In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 137: A Case

Hearing Jon's words, Hermione obviously hesitated for a moment, but then she quickly nodded her head slightly and said.

"I thought about it. Magic is very magical, but all the knowledge I learned in muggle school is also objective, I have thought about why wizards and muggles obviously live in the same world but found two completely different rules."

"After coming to the wagon, I also asked Professor Flitwick about this issue, Professor did not know exactly what rules the muggles found, but he told me this: because the wizard has magic, so it causes us and the muggles to see the world differently. Magic is like glasses with a filter so that those who have it and those who do not have it see a different view respectively."

Jon rubbed his chin, he had never talked to Professor Filius about these things, and the glasses' analogy is quite apt.

'So whether this world is the way we look with magic glasses on or the way we see it without the glasses on? Or are these both real, it's just that no one has ever thought of connecting the two parts of the world with each other?'

He mused, thinking differently about his own application of natural science theories to magic.

After chatting with Hermione for a while, Jon didn't waste any time and got straight to the main topic at hand today.

Compared to Neville, Hermione has received a proper muggle primary education and has systematically learned the science related to gravity, which is basically similar to Jon's situation, it's just that Jon has been learning natural science for a longer time than her, and his knowledge is more in-depth.

"Try to use the levitation charm, but when the incantation is recited out, your mind should not think that the charm can make the object float, but rather believe that the effect of the levitation charm is to directly control the gravitational force of the earth, the reason why the object going to float is due to the loss of gravity on it."

Jon's whimsical idea left Hermione somewhat dumbfounded as she held up her wand and asked unsurely.

"Would that actually work?"

Jon was patient as he looked at the wand in Hermione's hand.

"I'm not sure whether this will work for you, but it doesn't cost anything to try, and with Hagrid around to help to keep a watch on things there is little risk, so you can try it out on this rock cakes right now."

Although Hermione felt that Jon's ideas are quite far-fetched, she still in accordance with what he said, and raised her wand, the tip of the wand pointed at the plate of rock-like rock cakes.

"Wingardium Leviosa." She recited the incantation of the levitation charm.

Instead of thinking of making the rock cakes float, as Professor Flitwick had taught her in class, she tried to define the nature of the "making objects float" process, as Jon had said so that the effect of the spell would actually interfere with gravity.

However, in the end, nothing happened.

Hermione's levitation charm is obviously a failure, the rock cakes are still firmly on the plate, and her incantation is standard and unmistakable, but it did not produce any effect.

Jon saw the scene and his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Do you feel anything?" He asked Hermione.

Hermione shook her head.

"No, there is no feeling, I just feel the incantation and waving of the wand are the same as usual, but the intent on casting the spell is extraordinarily screwed up, so when the spell was finished, I could already feel that the magic spell is a failure."

Jon's brow could not help but frown deeper.

Regarding the modification of the magic spell, this result is a bit different from what he expected.

When he first got the ring from Slughorn, he came up with such a way to modify the will and intent of magic to strengthen the effectiveness of the levitation charm, in which the wand and spell did not change, only the intent changed, and the final result was a success.

This made Jon think that such a success is reproducible.

After all, since he came to this world, he did not notice any difference between himself and others.

Since the results can be achieved by him, then why can not be achieved by others?

But now Hermione tried it in front of him, making him suddenly aware of another possibility.

Perhaps it was not that he had found a pathway between magic and science, as Professor Flitwick said, the existence of magic is equivalent to a pair of glasses with a filter, once you put it on, you will see a completely different world than before you put it on.

These two worlds may seem to be the same, but in fact, they are worlds apart, and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to cause a link.

And the reason he was able to succeed himself was not that he discovered a new way of casting spell manifestation, but simply because he is a bit more special than others!

This special levitation charm effect, only he can cast it, others even after listening to what he said, understanding the principle of gravity, and replacing the 'will' to cast the spell, they simply can not do what he did!

Jon stared blankly at the front of the wagon dazed, Hermione looked at his appearance and thought he was devastated by the failure of his experimental attempts, and could not help but purse his lips to comfort him.

"You are already better than a lot of people just for thinking outside the box, Jon. Professor Flitwick told us when he was giving us a remedial lesson about how magic learning sometimes needs some whimsical ideas like this for wizards to progress in their research on magical spells and for the entire magical community to keep moving forward."

Jon came back to his senses, he did not explain much to Hermione, if indeed his personal speciality led to the success of the spell, then it is not good to spread the word about it.

But he has yet to completely reject his previous idea, after all, now only Hermione is an experimental subject, which may have other causes of failure, and it is still not certain that he is special compared to everyone else.

He needs to expand the scope of the experiment, let more students who understand the gravitational force, try to cast spells with this kind of 'will', and come to an accurate conclusion based on the results.

This is not a difficult task, the least shortage on the wagon is muggle students who have received a natural science education, and among the second-year students in the same year as Jon, there is a boy who would have almost entered Eton if he had not come to Hogwarts - Justin Finch-Fletchley.

Just as Jon was thinking of expanding his experiment and asking Hermione to try another spell, a sudden shout of excitement came from Gabrielle on the other side of the driver's seat!

"You did it, Hagrid!"

Hermione and Jon looked together in the direction of Hagrid, the coachman was excitedly holding a long fishing net high, with a string of water drops from the net dripping down the lake to cause ripples to form.

And inside the net, a big fish is writhing, glistening in the bright sunlight!
