Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

"The time when the porcupine quills were added was wrong. It should be added as soon as the potion stops boiling after taking off the fire. Do it again."

"When cooking tentacle slugs, the temperature must be increased evenly within thirty seconds. Too rapid temperature changes will affect the properties of the medicine, so do it again."

"Don't use magic to replace the feel of the hand. You have to feel the grinding with your own hands. Insufficient grinding will affect the precipitation of the medicinal properties, and excessive grinding will cause the medicinal properties to evaporate. Do it again."

Trolls, pig warts, stone monsters...

In front of Snape, who pursues perfection, every time he makes a mistake, he has to endure a baptism of 'venom'.

A few hours later, Gretel had gained dozens of birthplaces of magical creatures. He believed that if it weren't for the fact that there were enough magical creatures with insufficient IQ, he would have started to get the birthplaces of natural materials, such as stones and rotten wood...

Thanks to Snape's continuous vicious corrections, after another bottle of potion was configured, the Potions experience + N that kept dancing on the panel finally turned into a gorgeous Potions level +1.

It's like opening up the two channels of Ren and Du in martial arts novels.

After successfully changing Potions from level 0 to level 1, Gretel found that his affinity for potion materials instantly increased a lot.

In his eyes, the scabies potion potion ingredients that seemed the same to him suddenly had their own characteristics.

He can clearly distinguish the difference between each fang. If he picks up a fang at random, he will know the intensity and time required to grind it.

Even the previously mysterious and unpredictable flames can now be easily mastered by him and seize the opportunity to add materials.

Without waiting for Snape to comment on the potion, he started operating it naturally.

Grind, steam, process, remove from heat, add porcupine quills, wave your wand to speed up the reaction, fill, and wait to review.

“That’s enough lockdown for today, but don’t feel like you did a great job.

After such a long time, even a giant monster can learn how to configure potions. The science of potions is extensive and profound, but you are still far away. The confinement will continue next Monday, so you'd better not be late. "

After Gretel prepared the perfect scabies treatment potion twice in a row without any mistakes, Snape finally chose to let it go.

Gretel didn't care at all about Snape's 'venom spray'. After all, the poisonous tongue, like the greasy head, had already solidified into Snape's trademark.

He is still immersed in that kind of smooth operation.

For the first time, I felt the beauty of Potions taught by Snape, the beauty of a slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance.

Just like the satisfaction after successfully using a spell for the first time, it brings that kind of magical magic that makes people feel fascinated and confused.

Of course, the intoxicated Gretel didn't know that after he left, Snape stared at the pile of potions on the table, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

——

Tuesday.

After finishing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Gretel let out a sigh of relief and thanked Merlin for not letting Quirinath Quiro favor him.

Before class, he was worried that Dumbledore would ask Quirrell to give him some advice. It turned out that Dumbledore was not yet blinded by old age, and Quirrell, who behaved so strangely, could not win the trust of the strongest white wizard.

Even in order not to attract Quirrell's attention, Gretel chose to go with the crowd during class.

As Professor Quirrell recounts his exciting adventures, he joins his classmates in giving him a skeptical look.

Of course, Gretel was also prepared in his mind. After all, if Dumbledore really didn't realize that Voldemort was living in the back of Quirrell's head, he chose to let Quirrell give him a small treatment.

He said that he could not be a prophet and report Voldemort's conspiracy to Dumbledore, even if it would attract Voldemort's attention.

As for the source of information, it can be attributed to prophecy. Although he has not learned it yet, it does not delay him from becoming a prophet.

After all, if we really talk about the prophecy, Gretel can sweep the entire Hogwarts, and Trelawney will have to step aside.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and there was still plenty of time for secret development.

There were two classes in Ravenclaw on Tuesday morning. One was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that had just ended and was unable to learn anything.

The other course is the Charms class taught by the respected Dean of the Eagle Academy, Professor Filius Flitwick.

After parting ways with the Slytherin snakes, Gretel followed the eaglets to the Charms classroom.

Gryffindor's little lions also came back from the greenhouse outside the castle.

——

When class started, Gretel noticed that his dean seemed a little excited. As expected, when Harry Potter was called upon, Professor Flitwick's face instantly turned red like a volcano erupting.

Finally, after the great savior Harry Potter answered, Professor Flitwick screamed excitedly and fell to the ground and disappeared.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the professor returned to the classroom with an apology. Of course, he also came back with a small cake that represented the professor's apology.

When everyone was stroking their wands and preparing to learn the first spell in their lives, Professor Flitwick asked everyone to take out their textbooks and taught them the basics.

The pronunciation, gestures, and magical configurations involved in the spell.

In the words of Professor Flitwick: "You can fail to cast any spell, but you can never cast the wrong spell."

To prove it, the professor told a story widely circulated in the magic world. A poor wizard planned to use magic to clean it up, but he made a mistake in the magic configuration and successfully summoned a Siberian bison to his chest.

Fortunately, someone else was present at the time, otherwise the stressed bison would have made him laugh.

——

"Professor, that means that the higher the level of the spell, the more magic configurations are involved. Does that mean that the essence of any kind of magic is actually a collection of magic configurations." Grete said. hand questions.

"Mr. Gretel's guess is correct. To a certain extent, it is correct. Just like the flying spell, by analyzing its magical configuration, we can divide it into three parts, the dynamic configuration and the floating configuration. shape and direction configuration.

Each configuration contains several other smaller configurations." In order to answer the question more intuitively, Professor Flitwick used his wand to project the complete configuration of the Flying Spell in the air, and put each sub-structure into The type is introduced.

"Of course, these will be gradually handed over to everyone in the subsequent magic theory. Now let's continue to learn these basic magic configurations and the functions they perform."

…

"That's it for today's lesson. If you don't understand anything, you are welcome to come to my office and ask for help. I will be happy to answer it for you."

Flitwick left with his front foot, and Gretel followed closely with his back foot. He didn't even notice the savior behind him who was hesitant to speak, and the little bucktooth holding a letter of challenge in his hand.

"Forget it, it's okay. Anyway, I have to teach Transfiguration with Ravenclaw in the afternoon, and then I will challenge him." Hermione Granger comforted herself in her heart.

Ron tugged on Harry's robes, "Harry, I heard Fred say that what Ravenclaw dislikes the most is us Gryffindors, and even Slytherin is much closer to us. ”

Harry, who was naturally sensitive, had long noticed the anxiety in Ron's words, and just sighed inconspicuously, "It's nothing, Ron, I just want to make more friends, and promise Merlin that you will always be my friend." , really, believe me.”

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell in your Hogwarts curriculum. No one should be naughty in my class, or I will ask him to leave and never allow him to come in again." Dai Dai. The bespectacled Professor McGonagall announced the classroom discipline with a straight face.

Although he had known for a long time that there was no older cat girl to watch, Gretel was still a little disappointed. After all, that was one of the only seven registered and legal Agmanis in the magic world.

Transfiguration seems to be different from the Charms class. It does not have complex magical configurations to analyze. In other words, today's Transfiguration is more similar to some strange power that I am thinking about.

Professor McGonagall turned the desk into a pig in front of all the little wizards, and then back again, without any unnecessary spells or gestures related to magical configurations.

All it seemed to do was a simple knock, and the desk turned into a pig, and then another knock, and the pig turned into a desk again.

After that, Professor McGonagall gave each of the little wizards a match and asked them to try to turn it into a needle.

Everyone tried it, but only Grete sat there, staring at the match in front of him and thinking deeply.

Professor McGonagall was patrolling the classroom, observing McGarrett who had signed up with her early.

It is not difficult for Gretel to turn into a needle. He has successfully performed the transformation spell more than once before reporting for duty, but he only knew about it but did not know why.

In layman's terms, I know how to use it, but I don't know how it works.

Originally, he thought that Professor McGonagall would be like Professor Flitwick, leading the young wizard to understand the principles first, and then formally casting spells. Who would have thought that this course would not teach theory and start directly with practice.

Of the skills on the panel, after last night's breakthrough and upgrade in Potions, only Transfiguration had a 0 on it.

Potions class is an experimental class. As long as there are enough potion materials to consume, you can always break through with proficiency by slowly grinding.

Various magic spells require him to understand various configurations. If he understands enough magic configurations, the more proficiency he will gain after casting spells.

Only knowing the deformation technique but not knowing the reason is like having a bug and completely pretending to be dead after successfully logging into the panel.

No matter how successfully he casts the spell, he has not gained any more proficiency, and there is still a big 0 hanging on it.

Of course, Gretel had long since given up any hope for the prophecy technique that had not yet been logged into the panel. It was too mysterious and could not be understood by an ordinary person like him.

"Mr. Gretel, do you have any opinions on this course?" Professor McGonagall walked over to Gretel and asked.

"Of course not, professor. I'm just wondering, what are the rules that an object follows when it transforms into another? Does it mean it's just a sensory deception? Or does it really change completely from the inside out? Another substance?"

Professor McGonagall burst into laughter, "Mr. Gretel, you are actually thinking too much. You have to know that countless wise men have thought about this problem from ancient times to the present, but do you know what the conclusion is?"

Gretel raised his head and cast a curious gaze.

"The conclusion is that the existence of transfiguration itself is a natural law, a law that exists with the emergence of wizards. You can understand it as an illusion, or you can understand it as the transformation of matter.

But in the final analysis, it is a natural law that can run smoothly under the command of your magic power. When you choose to end the spell and dispel the magic power, or wait until the magic power is exhausted, it will still turn into its original form. "

Gretel's eyes gradually brightened, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out his wand from his arms.

Today I will update a 3,000-word chapter for the time being, and tomorrow I will add another 3,000-word chapter for all book friends. I hope you will read it. Thank you.

Ron: I feel like I'm going to lose my friend.

Harry: Ron, you think too much. There are three gangs of men, multiple friends and multiple paths.

Gretel: Please give me some partners with whom I can study together.

Hermione: Do you think I can?
