"Have all the students at Hogwarts reached this level? Although it's embarrassing to say it, I have to admit that you are better than me at the same age. Perhaps this is why Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to give you some extra lessons."
At this point, Lupin laughed at himself again, and then asked:
"Okay, guys, so what do you want to learn?"
Hearing Lupin's question, Wentworth and Cedric looked at each other, and Cedric shrugged and gestured for Wentworth to answer.
Originally, Cedric had doubts about the werewolf in front of him whom he had never met before. The reason why he was willing to come here today was more to accompany his good brother Wentworth. Moreover, he was really worried about Wentworth being alone in a room with a werewolf.
So, for Cedric, it doesn't matter what he studies.
Wentworth saw that Cedric and Lupin both had their eyes on him, so he stopped hesitating and said directly, "Mr. Lupin, I want to know how to invent spells by myself?"
This is actually something that Wentworth has always wanted to figure out. After all, magic is something that is too idealistic for the education Wentworth received before he traveled through time.
The reason why he wanted to know how to invent spells himself was because Wentworth knew that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Instead of learning a spell, it is better to learn how to invent spells.
Although this seems a bit unrealistic, it may not be impossible to achieve.
Moreover, Snape was able to invent so many powerful spells when he was a student, there is no reason why I can't do it!
However, after hearing Wentworth's question, Lupin was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
Seeing Lupin laughing, Wentworth said in confusion:
"Did I say something wrong, Mr. Lupin?"
Lupin smiled and waved his hand and said:
"No, no, Wentworth, your idea is good, but inventing a spell is not as easy as you think."
Having said that, Lupin suddenly put away the smile on his face, and then looked at Wentworth with some sharp eyes.
Seeing that Lupin was staring at Wentworth, Cedric on the side even subconsciously took a step forward and tightened his wand.
But at this moment, Lupin said: "Remember, Wentworth, before you have enough knowledge and sufficient magic power, don't try to invent a spell by yourself!"
"Inventing a spell is not like cooking. If the dish is not cooked well, I will just not eat it, but if the spell goes wrong, you may never have a chance to start over. Do you understand?"
Hearing Lupin's solemn warning, Wentworth couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly.
I almost forgot that in the original book, there were more than one character whose life was taken away due to accidents caused by spells. And I, who am just a freshman at Hogwarts, am actually trying to go into areas that many powerful wizards dare not touch. It's like a dung beetle lighting a lamp and looking for shit.
Thinking of this, Wentworth couldn't help but ask, "Then Mr. Lupin, what kind of wizard can try to invent a spell?"
Facing Wentworth's question, Lupin thought for a moment, and then slowly replied:
After hearing what Lupin said, Wentworth silently kept this elective course in mind and made up his mind to choose this elective course when he was in his third year.
Then, Wentworth couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Mr. Lupin, have you ever tried to invent a spell yourself?"
Lupin smiled, as if he was lost in some memories. He looked forward with empty eyes and said slowly: "Of course, I think there are very few wizards who can resist the temptation of a brand new spell. When I was about your age, I also had similar thoughts. Especially when someone around you succeeds!"
"I know a wizard who is at the same level as me. Although I have never gotten along with him, I have to say that he has a lot of magical talent. And that man invented the hanging bell that you just used."
Hearing Lupin's words, Cedric said in surprise:
"In the same grade as you? In other words, that wizard invented this magic when he was studying at Hogwarts? Oh my God, it's unbelievable."
Although Lupin did not say it explicitly, Wentworth certainly knew that the person he was talking about was Professor Snape.
At this time, Lupin seemed to come back to his senses, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, boys, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present! Since you can't think of the spell you want to learn for the time being, how about I decide it?"
Faced with Lupin's proposal, Wentworth and Cedric naturally would not refuse.
Seeing that Wentworth and Cedric had no objection, Lupin nodded and said:
"Very good. Today, the first spell I will teach you is a very simple but very practical spell. It is called - Curse Stop. Its effect is also very simple, which is to cancel the effects of other spells. Although it is simple, it can play a key role in certain situations!"
Having said that, Lupin paused and added:
"Of course, this also depends on the difference in strength between the two parties casting the spell. If the difference in strength is too great, the spell will naturally not be effective."
Hearing this, Wentworth suddenly raised his hand. Lupin signaled Wentworth that he could speak, and Wentworth then said: "Mr. Lupin, why is it that the same spell has different powers when used by different people? Is it just because of the difference in magic power?"
Hearing Wentworth's question, Lupin blinked and said jokingly: "Wentworth, are you really from Hufflepuff? I think you might be more suitable for Ravenclaw!"
After saying that, all three of them laughed.
Only after laughing did Lupin begin to explain:
"The amount of magic power only determines the lower limit of the spell! Just like Cedric just now, he has magic power far beyond his peers! Therefore, his lower limit is higher than that of wizards of the same age."
"However, the same spell, with the same magic power, can actually have different powers. And what determines the upper limit of a spell is the strength of the soul! Just like you just now, Wentworth, in my opinion, your soul strength is at least twice that of your peers, as if you have two souls in your body!"
