Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 52 Application of Magic Array
Hermione soon realized that she was thinking too much. The moment she pushed open the door of the ancient magic office, she even forgot about the troubles just now, and all her attention was focused on the magnificent scenery in front of her.

The entire office turned into a view of the bottom of the lake. The edge of the lake was inlaid on the edge of the door frame, and no trace of water flowed outside—of course, this could not be real water flow. Hermione had seen it in the first ancient magic class. She can't pass through the illusion created by the magic ball, otherwise she would have yelled out a long time ago.

But this time the illusion was completely different from the last time.What they saw in class were lake water and horse-shaped water monsters, but this time it was a real lost city-this was the first time Hermione saw the city at the bottom of the lake described in the book, not only in an extremely old style (far from It is far inferior to Hogwarts Castle, let alone the ordinary houses nowadays), and the whole city has long been turned into a ruin, and the walls are covered with green algae and aquatic plants.

Professor Haimer was standing in front of a house in the lake. This house was made of a whole huge stone. This obviously used the power of magic, so the stones could be integrated into one.

Hermione saw a faint magic circle imprinted on the wall of the stone house, which was almost invisible and somewhat incomplete.

"This magic circle appears the most times in the city of Loch Ness."

With his back to Hermione, Toby said suddenly: "Miss Granger, you should know the function of this magic circle."

Hermione quickly answered, "I guess it's the magic circle to avoid the water flow, professor, otherwise wizards wouldn't be able to live underwater for a long time."

Toby turned around with a smile, and the illusion around him dissipated little by little, turning back into a magic ball floating beside him.

Al, who was sitting on his shoulder, nodded affirmatively.

"correct answer."

Toby went behind the desk and sat down. Hermione sat across from him as usual, and soon a stack of parchment floated in front of her.

But Hermione didn't pick it up and read it right away. She first glanced at the howling potted plant, and the black armor next to it did what Ron said first—disappeared.

When she turned her head again, she found that Professor Highmore was looking in the same direction.

"It seems that Mr. Weasley is watching carefully."

Toby could understand Hermione's reason for doing this simply after thinking about it: "The two confinement experiences were indeed worthwhile for him, at least he was impressed by the layout of the office."

Hermione wondered if Toby was teaching Ron a lesson.Judging from the expression on the professor's face, it seems that this is not the case.

The rest of the time was passed in silence, the only sounds in the office being the sound of Hermione flipping through the parchment and Toby's continuous writing as he prepared more course materials.

As for Al, it is considered the most leisurely, sitting on the flying carpet and flying around, or jumping on those collections, and wiping them carefully with a handkerchief——the house elves responsible for cleaning are extra It was ordered not to tamper with these collections casually, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

After checking all typos in the first draft and memorizing the above content many times, Hermione said "Good night, Professor." Then she left.

Hermione walked along the long corridor alone, and she suddenly realized that she didn't worry about voting afterwards, because Professor Highmore never asked her about it.

Professor Higher does seem to have changed, as reported in the interview.On him, there was no longer that overwhelming atmosphere.

This is also the feeling of the students on the second day.

"Starting today, we will learn more about magic circles."

Toby looked at the students below and said, "You have mastered part of the complete magic circle and its composition, but this is just the beginning."

"You have already seen the magic ball."

The silver ball with golden lines floated above the podium, and there were countless longings in the eyes of the little wizards. They had long wished that they could have a magic ball, so that they would not have to be afraid of any homework, or pre-class work. detected.

"The magic ball is an extremely complicated creation, and it is almost impossible to reproduce it. This also causes the limitations of the magic circle-for example, it cannot be used in a duel. After all, the enemy will not wait for you to finish drawing the magic circle before attacking. .”

"However, you can still create your own 'magic ball'. It doesn't have to be spherical, and you can just engrave a few magic circles on it. As for the specific materials-my personal suggestion is to start with what you can use. The wood used to make the wand is the best wand that matches you, that is, the wood of your own wand that you bought from Mr. Ollivander, and this wood is the most suitable for you to use."

"But I don't want you to provoke the trees in the school because of this, especially the Forbidden Forest. I also don't want to see you drawing magic circles on your body. Don't forget, once you make a mistake in drawing a magic circle, it is very likely to explode Yes, the act is no less dangerous than creating a spell."

After saying the warning, Toby carefully observed the reactions of the students. Their little faces were all pale with fright, and most of them were imagining the scene of themselves exploding suddenly, which was really disgusting.

"Very good." Toby said with a satisfied smile: "It seems that you are already very clear about the taboos in the application of magic circles, so I don't need to show you similar pictures."

And the picture?

Several students were stunned, and more people restrained themselves not to continue thinking.

"However, apart from the taboo items, the application of magic circles is still extremely extensive. For example, the collection boxes placed in various public rooms are made of magic circles, which can bite the wrists of disobedient students."

"And, in the system of magic circles, as long as you can engrave small enough magic circles, and then put all these magic circles on a wand wood - think about what you can do, a fully automatic The wand for casting magic is completed in this way, no wand gestures or spells are required, just the simplest infusion of magic power, and you can successfully cast any magic."

A wand that casts magic automatically?

The little wizards were all stunned. This is a difficult problem that the magic world has not been able to solve completely, and it has existed for thousands of years.Since the birth of the wand, there have been wizards who have longed for a wand that can cast magic automatically.

After seeing the reactions of the little wizards, Toby's smile suddenly became more satisfied.

"So, do you want to learn more about magic circles?"

The little wizards nodded repeatedly, for fear of falling behind.

"Would you like wands that cast magic automatically?"

The little wizards were still nodding quickly, only a few of them suddenly froze—why did this question and answer feel so familiar?
"very good."

Toby showed a big smile: "Then let's start with the relationship between the size and power of the magic circle, which also includes that the composition of the magic circle of different sizes is not exactly the same, and there will be more knowledge to learn later. ——Coordination and coordination between different magic circles, transforming all existing spells into the form of magic circles”

He listed a lot of knowledge points, and the faces of the little wizards were even uglier than when they heard that they might explode.

One of the little wizards tremblingly raised his hand and asked, "Professor, do we have to learn all this knowledge in one semester?"

"No no no no."

Toby shook a finger from side to side: "This knowledge is too advanced for you, you just need to get a taste of it. It's enough to make a bite box during your exams—oh no, it's good to be a collection box. "

Although they accidentally learned the real name of the collection box, the students still discovered that today's Professor Haimer was surprisingly easy-going. Questions were answered almost indefinitely, with an extraordinary amount of patience.

Toby's assignment today was to hand in a paper on the creative application of a magic circle, whatever it was - a toy, a cauldron, or the fully automatic magic wand that he had been taught in class.

Exuding imagination is much more interesting than looking up information. They watched Professor Haimo walk out of the classroom, and many people couldn't help but look at the calf under the witch robe—they had all read the interview and knew that Haimo The professor has countless injuries, and many girls are still secretly discussing whether to chase after him, so as to ask how Professor Haimer takes care of his face.

Toby walked back to the office with a smile. He was very satisfied with the effect of today's course. The application of the magic circle should always radiate imagination. It can't be as strict as before, otherwise it will restrict the students.

While pushing the door, Toby said to Al with emotion: "I'm such a good professor, better than Severus—"

"What's wrong with me?"
