Chapter 84: Chapter 84 My Best is Levitation Charm

Aberforth is completely different from his brother, not only his personality is more grumpy, but also a very unkempt old man.

His bar always smelled strange and grimy, and the tables and stools were all a bit mushy as if they hadn't been wiped clean after a customer had accidentally spilled beer on them.

But he did not need to care much about the hygiene of his store, anyway, he does not rely on the income of this bar to survive, and no matter how much he can clean now, his business absolutely not as good as the other Three Broomsticks Inn in Hogsmeade, and with his reputation and popularity, there's no way he can compete.

After all, one is Madam Rosmerta, who is still sexy and charming enough to make many students in Hogwarts castle charmed secretly, while the other is a dirty, bearded and grumpy old man, so it's obvious which one anyone would go to.

Aberforth handed Jon a mug of butterbeer, and in the process even cooked him a freshly pan-fried, piping hot egg and ham sandwich at the bar.

Although the butterbeer mug might seem questionable about whether its owner had cleaned it since he bought it, Jon still grabbed the mug and drank most of it straight away.

It is not just because he went around Hogwarts castle today, then climbed the stairs and made his way up the secret passage for ten minutes to reach the Hog's Head Inn and also talked for a long time with Aberforth, and only now got a sip of drinking liquid.

It is more due to his two months in the castle, in addition to the plain water, he didn't touch any drinks with a little flavour, originally butter beer was a little too sweet for Jon's taste, and he didn't like it much in the wagon, but now he drank most of the mug directly.

The freshly baked sandwiches tasted good too, no matter how bad Aberforth's cooking is, but this is the first hot food Jon has had in a while since three meals a day in the castle were either dry bread or cold, hard, salty meat.

Looking at Jon gobbling up food, Aberforth waited for him to finish the rest of the butterbeer in the wooden mug with a second sip, and swallow the sandwich in his mouth without chewing a few times, before speaking.

"I'll help you with the rooster thing, there is no way to replace it with something else, it has to be a real rooster to affect the basilisk. But there is still one thing to figure out, how can you bring the rooster into that castle inconspicuously? And you also have to make sure not to let it crow when you're not using it."

Jon took another bite of the sandwich in his hand and pondered.

"Can we solve this problem if we use transfiguration?"

Aberforth flinched slightly.

"You mean turning the rooster into a dead thing that can't move, and then releasing the transfiguration on it when you need to use it?"

"Right." Jon said with a nod, "How long can your transfiguration spell possibly last at most?"

"Live-to-dead and dead-to-live transfiguration are considered more difficult techniques in transfiguration." Aberforth spoke of the difficulties, but his face did not show half a sign of trouble, "but if it is me who is going to use it, then as long as you want, I can make that rooster's transfiguration duration to last more than a week."

Ultimately, he is from the Dumbledore family after all, and also a wizard who has lived for more than a hundred years, regardless of whether it is a magic spell or a transfiguration, his magical attainment is far beyond that of more than ninety-five percent of wizards in the wizarding world.

Jon was not surprised by this, if Aberforth could not even reach this level, then he would have to question his standard.

"I will turn it into a small, portable and inconspicuous object, and when the time comes in which you need to use it, you can directly cancel the transfiguration spell on it, it should not require any advanced transfiguration skills."

"But as I said before, the rooster idea is good, but the odds of it not being able to deal with the basilisk are very high, if that's all you're going to use." Aberforth sat across from Jon and said with a serious gaze, "You need to do a good job of supporting the rooster from the side, not only to protect it from being killed but also to control the basilisk's movements so that it can't escape quickly."

Jon finished his sandwich, then habitually touched the wand in his hand, and said.

"Although the basilisk has very high resistance to magic, it's not like no spell will work on it, right?"

"Its defence is actually far from the sort of level of defence that Dragon Hide has, but even if there are indeed many spells that can in fact affect it, can you use them?" Aberforth looked at Jon, he was not mocking or anything but asked a very serious question.

Jon shook his head and truthfully said all the spells he knew at present.

"Full Body-Bind Curse, Cleaning Spell, Wand Lighting Charm, Levitation Charm, Unlocking Charm, Repairing Charm, Severing Charm, Softening Charm and Locking Spell (the last six spells are included in the 'The Standard Book of Spells - Grade 1')."

To be honest, with only one year of contact with magic, Jon was able to learn so many spells was already out of Aberforth's expectation, and the full-body bind curse can also be considered a medium difficulty level spell, which the average first-year student can not even scratch the surface of, so the fact that Jon can learn it, is already considered very talented.

"When I was on the wagon, most of my energy was focused on how to become proficient in the levitation charm, so I relaxed a bit on learning other spells, otherwise I would have learned some more useful magic spells."

Hearing Jon's explanation, Aberforth could not help but frown slightly.

"Proficient in the levitation charm? Your most proficient spell is this?"

Seeing that Aberforth's obvious thought of 'spending time on a spell like the levitation charm is purely sick in the head', Jon did not make any more verbal explanations, instead, he directly used actual actions to show him part of the "levitation charm" that he knew.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

He wore the ring around his neck when he entered the secret passage, so after Jon recited the incantation, he flew up in front of Aberforth!

Looking at how Jon, who had only recited the levitation charm incantation pronunciation incorrectly, flew up without any external object, Aberforth's eyes had become as big as a cow's eye.

He realized at this time that the levitation charm he understood and the "levitation charm" that Jon learned to use could be said to be two different kinds of magic.

After showing what he currently knows, Jon released the effect of the "levitation charm", he did not want to show off anything, but at this time he should give a clear account of what he knows so that Aberforth can determine what aspects of his abilities he has to make up for.
