In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"Hogwarts was founded more than nine hundred years ago, and during this period, almost all children with the potential to become wizards would be selected to enter the wizarding school before the age of 11. If it is a student who is entirely from a Muggle family, 11 Years old, how much natural science knowledge can a student who has just graduated from elementary school learn?"

Neville couldn't answer Jon's question. He didn't even understand what the word gravity meant, and who was Newton.

"No matter how many, these students basically have no access to high-level scientific knowledge, and when they are absorbed by Hogwarts and become little wizards to learn magic, they will no longer want to understand Muggles. Science, for them, if they have this energy and time, they might as well study more magic spells."

"Coupled with the constraints of the Secrecy Act and traditional wizards' discrimination against Muggles, the wizarding world has never faced up to Muggles' own understanding of the world. It has never thought about the changes that magic has made to the world. What deeper changes have taken place!”

Neville had an expression on his face as if he was reading a book from heaven, and he looked at Jon blankly.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Jon took a deep breath to relieve his inner excitement and excitement.

"When we use the levitating spell, we are thinking about believing that objects can fly, but in fact there are many ways to make objects fly, and magic itself chooses the simplest and most direct one to form a kind of power. Lift the object up, but what if I specify a way for it to fly when I use the spell?"

"Is there any other way?" Neville became more and more confused. After all, for a child like him who has never received any modern scientific education since childhood, he simply cannot understand the principle of why objects always fall to the ground.

Jon did not continue to explain to him, but solemnly held his wand and pointed the tip of the wand at the center of the dormitory.

The spell that was about to grow into Neville's ears sounded clearly again.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

This floating spell has no target, or in other words, everything in the entire dormitory is the target of Jon's spell.

And at the moment when the spell fell, Neville's eyes were already wide open, looking at this magical scene in the room with great shock!

In the dormitory, except for the two living people, he and Jon, parchment, quill pens, ink bottles, desks, chairs, including the two heaviest four-poster beds, all the items were floating in the air!

There is a significant difference between that floating state and the effect produced after the normal floating spell takes effect.

After the normal floating spell takes effect, the object will obviously go straight up and down, and will stop when it reaches a certain height.

And now these objects floating in front of Neville's eyes are all floating in an irregular manner, like fish floating in the water, without any restrictions at all!

But such a magical scene only lasted less than two seconds, and then a "crackling" sound of things falling kept ringing in their ears.

The effect of Jon's spell ended, and the flying things fell back to the ground.

The originally clean and tidy dormitory instantly turned into a garbage dump. Tables and chairs were scattered everywhere, two beds were overturned on the ground, two ink bottles were broken, and there were large pieces of ink all over the floor, including parchment. Scattered all over the floor.

But neither Jon nor Neville cared about this. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes. One person's eyes were full of excitement that his suspicion was confirmed, and the other person's eyes were full of "Why did this happen all of a sudden?" Unbelievable.

"how did you do it?"

Neville felt that these words felt very familiar when he said them, as if he had asked the exact same question not long ago.

"Like I told you, create a way for the levitation spell to make objects fly. It's not to use the power of magic to lift up, but to control gravity."

Jon didn't hide any secrets and told Neville directly and generously about his findings.

But now Neville doesn't even understand what the word gravity means, let alone let him understand it.

Jon actually felt that there was a high probability that he would not succeed at first. As one of the four fundamental forces in physics, he felt that this ultimate rule could not be changed so easily.

But in fact, magic itself is a rule that breaks the rules. The normal floating spell completely violates the common sense of physics, and generates a force out of thin air to lift the object.

Thinking about it from another angle, it might be easier for magic to change the existing gravity than to create a new force.

But Jon obviously had a mediocre grasp of this form of "Levitation Spell", and he couldn't even maintain the effect for more than three seconds.

However, the most difficult thing in the world is the process from 0 to 1. As long as he can successfully use this spell once, he will not be afraid of not being able to master it proficiently in the future.

After restraining his joy and tidying up the dormitory together with Neville, Jon left the dormitory directly.

He wanted to share this news with Slughorn. Even the Fat Walrus most likely had no way of understanding what gravity was, but that didn't stop him from passing on the happy news.

After knocking on the office door, Jon opened the door and walked in after waiting for a reply.

The office was filled with smoke, and Slughorn was standing over a cauldron brewing a potion.

When Jon walked in, he had just put a piece of dried snake skin like a belt into the boiling potion.

Jon blinked, becoming somewhat interested in the potion.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"Hmm, a magic potion that is very beneficial to the elderly. Even though I eat a lot of sweets, I also pay attention to my health. After all, no one wants to die in a hospital bed."

He stirred the potion with his wand and told Jon the formula.

"Powder from a unicorn horn, a small piece of dragon's liver, and tears from Dumbledore's pet bird. These three are the core materials, as well as secondary ingredients such as rune snake skin. Do you want to Want some? Even if you are still young now, it will be of great benefit to your growing body, but this pot of potion takes a long time to brew, so you have to wait."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, teacher."

"Oh, by the way, why did you come to me? Do you have any questions about magic?"

Slughorn stopped turning the wand in his hand and looked up at Jon in confusion.

"Of course not, but my floating spell has finally made a breakthrough!"

His happy smile still hung on his face, but there was something different in that smile.
