Chapter 85 84 My Floating Spell Is the Best
Chapter 85 84. I am best at the Levitation Spell
Aberforth looks completely different from his brother. Not only is his personality more irritable, but he is also a very sloppy old man.
There is always a greasy smell in his bar, and the tables and chairs are a bit sticky, as if a customer accidentally spilled beer on them and did not wipe them clean.
However, he really does not need to care too much about the hygiene in his shop. Anyway, he does not rely on the income of this bar to survive, and no matter how clean he cleans, the business is definitely not as good as the other Three Broomsticks Bar in Hogsmeade.
After all, one is Ms. Rosmerta, who still has charm and makes many boys in Hogwarts Castle privately fascinated, and the other is a dirty, unshaven, and eccentric old man. Everyone knows which one to go to.
Aberforth brought Jon a glass of butter beer, and by the way, he also made him a sandwich made of freshly fried, hot eggs and ham at the bar.
Although the glass of butterbeer looked suspicious, and its owner had never cleaned it since he got it, Jon still picked up the glass and drank half of it.
This was not only because he had walked around Hogwarts Castle for most of the day, and 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, but he had just had a sip of water.
It was also because in the two months in the castle, he had not touched any drinks with a little flavor except plain water. Butterbeer was a bit too sweet for Jon's taste, and he didn't like to drink it in the carriage, but now he drank half of it directly.
The freshly baked sandwich tasted very good. No matter how good Aberforth's cooking skills were, this was the first hot food 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 then swallowed the sandwich that he had not chewed for a few times before speaking.
"I will help you solve the problem of the rooster. This cannot be replaced by other things. A real rooster must be used to have an effect on the basilisk. But there is one thing that needs to be figured out. How can you bring the chicken into the castle without attracting attention? And make sure it doesn't make a sound when it is not used."
Jon took another bite of the sandwich in his hand and said 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 its transformation when it is needed?"
"Yes." Jon nodded and said, "How long can your Transfiguration last at most?"
"The transformation from living things to dead things and from dead things to living things are both relatively difficult techniques 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 want."
After all, he was from the Dumbledore family and was an old wizard who had lived for more than a hundred years. Whether it was spells or transformation, his magical attainments far exceeded more than 95% of the wizards in the magic world.
Jon was not surprised by this. If Aberforth couldn't even do this, he would doubt his level.
"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 directly remove the Transfiguration spell attached to 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 it's just like this, it's highly likely that the basilisk won't be killed." Aberforth sat opposite Jon and said solemnly, "You have to assist the rooster by the side, protecting it from being killed and controlling the basilisk's actions so that it can't escape quickly."
Jon finished his sandwich and habitually touched the wand in his hand and said.
"Although the basilisk has a high resistance to magic, it doesn't mean that all spells will not work on it, right?"
"Its defense is actually far from the strength of 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 told all the spells he knew now.
"Petrification, Cleansing, Wand Illumination, Levitation, Unlocking, Repairing, Cutting, Softening and Locking (the last six spells are included in the first-year textbook Standard Spells: Elementary)."
To be honest, Jon had only been exposed to magic for a year, and it was beyond Aberforth's expectation that he could learn so many spells. Moreover, the petrification spell could be considered a spell of medium difficulty, which was not accessible to ordinary first-year students. Jon was very talented to learn it.
"When I was in the carriage, most of my energy was focused on how to master the Levitation spell, so I relaxed a little on learning other spells. Otherwise, I would definitely learn more useful spells."
After hearing Jon's explanation, Aberforth frowned slightly.
"Proficient in the levitation spell? Is this the spell you are most proficient in?"
It could be seen that Aberforth obviously felt that wasting time on a spell like the Levitation Curse was purely mentally ill. Jon did not give any more explanation in words, but directly demonstrated it to him with practical actions. The "Levitation Spell" that I know.
"Wingardim Leviosa."
The ring had been worn around his neck when he entered the secret passage. After Jon recited the spell, his whole body flew up in front of Aberforth!
Seeing Jon, who just recited a floating spell with a different pronunciation, flew up without relying on any external objects, Aberforth's eyes were as big as eggs.
Only then did he realize that the floating spell he understood and the "floating spell" Jon learned to use could be said to be two different kinds of magic.
After showing what he knew now, Jon lifted the effect of the "Levitation Curse". He didn't want to show off, but at this time he had better explain everything he knew clearly, so Ah Only Fusi can determine what areas he needs to strengthen based on his abilities.
