In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Neville did not know how a normal 11-year-old boy jumped this high.

But he is sure of one thing, as long as this boy is a normal person, even if he had a spring under his feet, it is impossible for a boy to jump a few feet high.

Unless the boy is a giant baby, then even if he is only 11 years old his height would already exceed two meters.

But it is unlikely that Jon has giant blood, yet he just jumped up to that height, enough to meet eye to eye with Hagrid, the tallest in Hogwarts, and the ceiling of the wagon obviously restricted his ability to exert his full capability, otherwise, three meter is certainly not his limit.

And before he accomplished this feat, he had recited an outrageously mispronounced levitation charm!

"How did you do that?"

Neville looked dumbfounded at Jon who had fallen to the ground, whose face flushed with excitement as he rubbed his head in pain, completely unable to figure out how this kind of thing that defied the magic system was done; Jon obviously used an incorrect incantation of a levitation charm.

Jon clearly misjudged the buff effect of the levitation charm on his body, after it took effect, he could feel his body roughly about half of his previous weight, originally he thought that even if he jumped up harder, it was impossible to jump to a height of three meters, but three meters are obviously not enough.

Roughly judging by the fact that his head was knocked dizzy, Jon felt that if there was no ceiling to restrict, he could at least jump to more than four meters, or even a little more if he worked on his strength and muscle power, if he exercised more usually, more than five meters would not be out of the question.

What this implies, Jon himself knows very well.

His height is about one and a half meters, and the ceiling of the wagon is over three meters and twenty centimetres, which means the height he has just taken off the ground is more than one and a half meters.

And the world record for the standing high jump was only one meter eighty-three in his previous life!

If there is no ceiling to confine; when his body develops and grows; if he usually exercises more, Jon is confident enough to jump more than double this height.

A single leap from the ground to reach more than three meters high has far exceeded the natural limits of human physiology.

And he could clearly feel that the benefits brought to him by the levitation charm certainly not only reflected in the standing high jump above, as long as he became more familiar with this feeling now, he certainly would also be able to run faster and become more responsive in his movements.

In the wizarding world where the majority of magic used in a battle focused on firing skills, possessing such dexterity that surpasses that of ordinary people is similar to using a cheat code when playing online games- 'Modding'.

Jon, who was incredibly happy, didn't forget to answer Neville's question.

"Just like what you saw earlier, reciting the incantation, and then a jump."

He was of course joking, but the honest Neville apparently took it seriously, he raised his wand with an unfathomable expression and also used the levitation charm according to the same kind of pronunciation as Jon.

In the end, there was no effect like what happened on Jon's end, other than the incorrect incantation putting his holiday homework on fire.

After scrambling to put out the fire, Neville actually thought his wand was the problem, he placed his wand aside and recited the incantation once again, his clumsy movements were comparable to a dumb hippo that was trying to escape and ended up jumping in the same place with uncoordinated limbs.

"How the hell did you do that?"

After two failed attempts, Neville once again looked at Jon with incredulity.

This time Jon did not lie to him further and said seriously.

"I told you before, Professor Slughorn taught me something quite different, something that has a high learning threshold, it's not that I don't want to tell you Neville, but I promised my teacher that I won't tell anyone about this."

Neville could understand Jon's statement, the Longbottom family is an ancient wizard family with a historical heritage, and he knew that although wizards are mostly taught about magic in the academy, some spells are still passed on privately between master and disciple or father and son.

At the same time without Jon asking him, he took the initiative to say that he would keep this matter a secret and would not talk about it to anyone.

After spending half of the school year together, Jon certainly believed in Neville's character.

Besides, even if he said it out, it's nothing, since he learned this kind of magic he is bound to use it in the future, so sooner or later others will know.

The great physical change did not stop Jon from checking his weight on the scale. When he measured his weight this time, he was half as weight, as usual, roughly 16 kg.

He was unable to calculate the specific digital measurement for the time being; nevertheless, even if his weight was reduced by half, there was no change in his body functions, and even after his bouncing ability and speed enhanced, there was no exaggerated change in his body.

Perhaps when he jumped upward, the levitation charm itself provided him with an upward force, allowing him to jump higher with greater ease.

But soon Jon pushed the excitement down and resisted the urge to run to Slughorn's office to inform him of his success, and sat back down at his desk to work on the next syllable combination.

Neville was very puzzled by his actions.

"Haven't you already managed to figure it out? What else do you want?"

Jon shook his head as he said in a serious voice.

"I think, this syllable combination has only demonstrated its most significant effect so far, before I can try out all the other possible combinations, I can't definitely say that it is the most suitable one, and just this level is not enough to meet my initial expectation."

"What was your initial expectation?"

Jon said without looking up while writing the next syllable combination on the parchment with a quill.

"The normal effect of the levitation charm is what I am expecting."

Neville didn't initially react much to his words, and only after some careful thought, his eyes widened.

"You still want to float!"

"The point of the levitation charm is to levitate from the ground, right?"

Jon said and started the next incantation attempt again.

Even though he had already seen the effect of Jon's levitation charm successfully exerted on his body once, Neville still found it difficult to accept Jon's "fantasy".

After all, even in this world of magic, what Jon had done was like the magic of magic.

However, he did not say anything further, he got slapped in the face once before, so Neville would not be stupid enough to stick his face out for a second hit.

In the face of Jon, who could not be any longer seen with conventional eyes, he chose to keep his reservations and observe for now, in case one day when he returned to the dormitory he really saw Jon floating in the air.

For the next three days, Jon never left his dorm room except for eating, constantly trying various syllable combinations of levitation charm pronunciation, but he did not find another syllable combination that could surpass the one from before so far.

Just when he was about to continue his stay in his room until the end of the Christmas holidays, Ron, Justin and the gang eagerly knocked on Jon's dormitory door.
