Chapter 9 Basic Magic Theory

...

After leaving Ollivander's Wand Shop, it was already noon.

Professor McGonagall paid for Jerry and Crookshanks to have lunch at the Leaky Cauldron, and then they came to the streets of Diagon Alley again.

"Get smaller quickly!"

Jerry watched Professor McGonagall take out her wand and point it at the large suitcase and the trolley. A blue magical light flashed, and the full suitcase and trolley became only the size of a palm.

.

"Okay, we should go back!"

Professor McGonagall picked up the large suitcase and the trolley and put them into her pockets, then stretched out her arms.

"Okay...ok!"

Jerry was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately and grabbed Professor McGonagall's outstretched arm.

"The attendant appears!"

With a wave of the magic wand, Professor McGonagall and Jerry disappeared from the streets of Diagon Alley.

"Magic is such a magical power!"

Looking at the familiar orphanage room, Jerry couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be envious. When you graduate from Hogwarts, you can easily perform these magics. Of course, the premise is that you study hard!"

Professor McGonagall took the large suitcase and the trolley out of her pocket, and after lifting the shrinking spell, she said to Jerry.

"I will!"

Jerry put down Crookshanks and nodded seriously.

Of course he will learn magic well, because the world he lives in is not a very safe world, and magic is the only power he can master now to protect himself.

In order to survive, he must devote 200% of his energy to learning magic no matter what.

"This is your ticket to Hogwarts. It's on September 1st at King's Cross Station. It's on the ticket. Your dean will drive you there by then. I've already told him in advance that you'll need to

pay attention......"

Compared to Hagrid who just threw a ticket to Harry and left in a hurry, Professor McGonagall was much more careful. Not only did she tell the director of the orphanage to send Jerry off, but she also asked him to take the Hogwarts Express.

During the meeting, we discussed with him any problems that might arise.

After a while, Jerry assured Professor McGonagall with a smile:

"Professor, I have already remembered it. Don't worry, I will get on the Hogwarts Express and go to school on time!"

Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Then see you at the beginning of school, and... Mr. Carmen... I think you are a good fit for Gryffindor!"

After leaving his last words, Professor McGonagall waved her wand and used Apparition, disappearing on the spot.

...

"Reckless Academy?"

Seeing Professor McGonagall disappearing, Jerry couldn't help showing a troubled look on his face.

In fact, when he first knew that this was the world of "Harry Potter", the first ones he excluded were Gryffindor and Slytherin, with Ravenclaw as his first choice, and Hufflepuff second.

After all, his original purpose was to learn magic and improve himself in this world with peace of mind.

However, Gryffindor is a group of reckless men who are all troublemakers, and Slytherin has serious class conflicts. He, an orphan, is not easy to get along with.

Neither academy allowed him to study with peace of mind.

In terms of learning atmosphere, Ravenclaw is definitely the best, with intelligence and agility as the selection criteria. They are all academic masters. They discuss and learn with each other, and they will definitely make rapid progress.

If you can't be assigned to Ravenclaw, it's not bad to be assigned to Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff wizards are generally more honest and kind, and at least they won't interfere with his studies.

However, now that Professor McGonagall seems to admire him very much and wants him to go to Gryffindor, and since he can earn little red stars in this world, it seems that Gryffindor can be considered.

"Forget it, there is still a month left for the branching. Let's learn a few magics first so that we can deal with the car robbers and then think about it slowly!"

After some hesitation, he decided to put this issue aside for now. The most important thing now is to teach himself magic.

Jerry excitedly opened the large suitcase and took out the bag containing the textbooks. Jerry began to take out the magic books one by one and placed them on the bed:

"Standard Spells, Elementary", "History of Magic", "Theory of Magic", "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Fungi", "Magic Potions and Potions", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Dark Magic"

"Self-Defense Guide", a total of eight volumes.

There is only one month until his return, so some textbooks that are not helpful in combat can be discarded first.

After some thought, Jerry put the four books "History of Magic", "Thousands of Magic Herbs and Mushrooms", "Magic Potions and Potions", and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" back into his book bag again.

"History of Magic" talks about the history of the magical world, which can only be read to increase knowledge. "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms" is an introduction to various medicinal herbs.

"Magic Potions and Potions" is very useful. Powerful potions can play a supporting role in battle, but in a month, he can't teach himself how to configure potions, and he doesn't have the materials to make powerful potions.

.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a book explaining various magical creatures. If he goes out on adventures in the future, he may use it, but forget it now.

"Standard Spells, Elementary", "Magic Theory", "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" and "Dark Magic: Self-Defense Guide" were left. Jerry only left "Magic Theory", and the other three books were put together and put aside.

on the table.

For a newbie in magic, Jerry feels that he must first know what magic is and how it works before he can learn the relevant spells.

And "Magic Theory", a book explaining basic theories, is what he needs to study most now.

Picking up "Theory of Magic" with a serious look on his face and sitting on the chair, Jerry took a deep breath and slowly opened the first page.

“Tampering with the deepest secrets—the source of life, the essence of one’s self—must be prepared to bear the most extreme and dangerous consequences.

——The first basic rule of Woflin's magic

..."

Four hours later, Jerry closed "Magic Theory", rubbed his temples, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Hermione Granger is worthy of being a top student of the generation. She is indeed amazing!"

Jerry originally thought that he was also a person who had gone through the college entrance examination, his learning ability was not bad in all aspects, and he had lived a crazy life for more than forty years. His life experience was quite rich, and he should still be able to handle the most basic magic theory.

of.

But the reality is a slap in the face.

As a completely unfamiliar knowledge system, Jerry studied by himself for four hours without the guidance of a teacher, feeling as if he was reading a bible.

It's like a mortal who suddenly gets a secret book that can help him become an immortal. Without the guidance of a master, it's just as difficult to understand it word by word.

That's why he sighed when he thought that Hermione, an eleven-year-old girl, had learned most of the first-grade magic on her own before school started without anyone's guidance.

Maybe Hermione is the kind of prodigy and genius in the field of magic, and he is just a normal ordinary person.

"I just hope that the little red star's refreshing function can be more powerful, otherwise it will be troublesome!"
