Chapter 376: Charms Lesson
The afternoon class was Professor Flitwick's Charms class.
Diminutive, he stood on top of stacks of books.
"Today's lesson is... Fire Charm. Flitwick dragged out the last note, stretched out for a moment, as if trying to sell it, and then spoke.
"We've learned!" a few students said aloud.
"No, that's just a superficial application, passing the exam to get a high score, you have to master it more profoundly. The mustache on Flitwick's face shook with emotion as he looked.
"The Fire Spell is an extremely useful spell with powerful light and heat properties that can cause great damage to evil creatures such as the Yin Corpse. ”
Whispers erupted from under the podium.
"I know, I've taught you before, but it's not deep enough. ”
"All spells can be used in combination to cause extreme damage or other effects, and this lesson is not only to teach you advanced usage, but also to broaden your mind. ”
"For example, the Fire Charm combined with the Clear Water Spring Charm can create a large area of illusory mist that interferes with the enemy's vision. ”
To illustrate, Flitwick summoned a raging flame out of nowhere, and a clear spring poured out of the lampshade on the ceiling, and the two quickly merged together, making a continuous sizzling sound and filling the smoke.
All of a sudden, fog rose in the classroom.
"The whirlwind sweeps away. The teacher's voice sounded again, and soon a small hurricane rolled up and blew away the smoke, and the diminutive teacher reappeared before their eyes.
"If paired with a sufficiently advanced Transfiguration, it can conjure up many powerful beast-like creatures that appear in the form of pure flames. ”
Flitwick raised his wand as a fire lotus burst out of the classroom, a fiery red raven slowly broke free.
He glanced at the students around him with his wise eyes.
It is very different from the silver-white Patronus form.
The functions are also very different.
Few have heard of Patronus being able to participate in battle, and their primary function is not here.
The raven, covered in fire, waved its wings made of pure flames, and the waves of fire trembled, and flew around the classroom several times, and some of the sparks splashed up fell from mid-air, and then shone sharply, emitting a violent light, and then disappeared in mid-air in an instant.
In the end, the whole body suddenly flew out of the window and disappeared.
Soon it attracted praise from the surrounding students.
"But these techniques are far from you. ”
"Today's task is to hollow out these iron rods with a fire spell, leaving behind the shell – that is, to make the shape of a pipe. ”
"It is not allowed to use the Transfiguration Charm to be applied directly to the object, this is the rule. ”
"The tool, the flame, is not subject to this limitation. ”
Pitch-black iron rods of similar length, thickness and thickness were put down in front of everyone's tables.
Malfoy picked it up casually, observed it, and looked at it a few times, it was pitch black, absorbing the light around him.
What was on my mind was not the upcoming class quizzes, but the changes in the Hogwarts curriculum.
Focusing on actual combat, even the Charms class was not spared.
This not only tests the skill of manipulation, but also sets the threshold that if the temperature is not high enough, even the steel will not be able to melt.
Only after reaching a certain level can you lift weights lightly.
The molten iron melted, and solidified uncontrollably quickly, even more messy than before, and the newly formed iron pieces became tangled. It's as if the blade has become rougher than the already extremely old blade.
Neville's forehead was covered in sweat, and his iron rod was not yet beginning to melt.
Ron burned through the fire, and an iron rod was burned in two.
Harry stared intently at the front of him, controlling a somewhat thick flame and cautiously reaching towards the center of the pillar.
All of a sudden, many flames erupted in various parts of the classroom.
"Draco, are you done?" Pansy looked at Malfoy in surprise, who had already stopped, who had already begun to cool down, allowing the scorched iron rod to cool down quickly.
Pansy's wand-controlled flames slanted abruptly, almost setting her robes on fire, but she didn't notice it.
"It's burning to your robes. Malfoy's wand, which he had already put away, raised it again, and threw a jet of water at the robe that was about to ignite.
Turn it off.
"Let's do it first. Malfoy shook his head, not accepting Pansy's words for a moment.
"Okay. Pansy stuck out her tongue, almost burning herself just now, she was a little embarrassed, and she rarely showed her weak side.
If it wasn't so long ago, as a Slytherin prefect, she would naturally have to set an example at all times.
Malfoy returned, and the strong barrier she had built over her heart not long ago had broken again, for there was something to rely on again.
"Alright, stop!"
Flitwick waved his wand again, and the legs of the table in front of him all shrank in unison, just in time for his height.
He jumped off the book, then walked over to all the students and began to make his rounds.
"Mr. Longbottom, you're making a lot of progress, and I'm guessing you'll be able to get a good score in future exams. He complimented, pausing for a moment at Neville's desk.
Picking up the pipe with some burrs on the inside, he looked at it and put it in front of his eyes, as if he were using a telescope.
"Miss Granger, that's good!"
The iron rod in front of Hermione's desk had been handled by her, and the inner ring was quite flat and smooth.
Finally, Flitwick walked over to Malfoy's table.
"Maybe it's really missing some lessons. ”
Flitwick thought to himself and shook his head.
He saw that the iron rod had been pierced with a small hole, and it could be called a failure, and there was no need to look any further.
"Cut—" Ron couldn't help but scoff.
But Flitwick stopped again.
"Exceptional control!" Flitwick coughed a few times as he seemed to realize that he was agitated, masking his emotions.
Looking at the other students, I was a little puzzled.
Then he flicked his wand.
A breeze passed through it.
An ethereal whistle sounded.
The bulky iron pipe was transformed into a long iron whistle.
For pure Transfiguration, this is very simple, probably in the third year, but to complete such a delicate carving with pure fire charms, even Flitwick has to think about it.
"Slytherin, plus... Very. Flitwick restrained himself, after all, Malfoy didn't have a very good impression of him after the hostage incident.
Actually, there is no problem with adding twenty points
His hand raised, and his wand swung a few times with the dexterity of his fingers.
The corners of all the tables began to "grow" again, and the elongation returned to its original shape.
Outside the castle, not far away, the bell tower struck exactly twelve times at the same time.
Flitwick's Charms lesson is over.
"How about giving it to me?" said Pansy as she walked briskly over to Malfoy's seat, took the whistle in her hand and played with it, pleading in a slightly coquettish tone.
"I'll cherish it. The girl was afraid that he would not agree
"It's just ......," Malfoy wanted to say, but seeing that Pansy had already put it away, he said no more
"Okay. He nodded.
He just didn't think it was anything of value, and it wasn't a good gift.
"Then I'll remodel it again. ”
Pansy reluctantly took it.
A faint flame wandered on the steel, as if it had turned into a sharp carving knife, and carved on it.
A lifelike kitten was quickly carved out, curled up in the form of a "P" letter, which was printed on the whistle.
"It's good if you don't dislike it. ”
"Of course not. Pansy cherished it in her arms.
