Chapter 85 84. My floating spell is the best
Aberforth looks very different from his brother, not only has a more irritable personality, but also a very dirty old man.
There is always a greasy smell in his bar, and the tables, chairs and benches are also a little sticky, as if a guest has accidentally spilled beer and hasn't been wiped clean.
But he really doesn't need to care about the hygiene of his shop, anyway, he doesn't rely on the income of this bar to survive, and no matter how clean he cleans, the business will definitely not be the same as in another bar in Hogsmeade. The three broom bars are good.
After all, one is Ms. Rosmerta, who still has a charming charm, and many Hogwarts castle boys are fascinated in private, and the other is a dirty, unshaven, eccentric old man. Everyone knows which one to go to.
Aberforth served Jon a glass of butterbeer, and by the way, helped him make a sandwich made of freshly fried, hot eggs and ham at the bar.
Although the wine glass containing the butter beer looked very doubtful, whether its owner had cleaned it since he got it, Jon still picked up the wine glass and drank more than half of it.
This is not only because he walked more than half a circle in Hogwarts castle today, and then climbed the stairs along the secret passage for more than ten minutes, and had a long conversation with Aberforth when he arrived at the Pig's Head Bar. Just had a sip of water.
It's because during the two months in the castle, he didn't touch any drink with a slight taste except white water. The butter beer was a bit too sweet for Jon's taste, and he was not very good in the carriage. He likes to drink, but now he directly drank more than half of the glass.
The freshly baked sandwiches are also delicious. Regardless of Aberforth's cooking skills, this is the first warm food Jon has eaten during this period of time. The three meals a day in the castle are not dry. The bread was cold, hard bacon.
Looking at Jon who was devouring, Aberforth waited for him to drink all the butter beer left in the wooden cup in the second sip, and swallowed the sandwich he hadn't chewed a few times before speaking.
"I will help you with the rooster. There is no way to replace it with other things. You must have a real rooster to be effective against the basilisk. But there is one thing that needs to be figured out. How can you not attract attention? Bring the chicken into that castle? And make sure it doesn't squawk when it's not in use."
Jon took another bite of the sandwich in his hand, thinking about it.
"Can this problem be solved with Transfiguration?"
Aberforth was slightly taken aback.
"You mean turn the chicken into a dead thing that can't move, and then untransform it when you need to use it?"
"Yes." Jon nodded and said, "How long can your Transfiguration last at most?"
"Transformation from living things to dead things and from dead things to living things can be regarded as relatively difficult skills in Transfiguration." Aberforth said it was difficult, without showing any embarrassment on his face, "But if I If you use it, if you want, I can make the transformation time of that chicken last for more than a week."
After all, he is from the Dumbledore family, and he is still an old wizard who has lived for more than a hundred years. Whether it is spells or transformations, his magical attainments far surpass more than 95% of wizards in the magic world.
"It's up to you to cast a spell on the rooster at that time, try to turn it into a small, portable and unobtrusive thing, and then I can directly undo the transfiguration attached to it when I need it, It shouldn't require any advanced deformation skills to remove the deformation."
"But as I said before, the rooster is easy to deal with, but if it's just that, there's a high probability that it won't be able to kill the basilisk." Aberforth sat opposite Jon and said solemnly, " You have to do a good job of supporting the rooster by the side, not only to protect it from being killed, but also to control the movement of the basilisk so that it cannot escape quickly."
After Jon finished eating the sandwich, he habitually touched the wand in his hand and said.
"Although the basilisk has high magic resistance, it doesn't mean that all spells won't work on it, right?"
"Its defense is actually far from the strength of dragon skin, but even if there are indeed many spells that can do this, can you use them?" Aberforth looked at Jon, he was not What to ridicule, but very serious question.
Jon shook his head, and truthfully said all the spells he knew now.
"Petrification, Cleansing, Wand Illuminating, Levitating, Unlocking, Restoring, Cutting, Softening, and Locking (the last six spells are included in the first-grade textbook "Standard Spells: Elementary"). "
To be honest, since Jon has only been in contact with magic for a year, it is beyond Aberforth's expectations that he can learn so many spells, and among them, the petrification spell can be regarded as a medium-difficulty spell. Students can't touch it at all, and Jon is already very talented if he can learn it.
"When I was in the carriage, I focused most of my energy on how to master the Levitation spell, so I was a little relaxed about learning other spells, otherwise I would definitely have learned some more useful spells."
Hearing Jon's explanation, Aberforth frowned slightly.
"Proficient in the floating spell? Is this the most proficient spell you have mastered?"
It can be seen that Aberforth obviously thinks that wasting time on spells like the Levitation Curse is purely mentally ill. Jon didn't give any verbal explanations, but directly demonstrated it to him with practical actions. The "floating spell" that I know.
"Wingardim Leviosa."
The ring was worn around his neck when he entered the secret passage, and after Jon chanted the spell, he flew up in front of Aberforth!
Seeing that Jon, who just uttered a levitation spell with the wrong pronunciation of a donkey's head and a horse's mouth, just flew up without any foreign objects, Aberforth's eyes were already as big as cow eggs.
It was only at this time that he realized that the floating spell he understood and the "floating spell" that Jon learned to use could be said to be two kinds of magic.
After showing what he knows now, Jon lifted the effect of the "Levitation Curse". He didn't want to show off, but at this time he had better explain everything he knew, so that Ah Buforth can determine which areas he needs to strengthen according to his ability.
