Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 248: Qi Luo's Changes

After solving the problem of hatching the dragon eggs, Moon asked Hagrid about Squeak.

Especially the specific location where the tree where Zhizhi lived was cut down.

Moon guessed that Zhizhi's parents would take some time to go back and see their child.

Even though their children are very noisy, they don't look like a proper snowy owl at all.

"Oh, that won't work. That place is deep in the forbidden forest. You can't go in there."

Hagrid originally wanted to draw a map for Moon, but when he heard that Moon planned to go in alone to find the parents of the little snowy owl, he decisively rejected his request.

"Is that so? Well, it seems I'll have to look in the castle's owlery first."

Moon was also familiar with the school rules of Hogwarts, especially the fact that Dumbledore had said at the beginning of the school year that students were not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest.

However, after getting along with Moon and Bengbeng, Zhizhi has gradually forgotten about looking for his parents.

When it learned that Bong was going to live with Hagrid for a while, it automatically flew to the beam of Hagrid's hut and took a nap.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of these two little guys for you, and there will definitely be no mistakes."

Hagrid was also very happy, as it was rarely so lively here.

After saying goodbye to Hagrid, the four little wizards returned to the castle.

Moon planned to go to the small classroom on the second floor of the castle to practice spells.

The last time he fought with Voldemort, he discovered that the coordination between his left and right hands was not very good. He needed to find out the problem and practice more.

Hermione took Harry and Ron back to review their lessons.

"Hermione, the exams are still hundreds of years away. There's no need to worry."

"Fifteen weeks," Hermione retorted.

"For Nicolas Flamel, this was but a blink of an eye."

"But we're not six hundred years old, and why do you need to review? Don't you already know everything?"

Ron didn't understand Hermione's behavior at all. In his opinion, reviewing should be done two days before the exam.

"Why should I review? Are you crazy? Did you know that we have to pass these tests to get into the second grade?"

Listening to Hermione chattering in front, Moon, who was walking behind, finally understood why the little witch's wizard bar was growing so fast.

No, Moon had known this for a long time, but he didn't expect Hermione to be so motivated to study.

Harry's wizard bar was now three-quarters full, a result of his growth after the last Quidditch match.

As for Ron, his wizard bar is now only one-third of the size. Although there has been some improvement, it is not much. This is almost the bottom among the first-year wizards.

As for Moon, he didn't have the Old Willow Wand now, and the length of the wizard bar was just over two squares.

This should be the level of an excellent third-grade student.

Of course, this level of strength is inseparable from Moon's repeated magic battles in another world and various extreme magic exercises.

For example, the training with Moon and the giant squid, the spell training according to the plan formulated by Professor Flitwick, that peculiar memory ability, and the intake of knowledge from various forbidden books.

All these have made Moon's strength grow far beyond others, and his foundation is also very solid.

"Why don't you just listen to Hermione and go back to review your lessons."

Moon had never been that concerned about Harry and the others' studies before.

The same is true for the magical power displayed by the wizard bar.

He knew that the hobbies of young wizards had a lot to do with their growth in strength, and Ron simply hadn't discovered the relevant hobbies.

But now it's different. After Harry received the invisibility cloak from Dumbledore, Moon guessed that the white-bearded headmaster must have some special arrangements for Harry.

Just like himself, after being arranged by Dumbledore to take a divination test, he fought one battle after another in another world.

Moon didn't know whether this was a difficulty he was destined to encounter or whether Dumbledore had foreseen something in advance.

Now Harry is likely to encounter various dangers. Thinking of this, Moon naturally hopes that his friend's strength can be improved quickly.

"No way, in the eyes of you two, there is nothing else besides studying?"

Ron still didn't want to, but Harry listened to what Moon said.

He nodded and followed Hermione.

After seeing this sudden situation, Ron also quickly ran forward two steps.

"Well, don't say I didn't accompany you. Let's learn this shackle and wear it together." After returning to the castle with the three of them, Moon found Filch to borrow the key and went to the small classroom on the second floor alone.

The last time he fought against Voldemort, Moon tried to use both hands to cast the spell in order to quickly end the battle.

The skilled right hand controlled the old willow wand and cast a silent spell.

In his uncommon left hand, he held the wand he had bought from Ollivanders and cast ordinary spells.

But during the battle, Moon discovered that this method was not as fast as casting a silent spell with one hand.

Fortunately, the bat had been severely injured at that time, so Moon just practiced and discovered many problems.

The first is the issue of magical conflict.

Unspoken spells require intense concentration and extreme restraint of mental control, whereas regular spells usually require the pronunciation of the spell and the release of a wand gesture.

Casting two spells at the same time can easily cause conflicts.

Whether it is the distribution of magic power or the interference of actions, it will make it difficult for the spell to achieve the desired effect.

The second is the excessive consumption of mental energy.

Controlling two wands simultaneously is by no means a one plus one effect, and it can be extremely distracting to the spellcaster.

However, human mental strength is limited. If the attention is dispersed, it will lead to insufficient control over the details of each spell.

The drain on mental energy is also enormous, and as the battle continues, mental fatigue accumulates rapidly.

This will affect the caster's reaction speed and thinking, and may also cause errors in judgment and action in battle.

These problems were all summarized by Moon in actual combat, and now he needs to solve them one by one.

The first step to resolve magical conflicts is to strengthen the training of the left hand.

Using the [Magic Perception Training] method learned from Professor Snape, he tried again with his left hand.

Moon's ability to cast spells quickly with his right hand and to cast silent spells so early has a lot to do with this training method.

Use your left hand to cast the [Floating Spell] on the terracotta figurine and practice it, then slowly add the silent spell with your right hand.

This kind of practice takes a lot of time, but the results are very good.

As for the problem of excessive consumption of mental power, the only way is to find ways to improve mental power.

In fact, Moon, who has already begun to study brain magic, has mental power far exceeding that of other young wizards.

In particular, Professor Flitwick had developed a detailed training plan for Moon.

Among them is a suggestion about the expected effect of spells, the quality and strength of spell effects.

This contains the spell master's summary of the mental training methods.

With the specific execution method, all Moon needs to do is practice continuously and gradually increase the difficulty of the spell.

In the next few days, Moon spent twice as much time in the spell classroom.

Of course, Moon would also take time to help look for Zhizhi's parents in the castle.

But there has been no harvest.

However, on Wednesday, during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Moon discovered that Professor Quirrell seemed to have changed a lot.

He looked increasingly paler and thinner, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

Not only did his clothes smell of garlic, but they also smelled of wood.

Moon was very familiar with wood carvings, and even though Quirrell had been sitting on the podium, he could still smell the subtle difference.

Not only that, Moon also noticed that Professor Quirrell's eyes had changed when he looked at him.

With a little bit of appreciation, but more of hatred.

"Did I offend this professor in some way?"

Moon looked at the book and thought about the problem.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Quirrell's class style has returned to reading from textbooks, which is boring and difficult.

He doesn't assign any homework, but even so, the professor seems to be very busy every day.
