Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 282: Black History
After class, Albert deliberately stayed and blocked Professor Smith in the classroom, asking him to fulfill his promise and help him learn the Traceless Stretching Spell.
The task reward of the panel is not good at this point, and sometimes the reward will be sent to him in other ways. This time, it was more pitiful, not to learn the Traceless Stretching Spell directly, but to teach myself through Professor Smith.
Going to Hogsmeade tomorrow, once you get Mundungus and get the swamp digger's fur from him, the Traceless Stretching Charm will come in handy.
"Do you think that part of what I said in class is... a bit too aggressive?" Professor Smith stopped in front of his office, turned his head to look at Albert, who was absent-minded, and asked.
"It's too early for most sophomores." Albert nodded, Professor Smith's teaching level is indeed very high, but Albert is still a little doubtful that this group of sophomores can accept this part knowledge.
"I'll probably leave Hogwarts early, like Professor Broad." Professor Smith twisted the door handle and turned his head to Albert. "Maybe around May."
"Is it May?"
Albert is not too surprised. The curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts is too dangerous. For his own safety, resigning early is the best choice.
"Before leaving school, I will teach as much useful knowledge as possible. Come in..." Professor Smith invited Albert into his office.
Albert is sitting on the sofa as usual.
"Is it still milk tea?"
"Hmm." Albert responded.
Professor Smith waved his wand and made Albert a cup of milk tea.
"Honestly, Hogwarts students are pretty bad at Defense Against the Dark Arts." Professor Smith said to himself, as if he was talking about something interesting, "You can't believe it, so many people, even big ones. Some of the people who work in the Ministry of Magic can't even pronounce a decent Iron Armor spell, and they're terrible in the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"These are the times of peace," Albert said without hesitation, "and the Ministry of Magic doesn't want them to know...you know, there's not much that schools really teach their students, most of them need to be taught by others, or Learn by yourself..."
"I heard some news that You-Know-Who is still alive," interrupted Professor Smith.
"Well, at the alchemy party, I heard about it from other wizards." Albert nodded to show that he knew. However, Albert felt that Professor Smith was not talking about this in class, but for other reasons.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Professor Smith didn't seem to want to talk about it, "I can probably guess why you want to learn the Unmarked Stretching Spell, but I need to remind you, Unmarked Stretching mantra is an advanced mantra, and it is very difficult to learn, so you need to be prepared."
"I'm mentally prepared," said Albert calmly. He was ready to put in a lot of experience after mastering the Traceless Stretching Spell, and directly raise the skill level to three levels quickly.
"Let's start, pay attention." Professor Smith raised his wand and cast a spell on the finished teacup.
"Extend Increment!"
He tapped his wand on the teacup, then smiled and said to Albert, "Try filling the teacup with water, and you'll see that the teacup becomes larger."
Albert pulled out his wand, filled the teacup with water like a spring, and the capacity inside did become very large.
"Pick it up." Professor Smith made a gesture of invitation.
Albert found that the teacup didn't sink as expected.
"The Traceless Stretch Charm not only expands the internal dimensions of an object while keeping its exterior unchanged, but also makes the items contained within it lighter," explained Professor Smith.
"This magic is very useful." Albert told the truth, he already had several ideas to use this thing.
"It's really useful." Professor Smith continued, "However, because of the risk of abuse of the Unmarked Stretch Spell, it is strictly monitored by the Ministry of Magic."
"If you make full use of the stretching spell, you can make a suitcase the width of a room. This teacup is the best proof, but this kind of magic also has a big problem, that is, it is easy to restore." Professor Smith waved his wand and put the The water in the teacup was swept away.
"If a wizard walks down the street with a suitcase with a traceless stretch spell on it, but the spell on the suitcase suddenly fails, what will happen, the result can be imagined, this is a serious violation of the international Secrecy law."
"Will it all come out?" Albert asked tentatively.
"Yes." Professor Smith shook his head, "Anyway, the Ministry of Magic has issued a bunch of strict regulations. Wizards can no longer expand their capacity at will, let alone use them for personal use, otherwise they will be fined."
Speaking of this, Professor Smith is even more disdainful, "You know, those **** rules have many loopholes in themselves, or in other words, when they wrote the law, they deliberately left loopholes!"
With regard to the law, Albert strongly agrees that the law in the magical world is basically riddled with holes and essentially serves a small number of people.
"You probably don't know that the Traceless Stretching Charm cannot be used for personal use, otherwise you will be fined, and it's more for your own profit~IndoMTL.com~ Speaking of this, Professor Smith is even more disdainful. , "Except only the products approved by the relevant departments of the Ministry, luggage or family travel tents, of course, these things are actually stipulated by a certain family for profit. "
Albert was speechless when he heard the words. He didn't expect such a truth.
"Of course, those suitcases or family travel tents have been strictly inspected." Smith said that some people's dark history was not polite at all.
"It's a normal operation to use power to benefit myself." Albert mocked himself, "If I had the opportunity, I would definitely do it too."
Smith was stunned, probably not expecting Albert to say this.
However, with him, 80% would do the same.
Who's going to have a hard time with Garen?
What's more, it's legitimate money making.
"Ahem, anyway, you just need to pay attention to yourself." Professor Smith reminded, "I don't want you to be imprisoned in Azkaban prison for this accusation."
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's try it!"
"Increase in capacity!" Albert waved his wand and cast a spell on his finished teacup.
"The gesture is wrong, it should be like this." Professor Smith raised his wand and showed Albert.
"Increase in capacity!" Albert tried several times, but failed.
However, Albert is not discouraged, and keeps an eye on panel changes while continuing to try.
"Okay, it's almost done. Don't worry too much. With your talent, it won't take long to master it." Professor Smith was not too surprised that Albert's teacup had not changed. Said, "There is also a book about the Unmarked Stretching Charm in the forbidden area of Hogwarts. I will write you a note and you will borrow it."
