May the magic be with you! Enjoy!
______________________
After our secret walk, it was easier to get over the excessive attention Hermione received from the other girls in the Gryffindor - at least they didn\'t bother from other Houses but watched from a safe distance. The only girl left, in fact, besieging Hermione on a regular basis, now and then grabbing her under the elbow in a friendly way and trying to find out all the details - Lavender Brown. However, in response to questions like, "How did they take a look? What exactly did they say? How did they say it?" - Hermione did not answer, or answered vaguely, because both she and I knew perfectly well how the Lavender Brown word of mouth works. Blondie will definitely build on the basis of what has been said completely unprecedented stories, intrigues, and events that allegedly led to what happened and what should happen next.
In general, the complete lack of any reactions, both from Hermione and me and from the Slytherins, led to the gradual fading of gossip, even despite the non-triviality of the event. By Friday, such fame had ceased to be a problem.
But, apart from that, another important event happened on Friday. More precisely, it all started on Thursday after the Charms class - Professor Flitwick asked Hermione and me to come to him on Friday, as soon as we were free. So we did. Directly to his office, adjacent to the Charms classroom in Ravenclaw Tower.
After knocking on the door and waiting for an invitation, Hermione and I went inside.
"Professor?"
Flitwick was sitting at his massive wooden desk, bogged down in a variety of different parchments, papers, and books, covered with a variety of calculations.
"Ah, Mr. Knight, Miss Granger!" the professor looked up cheerfully at us, immediately beckoning with his hand. "Come quickly!"
Closing the door behind us, we walked over to the desk, and Flitwick magically gathered the pile of various papers into one large stack with one motion of his hand.
"Here," the professor slid the stack in our direction. "Here are some interesting assumptions for an idea that Miss Granger suggested to me about the multidimensional nature of space."
"Can we get more details?" I leaned over the papers a little, beginning to flip through them, reading and memorizing at the same time.
"Oh! Absolutely! But not for long... As we\'ve learned through so many experiments, almost all materials are equally capable of holding magic. Some are better, some worse, some let magic through more slowly, and some faster. This is no secret to us. Just as it\'s no secret that organic materials have the best properties. Miss Granger, on the other hand, has noted interesting things in some of her hypotheses: some properties of Stasis charms, the classic antimagic Protego, space expansion, and the possibility of recalculating them with the introduction of additional spatial dimensions into the equations or, conversely, their withdrawal."
Hermione smiled and looked embarrassed, even if it wasn\'t much, and this reaction made me and the professor smile.
"It seems..." the thoughts in my head were running at a tremendous speed. "I have a hunch."
"I never doubted either of you," the professor smiled. "Miss Granger pointed out that in the Extension Charm, you have to work with three spatial dimensions. It would seem that only on the basis of this you can already create an accumulator by simply expanding the space, but no. The area of the Extension Charm enchantment is magically isolated — have you noticed that, for example, to lure the contents from such an area, at least the tip of the wand should be placed there?"
"So we have to make the Extension Charm area such that it lets magic through."
"That\'s right, Mr. Knight. But at the same time, you should understand that it is not possible to expand the space inside a dense object without destroying matter. At least with the current calculations and notions of world order. Miss Granger, among other things, noticed that the Stasis charm is very similar to the classic Protego. But if the shield film has no thickness in principle, creating a visual illusion of it, then Stasis is a volumetric field. Yes, I know that there may be a question about the shape of the film — it is three-dimensional, but we are now considering the thickness, which is an infinitesimal quantity. And the similarity of these spells and charms is that, even if not as a basis, they use an effect similar to ..."
Professor Flitwick\'s speech was getting faster, and he himself was involuntarily making various gestures now and then as if trying to describe his vision with them.
Our conversation with the professor dragged on for several hours, at the end of which it was clear that we still had a lot of work to do.
"Anyway, guys," the professor jumped out of his chair, approaching us. "Let\'s think of a scheme and do the calculations. You, as I see it, came to the solution of some logical aspects pretty quickly. And then, we will calculate the whole thing together and try to experiment. Except..."
The professor drooped.
"We have to wait for Professor Umbridge to leave our school."
"Okay, Professor," we nodded with a smile.
After picking up and putting the stack of papers in Hermione\'s bag, we headed out to dinner.. I didn\'t need the calculations - they were already in my head.
