Chapter 46: Summoning Spell
To Tom's reassurance, Professor Flitwick was not strict in his temperament, and he was kind to his students - even if he and Harry couldn't catch up and were late, Professor Flitwick wouldn't be too harsh.
After a scramble to wash up, the two hurriedly grabbed their schoolbags and hurried to the Charms classroom.
In the hallways of the castle, the unattended students walked in twos and threes, and Harry and Tom ran past them like the wind, and even accidentally bumped into them, and they all laughed understandingly—who hasn't overslept and rushed to class?
Fortunately, the two of them ran wildly all the way and finally entered the classroom at the moment of class.
The fellow Slytherin students looked at Tom and Harry with a little disgust, as if they had lost their face by the way they were panting on their knees.
Professor Flitwick laughed, and didn't say anything reproachful, just told them to hurry to their seats.
"Today, we will learn the Summoning Spell. Professor Flitwick stood on a tall stack of books, half of his body peeking out of the podium, "A summoning spell is a summoning spell that allows distant objects to fly into the caster's hands. This spell is not difficult, but it is not so easy to succeed. ”
"The spellcaster must be preoccupied with what is to be summoned. ”
Flitwick had finished speaking, and Harry raised his hand in the air.
Tom suddenly had a wonderful feeling in his heart, "My son finally knows how to work hard."
You know, before this, when Harry and Tom were in class together, except for obediently casting spells carefully according to the professor's instructions, they would hardly raise their hands to speak, and sometimes Tom wondered if Harry was secretly distracted in class, and the success of casting spells was all due to Harry's extraordinary magical talent.
"Mr. Potter, what's your problem?"
"Professor," Harry put his hand down, "is the summoning charm something that can be summoned, and if I forget to bring my textbook to class, can I use the summoning charm to summon my textbook?"
There was a low laugh in the class, and even Professor Flitwick couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"I hope you haven't forgotten to bring the textbook for this lesson. Professor Flitwick laughed, "Of course, Mr. Potter's question is a good one. Summoning charms can be used to summon most things, but not buildings and most living creatures. ”
"Why?" asked Pansy Parkinson aloud.
Professor Flitwick glanced at her and replied, "While we can summon through the container or carrier in which the creature is located, there is a great chance that the summoned creature will be damaged due to the fact that objects move at close to the speed of light when the summoning spell is cast. ”
"So, I can't use the Summoning Charm to summon someone I want to meet?" Pansy Parkinson said disappointedly.
The laughter in the classroom rang out again, and Tom shook his head with a smile: it seems that the students have reached the time for spring to sprout.
But as soon as he turned his head, Tom caught a glimpse of Harry's cheeks, too, blushing and looking a little disappointed.
Tom raised an eyebrow with great interest - there was a situation...... When he didn't pay much attention to his good friend, he actually had the object of his heart?
Professor Flitwick laughed along: "Theoretically, this is not possible. First, use a summoning charm to summon items, the larger the item, the more mana is required, and secondly, if you want to summon a living thing, the smaller and less independent thinking the living thing is, the easier it is to summon. ”
"And although the size of human beings is much smaller than that of many magical creatures, we have our own minds, and even if the spellcaster wants to summon, they need to use magic to apply the idea of their own summoning to the caster - wanting to change a person's mind in the air, this is something that cannot be achieved by a summoning spell, and why it is impossible to summon people with a summoning spell. ”
Several sighs of disappointment rang out in the classroom.
"Straight to the point. Whether or not the caster can successfully summon the item he wants depends on the caster's mana and concentration. Theoretically, the farther away an object is, the harder it is to summon. ”
Tom had a flash of inspiration, the summoning spell can summon the item that the spell caster wants to summon, so can it also summon the Kuro card?
"Professor," Pansy Parkinson asked, reluctantly, "what if I wanted to try to summon someone with a summoning charm? If that person was sleeping, I would have a better chance of succeeding—after all, he didn't know I was summoning him, and he probably wouldn't have thought of resisting, right?"
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss Parkinson," Professor Flitwick said with a serious expression instead of a smile, "I can understand your desire to see someone, but I don't approve of you using this spell on anyone. ”
He looked around the classroom with a solemn face, watching everyone gradually put away their smiles before he continued, "I suppose everyone doesn't want to see someone you like get hurt by your summoning spell, right?"
Wounded?
The students looked at each other, and Tom couldn't imagine that such a simple spell would hurt.
As Professor Flitwick mentioned earlier, when using a summoning spell on a living creature, it may cause damage due to the speed at which it flies.
But when using a summoning spell on a person, isn't it impossible to summon the person, so that the person being cast can still be harmed?
"I know you have doubts in your minds right now," Professor Flitwick knocked on the podium, drawing everyone's attention, "If the spellcaster's determination is strong enough, then there is a chance that the caster is still in his place, but some of his organs are detached from his body and flying towards you. ”
It's horrible.
Tom shuddered, realizing the gravity of the matter.
After Professor Flitwick's lecture, the classroom resounded with the sound of students practicing mantras.
As Tom expected, Harry was the first in the class to cast the summoning spell, which made Professor Flitwick's face smile like a chrysanthemum.
After Harry's success, there was a succession of students who succeeded.
Malfoy was the second, and Tom didn't succeed until the end of class.
Tom was satisfied, and although he was one of the last few students to succeed, he did it, didn't he?
