Chapter 38: Summoning
Professor Flitwick was an experienced teacher, and he knew that most of the students had limited patience, and after teaching the theory of magic for a while, he began to teach everyone how to use magic, and the first spell glow spell for the new students to learn.
The Glow Charm is one of the greatest forms of magic invented in the eighteenth century, and it is almost the simplest of all spells.
"Come, read it to me, the fluorescent light is flickering!" Professor Flitwick was teaching kindergarten children to read.
"Fluorescent flickering. "Everyone actually reads.
"Very well, just raise your wand and say the spell of fluorescent flickering. Professor Flitwick gave the class a practical demonstration, repeating, "It's important to remember how to swing the wand and pronounce the spell correctly." ”
"Okay, why not give it a try now?"
The classroom immediately sounded the sound of chanting spells, and Albert naturally practiced the glowing spell in a pretending manner, although he had mastered the glowing spell, but he couldn't everyone practice it, and he was watching from the sidelines, how unsociable it was!
"Look, Mr. Anderson has succeeded, he has succeeded in mastering this spell. Professor Flitwick shouted, "Good, Gryffindor plus 5 points." ”
Everyone looked at each other in unison, and Albert was a little uncomfortable to be stared at by so many eyes, and he turned his head sideways to glare at Lee Jordan, who was slapping him the shoulder.
In fact, there are not many students who light their wands immediately, they just can't last long, and the light on the wand will go out.
The twins and Lee Jordan still haven't been able to fully grasp the spell before class, and Diggory has succeeded in lighting his wand, but it is extinguished soon after.
Of course, there was a slight accident in the Charms classroom, when a Hufflepuff student flicked his wand so hard that flames erupted in front of the wand, setting the hapless man's robe on fire.
The guy was punished by Professor Flitwick for transcribing the sentence: I'm a wizard, not a baboon swinging a stick.
Shanna, who had spoken to Albert in the morning, was not doing well, and after several unsuccessful attempts, her wand actually emitted choking black smoke, and Professor Flitwick used magic to roll the black smoke out of the classroom.
"I can't learn at all. Shanna looked desperate.
"Don't worry, there's still time for everyone to master this magic. Professor Flitwick comforted the students who had not succeeded in lighting their wands, and continued, "You need to keep your mind and focus. ”
Before class, Professor Flitwick left homework for everyone.
"Your homework is to practice the glowing spell, and we will continue to learn this spell in the next class, as well as its counterspell. ”
For Albert, of course, his homework was done.
After class, Albert deliberately stayed at the end of the line, intending to ask Professor Flitwick some questions.
Well, about the magic of using a wand to conjure an umbrella.
"Mr. Anderson, your copying charm is working well. Professor Flitwick smiled and looked at the student in front of him, "You're very talented at spells. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Professor Flitwick. Albert gladly accepted the compliment, "I want to ask you about a kind of magic." ”
"What magic?"
"How can I conjure an umbrella out of my wand?" Albert asked, intending to take the opportunity to learn the magic.
"Conjure an umbrella?" Professor Flitwick wondered, "why would you want to conjure an umbrella out of a wand?"
"Ahem, in this way, didn't it rain all the time for the first two days, and I thought that if I could conjure an umbrella, I wouldn't have to worry about getting wet in the rain!" Albert said seriously.
Professor Flitwick couldn't help but laugh, some people just learn spells to "save trouble", and Mr. Anderson in front of him is undoubtedly such a person.
"Mr. Anderson, do you know what a spell is?" Professor Flitwick asked with a smile.
"A spell is a spell that adds specific properties to an object or creature. "Albert recited the theory of charms that he had just learned in class, that is, conjuring an umbrella out of a wand, and it was not spellology?
"Looks like you've got it. Professor Flitwick nodded, "The umbrella you said about conjuring an umbrella from a wand is actually a branch of metamorphosis summoning. ”
"Summoning?" Albert had only heard of the Flying Charm.
Flitwick raised his wand and conjured a flower out of thin air.
"It's summoning, it's not a spell that comes out of nowhere, no one can conjure something out of thin air. Flitwick handed Albert the unknown flower and continued, "I just summoned the flower from somewhere. ”
"Well, I kind of understand, it's like a descaling charm, it just moves things away? It's not really gone, it's just disappearing from us. ”
"Yes, it looks like you've studied your books well. Flitwick was glad that Albert understood, and he added, "Summoning is the knowledge of the O.W.L., and its counterpart is the Vanishing Charm, which is a bit simpler, and if you want to know more about it, I suggest you ask Professor McGonagall, and she will be glad you ask her about it." ”
"Of course, if you don't understand spells, you can also come and ask me. Flitwick raised his hand and pointed to the three people waiting at the door: "You guys have classes later, don't be late." ”
"Professor, I have another question. ”
Professor Flitwick did not speak, waiting for Albert's next words.
"Can we store the light source of the glowing spell, I mean we can use it if we are not used to magic. Albert threw up his own question, which he thought might have something to do with Dumbledore's light extinguisher principle.
"It's an interesting idea, as far as I know, it should be doable, but it's a bit hard for you because there's a lot of stuff involved. Professor Flitwick was amazed that Albert would ask such a question, "I'm curious, why do you think that way?"
"In the Muggle world, there is something called a flashlight, which is like a glowing charm, and the light can be turned on or off as you wish. ”
Speaking of this, Albert's tone paused, as he found out that there was a new task on the panel.
Inventor of the magic lamp.
When you're younger, you seem to have accidentally touched a certain field, so why don't you take your ideas forward?
Research and create a magic lamp.
Rewarding 3000 XP, Glowing Spell Level +1, Lights Out Spell Level +1, Title: Inventor of the Magic Lamp.
After Albert walked out of the classroom, George hurriedly stepped forward and asked curiously, "What are you asking Flitwick?"
"What's the problem? How to conjure an umbrella with a wand, of course. ”
"The result?"
"Professor Flitwick says it's O.W.L. Transfiguration," Albert was a little depressed, wondering if he had figured out a way to learn summoning.
"It seems that you won't be able to conjure an umbrella anytime soon. Fred couldn't help but laugh.
The four of them walked together towards the history of magic classroom on the second floor.
