The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Professor Flitwick groped and sat down on the stone bench. His short body with short limbs formed a strong contrast with the huge and twisted stones. A strange feeling occupied the hearts of the little wizards, making them unconsciously quiet.

Because of his elf ancestry, Professor Flitwick's voice was a bit shrill: "We are gathered here today. We are not here to describe the concept of curses in complicated and awkward grammar, and I have no intention of analyzing the similarities and differences of the concepts of curses in various versions of the book."

After being blessed with [Loud Voice], Flitwick's voice can spread to every corner of the classroom. The powerful control of the spell makes the voice of the preaching sound in the ears of every little wizard, but it does not sound deafening and loud. noisy.

"The origin of the spell cannot be studied, but any wizard knows very well that its function is to change or increase specific attributes of an object or creature. The spell focuses on "what" the object "does" rather than "what it is". For example, let the pineapple dance, let the stone twist itself into a high stool, let the object levitate, let the object burn..."

Floating spell, lock-opening spell, repairing spell, fire-making spell...

Professor Flitwick connects the many basic spells learned in first grade with reality and gives easy-to-understand explanations. In the past, the little wizard had a vague concept of magic spells in his mind, and the awkward words he memorized from books turned into a clearer understanding of realistic images.

The little wizard in the audience took some time to digest these contents. Except for the first-year wizard who had just entered the school and was a little confused, the second- and third-year students were whispering to each other in twos and threes, confirming each other's gains.

Hermione looked at Professor Flitwick with bright eyes, leaned slightly to the side, and said in a voice that only Loren could hear: "I thought I had mastered the concept of curses and could distinguish between transformation spells and curses. But listen After reading the professor’s words, I realized that I was judging based on the definition in the book and had nothing to do with actually understanding the essence of the curse.”

"Me too. After understanding the essence, I feel that many spells will be more effective if you make some adjustments when casting them." Loren turned his head and blew into Hermione's ear holes.

Hermione couldn't help but shrink her neck because of the itching between her ears, and then gave him a hard kick on the thigh: "Listen carefully to the professor's lecture!"

"oh!"

The little wizards around also gained something, Seamus and Dean were discussing, and Harry and Ron were communicating. Neville didn't seem to understand, and was a little confused. He didn't understand what was essential, but after listening to the examples given by several professors, he seemed to understand a little bit.

The insights gained were also accompanied by questions. If it were any other professor, Neville would definitely not have the courage to ask them. But this was Professor Flitwick, this was Professor Flitwick who jumped on his beard and smiled at him.

Neville raised his hand and asked: "Teach, Professor, I want to know how to learn spells correctly?"

Professor Flitwick looked at him with soft eyes: "Oh, wonderful question! Your wording is very appropriate - the right way to learn the spell."

Seeing Neville's face getting redder and redder, he raised his eyes and looked at the other young wizards: "In general teaching, I will tell you about the invention, evolution, and functions of magic spells. Then I will explain the rhyme of the spell, the gestures of casting spells, and the key points of casting spells. , take you to demonstrate."

"But today, I want to talk about some deeper contents. These contents may not be understood by you now, and they will not be intuitive and effective for you. However, I believe that they will be helpful to you in the long life to come!"

The backs of the little wizards here straightened up a little, and they understood that what was coming next was very important. Hermione and some of the little wizards from Ravenclaw even took out their notes and held the quills in their hands, ready to record important content at any time.

Professor Flitwick waited for a while before starting to speak: "I believe that there is a model behind every spell. The rhymes and spell-casting actions of the spell are just the appearance of the model. The more essential characteristics are the operation of magic power, and the mind, or soul. transfer."

"At the same time, we need to understand that the operation of magic power and the movement of the soul are not static or unchanging. The same wizard will have different states of magic power and soul at different ages. And between different wizards, the soul and magic power will be different. The difference is even greater.”

"Even if the same spell is cast by two different wizards, the effect will be obviously different. Because their magic operation systems are different, and their souls are even different."

Dean walked among a few people and chuckled: "Professor Flitwick is talking about Seamus. No matter what spell, Seamus uses it differently from us."

Ron also laughed maliciously: "Haha, Seamus' soul is full of explosions."

The voice of these words was a bit loud, and the little wizards around him couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh. It was obvious that Seamus' deeds were widely spread.

Seamus said bitterly: "Dean! Ron! Just wait, I will fill your bodies with explosions after the event!"

"Hey hey hey."

"Ha ha……"

Professor Flitwick did not notice the movement here and was still telling his point of view: "I believe that our magic and soul are not isolated. They exist in the same body and are connected in a way that we cannot observe. The soul Acts on the magic, and the magic reacts on the soul.”

"This is how dark magic works on wizards!"

The little wizards' eyes widened, and a few even let out small exclamations. Such taboo things always attract attention and are more likely to arouse people's emotions.

Harry felt the scar on his forehead heat slightly. Black magic, this reminded him of the book he saw in the restricted section of the library at night - "Advanced Black Magic".

Although he didn't know why he suddenly remembered that book, Harry kept the memory of "Advanced Dark Arts" in his heart.

"Yes, dark magic." Professor Flitwick nodded, with a serious expression. "Some black magic requires wizards to cast spells with negative emotions. Anger, slander, and hatred of the target are all common emotions in black magic. These negative emotions Emotions will have an impact on magic, making black magic always difficult to control and causing bad consequences."

"At the same time, the long-term alienated magic power will in turn distort the souls of dark wizards, making them withdrawn, eccentric, and irritable..."

Loren listened very carefully, because he really practiced black magic.

After carefully examining himself, he found that the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse did not seem to have any adverse effects. There was no need to harbor negative emotions when casting the spell, and there would be no psychological fluctuations after the spell was cast.

It seems that the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse is still too low-end, not up to the level of top-level black magic... Loren whispered slandering a certain half-blood prince, the inventor of the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse.

Snape, who was watching from the edge of the classroom, suddenly felt his nose was a little itchy. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but sneeze lightly.

Professor Sprout of Herbology silently moved a few steps to the side. After moving away, he looked up and saw Snape with a dark face.

Sprout, despite the embarrassment in his heart, expressed concern: "Do you have a cold, Professor Snape? Autumn is here, so you still need to pay attention to adding more clothes. I have grown cold herbs here and I will get some for you later." .”

Snape said with a straight face, "Thank you, no need."

Do I, a professor of potions, still need a refreshing potion?

Flitwick on the stage realized that there were all junior wizards below. He promptly stopped the topic of black magic: "In addition, I think someone may have noticed that a comfortable mood will make casting spells easier. Many people have this My experience: After a good night’s sleep, every part of your body and mind exudes a pleasant smell, and any spell you practice at this time will be very smooth and easy to do.”

"That's it. Emotions belong to the soul, and magic affects spellcasting. It's difficult for us to figure out who affects whom. However, we have to remember that soul and magic are the core."

Looking at the little wizards who were deep in thought, Professor Flitwick smiled with satisfaction: "That's enough, let's talk about the more in-depth content after you pass the O.W.L.s exam and take my advanced class. Let's go on to talk about how to learn magic correctly. curse."

"The key point lies in the appearance I just mentioned - the spell phonology and spell-casting posture. Here, I need you to abandon the correct but mediocre content in the textbooks and realize that there is actually no unified best phonics and best spells for different wizards. Optimum posture. Textbook allows everyone to successfully cast, not optimal cast."

There was a loud "wow" in the audience. The textbook was mediocre and correct, which sounded deviant to many young wizards. But it was the professor who said this. Their hearts were pounding and they couldn't help but discuss it with the people around them.

Hermione was also a member of the superstition textbook, and her current mood was a bit complicated. On the notebook open on his lap, a few mediocre and correct words were particularly dazzling.

She looked at Loren next to her, her thoughts swirling in her mind, and she nodded thoughtfully.

If you think about it carefully, Loren next to you is a living example. After he learned to cast the spell, he would always improve his posture and change his voice.

In the end, his spell-casting process was almost completely different from that of ordinary little wizards, and his power and effect were also better.

Hermione originally thought that practice made perfect, but now that she thought about it, it was Loren who found the most suitable vocal rhythm and spell-casting movements during practice.

It turns out that my correction talent is based on this principle. Loren held his hands and looked at Professor Flitwick.

"Think about it, children. You have unique souls and unique magic power, how can you have a completely consistent set of standards?" Professor Flitwick paused, "However, I do not recommend that anyone blindly modify spells and spell-casting actions. , the wizard Baruffio and the bison standing on his chest warned everyone at the Sanatorium Saint-German.”

"But Professor, how do we choose the standard that best suits us?" a Ravenclaw girl asked.

Finally bringing up the topic of today, Professor Flitwick cleared his throat: "What you have to do now is to repeat, repeat, repeat and repeat. Control the accuracy of the spell, the speed of spell casting, and the intensity of the magic. In In the process of practice, you will naturally find the method that suits you best.”

"ah?"

The little wizards howled in disappointment. They came for powerful and cool spells, but now they have turned into a mechanical and monotonous spell practice.

"When I was young, I would cast the Illumination Spell hundreds of times a day, and this is the result." Professor Flitwick motioned for them to look at the light cluster on the ceiling.

Milky white light groups swayed gently in the air, and bright and soft light filled the classroom.

The ability to float without the wand and the ability to release multiple light groups at a time all indicate that the lighting spell after repeated practice is extraordinary.

But the little wizards were still downcast. This was different from what they thought. It was not cool enough, nor could it be said to be powerful.

Just when everyone was feeling down, Professor Flitwick waved his wand.

All the light groups of the lighting spell were like fireflies at night, flying in the mid-air of the classroom. A light group flies in a straight line and creates a beautiful trail. Several light groups play back and forth to draw beautiful beams of light. It is like a grand performance, and the light groups are the dancing actors.

"It's so beautiful!" Neville murmured, unable to help but be fascinated by it.

Neville, Seamus, and Dean came to the mobile classroom together. He actively grabbed a seat in the front row and also had the idea of ​​learning cool spells. He wants to stand out in front of his classmates, want to impress those who look down upon him, and wants to learn powerful magic spells to go back and make his grandma proud.

He couldn't say whether this idea was good or bad, but he felt another kind of peace from these dancing milky white light groups.

Filius Flitwick also watched the performance of the light group in mid-air, immersed in the beautiful light and shadow.

When he was young, because of his strange figure, he was always particularly concerned about other people's eyes. If there are too many ridiculing eyes, people's hearts will become closed and they will become inferior, and normal eyes will feel dazzling.

For a long time, he has been relentlessly pursuing great power. He once asked Ms. Gray about the whereabouts of the Crown of Wisdom. After graduation, he was still keen to participate in duels to prove himself. Along the way, he finally discovered that strength is only external, and inner strength is his own support.

In the 1970s, he returned to Hogwarts, where he found inner peace and grew stronger in peace.

It was the first public event of the Charms Club. Of course, he had countless magnificent and cool magics that he could perform, but in the end he chose illumination, hoping to convey inner peace to every little wizard.

Hidden in these simple but beautiful pure white lights are the Charms Professor's most sincere blessings.

At the edge of the classroom, professors gathered together, raising their heads and admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them. The light in Snape's deep pupils turned upside down, and his recent impetuous thoughts were calmed by the silent silence.

The whole classroom was quiet, and the little wizards quietly watched the wonderful performance of the light group come to an end, scattering into tiny dots of light.

"The main activity of the lower grade branch of the Charms Club will be to guide everyone to control the accuracy, speed and intensity of spell casting. Every student is welcome to join!"

Professor Flitwick bowed gracefully, the stones under his feet slowly returned to their original shape, and the professor slowly exited from the right side of the podium.

The classroom that had been silent for a while suddenly erupted into deafening applause...
