The first White Lord of Hogwarts - Chapter 66
“The Levitation Charm is a magic that can make us float.”
Ivan tapped the desk in front of him with his wand, and then the tip of the wand slowly moved upwards, and the desk also rose into the air.
He stopped the desk in the air at a height of one meter, and cast a Levitation Charm on the feather, making it float up little by little.
“This is the Levitation Charm, which has two effects, floating and suspending.”
There is actually no difference between these two words.
Ivan meant that using the Levitation Charm can make an object fly, or it can make an object still in the air.
“There is no flying magic in the wizarding world, but wizards don’t have to worry about falling to their death.
“Because of the existence of the levitation spell, you can always stop yourself in the air and then slowly go up or down.”
So it is actually inaccurate to say that wizards can’t use flying magic.
The existence of the levitation spell allows wizards to easily float in the air at a low altitude.
“Professor, I have a question.
A young Ravenclaw wizard raised her hand. It was Padma Patil, Parvati’s sister.
“Excuse me.”
Flitwick and Ivan were interacting in class, which greatly strengthened the attention of the young wizards.
“If two people cast a levitation spell on each other, can they both fly?”
A lot of young wizards have also thought of this question. Now that someone has raised it, it can answer their doubts.
“In theory, it can be done.
“But it’s very difficult to do it in practice,” said Flitwick.”
“There are two types of levitation spells: one-time levitation and continuous levitation.”Flitwick:”One-time levitation is to cast a spell on an object to make it stay there.”
Then, even if you don’t control it, the object won’t fall down immediately.
But at the same time, you can’t control the object again during this process, unless you cast a levitation spell on it again, or use magic to pull it.
“Continuity means that the suspended object is constantly pulled and moved according to the wizard’s needs.
There is actually a special spell for this kind of movement, called Zombie Floating.
“If two people cast a levitation spell on each other and want to achieve the same effect as flying, it will definitely not be just staying in the air, but continuous control and movement.”
Flitwick drew out his wand and asked Ivan to try it with him.
Ivan naturally would not refuse.
So, a strange scene happened.
When both parties cast a levitation spell on each other, trying to make each other float, they both lost control of the spell at the same time.
“Snapped!”
“”Bang!”
Professor Flitwick fell to the ground from the air, and Ivan was thrown out and hit the wall.
“professor!”
“Ivan!”
There was a commotion in the classroom. They were worried about the safety of the two and were very curious about this out-of-control phenomenon.
Since Ivan came, the professors’ classes were no longer as monotonous as before, and there were many new operations.
Students were curious about this, and even the professors themselves enjoyed it very much. Should we stick to the old rules or innovate?
After discovering that the latter has better teaching effects, professors changed their strategies one by one and chose to try out new teaching concepts in the first grade.
“I’m fine.”
Ivan stood up and saw that Flitwick was not injured either, then said,”I understand, two people can indeed float together if they cast a levitation spell on each other.”
“But when one person is controlling, the other person will inevitably be affected, and thus control the person in front.”
So, it’s like two connected entities that can never be still, and as long as they move, they will fly around in the air.
And so on, the same is true for three or four people.
“Yes.”
Flitwick:”So one person needs to stay still while the other one casts the spell.”
“However, although this can avoid this problem, the height and distance of flight are very limited.”
Because the reaction speed of the levitation spell is too slow and it cannot leave the caster too far.
This makes it impossible for one person to fly with another person.
“So, what if we cast a spell on our clothes and shoes?”
This question was raised by Harry. When Ivan saw Flitwick looking at him, he thought for a moment and replied,”First of all, this kind of floating is not considered flying at all, because it is too slow..”
“Secondly, the quality of clothing needs to be guaranteed, otherwise it will cause harm to the body”
“Third, we have flying brooms and magic carpets, so casting magic on clothes is not very meaningful.”
To sum up, the levitation spell is used for flying, which has many problems such as slow speed, slow response, poor control, and substitutability.
Casting magic on clothes is still relying on external forces, not real flying magic.
“Of course, there is a magical aspect to the levitation spell, and I hope everyone can keep it in mind.”
“That is, when you fall from a high altitude, you can cast this spell at any time without worrying about getting hurt.”
The Levitation spell has a great advantage in this regard, because its spell is to levitate, not to hover.
This means that no matter how fast you fall, as long as you have the Levitation spell, you don’t have to worry about inertia and you won’t be torn apart by a sudden stop.
“Not only that, the levitation spell is a spell for a whole.”
Ivan added:”So even if the object we levitate is a box, the things inside the box will not be damaged.”
In this way, with the cooperation of Ivan and Professor Flitwick, and the self-practice of the little wizards, a spell class on the levitation spell ended.
After class, Ivan chatted with Professor Flitwick for a few more words.
Then he left the classroom with Hermione, Parvati and Neville who stayed behind.
Harry was going to chase Ron, so he couldn’t stay.
“Chasing Ron?”
Ivan was stunned, and Parvati explained:”Because Hermione”
“Hmm?”
Ivan:”What’s wrong with you?”
“It has nothing to do with me!”
Hermione said angrily,”I just corrected the pronunciation problem when he cast the spell, and he got angry! It’s so inexplicable!”
Ivan thought of the scene in the original book.
It’s just that Hermione’s personality should be much better under his training. You can see that she gets along very well with Parvati, Neville, Harry and others.
Except Ron.
Hermione really hates Ron, so she never gives him a good face.
Sure enough, after listening to Parvati and Neville’s description, Ivan knew the cause and effect.
From the perspective of the two, Hermione did nothing.
Ron has poor psychological endurance and is throwing a tantrum. This is purely his own problem.
“I don’t quite understand.”
Neville said:”Isn’t it a great fortune to be in a group with Hermione?”
“Hey, Neville, what do you mean?”
Parvati:”Does being in the same group with me make you feel uncomfortable?”
“No, no…”
Neville knew that Parvati was joking with him, but the shy boy thought about it and said his true thoughts:”Actually, if possible, when I have classes with Hufflepuff in the future, I want to be in the same team with Miss Abbott.”
“Miss Abbott?”
Ivan frowned slightly:”Is there anyone named Abbott in Ravenclaw?”
“.…..”
Suddenly, Ivan noticed that Hermione and Parvati were looking at Neville with a look of astonishment.
“”Okay, Neville!”
Parvati said with a wicked smile,”You have already informed us in advance.”
“There is no Abbott in Charms class, but there is one in Herbology and Defense Against the Dark Arts.”
Hermione also laughed at the side:”Neville is telling us to be smart and not disturb him when he is close to the girl he likes.”
“” Wow!”
Ivan really didn’t expect that Neville, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also fall in love prematurely.
And surprisingly, Neville didn’t refute it.
Although he was blushing after being teased by the two girls, he still insisted on speaking:”I, we met in the History of Magic class.”
“No wonder you always sit far away in History of Magic class.”
Ivan patted Neville on the shoulder. Of course he would support his good brother when he liked someone.
“But Ai Bo…”
Suddenly, Ivan seemed to think of something:”The iron Ai Bo?!”
“What is iron-clad?” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“No…”
Ivan said quickly:”Miss Abbott, are you talking about Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff?”
Oh my god, after all these twists and turns, I’m back again.
I remember that in the original book, Wei and Hannah Abbott got together.
“First grade, there is a second Aibo?”
“Oh, I thought he was a senior.”
Ivan teased Neville and said,”Look at Neville’s temperament, a weak and pitiful boy. I heard that many older sisters like this type.”
Neville almost cried when he heard this.
Parvati and Hermione also said a few words to Ivan, asking him not to bully Neville.
But it’s true.
Although Neville is a little fat, he is very round. Many older sisters like to have such a bullied brother.
“Ivan, Ivan.”
The four of them walked towards the Gryffindor Tower, talking and laughing all the way, but halfway through, Professor McGonagall called them.
“Excuse me, children.”
McGonagall said,”I want to borrow Ivan from you for a while.”
Seeing this, Ivan immediately followed Professor McGonagall and asked,”What’s the matter, professor?”
“Albus is looking for you”
“”Principal?”
Ivan didn’t know why Dumbledore wanted to see him.
Tonight was Halloween Eve. He remembered that during the last night class, Dumbledore had said that he would have two days off so that he could enjoy the atmosphere of Halloween.
But now, Dumbledore came to see him again.
Could it be for something mysterious?
Ivan pondered in his heart, and soon followed McGonagall into the principal’s office:”Albus, I brought Ivan here.”
“Oh, thank you for your hard work, Minerva.”
Dumbledore was still kind and gentle. When he saw Ivan, he apologized and said that he should not disturb Ivan’s happy time.
“Professor, please just tell me what’s going on.” After two months of getting along, Ivan and Dumbledore have become close friends.
In private, they are like close friends regardless of age difference, and never engage in these empty talk.
“Is it because of the mysterious side?”
Ivan said straight to the point. He really couldn’t think of any other reason for Dumbledore to look for him.
In fact, even if Dumbledore didn’t ask, he would tell him about this disappearance.
“Ah…”
Dumbledore sighed:”To protect the wizarding world and bring happiness to future generations, what a wonderful wish.”
“”How did you know that?”
Ivan believed his friends would never talk about it.
“Well…”
Dumbledore smiled and continued to explain:”I am the headmaster, and every Hogwarts headmaster has his assistants.”
“Is it a painting?”
Ivan quickly guessed that Dumbledore had spies in the school. He looked up and looked around at the headmaster’s paintings on the wall.
“It has nothing to do with me.”[]
“I didn’t tell on you, little Ivan.”
“Mysterious side, it seems that you, a little wizard, have great ambitions.”
“The Sorting Hat must be broken. This kid should be in Slytherin.”
“.…..”
The principals were talking about it, some trying to pass the buck, and some curious about what Ivan was going to do.
Ivan ignored them.
Even though the paintings were very lifelike, they were not real people after all.
They were just fragments of the creator’s partial memory. They were good for preserving knowledge, but it was best not to trust them too much when it came to judging the future.
“You remind me of someone…”
Dumbledore looked into Ivan’s eyes and said,”No, to be exact, two people…””
“Let me guess.”
Ivan was not nervous. He moved a chair and sat down calmly opposite Dumbledore:”One of them should be Voldemort, and the other one, Grindelwald?”
“You are half right.”
Dumbledore handed Ivan some candy. Seeing Ivan’s doubts, he did not answer immediately.
“Professor, are you worried that I will become the next Voldemort?”
Ivan said this, but he was not worried at all.
He believed that his soul attribute was extremely high, and Dumbledore had no ill will towards him.
Ivan even felt that even if he went astray in the future, Dumbledore would not kill him.
“how come!”
“I just want to talk to you.”
“You know, an old man over a hundred years old doesn’t have much to do on weekdays. He can only sit here and do nothing. It’s really too boring.”
Seeing Ivan raised his eyebrows, Dumbledore quickly took back the subject:”Okay, okay, little Ivan, you should be more patient. You see, I am over a hundred years old.”
“Professor, you look at most 99”
“”Haha.”
Seeing that Ivan could still joke, Dumbledore also laughed.
Both of them knew that what they just said was a joke. They usually teased each other more than just that.
“So which half did I guess right?”
Ivan asked,”Voldemort, or Grindelwald?”
“You shouldn’t call that man by his name, little Ivan.”
Although Dumbledore said this, he didn’t blame him, but just told him to be careful.
Ivan is not afraid, but others are.
There are many ways to prove courage, but it is best not to choose those that will scare others.
“Not that person.”
Dumbledore sighed and said,”I never thought that you and Tom have any similarities. You are two completely different people.”
“I’m sorry, Professor.”
Ivan said,”I think we should have some similarities, such as both having magical talents and being very handsome?”
“Hahahaha…”
Dumbledore was amused by Ivan, but the old man had to admit that Ivan’s appearance was really good.
“Tom’s talent is excellent, but compared to you, little Ivan, he is still a little behind.”
Dumbledore never thought that Ivan would be the next Voldemort.
Tom Riddle was the product of a love potion. He had extraordinary magical talent, but his heart was already twisted.
Voldemort did not understand love, did not know how to love, and did not believe in love.
Dumbledore admitted that he had made serious mistakes in Voldemort’s education.
Voldemort longed for love, but he failed to discover this.
If Dumbledore could have discovered it earlier, Voldemort might not have taken that path, at least he would not be as crazy as he is now.
“Ivan, do you know what the most powerful magic in the world is?”
“It is love, love is the most powerful magic in the world”
“And you, Ivan.”
Dumbledore:”You know what love is.”
“……”
Ivan admitted that love does contain unimaginable magic.
But isn’t what Dumbledore said a bit too corny?
