Rain Would Nourish the Earth When It Fell
"Darkness descends!" Septima Vector chanted the spell, and a cloud of Black Mist appeared at the tip of her wand.
"This is the whole process of cracking it. Because the Wand-Lighting Charm is very simple, the whole process of cracking it is actually not too difficult."
Wizet closed her notebook, nodded, and said, "Arithmancy is amazing! It allows you to obtain the Arithmancy gestures, tone of voice, and incantations..."
"Thus, a complete spellcasting process is constructed... Professor Vector, I observed that your spellcasting actions... are at a relatively stable speed. Is there any special reason for this?"
"Very perceptive! Slowness is a characteristic of Arithmancy," Septima Vector said with a smile. "That hand gesture just now wasn't something I deliberately slowed down..."
"Instead, the process needs to be smooth, so it has to be slow and steady. That's why Curse-Breaker are usually hired by Gringotts."
"Those Wizard Ruins are the right place for them," she said slowly. "They won't face so many battles and will have enough time to use Arithmancy."
"Let's see the results!" She waved her wand, and the Black Mist at the tip of the wand quickly dissipated. "But you can feel the change using only the most basic Wand-Lighting Charm."
"Okay!" Wizet quickly cast the Guardian Meditation to capture the process of the code being broken. "Lumos Solem!"
Septima Vector slowly flicked her wand, and finally uttered a low incantation. "Darkness descends!"
The halo of light from the Wand-Lighting Charm gradually dimmed, just as the spell had said, as it was gradually enveloped by the approaching darkness until it disappeared completely.
A thin Black Mist, like smoke or fog, replaced the original halo and floated in mid-air.
"Mr. Lovegood, you can feel it..." She moved her wand, revealing the Black Mist to Wizet.
Wizet reached out, merely probing the edge of the Black Mist. Although she didn't make direct contact, she still felt a chill.
It was a coldness unlike any other kind of chill; if he had to describe it, it was similar to the feeling he had when he first went to the Potions Classroom and first met Snape.
"Find out which properties it used to break the Wand-Lighting Charm," Septima Vector said. "Here's a little homework for you..."
Following her intuition, Wizet said, "Professor Vector, the number 2 in the ' Kabbalah Tree of Life ' represents the characteristic of 'wisdom'..."
"Extending from 'wisdom,' then the characteristic used here is... the so-called 'absolute rationality'? Hence, it has a unique sense of coldness?"
Remembering what Septima Vector had just said, he quickly asked, "Professor Vector, you mentioned... assigning a small homework assignment. What is it about?"
"You've finished your assignment," Septima Vector shook her head and smiled. "I was going to have you find out the properties of this magic, but you've already said it out loud."
"Homework..." Wizet murmured, "Professor Vector, if I want to study Arithmancy in more depth and explore more related content..."
"Could you please recommend some relevant books for me? The library has so many books, I'd like to find a slightly easier way..."
"Of course, no problem!" Septima Vector said immediately. "Arithmancy is such a discipline; it requires not only a lot of calculations but also the accumulation of experience..."
"I'll collect some practice questions for you. If you're interested, you can try to complete them... If you have any questions, you can come to the office to ask."
Wizet quickly replied, "Thank you so much!"
"It's alright!" Septima Vector waved her wand, causing the Black Mist to dissipate into the air. "Mr. Lovegood, it seems we're a little late..."
"Mr. Kona just mentioned... the next class is Charms Class. How about I write you a note and explain it to Professor Flitwick for you?"
"Professor Vector, thank you for your concern!" Wizet said with a smile. "There's still plenty of time; I won't be late."
After saying goodbye to Septima Vector, he went to a secluded corridor, took the Marauder's Map out of his pocket, and declared, "I solemnly swear that I will not do anything good!"
He quickly located the relevant area and observed the corridor to see if any other students were lingering there.
After making sure all the students were in the classroom, he transformed into the Phoenix Animagus and disappeared in a flash of fire.
In a corridor not far from the Charms Classroom, the Phoenix Animagus flew out of the flames and returned to human form.
"New school year, new look! I can't be late!" Wizet carefully wiped her notebook and stepped into the Charms Classroom.
After lunch, it started raining again outside.
With the help of the Water and Fire Resistance Spell, Wizet and Luna followed the path to Hagrid's hut.
"It's been raining a lot these past few days..." Wizet said, looking into the distance. In the thick clouds, there seemed to be ghostly figures.
"Where Dementor gather, it always seems to rain... I wonder if the current weather is related to Dementor?"
"Perhaps?" Luna stretched out her hand, cupped it into a bowl shape, and collected the raindrops together, forming a single droplet.
She sprinkled the raindrops around her, and the raindrops fell on the grass and then seeped into the ground.
She smiled slightly and said, "When the rain falls, it nourishes the earth and allows life to sprout..."
"Perhaps this rain is a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always hope and a new beginning."
"Yes!" Looking at Luna's smiling face, Wizet nodded, feeling an incomparably pleasant tranquility.
The two had barely seen Hagrid's Hut when Fang came running out.
Fang wagged its tail rapidly, whimpering as it circled around them. Raindrops spread across Fang's body, turning into a misty haze.
"Water and Fire Repelling!" Luna picked up her wand and cast an Water and Fire Resistance Spell on Fang as well. "Fang! Take us to Hagrid!"
Fang sensed the changes in her body, let out an excited cry, leaped forward a few steps, and looked back every three steps to help guide them, leading Wizet and Luna into the Forbidden Forest.
However, Wizet and his group did not venture deep into the Forbidden Forest Forbidden Forest, but instead walked along its outer perimeter, soon arriving at a small enclosure.
Hagrid, wielding a massive hammer, busied himself in the small paddock, humming an off-key tune as he made final reinforcements to the enclosure.
When he heard the babbling sound, he quickly looked up and saw Vizette Luna, a look of joy spreading across his face.
Hagrid quickly put down the huge hammer and ran out of the small paddock in a few strides. "Wizet! Luna! How heavy the rain is! Aren't you eager to see them?"
