Chapter 40: Halloween Eve
Time flew by, and Harry was soon surprised to find out that he had been living at Hogwarts for two months.
Harry found himself becoming more familiar with the castle and enjoying life at Hogwarts, all of which were wonderful and fun except for the Potions lessons.
Even the three weekly Quidditch trainings were not boring for Harry.
In fact, for Harry, who had lacked athletic cells since he was a child and still looked a little stunted, this was the first time he could expect to shine in a sport.
still plays such a key role as a Seeker, which makes Harry a little flustered.
On this day, Harry arrived in the Great Hall, and before he could enter the door, he smelled a strong, sweet and enticing smell of roasted pumpkin.
Walking through the door, Harry saw several teachers decorating the auditorium, countless colorful decorations, constantly transforming and moving under the mastery of the professors' magical control.
It turned out that it was Halloween, time flies so fast, Harry thought to himself as Hagrid walked into the auditorium with a couple of huge pumpkins in his hands.
"Isn't that William? Where is he doing? ”
Ron's exclamation rang out from beside him, and Harry looked over to find William, who was helping to decorate the auditorium next to Professor Flitwick.
Everyone is the same age, why is the gap so big? Harry couldn't figure it out, he watched William cast the spell with ease, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, if I could cast the spell so easily,,,,。
On the other side of the auditorium, William was casting a Transfiguration Charm, conjuring the exterior of an ordinary lampholder into a pumpkin head-shaped decoration, and the two eyes of the pumpkin head were constantly flickering. From time to time, a few sparks splashed out of it, forming a fiery red ribbon in the air, which looked very beautiful.
In fact, it wasn't just William, there were many older students who were also helping.
"Excellent Transfiguration. Ravenclaw plus five points! Professor McGonagall saw this, and did not pity William's praise for his brilliant imagination and transfiguration skills.
"I wouldn't have done better at your age, William. My Transfiguration Improvement Class will always have the door open for you. ”
"I also hope to learn more from you, I am still far from you."
William modestly replied, knowing that he still had a lot to do with Transfiguration. At least the transformation of living creatures, William is still a little rusty, in addition to this, there is also Animagus, such a top-level transformation technique.
William naturally yearns for Animagus, but he is also very self-aware, especially after learning how many dangerous magical creatures are created by wizards using their own bodies to die, William's attitude towards Animagus is more cautious, he is still very young, but he does not want to follow in the footsteps of these martyrs at all.
Until he is completely sure, William will honestly refrain from trying these dangerous tricks.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Yes, you heard it right." In Charms class, Professor Flitwick said in a shrill voice,
"What we're going to learn today is the Levitation Charm, the one that we used to make those decorations fly around in the morning when we set up the Great Hall."
Professor Flitwick's words greatly stimulated the young wizards' enthusiasm for learning, and the students looked at Professor Flitwick with blank eyes, waiting for the professor's teaching.
Professor Flitwick divided the students into groups of two and handed out a long feather to each group.
William was placed in a group with a Ravenclaw girl named Lisa Dupin, and the girl was very lively, and when she smiled, she would show two sharp tiger teeth, and she looked very cute.
"The mantra we learned today, it's not hard. Remember that wrist movement we've been training for?
This is a very classic casting gesture of modern magic, many spells use it, remember, a wave, a shake, pay attention to the strength, let's review this gesture first. ”
After Professor Flitwick finished speaking, he first took the young wizards to review the magic gestures, and then the professor continued,
"The spell of the Levitation Charm is Wingardium Leviosa, everyone watch me do it first, pay attention to the speed at which I recite the spell, Wingardium Leviosa."
Professor Flitwick waved his wand and pronounced the incantation clearly, and under the gaze of the young wizards, the feather in front of the professor floated little by little, and slowly flew towards the sky under the guidance of Professor Flitwick's wand.
"Merlin is on top! It's so cool in is! Ron's rare exclamation rang out in the classroom.
"Has anyone noticed anything special about the speed of my spells when I chant them, Miss Granger?"
"That's how you pronounce it, Yuga ~ Dimlevi - O--Sa, the pronunciation of that plus word is very long."
"Gryffindor plus five points, you're observant, Miss Granger."
Ron muttered in a low voice, and the girl sat down as if she hadn't heard.
"Besides, there's another important thing, do you know Wizard Barufeo? He said F to S, and as a result, he summoned a bison that smashed his chest.
You remember, the pronunciation of the mantra must be clear, clear mantras, standard gestures, and firm faith, these are the three elements that people often say are necessary to successfully cast a mantra, come on, everyone try it. ”
It's easier said than done, don't look at the professor It's very easy to do, but when it comes to the little wizards doing it themselves, it's really too appropriate to describe it with flaws.
William glanced around and saw that not a single young wizard had successfully unleashed the Levitation Charm, and the funniest of them all was Ron of Gryffindor House, who was brandishing his wand and looking like a gibbon.
William noticed that next to Ron, Neville from the other group was looking at Ron with a sad face, because the latter's movements were so large that the wand in his hand was about to stab Neville in the head.
"William, let's start practicing, too." Lisa, who was in the same group, said,
"Okay, watch my spell moves, Yugadi Leviosa." William retracted his gaze, took out his wand and waved and shook it gently, and the feathers in front of him seemed to be gently held by an invisible hand, flying upwards little by little.
"Everyone, come and see, Mr. Friedrich has succeeded, excellent levitation charm, Ravenclaw plus five points!" Professor Flitwick's shrill voice rang out,
In fact, after more than two months of study and life, most professors and wouldn't add too many points to William at one time, and anyone could see that William's magic level was far superior to that of other first-year wizards of the same level.
So the professor prefers not to ask William to answer the question, or to reward him with a waiver of homework. (This was the envy of Ron, and the boy dreamed of not having to complete his homework.) )
In addition to Professor Flitwick, he still added points to William as usual, it seems that Ravenclaw may not have won the House Cup for too long, and William's appearance finally gave Professor Flitwick the hope of cutting off Slytherin's seventh consecutive championship.
However, William scratched his head, thinking to himself, it's not that he doesn't want to carry, but he is afraid that Dumbledore will give Harry a hanging, otherwise, under his own leadership, won't it be a matter of winning the House Cup, unless,,,,,,
"William, you're amazing. Can you teach me? What did I do wrong, why didn't the feathers float? Sally Dupin's crisp voice interrupted William's thoughts.
"Your gesture is wrong, you see my movements are like this,,,,,,,,,,"
