16- A little bit about magic

16- A little bit about magic

The train picked up speed little by little, and the lovely couple of Mr. and Mrs. Granger as well as Lupet standing on the platform gradually turned into three little black dots whose faces were unclear. Then the train turned a corner and all three people disappeared.

Hermione sat back in her seat and took out a heavy tome from her bag.

"Hogwarts: A History, is about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and its history. I love reading it. You can read it if you have time."

"I've read it, and it's very interesting to understand what happened after the four founders founded the school and after that how it is going."

Rhys didn't lie. He bought this book without even a second's hesitation after seeing it in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. This book was also the first book he read in Diagon Alley—— Although the book contains more than a thousand pages, Rhys finished the tome in just two days and one night.

While reading this book, the thousand-year history of Hogwarts unfolded in front of him like a scroll, giving Rhys a glimpse of what Hogwarts looked like after he and his friends left.

It is like a sapling, growing up little by little and becoming what the planter wants it to be.

"Really? That's great -" After learning that Rhys had read "Hogwarts: A History", Hermione was so happy that she couldn't suppress her desire to discuss the contents of the book with Rhys, but before she could speak, their conversation was interrupted by two uninvited guests.

The door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a silver-haired girl as delicate as a doll appeared at the door of the carriage pushing a pile of boxes.

It was Daphne, the older sister of the Greengrass sisters whom Rhys had met at Borgin and Burkes.

"Ah, excuse me. Every other place is full, can I sit here?"

Although it was a question, Daphne didn't think she would be rejected at all. She pushed the pile of boxes into the cabin without waiting for Rhys and Hermione to agree. It wasn't until she walked in that she noticed that the person sitting in the cabin was The man she had met in Knockturn Alley before.

"It's you!?" She was extremely surprised.

In Daphne's opinion, there are only shady people in Knockturn Alley, and the same is most likely true for Rhys and Lupet, but who would have thought that Rhys was actually a student at Hogwarts? What's even more outrageous is that he is still a freshman!

How ridiculous is it that a man who was chatting with her father in a shop that specializes in selling dark magic items in Knockturn Alley has not even reached the age of going to school!

Her mouth was open enough to fit a baguette into it.

"The world is such a small place, isn't it?" Rhys welcomed Daphne's arrival.

It is better to have a cabin full of acquaintances than a large group of strangers with strange origins.

After Daphne finished speaking, she couldn't wait to ask: "Have you previewed the spells you will use this semester? I feel like you know all kinds of spells very well..."

"No, I just know a little bit."

This sentence is completely unconvincing.

Seeing Rhys admit that he "understands" magic spells, Hermione suddenly became interested: "I also tried to learn a lot of magic spells during the holidays. Is there any magic that you are particularly good at?"

Rhys blinked: "You ask me what I am best at, and my answer is that I am best at the magic of preserving ice cream."

"ah?"

Hermione thought there was something wrong with her hearing for a while, but when Rhys took out three large boxes of ice cream with a hint of white steam from somewhere, she suddenly felt that she had heard correctly.

"Wanna give it a try?" Rhys picked up a box of yogurt ice cream and pushed the other two boxes towards Hermione and Daphne.

"How did you do it? I remember it was clearly mentioned in Gamp's five basic Laws of elemental transformation that food cannot be transformed out of thin air." Faced with Rhys's operation, Hermione exclaimed, feeling that she was well-informed. Daphne's eyes widened as well - she had never seen such magic before.

The basic principles of the wizarding world were overturned in front of them.

"It's not conjured out of thin air. I simply combined a few not-so-complex spells to achieve this effect. I said I know a little bit about magic, had I not?."

The freezing spell is just a simple application of the traceless expansion spell.

A series of shocks made Hermione and Daphne numb. They carefully picked up the ice cream from the table and each tasted a little.

The cold sweetness told them that all this was true.

Most importantly, this ice cream is really delicious!!!!
