Chapter 139 137. Individual Cases
Hearing Jon's words, Hermione hesitated for a moment, but then she nodded and said.
"I have thought about this. Magic is magical, but the knowledge I learned in the Muggle school is also objective. I have thought about why wizards and Muggles live in the same world, but have discovered two completely different laws."
"After coming to the carriage, I asked Professor Flitwick about this issue. The professor didn't know what the laws discovered by Muggles were, but he told me that because wizards have magic, the world we see is different from that of Muggles. Magic is like glasses with filters, allowing people who have it and those who don't have it to see different views."
Jon touched his chin. He had never talked about these things with Professor Flitwick before, and the metaphor of glasses was very appropriate.
"So is this world what it looks like when we put on the glasses of magic, or what we see after putting on the glasses? Or, in fact, these are all real, but no one has ever thought of connecting these two worlds together?"
He said thoughtfully, and he had some different thoughts on applying the theory of natural science to magic.
After chatting with Hermione for a while, Jon didn't waste time and went straight to the main topic of today.
Compared to Neville, Hermione received a formal elementary education from Muggles, and also systematically studied scientific knowledge related to gravity, which is basically similar to Jon's situation, except that Jon has studied natural science for a longer time than her and the content is more profound.
"Try to use the levitation spell, but when you recite the spell, don't think in your mind that this spell can make objects float, and believe that the function of the levitation spell is to directly control the gravity of the earth. The fundamental reason why the cursed object can float is that gravity has lost its effect on it."
Jon's fantasy made Hermione a little stunned. She raised her wand and asked unconfidently.
"Is this really possible?"
Jon was very patient, and he looked at the wand in Hermione's hand.
"I'm not sure if this is possible for you, but this kind of attempt doesn't cost anything, and with Hagrid watching over, there's no danger. You can try it on this plate of rock cakes now."
Although Hermione thought Jon's idea was a bit unrealistic, she still raised her wand as he said, and pointed the tip of the wand at the rock cakes that looked like stones in the plate.
"Wingardium Leviosa." She recited the spell of the levitation spell.
In her mind, she didn't think of making the rock cakes fly as Professor Flitwick had taught her in class, but tried to give a property to the matter of "making objects float" as Jon said, so that the effect of the spell would actually interfere with gravity.
But the final result was that nothing happened.
Hermione's levitation spell obviously failed, and the rock cakes were still lying steadily on the plate. Her spell was recited correctly, but it didn't have any effect.
Jon saw this scene and frowned.
"Do you feel anything?" he asked Hermione.
Hermione shook her head.
"No, I don't feel anything. I just felt that the spell and the swing of the wand were the same as usual, but the idea of casting the spell was particularly twisted, so when I finished reciting the spell, I could already feel that the spell was a failure."
Jon's brows frowned even deeper.
Regarding the improvement of the spell, the result was somewhat different from what he thought.
When he just got the ring from Slughorn, he came up with such a method of tampering with the magic will and thinking in order to enhance the effectiveness of the levitation spell. In this process, the wand and the spell did not change at all, only the idea changed, and the final result was successful.
This made Jon think that such success was replicable.
After all, since he came to this world, he did not notice any difference between himself and others.
Since the results can be reflected in him, why can't they be reflected in others?
But now Hermione's attempt in front of him suddenly made him realize another possibility.
Perhaps he did not find a shortcut to connect magic and science. Just as Professor Flitwick said, the existence of magic is equivalent to a pair of glasses with filters. Once you put it on, you will see a completely different world from before you put it on.
These two worlds seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different, and it is difficult or even impossible to make a connection.
And the reason why he was able to succeed was not because he found a new way to cast spells, but because he was special than others!
This special floating spell effect can only be used by him. Even if others follow what he said, understand the principle of gravity, and replace the will when casting spells, they can't do it to his level!
Jon stared blankly at the front of the carriage. Hermione looked at him and thought he was hit by the failure of his experimental attempt, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips to comfort him.
"You are already better than many people in this regard, Jon. Professor Flitwick told us during his tutoring that learning magic sometimes requires some such fantastic ideas. Only then can wizards make progress in their research on spells, and the entire wizarding world will continue to move forward."
Jon came back to his senses. He did not explain to Hermione. If it was really his own specialness that made his spell successful, then it would not be a good thing to publicize this matter.
But he had not completely rejected his previous idea. After all, there was only Hermione as the experimental subject. There might be other reasons that led to the failure. It was not certain that it was the specialness of Jon and everyone else.
He needed to expand the scope of the experiment and let more students who understood gravity try to cast spells with this will. Only based on the results could an accurate conclusion be drawn.
This was not a difficult task. The carriage was not short of Muggle students who had received natural science education. Among the second-year students in the same grade as Jon, there was a boy who almost entered Eton College if he had not come to Hogwarts - Justin Finch-Fletchley.
Just as Jon was thinking about expanding the scope of the experiment and letting Hermione try to cast the spell again, Gabrielle suddenly shouted excitedly on the other side of the driver's seat!
"You did it, Hagrid!"
Hermione and Jon looked in the direction of Hagrid. The coachman was excitedly holding up a long fishing net. A string of water drops dripped from the fishing net and connected to the rippling lake surface.
In the net bag, a big fish was twisting its body, shining brightly in the bright sunshine!
