The Real Hogwarts Chapter 84 My Levitation Spell is the Best
Aberforth looks completely different from his biological brother. Not only is he more irritable, but he is also a very sloppy old man.
There was always a strange greasy smell in his bar, and the tables, chairs and benches were all a little sticky, as if a customer had accidentally spilled beer on them and hadn't wiped them clean.
However, there was really no need for him to care too much about the cleanliness of his shop. He did not rely on the income from this bar to survive anyway, and no matter how clean he cleaned, the business would definitely not be as good as the other Three Broomsticks bar in Hogsmeade.
After all, one is Ms. Rosmerta, who still has charm and many boys in Hogwarts Castle are secretly fascinated by her, and the other is a dirty, unshaven, and weird old man. Everyone knows which one to go to.
Aberforth brought Jon a glass of butterbeer and made him a sandwich with freshly fried, hot eggs and ham at the bar.
Although the glass of butterbeer looked doubtful as to whether its owner had cleaned it since purchasing it, Jon still picked up the glass and gulped down most of it.
This was not only because he had walked around Hogwarts Castle for most of the day, then climbed the stairs along the secret passage for more than ten minutes, and had a long conversation with Aberforth at the Hog's Head Bar, but he had only just had a sip of water.
Moreover, in the two months in the castle, he had not touched any drinks with a slight flavor except plain water. Butterbeer was a bit too sweet for Jon's taste. He didn't like to drink it much in the carriage, but now he drank half a cup directly.
The freshly baked sandwiches tasted very good. No matter how good Aberforth's cooking skills were, this was the first hot meal Jon had eaten in a while. The three meals a day in the castle were either dry bread or cold and hard bacon.
Looking at Jon who was eating voraciously, Aberforth waited for him to finish the remaining butterbeer in the wooden cup in the second sip and swallow the sandwich he had not chewed enough before he spoke.
"I'll help you with the rooster issue. There's no way to replace it with anything else. You need a real rooster to have an effect on the basilisk. But there's one thing you need to figure out. How can you bring the rooster into the castle without attracting attention? And you have to make sure it doesn't make any noise when you're not using it."
Jon took another bite of the sandwich in his hand and spoke thoughtfully.
"Can this problem be solved by using Transfiguration?"
Aberforth was slightly stunned.
"You mean to turn the chicken into a dead object that can't move, and then remove the transformation when you need it?"
"Yes." Jon nodded and said, "How long can your Transfiguration last at most?"
"Transfiguration from living to dead and vice versa is considered a relatively difficult technique in Transfiguration." Aberforth said it was difficult, but his face did not show any difficulty. "But if it were me, I could make the chicken's transformation last for more than a week if you wanted."
After all, he was born in the Dumbledore family and was an old wizard who had lived for more than a hundred years. Whether it was spells or transfiguration, his magical attainments were far beyond more than 95% of the wizards in the magical world.
Jon was not surprised by this. If Aberforth couldn't even do this, then he would have doubted his own ability.
"Then you will cast a spell on the rooster, and try to turn it into something small, easy to carry, and inconspicuous. When I need it, I can simply remove the Transfiguration spell on it. It shouldn't require any advanced Transfiguration skills to remove the Transfiguration ."
"But as I said before, the rooster is easy to deal with, but if we just do this, we probably won't be able to kill the basilisk." Aberforth sat opposite Jon, his eyes solemn, and said, "You have to assist the rooster. You have to protect it from being killed, and control the basilisk's actions so that it can't escape quickly."
Jon finished his sandwich, touching the wand in his hand as usual, and said.
"Although the basilisk has a high resistance to magic, it doesn't mean that all spells will have no effect on it, right?"
"Its defensive power is actually far from as strong as dragon skin. But even if there are many spells that can do this, can you use them?" Aberforth looked at Jon. He was not mocking anything, but asking very seriously.
Jon shook his head and truthfully recited all the spells .
"The Petrification Charm, the Cleansing Charm, the Wand Illumination Charm, the Levitation Charm, the Unlocking Charm, the Repairing Charm, the Cutting Charm, the Softening Charm, and the Locking Charm (the last six spells are included in the first-year textbook, "Standard Spells: Elementary")."
To be honest, considering that Jon had only been exposed to magic for a year, the fact that he could learn so many spells was beyond Aberforth's expectation. Moreover, the Petrification Spell could be considered a spell of medium difficulty, which most first-year students could not even come into contact with. It was already very talented that Jon could learn it.
"While I was in the carriage, I focused most of my energy on mastering the levitation spell, so I was a little relaxed in learning other spells. Otherwise, I would definitely have learned some more useful spells."
Aberforth couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing Jon's explanation.
"Mastering the levitation spell? Is this the spell you are most proficient in?"
It was obvious that Aberforth felt that wasting time on spells like the levitation spell was pure brain disease, and Jon did not give any verbal explanation, but directly demonstrated to him the "levitation spell" that he knew with practical actions.
"Wingardium Leviosa."
He had been wearing the ring around his neck when he entered the secret passage. After John recited the spell, he flew up in front of Aberforth!
Seeing Jon flying up without any external help just by reciting a nonsensical levitation spell, Aberforth's eyes widened to the size of cow eggs.
Only then did he realize that the levitation spell he understood and the "levitation spell" that John was learning to use were two completely different kinds of magic.
After demonstrating what he knew now, Jon removed the effect of the "Floating Spell". He didn't want to show off, but at this time he'd better explain everything he knew so that Aberforth could determine what areas he needed to improve based on his abilities.
