Chapter 32: Charms Lesson

After lunch, Gawain and the other lion cubs walked to the Charms classroom.

The Charms classroom is located in the left-hand hallway on the fourth floor of the castle, not far from the Ravenclaw Tower.

"And, Jane, are you sure this is Professor Binns from Hogwarts: A History of the School?"

Gawain was puzzled and said that if he remembered correctly, the book said that Professor Binns was a very relatable professor.

- "As lunch approached, the students reluctantly left Professor Binns' classroom, and everyone seemed excited. The change of species gave them their first glimpse of the magic of magic, and Professor Binns's history of magic filled the children with infinite reverie about magic. ”

He memorized the contents of the book, not entirely correct, but at least in general terms.

"I think it's probably because this is only the first class, and he hasn't gotten acquainted with us yet! And that's not a reason for you to sleep in class! If Professor Binns deducts points..."

The corners of Hermione's eyes twitched, and she looked at Gawain dangerously.

"I think maybe he put a sense of humor on him when he turned into a ghost. ”

Ron interjected into the conversation. He agreed with Gawain, and if it weren't for the fact that his seat was too close to Professor Binns, he would probably have joined the sleeping ranks without hesitation.

"You!"

Hermione looked at Ron angrily, "What am I?", but Ron glared back as unyieldingly.

"Well, speaking of which, Gawain, what did Snape ask you to do yesterday?" Harry suddenly said loudly, gesturing to Gawain for help.

Although his skill at shifting the subject was really poor, at least the topic he chose was interesting enough to attract the two who were comparing who had bigger eyes to stop.

"It's nothing, it's just that he boiled a pot of live hell potion. Professor Dumbledore said that this potion would help me avoid a magical riot like before. ”

Gao Wen pondered for a moment and replied to them.

The Magic Riot was naturally an excuse, because the real reason was not even clear to him. It's just that whatever it is, it has nothing to do with the "gates of hell" he saw on the train.

"Cool! That old bat didn't physically punish you or anything like that, did he? I heard Fred and George say that Snape never liked Gryffindor students, no matter how good they were!"

Ron exclaimed.

In his opinion, Gawain, who had retreated from Snape's office, was like St. George who had slain the dragon.

"Living Hell Potion! That's a very high-grade potion!"

But Hermione's focus was clearly different from Ron's.

As he walked, Gawain talked to Hermione about helping Snape make potions yesterday, and Hermione was always able to point out some omissions in detail based on the contents of the book.

For example, the origin or characteristics of a certain herb, or the treatment method recorded in a book.

Gawain was surprised to find that the content of the textbook described by Hermione was very different from the "practical lesson" he had experienced last night.

This difference is not only reflected in the handling of raw materials, but also in the operation of boiling and stirring.

At first, Ron and Harry naively wanted to hear more about "Adventures in Snape's Office", but they soon gave up on this naïve idea.

Ron ran to tell Dean Thomas about the wonders of Quidditch, trying to convince him that it was a wizarding sport that was much more fun than Muggle football. Dean is equally stubborn in emphasizing the spirit and history of football, wanting Ron to understand and even love the sport.

Harry listened with interest.

Soon they were in the Charms classroom.

"Welcome, kids, find a seat and sit down!

Professor Flitwick, who was in charge of the course, was surprisingly short, about three and a half feet long, but he had a Roman name and was very welcoming, jumping on his feet to welcome the young wizards when he saw them.

The Ravenclaws had arrived at the classroom early.

After making sure that all the Gryffindor students had arrived, the professor climbed behind the podium with some difficulty, stood on the thick stack of books, and began to take the roll call. When he read Harry's name, he even screamed in excitement and fell behind the podium in a panic.

"Spells are the things you will come into contact with most often. Can someone tell me the difference between enchantment and transfiguration?" Professor Flitwick said in his thin voice, "uh, Miss Granger? ”

"Spells add certain properties to an object or creature, while Transfiguration charms transform an object or creature into a completely different entity. ”

Hermione's almost textbook answers were quick, and they were exactly as good as the textbook definitions.

"Very good, Gryffindor plus 3 points. As Miss Granger said, enchantments can change the nature of objects or living beings. Professor Flitwick grabbed his wand and waved it like a conductor of a symphony orchestra.

With his swing, the desks in the classroom floated lightly, spinning slowly in the air.

"Black magic spells are called evil spells, poison curses, and curses, and we don't discuss them in class. But don't be naïve enough to think that learning the spells in the textbooks is perfectly safe, as inattention while performing magic can lead to painful results.

And don't forget the wizard Barufeo, who said the 'f' to the 's', only to find himself lying on the floor with a bison standing on his chest.

Spells are not omnipotent. Spells may not be effective on large creatures, for example, trolls' skin resists most spells, and only the most powerful spells will work on trolls. ”

Professor Flitwick grimaced, as if trying to scare the young wizards, but only made them laugh out loud.

"Well, you must remember that when using spells, you have to be skillful and accurate. Got it?"

He was not discouraged at all and said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Alright, let's learn your first spell. The Light Charm, the spell is Lumos, which is used to create a gentle glow at the tip of the wand. This spell is especially effective if you want to visit the castle at night, or if you are unfortunately punished to go to the Forbidden Forest. ”

Professor Flitwick suddenly patted his head and said:

"Mr. White, Professor McGonagall said you're pretty good at this spell, why don't you give a demonstration for everyone?"

As soon as his words fell, the eyes of everyone in the class converged on Gao Wen's body.

PS: There is no clear mention of the content of the first Charms lesson in the original book, and the Levitation Charm was learned before Halloween. The Light Charm was chosen in terms of difficulty. The introduction to the spell is from the PM, partially translated.
