Chapter 64: References and references

After returning to the Gryffindor common room, Albert made himself a cup of milk tea and asked the roommate again if he wanted to go to the library to write homework for the spell class. After being rejected again, he packed his schoolbag and The three waved goodbye to the library.

There are not many people in the library during class time. Albert walked into the library and saw Shanna who was flipping through the book looking for information at a glance. He walked towards the girl, pulled the chair slightly and sat down, and whispered, "Hope I'm not late?"

Albert came on time, and it is exactly 2 o'clock.

"No, the homework of the spell class is a bit difficult. I didn't find much useful information." There are a few books next to Shanna. She has come half an hour in advance, but she still hasn't found any useful information. .

Albert flipped through several thick books on the table, couldn't help but shook his head, and directly greeted Shanna to go to area c, looking for the books he needed on the fifth row of bookshelves.

In other words, the "Selected Curses of the Nineteenth Century" that I borrowed last time has not yet returned.

However, the book "Selected Curses of the Nineteenth Century" is almost finished, as expected, I should finish it quickly. It's better to get it, after all, the time to borrow the book is almost up.

Albert pulled the "Spell Achievement" he found from the bookshelf, and handed it to Shanna next to him. The young witch looked at the book Albert handed herself in amazement.

Soon, Albert took out the "Selected Curses of the Eighteenth Century" he was looking for, and returned to the desk with Shanna.

"How do you know that this book contains what we are looking for?" Shanna was surprised to find that the two books that Albert had picked contained the information they were looking for. Then she felt depressed again. What is it that she just worked so hard to find the information? .

"The book "The Achievement of the Curse" is actually very useful, at least for the written test." Albert explained, "The Glowing Curse was invented in the 18th century, so it should be in the "Selected Curses of the 18th Century" Can find relevant information."

"Your brain is so good, why didn't you go to Ravenclaw?" Shanna asked suspiciously.

"Who knows?" Albert shrugged and whispered, "Perhaps, the Sorting Hat thinks I will have a better life in Gryffindor."

Find the information, the next step is actually very simple, that is, extract the appropriate sentence:

For example, the luminous curse was invented in the 18th century (1772) by a witch named Levina Monkstanley, who was once a silent man in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

The discovery process of the magic wand glowing curse: One day, when Levina was looking for a quill in a dusty corner, she lit the end of her wand. This surprised her colleagues. They all thought the spell was very good. Useful, and document it...

A paragraph of Barabara is an excerpt anyway.

I don’t know why, Albert suddenly misses the copy and paste function on the computer a bit, and he doesn’t know whether magic can do this.

If you can, it will be easier to write papers in the future.

"Ugh!"

Albert sighed lightly, and realized that he was distracted. He had written the wrong word, and he couldn't help but feel a little entangled.

He crossed out the wrong word, dipped the quill pen in the ink bottle, and continued to copy. In fact, the content of the thesis is very simple. It is a simple copy of "Magic Achievement" and "Selected Curses of the Eighteenth Century", and then write some of the problems I encountered when practicing the luminous mantra, and then write it down. The way to solve the problem.

Albert found that after writing these contents, he had already occupied a large part of the parchment, and Shanna, who was still flipping the book next to him, looked stunned.

"What's wrong with you?" Albert asked in confusion.

"You..." Shanna pointed to the parchment.

"Want to see?" Albert didn't mind, and he passed the parchment directly to Shanna, and he turned over the content of the extinguishing curse, which was not in the "Selected Curses of the Eighteenth Century". However, Albert still found relevant records in "Achievement of the Curse", then found the relevant books on the shelf, and continued to copy.

Shanna looked at her essay, which was not written much, and then at Albert's neatly planned essay, and suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.

It turns out that the thesis can still be written like this!

Shanna also knew that most of the content in this paper was copied from the book, but so what.

Albert said this is called reference or quotation.

If you squeeze it yourself, it is estimated that you will not be able to squeeze a 3-inch paper.

It took an hour and a half, and Albert finished this paper on the magic wand and the extinguishing curse.

Although half of the papers were copied, many of them are based on the various problems and solutions that Albert encountered when he was learning the spell. The final summary is Albert's in-depth exploration of the spell. For example, you can make the light from one end of the wand leave the wand, and store the light of the glowing spell. Or, use the extinguishing spell to control the weird idea of ​​surrounding lights. UU reading

Then... Combine the two to make a light extinguisher.

呸 is the concept of magic lamp. If you can use the light-off curse and the glowing curse to create a magic lamp with the effect of Muggle electric lights, wizards will no longer need to use oil lamps!

These are the last thoughts left behind. They are still just some ideas. Albert wrote them on the paper, but in fact, he still wants to use the hands of Professor Flitwick to help him complete it.

After all, Professor Flitwick is an expert in spells, and perhaps his ingenuity in this area can attract his interest.

The mission of the magic lamp has not been completed yet!

"How about?" Albert waited for the ink on the parchment to dry, used the copying spell to copy a copy and handed it to Shanna, and pointed at some places, telling the other party to write according to their own experience, as everyone can The information I found is naturally inserted into the paper as an introduction and polish according to my own meaning, which makes it even more lofty.

"I thought it would take a long time to write!" Shanna looked at her parchment and said with emotion.

Now, she somewhat understands why Albert said that she wrote this essay to deepen her understanding of the glowing curse and the extinguishing curse.

This is indeed the case.

From looking for information, to copying sentences in books, to finishing the thesis. At least, she knows when the spell was invented, who was the inventor, what impact it had after the invention, who made improvements and innovations on the spell, and what problems she encountered when practicing the spell, how to solve it, and how to solve it? The prospects and prospects of the curse...

Anyway, after writing this pile of things, it must be over three inches, so I don't worry about not writing so many numbers.

Moreover, what I want in the end is that if I don’t understand the light-emitting curse and the extinguishing curse, I really can’t write these things.
