NOVEL NEXT Chapter 010
Chapter 10 Lonely Leonard
In the room, Leonard held a branch he picked up from the roadside as a magic wand and followed the tracks in the book, imitating them to the letter.
Next to it, biting cabbage swayed from side to side as Leonard moved, like a puppy looking at a bone.
”Fluorescence flashes.”Leonard shouted, and waved the branch in his hand.
The branch did not respond. This did not make Leonard feel disappointed, but made him feel normal.
Casting without a wand is an advanced skill, and he doesn’t even know magic. How could a rookie perform it so easily?
It’s not that wizards can’t use magic without a wand. In the history of magic, it was mentioned that wizards in Africa almost didn’t use wands because of the lack of corresponding wood.
But that requires quite a bit of effort. The proficiency of African wizards is much slower than that of wizards in other regions.
If Leonard practices diligently, he may also be able to learn this skill.
Because there is no feedback, this behavior seems silly, but Leonard still persists He came down and made sure that his movements were exactly the same as in the book.
Only in this way can he ensure that his learning did not go astray.
During Leonard’s practice, Leonard made excuses to come over several times, but after seeing Leonard He practiced the spells tirelessly and didn’t say anything. He just returned his textbooks one after another.
It seemed that his grandfather had given up on the useless attempt.
Leonard wiped his sweat and rubbed his aching breasts. Wrist, intending to do something else to take a rest.
At this time, there was a knock on his door.
”Come again? Leonard muttered, waved his hand to the biting cabbage next to him, watched it crawl back into the flower pot, and then responded loudly,”Here it comes.””
Opening the door, sure enough, standing outside was his grandfather Leonard. At the same time, he was holding a birdcage with a gray owl in it.
Now even the owl was back.
Leonard With a look of understanding, he took the birdcage from Londo’s hand.
Londo looked at Leonard who was sweating profusely, was silent for a while and said,”I’m going back.”
As he said that, he put the remaining fifty plus Galleons into Leonard’s hand.
”ah?”Leonard was stunned and almost didn’t react.
Only then did he notice that there was his suitcase at Leonard’s feet.
”I said, I’m going back.”Londo repeated,”The farm at home still needs to be taken care of, and the housing here is too expensive.”
Leonard opened his mouth to say that we can share a room, but he was stu
nned as soon as he opened his mouth. After he got the wand, he would definitely go back and dig into the alley at night. If he and Londo were in the same room, he would definitely be discovered.
And Londo… Shiti must have given up completely on leaving, right? Even though magic is so close to him, he can only see it but cannot grasp it.
”You have to be careful by yourself and don’t run around, you know? When school starts, you can join the other Hogwarts students living here.”Londo said expressionless words of concern, then picked up his suitcase and turned to leave.
”Remember to send a letter home. Don’t come back for Christmas. It’s too far. I’ll pick you up at King’s Cross Station during the summer vacation.”
Londo left Leonard with a lonely figure and drifted away.
Leonard watched the old man leave and sighed.
This is not because of family affection. To be honest, Leonard can’t be said to be a good grandfather., he just sighed for an old man whose hope was shattered.
Bring him some novel plants in the future, hoping to relieve his depression at such an old age.
Leonard shook his head and looked at the Birdcage.
The gray owl inside and Leonard’s big eyes are staring at each other.
”It seems I haven’t given you a name yet.”Leonard tilted his head and looked at the owl in the cage, and the owl also tilted its head and looked at Leonard.
”It’s so troublesome to come up with a name. Since you are gray, let’s call you Gray.”Leonard gave the poor owl a name casually, and then turned around and started writing a letter.
He still remembered that the admission letter to Hogwarts said that he wanted to reply to the letter. He had completely forgotten it until he read it. Arriving at Gray,
Leonard probably didn’t even think about it.
Leonard quickly wrote a letter. In the letter, it appeared that he had received the admission notice and would enroll as scheduled.
”Sent to Hogwarts, okay? Hogwarts.”Leonard wrapped the letter and handed it to Gray, watching it fly out of the window with the letter in its mouth.
”No hesitation at all? Owl is really reliable.”Leonard sighed.
I don’t know how these owls locate their destinations.
”Forget it, it’s not important. Let’s change our mood and take a rest, right? Just in time to try the white fresh essence in the potions textbook.”Leonard said as he cleared the table and made space, then placed a densely growing white plant on the table.
Leonard bought this from Jiggs Pharmacy when he went out later to try it out. How much influence does the enhanced plant have on the finished potion?
