Chapter 401: A Lifelong Enemy
It turns out that hunches are usually very accurate.
In particular, it comes from a woman's sixth sense, and the "double affirmation sentence" that is entangled in the wonderful luck of the fateful enemy.
"Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood...... Can you share with us how you quickly got the hang of these basic spells, if you can? β
The short Professor Flitwick looked at the two little Lori's sitting next to each other with a smile, as if he were looking at two rare treasures that had not yet been carved, and with the Hufflepuff name Elena Kaslana, maybe this was the future master of spells.
Hermione smiled slightly, swept the ignorant and slightly longing little eyes around her with a happy look unique to Xueba, raised her chin quite proudly, and whispered in a casual and ordinary tone.
"It's actually quite simple, as you said, the accurate reciting of the spell, and the standard casting posture, is the core of the magic - syllable pauses, small wrist movements, all you need to do perfectly. β
"Yes, yes, that's it. Professor Flitwick clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction, "That's why I've been emphasizing the detail and attention that comes into casting the spell. And what about you, Miss Lovegood, are you like that too?"
"Eh, me? huh...... It's a little different. β
Luna Lovegood was stunned for a moment, blinked cutely, and said in an uncertain tone, "I'm more just thinking about making my wand glow, and then thinking about what that light looks like......
"Oh! it's wonderful! No wonder the light is so soft. β
Professor Flitwick waved his hands in the air excitedly, and his smile widened.
"Yes, of course! Spells, gestures, and wizards are all forms that assist wizards in casting spells, and the most important thing is of course your mind. Knowing what you want to do and sketching it out exactly in your mind will be very effective in avoiding a lot of accidents. β
As he said this, Professor Flitwick raised his wand and deftly tapped it in the air.
Without any spells or spells, one after another small dots of light emerged from the tip of his staff like fireflies, spiraling towards Luna, staying beside the girl and spinning happily in circles, before gradually dissipating into starlight.
"However, this is a technique that you only begin to learn when you enter the senior years, from imitation to casting your own magic. β
Professor Flitwick coughed lightly, looked around the classroom at the young wizards, and added with great seriousness.
"Until then, I think it's best for you to follow Miss Granger's way and get the basics right. Miss Lovegood's way is good, but it's not for everyone. β
Well?!
Although she received praise from the professor, the smile on Hermione's face gradually faded, and she bit her lip quietly.
Unlike the feeling she had when she fought against Elena before, this time when facing Luna, Hermin was subjected to a different emotion that made her a little annoyed, which was a challenge from another dimension.
However, she won't admit defeat so easily - she knows all the textbooks by heart, and she can't lose to a junior who is all based on feeling and imagination, plus some smart juniors.
"The key to cleaning up is to keep the end note of the spell neat and tidy, and not to have too much ...... arc of the wand."
"Before casting the Cleansing Charm, first think about what it should look clean, and then rinse away all the excess dirt as if you were taking a bath......"
"The crisp popping sound of the smashing spell, and the ...... when swinging the staff"
"Imagine smashing rocks ......"
......
You know, in the previous few classes, as long as Elena was away, Hermione Granger showed a desperately crushing posture, the kind of precision like a humanoid library and a standardized motion cap, it can be said that it swept almost all the little wizards - even Elena, in some specific content memory, is slightly inferior to Hermione.
However, what opened everyone's eyes was that Luna's "fuzzy idealism theory" actually fought with "Miss Jack-of-all-trades" in Hermione's best spell class.
By the time Charms class was about to end, almost all of the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw wizards had already known Luna Lovegood, a different kind of "auditor".
The little wizards of Ravenclaw, in particular, were full of affection and affection for Luna Lovegoodβafter all, little Luna's confused and ethereal look was too similar to those of the poor little wizards who didn't seem to have slept well.
But for Hermione, the class wasn't so easy and enjoyable after the class.
To be precise, her mood has begun to get a little worse - anyone who finds out that the cute little white rabbit she is carrying suddenly turns into a Tyrannosaurus rex that can toughen you without paying attention will be a little unresponsive.
What makes Hermin feel powerless is that there seems to be a huge difference between her and Luna's way of thinking and perspective, as if they are completely opposite paths, but in the end they both point to the same end.
And this feeling of entanglement is even more vividly reflected in the next class on the history of magic.
If in the Charms class, Luna mainly expounded her ideas as a beginner, whether in terms of magic release or theoretical knowledge, Hermione still took the initiative in the topic in general.
Then the next Gryffindor and Hufflepuff classes on the history of magic were completely reduced to the stage for the four girls to shine - after all, after a week of sorting out the Age of Magic, it was obvious that the history of magic within the scope of the first-year syllabus was no longer enough.
As if in secret, this time it wasn't just Elena, Hannah, Hermione, and even Luna, who raised their hands from time to time to ask Professor Binns about the vague or inconsistent events in the history of magic in the textbook.
"Professor Binns, why is there a discrepancy between the time of the history of the strange Euric and the time of the teleportation recorded by the Ministry of Magic?"
"As for the description of Cyril the Master of Charms, she once entered Hogwarts, but she published the book nineteen years before that, which of the two times is accurate?"
"Is the card information on the Chocolate Frog from the history of magic or the history of the wild?"
With such a high learning atmosphere and enthusiasm for knowledge, even if Professor Binns still kept teaching in his monotonous voice, the young wizards of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff did not feel sleepy.
Originally, it was just a boring and dry old history, but with the continuous addition of details, the magnificent and mysterious and novel old stories crossed the time and unfolded in front of the students' eyes one after another, and everyone's eyes were full of interest...... There was a stark contrast between him and the "weak, helpless, pitiful, and dying" ghost professor at the front of the classroom.
By the time it was time to go to the auditorium for lunch, Professor Binns's color had changed from gray to a translucent mist.
The moment the bell rang for the end of class, Professor Binns didn't even say a word about the end of class, he silently picked up the lesson plan and floated into the wall behind the classroom without looking back, and there seemed to be a faint sound of relief in the classroom.
Worse is yet to come......
It wasn't until after the end of the afternoon class that the four Elena learned from the chatter of the senior students that Professor Binns did not show up for the few lessons on the history of magic at Hogwarts in the afternoon today, and they spent the whole course of self-study for the first time.
Because, since Professor Binns finished this class of theirs, he has disappeared, disappeared......
