Chapter 20 Mental Defects
Hearing Li Buying say his English name, the male classmate beside him was obviously relieved, glad that he didn't have to say such a difficult name, and curiously said: "Hello North, my name is Terry Boot, I have also met many Chinese people, and their names are not as difficult and strange as yours."
"My parents like a book, so they found two words from it as my name."
Li Buying shrugged. The real parents of the main universe are Chinese Americans, and they came to the United States at the time of their grandparents.
Both parents are very passionate about Chinese classical books. It is said that when they were pregnant with him, they took the two words "Bu Ying" from their favorite "Tao Te Ching" to use.
[The Tao is Chong and it is used or Bu Ying, the deep is like the ancestor of all things], the two words are taken from here.
As for why this name is used? The two words Bu Ying can mean "endless" or "not full". Li Buying doesn't know whether his parents want him to be endless or not arrogant.
He chatted with the classmate next to him from time to time, and soon the party ended. When they were about to leave, Dumbledore stood up and informed the students of the precautions.
First, don't go to the Forbidden Forest. Second, don't go to the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor, which is above the Chamber of Secrets where the Philosopher's Stone is stored.
After singing the school song, a beautiful blonde girl clapped her hands and said, "I am your prefect Penelope Clearwater. Now follow me. I will take you to the Ravenclaw common room!"
Passing through corridors and stairs, Li Buying walked with other students to a high tower on the west side of Hogwarts. Penelope turned back and introduced, "This is the Ravenclaw Tower that belongs to us Ravenclaws."
At this time, the students had been divided into four groups. There were not too many Ravenclaw students. They walked up the spiral staircase and passed a portrait of a knight.
At the top of the Ravenclaw Tower, a bare wooden board blocked their way. There was a bronze ring with an eagle carved on it. Penelope turned back and said loudly:
"This is the bronze eagle door knocker that we are responsible for guarding the door. Only those who answer the correct questions can enter, so sometimes you may all be blocked from the door."
As she said this, the beautiful senior student stood in front of the wooden board and knocked on the door knocker. The bronze eagle on the door knocker twisted and spread its wings and flapped its eyes. It turned to Penelope and asked a brain teaser: "What letter is an animal?"
The class leader thought for a while and said: "B."
Li Buying didn't react for a while. It took a long time before he remembered that this was a homophonic pun. B and Bee are pronounced similarly, that is, bees.
The bronze eagle retracted into the door knocker again, and the old wooden board slowly opened, making people a little worried that it would fall down suddenly.
Walking into the door was a large round room with elegant arched windows on the wall, hung with blue and bronze silk. Ravenclaw students could see the Hogwarts Lake, Forbidden Forest, Quidditch Field and Greenhouse from the arched windows.
The ceiling is a dome with stars on it, and the dark blue carpet below is also decorated with stars. There are tables, chairs, and bookshelves in the room. In the niche opposite the door is a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw.
Penelope opened a door next to the statue and knocked on the door to remind each student:
"This door leads to the dormitory. Boys go to the left and girls go to the right. We don't have many Ravenclaw students, so there are enough rooms. You can find a room to rest by yourself. Basically, two people in a room. If you really want to be with a few friends, you can have up to four people in a room."
"Hey, Boot, do you want to join me?"
Li Buying proposed to Terry Boot. He had already known the red-haired Scotsman in the previous paragraph. He didn't talk much and liked reading books, which shouldn't hinder his learning.
"Oh, of course, thank you for your invitation."
...
After becoming a student at Hogwarts, Li Buying calmed down and didn't think about the task for the time being. Instead, he concentrated on learning magic. After five days, he had some basic concepts of magic in the Harry Potter world he entered.
In addition to the necessary magic power and mental power, wizards have two other important factors in casting spells, one is gestures and the other is sound.
Gestures and sounds have two common functions. One is to form a hint to make oneself sure that they want to cast a spell, and the other is to mobilize a small amount of magic in the body to build a basic [magic base].
Under the effect of mental power blessing the magic base, more magic in the body and in the air will gather together, and finally form a complete magic to be released.
In this case, the magic wand has many functions. If casting magic with bare hands is like boxing, the magic wand is equivalent to a power amplifier.
The first is to increase the control of mental power, and the second is to be more accurate when building a magic base. Therefore, when leaving the magic wand, many powerful wizards can also cast spells because they can accurately achieve the above two points.
Compared with the white magic and black magic in Marvel, which rely on the power of the dimensional demon, the magic in Harry Potter needs to be released by oneself without help from others, so it may be weaker than the white magic and black magic in Marvel.
If white and black magic is borrowing money to buy things (magic), then Harry Potter's magic is to buy things with your own labor, and everything depends on your own mental strength and the magic power you can mobilize.
The disadvantage is that magic is synchronized with your own strength. If your own strength is not strong enough, then magic is not strong enough. There is no big boss behind to help you. The advantage is that you don't have to pay back the debt.
As for why there are two completely different situations between wizards and Muggles in Harry Potter, there are different opinions in the history books of the wizarding world. Li Buying did not pay too much attention to it. Anyway, he can cast spells.
As for whether he has magic power in his body, or whether he relies solely on mental power to cast spells, Li Buying believes that he does. "Magic Theory" says that as long as the mental power is strong, the magic power will be attracted into the body, even just a little.
But in the process of learning magic, he quickly encountered the first and most critical problem——
As mentioned above, mental power is still required to perform magic. However, Li Buying's soul is still in a damaged state, so what will happen if a damaged soul mobilizes mental power?
The answer is excruciating pain.
…
"Transform quickly!"
This was a Transfiguration class. Professor McGonagall motioned for everyone to turn matches into needles. When everyone started, Li Buying also picked up his wand, waved it and recited a spell.
While he was chanting, a sharp tingling sensation suddenly surged out and attacked Li Buying's brain. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He held back the severe pain and cast the spell. The match in front of him began to shake crazily, and the violent magic power converged on the match. And go.
Just when Professor McGonagall was about to cast [Spell Stop] to stop Li Buying's spell, the violent magic suddenly stopped, the shaking match turned into a silver needle, and Li Buying, who was sweating all over, almost fell to his knees.
