In the early stages of learning spells, professors will emphasize the four basic conditions for the success of the spell:

Specific wand movements, the correct spell, the caster's subjective awareness of the spell's effect, and a certain level of concentration on the part of the caster.

When these four basic conditions are at least slightly inconsistent, for example, the caster does not use the correct wand movement during the spell, does not pronounce the spell correctly, fails to concentrate or does not have a clear spell effect in his mind

, then the spell will not be cast successfully, and may even cause backfire - that is, an explosion caused by the return of magic power. This is also the cause of death of 90% of spell masters.

Fortunately, the magic power of the underage wizards is not enough to blow themselves up for the time being.

On the other hand, spells or their corresponding magical effects can also be cast without a wand or without chanting the spell aloud. This is the so-called silent spell and wandless casting, but this is not suitable for wizards.

The ability requirements are particularly high.

Therefore, in general magic teaching, silent spells and wandless spells are not taught to beginners and intermediate learners, and practice is not encouraged.

For example, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there are no courses on silent spells before the sixth grade. This is because before that, the little wizards’ magical control and magic power are not enough to skip the constraints of spells and gestures and complete a certain task independently.

The extent of the magical effect.

Of course, all the above restrictions only apply to: minors, ordinary people, humans, and wizards.

For Elena, there is almost no difficulty in releasing an elementary spell like the Freezing Curse once the source of the magic is cracked.

"The World——"

Along with the surge of her magic power, a biting coldness quickly spread along Elena's fingers.

Fine ice crystals began to appear in the air, and the air Hermione exhaled formed a cold mist.

What's worse is that her whole body seems to be stuck in a sticky quagmire. Even if she wants to blink her eyes, she has to use all her strength.

"Well, it seems that the time and space suspension was successful?"

Elena poked Hermione's soft lips curiously, admiring the ever-changing expressions of embarrassment and surprise in the little beaver's eyes.

From a microscopic perspective, temperature is essentially the intensity of thermal motion of the molecules of an object.

Regardless of whether the origin of the "freezing spell" is "stillness" or "freezing", the presentation process of magic power may still be a black box process that cannot be completely cracked for the time being, but its results are mostly objective physical states that can be observed

——Magic originates from the consciousness of wizards. The assessment criteria for magic spells mentioned by Umbridge are essentially concentration and the form of the overflow of magic power.

When the caster has a certain understanding of the macro and micro world, such as Elena, she can selectively increase the magic effect on a certain side.

In other words, whether it is freezing or stopping, she can easily...

Ouch——

Before Elena could finish the thoughts in her mind, there was a sudden pain in her index finger.

Hermione didn't know when she broke free from the restraints of "Time Stop", opened her mouth, and bitterly bit the claw that was poking her lips.

"hiss--"

Elena couldn't help but gasped and looked at Hermione helplessly.

Since she had tripled her strength before, she didn't dare to act rashly now. If she accidentally shook off the little beaver's teeth, she might be in a bad situation in the future. This would be no better than after Tie Hanhan spanked her swollen butt.

Once it is cured, it can be treated as if nothing happened.

The most important thing is, from whom did Hermione learn this bad habit of talking when something doesn't agree with her?!

However, it was now in class, and after Hermione ground her teeth bitterly, she finally quickly let go of her teeth.

"What was that just now? That curse..."

Hermione lowered her voice and shivered unnaturally several times.

This was a very uncomfortable experience, as if she was suddenly stripped naked and stuffed into an icehouse. The skin all over her body felt the sudden drop in temperature at the same time, and her body was still unable to respond. The wizard's robe seemed to be

The heavy armor made Hermione unable to move.

"Freezing spell? So...is this the advanced spellcasting technique Professor Flitwick talks about?"

"Well, I guess so. Hmm - how are your hands..."

Elena was shivering as a little beaver, and she subconsciously reached out and touched Hermione's left hand that was resting on the table.

Cold.

Huh? Why is it so cold?!

Before Hermione could speak, Elena's hand quietly lowered her hand, and under the cover of the desk, she reached into Hermione's thick wizard robe and fumbled a few times.

Judging from the temperature feedback from her fingertips, it was not just the exposed back of her hands. Hermione's whole body seemed to have experienced a rapid cooling. However, this did not cause any damage to her body. It seemed more like a comprehensive body surface cooling.

The temperature decreases.

No wonder her expression was so embarrassed and angry just now. Was it because of this...

"Yeah! We're still in class now. If you keep moving like this, Elena, I'm going to be really angry -"

"Stop it, Wyrd—"

Elena frowned, activated the healing magic text directly, and gently pressed Hermione's waist without any explanation.

The next moment, a warm current instantly spread through Hermione's body, quickly driving away the remaining chill in her body. The hot spring-like comfort almost didn't make Hermione moan. Fortunately, she used the only remaining

Reason bit her lip hard.

"Sorry, Granger...it was my fault just now. I didn't expect this magic to..."

Elena looked at her palms in confusion, carefully recalling all the details of when she released the magic just now.

Theoretically, wizards will gain spell amplification when using their wands.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the wandless and silent spell she just cast would be somewhat weakened.

But the fact is exactly contrary to her guess. The "time pause" she just released towards Hermione not only forced Hermione into a stagnant state in terms of macro actions, but also affected Hermione's body functions and...

The surrounding environment is cooling down.

This is completely different from the effect Elena had when she used the wand to cast the "Freezing Curse" in class.

It seems that when it comes to attempts at molecular magic, or microscopic magic, we need to be more cautious and set up more repeated experimental groups.

"This knowledge belongs to the application of Muggle physics and magic, just like the delayed explosion spell you mastered before. If you are really interested in these, you can stay in the Hufflepuff lounge for the next few days.

I’ll give you extra lessons in the evening—”

Elena thought for a few seconds, temporarily put aside the improvement of "microscopic magic", and turned her face to look at Hermione.

After being together for so long, she certainly knows how to eliminate Hermione's anger. When faced with those mysterious and interesting knowledge, Miss Know-It-All has never had much resistance, especially when these contents are closely related to school exams.

That's true.

Sure enough, Hermione nodded gently, her bright amber eyes shining.

"Then it's settled, you can't make any additional demands!"

"Well, of course."

Dude, Dude——

Behind the girls, there was a faint sound of high heels hitting the ground.

Elena realized that Umbridge was approaching not far away, and seemed to want to hear what they were talking about.

She quickly touched Hermione's shoes with her feet under the desk, opened the book and began to study the contents in a low voice. She felt that it was better not to let Umbridge get involved at this time. If the senior investigator "

Killed in action" here, that would be too wasteful.

Elena has long made up her mind to squeeze out the value of the Ministry of Magic and Umbridge this time and create a villain image.

For this reason, she reduced 30% of the topics in the Hogwarts campus research institute, and suppressed the information about werewolf community attacks that Rita Skeeter had collected through adventure. The current situation is not comparable to that of the fifth grade in the original book.

Similarly, whether it is Cornelius Fudge or the wizarding society, their relationship with Dumbledore has not become so tense, which also restrains the reflection monster in their hearts.

Although Umbridge and Fudge have always claimed how much they care about and value the order and stability of magical society.

But Elena knows very well that the only thing they care about is the power under their butts - the suspension of the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic will tear a gap in Umbridge's heart that desires power, and she will gradually reappear.

Those bad deeds in the original world line.

Before that, Elena had to buy enough time and space for Umbridge and wait for her to anger all the teachers and students of Hogwarts little by little.

"By the way, Elena. You just said you wanted to apologize, right?"

At this moment, Hermione's voice suddenly came to Elena's ears.

"You just said this morning that verbal apology is meaningless. Apology must be put into action-"

"Eh?"

Elena turned her head blankly, just in time to meet Hermione's bright amber eyes.

"I hope--"

Hermione paused for a few seconds and then said seriously.

"When Professor Flitwick conducts the curse test later, can you give it your all - in a student's way, with your true magical strength? I want to see how far you and I are. As for the content, it should be

That’s today’s freezing spell.”

Ever since a long time ago, Hermione had vaguely felt that Elena had always had reservations.
