Chapter 0013 Toad and Savior

_____________________________________________________________

After being stunned by Ye Ting's disarming curse, Ron Weasley seemed to be frightened and even stammered: "I... I know... I know."

He swallowed his saliva and finally recovered: "I... I don't like cats. I thought he came in to eat my Scabbers."

"Himari won't eat such a strange thing." Ye Ting shook his head. He knew that mouse Scabbers was the animagus of Peter Pettigrew but he was not going to expose Peter right now, because it would put him in a state of doubt - you, a Muggle who had just entered the magical world, would know so much?

Himari also moved away from Ron and his mouse, and obviously found the weirdness from Scabbers.

Ye Ting took Himari into his arms, then he introduced himself to Harry and Ron.

Finally, he explained, "We came here to help Neville find his toad."

"But Neville was already sitting in this compartment." Harry Potter pointed out this point doubtfully.

Neville behind him also nodded in agreement.

Now, the girls all cast suspicious eyes at Ye Ting.

"Look, Himari did not make a mistake." Ye Ting curled his lips, and HimDi also threw disdainful eyes at everyone, despising their doubts about her.

She jumped off Ye Ting's shoulder, jumped lightly into a suitcase, and then scratched it with her cat claws.

"This is my luggage." Neville blurted out.

Ye Ting motioned him to open his luggage bag: "Himari means that your toad is hiding in it."

"Trevor can't be in there, because I sorted out the suitcase myself. If Trevor were there, I would have known it long ago." Neville muttered, but at Ye Ting's insistence, he reluctantly opened his suitcase.

As a result, as Ye Ting expected, as soon as the suitcase was opened, a toad jumped out as if he had finally got it out.

With the appearance of Toad, the truth came out.

Neville went along the corridor and asked each compartment one by one, wasting a long time.

But in fact, Trevor has always been in his suitcase.

Now Himari raised her eyebrows and exhaled. She walked back and forth in front of everyone with her head held high, like an arrogant rooster.

The girls looked at her proud and lovely appearance, and their hearts were about to melt.

They were not stingy in praise, but they thought that they could touch Himari with their own hands.

But Himari ran back to her master's arms lightly and did not miss the little sisters who praised her.

Seeing that the matter was solved, the two groups of people who did not fight and didn't know each other began to introduce themselves one after another.

When the black-haired boy with glasses said his name: "Harry Potter", it caused a lot of exclamation.

"Is it really you?" Hermione was a little excited.

"I know everything about you. Of course - I bought several additional reference books, The History of Modern Magic, The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts, and Great Wizarding Events of the 20th Century, all of which mention you.

Hearing the news, Harry Potter looked puzzled. He never knew he was so famous.

But in fact, as an example of fighting against the Dark Lord and escaping from death, Harry Potter has long become a celebrity in the wizarding world.

Marietta and Cho Chang couldn't do more but look at him. Cho Chang lived in the muggle world most of the time and entered the wizarding world for only a year, so she had no actual feelings about it.

But Marietta is different. She even wants to ask Potter for an autograph.

Compared with them, Ye Ting was much calmer. He just expressed a little surprise, and then chatted with Harry and Ron, who was ignored by Harry's limelight, which made Harry and Ron impressed.

Harry felt that Ye Ting didn't just want to come forward to know him because of his fame, but Ron was moved. Ye Ting did not only pay attention to the famous Harry Potter, but also ignored him.

Now, he even forgot the conflict that Ye Ting flew his wand a few minutes ago.

Next, Ye Ting took the girls and left.

After they left, Ron cast envious and jealous eyes at his back.

"Isn't he just a little handsome?" He complained angrily to Harry, "He can sit in a compartment with three girls. Although he is a good guy, I dare say that anyone who walks with him will never be noticed by any girl."

Harry nodded in agreement. Although both of them thought Ye Ting was a good person, boys always united against handsome men.

On the other side, the handsome man in their mouth hugged Himari and returned to the compartment with the three girls helplessly.

Along the way, Hermione has been talking to Marietta about Harry Potter and Voldemort. One of them, has read many books about the magical world, and the other whose parents work in the Ministry of Magic and are well informed. They chatted happily about these gossip topics and exclaim from time to time.

Cho Chang, who also listened attentively to their topic and echoed two sentences from time to time. Only Ye Ting, who was not very talkative, had nothing to say around, so he began to read his own books.

Chapter 0014 Disarming Charm and Scientific Theory

Ye Ting was not bored reading alone, but soon the topic of the girls turned to him.

They talked about the spell he had just released and the way to move the wand.

Hermione, who likes to get to the bottom of the matter, first asked him questions.

"What spell did you just use?" She asked, "The wand of that redhead guy was blown away all of a sudden."

"That's the disarming charm." Ye Ting casually replied, "This is the most commonly used magic in wizard duels. The spell is 'Expelliarmus'."

"I know this!" Marietta rushed to say, "I remember that this spell was mentioned in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but the professor said that we won't learn this spell until the higher grade."

"You can use such a complicated spell! How did you do it?" Ye Ting, who is also Muggle, could use such a spell, which was obviously a blow to Hermione, so she couldn't wait to ask him the trick.

"Actually--" Ye Ting explained, "This spell is not complicated. It's better to say that of all the spells that can be used for confrontation, the 'disarming spell' is the simplest. Although this spell does not have a very powerful killing effect and is easy to be blocked by various anti-curses, it has an advantage that other spells can't compare with.

"What is the advantage?" Hermione couldn't wait to ask.

"It is the shortest syllable of the duel spell, which can be used as soon as possible. Using this spell can often take the lead in magic duels.

Hearing this explanation, Cho Chang and Marietta suddenly nodded with great understanding and admired Ye Ting's rich knowledge.

However, Hermione was a little unconvinced. She questioned, "I have never seen such a conclusion in the book that the 'disarming spell' is the shortest - from which book did you see it?" I haven't seen anyone mentioning the pronunciation of different spells in any curse book.

"This is my own conclusion. I compared several simple common duel spells such as coma spells, obstacle spells, full-body bondage spells, dance step curses, etc., and came to this conclusion." Ye Ting replied.

"However, since it is not said in the book, how can you guarantee that this is the right conclusion? You know, these books were written by the greatest wizards, and even they didn't say that. Why can you think you are right?

What a proud child. You don't want to give up. Let me teach you how to be good.

Ye Ting thought so and criticized Hermione in a serious tone.

"Miss Hermione Granger, you must have not studied Muggle science before you were admitted to Hogwarts, have you?"

"Yes... that's right, but what does that have to do with the science of Muggles?" Hermione asked with a blush.

"It's a big deal. Although the science of Muggles is not as convenient and magical, it is very worth it to learn the logic and methods of studying problems. Even the study of magic can also be used as a reference.

"For example, to study the length of the spelling time, I just need to maintain my magic and energy, cast different spells clearly and completely with the same loud voice and speed, and then record the time separately, so that I can roughly compare the length of the spell - this is in science. The control variable method." Ye Ting explained seriously.

"Finally--" he concluded, "The spirit of science tells us that practice can lead to the truth, and blindly believe that authority is undesirable. Even Newton's theory, a great man in the scientific community, has proved to not be true in modern times and has limitations in many ways. So, why do you think that the wizard who wrote these magic textbooks is completely correct? After all, magic is not as strict as science."

"If these predecessors are completely right, how are new curses created? After all, these spells are not mentioned in the books of predecessors. According to your reasoning, the whole wizarding world will never progress again.

This explanation made Marietta, who came from the wizard's family, confused - in fact, many wizards' logical ability was not very good - but Hermione Granger, who came from the Muggle world, and Cho Chang, reluctantly understood what Ye Ting was talking about.

"This is the first time I've heard of such an idea." Cho Chang looked at her peer with some admiration: "You are really a genius to use scientific methods to study magic."

Hermione was told to tears.

She was smart and unconvinced of Ye Ting, but Ye Ting's theory was so reasonable that she could not refute it, which put her in an embarrassing situation: she wanted to refute it but she was speechless, and she couldn't help but apologize.

In the end, she chose to apologize.

"Yes... I'm sorry." She whispered, "I admit that I was wrong. Please forgive me..."

But before she finished speaking, she ran out crying.
