Chapter 34： Magic Creation and Halloween

Through a message from a slightly talkative named Chagus Gaunt, Felix confirmed that this ancient book came from a family called Gaunt, or at least they had owned it for a long time.

Because the following notes are full of praise to this great grandfather.

There is more than one person.

This gives Felix the pleasure of reading reviews.

The magic text that Felix is ​​preparing to complete is also from this ancient book. The reason why it is a "magic product" rather than an "alchemy product" is because its internal circuit is completely constructed by one magic text, and there is no future generation. Traces of alchemy.

Many people can’t tell this, but Felix is ​​the exception—magic text can be used on ancient magic or engraved on objects, because it is a language, a language with magical powers.

Its essence is the exploration and summary of magic by ancient wizards.

Alchemy is different. They partly inherit the ancient magic texts and develop on their own. Their purpose is to "leave magic power on items and make them have special magic functions."

So the symbols used in alchemy cannot be called language, but only magical symbols.

But it also has advantages. In order to leave magic power on various items, many great wizards have tried various methods, leaving behind many incredible enchanting skills.

The masterpiece of this aspect is the French alchemist Nick Le May.

Compared with alchemy, magic artifacts can be regarded as "old antiques". This is one of the reasons why he believes that the age of the notes is quite long.

...

The magic article that Felix wants to complete is called "The Bound Vine", which uses the extended growth characteristics of the magic vine plant itself to launch a surprise attack. The advantage is that there is no need to chant, and the launch is stable and undisturbed.

But if you really want to say how powerful it is, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom, at least Felix has a question mark in his heart.

But he doesn't value power either. What he values ​​is the thoughts contained in it: one is the idea of ​​making magic articles; the other is the skill of how to deeply integrate the mutually opposing magical characteristics.

Unicorn, represents purity and kindness;

Devil’s Net is a very aggressive magic plant. It always actively attacks various small animals and unlucky human beings. Hunting is their instinct.

Under normal circumstances, the magical characteristics of the two are difficult to combine. Felix refers to the practice of ancient books and uses the beating willow to neutralize this opposition. Although the beating will be violent, it is actually not compromised. Buckled neutral plant.

Felix waved his magic wand to break up the cushion woven with unicorn hair and put it in the clear water to soak it. Almost instantly, the clear water turned dark.

Felix: "..."

He changed a few more basins of water before he cleaned the unicorn hair, and then dried it with magic.

Until this time, the unicorn hair showed its original appearance. The soft and smooth white long hair was stretched freely, and the warm light continued to flow, as if it were a solidified mercury creation.

The other two main materials need time to cultivate. The Devil Net has to wait for it to grow up. The willow branches need to be soaked with magic power to make them more flexible before they can be easily transformed.

Felix estimates that the preparations will not be completed until at least the end of November.

But I can think about how to optimize the magic text circuit in advance...

Day by day, Felix completed the first large-scale unified exam in five grades—this is the exam he promised at the beginning of school.

The weekend before Halloween, he was still busy correcting the test papers.

Fortunately, he is not alone, and there is another assistant who is accompanying him to work overtime.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Hermione covered her mouth and yawned, giving a peek at Professor Haipu.

"Professor, I am finished correcting."

Felix raised his head, "I have some more, you can go back first. Have a good Halloween party."

Hermione said good night and left the office. As she walked on the road, she also looked forward to three days later. But what she was going to attend was not the party organized by the school, but the five-hundredth anniversary of the death of Gryffindor's ghost "Nick the Almost Headless".

Back in the common room, many little wizards in Gryffindor were still making up their homework.

Ron let out a wailing, his potions class essay is still eight inches short, and the history of magic essay is one foot short.

"Why do you have to leave so many homework before Halloween!"

Ron yelled out the aspirations of many little wizards, they all agreed, and then continued to bow their heads to make up their homework.

Hermione sat next to Harry and Ron and said bluntly: "If you finish your homework earlier, you won't have so much trouble."

She is much busier than other people. In addition to homework, she not only has to complete her job as an assistant to the ancient magic text, but also practice the magic text taught by Professor Haipu. So far, she has mastered 19 magic texts.

Professor Haipu said that she has the opportunity to complete an alchemy product independently this year.

Ron grinned, "Don't be wordy, please lend me a treatise on the history of magic."

"You have to do the homework by yourself!"

"I'm just a reference, right, Harry?"

Harry nodded quickly.

Finally, Hermione lent them the homework.

In the next two days, the holiday atmosphere on campus is getting stronger and stronger. Although it was pouring rain outside the window and the sky was as dark as ink, the room was bright and cheerful.

Professor Flitwick decorated the auditorium with live bats, Professor McGonagall deformed huge colorful decorations, and the huge pumpkins grown by Hagrid finally came into use. They were carved into hollow lanterns, enough to accommodate three or five people. inside.

There was wind on the campus, and Dumbledore ordered a skeleton dance troupe to cheer for the festival.

Everyone is looking forward to the party on Halloween.

Only Harry and Ron were unhappy, because Harry couldn't save face and agreed to the "almost headless" Nick to participate in the five-hundred anniversary celebration, while Ron supported his brother and gave up his life to accompany him.

But the more they see the lights in the auditorium, the more bitter their smiles become.

This bitterness finally reached its peak in the afternoon of Halloween.

At seven o'clock, the three of them went straight through the doorway, preparing to go to the banquet. When passing by the auditorium, there were lights and festoons, and the candlelight was shining. Each of the huge pumpkin lanterns was the size of a carriage, and some little wizards had already chosen their seats and were talking and laughing.

When Harry squeezed through the crowd, he even saw one of the twins commanding the ghost doll, chasing after the little wizards one after another, spraying black air on their faces, and the magic puppets made a "creak" ghost cry.

Just the day before, Felix released the results and fulfilled his promise. The first place in each grade received a customized version of the magic puppet, which is more powerful and contains more "movements" inside.

And the first place in the fourth grade is not one of the twins, but Cedric of Hufflepuff-he is the number one all year round. However, when he was choosing the prize, he was fooled by the twins and chose the ghost doll.

He is sitting with his friends now, but he looks at a third-grade Ravenclaw girl. He suddenly regrets it. If he chooses a beautiful young lady and gives it to this girl...

Cedric's heart turned back and forth, and the road under Harry's feet was winding and winding, they went all the way down, straight to the basement, and the joy of behind them became lower and lower, just like this was how they felt.

Passing through a cold corridor full of black candles, they saw the "almost headless" Nick standing at the door of a room to greet the guests. He was dressed up today, draped in a black velvet curtain.

"Welcome, my dear friend, it is great that you can come..."

Almost at the same time, Dumbledore also announced the official start of the Halloween party, and the cheers of the little wizards rang through the auditorium.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other, their faces were gloomy under the blue candlelight, and the three walked in as if they were dead.
