Chapter 30: Flitwick's Arms Show (2-in-1)
Harry didn't know all about what the black Patronus said it meant, but the strange magic kept him pondering all night.
Compared to the other first-year wizards, Harry was obviously thinking more.
Especially the last two sentences of Grindelwald, although the voice was not loud, he could hear it clearly as he sat in the first row.
Someone needs to go into the darkness and guard the light. ''Time is running out. ’
The two sentences themselves already revealed a lot of information that Harry had to ponder, and with a little thought, he could easily come up with the answer that the wizarding world was about to face some kind of war.
"Hopefully it's just my whims."
Although there were many questions that could not be answered, but thinking too much at the moment could only add to his troubles, he rolled over and covered his yawn, and closed his eyes while it was still dark, even a short nap could restore a lot of energy.
After asking for an espresso in the kitchen, Harry, who was in a lot of spirits, stepped on the fourth floor of the castle, the Charms classroom was already packed, this class was with Gryffindor, compared to the silence of Transfiguration and Defence Against the Dark Arts class, the Charms class was much more relaxed and pleasant.
The little Professor Flitwick stepped on a tall stack of books so that he could catch all the students in his eyes, and now that there were still a few minutes before the class began, Professor Flitwick, who had no shelves at all, waved his fingers lightly, summoning a lot of small magic tricks, attracting the attention of many young wizards.
"Sorry I'm late, Professor."
Harry paused at the doorway to the classroom, then walked over to Flitwick and spoke softly.
"No need to apologize, kid, it's not class yet." Professor Flitwick replied with a smile, glancing at the scar on Harry's forehead before winking at him, "Go find an empty seat, we're going to get started." ”
As the class bell rang, Professor Flitwick gave a brief roll call, but as the class began, his expression became a little more serious, which made the young wizards sit down obediently and not as playful as before.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, to my Charms class, and I'm sure everyone here is very interested in magic."
With a flick of his finger, a neatly drifting line of board books appeared on the blackboard.
"In my opinion, the one who must be a good wizard is to be able to use magic proficiently."
"Our lives, our work, our everything, as wizards, our world is inseparable from the company of magic, and magic spells are the most important part of magic."
"Transfiguration is very powerful, and potions and herbology are also very important subjects, but compared to the spells that have permeated every corner of a wizard's life, they cannot be the backbone of the wizarding world."
"In my class, I will teach you step by step how to become a qualified wizard, how to use spells to change your life, and make it a good helper for your life."
"Before you start the formal course, I need you to remember this sentence: 'If you don't want your life to be a mess, then don't be careless in using spells.'"
"Of course, the first thing we need to do before we start learning the first mantra is to get to know the good partner who will be with us for the rest of our lives."
"Please take out your wands and put them on the table."
As soon as they heard this, the little wizards immediately came to their senses, although they had taken out their wands in the Transfiguration class, but the difficult Transfiguration seemed to be laughing at their indiscretion, and only a handful of people could complete the little trick of turning matches into needles, and most of them could not even make the matchsticks appear subtle changes.
There was a jumble of voices, and the little wizards pulled out their wands from various places, some pulled out their flintlock pistols from the back of their butts, and some pulled out their own dicks from the front of their butts.
"Please don't try to stick your wand behind your buttocks, especially if your magic fluctuations have not yet stabilized completely, maybe you are only one strong mood swing away from the blossoming of your butt, of course, it is not okay to hide in front of your butt, that will be the result worse."
"Fourteen years ago, Peeves managed to sneak into the kitchen and mix something strange into the soup for lunch, and that afternoon, the Hogwarts bathroom was completely full.
Flitwick, who told a little story, piqued the interest of the young wizards, and everyone listened attentively, curious about what had happened fourteen years ago.
"In the waiting moment of the competition for willpower, the anxious and urgent emotions will continue to accumulate, and this strong emotion will make the magic fluctuate unsteadily, especially for a young wizard like eleven, twelve, or thirteen years old, who has just entered the period of magic stability, it is the beginning of a nightmare."
"That afternoon, some hapless children had a big fluctuation in their magic for this reason, and the wand, which was an extension of our limbs, went off fire at that time."
"Every little wizard who wipes a gun, I mean every little wizard who sticks his wand behind his ass, gets an impressive lesson that afternoon."
"Oh-uh......" The little wizards who had already made up the tragic picture frowned in disgust, and this flavorful story made many people subconsciously cover their butts.
"Of course, the unlucky ones are the ones who put their wands in front of their butts, and those unlucky children spent half a month in the school hospital in order to heal their psychological wounds."
"Hiss~"
A breath of cold air gasped, especially for the boys who were hiding in front of them, their pale faces were enough to show everything.
"A wand is an extension of a wizard's siblings, and the correct use of your wand is the first skill that every qualified wizard needs to master."
"Mr. Potter, could you please show us this?"
Professor Flitwick did not hesitate to call Harry's name, and thanks to Mr. Ollivander Sr. 's suggestion, Harry completed Professor Flitwick's first assignment without knowing it.
"Very good enchanted alchemy holster, the most suitable for storing a pistol-shaped wand, is from the Ollivanders wand shop, right, they designed the holster can perfectly prevent misfire events caused by mood swings, especially suitable for young wizards whose magic has not been completely stable."
After Harry got up at Flitwick's signal and lifted his robe, revealing the holster around his waist, Flitwick pointed to it and introduced it to the group.
"I think everyone should have one, and you don't have to choose Ollivanders, whether it's Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade Village, there are shops selling these kinds of storage utensils, and the price is very cheap, usually not more than one sico."
"Of course, if there are conditions, Ollivanders' fine enchanted alchemy holster is the first choice, and if anyone can get the Charms course O (excellent) by the end of this year, I will give it as a reward to every student who studies seriously."
A low cheer sounded, for a master of charms who fed the whole family without hunger, such a small reward would not cost much money, but it could increase the students' enthusiasm for learning a lot, not to mention, this reward could also be reimbursed by Hogwarts, Dumbledore was a very generous headmaster.
"Now, then." Professor Flitwick snapped his fingers and motioned for attention, "The next thing we're going to learn is to recognize the wand in our hands. ”
"Perhaps some people already know that our wands have many different forms, and each form has its own different characteristics, and now any of our classmates have completed the first form change of their wand, raise their hands for everyone to see."
Eight or nine hands were raised, as Ollivander said, under normal circumstances, after a wizard gets his wand, it takes a certain amount of time to run in before activating the first transformation of the wand, and very few people can complete it within a month of getting the wand, let alone activate it at the first touch.
"Students who have not changed their wands do not need to be discouraged, it takes a certain amount of time for the wand to run in with the wizard, which is a stage that every wizard will go through."
"The initial form of the wand is the same shape, that is, the form of the flintlock pistol, at this stage, because the wand is not fully run-in, so when casting spells, wizards will be limited to a certain extent, for example, the frequency of casting spells will be relatively low, under normal circumstances, the interval between the two spells will be about three seconds, but this will not affect your daily contact, only in the duel, this defect will be magnified."
"Although the speed of the flintlock pistol to gather mana is a little slower, it is better to be stable, and when the spell fails, it will also reduce the consequences of the spell error due to its own insurance mechanism, which is a great support for novice wizards, of course, you should not try it deliberately, otherwise it will be difficult to wash it off if you are blackened."
"And the first advance of the wand will inevitably be the most commonly used and most widely used form by wizards, the pistol form."
Professor Flitwick was finally not empty-handed, and he didn't see any big movements, but with a slight flick of his wrist, a revolver that had shrunk a little to fit the size of his palm, like Grindelwald's Browning M1935, this extremely luxurious revolver was simply a collector's item that should not be used, the translucent body seemed to be carved from flawless gemstones, revealing a fascinating deep blue, a more brilliant and flawless blue than the heart of the ocean.
It took Harry a great deal of effort to identify the model of the overly extravagant revolver, and if he wasn't mistaken, the petite Professor Flitwick was holding a revolver that was the exact opposite of his size, a Smith Wesson M500 revolver capable of loading 12.7mm pistol rounds and shattering an elephant's skull.
When this fierce killing weapon, known as a 'real man', was in the hands of Flitvier's slender palm, Harry couldn't feel anything abrupt, as if it should be so, as it should be.
"After completing the change of pistol form, there is no longer a very hard standard for the interval between spells, unless there is a certain limit to the form of your wand itself, and some wands can fire spells that are more powerful than other wands, thanks to the changed form, but at the cost of reduced accuracy or longer spell intervals."
"The best casting range of a pistol-shaped wand is roughly within fifty meters, within this distance, as long as the aim is accurate, then the spell can hit accurately, and there is no loss of power, and this form of wand is easy to store, and it is also very suitable for quick withdrawal in case of emergency."
"And when you have more control over your own magic and have a better run-in with the wand, the second form will come to an advanced level."
"Here, there are generally two branches, one is the submachine gun form that tends to duel and can cast spells more quickly by sacrificing a certain amount of spell power, and the shotgun form that shortens the range and dramatically increases the range of the spell and instantly bursts power."
"Both of these branches can be mastered, this is also the more commonly used wand advancement, in general, the shotgun form is more suitable for the release of Transfiguration, and the shotgun form will be more efficient for large-scale terrain changes."
"After the basic form changes, the wand will have advanced advancements that are relatively difficult to master, which are: an assault rifle that increases the accuracy, range, and power of the spell, and a further machine gun form; The Precision Rifle and the advanced Sniper Rifle form greatly increase the accuracy, range, and power of the Enchantment, as well as the Shotgun Advanced, with a longer range, higher accuracy, greater range, and more powerful Grenade Launcher and Rocket Launcher forms. ”
Every time Professor Flitwick speaks of the transformation of a wand, the wand in his hand will change accordingly, to Harry's surprise, as a champion of several wizarding duel competitions, he seems to be an all-rounder without any shortcomings, and the appearance of each changing gun is extremely luxurious.
And the meaning behind this gorgeousness seems to be self-evident, the reality is not a simple kryptonite game, after the gorgeous performance, there must be extraordinary significance.
Harry raised his hand, he had long wanted to ask what the skin was for.
"Professor, may I ask you a question?"
"Of course, Mr. Potter." Flitwick nodded, smiling.
"Why is your wand so different from ours? Whether it's Professor McGonagall, Professor Grindelwald, or you, your wands are a work of art like no other. ”
Although the cold metallic feel is Harry's favorite color, if he can get his hands on the skin, Harry will definitely not miss it.
"That's what I'm going to tell you next."
Professor Flitwick nodded slightly, then shook the crystal revolver in his hand.
"As you become more familiar with the wand form, your wand will grow as you progress, and the beauty of the wand form is a representation of your mastery of the wand form."
"From the simple pattern and color change until you grow it into your own unique wand form, your spells will be deepened by the wand change, even if your spellcasting ability does not improve in the slightest."
"It's the Light Spell too." Professor Flitwick lifted the M500, which had suddenly turned a silvery metallic color, and pulled the trigger on the ceiling, "Fluorescent flickering. ”
A fist-sized ball of light fluttered out of the muzzle, and along with it the classroom curtains, which were automatically closed to obscure the bright sunlight outside.
The light emitted by the fist-sized ball of light illuminated an area of about five meters, and outside of the area, the light began to dim.
"If I use the Light Charm with the same amount of magic, but in my current form... Fluorescent flash. ”
The crystal skin of the revolver was once again pulled on the trigger.
A brilliant ribbon of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and the freely manipulated light was kneaded at random under Professor Flitwick's mind, sometimes emitting light to illuminate the entire classroom, and sometimes turning into a rainbow of light rain from the ceiling, this magic that should have been the same light technique was enhanced epicly after changing the wand skin, and the first appearance of the kryptonite boss instantly took the hearts of a group of leopard-headed players.
The difference between heaven and earth left a deep impression on the hearts of every little wizard, even if what they saw was only the most basic small magic 'Light Spell', but the shock was not reduced in the slightest.
The little wizards reached out to catch the rain of light falling from the ceiling, but at that moment, the closed curtains were opened.
"I guess you're already jumping on the try, right?" Professor Flitwick spoke briskly, "Now turn to the first page of your book, and we have half an hour to practice this spell together." ”
"Put down your wand and read it with me."
"Fluorescent flickering."
The young wizards hurriedly sat down, and then recited the familiar spell with Flitwick one by one.
The doors of the wizarding world opened silently, and the light spell that emitted a glimmer of light also illuminated the way forward for them in this silence.
