On the other hand, George again entered into the rhythm of concentrated research and study of magic.
Tony Stark is okay over there with Wolverine watching, and Tony Stark isn't dumb; it's not that easy for Obadiah to take him out.
Even if an accident happens and he is killed, there's nothing we can do. At most, the stock price will drop and lose some money, but with his strength, he will naturally have the opportunity to make it back through other means in the future.
For him now, establishing a relationship with Tony Stark is undoubtedly better for his future development, but not taking this step is not a dead end either.
Money is a generally equivalent commodity; only by spending it can it be useful, and not spending it is just waste paper.
Even if Stark Industries' stock continues to plummet, its scale is there, and the stocks can still be exchanged for quite a bit of money, enough to cover their expenses for seven or eight years.
By then, he would have long learned the spell for Muggle disguise and Loyalty to Harry, and there would be no need to worry about safety at school.
So it is most important to concentrate on magic, and other things are secondary.
Hogwarts Castle, Charms class, Professor Flitwick is guiding the essentials of the Floating Charm.
"Never forget the delicate wrist movement we've been practicing, a flick and a shake, remember, a flick and a shake."
It is also important to pronounce the spell correctly. Don't forget, Professor Barufio, he mispronounced the 'f' as an 's', and ended up lying on the floor with a wild boar standing on his chest."
"That would be a good alternative, relying on this technique, we will never lack beef in the future."
Hearing Professor Flitwick's example, George muttered to himself.
In fact, he was just complaining, and he knew that the cow in the example wasn't actually conjured out of thin air. It must have been something like a spell that transported a nearby cow or something similar to the transformation charm.
Magic may be magical, but it also follows its own unique rules and is not all-powerful.
At least, it's impossible to conjure food and water out of thin air.
Many spells that summon creatures such as cows, snakes, horses, birds, flowers, and so on are actually extensions of the magic of transfer and transformation.
If it's a transfer spell, then transferring something that doesn't exist in the surrounding area is impossible, for example, if you are in a desert and say 's' instead of 'f' one hundred times, there will still be no cow.
If it's a transformation spell, then the cow is under the influence of magic and will disappear or revert to its original form once the magic effect ends.
It's not possible to obtain an unlimited amount of free beef to satisfy hunger through this method; at best, one can only sample the taste.
There are many similar rules in magic, if one does not learn them well and understands the prohibitions, they may accidentally hurt themselves some day.
Luna's mother died due to the experiment and improvement of the spell.
"Now, everyone begin the practice."
After explaining the theoretical basis of the Floating Charm, Professor Flitwick let everyone start trying to practice with feathers.
At this moment, George also didn't act low-profile. Naturally, he lifted his hand and cast a floating charm towards the table beside him.
"Leviosa!"
As the incantation sound echoed, the desk immediately floated in the air above the classroom, making the young witches who were still trying to make their feathers float look stunned.
"Very good, George, five points to Slytherin."
Even though he was a bit distracted in class, he still needed to earn those points.
After class, Professor Flitwick picked up his book to leave the classroom, but he was stopped at the door by George, who ran faster than a rabbit.
"I'm afraid my lunch will have to wait again!"
Professor Flitwick said with a sigh, clearly this was not the first time it had happened. He was relieved but also somewhat exasperated.
George smiled broadly:
"Professor, I have been studying the spell to shield us from Muggles recently, and there are a few things that I don't understand. I believe you won't mind wasting a little time to help me with my doubts, explaining them to your eager student."
He didn't have a choice. Professors have many classes and they also have their own personal matters on weekends. Without blocking them after class, he really wouldn't find anyone else.
Not all professors are as willing as Snape to guide magic in their private time.
An hour later, George, satisfied with himself, let Professor Flitwick go and himself head to the Great Hall to have lunch.
It's only two days until Halloween, but the weather has not improved; it has been raining for a whole week now and continues to pour.
Although it's raining, his mood is not too bad because he has found answers to his magic questions.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione, have you had your lunch yet?"
As soon as he entered the Great Hall, George saw the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the Gryffindor table.
At this point, the Great Hall is usually almost empty, so the Harry trio standing there stands out.
"George, we're discussing the All Souls' Eve party."
Harry said with a frown about being invited to the All Souls' Eve party.
Yesterday, when he came back from Quidditch training, he accidentally got dirt on the castle floor, and was caught by the caretaker Filch. It was almost No-Head Nick who helped him.
So, he agreed with Nick to attend Nick's five-hundredth birthday celebration in the basement on Halloween's eve.
"Don't be so downbeat, the Halloween party happens every year, but the All Souls' Eve ghostly celebration might only happen once. I think it will be wonderful, and I'll go with you then."
Hermione was clearly interested in this mysterious ghostly celebration.
Ron, however, had the opposite opinion:
"Why would someone celebrate the day they died? I think it's rather disrespectful!"
"Harry has already promised Nick. He said he has to go to the party and can't go back on his word."
Hermione stood up and looked down at Ron, as if ready to argue, which scared Ron into quickly changing his tune:
"You're right, Harry. As a good friend, I'll go with you!"
"Thank you."
Harry's expression slightly improved, and then he looked at George with a hint of anticipation:
"George, do you want to come and have a look?"
"I'll pass. I don't want to miss my first Halloween at Hogwarts."
George declined Harry's invitation with a smile.
If he didn't remember wrong, the first time the Basilisk moved was on Halloween, and it petrified Filch's cat.
He didn't want to get involved with Basilisks and Voldemort so early, and he was indeed interested in the Halloween party at Hogwarts.
"A friendly reminder to you all. According to the records I read in the Book of Ghosts, ghosts can't eat normal food and can only get some sensation by sniffing extremely pungent smells."
So the food at the ghostly banquet, I guess it's mostly food that has been decomposed for a long time, so you'd better bring some food with you. Otherwise, you'll be hungry."
"Oh Merlin, I shouldn't have promised Headless Nick."
Harry immediately fell into despair, while Hermione became very curious and asked George,
"The Book of Ghosts, is that a book in the library? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"It's on the top shelf of the third to last bookcase from the inside. The whole library only has one copy, so you wouldn't have seen it before. I was interested in ghosts, so I went out of my way to find it."
George picked up the food sent over by the house-elves using magic and ate as he chatted with Hermione.
He wasn't just interested in books about ghosts. He was thinking about the future, if his own life was coming to an end or if he was killed accidentally, whether there was a chance to transform into a ghost form first to keep living, and then figure out how to come back to life.
