Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 13 Magic is a miracle of belief
When the surprise of regaining what he had lost subsided, Neville stared at Roger for a few seconds and remembered that he had seen him before.

At St. Mungo's, when I went to visit my parents, I happened to see a young wizard of the same age. I looked at him a few more times, and he turned around and gave me a friendly smile.

Although he remembered it, Neville did not use it as an excuse to talk to Roger.

Neville is a slightly introverted child.

After putting away his luggage and the train started, Roger took out two books and started reading.

Seeing how Roger was concentrating on his work, making lines, circles and annotations on the two books from time to time, Neville was too embarrassed to disturb him just to kill time during the boring journey on the train.

Even when Hannah, who was equally bored, approached him to talk, he answered in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Roger.

until……

Roger raised his eyes from the book, stopped writing, and looked towards the carriage door.

He noticed a gaze.

A pretty little girl with thick curly hair was standing at the door of the carriage, staring at Roger's book with wide eyes through the glass window on the door.

Neville, who was always paying attention to Roger, noticed Roger's movements and turned his head in the direction of Roger's gaze.

Then he stood up, opened the car door, and asked the girl standing at the door: "Excuse me, didn't you find a place to sit?"

Neville is an introvert and is not very good at dealing with people, but he is a warm-hearted person. He is always willing to help others and is brave in action.

"No, I'm just curious about what it is, a spell, a magical item, or..." The curly-haired girl raised her hand in Roger's direction.

"My name is Hermione, Hermione Granger. Can you tell me?" She was always respectful when asking others questions.

Because in her opinion knowledge is a precious thing, she doesn't like to belittle knowledge.

Her respect for knowledge suppressed the stress she subconsciously wanted to show when she came into contact with the strange little wizard.

"Are you talking about this?" As Roger spoke, the book in front of him automatically turned a page without wind.

"Yes!" Hermione had a very interested expression on her face.

However, Hannah and Neville had no reaction to this phenomenon.

Hermione is a child whose parents are both Muggles like Roger. She suddenly awakened and became a wizard. She had never been exposed to magic before and suddenly entered a strange "new world". Naturally, she was full of curiosity.

In the opinion of Hermione, who has been a top student since her days in Muggle school, the best way to understand an unfamiliar group of people is naturally to read.

She bought a lot of books from Flourish and Blotts and read them every day. It was common for her fingers to be cut by the edges of the pages. If she had the ability to automatically turn pages like Roger, it would be much more comfortable... It was summer now and it was too hot to wear gloves. She didn't want her hands to be sweaty.

Neville and Hannah, who were born in the wizarding world, one from a pure-blood family and the other also having some pure-blood blood, are not surprised by this.

Not to mention books that turn pages automatically, they have even heard of books that bite people.

Curious? Some, but they are too lazy to dig deep. There are too many strange things and magical items in the magical world. They have long been desensitized. Unless it is a "too weird, what is this" type, they generally won't explore it.

Roger didn't keep Hermione in suspense, but gave a straightforward answer: "Levitation spell."

"I opened the Hogwarts first-year textbook, Standard Spells, Elementary. The first spell in the book is this. It's very simple and low in danger, and it's very suitable for young wizards to get started."

"The spell is Wingardium Leviosa." As he spoke, Roger hooked his finger, and the book floated slightly. With a stroke, the page turned. Roger did not dislike answering other people's questions. While imparting knowledge to others, he also sorted out the knowledge he had already mastered and filled in the gaps.

If you find that you cannot pass on your knowledge to others, there are generally two situations. One is that you simply do not fully grasp the knowledge, and the other is that the gap in cognitive or intellectual levels between the two parties is too large.

"Are you casting a spell? You...you're not using a wand, and you're not chanting any spells!" Hermione, who was a Muggle not long ago, had a look of disbelief on her face.

"Wandless casting, the wand greatly enhances your ability to communicate with magic during the casting process. Wandless casting only requires you to put more concentration into the casting process. Silent spells, the method of casting spells by silently reciting spells in your mind, requires you to have a deep understanding of spells. If your concentration and understanding of spells reach the pinnacle, you don't even need to recite spells in your mind, a thought is magic."

Its specific performance is somewhat similar to the scene when Harry Potter and his cousin were visiting the zoo and the magic riot caused the glass in front of the snake to disappear.

However, it does not have much value in actual combat. Magic blessed by wand spells is definitely more powerful. Even if it is used to cover up one's own combat intentions, silent spells are enough, and there is no need to cast spells with the mind.

"Of course, I haven't reached that level. I only use wandless and silent spells, and I only have the levitation spell that can be cast in the way of wandless and silent spells."

"???"

When Roger finished speaking, not only Hermione, but also Hannah and Neville were stunned.

Whether it is wandless casting or silent casting, they all know a little about it. It is a skill that only a few wizards with outstanding abilities can master!
To them, Roger's words sounded like: "Want to be a music master? Just learn music theory, remember the timbre of the instrument, grasp the rhythm, and inject emotions into it to increase the tension."

It’s easier said than done!
Seeing their expressions, Roger shook his head and continued, "Don't over-mythologize some things. The power of magic is close to a miracle. It is connected to the mind."

“Believe in magic, believe in yourself, and combine knowledge and practice. Magic will never let down those who love it.”

“If you don’t believe you can do it, then you can’t do it.”

In Roger's opinion, the magic in this world is very special.

It is not like cultivating immortals or martial arts, which depends on innate physique and spiritual roots, nor is it like some kinds of magic, which requires elemental affinity and mental attributes.

What it requires is the power of mind and will.

It's a bit similar to the domineering attitude of "One Piece". If you think you are capable, it can give you miracles. If your will is decadent, you will be beaten up by the new pirates just like some of the shameful Shichibukai whose strength has plummeted!
Just like Snape, after the "savior" appeared, his ambition was gone, and the half-blood prince who was making great strides on the path of magic became an ordinary Potions teacher.

"If you are interested in delving deeper into magic, I suggest you practice the levitation spell more." Roger shifted his gaze from Hermione to Neville and the other one.

"This spell requires you to cast it continuously, which can greatly train your concentration on magic. Once you can cast without a wand, it will become an advanced 'weight-bearing' training. You will learn the silent levitation spell and integrate it into your life. It can also train your ability to manipulate magic in a refined manner."

After answering the questions and giving suggestions, Roger raised his hand and the two books on the table floated back into his bag.

Hermione, who got the answer, thanked Roger thoughtfully, ending the encounter.

The two books Roger put back were a first-year History of Magic textbook and a Muggle World History textbook. In his spare time, he liked to compare the two books with each other, and then refer to his past life memories and the knowledge hinted at in the book by Professor McGonagall.

Finding out how much content has been 'modified' in these two history books is like a puzzle game, which can bring Roger a lot of fun.

"Neville, Hannah, I have a question for you." Roger did not continue reading after his reading was interrupted, but suddenly remembered something.

"After we enter the school, we will be divided into four major colleges. Which one do you want to go to?"

The train is about to arrive at the station, and the sorting ceremony is just around the corner.

This sorting ceremony will have a significant impact on Roger's academic career in the next seven years, so although Roger is 7% to % sure, he still wants to make a final confirmation when the time comes.
