Settle at Hogwarts

Chapter 8 Curse Practice



Tabor shook his head helplessly. The divine power was too far away from him. If he hadn't borrowed the wand's Dongfeng, he wouldn't even be able to sense it, let alone use it.As for the Elder Wand, it is not something that I can get now. Maybe I can use it to study it after I get to know Dumbledore.

"Koko."

"Do you need anything, little master?"

"Open all the birthday gifts you received last night. Bring them over and let me see what's there."

"Okay, little master."

Tabor watched as Koko snapped her fingers, and a pile of open gift boxes appeared on the wool carpet.

"Little Master, apart from some prank products, there is nothing very dangerous in these gifts. Keke has carefully inspected them."

Tabor nodded and began to sort out the pile of gifts.

The pile of prank products that Koko separated out separately, Tubo knew without looking at the signatures that they were gifts from the group of Gryffindors yesterday.Tubo found Dumbledore's among them, and then took out a large bag of cockroaches from the box.

"..." Can this thing be classified as a prank product?

Tabor looked at the pile of cockroaches that were twisting and turning in the bag. He had trypophobia and looked at the pile of cockroaches that would definitely leave a psychological shadow. He reached out and pinched out one of them, threw it into his mouth at a speed before his brain could react, and chewed two of them subconsciously. Down.

Feeling the soft, creamy popsicles and the crispy and sweet chocolate-flavored candy shell in his mouth, Tubo finally understood why Dumbledore had always been fond of this disgusting-looking candy.

The gifts sorted by Keke are easy to organize. The books are placed in the free space of the bookshelf. The snacks are stored in the locker that has been casted by the expansion spell. Things that can be used directly, such as the wand case, Tubo directly puts his elderberry The wand was slipped inside and hung where it could be easily drawn out.

After packing up all the gifts, Tabor walked to the basement with a copy of "Basic Spells".

At this time, Axel was concentrating on brewing a complicated potion, while Inas was helping with the preparation. The two seemed to have a perfect understanding of each other.

Tabor did not bother them, but directly entered the venue usually used for testing magic props.It is covered with a large amount of protective magic, and even magic blasts will not have an impact on the outside.

Opening the "Basic Spells" that he had already memorized, Tabor reviewed the textbook again.It was while reading the textbooks to learn knowledge that he could clearly feel the obvious difference between the magical world now and more than 50 years later in the book.

Miranda Gorshak, who will be drawn on the chocolate frog picture in the future, was born in 1921 and has not graduated from Hogwarts yet, so the textbook for the Charms class cannot be the "Standard Spells" 50 years later. series.And Mr. Newt is still trying to fall in love with Grindelwald and are jealous of each other, so naturally he has no time to write "Monsters and Where to Find Them".

It was at this time that Tabor could feel that the magical world was not static.Muggles are developing technology, and wizards are also doing various researches.It's just that the population base of wizards is too small, and the chance of geniuses appearing is inherently small. In addition, researchers usually conduct research alone, so the speed of development seems to be far slower than the development of Muggle technology.

After clearing his mind of all the distracting thoughts, Tabor pulled out his wand and chanted the simplest lighting spell in the "Basic Spells".

"Fluorescent Blink"

The tip of the wand suddenly glowed white, but the brightness was a bit dazzling.

Tabor closed his eyes and felt the magic power in his body slowly flowing towards the wand, controlling the flow of magic power to gradually slow down. Then he opened his eyes and saw that the group of light was much dimmer than before, making it suitable for lighting. .

The successful casting of the first spell obviously gave Tabor great confidence. In the following period, Tabor continued to try to cast basic spells. They were basically successful, but sometimes the effects were too good and too much. .

“Theological research notebooks are flying in”

As soon as Tabor finished reciting the spell and waving his wand as written in the book, a black notebook hit him in the face with a loud "snap".

"Uh~~!" Tabor suddenly suffered such a heavy blow, a feeling of sourness instantly surged into his heart, and tears mixed with nosebleeds flowed out uncontrollably.

The Axels, who had just made the potion and wanted to see what Tabor was doing, were startled.

"Tub, are you okay?"

Tabor, who was a little dizzy after being hit, looked at the worried eyes of his parents and nodded quickly: "I'm fine, I just didn't expect the power of the Flying Curse to be so powerful."

Axel looked at the "Basic Spells" spread out on the ground and turned it to the middle, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you able to cast the Flying Spell?"

When Axel asked this question, even Inas, who originally looked worried, was a little shocked.Although she graduated from Beauxbatons and did not know much about Hogwarts' courses and teaching materials, she also knew that the Flying Curse was not a spell that a first- or second-year-old wizard could master. She seemed to be in third or fourth grade. I just learned it.

"Well, I can indeed use this spell, but I'm not proficient enough." Tabor said while picking up the notebook that fell on the ground. This is a record of his guesses about divine power and cannot be seen by others.

As if he had found a novel toy, Axel came to Tabor's side with great interest: "The book "Basic Curses" is a textbook for the fifth grade and before the fifth grade at Hogwarts. It contains almost All common spells, and of course advanced spells such as Apparition, can only be found in the "Advanced Charms" used in sixth and seventh grade."

Tabor looked at the thick book "Basic Magic" in front of him and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"We always complained about the thickness of this book when we were in school, and when you study at Hogwarts, you can find that most professors will not teach according to the textbook, because these authors wrote there thinking There, some relatively difficult knowledge will even be written down to show their profound knowledge.”

Tabor thought of the floating spell and the blasting spell that were placed on the same page in the book, and nodded in agreement.The current Hogwarts textbooks do have many shortcomings, and there is no sense of progression at all.If ordinary people rely solely on self-study, there is a high probability that serious consequences will occur.

After using such unreliable textbooks, it's no wonder Miranda Gorshak wanted to write a series of standard spell books.

"Tabor, Dad knows that you are very smart, but it is not safe to practice new magic alone, so it is best for you to practice under our supervision. If not, let Koko stay by your side."
