Chapter 18: Charms Lesson
With Ralph and William's support, the four of them finally arrived at the Charms classroom.
As a Ravenclaw, they all chose the front row, but poor Daniel couldn't escape the clutches of Lord William.
He was sandwiched between William and Ralph, with Ralph on the other side being Claude.
The four of them took out the book and read it, but Ralph was reading the book "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" that he had read on the train before.
"Ralph, what are you looking at?" Realizing that Ralph's book was different from his own, Daniel asked curiously.
"This." Ralph showed him the title of the book.
"Ancient Runiwen? Is it any use? Daniel asked.
"It's so useful." Ralph laughed, "Which do you think comes first, a spell or a spell?" ”
"Spell!" Claude on the side scrambled to answer.
"Yes, that's right, it's a spell. Wait, no, they should be in no particular order. Ralph frowned, began to think, and asked in passing, "Remember the main effect of the spell?" ”
"Clarify the effect of magic." Daniel replied immediately.
"Yes, but do you remember what I said about the three elements of the spell?" Ralph continued to ask.
"Aren't they effects, spells, and gestures?" William, who was one place away, replied.
"If there is no spell, can this 'spell' still be called a spell?" Ralph looked at William and asked seriously.
"If the spell comes first, isn't the effect of the spell certain?" Ralph continued.
"What about gestures?" Claude asked.
"Look at Daniel and William 'Awakened', do you think gestures still matter?"
"The function of gestures is only for ease of learning, and not every magical effect can be described abstractly with gestures."
"Forget it, let's not delve into the conceptual stuff. Back to the topic. Ralph said that he didn't know whether his thoughts were right or wrong.
"There are two ways in which a spell is invented, one is to create a spell with different runes arranged on top of each other, and the spell of this spell is these runes, and as long as it is translated into a readable language and simplified, the spell comes out."
That's what Runivin does. Of course, in addition to translating spells, it is also a text with magical effects that can be used to craft magical items. ”
Ralph said, and the three nodded.
"Another way for the invention of spells? Ralph. "William is like a curious baby.
"Talent, luck, and a deep foundation of magic, as if something came out of nothing, and a spell appeared."
When the freshmen heard their conversation, they also changed their impression of Ralph, who thought that he was just a guy with no fame, and that his intelligence was so amazing.
Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.
In today's Charms class, they were in the Hufflepuff class, and Roque sat pathetically in the first row with his roommates.
He himself sat next to Claude.
Perhaps influenced by the learning atmosphere of the eaglets, the badgers also took out their textbooks and previewed them.
Unlike Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick always arrives in the classroom just before class starts.
Perhaps that's why his lessons are so endearing.
Soon, class was on, and Professor Flitwick stood on top of a thick pile of books, took out the parchment, and began to roll call.
At the beginning, the professor gave a brief and interesting introduction to himself, and then he vividly explained the types of spells and how they differed from Transfiguration.
Spells are used to add specific properties to objects, focusing on what they "do"; Whereas, Transfiguration works by changing the properties of objects, focusing on "what is".
Both of them are derived from the power of magic, and because of the difference in ideas, they derive different biases, and are finally divided into two families.
Of course, the professor only touched on this part slightly, because it was too early for the young wizards, and even if some of them wrote it down, they might not be able to understand the meaning after graduation, or even until death.
As a teacher in a school that practices happiness education, Flitwick focuses on explaining the types of charms and their functions, as well as the differences between them.
Asked questions again and again, repeated, and almost wrote "This is the written exam question for your final exam" on my face.
Obviously, the differences have come out, and the Ravenclaw students all have a certain similarity, and that is the notes, which will be more vividly reflected in the history of magic.
And only a few of the students in the badger academy are copying board books, textbooks, and taking notes; Most people just write and draw in books, but it's pretty good; The last part of the group listened to the lesson purely as a story.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a professor at Hogwarts, and there is no one with this strength.
At the end of the first lesson, Professor Flitwick explained the three elements of spellcasting, spells, emotions, and techniques, all of which are indispensable.
Then, let everyone preview the [Floating Mantra] by themselves between classes, and practice it in the next class.
This coke has broken a lot of little wizards.
"Ralph, the professor doesn't say the same thing as you." Daniel said.
"Can one-to-many teaching be the same as one-to-one teaching?" William gave Daniel a blank look.
"Also, the professor has to consider some of the little wizards who aren't very gifted at spells," he said euphemistically, "like me." ”
"Huh!" What he got was Daniel's sneer.
Ralph closed the textbook, and seeing that they were fine, he took out the previous book and continued to read it.
Nearby, Roque was sharing with Claude what he had seen and heard in Hufflepuff, and told him that they had a late-night snack in their badger house every night, and that he felt like he was getting fat.
At the same time, he also secretly told Claude that on the first night, the seniors of the badger house took them to the school kitchen in batches.
"As a Hufflepuff student, you can't be bad at anything, you just can't eat badly!" ——A senior of a badger college.
They can even teach the house-elves new dishes if they are edible, tasty, and harmless.
Happy times are always short-lived, and lessons are taken when Ralph's fifth magical writing "Floating" Runiwen fails.
On the podium, Professor Flitwick chanted incantations, waved his wand, and delivered the feathers from the box to each of the young wizards' tables with an impeccable pre-cast crank.
"Mr. Alvi, please answer what spell I just used."
While everyone was surprised by the professor's hand, the absent-minded Ralph stood out.
"It's the Levitation Charm, Professor." Ralph stood up and replied.
"Very good, Ravenclaw plus 2 points, pay attention, Mr. Alvi, sit down." Professor Flitwick said cheerfully.
With a wave of his wand, he wrote the details of the [Levitation Charm] on the blackboard with chalk.
And he personally explained to everyone and demonstrated. It highlights the importance of reminding everyone not to make the wrong mantra, and gives an example of this:
A wizard summons a cow because he mispronounced a spell.
