Chapter 47: Unlocking spell

"How about using that person's method?" Albert nodded towards the crowd over there.

"What a solution," Fred muttered. He had hoped that Albert would come up with a reliable proposal.

"If you do that, Filch will take you to his office..." Albert glanced at Fred and didn't finish his words.

"You mean the drawer..." George remembered the highly dangerous drawer of confiscated supplies that Filch had brought to his office last time, and he muttered, "Who's drawing the fire, though."

"What are you talking about?" Fred was a little confused and didn't quite understand what the two guys were talking about.

"Drawer, drawer, confiscate supplies, highly dangerous." George reminded.

"That's a good idea." Fred's eyes lit up. Last time he was a little curious about what was there.

"You need to learn the unlocking spell first." Albert reminded.

"How about you go and we help you attract Filch's attention?" The twins looked at Albert and suggested.

Albert glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you want to learn the unlocking spell?"

"When does learning start?"

"Go back to the dorms. There are drawers there for you to practice."

Not long after, Li Jordan came back and brought back news.

William, the boy who had done a good job of getting himself killed, did not escape being put in solitary confinement, and the content was... cleaning the chamber pot.

"Well, it seems you don't even have to clean the chamber pot." Albert shrugged, reached for his backpack and returned to the Gryffindor dormitory.

Looking at the Weasley twins flipping through the spell book as soon as they entered the dormitory, Lee Jordan was a little confused. Are these still the twin brothers he knew

"Open the Alaho." George took out his wand first and tried it on the drawer he had locked, but failed.

"Focus and pay attention to the gestures." Albert sat in a chair, watching the two people practicing spells, and his gaze shifted to Lee Jordan beside him.

"What stimulated them both?" Li Qiaodan asked in a low voice.

"They need to use this spell, so they started practicing." Albert said vaguely, "Anyway, we have to learn the spells class in the end, and we need to practice it sooner or later. Why not compete with them to see who can master the unlocking spell faster?"

"You're awesome." Li Jordan also drew out his wand and began to join in practicing the unlocking spell, preparing to compete with the other two to see who could master the spell faster.

Albert told them about the problems he encountered when practicing the unlocking spell, as well as some things that they should pay attention to.

However, given the three's current level, it would be impossible for them to successfully unlock the door for the time being.

Albert picked up "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense" and continued to read the parts he had not read.

"Give up?" Albert asked without raising his head.

"Give up for now. There's no way it's going to succeed." Li Jordan was a little angry. There's no way this would succeed!

After practicing for half an hour, the lock still didn't move, which was really frustrating.

"It took me a long time to practice successfully," Albert reminded. "The spell, the gestures, and the concentration. Don't hesitate when casting the spell."

"Forget it, I'd better prepare for the afternoon class first." Li Jordan was a little tired. In fact, the twins also wanted to give up, but when they thought about their plan, they endured it and continued to practice hard. Albert was right. They still had to learn in the future anyway. If they didn't practice now, they would practice later.

"Have you finished reading this book?"

"Not yet. I've flipped through some of them. They all introduce dark creatures and how to defend against them." Albert continued as he flipped through the book. "In fact, for a Muggle newcomer like me, it is used to understand how many dangerous creatures there are in the magic world, and how to be vigilant against them and protect myself.

In layman's terms, it teaches you how to escape, prevent robbery, or ask for help when you encounter one, rather than teaching you how to knock down the robber.

Therefore, what is taught in this book is actually very general, but we have to admit that it is very useful, so Albert said that this is an introductory book.

If we study this stuff for the entire semester, it's no wonder that the twins' protective props are such a best-seller. After finishing this book, we probably won't even be able to use the Armor Charm properly. At least as far as Albert has seen, the term Armor Charm has not been introduced so far.

After practicing for an entire afternoon, the twins still failed to learn the unlocking spell.

Very normal.

Albert was not surprised.

"Tell me, when can we master this spell?" Fred looked a little annoyed.

"Practice for a day or two!" Albert said without hesitation, "Any spell requires magical power as a foundation, and you who barely know a few spells are not as good as me in this regard, so... it will be a bit difficult to learn. When I first came into contact with magic, I also encountered a similar situation. Later, as I mastered more magic, I learned magic faster. "

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Albert's words seemed to make sense, but for some reason they always felt that the other party was fooling them again.

Perhaps, the unlocking spell is still a little difficult for you. After all, you haven't even mastered the lighting spell completely.

Albert muttered, unintentionally stabbing three people in the heart.

"Oh, I didn't expect magic to be so difficult to learn." George sighed softly and lay back on the soft bed.

"Don't you think about it? The book 'Standard Elementary Spells' only records a few magic spells. It takes us a year to study this book. You can already see how difficult it is to learn a spell." Albert couldn't help but curled his lips. In fact, it was indeed the case.

"According to what you said, you have probably learned all the spells in the Standard Book of Spells?" Fred suddenly opened his mouth, realizing the huge gap between the two sides.

"That's about right!" Albert thought for a moment and said, "However, what we have learned is only the most basic application of magic."

"What is the most basic use of magic?" The three of them were a little confused.

"It's about playing with spells in new ways." Albert thought for a moment, lit up his wand, and waved it in front of them to explain, "This is the most common use of our Glowing Charm, but have you ever thought about making the light of the Glowing Charm brighter, or letting it leave the wand and float in the air or far away as you wish?"

"Is this really possible?"

"I think Professor Flitwick can definitely do it." Albert extinguished the light on his wand and sighed softly. If he wanted to make a magic lamp, he would need to at least upgrade the Glowing Charm to level 3 or 4.

It takes 10,000 experience points to upgrade a level 2 skill to level 3, and it takes 5 times as much experience points to upgrade to level 4. Albert didn't want to think about it at all. The pitiful experience points in his experience pool were not enough to upgrade a skill to level 4.
