Chapter 6: Good goods study, day day up!
Campus life officially began, and as a first-year freshman, Zhang Xu had to study Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Herbology, and Flying Lessons. Zhang Xu, who had no shortcuts in learning, soon threw himself into intense study.
The first problem the new students encountered in class was the Hogwarts staircase.
There are a total of one hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts. Some of them are wide and large; Some are narrow, small, and wobbly; Some go to different places every Friday; Some of them will disappear halfway up, and you have to remember where to jump over them. In addition, there are many doors that will not open for you if you unceremoniously ask them to open them, or poke them in the right place; Other doors weren't real doors at all, just sturdy walls that looked like doors. It's hard to remember what's in what place, because everything seems to be constantly moving.
These stairs reminded Zhang Xu of the time when he played the game maze in his previous life, and at the same time, he complained in his heart that Hogwarts was so poor that he couldn't even afford street signs.
The second problem that the freshmen encountered in class was Peeves. Peeves who like to play pranks always like to play tricks on students who are rushing to class, such as throwing things at you, tripping your feet with things, and making surprise attacks on students.
But after the second day of the semester, the students were no longer bothered by Peeves' pranks.
Peeves took a handful of chalk heads and threw students in the hallway that day. When two chalk heads flew towards Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu waved his wand, and the chalk heads bounced off the wall next to him.
Peeves saw that some students dared to resist him, and seemed to feel offended, so he threw all the chalk heads at Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu, who was rushing to the Charms class, was annoyed by Peeves, first used his wand to blow away the chalk head with a gust of wind, and then took out a piece of rune paper folded into a triangle from the treasure bag, entered a little magic power, and threw it at Peeves.
As soon as the rune paper left Zhang Xu's hand, it turned into a white light and crashed into Peeve, and Peeves flew upside down as if he had been hit head-on by the Harmony train.
Later, according to Nick, who was almost headless, Peeves flew half of Hogwarts Castle and then hid on the top floor of a tower for a week.
From then on, Peeves never dared to play pranks on his students again.
After this incident, Zhang Xu became famous for a while, and he didn't see the rumors of the students who didn't see Zhang Xu take out the rune paper, and with a wave of his hand, he beat the lawless Peeves who could be called the Hogwarts tyrant to change his mind and become a ghost again.
Zhang Xu knew that the exorcism talisman he took out that day was the nemesis of a ghost like Peeve, if it wasn't for the lack of magic input that day, but just the scared trembling after knocking Peeves flying, then Peeves would only appear in the school history in the future.
It seems that the school's management has become tired of the Peeves who have been destroying all the time, and no professor has come to Zhang Xu because of this incident afterwards.
Another effect of this incident was that Zhang Xu gained the friendship of the administrator Argus Filch.
School life continues in this way, full of tension and accidents.
In the spell class, Zhang Xu learned what it means to be invisible.
Professor Flitwick, Dean of Ravenclaw, is an open-minded, funny, and respectable professor.
In the first few spell lessons, Professor Flitwick explained the effects of wand swinging and spell pronunciation on spells, which benefited Zhang Xu a lot.
After class, Zhang Xu often consulted Professor Flitwick about the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western spells with the same effect, and Professor Flitwick was very interested in this and carefully analyzed these spells with Zhang Xu. Professor Flitwick's profound knowledge of charms, coupled with Zhang Xu's methods of analyzing problems that are different from those in the Western wizarding world, make the cooperation between the two very harmonious. In such extracurricular overtime, both of them benefited a lot, and the most prominent performance was the rapid rise of Zhang Xu's level in magic spells.
The herbal medicine class is also a class that Zhang Xu likes. Zhang Xu has a talent for farming and growing vegetables, and Zhang Xu's performance in this class was praised by Professor Sprout.
But as the course progressed, Professor Sprout became wary of Zhang. The reason is that Zhang Xu often asks Professor Sprout some questions, can you eat in these questions? Is it tasty? How to eat? occupies a large part. This led Professor Sprout to put a "forbidden to eat" sign next to the forbidden herbs.
Zhang Xu also gave Professor Sprout some seeds of rat fruit, ghost withered vine and ambergris, which made Professor Sprout ecstatic.
The history of magic is basically a lesson for students to supplement their sleep, and after Zhang Xu found that he could pass the exam by memorizing a chronology of historical events before the exam, he also joined the army of sleep, or wrote homework for other subjects in class.
After the History of Magic class, Zhang Xu, who had slept well, would pester Professor Binns and ask him to tell him some secret history of the legends of Hogwarts School, and finally Zhang Xu confirmed the existence of the legend of the secret room.
The astronomy class was the one that Zhang Xu hated the most, because it took up his precious sleep time.
And the Potions class, which made an unnamed Harry Potter hate, did not make Zhang Xu hate it.
Professor Snape's preference for Slytherin and his dislike of Harry Potter because his childhood sweetheart's son was not his own had nothing to do with the Ravenclaw students.
After Zhang Xu sorted out the "Potions Class Safety Management System" according to the "Chemical Laboratory Safety Management System" and the "Potions Class Self-Mutual Inspection Management Specification" according to the "Self-inspection Management Specification" and taught it to Ravenclaw's classmates, accidents such as explosions, explosions and explosions in the Potions class were basically insulated from Ravenclaw.
After half a month of trial and found that the effect was remarkable, Zhang Xu handed over the improved "Potions Class Safety Management System" and "Potions Class Self-Inspection Management Specification" to Professor Snape, earning a lot of points for Ravenclaw College.
After class, Zhang Xu also found Professor Snape.
Zhang Xu came up with a formula for a fireproof potion for clothing that had encountered a bottleneck in the middle of his research, and approached Professor Snape, hoping that Professor Snape could help improve the formula.
It took Professor Snape a week to perfect the recipe, and then shared the patent for the recipe with Zhang Xu.
In the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Zhang Xu had to use the extension function on his robe, after inserting a card into a bag in the robe, as long as he entered the magic power, the disgusting smell of garlic could not be smelled within three meters of the robe.
As the annual boss of Professor Quirrell, Zhang Xu was not in the mood to communicate with him too much, but only asked him if the vampire he met in Romania once was named Remilia Scarlet.
Zhang Xu also discovered that Professor Quirrell, who claimed to have been given to him a large scarf by an African prince, was 100% wholesaled from Yiwu Commodity City.
In the first Transfiguration class, Zhang Xu made the biggest joke of the year in school.
Knowing that Professor McGonagall was a very strict professor, students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff arrived early in the classroom.
When Zhang Xu came to the classroom, he saw that Professor McGonagall was not there, and found a cat sitting on the podium, so he took out a small dried fish from his treasure bag and walked up to the podium to tease the cat, and then Zhang Xu saw a disgusted expression on the cat's face.
Seeing that the small dried fish was ineffective against the cat, Zhang Xu took out another cat teasing stick, and then Zhang Xu saw an MDZZ expression on the cat's face.
Seeing that these usual methods that could amuse Mrs. Loris's pleasure were ineffective, Zhang Xu wanted to reach out and scratch the cat's chin, but was blocked by the cat's paws.
At this time, it is time for class.
Then Zhang Xu finished the Transfiguration class in the trembling of 30 Hz.
