Chapter 511? Homework (Modified, Sincere Thanks to Leader Rong Wang)
That night, Allen left the tower in a happy mood and came to the deck to look out, enjoying the last night before arriving at Durmstrang College. The sea breeze at night kept his mind clear, and the sea water lapped against the side of the ship. The hull creaked and groaned, all of which sounded particularly wonderful to Allen's ears. Even the smell of the salty seawater seemed to have a romantic sentiment.
It wasn't until a wet owl rolled and fell in front of Allen that Allen came back to his senses from this rare comfortable and relaxing time.
Allen kindly used magic to dry the feathers of this poor owl. It was not easy to find himself on this moving ship in the North Sea. Thinking of this, he fed the owl a lot more For tuna meat, I only selected some good meat from the belly and fish chin for it.
After touching the little thing's head, Allen removed the letter from its leg and found that the envelope was sealed with his family's lacquer seal. If he didn't use a special spell to open the letter, it would be like a shouting letter - —After roaring, it self-destructs and burns.
Although it was a bit strange, Allen still took out his wand and prepared to unlock the fire seal. But when he pointed the wand at the paint seal, he hesitated for a moment. Alan felt that Luna's previous words were reasonable. So, he put the wand back into the device in his arm, switched to wandless casting and used the spell, and then unfolded the letter.
After browsing it quickly, Allen pondered for a moment, unfolded the letter again, read it carefully, and frowned. Allen held the parchment and walked back and forth on the deck a few times before sitting back at the table and writing a reply to his father.
He pulled over a piece of parchment, dipped the eagle feather quill into the ink, and just started writing when his right hand holding the quill stopped. He rubbed his temples with his knuckles, looking confused, and finally crumpled the parchment into a ball and pushed it to the side of the table.
After thinking for a while, he took the crumpled parchment back and tapped the letter with his wand. The parchment floated up, started to burn in the air from the lower right corner, turned into ashes, and scattered into the sea. Allen stood up a little melancholy and decided to think for a while before replying to his father.
The next day at Hogwarts, the class that Harry looked forward to the most was Defense Against the Dark Arts. Not only because he was quite talented in this subject, it was the only subject in which he could get an O among all his homework, but also because he was very talented in this subject. Because the professor of this subject is Lu Ping.
With this kind of expectation, even if he had to take a Potions class before Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it couldn't break Harry's good mood.
Professor Lupine likes to lead everyone in practical Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, and the papers he assigns are quite moderate in length, so his classes are widely loved by young wizards.
When Harry came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, a familiar wardrobe was placed against the wall in the classroom. As more and more people entered the classroom, the wardrobe shook violently and banged against the wall.
"Boggart?" Ron guessed strangely, "Did we learn how to deal with Boggart in third grade?"
There was a loud, impatient smacking of the lips from behind him, and it was Hermione. She got the news of Allen's attack from Mr. Harris and is now very angry.
"What are you smacking at us?" said Ron angrily.
"Nothing," Hermione said coldly.
"You just smacked your lips," Ron said. "I said I didn't know why I had to learn Boggart again, and then you—"
"Isn't that something you understand?" The superiority on Hermione's face made Ron even more angry.
"If you don't want to tell us, don't," Ron said angrily.
"Very well," Hermione said haughtily, before striding to the other end of the classroom.
"She actually doesn't know," Ron glared at Hermione's back angrily, and said after a moment of silence, "Ellen left, she has no friends anymore, she just wants me to talk to her again."
"I think you are overthinking, Ron." Harry blinked, "Obviously, Professor Lupin will not teach us how to deal with Boggarts again. It is very likely that we will deal with Boggarts that are not easy to find, but are very scary. Things. For example, he used Boggart to teach me how to use the Patronus Charm."
"Harry is right, we are going to learn the Patronus Charm in this class." Professor Lupine's voice came from behind Harry.
"Professor Lupin." Harry and Ron turned around at the same time and shouted in unison.
Professor Lupine kindly summoned the young wizards to gather around him, "The spell I will demonstrate and teach you in a moment is a very advanced magic that far exceeds the level of ordinary wizards. This spell is called the Patronus Charm. , its main function is to resist dementors. In addition, according to the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the Patronus Charm is also the only known magic that can expel the Voldemort Bat, known as the Living Shroud. A biological spell. In addition, if you have enough talent and advanced magic power, after you fully master this spell, it can also be used to deliver messages, so that your patron saint can deliver the words you want to say."
The little wizards became restless. They had long been envious that the little wizards in the training class had mastered this magic spell, and now they also had the opportunity to learn it.
The members of the training class are also very happy. Except for the lower grade members, almost all of them have mastered this magic spell. This can save time to learn other more advanced knowledge. The school's regular teaching content is increasingly unable to satisfy them.
"The Patronus is a positive force, and its incantation is-" Lupine cleared his throat, "Calling the Guardian!"
"Calling for protection," the young wizards repeated, imitating Lupin's accent, "Calling for protection."
"To recite this spell, you must focus all your thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, or when you have a strong will to protect it, the spell will take effect." Professor Lu Ping explained.
The little wizards racked their brains to think of moments that made them happy, waving their wands repeatedly to practice the spell.
When their pronunciation and movements were basically accurate, Professor Lupine asked Harry to walk to the middle of the classroom to demonstrate the spell for everyone.
Professor Lupine grabbed the handle of the creaking cabinet door and pulled it out. A dementor slowly emerged from the cabinet. The lights in the classroom flashed a few times, and a chill that penetrated the bone marrow enveloped the classroom. …
When the little wizards ate chocolate and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and came to the sun outside the castle, the feeling of exhaustion when facing the dementors was far away from them.
"Hermione and Harry both got ten points for Gryffindor, and we suddenly have twenty points." Neville said happily.
"But what I'm more worried about is if Professor Lupine uses the same criteria to judge Ravenclaw or Slytherin - almost all the members of that training class are in these two houses. If you can use the Patronus Charm, you can get If you want to add points... However, everyone in our college performed very well. No one was timid when facing the dementors, and they were not as embarrassed as those Hufflepuffs." Thinking of this, Ron was very happy with his performance. satisfy. Although he didn't feel the Patronus Spell, he felt that he was very brave. At least he didn't cry like Hannah Abbott, right? Ron was secretly proud.
"Did you see it? Professor Lupine complimented me on how cool I was at casting spells." Seamus shouted.
"Bang!!! If there hadn't been an explosion at the end." Dean imitated the loud noise caused by Seamus when he cast the spell.
The Gryffindors around him laughed. Although except for Harry and Hermione, Parvati Patil, the best performer among them, only cast a little white energy from the wand, but this did not prevent the somewhat terrifying and exciting Defense Against the Dark Arts course from becoming a favorite. A favorite course among the little lions who practice practical exercises.
Even Neville, who behaved badly as always, liked the class taught by Professor Lupin, who had a very kind and friendly attitude. Especially before taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he was beaten by Snape in the Potions class. After being tortured as a model again, Lupine, who was good at encouraging losers, became his idol in his eyes.
In the afternoon, under the violent storm, the little wizards ushered in the first game of the Hogwarts Quidditch season - Ravenclaw versus Hufflepuff.
"It's impossible for Hufflepuff to beat Ravenclaw," Ron curled his lips, "especially when Cedric has graduated."
"I guess they're going to lose at least two hundred points," George said.
"But if they defeat Ravenclaw..."
"It's impossible, Ravenclaw is too powerful, and Hufflepuff didn't even have time to complete the rebuilding."
As they said, Ravenclaw won without any suspense by a big score. In the wind and rain, the Hufflepuff players wearing light yellow uniforms left the field with their heads lowered.
Harry felt that what needed to be paid attention to was definitely not the result of this game. Ravenclaw's tactics and strategies in this game were strange and changeable. They seemed to be using Hufflepuff to test their daily training results, although They still look a little unfamiliar, but these Ravenclaws are constantly changing and using various professional tactics that can only be seen when wizards broadcast professional club Quidditch games on TV, and their players are also brave enough to try Various difficult individual movements. Harry felt that it would not be a big problem for Gryffindor to win against Hufflepuff, who now had no Cedric, but if they wanted to open such a big score like Ravenclaw, they could only keep using Only the style of play they are best at can do it.
After the game, Harry looked at Hermione who was talking to Ellen's sister Emily who was in Slytherin House. Harry was confused and surprised by Hermione's performance when watching the game with them today. UU reading www.uukanshu. net Hermione did read books on Quidditch when she was in first grade and memorized them all, but maybe it was because her flying talent was not as good as other courses when she took flying lessons. Hermione often cheers for herself and Alan from the sidelines, but in fact she is not too interested in the actual game. But what is surprising this time is that even Harry himself cannot compare to Hermione's Quidditch Tactical training.
The Ravenclaws showed some professional tactics. Although Harry and the others had heard of them and had seen them actually used in some games recently due to wizard TV broadcasts, he himself did not understand the principles behind them.
But during the game, Hermione was able to clearly explain the principles on the sidelines, and even predict their next arrangements in advance. With the performance of the Ravenclaws on the field, Harry felt that I learned a lot of knowledge that I couldn't find in books.
Thinking of this, Harry finally couldn't help but said to Hermione: "Hermione, how do you know so much about football?"
"My brother loves Quidditch so much, especially this year when he helped formulate the team's training plans and tactics after becoming the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, he always forced Hermione to watch the videos with him, no. She is not allowed to do her homework after watching it." Emily's voice came from behind Hermione: "Brother, that's not fair at all. If I want to watch TV, I have to finish my homework before I can watch it."
