In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Aberforth looks completely different from his brother. Not only is he more irritable, but he is also a very sloppy old man.

There is always a strange greasy smell in his bar, and the tables, chairs and benches are a little sticky, as if a customer accidentally spilled beer and it was not wiped clean.

But there is really no need for him to care too much about the hygiene of his shop. Anyway, he does not rely on the income of this bar to survive, and no matter how clean he is, the business will definitely not be as good as the other one in Hogsmeade. Three Broomsticks bar is good.

After all, one is Ms. Rosmerta, whose charm still exists and has secretly fascinated many boys at Hogwarts Castle. The other is a dirty, unshaven, and eccentric old man. Everyone knows which one to go to.

Aberforth brought Jon a glass of butterbeer, and by the way, he made him a sandwich made of freshly fried, hot eggs and ham at the bar.

Although the wine glass containing butterbeer looked suspicious as to whether its owner had cleaned it since he bought it, Jon still directly picked up the wine glass and drank more than half of it.

This is not only because he walked around half a circle in Hogwarts Castle today, and then climbed the stairs along the secret passage for more than ten minutes. When he arrived at the Pig's Head Bar, he had a long conversation with Aberforth. Until now It’s because I just took a sip of water.

This was especially because during the two months in the castle, he had never tasted any slightly flavored drinks except plain water. Butterbeer was originally a bit too sweet for Jon's taste, and he didn't drink much on the carriage. He loves to drink, but now he drank most of the glass directly.

The freshly baked sandwiches also tasted very good. No matter how good Aberforth's cooking skills were, this was the first hot food Jon had eaten in a while. Three meals a day in the castle were not dry. Bread is just cold, hard bacon.

Looking at Jon who was devouring his food, Aberforth waited for him to drink up all the remaining butterbeer in the wooden cup with his second sip, and swallowed the sandwich he had not chewed in his mouth before he spoke.

"I'll help you with the rooster thing. There's no way to replace it with anything else. You have to have a real rooster to be effective against the basilisk. But there's one thing you need to figure out. How can you not attract attention? Bringing a chicken into that castle? And making sure it doesn't croak when it's not in use."

Jon took another bite of the sandwich in his hand and said thoughtfully.

"Can this problem be solved using transformation?"

Aberforth was slightly startled.

"You mean to turn the chicken into a dead object that cannot move, and then undo its transformation when it is needed?"

"Yes." Jon nodded and said, "How long can your transformation last?"

"Transformation from living things to dead things and from dead things to living things are relatively difficult skills in the art of transfiguration." Aberforth said it was difficult without showing any embarrassment on his face, "But if it were me If you use it, I can make the chicken's transformation last for more than a week as long as you want."

After all, he is from the Dumbledore family and is an old wizard who has lived for more than a hundred years. Whether it is spells or transformation, his magical attainments far exceed more than 95% of wizards in the magical world.

Jon was not surprised by this. If Aberforth couldn't even do this, then he would have to doubt his level.

"It's up to you to cast a spell on the rooster and try to turn it into something small, easy to carry and unobtrusive. Then when I need to use it, I can directly undo the transformation spell attached to it. It shouldn’t require any advanced transformation skills to release the transformation.”

"But as I said before, the rooster thing is easy to deal with, but if it is just like this, there is a high probability that it will not kill the basilisk." Aberforth sat opposite Jon and said solemnly, " You have to do auxiliary work for the rooster beside you, not only to protect it from being killed, but also to control the basilisk's movements so that it cannot escape quickly."

After Jon finished eating his sandwich, he touched the wand in his hand habitually and said.

"Although the basilisk has high magic resistance, it doesn't mean that no spell can have an effect on it, right?"

"Its defense is actually far from the strength of dragon skin, but even if there are many spells that can do this, can you use them?" Aberforth looked at Jon. What are you mocking, but asking questions very seriously.

Jon shook his head and truthfully said all the spells he knew now.

"Petrifying Charm, Cleaning Charm, Wand Illuminating Charm, Levitation Charm, Unlocking Charm, Repairing Charm, Cutting Charm, Softening Charm and Locking Charm (the latter six spells are included in the first-grade textbook "Standard Spells: Elementary"). "

To be honest, considering that Jon has only been exposed to magic for a year, he has been able to learn so many spells beyond Aberforth's expectation, and among them, the Petrification Curse can be regarded as a medium-difficulty spell. Students have no access to it at all, so Jon is already considered very talented if he can learn it.

"While we were on the carriage, most of my energy was focused on mastering the levitation spell, so I was a little relaxed about learning other spells. Otherwise, I would definitely have learned some more useful spells."

After hearing Jon's explanation, Aberforth couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Proficient in the levitation spell? Is this the spell you are most proficient in?"

It could be seen that Aberforth obviously felt that wasting time on spells like the Levitation Curse was purely mentally ill. Jon did not give any more explanations in words, but directly demonstrated it to him with practical actions. The "Levitation Spell" that I know.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

The ring had been worn around his neck when he entered the secret passage. After Jon recited the spell, his whole body flew up in front of Aberforth!

Seeing Jon, who just recited a floating spell with a different pronunciation, flew up without any external objects, Aberforth's eyes were as big as eggs.

Only then did he realize that the floating spell he understood and the "floating spell" Jon learned to use could be said to be two different kinds of magic.

After showing what he knew now, Jon lifted the effect of the "Levitation Curse". He didn't want to show off, but at this time he had better explain everything he knew clearly, so Ah Only Fusi can determine what areas he needs to strengthen based on his abilities.
