Jon didn't care about the rudeness of the boy who was obviously Ron's brother. He was still thinking about some of the wand-swinging skills taught by Professor Flitwick in the Charms class just now.
Magic in this world is undoubtedly a very idealistic ability. The most important thing in casting spells is the caster himself. Things like spells, wands, and wand-waving gestures can all be used as auxiliary means.
The absence of these does not mean that the wizard loses the ability to use magic, but it will make magic more disordered and infinitely more difficult to learn and master specific spells.
Therefore, the reason why the three things of spells, wands and wand-waving gestures were created is to allow wizards to master specific magic more accurately and orderly.
Instead of lighting a fire when I wanted to use lighting to illuminate the surroundings.
As the basics, these are of course the key, but Jon also understands that mastering these can only ensure that the wizard can cast spells normally.
No matter what kind of magic there is, there are differences in strength and weakness, and what distinguishes the power of magic is undoubtedly the most fundamental elements of using magic spells on wizards - determination and magic power.
The basics can be mastered through more practice and proficiency, but determination and magic cannot be strengthened by hard work.
Whether a wizard is gifted in magic is reflected here. This is something so wonderful that even teachers who teach magic cannot explain it in words.
"Percy is really the most annoying. Look at his look like, 'I hope I don't mess up even this little thing.' What does he think of us? We only know how to eat and sleep, and are stupid the rest of the time." He waved his wooden stick.
A snarling troll?"
Ron complained almost the whole way.
The red-haired boy just now was his third brother, Percy Weiss. He looked different from the other children in the Weiss family, and he obviously lacked humor.
"Is this the storage room?"
Justin pushed open the door marked with the house number. Inside was a room used as a partition, just like the greenhouse in the herbal medicine class.
There is no wooden rack in this room, but there are several wooden barrels thrown in a corner. There are seven doors on the wall opposite the entrance, which are labeled "meat", "vegetables", "wine", etc.
instruction of.
The job was indeed very simple. The five of them easily found potatoes and onions in the storage room marked "Vegetables." However, when they were about to move these things to the kitchen, Lavender was suddenly struck by a man.
Rooms without signs on the doors attract attention.
"What is this room for?"
Everyone else looked at where she was pointing. The door looked just like any other door. The only difference was that there was no special marking.
"Maybe there are some other useless debris piled up. Let's send these food materials to the kitchen first."
Neville was obviously able to restrain his curiosity. He and Jon looked at each other, and together they lifted the heaviest box of onions.
"It's better not to delay dinner."
Jon also felt that it was best not to be too curious in a magic school like this, otherwise who knows what kind of accidents might happen.
But both Ron and Lavender were already interested, and while Jon and Neville were talking, they both walked to the door together.
"Just take a look and you won't waste much time. Don't worry, if there was something wrong behind this door, George and Fred would have used it to scare me at home."
While Ron was speaking, he put his hand on the door, and then pushed it gently, pushing the door open without any resistance.
The space behind the door is very empty, with just a few wooden boxes stacked up. It looks like an ordinary empty utility room.
"I thought there would be some fun magic props hidden inside." Ron looked disappointed.
And just a second after he finished speaking, a gloomy and hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the storage room door.
"Who asked you to open that door at will?"
Except for Jon, who noticed the person outside the door from the beginning, everyone else was startled by the sudden sound.
The owner of the voice is Filch, the carriage manager. He is responsible for maintaining and cleaning the facilities on the carriage, and also assists Professor McGonagall in monitoring student discipline.
He stared at those eyes that looked like dead fish, walked into the storage room, and stared at Ron fiercely.
"Professor McGonagall should have emphasized to you freshmen that on the carriage, except for those rooms with house numbers, no other doors can be opened casually. Don't you remember it?"
Ron hurriedly closed the door again and defended himself.
"But it's just an empty room..."
"Don't use those useless explanations. You will be cleaning the boys' toilets for the next week. This will teach you a lesson!"
After finishing the punishment, Filch didn't give Ron any chance to speak. He kept muttering something like "If this was seven years ago, I would have deducted 20 points from your academy."
Turned around and left the storage room.
Ron's face was ugly, and Justin looked at him sympathetically. He picked up a bag of potatoes from the ground, and walked out of the storage room with Jon and the others carrying the ingredients.
"George and the others are right, this old guy is really annoying, even more annoying than Percy. There is obviously nothing in that room!"
Neville opened his mouth to comfort Ron, while Jon listened silently.
No matter how likable Filch was, he was just following the rules. Ron shouldn't have pushed the door open when they persuaded him from the beginning. If he was caught and punished later, he deserved it.
Of course, he would not say these words out loud. There were only five of them in the same grade, so it was best for them to get along as harmoniously as possible.
After delivering the ingredients to the kitchen, the fourth-grade students did not ask them to help with any more things. However, Jon and the others did not leave directly, but continued to watch them prepare dinner.
When they reach third grade, they will start to officially enter the kitchen to prepare a school meal. The first two years have been a time for them to learn.
Life on board the Hogwarts carriage was not as stressful and depressing as Jon had initially suspected. Life on the carriage was generally quite relaxed.
The first week of school passed peacefully like this. Even on a carriage, of course there will be weekends, but it is not an ordinary situation. The carriage will not stop, and students will not be allowed to get out of the carriage. There are two days on the weekend.
They can only stay in the car.
Just when Jon thought that this kind of peace would last at least for a while, he encountered a little accident on Wednesday of the second week of school.
