Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 114: Bouncing Confidence

Hermione would never admit failure, even in a simple color-changing exercise.

In order to get the purest tricolor, Hermione went to the library immediately after the Transfiguration class.

"I'm going to look for a feasible method for multiple color-changing magic. Can I go to the spell practice room this afternoon to experiment?"

"of course."

Moon would never refuse Hermione's intelligence and eagerness to learn.

Because he himself often encountered problems and needed to consult the knowledgeable Hermione.

On Thursday afternoon, there was a class that all the students enjoyed.

Flying lessons.

During this outdoor class, Hermione was also studying the book on "Multiple Color Changing Magic" that she had borrowed from the library at noon.

Many of her classmates would fly over her head on brooms, which made it difficult for her to concentrate on reading.

So the little witch showed an unhappy expression.

The other person who was unhappy was Malfoy, and the reason was of course because of Harry who was flying at the highest altitude.

As for the little wizards like Moon, the initial excitement of the flying class was gone.

After entering winter, the words high altitude and high speed become cold and freezing.

Even though they have learned to control their broomsticks, the little wizards still like to fly slowly at low altitudes.

Harry was alone, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being high in the air.

In stark contrast to him is Neville.

The young wizard, who had an accident during flying lessons, finally managed to fly his broom last week after more than two months of practice.

Now he can also do some simple gliding on his broomstick.

However, because of the psychological trauma he had from his first time riding a flying broom, Neville's flying altitude was the lowest among all the young wizards.

Moon actually wanted to fly higher, but the broom provided by the school was of poor quality.

If the broom is more than ten feet long, it will start to wobble.

This forced Moon to stay in the low-flying team.

After the flying lesson on Thursday, there are no other classes.

After returning the broom to Madam Hooch, Hermione hurried over.

"I found a good method that should work."

On the way to the spell practice classroom, Hermione explained the method she found in the library.

"[Layered Color-Changing Magic]? Is that the name?"

"Yes, although this magic is a bit clumsy, it should be the most suitable for us."

After Hermione explained it, Moon knew why Hermione said it was a stupid idea.

[Layered Color-Changing Magic] is to perform a color-changing spell on the object of the spell, and then cast a color-changing spell of another color on the specific area to cover it until the requirement is met.

"It's like putting clothes on a terracotta warrior."

Moon thought for a moment and gave an appropriate example.

"That's right. I just need to give the cat figurine a completely black base color, and then use yellow and white color-changing magic on different parts. Then I can get a real calico cat."

"Then this should be relatively simple, right? Is it necessary to practice more?"

Moon didn't think that such a simple magic would make Hermione come to the classroom to practice.

"Actually, this method sounds stupid, but it also has its difficulties."

Seeing that Moon was confused, Hermione explained the key points she had read in the book.

"The first layer of layered color-changing magic is very simple, but if you want to perform the second layer of color-changing magic based on the first layer, you must ensure that the first layer of the spell is very stable." After hearing Hermione's explanation, Moon understood it instantly.

When performing this magic, the first layer of color-changing technique is equivalent to the foundation, and it must be ensured to be stable enough.

This ensures that multiple layers of color change are applied on top of the first layer.

When Moon and Hermione arrived on the second floor, Bengbeng had already arrived here first.

Seeing that Mrs. Loris was also holding a small "Bengbeng" in her arms, Moon just smiled and then cast a [Smooth Fur] on each of the two little guys.

Seeing the two little pets moaning in comfort, Moon turned and walked into the classroom to start researching the experiment [Layered Color Changing Magic].

Although Hermione has just explained the difficulty of this magic, but after the experiment.

Moon finally understood how important a stable first layer of color-changing technique was.

In three consecutive experiments, Hermione's magic failed unsurprisingly when she cast the second layer of color-changing magic.

The cat figurine also returned to its original mud color.

"How about I give it a try?"

While Hermione was conducting her experiments, Moon finished reading the book she had borrowed from the library.

Magic Painting: Make Your Home Warmer

This is a book that introduces magical painting decoration in the interior. The author is a wizard who teaches advanced magical painting classes.

"Okay, so are you going to use the terracotta cat or your Niffler?"

"Smell it. It has fewer colors after all."

The Nifflers only come in two colors: black and flesh-colored, and Moon has no plans to add other colors.

So he just pulled a Niffler out of his pocket and started working his magic.

Because he didn't have a good grasp of the magic of color-changing, the magic effect Moon cast each time was only very small.

Sniff, who was only the size of a palm, used the color-changing technique three times before the entire body of the terracotta figurine turned black.

Bengbeng, who was originally playing with Mrs. Loris in the distance, showed a look of disgust after seeing the black pottery figurine in Moon's hand.

Bengbeng was actually very happy these two days, but also a little distressed.

It was happy because it received three small hand warmers.

It was distressed because it discovered that there were three more terracotta figurines of the same image on Moon's body.

Last night, after Moon explained several times that this was not another Sniff but a Bengbeng, the little guy returned to the tree nest to sleep in doubt.

Bengbeng's feeling of uneasiness has continued to this day.

It wasn't until it saw the Niffler in Moon's hand turned into a black lump that it instantly became confident.

"Chichi~" (mine is still the best looking~)

"Meow~" (Yes, that one looks like a mouse.)
Moon ignored the two pets' idle chatter. After performing the first layer of color-changing magic, he discovered the instability of the magic.

"You mean after performing the color change spell multiple times, the places where these magical connections are made are very unstable?"

After Moon finished explaining, Hermione also picked up the pitch-black Niffler figurine and began to observe it.

But she saw nothing.

But seeing Moon's confident look and the experience he had just experienced after his failure, she knew that what Moon said made sense.

To cast the first level of color change on the cat figurine, Hermione needed to recite the spell five times.

This resulted in more connections on her first level of color-changing technique, which was the main reason why she couldn't perform the second level of color-changing technique.

"It seems the best way is to perform a successful color change spell all at once."

"This way, the magic structure of the first layer will definitely be very stable."
