Chapter 36 Mysterious Mirror!

Ted has been unsociable these past few days, and his friends have naturally noticed.

Hermione, in particular, found that Ted often practiced magic in abandoned classrooms by himself, and even studied things he couldn't understand in the library... She was very worried and a little uncomfortable.

Hermione: You're leaving me behind!
The carefree Gryffindor quartet also discovered something was wrong after four or five days - Ted was always thinking about problems while eating and was not as active as Anzu who was eating fries crazily.

"Is there something on his mind?" Ron asked.

"No, it looks more like he's thinking about something!" said Jerry.

"Yeah!" Hermione nodded, "He said he's researching new magic!"

"New magic? Is it, is it a mischief spell?" Neville looked surprised.

Finally, Harry made the decision: "Why are you guessing here? You might as well go ask Ted directly! Listen, I have a plan..."

Everyone: "Forget it! Harry, forget it this time. There's no need, no need!"

The five of them had dinner that day. After Ted finished eating quickly and said hello and left, they exchanged glances with each other.

Ron quickly stuffed the chicken leg in his hand into his mouth, and Jerry stuffed the cheese directly into his lunch box as a midnight snack.

"Go, follow!"

Ted came to the door of the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor of the left tower and shouted to the empty corridor behind him: "Come out quickly, follow me, what are you thinking about?"

"How did you find us?" Harry was very unwilling to accept the failure of her surprise attack plan.

Harley: My great plan~~~
Ted laughed and said, "The sound of your five footsteps added together sounds like a drum!"

"What's wrong? The dog is following me secretly?"

Hermione stood up: "Ted! Are you, are you studying some dangerous magic?!"

Ted looked at Hermione and the others who looked serious but nervous, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! Thank you, thank you for your concern. Come in with me, I'll show you my achievements..."

Six people walked in. Ted stretched out his wand and pointed at an old training dummy at the end of the classroom. "This is a freezing spell. Freeze it!"

A light blue spell flew out and hit the dummy six or seven meters away. A thin layer of ice instantly spread over the dummy!

"Wow! Cool~" Jerry exclaimed.

Harry also clapped his hands vigorously. "Great! Ted, have you been hiding here to practice this spell? This is great, leave it to me, I'll use it against Malfoy next time!"

Poor Malfoy, Harry thought of him first~
Ted shook his head. "Not only that, there are many obstacles~"

Another reddish spell hit the dummy, but no one could see any effect.

"Is this a Barrier Charm?!" Hermione screamed.

"Yes, after being hit, the movements will slow down, usually lasting about ten seconds." Ted said.

"I haven't fully learned the final armor spell yet, so I won't demonstrate it."

Ron said, "So, you really are practicing spells here? Or are you learning spells for senior years?!"

He is so desperate!
Why are there so many struggling people in the world? Are you trying to drive me to death? Don't come over here!
"No. I'm not practicing these spells here, I'm developing a new spell!" Ted's words stunned his friends.

"A new spell?!"

"Yes."

Although, inventing spells is nothing new in the wizarding world, those outstanding wizards, or wizards who invent spells by chance, can always discover some strange spells, some of which are useful and will be passed down.

But suddenly a friend of mine who is the same age as me and has only been in school for more than a month said that he was developing new spells. The feeling was different!

It’s like there are so many internet celebrities and anchors on the Internet, a hundred thousand fans are not worth mentioning, only a million fans can be considered a big name.

But if you find that someone around you suddenly becomes a big anchor, the feeling will be completely different!

Now Hermione, Harry and the others are feeling: You are kidding me, are you?!
This time, Ted didn't point his wand at the tattered training dummy. Instead, he drew a very complicated pattern in front of him and said, "Frost~Protect~"

A shield made of ice suddenly appeared above Ted's head and then disappeared.

The friends felt cold instantly, just like wearing T-shirts when it was snowing.

"Hiss~" Ron hugged his arms and shivered, "What happened? Did you use magic just now?!"

Everyone looked at Ted, and Ted began to "explain" his "newly invented" spell.

In his words, this was a new spell formed by combining the Freezing Spell, the Obstacle Spell and part of the Armor Spell.

After casting this spell, Ted was surrounded by an invisible layer of protective ice.

A transparent layer of ice is suspended around the body, able to resist some low-level spells.

More importantly, it can defend against physical attacks, and attackers will be slowed down by ice!
This spell now lasts for 6 minutes.

"You hit me!" Ted said to Ron.

"Let me do it!" Gryffindor boxing champion Harry volunteered and punched Ted in the smooth white face.

"Bang~" The punch was blocked by the ice shield, and a layer of frost covered Harley's arms. "Ah! It's so cold! My arms are a little numb!" Her muscles tightened under the influence of the cold, and her whole body became sluggish.

"This is awesome! Teach me!" Harley immediately became interested, and the other friends' eyes also lit up.

"We have to wait... This magic is just a start-up and has not yet been fully successful."

"Not entirely successful?"

"Yes, you just saw it. I waved my wand for a long time, and it consumed a lot of magic power. I have to continue to optimize it..."

As for the spell, Ted has figured it out after many attempts and optimizations.

A spell needs to describe the properties and form of the spell.

Frost is the attribute of the spell, and body protection is the form in which the spell is manifested.

But there was no progress in terms of wand trajectory.

He even planned to replace the wand trajectory with a gesture casting method. This would avoid this difficulty and allow it to be used with bare hands.

The development of the Frost Armor Curse sparked a brief period of learning enthusiasm among the students.

The time they spent studying and practicing magic in the library increased significantly, but it only lasted a few days.

If you want to learn the Frost Armor Charm, you must also know the Freezing Charm and the Obstacle Charm, and the Iron Armor Charm is also necessary.

The Freezing Spell is second-grade content, the Obstacle Spell is third-grade content, and the Shield Spell is fifth-grade content. The prerequisites are really high.

It took Ron and Jerry four days to learn the Freezing Spell, and they gave up immediately: "Wait until you have fully developed it, and then teach us. We won't bother you anymore."
Harry and Hermione's learning progress was very fast. They had already learned the Freezing Spell and the Barrier Spell and were studying the Shield Spell.

……

That day, the Weasley twins suddenly found Ted who was having lunch in a mysterious manner, whispered something to him, and then left.

Ron came over and asked, "What did George and Freddy tell you? They were so mysterious!"

Ron was upset that the twins didn't go to his brother when they had problems, but instead always teased him, so he was very concerned about the twins going to Ted.

Ted said to his friends, "George and his friends found something suspicious and asked me to come over and study it with them."

When Harley heard about the suspicious things, her eyes lit up: "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Don't worry, there's still time after dinner."

Urged by the anxious Harry, everyone hurriedly finished their lunch and went to look for the twins.

"This is it!" George and the other man took them to a remote corridor and pointed at the wall.

It was an oval half-length mirror with a silver-plated embossed frame. It was dusty and no one had wiped it for a long time.

"A mirror?" Ron asked doubtfully.

Fred put his arm around his shoulders and teased him, "My stupid brother, don't look with your eyes, look with your heart!"

After hearing this, Ted felt that Fred wanted to use Ron to test his own ability.

Ted said: "Most magic cannot be seen by the eyes, but the keen senses can sense the existence of magic. Feel it carefully..."

Ted had previously discovered that Hermione's perception and control of magic were excellent, which was why she learned magic so quickly because of her strong control.

She reached out her hand and touched the mirror. "It really has magic power. And this dust, can't be wiped off?!"

"Wow~" George exclaimed.

"Clever!" exclaimed Fred.

They both discovered the unusualness of this mirror by accident.

The decorations in a normal castle are all taken care of by elves, and both portraits and armor are polished to a shine.

But this mirror is covered with a layer of "dust". This is very strange.

Ted sensed the flow of magic, which was a bit complicated and not the kind of magic he knew.

My foundation is still shallow, and I still have too little magic. I can't recognize it.

He turned around and asked, "Who among you can 'show your true colors'?"

"will not!"

"It seems to be fourth grade content?!"

"It seems I need to learn some spells first..."
