"If you don't come again, I will consider burying the car directly."

Hagrid led Erwin, his broad feet stepping on the thick fallen leaves, making a crunching sound.

They came to the location of the sinkhole. The semi-scrapted Anglia car was inside, and there was a simple wooden shed made of vines and branches above the sinkhole.

"I feel like it is some kind of animal, not like an ordinary Muggle machine." Hagrid shrugged, "I originally wanted to try to take care of it, but I still couldn't figure out what it eats. I even Here comes Muggle gasoline..."

Despite his rough appearance, the gamekeeper is very delicate...only when dealing with animals.

"Mr. Weasley has modified it. I think it won't need to consider fuel like ordinary Muggle cars... After all, broomsticks don't need fuel to fly infinitely, right?" Erwin said. .

Perpetual motion, which is impossible to exist from a scientific point of view, is really not difficult for magic, and it even only requires a few not very complicated magic text sequences.

Motivation has never been an issue.

Erwin jumped into the pit. The Ford Anglia was now covered with dust, the windshield was all broken, and the paint on the car had begun to fade. The dent in the front of the car had not improved at all, and it looked the worst. The proper end of life is to be sent to a scrapyard and crushed into a pile of scrap metal.

Erwin knocked on the part of its hood that was still intact, "I guess you should be able to understand what I'm saying. If you are still 'alive', please do something to show it."

The wheels of the old Anglia car turned slightly, and the lights flashed.

Does it have a survival instinct? In other words, it does behave like a living creature, but its structure is obviously mechanical.

This is different from Quasimodo or even Esmeralda. They can show intelligence, but they do not have biological instincts. They are purely artificial creations, and they are essentially tools. A legendary alchemist master created a Made to be a stable and reliable tool.

"What are you going to do?" Hagrid shouted from above. He was too big to get down this pit.

"It shouldn't be difficult..." Erwin pointed the wand at the Anglia car and began to imagine a three-dimensional diagram of its internal structure in his mind.

After reading the drawings sent by Professor Stewart, it was not difficult for him at all.

Hopefully Mr. Weasley hasn't made too many changes to its internal structure.

“Repaired as good as new!”

The so-called curse can actually be understood as the wizard giving instructions to the world, and the world itself can be regarded as a huge and sophisticated program machine, and only the wizard has the authority to give instructions to it.

Only issuing instructions without affecting the execution of the instructions is the most basic method of casting spells.

Even the repair spell Erwin used was like this.

But the simple method of casting the spell does not mean that the difficulty is low.

Erwin felt that his magic power was unsustainable for a moment. Although it was only half a second, it showed that the magic power consumption was already staggering. After all, with his bloodline, he should not have to consider magic power regeneration.

The changes in the Anglia car in front of me were even more astonishing. The deflated front of the car expanded and recovered like air. The dust on the car body was removed, the scratches were repaired, and the missing wipers and lights were restored.

Even the broken windshield was completely repaired.

To break it down, this repair spell actually includes multiple effects such as deformation, duplication and rearrangement of molecules, disappearance of matter, etc. If the spell corresponding to each effect is used to cast the spell separately, the required magic power consumption is actually

It will be much lower, which means that the more detailed the spell instructions are, the easier it is to execute, and the more macroscopic the instructions, the more difficult they are to execute.

However, how to combine the detailed magic effects to achieve the desired effect depends on the wizard's wisdom and ability. Therefore, if you don't have to worry about the consumption of magic power, it is obviously more appropriate to use macro magic spells, because only one command is needed.

No matter how much the casting time is shortened, a wizard can only use one kind of magic spell at a time, so naturally the more things this magic spell can do, the better.

Combination spell casting and macro spell casting are just two different ways of casting spells. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no distinction between them.

This kind of knowledge that Erwin naturally came up with when studying magic would not appear in the Advanced Charms textbook until the sixth grade. This made him once again complain that the basic education provided by Hogwarts is actually at the junior college level.

.

The car has been repaired and is as new as when it left the factory.

"Awesome." Hagrid smacked his lips after witnessing all this, "Being able to directly repair such a big thing is something that many adult wizards cannot do."

This is a common compliment that adults give to minors. Many young wizards find it useful, but for Erwin, the effect is average.

"It should be fine," he said. "Now it's time to get it up."

"I brought a lasso." Hagrid took out a coil of thick rope, "but I probably need to make some other tools."

"No need to bother." Erwin pointed the wand at his feet. He slowly floated into the air, took one step and landed on the ground.

Then he pointed the wand at the Anglia car, causing it to slowly float up, out of the pit, and suspended in mid-air.

Hagrid took the handle and turned the old-fashioned family car over, and Erwin controlled the buoyancy and slowly placed it on the ground.

And when the tires just touched the ground, the classic Anglia suddenly started the engine, and it looked like it was about to drive away suddenly.

This is a completely normal reaction of a wild animal that is captured and then suddenly freed.

It also shows that it has indeed been completely repaired.

But Erwin's reaction was faster. When its wheels first started to rotate, the kinetic energy that had not yet been canceled was given and started again, making it float again.

If the wheels cannot grip the ground, it means that it has no ability to move. This is a limitation of a car.

However, the speed of the Angria car did not slow down. Although its wheels were spinning, it was moving forward - it seemed that Erwin's repair spell had repaired all its previously damaged flying devices.

This is somewhat unexpected.

But it wasn't a big problem. Erwin was not alone here. Hagrid swung the car and the lasso accurately stopped the front of the car.

Hunters who specialize in strength are very scary.

Hagrid roared, and his thick arms tightened violently. The Anglia car was unable to resist at all under the huge force. It suddenly fell to the ground, and the fragile windshield was shattered into pieces under the violent rebound.

scum.

Erwin estimated that Hagrid's power was not much weaker than Quasimodo's.

For a living organism, this can already cause serious injuries, but for a car, it has almost no effect. The engine of the classic car roars and the tires raise clouds of dust.

But it couldn't escape Hagrid's control at all. The gamekeeper's posture was like taming a wild horse, and there was no sign of any effort involved.

After realizing that he couldn't break free, the classic Anglia car stopped suddenly. Hagrid was caught off guard and his body was a little unstable for a moment. The classic car started to reverse, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to knock down Hagrid.

However, the gamekeeper still easily resisted the rear of the car, "Haha, I can't let you sneak back into the forest this time! Be good, I won't let you suffer."

Seeing that Hagrid could handle it on his own, Erwin didn't rush to take action. The gamekeeper's tone of voice was as if he was facing a disobedient animal. Erwin found it quite interesting. Apparently Hagrid also agreed with him.

I also discovered something unusual about this car.

It does look like some kind of animal.

The classic car was not interested in Hagrid's comfort at all. It desperately wanted to knock over the big man and get out of his control. After finding that it was impossible to do so, it began to try to break away again. During the struggle, the car body became pitted again.

.

Erwin's repair spell was basically in vain.

Fortunately, Mr. Weasley only modified such a light family car, and what he wanted to get was a main battle tank, which would be a lot of fun.

Hagrid was a little helpless with the car for a while. Although it looked like an animal, it was still essentially a car. It didn’t need to eat, and it felt no pain. This meant that it had no possibility of being tamed, because the process of taming it was very difficult.

The important reward and punishment mechanism cannot be implemented at all.

Erwin has also taken care of several animals, such as Sabi, and Norberta, who is now far away in Romania, so he also knows very well how to make an animal with a low IQ obedient, which is nothing more than a carrot and a stick.

However, a car needs neither a carrot nor a stick.

So it seems... there is no way to make it obey?

Just dismantle it?

Erwin watched this man competing against each other, and suddenly his mind moved.

He just learned a brand new magic a day ago.

Curse, secret, invisible but effective.

He just passed the wand over, no need to recite the incantation.

The Anglia stopped suddenly, and Erwin was sure he saw it tremble.

It feels this pain from the soul.

It didn't move at all for more than ten seconds. Hagrid was surprised, but suddenly the classic car burst out with amazing force, and he had to tighten the noose again.

It stopped again after more than ten seconds. It should be that the pain struck again. The effect of the pain curse is to make the target feel pain, but it is not continuous, but intermittent.

That's why it's even more torturous, even if it's a basic curse it's still a curse.

And the pain caused... doesn't seem to be the general level that Riddle said.

Yes, the curse can be cast on the car, which means - it has a soul.

Erwin guessed that Mr. Weasley had probably implanted the soul of a dog or a horse into the classic car, giving it some characteristics of a domestic animal.

Since the soul is involved, it is inevitable to use some invisible light magic. No wonder Mrs. Weasley has such an attitude. She is eager to get rid of the relationship with this car.
