Water-Making Spell and Magic Cube Theory

Wizet and Luna descended the Moving Staircase and jogged to the greenhouse located outside the castle.

The door to the first greenhouse was open. Wizet led Luna forward to the Greenhouse Two, where a busy figure could be seen in the distance.

Sprout also got up very early, holding a pot of fertilizer with blue glitter in his hands, to fertilize the plants in the greenhouse.

That was a souvenir that Wizet brought back from Sweden, dragon dung from Swedish Short-Snout.

Sprout is very interested in all kinds of plants and herbs, and to her, a large bag of high-quality dragon dung would be a wonderful gift.

"Wizet, good morning!" She saw Wizet and Luna running towards her, put the little shovel back into the dragon dung basin, and waved with a smile. "And the lovely girl... you're Luna, right?"

Wizet greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Professor Sprout!"

Luna bowed and said, "Hello, Professor Sprout, I am Luna."

"I heard Wizet mention you before..." Sprout smiled kindly, "You came to see that Dirigible Plum? I'll take you there..."

"Professor Sprout, it's mainly because Luna just left home, so she's not used to it yet. So we plan to..." Wizet quickly stepped forward and briefly explained the situation in the garden.

"So that's how you get used to life?" Sprout's smile widened. "You're a young lady who enjoys life..."

"Let's help out! We have all the tools we need... By the way! How are those Color-changing Christmas Cactus? Are they easy to care for?"

Luna picked up a small shovel, followed Sprout, and nodded with a smile, "They're very easy to care for, and very lively..."

"Professor Sprout, actually I drew them all, but I didn't bring my sketchbook with me. I'll bring it to you next time."

Sprout was thrilled. "That's wonderful! I can't wait!"

Luna and Sprout were fertilizing with shovels, while Wizet held her wand in her hand, chanting, "Water from the Fountain!"

Two people fertilized the plants while one person watered them. The three of them worked in the Greenhouse Two and soon the plants were well taken care of.

"Water-Making Spell, a very useful magic." Sprout looked at Wizet and smiled.

"Being able to freely manipulate the water flow shows that you are quite proficient in using this magic."

"By the way, if I asked you to use Water-Making Spell to create a batch of 'pure water,' could you try?"

"I've tried this before." Wizet. "I don't think plants need pure water, so I didn't make any adjustments, I just controlled the water flow."

"I'm not surprised by the surprises you can bring anymore," Sprout said with a smile, picking up his wand. "The Water-Making Spell is a basic magic..."

"You went to Sweden during the summer vacation... I remember that's the birthplace of the Water-Making Spell... Wizet, did you learn the Water-Making Spell step by step from the earliest Ritual Magic?"

"Absolutely right, Professor Sprout." Wizet nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, then it seems Professor Sprout deserves five extra points." Sprout joked with a smile, "Since you learned the Water-Making Spell in this way..."

"So your understanding of the Water-Making Spell must be quite profound. Can I take this opportunity to share some advanced knowledge with you? Would you be willing to listen to my rambling?"

Wizet nodded repeatedly, "I couldn't be happier, Professor Sprout!"

Sprout looked at Luna, "Luna, if you don't understand, you can come and ask me later... but I think Wizet would be happy to answer your questions."

"I will, Professor Sprout." Luna nodded with a smile, then winked at Wizet.

"That's great." Sprout cleared his throat. "The Water-Making Spell is a basic magic. Since you started learning it on your own with Ritual Magic, you should understand what I mean."

"Since it's the foundation, it means it has many variations. It can not only adjust the purity of the water itself, but also be combined with other magic to extend its reach further. Do you understand this?"

Wizet nodded, immediately thinking of Filius Flitwick's magical demonstration, "For example Water-Making Spell combined with Icing Spell?"

"Yes, it's a classic magic combination." Sprout. "It seems Filius has already demonstrated it to you. It should still be a staffless and Nonverbal Spellcasting. I won't embarrass myself by showing it to you."

"Back to the Water-Making Spell, the reason we only learned Water-Making Spell in sixth grade was to expand its Water-Making Spell. We can combine Water-Making Spell to achieve different effects."

"It's like a Rubik's Cube... You guys should know what a Rubik's Cube is, right? It's a Muggle toy. I once received a Christmas present that included a Rubik's Cube. It was a really interesting toy."

"I know!" Wizet and Luna nodded in unison. They had seen similar things when they were shopping at the department store before.

"That's good," Sprout continued. "Let's use the Rubik's Cube as an analogy. A fully repaired Rubik's Cube is like the most basic Water-Making Spell."

"During the restoration process, the colorful patterns that appear on the Rubik's Cube are equivalent to the addition of other magic. In the end, what is presented is still the restored Rubik's Cube, which is the magic of the Water-Making Spell itself..."

"For example, when we add the Fire-Making Spell... it's like the red side of a Rubik's Cube... but it's still a Rubik's Cube, the main body hasn't changed... reach out and feel it... Water from the Fountain!"

This is a very clever analogy; at least Wizet can establish the corresponding concepts and absorb as much of the knowledge Sprout has to offer.

A Rubik's Cube is a three-dimensional puzzle composed of many small pieces, each of which can be rotated independently. The ultimate goal is to make the colors on each face uniform.

As Sprout said, no matter how the colors change or how the pattern is scrambled, it is still a Rubik's Cube in the end.

Just as adding other magic to Water-Making Spell doesn't change the fact that it's still Water-Making Spell.

Wizet discovered that this theory could also be understood through the lens of Transfiguration; no matter how much magic was added, the Water-Making Spell retained its essence.

Moreover, this theory has room for further research and can be applied to more magical knowledge.

There's a sense that different paths lead to the same destination; whatever approach you choose to understand something, as long as it leads to positive progress, it's a suitable way to understand it.

Sprout's deep knowledge of the Water-Making Spell stemmed from her love of Herbology, which led her to study other spells so she could better care for various plants.

To avoid certain extreme situations, she could even imbue the Water-Making Spell with Potions effects, using it as temporary fertilizer.

Unbeknownst to them, the morning sun shone even brighter, and the sleeping Hogwarts Castle was awakening.

Footsteps came from the direction of the first greenhouse, and Hannah Abbott appeared at the door.

"Good morning, Professor Sprout..." Hanna looked around the Greenhouse Two and exclaimed with some surprise, "Wizet, what are you doing here?"

Sprout chuckled and said, "He and Luna came to help too. I thought today would be quite busy, but since you all came, my day is much easier!"
