Of course—otherwise you wouldn’t have…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor froze, paused for several seconds, then showed no hint of doubt about his words—only her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth refused to be suppressed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Show me your diagram of the floating quill’s creation process… You’ve improved it, haven’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise the final step wouldn’t be so perfectly aligned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Professor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was surprised—could it really be that obvious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While making the floating quill, he had noticed the Weasleys’ sample could be optimized; they seemed unable to directly sense fine magical flows through will alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made their floating quills appear crude. But Wizard Sean was different—he always sensed the subtle magical currents, just as he had with the broomstick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he naturally optimized it, and only after finishing did he realize how dangerous the process had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A skilled alchemist perceives the profound changes within their creations; it is precisely this that reclassifies alchemists.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra’s voice grew warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had read this line in a book; now hearing it from the professor made it feel more familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It sounds familiar—so you’ve read that book, *The Fifth Element: Exploration*… That’s excellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra was even more pleased; she didn’t tell Wizard Sean that on the cover, in large letters, it read—*By Flora Terra*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among all magical branches, alchemy is the most dependent on innate talent; great alchemists link to truth through the aether and reshape the world;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while mediocre alchemists are fit only to serve as minor clerks in the Ministry or producers of mediocre creations, never glimpsing truth in their lifetimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra said this, then waved her hand—a stool bounced out of her office, and she sat down slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So tell me, child, why do you wish to study alchemy? In other words, how do you view alchemy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean paused slightly, recalling the various inventions of the Weasley brothers—simple combinations that produced tremendous effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alchemy… may still have vast blanks… Activated transfiguration and trigger spells can create canary biscuits; duplication and sustained spells can produce eternal ink… Magic, in some sense, completely ignores science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If canary biscuits are possible, then hawk biscuits and shark pies should be too;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if infinite ink is possible, then infinite quills and infinite clothing should be too;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if a greenhouse can be enchanted with a constant-temperature spell, then teapots, clothing, and boots could have them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are only the parts of alchemy already explored by predecessors—many areas remain entirely blank… Wizards can simply cast a fire spell to boil water, yet don’t understand steam mechanics; wizards can duplicate pressure, yet don’t grasp the principle of the pressure pump…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he spoke, the brighter Wizard Sean’s eyes became:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why must we study the mysteries of alchemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because… it’s there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long while, the corridor fell into deep silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra thought deeply—she recalled the alchemists from the last Alchemy Conference who had switched from Muggle Studies; they had astonishingly original ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though limited by talent, they could only dream and serve as advisory references.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you a half-blood wizard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor asked softly, her tone neutral, pure curiosity only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a Muggle-born wizard, Professor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard many interesting ideas from that Weasley—he made a flying car too, quite impressive… I have one afternoon free every Monday and Wednesday for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra said softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Child, tell me your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean Green, Professor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flora Terra. Pleased to meet you today. Tell those two Weasleys—I’ll be on this corridor from now on—and don’t keep pretending to trip; no wizard can fall in the same place seven times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Professor Terra stared long at the notebook resting atop the pile of books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t given me your quill diagram yet, Mr. Green.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Wizard Sean finally remembered—he’d forgotten entirely—and hurriedly handed over his notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the corridor, Sir Cadogan had noticeably increased his naps, likely due to the cold—he drank until midnight every night and slept all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean walked briskly, heading toward the Transfiguration office to practice, when two fiery shapes suddenly darted from a corner:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You came out too fast! How did it go?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred pulled off the helmet’s faceplate, revealing his face hidden inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell us you failed—or next time, we’ll charge you Galleons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George, hidden behind the armor, was pulling Fred out with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean waved his wand—the armor moved on its own, pieces detaching and then reassembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cool—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The professor asked me to see her after class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s tone carried gratitude; he paused, then added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, the professor said she’s always on that corridor—don’t keep pretending to trip; no wizard can fall in the same place seven times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred and George turned red, muttered things like “It’s not falling—it’s wizard business” and “The floor’s just too slippery,” then vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean expected both the reliability and unreliability of the Weasleys; he quickly left the corridor. Two days remained until Wednesday—he needed to familiarize himself with alchemy’s framework as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra sat in her chair, studying the notebook with interest; her gaze fell on the first sentence and grew grave: 【Potions should share a common root with Alchemy.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent explanations of alchemy’s three stages and their correspondence to potions made her nod slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Wizard Sean hadn’t written down his will-strengthening methods, these theories had unconsciously shaped his magical perspective, giving his notes a depth of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra grew even more satisfied; she turned to Wizard Sean’s diagram of the floating quill—still immature, but with exceptional attention to detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… this “two days”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time spent engraving the magical runes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took two days to barely make a floating quill…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>",990,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b1a255a250ab7619b927a9dc6ccba35c96b097434c96a231e52b4271f8f2617f","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-140","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-138",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
