Chapter 64 References and Quotations
After returning to the Gryffindor common room, Albert made himself a cup of milk tea and asked his roommates again if they wanted to go to the library to do homework for the Charms class. After being rejected again, he packed his schoolbag and went to the Gryffindor common room. The three of them waved goodbye and went to the library.
There are not many people in the library during class time. Albert walked into the library and immediately saw Shanna who was flipping through books looking for information. He walked towards the girl, gently pulled up the chair and sat down, then whispered: "I hope I'm not late?"
Albert came on time, it was just 2 o'clock.
"No, the homework in Charms class is a bit difficult. I didn't find much useful information." There were a few books next to Shanna. She had come half an hour early, but she still couldn't find any useful information. .
Albert flipped through several thick books on the table and couldn't help but shake his head. He directly called Shanna to go to Area C and look for the books he needed from the fifth row of bookshelves.
By the way, the "Selected Spells of the Nineteenth Century" that I borrowed last time has not been returned yet.
However, I have almost finished reading "Selected Spells of the Nineteenth Century", and I should finish it as soon as possible. It would be better to bring it, after all, the time to borrow the book is coming soon.
Albert took out the "Achievements of Magic" he found from the bookshelf and handed it to Shanna next to him. The young witch looked at the book that Albert handed to her in astonishment.
Soon, Albert took out the "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century" that he was looking for, and returned to the desk with Shanna.
"How do you know that this book contains what we are looking for?" Shanna was surprised to find that the two books that Albert picked contained the information they were looking for, and then she felt depressed again. What was the point of trying so hard to find the information? .
"The book "Achievements in Spells" is actually very useful, at least when it comes to written exams." Albert explained, "The Luminous Spell was invented in the eighteenth century, so it should be included in "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century" Relevant information can be found.”
"Your mind is so good, why didn't you go to Ravenclaw?" Zannah asked doubtfully.
"Who knows?" Albert shrugged and said softly, "Maybe the Sorting Hat thinks I will be better off in Gryffindor."
After finding the information, the next step is actually very simple, that is, excerpting the appropriate sentences:
For example, the Luminous Spell was invented in the 18th century (1772) by a witch named Levina Monk Stanley, who was the Mute in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.
The discovery process of the wand glowing spell: One day, while searching for a lost quill in a dusty corner, Levina lit up the end of her wand, which surprised her colleagues. They all thought the spell was very interesting. useful and record it...
A paragraph of Barabara's text is just an excerpt anyway.
For some reason, Albert suddenly missed the copy and paste function on the computer, and he didn’t know if magic could do this.
If you can, it will be much easier to write papers in the future.
"well!"
Albert sighed softly. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was distracted and actually wrote the wrong word. He couldn't help but feel a little entangled.
He crossed out the wrong words, dipped his quill in the ink bottle, and continued copying. In fact, the content of the paper is very simple. I simply copied "The Achievements of Magic" and "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century", and then wrote down some of the problems I encountered when practicing the Luminous Spell, and then wrote Ways to solve puzzles.
“What’s wrong with you?” Albert asked confused.
“You…” Zannah pointed at the parchment.
"Want to see it?" Albert didn't mind and handed the parchment directly to Shanna, while he flipped through the contents of the extinguishing curse. The extinguishing curse was not in "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century". However, Albert still found relevant records in "The Achievements of Magic", then found relevant books from the bookshelf and continued to copy them.
Shanna looked at her half-written article, and then at Albert's neatly planned paper, and suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.
It turns out that the paper can still be written like this!
Shanna also knew that most of the content in this paper was copied from the book, but so what.
Albert said this is called borrowing or quoting.
If you squeeze it by yourself, you probably won’t be able to squeeze out a 3-inch paper.
It took Albert one and a half hours to finish writing this paper on the wand's glowing spell and extinguishing spell.
Although half of the paper was copied, many of it was based on the various problems Albert encountered when he was learning spells and his solutions to them. The final summary is Albert's in-depth exploration of spells. For example, you can make the light from a certain end of the wand leave the wand, store the light of the glowing spell, and other cool operations. Or, the weird idea of controlling the lights around you using a quenching spell.
Then… combine the two to make a deluminator.
Phew, this is the idea of a magic lamp. If the extinguishing spell and the glowing spell can be used to create a magic lamp with the effect of a Muggle electric lamp, wizards will no longer need to use oil lamps!
These are the last thoughts left, they are just some ideas. Albert wrote them on the paper because he actually wanted to help him complete it with the help of Professor Flitwick.
After all, Professor Flitwick is an expert in charms, and perhaps the ingenuity in this area could attract his interest.
The mission of the magic lamp has not been completed yet!
"How about?" After Albert waited for the ink on the parchment to dry, he used the copying spell to make a copy and handed it to Shanna. He pointed at some places and told the other party to write according to his own experience. As for everyone, everyone can The information found is naturally inserted into the paper as an introduction and polish according to one's own wishes, which makes it appear more advanced.
“I thought it would take a long time to write!” Shanna looked at her parchment and said with emotion.
Now, she somewhat understood why Albert said that he wrote this paper to deepen his understanding of the Luminous Spell and the Extinguishing Spell.
This is indeed the case.
From looking for information, to copying sentences from books, to finishing the paper. At least, she knew when the spell was invented, who the inventor was, what impact it had after its invention, who improved and innovated on this spell, what problems she encountered when practicing the spell, how to solve it, and her own understanding of the glow. The prospects and prospects of mantra...
Anyway, after writing this pile of things, it will definitely be more than three inches, so there is no need to worry about not being able to write that many numbers.
Moreover, the final point is that if you don’t understand the luminous spell and the extinguishing spell, you really won’t be able to write this bunch of things.
