The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 29 Oh, so naughty~

The next Charms class was different. The Charms class was taught by an unusually small wizard: Professor Flitwick, who was the dean of Ravenclaw College and was said to have goblin blood. Because of his proficiency in magic, he even won the duel competition when he was young. Due to his short stature, he had to stand on a stack of books during class to reach the desk. But this professor is also interesting. As the head of Ravenclaw House, he is very interested in Gryffindor's Harry Potter. Like Professor Snape, he said at the beginning of the first class , would take out the roster and call the roll, and when Harry's name was read, he even screamed with excitement, fell off his pile of books, and disappeared behind the table.

In the first Charms class, Professor Flitwick did not teach any particularly difficult spells. On the contrary, he first performed a few magic spells for the students, showing off his magic skills.

"Come on, everyone, look here!" Professor Flitwick took out his wand and clicked on the textbooks of the two classmates sitting in the front row. The two textbooks seemed to be given life, stood upright and jumped together. A ballroom dance. Then he came down from the podium and walked into the aisle,

"What's your name? Sophie Roper? Okay!" He stretched out his wand and tapped Sophie's quill, and the quill stood upright and automatically wrote Sophie's name on the parchment.

He then followed the same example and made the quills of several classmates do the same thing.

He walked up to Tom and said, "Tom Yoder, right?" He repeated his trick, but Tom's quill didn't respond at all. It lay obediently in the pencil case, acting like a normal quill.

A trace of surprise flashed across Professor Flitwick's face: "Oh? The magic immune quill is interesting! This is a good one. Cherish it."

Professor Flitwick walked away, but the pen did not attract his attention. After all, there are countless spells in the wizarding world that can make other magic ineffective. The property of these magic items is called "magic immunity." But it's not worth making a fuss about, because Flitwick himself has three or four such pens.

He walked around the audience, successfully aroused the attention of the little wizards, and then walked back to the podium.

"Okay, kids, let's start today's main lesson. As we all know, magic spells exist to facilitate wizards' lives and to facilitate wizards to cast spells. Ancient European wizards did not have spells. They learned from ancient runes. In order to understand the secrets of magic, the magic world at that time was very immature, and even wand learning was not systematic..."

Professor Flitwick gave everyone a brief introduction to the history of the wizarding world.

"So Professor, were wizards in ancient times much weaker than today?"

Someone had such a question.

"The overall strength is not as good as that of modern wizards. With the assistance of systematic spells and wands with perfect structures, modern wizards can perform more complex magic more easily. This actually weakens the impact of talent in learning magic. I'm sure that half of you couldn't even become wizards in ancient times. But the strength of ancient wizards was seriously polarized. The strength of ancient strong people is unimaginable to us. For example, Raven, one of the founders of Hogwarts Ms. Crow, the magic she exerted on the stairs has lasted for thousands of years and is still functioning the same way as it did thousands of years ago. I am amazed by this kind of power."

The development of magic is like the use of fire by Muggles. At first, it was just some lucky people who accidentally discovered that animals struck by lightning and cooked were delicious, and then they started making fire by drilling wood, flint, and so on. Later, with the development of science and technology, modern Muggles can easily light fires with matches and lighters. Can a person who uses a lighter really make fire by drilling wood? Not necessarily, but if a person who can drill wood to make fire is taught how to use a lighter, he will definitely be able to use a lighter to light a fire.

The same goes for magic. At first, magic was only in the hands of some lucky people and hybrids of magical animals and humans. Later, the runes were born. Some people can gain power by understanding the runes. Maybe some people have gained extremely powerful power, but Most people are mediocre. Perhaps a modern little wizard who has mastered the Restoration Charm, Iron Armor Charm, and Disarming Charm can dominate at that time. The wand is equivalent to a lighter. It was only after the birth of mature wand science that wizards and magic became popular.

"Okay, without further ado, today we are going to learn the Fire Curse. Mr. Yoder, do you know what the Fire Curse is?" Flitwick looked condescendingly at his students.

"Incendio" Tom stood up and answered the question.

"Correct!" Professor Flitwick gave Tom an appreciative look.

[Successfully answered Professor Flitwick’s question, magic stone +10]

Tom's eyes lit up: Ouch! Can you actually get magic stones by answering questions?

Before, he had only one way to obtain magic stones: daily tasks and achievements. The daily tasks are very simple, such as giving a glass of pumpkin juice to my roommate, taking a serious shower, eating three pieces of steak, etc. Unfortunately, there are only 4 such tasks per day. The disadvantage of achievement is that it is unstable. Tom feels that the determination of achievement is quite confusing. There is no certainty about what can be recognized as an achievement.

Now, he has finally opened up a new way to earn magic stones!

But there was currently one person blocking Tom's way of earning magic stones, and that was Hermione. She actually answered all the next few questions.

Oops, very annoying~

Hermione's behavior gave Tom a headache, so he decided to use a little trick.

"...This is the key point of the Fire Curse. You all need to write it down." Professor Flitwick ended the teaching with great satisfaction. From his perspective, the students were very motivated to learn, especially Hermione Grann. Jay and Tom Yoder were both rushing to answer the questions. Yoder looked uncomfortable as if he couldn't answer the question, as if he was about to cry: How easy it is to learn! What's even better is that they are both Ravenclaw students.

Of course, the little Gryffindor wizards who were in class with the Ravenclaw students were dumbfounded: Is there anyone in the world willing to answer questions?

Ron gave Harry a look: I already knew that witch was not a good person! It's a good thing she didn't come to Gryffindor.

Seeing that the students had memorized the key points of casting the Fire Spell, Professor Flitwick nodded and said, "Come on, students who are willing can come up to the stage to demonstrate. I can help you correct some problems..."

Hermione stood up from her chair. She wanted to go to the podium to show off her results - she was confident of releasing the spell. But her eyes suddenly went dark, and a figure had stood up and stood in front of her.

"Professor, let me do it." Tom moved and blocked Hermione's path.

Seeing two people standing up at the same time, Professor Flitwick smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, come on stage one by one."

"Okay!" Tom nodded, and then moved, moved, stuck Hermione all the way, and was the first to reach the podium.

"Hey, this wave is so naughty~" Tom felt extremely happy: I must be the first person to release the fire spell now!
