Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

The house is always ready to grant requests.

Harry stood in the center of the training ground, while the others stood in front of him.

John was no exception.

After all, this is Harry's home turf, so we should give him the respect he deserves.

It would be better if the students could all ask Harry questions instead of coming to him.

"Uh, today we'll learn the Disarming Charm first. It's a very useful spell, the best choice when facing enemies."

Harry drew his wand and waved it, and the training mannequin in the corner slowly moved in front of everyone.

The dummy also has a fake magic wand in its hand.

"The incantation for the disarming spell is—Ex-pel-li-ar-mus, disarm you."

"When waving the wand, simply flick your wrist and palm lightly, like flicking a drop of water, and then point it at the enemy."

As he spoke, Harry demonstrated for everyone.

He swung his wand with remarkable speed and precision, and a burst of red light shot out, striking the dummy's wrist with pinpoint accuracy.

With a snap, the fake magic wand flew three meters away.

"Pay attention to the incantation spoken and the gestures used in the spell."

Harry was a little nervous at first, but as he gradually got into the zone, his voice became steady and his eyes showed more maturity.

As far as the students at the school are concerned, Harry's level is already among the best, especially in terms of practical spells.

In third grade, he learned the Patronus Charm. In fourth grade, he underwent Professor Moody's grueling training, passed three challenges, and then faced Voldemort.

"Now, let's practice in pairs, each of us finding a partner to practice with."

Harry addressed everyone again, and everyone naturally gathered together with those they were more familiar with.

John was naturally taken care of by Hermione, that goes without saying.

Titus, Ryan, and Ethan—they should just team up. I hit you, you hit him, he hits me—it's perfect.

Luna, on the other hand, was invited by Neville to practice together.

Cho Chang practiced with the boy she brought, I think his name was Cedric, the Quidditch Seeker from Titus's side.

"Mr. Merrick, don't let your guard down too much."

Hermione led John to a corner of the training ground, then raised an eyebrow at him and smiled.

"Quite confident, Miss Granger. I'll be watching."

The two exchanged a smile, each raising their wands in a dueling stance.

then.

"Flames are raging!"

"Except for you, Wu!!"

The two made their moves, and John thought Hermione would practice the disarming charm on him, just as Harry had taught him.

I was planning to cast a disarming spell on Hermione as well, and then directly knock her away with the disarming spell.

So you, with no sense of martial ethics, actually started with a fire spell?!

When he saw the sparks rise, John was no longer able to cast any spells and quickly raised an Ironclad Spell for defense.

Sparks crackled and flashed before his eyes, and the lingering sound of Hermione's mischievous laughter still echoed in his ears.

"Idiot, do you really think I'm stupid enough to fight you with the Disarming Spell?"

"You lack martial ethics!"

John forced the flames away and then turned to Hermione to accuse her.

"Alright, alright, then I'll just use the disarming spell, okay?"

Hermione was amused by John and waved her hand in resignation.

The two raised their wands again, Hermione's eyes filled with mischief, while John was on edge, fearing that Hermione might once again resort to unethical tactics.

Hermione noticed that John wasn't going to make the first move, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

This is the effect she wanted: to strike first.

"Disarm you!"

Hermione suddenly swung her wand at him, but John simply swung his wand to deflect the red light.

But Hermione seemed to have anticipated John's response. With a slight twirl of her wand, the second Disarming Charm shot out diagonally, its angle tricky, aiming straight for the inside of his wrist where he had just deflected the charm.

John was slightly startled, but he made a quick decision and simply turned around on the spot, following the movement of his wrist.

The disarming spell brushed past her sleeve; Hermione seemed surprised by John's quick reaction.

The next moment, John, having spun around, waved his wand and unleashed a disarming spell.

Hermione then came to her senses and quickly deflected John's spell.

But just as she deflected the red light, John's wrist sank, and the second disarming spell swept out diagonally from below—at the same tricky angle she had just used.

Hermione wanted to hide, but it was too late.

John's spell was much faster than hers.

The red light struck Hermione's wrist precisely, causing her wand to fly out of her hand, tracing a silver arc in the air before landing steadily in John's hand.

She staggered back half a step, paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "You deliberately used my trick against me, didn't you?"

"I admit it~"

John chuckled and deftly twirled the wand between his fingers before handing it to Hermione.

Hermione gave a soft snort, took back her wand, and then assumed her stance again.

"Again!"

"I'm available anytime."

The two practiced disarming each other back and forth.

Hermione would also occasionally break with martial ethics and use a different spell to ambush him.

This forced him to stay fully alert to deal with the situation.

Harry, who was surveying the entire training ground from the center, smiled slightly as he watched this scene.

Sure enough, they didn't need him to teach them...

Harry then went to instruct the students who were not yet proficient in the Disarming Charm.

Although the older students hadn't learned the Disarming Spell much, they had a solid foundation and could grasp the basics with a little guidance.

Younger students, on the other hand, made frequent mistakes. Some waved their wands too slowly, resulting in weak and ineffective spells; others mispronounced the words, causing the red light to dissipate into sparks as soon as it left the tip of the wand.

Harry went straight to a third-year badger, grabbed his wrist, and helped him correct his movements.

Then with a flick of his wrist, the student opposite the badger was sent flying.

The little badger's eyes widened. "Isn't the disarming spell we learned?"

Your spell, my spell, seem to be different.

From then on, another person appeared who used the disarming spell as a killing move.

Training continues in full swing.

One morning is enough for everyone to master the basics, and most people will be able to cast the disarming spell.

It's just that my skill level still needs to be honed.

Therefore, the first training session was quite effective.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

The morning passed quickly, and at lunchtime, Harry gathered everyone together again.

"After you go back, everyone can practice diligently. The disarming spell will be one of your most reliable defensive measures when facing danger in the future."

Harry was now fully engaged and could openly offer advice and expectations for adults.

It was my first time being a teacher, and I did a pretty good job.

After that, everyone dispersed.

This training camp brought together many classmates who didn't know each other before, but now they are leaving in groups of three or five.

It's clear that everyone gets along quite well.

When leaving, Hermione didn't go with John because she needed to go back to her dorm to put her bag away.

So John followed Titus and the others to the Great Hall.

Hey, John.

Just as they left the Room of Requirement, Cho Chang suddenly approached him with Cedric and struck up a conversation.

"Hmm? Senior Qiu Zhang, and..."

"Hello, Merrick, I'm Cedric Diggory, nice to meet you."
