Hogwarts Asylum
41. Aren’t we learning magic?
In the corridor, Hermione rolled her eyes and screamed: "Neville, you can't give them copies of your homework anymore. If the professors ask questions by name in class in the future, and they can't answer anything, we will You will be deducted a lot of points!”
"What are you afraid of," Ron said confidently, "Our current house score is many points ahead of other houses. With you and Malfoy as two sphinxes, our house score will only rise."
As he said that, Ron reached out and gestured from low to high. Compared to the pain of doing homework, he would rather accept Malfoy as one of them. At least this Malfoy is much better than other Malfoys, right? I understand. Polite, but not stinky.
Of course, if Malfoy was nearby, Ron would definitely not be able to say such things.
Speaking of the somewhat annoying Malfoy, Hermione fell into deep self-doubt.
From the first day of class, Malfoy had been stealing the limelight from her in class. Not only did he answer questions fluently with the professors, he often asked questions that even the professors had never considered.
The most egregious thing is that he actually occupied many professors’ after-class Q&A time!
At first, Hermione actively got ahead of Malfoy, or asked one question after another, which allowed her to learn a lot of things she had never seen in books.
But gradually, the questions Malfoy asked became more and more profound. They were all English words, but combined, it was difficult for Hermione to understand them.
This feeling is really too uncomfortable. How can a first-year wizard start reading textbooks for fourth or fifth grade now? Haven't the professors said that it is very dangerous for a young wizard to learn magic across grades?
Forget it, there are no textbooks for higher grades in the library. Hermione could memorize them all if she spent more time. However, Malfoy became more and more outrageous with his questions. He even started asking Muggle physics and chemistry questions. !
Aren't we learning magic?Why study physics and chemistry?
Although Professor Snape had been making things difficult for Malfoy in class, which made Hermione feel a little happy, and even thought Professor Snape was not a bad person, Malfoy actually confused Professor Snape with a chemistry question after class. !
Why do you get gold by pouring a bottle of orange powder into water and then throwing an iron block into it?Why? ?
Ever since she witnessed iron turning into gold in water, Hermione began to doubt whether her IQ was as high as she thought. She asked herself, could she do this?The answer is of course no.
As a result, Hermione felt a deep sense of frustration. She often wondered whether, in Malfoy's eyes, she was the same as other classmates in her eyes.
Since then, Hermione has given up the Q&A time after class. She always felt that the questions she asked were too childish.
Although Professor McGonagall would sometimes compliment Hermione on how much she looked like when she was in school, this did not bring much comfort to Hermione, because she felt that this name was more appropriate for Malfoy.
However, Hermione did not give up. She never gave up. Apart from eating, going to class, and sleeping, she spent the rest of her time in the library, desperately absorbing knowledge, waiting for the day when she could surpass Malfoy.
At this time, Draco, who was being watched by several classmates, was looking for Professor Sinistra to ask questions.
As the knowledge in his mind became more and more abundant and he ran to Mr. O'Loughlin more and more often, Draco realized his ignorance more and more clearly.
Draco felt very embarrassed when he thought of the shameless self he once had. Just like some people who look back at the remarks they made during their second year of high school when they grow up, wishing they could go back in time, beat themselves up, or even kill themselves. All thoughts are there.
Even Harry Potter, whom Draco once dreamed of being friends with, was no longer too fond of him. He felt that Potter was a bit unworthy of his reputation, and he didn't look like he could defeat the mysterious man at all. He was very naive.
Therefore, Draco, who fantasized about becoming a great alchemist like Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he had seen in books who had achieved immortality and was immortalizing himself, would always have some untimely impulses. I told myself in my heart: No, that would be a waste of time, and there are still many questions I still don’t understand.
Although Draco didn't understand why Mr. O'Loughlin insisted on asking him to ask professors of various subjects if he had questions instead of telling him the answer directly, he felt that this might be a test.
As his father said in the letter, Mr. O'Loughlin is a very outstanding alchemist. His alchemy heritage is extremely long. Such people generally do not easily accept disciples, so Draco must seize the opportunity. .
Of course Draco thought so too. He guessed that the reason why Mr. O'Loughlin did not teach alchemy, an elective course for sixth and seventh grade students, but chose to be the director of some kind of spiritual asylum, must be because of O'Loughlin. The alchemy mastered by Mr. is a very rare and precious secret!
So in order to start learning alchemy as soon as possible, Draco would stay in the classroom after every get out of class and ask a lot of questions to the professors.
He also noticed at the beginning that there was a female classmate with messy hair - she seemed to be named Granger. She often followed him to ask questions, but these days she rarely showed up after class, but she was still active in class. Raise your hand to answer the question.
But Draco didn't care. As Mr. O'Loughlin said, when growing up, one is often lonely. Only by enduring loneliness can one become a great alchemist.
Just like now, although he was left alone in the astronomy tower without any classmates waiting for him, and only Seamus came over and said to leave first, he didn't care. He had begun to get used to and enjoy this kind of loneliness.
"Professor Sinistra, I have read some contents in Muggle physics books, but I have some questions." Draco held a heavy physics tome.
Sinistra was a little confused as to why this little wizard would read Muggle physics books, but she had heard that this platinum-haired little wizard was the most learned one in Gryffindor, and many professors were very good at it. Take a good look at him.
So she said with a smile on her face: "Is it about astronomy? If so, I should be able to answer some questions, but the magic world's research on space is different from that of Muggles, so I can't guarantee that I can answer your questions. All questions.”
"It's about celestial bodies." Draco nodded with certainty.
Professor Sinistra motioned for Draco to continue.
"A Muggle named Karl Schwarzschild, through calculations, came to the conclusion that there is an interface in the universe from which even light cannot escape.
Later, a Muggle named John Wheeler named this interface 'Black Hole'.
Muggles believe that black holes are a type of celestial body, but I didn't find any magical book in the library describing such a celestial body.
And through the telescope, I didn't see any celestial objects that fit the description of a black hole.
So I want to ask you, are black holes real?Or is it just Muggle imagination?
If black holes really exist, can you evolve them like you just evolved the solar system?What magic can we get from black holes? "
"What are you afraid of," Ron said confidently, "Our current house score is many points ahead of other houses. With you and Malfoy as two sphinxes, our house score will only rise."
As he said that, Ron reached out and gestured from low to high. Compared to the pain of doing homework, he would rather accept Malfoy as one of them. At least this Malfoy is much better than other Malfoys, right? I understand. Polite, but not stinky.
