Chapter Twenty-Six: A Busy Day
The newly acquired class schedule is still not much different from last semester, as if Hogwarts doesn't want young wizards to accept new things too soon.
Except for the addition of a new "emergency evacuation training course", the number of one-week courses remains at about 13.
For Zhang Xiao, who has experienced dozens of class hours a week, it is as easy as being on vacation.
It is worth mentioning that the Hogwarts timetable is similar to that in China, and is not divided into AB weeks like Muggle schools in the UK, but has a fixed schedule for a single week.
In the new week, Zhang Xiao has lived her favorite regular life again, and they are still learning how to take care of mandrakes under the guidance of Professor Sprout.
Zhang Xiao has always felt that the mandrake is the monkey version of the ginseng doll, in addition to changing the pot, the mandrake has special needs for soil moisture and light.
As long as there are things that are not done well, they will dare to die to show you.
It was also with Professor Sprout who exchanged about the cultivation of ginseng, and Zhang Xiao learned that every time the little wizards finished class, the professor had to spend a lot of time cleaning up the mess for the little wizards.
Otherwise, these mandrakes in the school would have been a long time ago.
From 11 to 12 o'clock, Professor McGonagall was in a transfiguration class, and the professor was not in a hurry to teach anything new, but took the young wizards to review the lessons of the previous school year.
From needles, buttons, drinking glasses, to snuff bottles. Professor McGonagall took great pains to use this repetition to stabilize the shapeshifts that the young wizards had learned so hard.
"I think you all know the importance of deformation, gentlemen and young ladies." Professor McGonagall nodded at the little witches:
"It's both in life and . All have an irreplaceable role in conflict.
So when you complain that the Transfiguration class is always repeating and repeating, I want you to think about it.
One day in the future, when you want a comfortable reclining chair but can't find it, will you regret not following the advice of the professors when you went to school? ”
The young wizards didn't dare to squeak, and immediately after the professor finished speaking, they clenched their fists and chanted the transformation spell loudly, so as to prove that they did not want to regret it in the future.
Zhang Xiao's wand lit back and forth on the things in front of him, and the things on the table kept changing shapes.
These first-year classes are really not difficult, and even when they transform these small objects, they are close to the level of 'illumination'.
It's almost 'whatever he wants', so what he wants to practice more is to shorten the transformation time and transform the form, so that the weapon switch during combat is more smooth.
Professor McGonagall was of course consulted on this question, and after a moment of contemplation, the highly skilled professor gave the following answer:
"Zhang, I'm sorry, I may not be able to give you the advice you want. Transfiguration is undoubtedly a very esoteric course, and we can only teach very basic things.
And your question is actually every wizard who wants to develop in transfiguration, how to transform as he wants?
The answer is practice, and through a lot of practice to find that feeling, one day, you will have a flash of inspiration, and you will experience that wonderful feeling, and you will say, 'I see!' ’
I'm glad you had such doubts in your second year, which means that you are far beyond the level of ordinary wizards, and even in my club, many top students only have such doubts in the fourth or fifth grade.
I think I should think about whether or not to give you an invitation to the club in advance! ”
I understand, this is only a meaning that cannot be spoken, or Chinese condensation!
Of course, Zhang Xiao happily accepted the professor's invitation to the transformation club, because only in the professors' club, some things that are not taught in the classroom will be discussed and taught.
It's a bit of a 'law is not passed lightly'.
In addition, Zhang Xiao also plans to join Professor Flitwick's Charms Club, and nothing else is being considered for the time being.
Even with his talent, in the case of studying both East and West, he needs to invest a lot of time in his studies to deepen the cultivation of other courses.
After eating, it's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
After this class, Zhang Xiao was completely disappointed in Lockhart!
How could it be worse than Professor Quirrell's class!! Quirrell wanted to teach but didn't dare to teach seriously, so he still read the textbook and read the textbook.
What about Lockhart!
At first, he may have wanted to give the young wizards a good lesson, but after the failure of the previous class, he immediately gave up on the idea. I started to let myself go.
He actually asked the little wizard to accompany him in class to perform his own drama!
When it comes to choosing the roles of passers-by, admirers, and monsters, Goyle and Crabbe are chosen as trolls in Walking with Trolls, and Pancy Parkinson and Hannah are chosen as Muggle girls who are attracted to Lockhart.
Malfoy and Justin Finri had the misfortune of being passers-by.
In picking Lockhart's admirers, the professor showed his trademark smile and propped his hands on the podium:
"That's it! We need an admirer! That's a very important role! Lots of lines! So we need a very good little wizard to play this character! ”
Lockhart's eyes looked at Zhang Xiao, hoping that he could stand up on his own and volunteer to play the role of an admirer.
Zhang Xiao shuddered coldly, and immediately glared back mercilessly, what kind of bullshit admirer do you want me to try!
Lockhart's expression froze, and he retracted his gaze in disdain, as a star with infinite scenery in the wizarding world, he had a vague understanding of Zhang Xiao's energy.
After hesitating for a while, he finally chose Zabini, who was also good-looking, to play this admirer.
This class is extremely spicy.
Whether it is Brother Tug and Justin clapping desperately, or Zabini trembling with anger, gritting his teeth and reciting the lines:
"Ahh Great Lockhart, you are so dazzling! Like the sun in the sky, as your insignificant worshipper, I beg you to allow me to follow in your footsteps! ”
Except for a few little witches, the little wizards present almost threw up.
The trolls played by Crabbe and Goyle are remarkable, and the degree of restoration is extremely high.
When the lesson was finally over in Lockhart's reluctance, the little wizards rushed out of the classroom without looking back with their books.
Malfoy's face was pale, his hands were trembling slightly, and he looked a little red and swollen - clapping his hands.
He went directly to the school doctor's office and described it to Zhang Xiao like this:
"My hand is now like a myriad of needles pricking me, but even this pain can't compare to my disgust for Lockhart!
Dumbledore was such an old fool! How could you find such a person to be a professor! ”
Not only Malfoy, but many young wizards also thought that Lockhart was simply terrible, and Harry and Ron even thought that if Professor Quirrell didn't have a Voldemort on the back of his head, he would be a hundred times better than Lockhart!
Ron complained loudly, "He actually asked me to read fan letters aloud by reciting poetry!" Dear Gilderollo, vomit! ”
Zhang Xiao was also puzzled by this, is there really a curse in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class? But I clearly remember that I discussed this on the Internet, and it was a rumor in the original book.
However, thinking about the number of poor graduates of Hogwarts every year, it is immediately relieved that there are more than thirty graduates, and the wizarding world is not enough to digest it.
Coupled with Voldemort, many excellent wizards have died, and it is understandable that they can't find a suitable candidate for a while.
It doesn't matter to a student like himself and Hermione, and a talented player like Harry is not afraid, it's all self-study anyway, but it's just a pain for those little wizards
In astronomy class, Zhang Xiao looked at the astronomical telescope boredly, and by the way, there was only one herbal medicine class tomorrow morning.
But now there's a new course, and it's scheduled for Tuesday morning, and it's still a big class from the four houses together!
The emergency evacuation training course is finally here.
