Hermione Weasley - Conference of Research and Development of Magic and Magical Kind
{}{}{}{}
The announcer grinned staring over the crowd eagerly awaiting the next speaker. "I present to you the Minster of the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Hermione Weasley." Hermione took a deep breath as she approached the podium.
Waiting for the applause to die out she began. "To my esteemed colleagues I wish to present to you today my findings on research and application of Wandless magic. I have done intense studies of the wizards and witches of history that have been documented to a natural talent for wandless magic. Some of which were Tom Riddle, Merlin, Severus Snape, and even the still living, though, secluded witch Morgana Le Fay.
"Before I detail the exact methods and results of my research I would like to point out what we have carelessly labeled as accidental magic, is in fact, a mild form of wandless magic. It was while I was babysitting my dear Godson that the idea came to me. We as a community take magic for granted. We use it as we wish and make it conform to a set of rules we established hundreds and hundreds of years ago. My Godson had his first large scale accidental magic when I refused him his play broom. In his temper tantrum he unknowingly transfigured a box of Chocolate frogs into copy of his toy broom which worked and functioned as a real boom did.
"It is beyond the capabilities of my team to do such a thing. We are simply too old and set in our ways. As much as we wanted to transfigure an inanimate object into a similar broom that looked like a toy broom but could react as a Nimbus 2000, we could not. We could make samples into brooms but because we had already thought of such brooms limited for toddlers. No matter the level of concentration we could not achieve what my six year old Godson could.
"We expanded the control in our experiment to include younger children, varying from the ages of six to fifteen. We sampled wizards in their late eighties as well, but achieved no success. With our younger samples, all of the six year olds could achieve abnormal tasks such as turning pebbles into Unicorns and sustaining fire in a magically sealed sphere. The older the child the harder it was for them to achieve the tasks until ultimately only one fifteen year old Hufflepuff could turn a daisy into a mandrake.
"As I stated before no living wizard or witch still active in the magical community can perform wandless magic. The last known wizard that I had even heard of performing wandless magic was a one Severus Snape. He had the ability to fly without incantation, broom, or animagus form. It is my belief that Professor," She paused for a moment mentally kicking herself for being unable to say Mister, "Snape view magic in a way that no other to date has been able to. My correspondence with Morgana Le Fay has been met with resistance and she refuses to share her knowledge. My speculations are at best that Professor Snape," Another mental kick, "could command magic without verbal or mental incantations. That he could fly merely because he wished it so and the ambient magic in the atmosphere made it so.
"I would like to expand my research into early childhood development. As without a proper 'control' subject to study Wandless magic, we as a community will be unable to fight against threats of Dark Lords much like Voldemort. He did not even have complete mastery of wandless magic, for that we will always be grateful."
Hermione's mind partial shutdown as she recited the rest of her speech. As she continued to look engaged and passionate about her subject she eyed her friend in the crowd. Harry was always at her speeches and research conferences just because of the things he could learn to protect the community. He was the most forward thinking Head Auror the department had ever seen. He was still through and through the Boy-Who-Lived. What bothered her at all was the knowing flash in his emerald eyes. He knew something about her topic that she hadn't considered and she couldn't wait to hear it.
