Chapter 56: Two Feet
Originally, Fred and George, who wanted to be the last dying struggle, failed to master the descaling charm in one night. Of course, what made them give up completely was Albert's sentence that Filch wouldn't necessarily allow you to use magic.
The next day, in Charms class, Professor Flitwick checked everyone's practice, and found that very few Hufflepuff students had successfully mastered the Glowing Charm compared to Gryffindor students.
Professor Flitwick took five minutes to review what had been taught in the previous lesson before moving on to the anti-extinguishing spell of the glowing charm.
"The extinguishing charm is not just used to extinguish the glowing charm on a wand, it can also extinguish ordinary light sources. Professor Flitwick pointed to a candle on the table, picked up his wand and tapped it lightly, "Knox." ”
When the candle is extinguished, it is as if someone has reached out and put it out.
"As you can see, the spell that extinguishes the spell is Knox, and this spell is equally adapted to extinguishing burning flames. ”
"Fluorescent flickering. "After Professor Flitwick finished the incantation, the tip of his wand lit up with a pale glow," Knox. After the Charms professor repeated the incantation, the light on his wand vanished again.
After Professor Flitwick finished his lecture on extinguishing spells, he set aside the rest of the time for everyone to practice spells.
"Fluorescent flickering...... Knox. Albert tried several times and succeeded. In order to further verify the effect of the spell, he also turned a candle for himself, lit it, and began to try to extinguish the flame on the candle.
"I also succeeded. Lee Jordan was in a good mood, and after a dozen attempts in practice, the spell succeeded in extinguishing the light on the wand, and then learned from Albert to extinguish the wax fire.
According to Professor Flitwick, it is more difficult to extinguish a raging fire than to extinguish the glowing spell.
"That's so angry!" Fred was still trying to master the glowing charm, not just him, but some of the students in the class.
In the end, only three people managed to extinguish the light on their wands, and Hufflepuff's Diggory was one of them.
At the end of the Charms class, Professor Flitwick gave everyone a new homework assignment to write a paper report on the glow and extinguishing charms, which needed to be at least two feet long, to be turned in by class next Monday.
George muttered, "Two feet long, Professor Flitwick must be insane!"
Writing a two-foot-long piece of parchment is a difficult challenge for young wizards who have barely written a paper, and I should say that they have not touched a penis, even if they try to find a bunch of words to fill a two-foot length of parchment.
"Actually, this kind of thesis report is very simple. Albert glanced at George, looking rare and strange, "You just have to copy the origin of the Glowing Charm and the Lights Out Charm, then write some questions about the problems you encountered when learning the Glowing Charm, then go to the library to find some knowledge about this and copy it, and finally write a summary report or something, two feet long and almost not read."
In fact, Albert was well aware that Professor Flitwick did not expect a freshman's first homework assignment to be very good.
To put it bluntly, this paper is just to let you know more about the glow spell and the lights out spell, and deepen everyone's understanding and use of spells.
In his previous life, Albert had written a lot of similar things when he was in college, and although it had been a long time, he still knew something.
"It's that simple?" said Jordan's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that easy?" said Arya, glaring at each other sarcastically, "When you start writing, you'll find that it's not that simple." But, thanks to Albert, I knew what to write on that two-foot piece of parchment. ”
Halfway through, while several people were discussing the homework for this Charms class, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"Are you sure he's right?" a Hufflepuff student interjected in an odd tone.
"At least, that sounds a lot more reliable, isn't it......" Fred and George looked at each other, walked over to the Hufflepuff student, and one of them put his arm around the man and said, "Perhaps, Albert has gotten a little hint from Professor Flitwick." ”
"Let go of me. The Hufflepuff student struggled hard, but could not break free from the Weasley twins, and was held firmly by the two.
"Oh well, don't be nervous. Fred let go of the other man, reached out and tapped him twice on the shoulder, and couldn't help but smirk as he watched the guy run into the Hufflepuff Field.
"Don't make a fuss. Diggory glared at the twins in warning.
"We didn't do anything, Diggory. We just had a brief conversation with him. One of the twins put his arm around each other's shoulders and said, "Isn't it, we didn't do anything, who knew he suddenly became so nervous." ”
"Alright, let me go. Diggory also looked helpless, of course he knew that the twins' friendly way of communicating was not malicious to him, but the others didn't think so.
"He looks frightened by you. Li Jordan couldn't help but whisper.
"Don't talk nonsense, we didn't scare him, beware of suing you for slander. Fred and George had the faces of us doing nothing, just his own scared expressions.
In fact, they really didn't do anything.
Albert was amused, and now suddenly wanted to laugh. However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the twins did, after all, they didn't do anything, and the other party misunderstood.
"Anyway, when are we going to have flying lessons?" asked Angelina suddenly.
"I don't know, it's said that the new Gryffindor students will be notified on the bulletin board in the lounge on Thursday afternoon, when it's time for flying lessons. Fred thought for a moment and said, "Charlie has been recruiting backup players lately, if you like Quidditch, you can give it a try, backup players have access to broomsticks, but you need to rely on yourself to become a full-time player." ”
"When?" asked Angelina, her eyes lit up.
George didn't hesitate to say, "This afternoon, you can go to the Quidditch pitch and talk to Charlie." ”
"You're not going to join the Quidditch team, are you?" said Arya, looking at her roommate in surprise.
"Well, I'd like to try it. ”
"There's a transfiguration class later. Shanna muttered quietly, "I hope Professor McGonagall won't give us any more homework." ”
However, everyone is destined to be disappointed.
Even if Professor McGonagall didn't give them homework, they still had to continue to practice Transfiguration.
However, Professor McGonagall said that next week she would check on their progress in turning matches into needles, and if they still couldn't get the matches to change, someone would be out of luck.
