In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

  Chapter 48 48. "Levitation Curse"

"Hogwarts was founded more than 900 years ago, and during this period, almost all children who have the potential to become wizards will be selected by the magic school before the age of 11. If it is a student who is completely from a Muggle family, 11 How much knowledge of natural science can a student who has just graduated from elementary school learn?"

  Jon's question Neville couldn't answer, he didn't even understand what the word gravitation meant, and who was Newton.

"No matter how many, these students basically do not have access to too high a level of scientific knowledge, and when they are absorbed by Hogwarts and become a little wizard to learn magic, they will not even think about understanding Muggles. For them, if they have the energy and time, they might as well study a few more spells."

"Coupled with the constraints of the Secrecy Act and traditional wizards' discrimination against Muggles, the wizarding world has never faced up to Muggles' own understanding of the world. I have never thought about the changes that magic has brought to this world. What is it? What a deeper change has taken place!"

  Neville looked like he was listening to a bible, and he looked at Jon blankly.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

  Jon took a deep breath to relieve his inner excitement and excitement.

"When we use the floating spell, what we think in our hearts is to believe that objects can fly, but in fact there are many ways to make objects fly, and magic itself chooses the most simple and direct one, forming a kind of power Lift the object up, but what if I assign it a way to fly when I cast the spell?"

   "What else is there?" Neville became more and more confused. After all, for a child like him who has never received any modern science education since he was a child, he couldn't understand the principle of why objects always fall to the ground.

  Jon didn't continue to explain to him, and held his wand solemnly, aiming the tip of the wand at the middle of the bedroom.

  The incantation that was about to cocoon in Neville's ears rang out again with incomparable clarity.

   "Wingardim Leviosa!"

   This floating spell has no target, or in other words, everything in the entire bedroom is the target of Jon's spell.

   And at the moment when the incantation sounded, Neville's eyes widened to the maximum, looking at this miraculous scene in the room in shock!

  In the dormitory, apart from him and Jon, the two living people, parchment, quill pens, ink bottles, desks, chairs, including the two heaviest four-poster beds, all items were floating in the air!

  The floating state is significantly different from the effect of the normal floating spell.

  After the normal floating spell takes effect, the object is obviously going straight up and down, and it will stop when it rises to a certain height.

  The objects floating in front of Neville's eyes are all floating irregularly, like fish floating in the water, without any restrictions at all!

   But such a miraculous scene only lasted for less than two seconds, and then a burst of "crackling" sound of things falling kept ringing in their ears.

  Jon's spell effect ended, and the flying thing fell back to the ground again.

The originally clean and tidy dormitory instantly turned into a garbage dump. The tables and chairs were scattered all over the place. The two beds were directly turned over on the ground, two ink bottles were broken, and there were large pieces of ink on the ground. Scattered all over the place.

But neither Jon nor Neville cared about this. The two stared at each other with big eyes, one person's eyes were full of excitement that the conjecture was confirmed, and the other person's eyes were full of "Why did it suddenly happen like this?" unbelievable.

"how did you do it?"

   Neville felt that this sentence was very familiar when he said it, as if he had asked the exact same question not long ago.

   "As I told you, to formulate a way for the floating spell to make objects fly, it is not to use magic power to lift it up, but to control gravity."

  Jon didn't hide his secrets, and directly told Neville generously about his discovery.

  But now Neville can't even figure out what the word gravity means, let alone let him understand it.

  Jon actually felt that there was a high probability that he would not succeed. As one of the four basic forces in physics, he felt that this ultimate rule could not be changed so easily.

   But in fact, magic itself is a rule that breaks the rules. The normal floating spell also completely violates the common sense of physics, and a force is born out of thin air to lift the object up.

  Thinking about it from another angle, it might be easier for magic to change the existing gravitational force than to create a new force.

  But Jon obviously has a general grasp of this form of "floating spell", and the effect that can be maintained cannot even exceed three seconds.

  But the most difficult thing in the world is the process from 0 to 1. As long as he can successfully use this spell once, he is not afraid of not being able to master it proficiently in the future.

   After restraining his joy and tidying up the dormitory together with Neville, Jon left the dormitory straight away.

  He wants to share this news with Slughorn. Even the fat walrus has a high probability of not being able to understand what gravity is, but it does not prevent him from passing on the happy things.

   Knocked on the door of the office, and after a reply came from inside, Jon pushed the door and walked in.

  The office was filled with smoke, and Slughorn was standing by a cauldron, boiling a pot of potion.

  When Jon walked in, he had just put a piece of dried snake skin like a belt into the boiling potion.

  Jon blinked his eyes, and became a little interested in this pot of potion.

   "Teacher, what are you doing?"

   "Hmm, a potion that is very beneficial to the elderly. Although I eat a lot of sugar, I also pay attention to my health. After all, no one wants to die in a hospital bed."

   While stirring the potion with his wand, he told Jon the formula.

"The powder from the horn of the unicorn, a piece of the dragon's liver, and the tears of Dumbledore's pet bird, these three are the core materials, and there are secondary accessories such as the snake skin. Do you want to Want some? Even if you are still young, it will be of great benefit to your growing body, but this pot of potion takes a long time to brew, so you have to wait."

   "Then I will thank you in advance, teacher."

   "Oh, by the way, why did you come to me? Do you have any questions about magic?"

  Slughorn stopped turning his wand in his hand, and looked up at Jon suspiciously.

   "Of course not, but my floating spell has finally made a breakthrough!"

  His happy smile still hangs on his face, but there is something different in that smile from when he came.
