Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 6 The First Magic Skill

Mary hesitated because Transfiguration itself is magic and has lethality.

And Li William is just a six-year-old child, and he may hurt others or himself if he is not careful.

So!

If you want her to agree, you must solve the point of her hesitation

Thinking!

"Show me!"

Li William pretended to be a child who couldn't wait, and took the standard spell beginner in Mary's hand while she was hesitant.

After simply flipping through two pages, he pretended to be ignorant and said, "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide? I like this! But do I need a wand? Should I buy the wand at the wand store that mom just mentioned?"

Here I have to mention it.

In the magic world, the wand is a very important thing. If magic is compared to a stone, then the wand is equivalent to a slingshot. Only with a slingshot can the stone fly out.

Of course, if there is no slingshot, you can throw the stone as far as the slingshot with your bare hands, but the difficulty is not something that ordinary people can do!

And this is his little trick.

Didn't Mary think that Transfiguration was magic and had lethality, and that a child learning it might hurt others or himself?

Then Li William reminded him that even if there was a spell, it would be useless. Wizards needed a wand to release magic, and they couldn't release it without a wand, so it was okay to let him read this book.

In this way, Mary would naturally stop him!

Just as he expected!

Mary was also awakened.

That's right!

This book is good at teaching spells, but if there is no wand, it is impossible to release it unless you master the advanced technique of wandless casting.

But the advanced technique of wandless casting, let alone children, even she and most adult wizards can't master it.

Only some top wizards in the wizarding world, such as Snape, Dumbledore, or wizards who specialize in a certain magic, can also cast that magic without a wand.

But to practice a magic to that level, its difficulty is quite terrifying, and it is definitely not something a child can achieve!

In this case, it seems that there should be no problem for Li William to read this book?

Mary, who had the answer, did not hesitate any longer and smiled and said, "This is a book about magic, and if you want to use the magic in it, you must have a wand!"

"However, according to the rules of the wizarding world, you can only have a wand after you are eleven years old!"

"So, there is no problem with you reading this book, but you can't have a wand!"

"Oh!"

After a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in Li William's eyes, he showed a look of sudden realization on the surface, and said obediently, "Then I will just read the book!"

Without a wand, it is indeed a problem for releasing magic.

But for him, this is not a problem!

As long as there is enough internal volume value, it can be added to the skill to cast without a wand, isn't it?

This is why he mentioned that he can't cast without a wand.

If he can't cast without a wand, then he will never mention this to make things difficult for himself.

And speaking.

He also lowered his head and began to flip through the book, ready to study quickly!

At this time, Mary smiled and said, "Baby, let's buy this book back and read it slowly!"

They came to Diagon Alley to play this time. If Li William reads a book here, they, as adults, can only accompany him. The Klee Bookstore is not a fun place. If they accompany him, it will be a waste of time.

"Okay!" Li William responded immediately.

It's obviously better to buy it back and read it slowly!

And then!

Mary took Li William to the cashier, put the book on the table, and said, "Hello, I want this book!"

"Okay, I'll charge you one gold galleon!" The staff said and packed the book.

Mary took out a gold coin from her pocket and put it on the table.

Immediately, the staff collected the gold coin and gave the packaged book to Mary.

Mary handed it to Li William.

Li William also took the book happily.

"Gold coin?"

At this time, Li Wenhua on the side looked at the currency that Mary had just given, but he was a little curious.

Mary heard this and explained, "This is the gold Galleon, the currency unique to the magic world. All consumption in the magic world must be done with this currency!"

"Oh!" Li Wenhua suddenly realized it.

But then!

He asked curiously, "Can the Sakura Pound be exchanged for this thing?"

"Of course, five Sakura Pounds can be exchanged for one!" Mary responded casually.

Five Sakura Pounds?

In an instant, Li Wenhua's eyes lit up.

Although he had not learned about it and did not know the specific price of gold outside, he knew that no matter how much five Sakura Pounds were, they would definitely not buy one gram, not to mention that the gold coin looked more than one gram!

If you can exchange five Sakura Pounds for a gold coin and then sell it outside, wouldn't you make a fortune?

Thinking of this, Li Wenhua became more and more excited.

Immediately, he couldn't wait to say, "Where can I exchange it? I want to exchange some?"

As soon as these words came out!

Mary immediately explained, "This thing can be exchanged in the white building called Gringotts at the end of the street. Gringotts is the bank of the wizarding world!"

After a pause, she showed a half-smiling expression, as if she had seen through everything, and said, "However, if you want to exchange Ying pounds for gold galleons, and then take it outside to exchange, I advise you to die. Get this idea!”

"Well"

Li Wenhua scratched his head in embarrassment when his thoughts were read, and then asked curiously, "Why?"

Mary smiled and explained, "First of all, under normal circumstances, gold galleons and cherry pounds cannot be exchanged for each other!"

"The reason why I mentioned that the five-pound pound can be exchanged for gold galleons is because Hogwarts, Gringotts, and the Ministry of Magic discussed each other and provided it specifically to some Muggles, that is, ordinary people who do not have the currency of the wizarding world and need it. Currency is exchanged by the little wizards who buy books!”

"Furthermore, this is not infinitely redeemable. It can only be exchanged for a maximum of one hundred gold galleons a year, and it can be provided until the student graduates from Hogwarts!"

"Finally, you don't think this thing is pure gold, do you?"

At the end of the sentence, Mary showed a joking expression.

"Isn't it pure gold?" Li Wenhua asked doubtfully.

"of course not!"

Mary smiled and said, "This thing is just a bit of gold, mixed with magic. If you sell it for five pounds each, you won't even lose money!"

"oh!"

Li Wenhua suddenly realized.

After that, Mary added another sentence and said sternly, "Although the outside world in the magic world doesn't know, it is not completely cut off from the outside world. Every year, many young wizards from ordinary people enter, so the bottom of the magic world may not know about the outside world. situation, but the higher-ups probably know the general situation of the outside world!”

"Among them, they know everything about the price of gold!"

After saying that, she paused and joked, "After all, there are a lot of people like you who want to speculate every year!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhua's old face couldn't help but turn red.

Li William, who was on the side, also showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

Anyone who has read Harry Potter will have an idea. If one gold galleung is exchanged for five British pounds, then if you exchange the money for gold galleons and then sell it, wouldn't you make a lot of money?

After all, if Galleons were made of gold, then one Galleons would seem to be worth more than five pounds!

William Li once had such an idea.

Now he knew that this idea was not feasible.

However, if you think about it, you will know that although the magic world is isolated from the world, they are not all fools. How could they leave such a big bug?

Moreover!

Young wizards of Muggle origin enter the magical world every year. If such a big bug had been discovered long ago, how could it remain until now?

Then, the three of them left the bookstore and started shopping again.

——

That night!

William Li also returned home.

The first thing I did when I got home was to go back to my room and open the Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration and read it.

After a long time!

There is an extra column in his skill list.
