Chapter 46: Billy Wigg Worm (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Dealing with the Billy Wigg Worm is very simple, but it requires you to concentrate and be focused on your goals while chanting them, without the slightest negligence.
Keep in mind that the Billy Wigg Worm flies very fast, and it won't give you a second chance to chant a spell. β
After Professor Oren had finished talking about what needed attention, he continued, "Let's not practice the spell with our wand first, please recite it with meβForce!" β
"Loose and energetic!" The little wizards said in unison.
"Good." Professor Oren was satisfied, "The next step is to test the effects of your spells. β
He lined up the class and cast a spell on the cage Billy Wigg worm.
And at the top of the list is Connor.
She was originally in the middle of the group, but was soon surrounded by Gryffindor fans.
Ever since Professor Oren named them, the little lions had been trying to see what was so good about the little witch that she could conquer Snape.
"Brave girl." Professor Oron smiled, "I remember your name was Connor, right?" β
"Yes, Professor."
After the first two experiences, Connor's condition at this time is much better than before.
She was still nervous, but at least she was able to communicate normally now, and her first thought was to answer the professor's questions, rather than turn around and run.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a simple spell." Professor Oren said patiently: "Remember what I just said, concentrate, you can, believe in yourself." β
Connor took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stabbed her wand hard.
"Force, force loose!"
"Huh!" There was a sound of breaking air in the air.
Professor Oren, who was on the side, subconsciously took a small step back.
In all fairness, if you get close enough to get close, you don't need a spell to stab the Billy Wigg worm to death.
Fortunately, the results are still good.
As the spell ended, the caged Billy Wigg worm fell to the ground.
"Yes, Hufflepuff plus a point." Professor Oren said loudly, pulling out the second cage as he pulled out the second cage.
Yesterday, because of his lack of experience, he brought three Billy Wigg worms with him when he was teaching Ravenclaw and Slytherin House.
I thought it was enough, but it turned out to be completely insufficient, and sometimes the first one had not yet recovered, and the third one had already fallen down.
And every time at this time, the little wizards of the two academies would stare at him directly, not to mention how embarrassing the scene was.
In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, he brought ten of them in one go today, which is definitely enough.
"Next, it's your turn for Santos."
Santos, who was called by name, hurriedly stepped forward and began to chant the spell.
"Loose and ......"
Nothing happened, and the Billy Wigg worm in the cage was still happily spinning in circles.
"Relax, don't be so nervous." Professor Oren walked up to him and said softly, "The spell must be pronounced clearly, the last note is too soft, let's try again." β
Santos nodded, and stretched out his wand again.
"Loose and energetic!"
And this time it worked.
"Good, next ......" Professor Oren changed another cage.
The success of two people in a row has also made others a lot more confident, and they can't wait to give it a try.
However, also because of their overconfidence, some people completely forgot what Professor Oren had said before, and when it was their turn, they didn't even look at it, and just chanted the spell aloud into the cage.
The result of this is that the Billy Wigg worm has nothing to do, but the cage is falling apart.
Therefore, Professor Oren had to brace himself to make sure that he could restore the cages to their original state as soon as possible.
But soon, he found himself thinking things simple.
A new Gryffindor student at the back of the line saw that there were too many people in front of him, and began to whisper a spell there.
Originally, he just wanted to practice in advance, and then surprise everyone when it was his turn...... But he forgot that he was holding his wand.
Next to the podium, Professor Oren, who was reciting the Restoration Spell, suddenly felt his legs go limp, and the whole person collapsed to the ground in an instant.
If it's just a fall, it's nothing, Professor Oren is a strong adult wizard no matter what, at most he can just scratch a little skin, and a white fresh band-aid can solve it.
But the problem is, his repair spell was interrupted.
A Billy Wig worm broke out of the trap and angrily rushed at the young wizards in front of him.
It's been wanting to do this for a long time, it's been weakened since yesterday, and now it's going to take revenge!
Faced with this, some of the young wizards began to scurry around the classroom in panic, while others raised their wands.
"Loose and energetic!"
"Loose and energetic!"
β¦β¦
More than a dozen spells staggered, and although they didn't hit the Billy Wigg Worm, they managed to stop it from moving on......
At this moment, the little wizards seemed to have discovered a new continent, and they were even more excited, and raised their wands again, ready to hit the moving target again.
"Stop!" At this moment, Professor Oren, who was lying on the ground, suddenly shouted.
He pulled out his wand and shouted loudly as the Billy Wigg flew over his head.
"It's all petrified!"
Professor Oron reached out to catch the fallen Billy Wigg worm and put it back in its cage, then stood up tremblingly.
He rubbed his waist in some pain.
It's no wonder that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a chore, and there is a lot of truth to that.
Holding back the pain, Professor Oren looked at the little wizard with concern and asked, "Are you all alright, have you been stung?" β
"No, Professor." Everyone shook their heads.
"That's good." He breathed a sigh of relief, repaired the podium and said, "Then let's continue the class, right...... Except for the one who was in first place, everyone else put away their wands. β
Everybody did it.
Although they were a little unsatisfied, after seeing Professor Oren's angry appearance just now, they didn't dare to mess around again.
After all, no one wants the petrification spell to fall on them.
With this mentality, almost everyone can succeed the first time, and the progress is much faster than before.
However, Professor Oron didn't seem to be relaxed at all, on the contrary, he was even more nervous.
When it was time for class to end, he didn't even leave his homework and left the classroom without looking back.
This class really tired him enough, and he really didn't want to stay for a minute.
Back in the office, Oren closed the curtain and took a sip of black tea contentedly.
Anyway, it's finally over. Although there was an accident, fortunately, they were all under control, and all ten Billy Wigg worms were ...... Well?
Wait, there's only nine left!
Oron hurriedly threw down the teacup and counted it carefully twice.
That's right, one is missing.
There was a cage that was empty and had a fist-sized hole in it.
"Merlin's beard......" Oron hurried back to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, but he found nothing there.
"It must have been those newborn spells that hit the cage just now!"
Oron looked at the open window in the classroom and exclaimed, "Fifty Galleons, it's gone!" β
