In the afternoon, after the Charms class ended, Coven, who once again added five points to Gryffindor, did not leave the classroom immediately.
Arriving at the lecture table, Coven politely asked Professor Flitwick, who was standing on top of a pile of books behind the lecture table: "Professor, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, of course." Professor Flitwick stopped packing the textbooks and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Kewen, is there any problem that stumps you, a little genius?"
"I'm not a genius." Ke Wen quickly denied, and then said: "As a professor, I found that most of the magic spells follow the same rules."
"What's the pattern?" Professor Flitwick immediately interjected without waiting for Coven to finish speaking. His face showed expressions of happiness, surprise, and anticipation, and his expressions changed very quickly.
Of course, Corwin noticed the changes in Professor Flitwick's face, but now was not the time to care about those, so he continued: "I found that most... I mean these spells that I know now."
"Most of these curses, although they appear to be one word, are composed of part of ancient Latin and part of ancient English."
"Keep talking! Keep talking!" Professor Flitwick became even more excited, his eyes almost shining. He put his hands on the podium, leaned forward, and urged in an expectant tone.
"Well... that's it." Coven didn't understand why Professor Flitwick was so excited and continued: "In my conclusion, the ancient Latin part of these spells is responsible for triggering magical effects, while the ancient English part
part, it will trigger the control effect on magic."
"Go on!" Professor Flitwick urged again, his hands moving his fingers in excitement.
"Let's use the Levitation Spell as an analogy." Ke Wen nodded slightly and continued: "The first half of the spell is in Old English, which means to command elevation, and the second half is in Ancient Latin, which symbolizes the concept of floating.
.Together, it means commanding objects to float."
"The same is true for other spells, such as the Flying Curse. The whole spell is the concept of 'flying' in ancient Latin. It is preceded by the specified item in English, and the combination is a complete Flying Curse."
"Genius!" Professor Flitwick suddenly shouted in admiration, startling Corwin.
"Genius! Little Corwin, you are really a genius!" Professor Flitwick was very excited. After a long time, he calmed down slightly and said to Corvin: "You are right in summing up. Most spells are like this, but there are other ways to combine them.
, it’s not just the combination of Old English and Old Latin, other ancient languages also have magic power.”
"Ancient Dongba language, ancient Chinese, ancient Egyptian, ancient Mayan, ancient Atlantis, etc., etc., etc.!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed: "All ancient texts have magic! Magic! Magic!"
Curse! The essence is the power of language!”
"But it's a pity..." Professor Flitwick sighed after saying this: "Thousands of years have passed, many ancient texts have been lost, and even if the writing methods are obtained, the correct pronunciation is not known. The most complete known text is now
Of the ancient languages, only runes are left. Of course, I highly recommend you take this course in fifth grade."
"I will take the elective." Ke Wen confirmed, and then asked: "So, Professor, can I develop some magic spells by myself according to this rule?"
"Development curse?" Professor Flitwick was surprised.
"That's right. For example, I used ancient Latin to inspire the concept of 'frost.'" Coven said with an analogy: "Then I used English to add manipulation to this concept, such as using the word burst."
"Don't! Listen to Xiao Kewen! Don't do random experiments and develop magic spells on your own!" Professor Flitwick warned loudly and solemnly.
"Okay Professor." Seeing this, Kewen agreed anyway and calmed Professor Flitwick's excitement slightly, and then said: "I have no idea of developing experiments privately, so I came here to ask Professor Flitwick for advice.
"
"Very good, little Kewen! What you did is very correct!" Professor Flitwick praised him, and then said with some fear: "I just said, the magic is the power of language, the right language inspires the right
The power of wrong language..."
After a pause, Professor Flitwick continued: "Let me also use the 'Levitation Curse' you just mentioned as an analogy."
"In the levitating spell, if the pronunciation of s is changed to f, then the cast will not be the levitating spell, but will become an uncertain spell! Many people have mispronounced this spell. In all bad cases, the person who was cursed
The one with the least severe backlash was hit by the sudden appearance of the old cow, which damaged his ribs and internal organs!"
"Therefore, little Coven!" Professor Flitwick warned solemnly: "Never experiment with spells on your own. Even if you pronounce the spell correctly, even a single difference in the tone will cause serious consequences.
Forecast consequences!”
"Okay, I will keep your instructions in mind." Ke Wen said obediently.
"Very good! Very good, little Corwin!" Professor Flitwick finally smiled again, leaned out from behind the podium, raised his hand and patted Corwin on the shoulder and said: "No matter what, you are a genius! I think I can do it.
Twenty points for Gryffindor for your question!"
"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." Coven said with some embarrassment: "Thank you for the compliment, and thank you for the extra points."
"What a pity." Professor Flitwick shrank back, shook his head and sighed: "What a pity you went to Gryffindor?"
"I..." Ke Wen was a little shy.
"Needless to say, I know." Professor Flitwick smiled amusingly: "After the sorting, I specifically asked the Sorting Hat. After all, we all thought you would come to Ravenclaw."
When Professor Flitwick said this, he was a little helpless and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that you actually asked to go to Gryffindor because you like to save trouble."
"Uh, this..." Ke Wen was embarrassed.
"You don't know." Professor Flitwick said amusingly: "How long has your Professor McGonagall been showing off silently in front of us since then?"
"If I could change the college..." Ke Wen said tentatively: "I want to go to your Ravenclaw even more now."
"Oh, boy, that won't work." Professor Flitwick shook his head helplessly: "Once assigned to a house, it cannot be changed."
"Why……"
Professor Flitwick and Corwin sighed in unison, then looked at each other and laughed...
