Chapter 56: Practice
On Saturday night, the Hogwarts Requirement Room was packed with more than seventy students discussing something.
In today's Responsive Room, there is a row of wooden figures standing against the wall, and there are many soft cushions on the floor.
The students gathered in the middle of the house, discussing something.
It all started a week ago.
A few senior students who were lining up and chatting at the broomstick's track complained about the last two years of Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, believing that they had not taught the students anything useful.
As soon as this topic came out, it immediately resonated with senior students.
Although the professors of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts class changed every year, they were all reliable professors, unlike the two bales of last year and this year.
At this time, someone suggested that everyone should practice together in a group, anyway, it is very common for everyone to get together to practice spells recently, and the difference is only that this time the practice is the defense of the dark arts.
When a few students heard this, they thought that this method was really good, so the team did not line up, and everyone went to the food club next to them to sit down and discuss while eating.
After the discussion, this one brought a friend in, and the one who pulled the girl in the strategy in. As a result, in just one week, by the time the party began, more than 70 people came at once, and the guys who proposed it at the beginning were dumbfounded.
And a large number of the students who come to participate are students from the fourth grade and above, because they will have to take the O.W.Ls and N.E.W.TS exams next year and this year.
So, let's discuss a charter together.
After more than 20 minutes of discussion, everyone decided to practice in groups and hold an event here every Saturday night in the future.
Students in Years 1 to 3 form the Lower Grades, students in Years 4 and 5 form O.W.Ls groups, and students in Years 6 and 7 form the N.E.W.TS groups.
Then everyone divided the field and practiced separately.
Each group selects a few outstanding students to mentor the other students.
Among the instructors of the junior group, everyone unanimously chose Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Zhang Xu.
In the previous Dueling Club, Harry Potter defeated Draco Malfoy on stage, and with the title of "Savior", a group of young wizards were convinced of his prowess.
Hermione was a well-known jack of all trades in the school, and there seemed to be no problem that could be difficult for her to be caught in the Lion House's main force in class. In addition to the nickname "Miss Jack-of-all-trades", her new nickname "The Big Library on the Move" has also begun to circulate recently.
As for Zhang Xu, he now belongs to the first level of campus legends. He was the only one in school who could wrestle with Hermione. Eagle Academy's class is a little expert in brushing points, and he has more points than Hermione, after all, Snape doesn't want to see Hermione in Potions class, but he looks at Zhang Xu differently. As for combat effectiveness, several senior students once asked him to go to the rooftop to compete with each other, but these students did not mention the results of the competition.
Therefore, the students in the lower school group unanimously chose the three of them to be the instructors.
During the whole process of this event, Zhang Xu didn't say a word, just being a melon eater on the side.
He also wanted to know how everyone would do this time.
The result is that everyone worked together and did it beautifully.
"I think the first thing I'm going to practice is to remove your weapon, as you know, it's the disarming spell. I know it's more basic, but I think it does work. Hermione said to the students gathered in front of the three of them.
Zhang Xu and Harry nodded on the side.
"Shouldn't we practice more powerful spells?" One student said.
"There is no such thing as the power of a spell, only whether it is used properly or not." Zhang Xu said, "The right spell at the right time can often play a greater role than those spells that seem to be more powerful but are not suitable." And with your current magic power, even if you cast an Avada Death Spell on me, it wouldn't be as powerful as if you smashed me with a history of magic textbook. Year 2 and Year 3 students will remember that last year's Halloween, Miss Granger used illumination to protect herself against the trolls, and Mr. Ron Weasley defeated the trolls with Feather Gandim Leviosa. At that time, Mr. Harry Potter was still a green fruit, and he did not choose the right method, and as a result, he was injured. So remember, the right spell is the most powerful spell. ”
Hearing Zhang Xu mention himself, the Harry trio were a little embarrassed.
"So how do you know which spells are best suitable?" Another student asked.
"That's a good question." Zhang Xu replied, "Actually, there is no standard answer to this question. In order to make a correct judgment, you must first understand which spells you know which spells you are good at, and secondly, you must know what the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy are. Only by knowing these two points can we make a correct judgment. And to do this, it depends on practice, learning, and experience. ”
After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Harry.
Harry clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said, "Next, Miss Granger will explain the disarming charm to everyone, and then I will demonstrate it for you." After that, everyone started to practice in pairs. ”
Next, Hermione explained the pronunciation and gestures of the disarming charm, as well as a few things that could be easily mistaken.
Harry then pulled Ron out as a target and demonstrated it to the group.
After that, it's time to practice in pairs.
For a time, various situations occurred frequently on the side of the junior group.
Some people flew out with their wands, some people turned the other person into an exploding head, and one student succeeded, but the head was not good, and the spell flew to the side of the O.W.Ls group and hit others.
Harry and Hermione were constantly correcting the wrong pronunciations and gestures of the students' spells, while Zhang Xu fished on the sidelines, only helping a student's companion when the spell was wrong.
Gradually, the students' spells began to look like they, and there were almost no serious mistakes except for their lack of skill.
At this time, Zhang Xu began to stand aside and continue to fish.
Zhang Xu looked at the other two groups, and they were also practicing well, and there were even people who sprinkled dog food while practicing.
On the N.E.W.TS side, the students' spells are already combative, and if they practice more, it is estimated that the Ministry of Magic will not be able to sit still.
This is also fortunate that Dumbledore is not very interested in power, otherwise with Hogwarts as the basic plate, it would be easier for him to follow the path of Headmaster Chang Kaishen and dominate the world.
At the end of tonight's event, under Zhang Xu's reminder, everyone remembered a very important thing, and everyone did not name their own event organization.
