Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 64: For reference and citation

After returning to the Gryffindor common room, Albert made himself a cup of milk tea and asked his roommate again if he wanted to go to the library to do homework for the Charms class. After being rejected again, he packed up The schoolbag, waved goodbye to the three people and went to the library.

During class time, there are not many people in the library. Albert walked into the library and saw Shanna who was flipping through the book looking for information. He walked towards the girl, pulled out the chair gently and sat down, and said in a low voice, "I hope I'm not late?"

Albert came on time, it was exactly 2 o'clock.

"No, the homework in the Charms class is a bit difficult, and I didn't find much useful information." There are several books next to Shanna. She has come half an hour earlier, but she still can't find any comparison. useful information.

Albert flipped through a few thick books on the table, shook his head, and directly greeted Shanna to go to Section C to find the books he needed from the fifth row of bookshelves.

In other words, the "Selected Curse of the Nineteenth Century" that I borrowed last time has not been returned yet.

However, the "Selected Curse of the Nineteenth Century" is almost finished. As expected, it should be read soon. It is better to bring it. After all, the time to borrow the book is coming up.

Albert took out the "Conjuration Achievement" he found from the bookshelf and handed it to Shanna next to him. The young witch looked at the book Albert handed to him in astonishment.

Soon, Albert pulled out the "Eighteenth Century Curse Selection" he was looking for, and returned to the desk with Shanna.

"How do you know that this book has what we're looking for?" Shanna was surprised to find that the two books Albert picked had the information they were looking for, and then she felt depressed again, she had just worked so hard to find the information What exactly.

"The Book of Accomplishment of Charms is actually very useful, at least when it comes to the written test," Albert explained. " should be able to find relevant information."

"Your brain is so good, why didn't you go to Ravenclaw?" Shanna asked suspiciously.

"Who knows?" Albert shrugged and whispered, "Maybe, the Sorting Hat thinks I'll be better off in Gryffindor."

Find the information, the next step is actually very simple, that is to extract the appropriate sentence:

For example, the Luminous Charm was invented in the 18th century (1772) by a witch named Levina Monk Stanley, who was a mute in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.

Discovery of the Wand Lighting Charm: One day, while searching for a lost quill in a dusty corner, Levina lit the end of her wand to the surprise of her colleagues, who all thought This spell is very useful, and record it...

A paragraph of Barabara's text is an excerpt anyway.

For some reason, Albert suddenly misses the copy and paste function on the computer, and wonders if magic can do it.

If you can, it will be much easier to write essays in the future.

"Alas!"

Albert sighed lightly, and when he regained his senses, he realized that he was distracted, and he wrote the wrong word. He couldn't help but feel a little tangled.

He crossed out the misspelled word, dipped the quill in the ink bottle, and continued copying. In fact, the content of the thesis is very simple. It is to simply copy the "Magic Achievement" and "The Eighteenth Century Curse Selection", and then write down some of the problems that I encountered while practicing the Luminous Mantra, and then write it down. Ways to solve puzzles.

Albert found that after writing this content, it had taken up a large piece of parchment, and Shanna, who was still flipping the book next to him, was stunned.

"What's the matter with you?" Albert asked in confusion.

"You..." Shanna pointed to 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 "The Eighteenth Century Curse Selection". However, Albert still found the relevant records in the "Conjuration Achievement", and then found the relevant books from the bookshelf, and continued to copy a wave.

Shanna looked at her poorly written essay and Albert's neatly planned essay, and suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.

It turns out that the paper can still be written like this!

Shanna also knew that much of the paper was copied from the book, but so what.

Albert said this is called borrowing, citing.

If you squeeze it yourself, you probably won't be able to squeeze a 3-inch paper.

It took about an hour and a half for Albert to finish writing this treatise on the Wand's Illuminating and Extinguishing Charms.

Although half of the papers are copied, there are still many of them based on the various problems and solutions that Albert encountered when he learned magic spells. Investigate in depth, such as the ability to let the light from one end of the wand leave the wand, and store the light of the Luminous Charm. Or, use the Extinguishing Charm, the wacky idea of ​​controlling the lights around you ~IndoMTL.com~ and...combine the two to make a Light Extinguisher.

Bah, it is the concept of the magic lamp. If the lamp can be used to create a magic lamp with the effect of a Muggle lamp, wizards will no longer need to use oil lamps in the future!

These are the last remaining ideas. They are just some ideas. Albert wrote them on the paper, but he actually wanted to use the hands of Professor Flitwick to help him complete them.

After all, Professor Flitwick is an expert on spells, and perhaps his ingenuity intrigues him.

The quest for the magic lamp is not complete yet!

"Why not?" After waiting for the ink on the parchment to dry, Albert used a copy spell to make a copy and hand it to Shanna, and pointed at some places, telling the other party to write according to his own experience. The information that everyone can find is naturally inserted into the paper as an introduction and embellishment according to their own meaning, which makes it even more tall.

"I thought it would take a long time to write!" Shanna said with emotion as she looked at her parchment.

Now, she somewhat understands why Albert said that he wrote this thesis to deepen his understanding of the Illuminating Charm and the Extinguishing Charm.

This is indeed the case.

From finding information, to transcribing sentences in books, to writing papers. At least, she knows when the spell was invented, who the inventor was, what impact it had after it was invented, who made improvements and innovations on the spell, and what problems she encountered while practicing the spell, how to solve it, The Prospects and Prospects of the Curse...

Anyway, after writing this pile of things, it must be more than three inches, so I don't worry about not being able to write that many numbers.

And, in the end, if you don't know the Lighting and Extinguishing Spells, you really can't write this stuff.
