Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 38: Evolution of Fire Spells

On Thursday morning, unsurprisingly, the fire in the fireplace burned a little brighter.

Moon didn't have many small wooden sticks left, but fortunately his technique had improved a lot.

From being able to separate less than an inch at first, it can now be separated accurately to five inches.

Not only that, by constantly practicing the action of splitting wood by relying only on the feeling of the knife, Moon's ability to accurately control the magic wand has been greatly improved.

After eating a bowl of hot 'Hagrid Shortbread' in the auditorium that morning, Moon replenished the energy he had lost in the failed attempt to split the wood early in the morning.

The morning's Transfiguration class was still moving forward. Professor McGonagall said that first-year students needed to be proficient in converting objects made of two fixed materials.

Therefore, in order to help the young wizards master transfiguration, she would only pick some simple items. If someone really couldn't master it, she could only deduct points from the corresponding academy.

Professor McGonagall became more strict because she felt that after a month of adaptation, the young wizards had become familiar with the school environment.

The excitement before school starts must now be transformed into studying hard.

From this point of view alone, Moon became a student that Mag admired more.

She knew very well how weak Moon's foundation was before school started.

But now, after only being at Hogwarts for a month, Moon has already completed most of the basic knowledge and can grasp the key points of magic as quickly as Hermione.

Watching Moon easily transform the quill on the table into a pen, and then transform the pen back into a quill, Mag supervised the others more vigorously.

Of course, being able to fulfill the professors' requirements has its advantages and disadvantages.

Professor Flitwick's Charms class just proves this point.

This short professor is very knowledgeable and can always explain each spell in a humorous way.

"Okay, students, last class I gave you an assignment about the evolution of fire spells."

Professor Flitwick rarely mentioned homework at the beginning of class, so when he mentioned homework, Neville, who was sitting next to Moon, was stunned.

"Professor, the homework was assigned the day before yesterday and we haven't had time to do it yet." Ron's voice came from behind.

"Of course, I know full well that I'm asking you to hand it in next week, but today I want to give you some direction because this assignment is not going to be easy."

When Professor Flitwick finished speaking, Moon noticed that Hermione, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly looked up.

"Oh, of course, I suppose you've probably already done it, haven't you, Miss Granger? But I think today's lesson will certainly help you refine that assignment once more."

Hermione never let homework get to her, and she didn't mind having to rewrite it, but Moon was a little disappointed.

He had finished his homework early so that he could have time to make his wand, but now he would probably have to rewrite it.

Moon's disappointment didn't last long, as Professor Flitwick's lecture began.

"Last class we explained the Fire Spell, but it's actually not the most basic fire spell."

As a knowledgeable master of spells, Professor Flitwick gradually unfolded the history of fire magic and stuffed it into the heads of the young wizards.

As one of the first few magics mastered by wizards, fire was initially just a wizard's respect and exploration of the power of nature.

In ancient Egypt, wizards used thoughts, gestures, and chanting to make the flames in front of them burn brighter or move.

This instinctive exploration without a systematic theory is the original form of fire spells.

Later, as the exploration deepened, wizards summed up some spells and gestures, and there were spells such as [Ignite Fire] and [Start Fire].

However, at this time, the fire spell only has the functions of lighting, cooking, and heating, and its power is very limited.

During the time Hogwarts was founded, fire magic was greatly developed. At this time, special techniques for generating high-temperature flames were developed to forge metals and burn down obstacles.

The most typical representative spells are [Burning Flame] and [Thunder Explosion].

Another branch is the continuous development in lighting, heating and cooking.

When Professor Flitwick said this, Ron realized that he had never thought that his mother's skills in the kitchen were also in the history of magic.

"That's right, Mr. Weasley. Cooking fire spells were developed and popularized by great witches like your mother."

Ron's face flushed. He had no idea that the first time he was praised by the professor would be because of his mother who nagged him every day.

"Of course, there are more advanced forms of fire magic, but this requires you to have extremely high talent. Otherwise, you won't be exposed to them at all in seven years of school."

"For example, our Headmaster Dumbledore has mastered more than one advanced fire magic."

Looking at the curious looks on the faces of the young wizards in the audience, Professor Flitwick stopped the lecture at the right time.

Delicious and sweet bait always attracts fish to compete for it. Now the little wizards in the Charms class have been piqued by the bait thrown by Flitwick.

As the recognized greatest wizard of our time, Dumbledore has always been at the center of public opinion.

Listening to the lively discussions among the young wizards, Flitwick nodded with satisfaction. Now he was sure that he would receive perfect homework.

As for Moon, he also felt the need to rewrite it.

The most important thing is what kind of advanced fire magic Dumbledore has mastered, which has become the curiosity of all young wizards.

Professor Flitwick's hook worked. As soon as the morning class ended, the young wizards had a simple meal in the hall and then all went to the library.

They borrowed all the books on fire magic, and because the number of people suddenly increased, Madam Pince had to remind everyone to speak in a lower voice again and again.

"Professor Flitwick's method is old-fashioned, but it really works."

Percy was also in the library and found that the young wizards were reading books about fire magic. He couldn't help but think back to his first grade self.

"Prefect, have you mastered advanced fire magic?"

Hearing Moon's address to him, Percy couldn't help but smile.

"Advanced fire magic is not something a student can master. Just listen to Professor Flitwick's words."

Ron, who was sitting next to him, frowned when he heard this. He didn't show off his academic performance. This was not the Percy he knew.

Also reacting was Hermione, as a first-year student, she had a good relationship with Percy.

Because of this, she also knew that Percy wouldn't lie about this.

"Even if I pass all the exams with excellent grades, I still can't master this kind of advanced magic?"

Hermione felt a sense of helplessness in her heart, but she quickly forced this feeling away.

She will never give up in her studies.

Moon didn't care about what Percy said. What he remembered most clearly was Professor Flitwick's original words.

"To master advanced fire magic, one needs extremely high talent."

How talented is Dumbledore?

This raised a question in Moon's mind.
