Accuracy and dexterity have recently become another subject that Gail has started practicing after proficiency.At the same time, the two children who returned to No. 19 Spider's End Lane also went to Evans' house to visit the Evans sisters.

"Gail!" Lily who answered the door happily opened the door after seeing who it was, and saw Sif behind Gail. "Come in, mom made delicious biscuits! Petunia is upstairs reading a book!"

"This is Mr. Snape!" Mrs. Evans came out of the living room and greeted Severus with a smile when they met for the first time. "It's amazing that I have lived alone for so many years! Now, let's go upstairs!"

Gail took a breath in surprise, but then realized something, and followed Lily, who looked a little puzzled, upstairs.

Petunia was sitting in the living room on the second floor, with basic thick biology books and Lily's subject textbooks in hand.She adjusted her glasses, and looked at the three people upstairs with dissatisfaction: "Well, I can't count on you. What kind of school doesn't allow students to review and preview their own learning knowledge during the holiday? It's too Ridiculous!"

"Petunia started to get angry after knowing that I couldn't use the wand to cast any spells during the holidays. It's been two weeks now, and it still hasn't calmed down." Lily whispered to Gale a little scared.

Gail swallowed too.I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that after spending a year at the girls' boarding school, Petunia's whole person became more imposing.

Severus was a little displeased with Lily and Gale's silence: "Who emphasized wizard secrecy during the Christmas holidays?"

Petunia looked at Severus behind Lily and Gale, and lowered the arms around her chest: "Hello, you must be Mr. Snape. Thank you for taking care of my sister this year, you You can call me Penny."

Such an opening immediately broke the confrontation and quickly shortened the distance between strangers.It seems that boarding school is not for nothing!Penny is growing up great!

"Severus. Hello," Sever returned.

"Well, since there is the Wizarding Secrecy Law, we have to obey it." Petunia gestured for Lily to sit beside her, then nodded to Gail and Sev, "Have you finished your summer homework?"

"Yes." Gale almost reflexively added "ma'am".

Petunia nodded in satisfaction, fiddled with her three-strand braided hair and said: "Speaking of which, I actually have an idea, and I hope to try it out during the holiday. But unfortunately, because the underage wizard is not Being able to use magic while away from school, I'll just have to wait. Or are you interested in verifying it for me?"

"Please." Severus said bluntly, he was also curious about Petunia's thoughts.From Gail and Lily, Sif knew that Penny was really a very thoughtful girl.This is an outstanding talent.Moreover, due to some reasons, Penny is very self-disciplined and precocious, which also makes Penny see problems more comprehensively even though she is in the same age group as the three of them.

"As you know, my school is quite special. In the recent school year, the people I came into contact with were a bit...high, so I also came into contact with some interesting books. These books gave me a little inspiration." Penny began to talk about the content of the experiment , first made such a somewhat vague foreshadowing. "I want to know, if a water pipe is turned into a snake, eats a mouse, and uses the magic stop to turn the snake back into a water pipe, will the mouse die? Is the cause of the death of the mouse the society?"

"...Is there any more?" Gail didn't know how to answer, so he continued to ask Petunia.

"Turn a mouse into a cup, and after that," Petunia made a "push" motion, pushed a book off the table, and continued after picking up the book that fell to the floor, "the cup must be It will be shattered. If you use the spell to stop at this time, will the mouse die? What is the cause of death?"

"That..." Lily interjected, "Petunia, do you hate mice so much?"

Gale slapped her face with a slap.Why is Lily's focus a bit off?Shouldn't he be more concerned about Penny's mental health at this time?A 12 or 3-year-old girl shouldn't think about this kind of question at all, okay?Especially the bloody question!

Petunia shrugged indifferently: "Because most experiments are done with mice, I'll just say mice. Of course, you can use other animals if you want. Spiders are also fine!"

Hehe, not good at all.Gail said in his heart, and turned his attention to Sif: This is what you promised, you can do it!

Severus fell into deep thought because of Petunia's words, and then answered Petunia's question with some hesitation: "If the spell is completely successful, both mice will die. The cause of the former one's death is snake swallowing, and the latter one The cause of death is fragmentation."

"How do you prove it?" Petunia asked Severus persistently.

Sev considered his words carefully, and said cautiously: "In the case of the complete success of the Transfiguration Charm, the pipe is a snake. Assuming it is non-venomous, after a snake eats a mouse, the mouse's bones will be injured during the swallowing process. It will be digested by the snake. Before the digestion starts, the spell stops immediately. The mouse is dead and will not be resurrected. The cause of death is extrusion, that is, the snake swallows. The latter is the same. Curse experiment."

"Then suppose I don't spell-stop immediately after the mouse-turned-cup breaks, but first use Restore and then spell-stop? Will the mouse still be alive? If it dies, what is the cause of death?"

"If the spell is completely successful, the mouse will definitely be alive!" This time Lily also joined in, and without waiting for Sev to answer, she said the answer by analogy.

Gail covered his face and could hardly bear to look directly at it.What kind of girl did I make friends with?It's scary here, I want to go home!

Petunia seemed to be convinced, and didn't continue to ask, but then thought of another question: "After the pipe turned into a snake, it has the habit of a snake. This is a successful transfiguration. So has anyone successfully applied transfiguration on a human body? Like in fairy tales where the prince turns into a frog, a swan, or something like that."

Gail recalled it for a while, but he didn't expect such an example to happen before, but he knew that after the fourth year of the protagonists in the original book, the next generation heir of the Malfoy family would have the nickname "White Glaze" from then on.

"Then what about an animal becoming a human? Turning a mouse into a human, will the mouse also forget its nature as a mouse?" Petunia asked again.

Gail was silent and saw that Lily and Sif were both lost in thought, and suddenly felt that his life was dark. "Let's eat biscuits!"

Lily acted as if she hadn't heard it. After thinking for a while, she suddenly jumped up and ran to her room, took out a set of "World Famous Fairy Tales", and turned to the story "Miss Cat".Then, as if he had thought of something, he dug out "Puss in Boots" from another book.

"These stories..." Petunia had read these books, and immediately understood what Lily meant, so she handed the book to Gail.Seeing that Gail waved his hand without interest, he handed it to Sif.All three ignored Gale's offer to "eat a cookie."

This was the first time Severus had come into contact with fairy tales for children. Irene and Tobias were not that good at taking care of children.After a quick glance at the fairy tales, he was a little surprised.

The people who wrote these stories were undoubtedly ordinary people, but would ordinary people know so much about how magic works?And it's so plainly advertised!

"The working principle of magic is actually like a rigorous logical question, can you stop being entangled?" Gail inserted his forehead.

"What did you say?" Penny reacted first, and looked at Gale.

Faced with three pairs of eyes staring at him, Gail hardly dared to breathe due to the pressure, but he still patiently explained: "If we regard magic as a kind of science..."

"But science is science, it's materialistic! And magic... oh!" Petunia was about to say, "Magic is spiritual," but she immediately understood what Gail meant.

"Materialism or idealism is actually at this stage. Note that it is only our classification standard at this stage. But this is only for thinking. But power really exists, and our understanding is constantly occurring with the development of things and the accumulation of knowledge It changes." Gail spread his hands and said, "We don't know whether our division is correct. It's like I didn't know that I was a wizard before I was 11 years old. To give a simple example, we will count 2. Before numbers, we only know the existence of 1, but this does not mean that 2 does not exist, it is just that we do not know 2 because of our own limited cognition. Or we can call 2 magic and 1 science.”

"Yes." Penny recalled a conversation she had with Gail in front of the lemongrass seeds, "It is said that people in Atlantis have both high technology and magic, so..."

"So power is power, but the name and type are different, but they are all the same!" Lily ended happily.

"Let's assume, are there other types of power? Like 3?" Severus asked another question after everyone had finished speaking.

Penny nodded: "We can't deny its existence just because we don't understand it. It's 'very likely' to exist."

"Isn't it a little too far-reaching for us to discuss this topic?" Lily asked a little puzzled, "We only knew 1 in the past, and now we know 2, but who knows where 3 is?"

"Let's eat biscuits!" Gail pushed the cookie plate towards Lily, hoping to end this serious and dull academic topic.

Seeing that Gail and Lily were not in the mood to think anymore, Sif naturally kept silent.Penicole was not in the habit of singing a one-man show, so she naturally joined the three of them eating biscuits.What the four children present never expected was that the 3 in their mouths was engaged in a somewhat tragic counterattack battle on the other side of the ocean.However, there is still a period of time before this counterattack will spread to London.

So now, our four teenagers are still enjoying desserts with friends and family on a warm afternoon.
