In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 55: Unsuccessful disarming

The ultimate dream of mankind has always been conquering the sky.

The only difference between the ordinary world and the magical world is that wizards invented flying broomsticks and flying carpets earlier, and after realizing that human beings can barely manage to fly with their own power, they choose to use external forces.

But there are still many aspiring wizards from ancient times to the present who want to rely solely on their own ability to get rid of the restraints of the earth.

But according to records, only one person can do this, namely Voldemort.

His body can dissolve a black mist of magic, which allows him to soar into the sky without any support, and he also taught this magic to Snape.

As for Dumbledore and Grindelwald, who is also at the top level of the magical world, they may also be able to fly with their own powerful magic, but this is definitely not a kind of structured magic, otherwise, they would probably have taught it to their own men.

From this aspect alone you can see, at least in the study of magic, Voldemort is truly gifted.

Nevertheless, in all these long centuries of well-kept records in the magical world, it was only Voldemort who did it first.

Slughorn had not learned the way of spell casting through the ring, but he had read all those magic materials left behind by his old friend.

The ring casting only changed the target of the magic spell, and definitely did not provide any enhanced effect on the spell itself.

With that being said, he always believed that Jon might really be able to make himself fly in the future purely by relying on the levitation charm, but he thought that this process would take very, very long, maybe twenty, thirty or even fifty years, it's definitely not right now.

But the scene unfolded in front of him was not in any way fake, Jon just flew in front of him, using the very ring he gave him, reciting a perfectly normal levitation charm!

The ceiling of the storage room should be much higher than the one in the dormitory, close to six meters high, Jon floating in mid-air can completely control his altitude and direction freely.

He actually simply replaced the core of the levitation charm with another equivalent one, turning the simple core intent to float up into a gravitational force control to fly up.

Nothing else has changed, so the normal control method of the levitation charm has not changed either.

But Jon is very, very aware of the biggest flaw this magic currently has, the fact, that it can't last too long.

Even if he has spent the past few months practising the "levitation charm" proficiently enough, the effect can now be maintained steadily for no more than a minute.

Slughorn has recovered from the shock, he raised the wand in his hand, and the vipers that covered the ground began to crawl towards the wall, after touching the wall they turned into an ever-growing vine and began to spread in the direction of Jon using the wall as a root.

"You've really surprised me enough today, Jon." Even though their wands are now facing each other, the fat walrus still has not minced his words of praise for Jon, "How long has it been, less than half a year, less than half a year since you actually started to learn this way of casting spells, and you have already accomplished the most perfect mastery of one magic spell."

"But even if you perform shockingly well, and you can truly fly with this spell, will it make any difference to the outcome?"

Jon's gaze still remained fixed on the crack in Slughorn's shield charm, the palm of his hand that held his wand tightly was sweating, and there were already rapidly spreading vines breaking into the space within twenty centimetres around him.

The wand that Slughorn wielded during the transfiguration spell still held in the same posture without changing, and even though Jon brought him a lot of surprises today, he never felt that this student of his could really stop himself.

Because Jon's exposure to magic is really too short, so short that if a normal student can use the levitation charm naturally at this time, they can be called very talented.

What he managed to do today has already surpassed virtually all of his peers, but after all, he is only 11 years old.

The vines that completely sealed off the surrounding space which was formed by a transfiguration spell could actually be solved with a simple common untransfiguration, and the seemingly invulnerable shield charm on Slughorn could possibly be shattered by any spell as long as his magic power becomes more powerful.

Jon can certainly do all these things in the future, but he obviously can't right now.

The only self-preservation spell he could use in battle was the levitation charm that was used on his body, and the only offensive spell he used was a stunning spell, both of which were solved by Slughorn, so he seemed to be completely devoid of any other means.

But just as the vines controlled by Slughorn touched his coat and were about to bind him, Jon's mouth rang out with the sound of the incantation that had been used for the third time in this battle!

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

This time, unlike the previous two times, he finally swung his wand, and the tip of the wand was aimed in the direction of Slughorn, who is protected within the shield charm or to be more precise, it was actually aimed at the wand he was holding in his hand!

Without any spell beam shooting out, the magic power just invisibly passed through the broken crack of the shield charm, and instantly influenced the wand lightly held in Slughorn's hand!

Because of the complete lack of advance anticipation, Slughorn simply did not have any chance to react, a not too light force jostled the wand out of his hand, which then floated and flew into mid-air!

This levitation charm used by Jon has exactly the same effect as the disarming charm, but there was a lack of any forewarning, plus, the lack of need to shatter the shield charm did not provide any time for reaction.

When the wand broke out of his hand, Slughorn's entire body froze.

Jon did not give up this perfect opportunity that he had worked so hard to create, he struggled to break free from the vines that had wrapped around his ankles, stretching out his other hand that did not hold the wand, and grabbed the wand of the fat walrus that was floating in mid-air!

However, when his fingertips touched the wand, the wand suddenly seemed to have self-awareness and turned away from Jon's outstretched hand!

The "levitation charm" placed on it also lost its containment, and the wand deftly fell back into Slughorn's hand!

Jon's eyes widened at this unbelievable scene, he had never heard of a wizard's wand that was disarmed could still go back on its own!

Slughorn, who had regained his wand, finally came back to his senses, with a shaken look on his face, and then without hesitation, he waved his wand to accelerate the growth of the vines.

This time, Jon, who has really used up all his means, was trapped firmly into a dumpling and completely lost the possibility of any resistance.
