A month does not seem to be a long time in a person's life, even if it is placed in a year, the same is true.
However, for a young wizard who is in the period of rapid growth, this time is enough time for some obvious changes to occur.
After Tom adapted to Hogwarts's learning and began to study continuously, his progress was almost visible to the naked eye.
Some of the magic knowledge and some magic skills that Grindelwald instilled in him during his initial enlightenment stage are now taking root.
On Charms, he made very good progress in the application and expansion of Levitation Charm, and he even began to have some ideas, such as using Levitation Charm to realize the wizard's own floating or even flying.
Because flying on a broomstick is too unseemly.
This is something Tom has wanted to complain about for a long time. Flying Class only has it in the first grade, and it only happens once every two weeks, but only two classes make him very repulsive to brooms.
Not to mention that those old-looking brooms would make people worry that they would fall apart at some point, and the act of summoning a broom seemed pretty stupid to him.
Although he behaved very appropriately with the professor, the disgust in his heart was already overflowing.
Not to mention, after that, they have to fly into the air on broomsticks, which is simply too unpleasant.
How could a true nobleman do such an indecent act--
You think, when you are riding a broom and flying over other people's heads, your lower body is clearly visible to others. This kind of behavior is tantamount to walking naked on the street. The only person who can like this kind of thing is a pervert...
Even if you don't fly over other people's heads, if someone else's broom flies over your head, if you accidentally look up, the scene will be very unpleasant...
Tom originally thought that those reserved Pure-blood Slytherin would have the same objections to such reckless behavior.
But just turning his head and looking at it, he had nothing to say. Those Slytherin little snakes were so excited that they started to fly higher on their broomsticks. If the professor hadn't scolded them in time, maybe they would have rushed to the top of the castle...
Tom had no choice but to show ordinary flying ability, always flying smoothly at a very low level.
This kind of performance seems to indicate that he also has something that he is not good at, but it makes the other little wizards get closer to him.
In the second class, you have to learn to control the flight of a broom and master some flying skills, which makes Tom very tired...
Relying on the flying skills course, the young wizards also began to discuss the matter of Quidditch.
In Slytherin, because almost all of them are from wizard families, they may know more about Quidditch. Under the guidance of their parents, they have seen how many Quidditch Match they have.
So after entering Hogwarts and knowing that there was a Quidditch team in the school, their love for these things exploded.
In addition, the selection of candidates for the school team has gradually begun, which makes them discuss it more frequently.
Tom I don't know what fun it is to have a bunch of wizards flying in the sky on broomsticks and robbing an alchemical creation.
But because of this atmosphere, flying is mentioned again and again. This is also the original intention that led Tom to plan to develop a flying magic that does not require a broom.
In addition to looking far ahead, he plans to use Levitation Charm to develop the lofty ideal of Flying Charm. Speaking of nearby places, researching Lumos has become his biggest gain during this period.
This basic Charms has also been studied by many people in history.
He saw a lot of research on this Charms in the library, such as "Unexpected Uses of Lumos", "Effects of Light of Different Intensities", "Light and Plants"...
A large number of books describe many applications of Charms.
The bright light he used in battle had been used by wizards in the past.
He was even able to continuously increase the intensity of the light, thereby emitting Bright Light Charm!
However, this kind of Charms is too indiscriminate in wizard duels, so it is restricted by Wizards' Council. It is not allowed to appear in closed scenes, and its intensity is also limited...
Of course, this kind of Charms can only cause unexpected effects. As long as you know this method, there are actually many Charms and alchemy items that can prevent such magic.
After reading a lot of books, Tom also gave up the idea of using Lumos in combat.
There is no need, the real value of this Charms is not those.
Tom uses this Charms to control plant growth, and also tries to use Lumos to replicate the changes of the moon.
He has never forgotten that his rare failure as a child was because Mo Fei planned to teach him how to make Pure Water, but failed in the end...
It was obviously carried out according to the operation of Mo Fei, but the quality of the final product was obviously problematic.
He also remembered this while reading in the library.
To this end, he read many books, intending to find a description of Pure Water, and find the reason for his failure in Hogwarts.
But there seemed to be not much information about Pure Water here. Finally, he found some descriptions in a book called "Medieval Secrets"--
"... In that era, Muggle had a magical skill in their hands. They kept longing for the moon, eager to get a magical potion that could resolve all toxins... Later, they succeeded, but also failed... The crystal clear liquid seemed to reflect the shadow of the moon... But it could not resolve toxins and could not play any magical role..."
"... Later, those magical liquids were accidentally discovered by a wizard, and they suddenly discovered the function of this liquid... It is simply Alchemy's universal neutralizer. With its existence, many powerful materials can be fused, resulting in even more surprising effects..."
"... However, the production of this kind of liquid seems to be a very mysterious thing. After trying for several years, those wizards had no choice but to admit that this is an ability unique to Muggle, and wizards absolutely cannot do it..."
"... Other wizards later carried out reproduction and research, and finally discovered the reason - the magic power in the wizard's body will naturally contaminate that liquid. It seems that that liquid cannot come into contact with any other mysteries... Young wizards who have not yet had a magic riot, or who have just ended a magic riot, may be able to do it, but the effect is very poor... This kind of liquid does not seem to naturally belong to wizards..."
"... For that reason, this liquid seemed to have become the trump card of those Muggle at that time. Some of them used this liquid and asked wizards for help, and they did a lot of great things..."
After having these vague descriptions, Tom actually knew where to look for relevant information.
So, he went to the Alchemy area to look for books related to the ancient Alchemy.
Sure enough, "A Brief Introduction to Ancient Alchemy", "Advanced Alchemy Materials"... several books have related descriptions, and Tom also learned about the scarcity of Pure Water for the first time...
According to the explanation in the book, there is no way to make this material now. Almost all ancient families still have it in stock. Therefore, research on it will no longer be carried out.
But there is some speculation in the book that the production of Pure Water seems to be related to the halo and mystery of the moon.
Therefore, Tom wants to see if Lumos can be used to simulate the light of the moon...
