Surrounded by dozens of eyes in an instant, Gawain could only stand up and hold the wand in his hand.

Lumos (Fluorescent Scintillation)

A silver orb of light appeared at the tip of his wand, glowing brightly.

It's an incomparably standard fluorescent scintillation, like Professor Flitwick uses, no more, no less.

"That's right, like this, Gryffindor plus 3 points! Maybe Mr. White can you make it a little more interesting?"

Professor Flitwick clapped softly and looked at Gawain appreciatively.

It's hard for anyone to say no to such an expectation.

Gawain, of course, couldn't either.

“Lumos Maxima。 ”

His wrist shook, and he saw the silver ball of light detach from the tip of his wand and roam in midair, brightening and brightening. It only took a few breaths, and it became as bright as the sun when it stayed above the classroom.

As you can see, Mr. White has mastered many of the advanced techniques of this spell. If any of you can successfully cast the Light Charm before the end of this lesson, I'll teach you some of that in the next lesson!"

Professor Flitwick smiled with satisfaction, motioning for Gawain to put away his wand.

With this incentive, everyone's enthusiasm is much greater, and one by one they blush, as if they want to improve the success rate in this way.

"Mr. White, very good technique. Did I notice that you split it into three phases?"

Professor Flitwick approached Gawain and stepped on a low chair.

"Yes, but it's going to be very strenuous. ”

Gawain nodded, expressing his doubts.

"You need to set a few anchors for yourself, which is the habit of thinking, kid. They will relieve you of a lot of stress. ”

Professor Flitwick cocked his wand and began to show Gawain his skills.

As the dean of Ravenclaw House, a former genius of spells, Gawain felt that many of the techniques he taught benefited him a lot.

The lesson passed quickly, but only three people in the class, Hermione, and the two Ravenclaw girls, managed to release a steady light spell, and Professor Flitwick added three points to each of them.

However, Seamus managed to push the theoretical limits of the Light Charm - he invented the Fire Light Charm and successfully lit his own eyebrows.

"Damn Merlin's boots, they're just a harmless fluorescent flicker!"

Gawain was afraid that he would never forget the incredible look on Professor Flitwick's face when he saw a flame of fire erupt from the tip of Seamus's wand.

After a full course Tuesday, Gawain and the others ushered in the same full Wednesday.

Last night, he also drank the potion.

This time, the potion worked just as it was supposed to, allowing Gawain to sleep easily until morning, until he was woken up by Neville.

But this morning's auditorium seemed to be extra lively.

"I dare say Professor Quirrell will definitely teach us some magical spells, like how to banish vampires and stuff. He looks like someone who has been through things, doesn't he?"

As soon as Gawain entered, he heard Seamus Finigan speak loudly at the long table.

"Through garlic, or his scarf? I wish he had taught us some practical spells, like Professor Flitwick did!"

Ron shook his head and picked up a piece of scrambled egg.

"Senior sister, is that like that?"

Gawain asked Angelina, who had already taken Defence Against the Dark Arts class yesterday.

"How so... If I were you, I wouldn't expect much. ”

She shook her head nicely, said goodbye to Gawain, and sat down on the third-grader's side.

But Gawain soon understood what she meant.

- Professor Quirrell's class almost became a joke.

The classroom where he was teaching was on the corner of the third floor, and it smelled of garlic.

Everyone speculated that this was to drive away a vampire he met in Romania, fearing that the vampire would come back and arrest him.

Regarding the scarf he had always wrapped around his head, Professor Quirrell explained that it was a gift from an African prince who had helped him free himself from the zombie tangle.

But that's not so much an African style as it is... What Central Europe looks like. In the pamphlet of Diagon Alley's Strange Travel Agency Horror Tour, Gawain saw a similar pattern.

"Looks like the one that leased the vampire castle in Texwinia?"

Gawain recalled, but was not too impressed.

However, everyone seemed to be convinced of the idea that Professor Quirrell's attainments in magic were difficult to compare with Professor Flitwick.

He spends the whole class talking about how he helped the prince get rid of the Resurrection Zombies, but when Seamus Finigan impatiently asks Professor Quirrell how he defeated the Resurrection Zombies, his face flushes red and he mutters a grunched turn to the weather.

For the entire lesson, they didn't learn a single spell.

"I guess he must have heard this story somewhere, and he hadn't experienced it himself. ”

After class, Professor Quirrell left the side door next to the classroom, and Ron whispered to the Gryffindor students.

Dean and Seamus both nodded in agreement, and even Neville hesitated.

"Maybe the professor just... Not in the state. ”

Even Hermione's arguments seemed so weak.

But Gawain felt a little inexplicably awkward.

Professor Quirrell is very brief in his account of his defeat of the Revenant Zombies, but he uses very vivid, realistic language to describe the cave where he found the Revenant Zombies.

- "It was very damp, it was summer, but it was so cold that I wanted to wrap my robes tightly. The blackened ground was engraved with spells of black magic, and coagulated blood, and the tall pale candles had been extinguished. ”

"Maybe what the professor said is true?"

He whispered, looking at his notebook.

"Resurrected zombies

A twisted being created by the curse of black magic, lifeless, soulless, just manipulated corpses.

It needs to be evoked with a specific mantra through a well-prepared ritual.

Not afraid of swords, like cold and damp places, act quietly, afraid of fire, afraid of light.

It can bewitch people's hearts, possess and manipulate the flesh.

Eventually, he was trapped in a cave with a spell called Flame Blazing. ”

As it happens, Gawain had seen a very similar account in Dumbledore's annotated History of Modern Magic, but that was a failed coup d'état in Albania a few years earlier.

It is said that if it had not been for the urgent intervention of the International Federation of Wizards, the coup would have been on the verge of success.

But the name of that monster is not a resurrection zombie.

It's a yin corpse.
