Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 251: Traces Revealing Spell

Hearing that someone was stealing, the young wizards in the club all gathered around.

I saw that the small green bottle that was originally placed on the operating table had disappeared, and all the leaves of the snail grass pot had been cut open.

Bernard is about to graduate this year, and he has already negotiated employment with the company that makes flying brooms.

Of course, that assumes his new glue can improve the safety of broomsticks.

To this end, Bernard had to optimize the glue formula again and again. Now his experiment has made great progress, but he did not expect that the snail grass was destroyed.

"It looks like the wound only appeared these past two days. Did anyone come to the club classroom over the weekend?"

Someone observed the scars on the leaves and then looked around at the people around them.

The main raw material for Bernard to make glue is the juice from the leaves of snail grass.

In the past, he would collect the juice by carefully cutting a small hole in the leaves and letting the juice flow out slowly.

This way of collecting can not only obtain materials, but also allow the plants to repair themselves without causing major damage.

But the thieves obviously thought this collection method was too slow, so they cut all the leaves.

Seeing the plants he had worked hard to grow for three years suffer, Bernard was obviously a little panicked and his eyes turned red.

The students around shook their heads, only Cedric stood up.

"I came to collect spore powder on Saturday, but the snail grass was not damaged at that time."

Moon also testified that he and Cedric were making the Little Living Hell Potion together on Saturday and did not notice anything unusual in the classroom.

The other students also explained until Professor Sprout arrived.

After figuring out what had happened, Sprout first comforted Bernard, then took out his wand and cast a spell on the floor around the snail grass.

【Traces Revealed】

This is a spell that can detect and track. It can search and lock onto the magical traces left by a specific target.

These traces may be footprints left by the target as it moves, residual energy fluctuations generated when using magic, or the special scent emitted by magical items related to the target.

After the spell was cast, many pale white footprints appeared on the floor.

Some just passed by briefly, while others stayed nearby.

The footprints of one person were very obvious, with the toes corresponding to the operating table, and there were many tiny displacements, as if he was doing research on snail grass.

"This should be an adult wizard."

Seeing the size of the footprints, some of the little wizards around spoke up.

"Yes, he should be at least a seventh-grade student."

After Sprout discovered this unusual footprint, he cast a [Trace Reveal] on it.

"He's coming this way!"

Seeing the pale white footprints leaving the operating table and heading towards the back of the classroom, the young wizards all made way.

"It's the Sleeping Face Fungus."

Looking at where the footprints stopped, Cedric quickly put on a mask and walked out.

He was not worried about the sleepy face mushroom being destroyed. Unlike the snail grass which grew extremely slowly, the sleepy face mushroom grew very fast.

There are now more than twenty pots, but most of them have been taken away by Professor Sprout.

"The sleeping fungus is fine, but it seems like two bottles of spore powder are missing."

Cedric counted carefully twice before looking at Professor Sprout in a panic.

"Oh no, this stuff is much more harmful than glue."

Sprout muttered something, then cast the spell again to see where the footprints went.

After leaving the classroom, the footprints walked towards the castle gate, and as soon as they left the castle, the footprints disappeared.

"[Apparition]? Could it be a wizard outside the school?"

Sprout thought about it and was a little unsure, so he arranged for the students to return to the classroom first, while she went to find the headmaster Dumbledore.

After returning to the club classroom, Moon saw Senior Bernard trying to use a spell to repair the snail grass, but the effect was not very obvious. As a magical plant, the snail grass itself carries its own unique magic, and using the [Growth Spell] or [Repair Spell] is unlikely to be effective.

Watching Bernard use all his strength to cast the [Growth Spell], the broken part of the snail grass showed signs of healing, and the sixth-grade Molina also took out her wand to help.

As members of the Christmas Cactus Club, most of the magic they master is related to plants.

But there are only two senior students who can use the spell to repair the plants.

Seeing Moon also took out his wand and prepared to walk over, Cedric subconsciously reached out to stop him.

"Don't go over there. That's not a Growth Spell a beginner can cast. Let's wait for the professor to come back."

Cedric had practiced dueling with Moon in the small classroom on the second floor, and he knew that Moon was very talented in spells.

But the current situation is not something a first-year wizard can participate in.

"Don't worry, I still have some confidence."

After Moon finished speaking, he slowly approached Bernard's operating table.

His confidence extended beyond spells; last week he had already obtained thirty doses of plant growth potion from Snape.

As long as Moon takes out a drop, the plants can grow quickly for a year.

Although the growth cycle of snail grass is slow, it cannot withstand the number of potions that Moon has.

Of course, Moon is not planning to use the growth potion at this stage. After all, it is a magic potion prepared for the spirit tree to break the curse.

In addition, Moon's research on growth magic is more in-depth than most students.

As early as when he first joined the club, Moon's first research object was the application of growth magic.

For this purpose, he even went to consult Professor Flitwick, and later obtained a banned book on transformation spells.

When Moon first started to modify spells, he tried plant growth magic.

"No"

Seeing Moon approaching, Bernard was about to speak out to stop him, but unexpectedly, a [Growth Spell] had already fallen on the leaves of the snail grass.

quick! It's so fast!
This is what Bernard is thinking now.

From waving the staff, to chanting the spell, to casting the curse.

Bernard only had time to say one word before Moon's spell was unleashed.

This spell casting speed was the fastest Bernard had ever seen among his students.

Even many seventh-grade students like him can't do it.

Not only him, but also Molina who was casting a spell next to him was startled.

She was trying hard to heal the wound on the leaf, but the sudden spell made her hands tremble unconsciously, and she almost lost her grip on the wand.

Cedric was even more shocked. It had only been over a month since his duel with Moon, but Moon's spell-casting speed had already far exceeded what it was before.

If the duel continued at this pace, he would probably not last more than ten minutes in Moon's hands.

"Have you noticed that Moon's spell seems to be more effective?"

A fourth-year club member nearby whispered something, and the other members all looked at the blade where Moon's wand was pointing.

Because Bernard had been casting spells in the classroom, the wounds on the leaves he repaired had healed and the juice no longer flowed.

Molina had just come in, and the wound from the leaves she had cast a spell on was only half healed.

Moon's spell not only healed the wound on the leaf, but also caused some new green tissue to grow.

"I told you that you have a better magical talent with herbs and plants, but Flitwick didn't believe me!"

At this time, Professor Sprout had just returned. She just took a look at the current situation of the snail grass and unconsciously praised Moon.

The students next to him all looked strange after hearing this.

Isn't this a better spell talent?
