Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 156 Heart Blindness

"Qiu, you can try to be more firm when reciting the spell, and throw out the wand with more force."

"Whoosh" Qiu's wand came out of his hand and hit him.

Zhang Xiao tilted his head and hid, stretched out his hand to grab the wand, and paused as he looked at the little witch whose face turned red and hurriedly apologized:

"Don't be too strong. At least you can ensure that you can hold the wand firmly."

Qiu hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then continued to sparring with Hermione sheepishly. In fact, Hermione was quite proficient in mastering this spell.

It's just that Hermione also has her own problem, which is that she is too standardized. Every spell she casts is quite standardized, including the gestures for casting spells and the rhythm and tones of the spells.

It can only be described as standardized, which leads to a problem, it is relatively rigid.

Zhang Xiao tried to get her to relax and be more casual, or try to swing the spell like a fishing rod, but Hermione couldn't use it as long as she changed the movements drastically.

This situation left Zhang Xiao scratching his head. He had no choice but to do so. Hermione was originally a Muggle wizard and was in the stage of understanding and integrating everything in the wizarding world.

The second grade was originally the time when the anchoring was the deepest. She had to wait until the third or fourth grade, when her understanding of the curse had reached a higher level, before she could break the 'rules' she had established in her heart.

Just follow the rules. At least this approach will allow her to quickly learn a large number of spells, which can be digested and settled later.

Davis and Parkinson were assigned to a group. The two seemed to be engaged in a life-and-death duel, holding up their wands and shouting spells at the top of their lungs. It can only be said that the emotional bonus was quite considerable. The two were often attacked by each other. The curse knocked him to the ground.

After getting up, his strong desire for revenge actually made the curse even worse. In desperation, he had to regroup the two people, but they didn't expect that they were not happy about it.

He said that he must compete here to prove to the opponent that Muggle wizards (pure-blood wizards) are definitely not worse (that is, stronger) than the opponent.

Malfoy and Harry took a different approach. Both of them had mastered the Iron Armor Curse. Neither of them dared to take action easily. They just waited for the other to recite the curse and rebound, and then laughed at the other fiercely after succeeding.

Cedric and Ron are the complete guides. It can only be said that this Hogwarts warrior is worthy of his reputation, and his meticulous patience in teaching Ron cannot be overemphasized.

In fact, the talents of these young wizards are not low, and they are almost the most outstanding group in the second grade, except for Neville.

Most of Zhang Xiao's energy is also devoted to Neville. For some reason, Neville always seems to be confused about magic spells.

Now in his second year, there are only a handful of spells he can cast, and he can't even cast the very skilled little curses that almost all little wizards use.

"Neville, the disarming spell is not difficult. Don't stress. First, imagine that there is an invisible thread on your wand wrapped around the other person's wand."

Zhang Xiao used his transformation technique to create a wooden man holding a wooden stick, and patiently guided Neville.

Neville's round little face showed a trace of pain. He rubbed his forehead and asked pitifully:

"Zhang, I can't imagine it."

Can't imagine it? This is a very simple picture, right? Zhang Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his wand again, and a crystalline thread appeared in the air, linking Neville's wand and the wooden man's stick together.

"Neville, keep this scene in mind and don't be impatient yet." Zhang Xiao asked Neville to stare at the thread for a while and asked:

"Do you remember it now?"

Neville nodded, closed his eyes and thought hard for a while, then shook his head in frustration and pain:

"I'm sorry, Zhang. As long as I close my eyes and imagine, my head will hurt. I...I can't imagine anything."

Hiss. There are already real objects that can’t be compared with imagination? Zhang Xiao secretly took a breath of air. This didn't seem to be a matter of talent. After thinking about it, he continued to try and asked:

"Neville, you are lying on the grass with the wind blowing. There are blue sky and white clouds in the sky. Can you imagine what that picture looks like?"

Neville was still greeted with guilt, pain and shrinking eyes.

Zhang Xiao suddenly felt a thump in his heart. Could it be that Neville was mentally blind?

Heart blindness is a disease that he only learned about shortly before his death in his previous life. It is also called aphantasia. Patients cannot imagine specific things.

To put it simply, patients with cardioblindness have no pictures in their minds when reading novels!

This problem may not be a big problem in ordinary society, but in an idealistic world like the wizarding world, heart blindness is almost a terminal illness!

The most important thing about transfiguration is visualization. Neville couldn't even do visualization, so how could he transform? No wonder his transformation skills are quite poor.

Seeing Zhang Xiao's silence, Neville slowly lowered his head and whispered:

"Zhang, why don't I just quit? I can't do it. I can't do it."

"Who said you can't do it?" Zhang Xiao was interrupted from his thoughts and suddenly raised his head. Harry also taught you the disarming spell. There's no reason why I can't teach it here. Isn't that just mind-blindness? If that doesn't work, use numbing tactics!

"Neville, let's continue!"

Zhang Xiao dragged his exhausted body to the restaurant with everyone. He could only say that the effect was not bad. In the process of teaching people, he really gained a new understanding of the magic spell that he was already familiar with, but he was too tired.

Just as he picked up the chopsticks, Qingluan flew in from the window with a cry, landed on Zhang Xiao's shoulder somewhat sadly, stretched out his little paw, and delivered the letter.

Zhang Xiao rubbed Qingluan a little distressedly and whispered:

"Sister Bird, why don't we go back to China? Don't force yourself if you don't get used to staying here. I'll be fine. At worst, just buy an owl."

Qingluan was fine when he first came here, but the longer he stayed here, the worse his energy became. In the past two or three months, he was always sleeping and didn't even go out to play.

Sister Bird pushed her little head against his face and let out a low cry. There was determination in her crystal eyes, and she was obviously unwilling to go back. She jumped on her shoulders, found a comfortable position and started to sleep again.

Zhang Xiao sighed and wondered whether he should tell his father to take Sister Bird back. She would not feel comfortable doing this.

Speaking of which, Fox hasn’t been seen for several months. Is he in Nirvana or will this magical bird stay like this for a while?

Turning over the letter from Sister Bird, there was a wax seal from the Potions Association printed on it. Potions Association? Zhang Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he replied quite quickly.

"Dear Mr. Xiao Zhang, I am very happy to receive your letter. Regarding the "fresh juice of mature mandrake" or "powerful recovery potion" that you are looking for, are they used to restore petrochemicals?

Lord Dumbledore has written to us last month to inquire about the relevant matters. We are sorry, but the powerful restoration agent used to restore petrification is special. It must use mature mandrake roots in the first year to be effective.

For a paper on its principles, please refer to the article "On the Special Characteristics of Early Mandrake Juice" in the catalog of the 1972 collection of the publication "Secrets of Potions".

Thank you for your letter and wish you a happy life and may your magic be with you.

Potions Association"

Alas, this road is blocked. Zhang Xiao folded the letter in despair and put it into the Qiankun bag. The first-year mature mandrake refers to the new-born mandrake. It matures for the first time, which means that it can only wait until that year. What is sown is ripe, there is no other way.

Sure enough, it's not that simple. Zhang Xiao calmed down and realized that it was just an idea that had been rejected. It was no big deal, so he started thinking about the Transfiguration Club next.

Professor Flitwick's Charms Club taught me about the spell system and the role of anchoring, so what will Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club teach me about?

You can’t set up a flag blindly. Last time, I said it was a good working day to update, but I was slapped in the face like crazy. The company threw me two tender documents to do, and my head was blown.
