Early the next morning, Lupin took Seamus on a long journey to a misty wasteland, which, though it was only September, was already covered with yellow grass, rocky outcrops, and puddles of water.

"Yesterday because Dumbledore was coming, there was no time, and today was our first extracurricular practice. Lupin stood on a jutting rock, turned his back to him and said, "Practicing magic without actual experience is like a castle in the sky, and now guess what magical creatures are our main targets today." ”

Seamus thought to himself, how can I guess this, such a large area, I believe you that there is a basilisk hidden here. Looking at the figure of Lupin in front of him, Lupin was still wearing a robe as usual today.

But Seamus was dressed in tight-fitting clothes, with a holster tied to his right wrist with a rope attached to his wand, and a helmet on his head with a special baffle that could be easily lowered and retracted by a slide, just to use the Flash Charm. He also had a belt tied to his waist and a dozen bottles of potions hanging from it.

Seamus looked at his surroundings and couldn't guess, so he could only smile and say, "Give me a hint, how can you guess it like this, just give me a little hint." ”

Lupin glanced back at him, but still gave a hint, "Fifty years ago, this was a battlefield. ”

Seamus suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "I know, it's a red hat." Wherever there is bloodshed, they can be found, usually lurking in the dungeons of castles and the trenches of battlefield ruins, waiting to sneak up on those who have lost their way. This dwarf-like animal lives in burrows in ancient battlefields or in places stained with human blood. ”

"Looks like you remember something, come with me. With that, Lupin jumped down from the stone and walked slowly in one direction.

Seamus hurriedly followed, and he said, "This is the battlefield of decades ago, and now how are we going to find the red hat." ”

Lupin heard what he said and stopped where he was, "I just said that you remember something, and now it seems that you just remember, so the first task of today is to find the red hat." ”

Seamus looked at Lupin, who was standing still and didn't move, and felt depressed for a while, knowing that he had followed Lupin just now and didn't say anything, but now he could only find it slowly.

But this is the battlefield 50 years ago, where there will be any traces, in the trenches of the battlefield, I don't see any trenches.

Seamus could only look aimlessly, and Lupin's voice came from behind, "There are still a lot of red hats here, be careful not to be beaten with sticks by them." ”

"Got it, I'll take notice. Seamus listened more attentively, otherwise it would be a shame to be attacked by the red hat. Although the Red Hats are classified as dangerous magical creatures, in reality, they are no one but Muggles in a careless state.

Since Lupin said that there are a lot of red hats here, I should be able to come across them if I walk around, and as long as I am careful not to be surrounded by them, it should not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Seamus walked towards the low-lying area, red hats generally like to stay in cold and cold places, if the number of red hats is really large, then there will definitely be next to the puddle.

He came to a puddle surrounded by half-man-tall dead grass that covered his stomach. There is an old Chinese saying, every time you don't enter the forest, you can't get into the weeds so high, not to mention whether there is a red hat or not, if there is a snake hidden, you can't see it at all.

So he frantically used a cutting spell on the weeds, and from the roots of the grass, like wheat, he cleared all the dead grass next to the puddle, and even the small puddle was divided into several pieces. Sure enough, there were three red hats hidden in the grass, and one jumped out of the puddle.

Fortunately, I was careful enough, looking at those fairy-like creatures, less than a meter tall, with a large wooden stick in their hands, hideous faces, wrinkled faces, a big bloated nose in the middle of the face, and red messy hair on their heads, no wonder they were called red hats.

The three red hats in the grass had their legs severed by his cutting spell and could only lie on the ground babbling, but the one that jumped out of the puddle, intact, was waving the wooden stick in his hand and rushing towards him.

Seamus heard the sound of a stick piercing through the air, and knew it wouldn't be nice to be hit, and I didn't want to be laughed at by Lupin.

"Fluorescent flicker", Seamus stretched out his wand and used the flash spell that he had been able to release accurately to besmack the red hat's face, and the red hat directly threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and rolled on the ground with his hands covering his eyes, oh

"Bang Bada", just in case, he backhanded and blew up the wooden sticks thrown by the red hats, and then used the cutting charm to destroy the wooden sticks of the three red hats that were already paralyzed.

"Vera Vito", using the only Transfiguration Charm to reach Lv3 through practice, binds four red hats together by turning the freshly cut weeds into ropes.

Then he ran in Lupin's direction and shouted at Lupin, "Come here, I've found the red hat." ”

Lupin saw his movements just now, and thought that he would rush into the grass recklessly, and was attacked by the red hat hiding inside, and was ready to rescue. Who would have thought that he didn't go into the grass from beginning to end, and forced the red hat out from the outside, and after settling the battle, he also destroyed the opponent's weapon and tied the red hat into a red rice dumpling.

Lupin thought to himself that this kid was really cautious, and then he walked towards Seamus, "See, good job." ”

Seamus ran to Lupin's side and gasped, "Remus, it's too dangerous just now, just a little bit, I'm going to be killed by the Red Hat." Is there any magic that can send out a fireball or something, so I can be far away without having to get closer. ”

"Come on, it's four or five meters away from you. Lupin was frustrated by his caution, and then replied, "The Ignition Charm will send out a ball of fire." ”

Ignoring Lupin's first half of the sentence, he asked, "Why can I only light things up close and can't release a fireball at all?" ”

"As long as you practice the Ignition Charm a lot, you can fire fireballs once you are familiar with it. ”

"Then how long do I have to practice? ”

"A normal student at Hogwarts, probably in the third year, you should be a little faster than them. ”

As they spoke, they had reached the puddle of water, and the red hats could no longer roll around, they were all tied into a ball, and they could only dangle in place.

Lupin glanced at it and said to Seamus: "You are too careful, in fact, it will not be a problem to be hit on the head by their wooden sticks, at most you will only faint, you have to be confident in your physical fitness, you are a wizard, not a Muggle." You must know that one of the four founders of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor, is known for his melee combat. ”

"Absolutely not, the romance of a wizard is to become a turret in the distance, why would anyone want hand-to-hand combat. "Seamus expressed great incomprehension of Godric Gryffindor's behavior.

Lupin was noncommittal to his words, after all, hand-to-hand combat was indeed not a trend for wizards, and not many wizards from ancient times to the present day would carry a sword with them.

"Whatever you like. Lupin walked over to the red hat and crouched down, beckoning to Seamus to come over, "Just now your method can indeed deal with the red hat, but in fact, the normal wizard's method of dealing with the red hat only requires one spell, which is humanoid fear." ”

Lupin untied the rope from the red hat, filled up a faint and said to Seamus, "Don't look at them like goblins, in fact they belong to humanoids, and of course, goblins are also humanoids." And more importantly, Red Hat is actually very timid, even in the face of opponents who are much weaker than him, he will still choose to sneak attack, if he is not forced out by you, he will not even dare to attack you. There is another way, if your wand is not in your hand, you can choose to snatch its wooden stick and hit it on the head, although its strength is not small, but due to its size, in close combat, a slightly stronger adult can teach it a hard lesson. ”

Seamus nodded to indicate that he understood, but what he wanted was to listen to the advice and resolutely not change. Only a reckless man without a brain will fight it head-on, and the humanoid creature is fearful, it is also absolutely unreliable, and the snake does not die and bites, only those who can't move are the safest.

After the explanation, Lupin threw the four red hats into the water and let them leave without pain.

"Alright, come with me. Lupin led Seamus to a large meadow, where the dead grass was more luxuriant, presumably over the top of Seamus's head, and in the middle was a small dirt bag that was also overgrown with weeds. The mound is surrounded by puddles, and the roots of many weeds are submerged in the water.

Seamus followed Lupin to the meadow and heard him say, "Look, the best way to deal with the red hat." ”

Lupin stretched out his wand and released the fear of the humanoids, and the whole grass seemed to come alive, and the dead grass more than a meter high shook up, and there was a babbling sound from it. Then I saw hundreds of red hats coming out of the grass and running in all directions, and some of them ran into another meadow, and then from inside came the sound of wooden sticks swinging.

If the red hats had formed a neat queue, Seamus might have been reminded of bison running on the African savannah, but now it could only be a swarm of headless flies.

"See, this is the red hat, cowardly, and has no intelligence, even his own kind, will take attack. Most of the red hats who have just run out of here will not be able to return here, and some will be attacked by their own kind, but most of them will not be able to find their way back. ”

"Okay, you've got enough to know the Red Hat, let you deal with it two more times, and we'll go back. Lupin retracted his wand from his waist, "Next week, we'll have an extracurricular practice." ”
