Chapter 4 Super Genius

Hamas raised a "innocence" face and looked at his father with hopeful eyes:

"Dad, I have thought of several solutions that may be able to solve the security problem..."

He paused and said several ideas in one breath:

"First, every time I practice with a wand, my dad can supervise it aside. If an accident occurs, such as chanting a wrong spell, you can interrupt the practice at any time.

"Other times, the wand is kept by dad, and I will never touch it.

"Second, when casting magic, I first use a short stick to perform simulation training multiple times until I am fully familiar with the spells and wand gestures. If my father feels there is no problem, then hand over the wand to me.

"Third, I will start with the simplest and most secure magic, such as floating spells, lighting spells. Without your permission, I will not touch the more dangerous spells."

Christopher was almost convinced.

This plan was considered extremely meticulously and avoided possible risks to the greatest extent. Even he could not think of a better way than this.

However, the reason why it is only "almost convinced" rather than "already convinced" is that there is another obstacle.

"Dear, even if I am willing to buy you a wand, I'm afraid the 'Ollivander Wand Store' will not sell the wand to a child under 5 years old." Christopher said in embarrassment.

Hearing that his father's attitude was relaxed, Hamas quickly struck while the iron was hot:

"Dad, can you buy me an old wand? I think the thrift store in 'Diagon Alley' may be able to buy such items.

"Although the old wand may not fit me and cannot maximize the magic power I cast, it is not a big problem. I just want to practice magic."

Christopher stared at his child, still hesitating:

"Baby, you should know that the Ministry of Magic prohibits minors under the age of 17 from using magic outside of school!"

Hamas responded without thinking:

"Dad, this one is only for children from Muggle families. I remember you mentioned before that in developed areas such as London, professional 'preschool magic education' has appeared for wizards under 11 years old.

“I don’t want to be behind other kids, so I’m willing to homeschool, but I need your help.

"What's more, as long as you haven't registered for admission, the Ministry of Magic will not use the 'tracking silk' to track it."

After hesitating for a moment, he played the last card:

“In fact, I think I have mastered the 'illumination curse'!”

"Really?"

Christopher felt that he had heard it wrong and looked in disbelief. Is this sure that it was not a fantasy for a 4-year-old child to master magic?

Hames stretched out his little hand, tapped the wand on his father's belt, and said in a brisk tone:

"Dad, can you borrow your wand?"

Christopher glanced at his son's confident little face, pulled out his wand without hesitation, and handed it over.

(Borrowing someone else's wand is not a rare thing in the world of Harry Potter. For example, the wand Ron used was his brother's old wand in the first two years after entering Hogwarts.)

Hames looked at the short wooden stick a few times, raised his right hand to take the wand.

This wand is about 11 inches long and feels a little heavy when you start. The wand has a light red color. Although the surface is polished quite smoothly, you can still see the fine and beautiful texture.

This is the red oak wand!

Hames, who had read books related to the wand, immediately recognized the material of the wand, and relevant information suddenly appeared in his mind.

“The Red Oak Wand is one of the most beautiful wands.

"Only when the wand user is in a more intense mood, its power can be fully exerted. This often makes people mistakenly believe that wizards carrying red oak wands all have a bad temper.

"In addition, wizards who truly fit the red oak wand generally possess the following personalities: agility, strong adaptability, and unusual reaction.

“They often perform very well when they encounter duels and are considered ideal partners to fight side by side.”

Hames gently stroked the body of the stick, and couldn't help but start looking forward to what kind of wand he would choose when he bought a magic wand in the future.

Yes, wands are extremely spiritual items that will choose their masters rather than being chosen by wizards.

Hames held the wand and faintly felt a slight repulsion from the wand.

However, it seems that because he is the descendant of the bloodline of the master of the wand, the wand is willing to accept him to a certain extent, so the repulsion is not too great.

He focused his mind and silently recited the description of spell casting in his mind:

"Use mental power or will, correct spells, and appropriate wand gestures to guide the magic power in the body, and ultimately achieve the purpose of successful casting..."

Hamas took a deep breath and quietly activated "Magic Sensation".

The owl and the big dog on the side seemed to notice something and looked at it at the same time.

Hamas suddenly stretched his wand forward and shouted:

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Hames felt a powerful suction force coming from his wand, and something seemed to flow into his body quickly, flowing towards the light red rod body.

In the vision of "Magic Perception", a blue light like a torrent flowed into the wand extremely rapidly and concentrated on the top of the wand. Its strength was dozens of times stronger than before when he was "no staff practice".

At the same time, countless slight blue light flashed out of thin air in the surrounding environment. They were directly sucked into the wand as if they encountered iron filings from magnets. The blue light on the tip of the wand was lit up in an instant.

A thought flashed through Hames' mind:

"The Magic Theory is right. The process of casting magic is actually a process of magic interaction with the external environment."

When he read this sentence in the past, he did not quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but now "magic perception" clearly reveals what "magic interaction" is and shows the interaction process clearly.

He was convinced that even the elite of wizards, Auror, might not have a deep understanding of the process of "magic interaction".

The next moment, a bright white spot shone from the top of the wand, and its brightness was extremely high, like a 300-watt incandescent lamp.

Hamas couldn't help but squint, and the entire living room was illuminated.

The "Lighting Curse" succeeded!

“Woo woo…”

The golden retriever's big golden dog "William" was caught off guard and the dog's eyes were so painful that it was thrust by the white light. It wailed and hid behind the sofa with its tail squashed.

Morty, the owl squatting on the back of the sofa, acted much calmer. He just twisted his head and closed his eyes.

The light spot lasted for only 2 seconds and disappeared.

Hames opened the attribute bar with his mind and found that the two numerical values ​​had changed.

◇Mental power: 1.5/2.2

◇Magic power: 1.2/2.7

The mental power changed from "1.8/2.2" to "1.5/2.2", which was reduced by 0.3 points, and the magic power changed from "2.2/2.7" to "1.8/2.7", which was reduced by 0.4 points.

The simplest "illumination spell" is the magic power consumed, which makes Hames a little astonishing. Even if he has full magic power, he can only cast the "illumination spell" just 6 times.

Christopher was already shocked.

A 4-year-old child successfully casts the "illumination spell" for the first time when he picked up his magic wand. He knows better than anyone else what this means.

At this moment, an unprecedentedly strong pride surged in the heart of this Ministry of Magic clerk: My son is a super genius!

"Dong!"

A muffled sound woke Christopher up. He subconsciously turned his head and realized that his youngest son Quincy had actually rolled onto the carpet.

"Wow……"

The little guy seemed to be hurt by falling and started crying at the top of his throat.

Christopher rushed over in a hurry, picked up the little guy, and started to coax him in a low voice.

"Hey, Christopher, didn't I ask you to take good care of Quincy?" Grace's voice came out of the kitchen, with a clear tone of displeasure.

"Sorry, my dear!" Christopher replied embarrassedly.

After he was rushing to soothe the crying baby, he gave his eldest son a positive answer:

"I'll go to London on weekends and buy you an old wand from the fritters market... But for safety reasons, you have to be there to practice magic with your wand."

"Okay, dad!"

Hames laughed with joy.

He tried his best to finally achieve his goal, although he could only obtain the right to use the wand under the custody of his father.

According to his plan, he planned to gradually win the trust of his father in 1-2 years and eventually gain complete control of the wand.
Chapter completed!
