Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 61 The spell is just a means
In response to Moon's problem, Professor Sprout gave his own method.

Fertilizing and growing potions.

But neither of these met Moon's needs.

The prerequisite for increasing yields through fertilization is to have a large area of ​​land and sufficient time.

But Xilin is about to face war, and the land, crops, and even labor will definitely be destroyed, and time is something that cannot be possessed.

As for the growth potion, it is absolutely not something that ordinary plants can absorb.

Perhaps growth potions could be used to cultivate large magical plants, but using them to grow food would not allow the crops to absorb them, and the potions would not be easy to make.

"Professor, is there no other way?"

Moon asked, still unwilling to give up.

"If we're only talking about plant growth magic, there are indeed only these two, but as for spells..."

Sprout thought for a moment before speaking.

"In addition to the [Expansion Charm], there's also a [Growth Charm] and [Rapid Enlargement Charm]. But if you want to know the specific differences between them, you'll have to ask Professor Flitwick."

"Okay, I understand, Professor."

After getting the answer, Moon wanted to go to the library to find some information, but Sprout stopped him again.

"Wait, Moon, are you sure you want to study this magic that can amplify or accelerate the growth of plants?"

"That's what it seems now."

Seeing that Professor Sprout was still a little worried, Moon answered sincerely.

"You might want to reconsider this. Molina's incense and Cedric's sleepy mushroom powder are both excellent. There's absolutely no need for you to research more basic things like this."

In Sprout's opinion, Moon's choice of direction was not what she liked.

When it comes to cultivating students, she is actually very happy to be someone who supports them, especially hoping that they can achieve greater success based on her research.

Moon's choice was completely the opposite.

If her chosen one is the hardworking gardener, then what Moon wants to study is the person who cultivates the field.

Compared with other people's research, the path chosen by Moon is more basic, but also more difficult.

"Professor, I still want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll come back to study herbal plants. I'm only eleven years old anyway."

"Oh Well."

Sprout smiled and shook his head.

Moon's answer made the professor of herbal medicine unable to refuse, because at the age of eleven, there are indeed many opportunities for trial and error, especially for a student like Moon who is very proactive.

Moon didn't know what Sprout was thinking. After leaving the club, he went straight into the library.

Although he had been at Hogwarts for two months, Moon didn't know where Professor Flitwick's office was.

But he was not in a hurry to ask now, since he had been studying at Hogwarts.

Especially influenced by the Herbal Club, Moon knew that if he didn't have a basic understanding of some things, he would not be able to discover more accurate problems.

Just like those seniors who pestered Sprout every day, they only knew how to ask accurate questions after they had studied herbs in depth.

So Moon first found several related spell books and some magical plant books in the library.

It was not until the Charms class on Tuesday afternoon was over that Moon stopped Professor Flitwick who was about to leave with his own questions.

"Mr. Scarlett, I have to say you have great potential as a duelist."

Before Moon could ask his own question, Professor Flitwick began to praise him.

"Does anyone in your family engage in wizard dueling?"

Seeing Moon standing there in a daze, Flitwick curiously asked the question in his mind. "Probably not."

Although he didn't know what a wizard duel was, Moon knew very well that his family were ordinary people.

"Really? That's a bit strange. After I finished talking about the repair spell, you cast it so quickly and accurately. Even Miss Granger can't cast it as fast as you."

Professor Flitwick was referring to Moon's outstanding performance in class.

Just after Flitwick finished explaining the spell, Moon subconsciously pulled out his wand and repaired the broken pencil with a wave of his hand.

The whole movement was smooth and flowing, without any delay.

This is also the reason why Flitwick thinks Moon has the potential to be a duelist.

"Mr. Scarlett, if, I mean if, you want to achieve good results in the Wizard Duel Tournament in the future, you must come to me. I will tell you all my experience!"

Flitwick said as he stood back on the textbook and patted Moon on the shoulder. He really admired the way Moon cast the spell.

"Professor, we can talk about the Duelist later. I want to ask you some other questions now."

Moon didn't want to study how to duel with wizards for the time being. In his opinion, the most important thing to do was to feed his family.

"Oh, that's a shame, but I'd still love to hear your question."

"[Expansion Spell], [Growth Spell], [Rapid Enlargement Spell] can indeed cause the objects under the spell to change, but there are differences between them."

Professor Flitwick has a deep understanding of spells and can give corresponding answers to all the questions raised by Moon.

And finally, in order to make it easier for Moon to understand, he also made a horizontal comparison of these spells.

"The [Expansion Spell] doesn't actually change the true size of an object. It achieves the magnification effect by expanding the gaps between the material structure."

"As for the Growth Spell, it mainly acts on plants and functions like a powerful catalyst."

"The last spell, [Rapid Enlargement], will make an object grow in size in a short period of time, but it will also destroy the object's internal structure. It's a very dangerous spell."

After Flitwick finished explaining the three spells, he adjusted his glasses on his nose.

"Sir, do you remember what I said in the first Charms class?"

After hearing Flitwick's question, Moon thought about it for a moment and roughly guessed what the other party was saying.

So he blurted out.

"If you don't know what you want, you'll never know what spell to learn."

"Yes, it seems that what Miss Granger said about your excellent memory is actually true!"

Moon was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Hermione had said this to Flitwick.

"Okay, now that you know this, you should understand that the spell is just a means. Before that, you must tell me what you want."

Flitwick always found the essence of the problem, and his reminder made Moon jump out of the vicious circle of studying spells.

"I want to make a food crop that can grow quickly in a short period of time so that more people can have enough food."

Hearing Moon's request, Flitwick fell into deep thought.

"Your request is quite strange. It reminds me of the court wizards in the Middle Ages."

"Court wizard?"

Moon was surprised by this statement which was only one word away.

"Yes, some wizards at that time chose to be loyal to the king, and they were also asked to solve the problem of food."

"Did they solve it?"

"Of course not, otherwise how could they be hunted down?"
