In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 48 48. "Floating Spell"

"Hogwarts was founded more than 11 years ago, and during this period, almost all children who have the potential to become wizards will be selected by the magic school before the age of 11. If it is a student who is completely from a Muggle family, [-] How much knowledge of natural science can a student who has just graduated from elementary school learn?"

Neville couldn't answer Jon's question, he didn't even understand what the word gravitation meant, and who was Newton.

"No matter how many, these students basically do not have access to too high a level of scientific knowledge, and when they are absorbed by Hogwarts and become a little wizard to learn magic, they will not even think about understanding Muggles. For them, if they have the energy and time, they might as well study a few more spells."

"Coupled with the constraints of the Secrecy Act and traditional wizards' discrimination against Muggles, the wizarding world has never faced up to Muggles' own understanding of the world. I have never thought about the changes that magic has brought to this world. What is it? What a deeper change has taken place!"

Neville looked like he was listening to a bible, and he looked at Jon blankly.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Jon took a deep breath to ease the excitement and excitement in his heart.

"When we use the floating spell, what we think in our hearts is to believe that objects can fly, but in fact there are many ways to make objects fly, and magic itself chooses the most simple and direct one, forming a kind of power Lift the object up, but what if I assign it a way to fly when I cast the spell?"

"What else is there?" Neville became more and more confused. After all, for a child like him who had never received any modern science education since childhood, he couldn't understand the principle of why objects always fall to the ground.

Jon didn't continue to explain to him, and held his wand solemnly, aiming the tip of the wand at the middle of the bedroom.

The spell that was about to cocoon in Neville's ears rang out again with incomparable clarity.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

This floating spell has no target, or in other words, everything in the entire bedroom is the target of Jon's spell.

And at the moment when the incantation sounded, Neville's eyes widened to the maximum, looking at this miraculous scene in the room in shock!
In the dormitory, apart from the two living people, he and Jon, parchment, quill pens, ink bottles, desks, chairs, including the two heaviest four-poster beds, all items were floating in the air!
There is a significant difference between that floating state and the effect produced by the normal floating spell.

After the normal floating spell takes effect, the object is obviously going straight up and down, and it will stop when it rises to a certain height.

And now these objects floating in front of Neville's eyes are all floating irregularly, like fish floating in the water, without any restrictions at all!
But such a miraculous scene only lasted for less than two seconds, and then the sound of "crackling" things falling kept ringing in their ears.

The effect of Jon's spell ended, and the flying thing fell back to the ground again.

The originally clean and tidy dormitory instantly turned into a garbage dump. The tables and chairs were scattered all over the place. The two beds were directly turned over on the ground, two ink bottles were broken, and there were large pieces of ink on the ground. Scattered all over the place.

But neither Jon nor Neville cared about this. The two stared at each other with big eyes, one person's eyes were full of excitement that the conjecture was confirmed, and the other person's eyes were full of "Why did it suddenly happen like this?" unbelievable.

"how did you do it?"

Neville felt that this sentence felt very familiar when he said it, as if he had asked the exact same question not long ago.

"As I told you, to formulate a way for the floating spell to make objects fly, it is not to use magic power to lift it up, but to control gravity."

Without hiding any secrets, Jon directly told Neville generously about his discovery.

But now Neville couldn't even figure out what the word gravity meant, let alone let him understand it.

Jon actually felt at the beginning that he had a high probability of not being able to succeed. As one of the four fundamental forces in physics, he felt that this ultimate rule could not be changed so easily.

But in fact, magic itself is a rule that breaks the rules. The normal floating spell also completely violates the common sense of physics, and a force is generated out of thin air to lift the object up.

Thinking about it from another angle, compared to creating a new force, changing the existing gravitational force may be easier for magic.

But Jon obviously has a general grasp of this form of "floating spell", and the effect that can be maintained can't even last longer than three seconds.

But the most difficult thing in the world is the process from 0 to 1. As long as he can successfully use this spell once, he is not afraid of not being able to master it proficiently in the future.

After restraining his joy and tidying up the dormitory together with Neville, Jon left the dormitory straight away.

He wants to share this news with Slughorn. Even the fat walrus has a high probability of not being able to understand what gravity is, but it does not prevent him from passing on the happy things.

Knocked on the door of the office, and after a reply came from inside, Jon pushed the door open and walked in.

The office was filled with smoke, and Slughorn was brewing a pot of potion by a cauldron.

When Jon walked in, he had just put a piece of dried snake skin like a belt into the boiling potion.

Jon blinked, becoming a little interested in the pot of potion.

"Teacher, what are you cooking?"

"Hmm, a potion that is very beneficial to the health of the elderly. Although I eat a lot of sugar, I also pay attention to my health. After all, no one wants to die in a hospital bed."

While stirring the potion with his wand, he told Jon the formula.

"The powder from the horn of the unicorn, a piece of the dragon's liver and the tears of Dumbledore's pet bird, these three are the core materials, and there are secondary accessories such as the snake skin. Do you want to Want some? Even if you are still young, it will be of great benefit to your growing body, but this pot of potion takes a long time to brew, so you have to wait."

"Then I will thank you in advance, teacher."

"Oh, by the way, why did you come to me? Do you have any questions about magic?"

Slughorn stopped turning his wand and looked up at Jon suspiciously.

"Of course not, but my floating spell has finally made a breakthrough!"

His happy smile was still on his face, but there was something different in that smile from when he came.
