Harry didn't fully understand what the black Patronus represented, but this strange magic made him think deeply all night long.
Compared to other first-year wizards, Harry obviously thinks more.
Especially the last two sentences of Grindelwald, although the sound was not loud, he could hear them clearly sitting in the front row.
'Someone needs to step into the darkness to guard the light. ''time is limited. '
These two sentences alone revealed a lot of information that Harry needed to think about. After thinking about it a little more deeply, he could easily come up with the answer that the wizarding world was about to face some kind of war.
"Hopefully this is just my imagination."
Although there are many questions that cannot be answered, thinking too much at this moment can only increase his worries. He turned over and covered his yawn, closing his eyes while it was still dark, even a short nap would be enough. Restored a lot of energy.
After ordering a cup of espresso in the kitchen, Harry, who was very energetic, stepped onto the fourth floor of the castle. The Charms classroom was already full of people. This class was with Gryffindor. Compared to the silence in the Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, the Charms class seemed much more relaxed and cheerful.
The little Professor Flitwick stepped on a tall pile of books so that he could have a good view of all the students. There were still a few minutes before the start of class. Professor Flitwick, who had no airs at all, gently Waving his fingers, he summoned many little magic tricks and attracted the attention of many little wizards.
"Sorry I'm late, Professor."
Harry paused at the door of the classroom, then walked to Flitwick and spoke softly.
"No need to apologize, kid, there's no class yet." Professor Flitwick replied with a smile. He glanced at the scar on Harry's forehead, and then winked at him, "Go find an empty seat, we'll be there soon It’s about to begin.”
As the class bell rang, Professor Flitwick simply called his name, but after class started, his expression became more serious, which made the little wizards sit down obediently and no longer played as playfully as before.
"Welcome to Hogwarts and my Charms class. I believe that everyone here is very interested in magic."
With a flick of his finger, a neatly floating line of blackboard writing appeared on the blackboard.
"In my opinion, the prerequisite for a qualified wizard is to be able to use magic skillfully."
"Our lives, our jobs, everything about us, as wizards, our world cannot be separated from the company of magic, and magic spells are the most important part of magic."
"Transfiguration is very powerful, and potions and herbalism are also very important subjects, but compared to the magic spells that have penetrated into every corner of wizards' lives, they cannot become the pillars that support the magical world."
"In my class, I will teach you step by step how to become a qualified wizard, how to use magic spells to change your life, and make it a good helper for you throughout your life."
"Before starting the formal course, I need you to remember this sentence: 'If you don't want your life to become a mess, then don't be careless when using spells'."
"Of course, before we start learning our first spell, the first thing we need to do is get to know the companions who will be with us throughout our lives."
"Everyone, please take out your wands and put them on the table."
As soon as they heard this, the little wizards immediately became energetic. Although they had taken out their wands in the Transfiguration class, the difficult Transfiguration seemed to be mocking their overestimation. The little trick of turning a match into a needle could be completed. There are only a handful of people, and most of them can't even make slight changes to the matchsticks.
There was a messy sound, and the little wizards took out their wands from various places. Some people pulled out their flintlock guns from behind their butts, and some people took out their own dicks from in front of their buttocks. The messy scene gave Professor Flitwick a headache. Although he saw this scene every year, he still couldn't accept it.
"Please don't try to stick the wand behind your butt, especially those of you whose magic power fluctuations have not been completely stabilized. Maybe you are only one strong mood swing away from your butt blooming. Of course, hiding it in front of your butt will not work, as the result will be even worse. .”
"Fourteen years ago, Peeves successfully sneaked into the kitchen and mixed something strange into the soup for lunch. That afternoon, the bathroom at Hogwarts was completely full. Maybe someone has experienced this. That helpless feeling of being extremely anxious but having to wait?”
Flitwick told a little story that aroused the interest of the young wizards. Everyone listened carefully and wondered what happened fourteen years ago.
"During the waiting moment of competing for willpower, anxious and urgent emotions will continue to accumulate, and this strong emotion will cause the magic power to fluctuate erratically, especially for young wizards like eleven, twelve or three years old who have just entered the stable period of magic power. For me, that was the beginning of a nightmare.”
"On that afternoon, some unlucky children experienced large fluctuations in magic power due to this reason, and the wand, which was an extension of our limbs, misfired at that time."
"Every shot that went off, and I mean every little wizard with a wand stuck in the back of their ass learned an impressive lesson that afternoon."
"Oh - uh..." The little wizards who had already imagined the tragic scene frowned in disgust. This tasteful story made many people cover their butts subconsciously.
"Of course, the more unlucky ones are the ones with the magic wand stuck in front of their buttocks. Those unlucky kids stayed in the school hospital for half a month in order to heal their psychological trauma."
"Hiss~"
There was a gasp of cold air, especially from the boys who were hiding their weapons in front of them. Their pale faces said everything.
"The wand is an extension of the wizard's limbs. Using your wand correctly is the first skill that every qualified wizard needs to master."
"Mr. Potter, can you please come and demonstrate it to everyone?"
Professor Flitwick called Harry's name without hesitation. Thanks to Mr. Ollivander's advice, Harry completed Professor Flitwick's first lesson perfectly without knowing it.
"A very sophisticated enchanted alchemy holster, which is best suited for storing wands in the form of pistols. It comes from Ollivander's Wand Shop, right? The holster they designed can perfectly prevent misfires caused by emotional fluctuations, and is especially suitable for A young wizard whose magic power has never been completely stable."
After Harry stood up and lifted up his robes at Flitwick's signal, revealing the holster on his waist, Flitwick pointed at it and introduced it to everyone.
"I think everyone should prepare one. You don't have to choose Ollivander's. Whether it's Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade Village, there are shops selling such storage devices. The price is very cheap. Generally, they won't. More than a Sickle.”
"Of course, if possible, Ollivander's fine enchanted alchemy holster is the first choice. If anyone can get an O (excellent) grade in the Charms course at the end of this school year, I will give it to everyone as a reward. A classmate who studies seriously."
A low cheer rang out. For a master of magic who can feed one person and keep the whole family from hungry, such a small reward does not cost much, but it can greatly increase the students' enthusiasm for learning, not to mention, This reward can also be reimbursed by Hogwarts. Dumbledore is a very generous principal.
"Now then." Professor Flitwick snapped his fingers to signal everyone to focus, "The next thing we have to learn is to recognize the wand in our hands."
"Perhaps some people already know that our wands have many different forms, and each form has its own different characteristics. Now, who of the students in our class has completed the first form change of the wand and raised his hand? Let’s show it to everyone.”
Eight or nine hands were raised sparsely. As Ollivander said, under normal circumstances, after a wizard gets his wand, it takes a certain amount of time to activate the first deformation of the wand. Very few people can complete a wand within a month of getting it, let alone activate it on the first touch.
"Students whose wand has not changed, don't be discouraged. It takes a certain amount of time for the wand to get used to the wizard. This is a stage that every wizard will go through."
"The initial form of the wand is the same, that is, the form of a flintlock gun. At this stage, because the wand has not been fully broken in, the wizard will be subject to certain restrictions when casting spells. For example, the frequency of casting spells will be relatively low. Low, generally the interval between two spells will be about three seconds, but this will not affect your daily contact. This flaw will only be amplified during a duel."
"Although the speed at which the flintlock gun gathers magic power is a little slower, it is more stable. When a spell fails, its own safety mechanism will reduce the consequences of casting errors. This is a great aid for novice wizards. Of course, don’t try it deliberately, otherwise it will be difficult to clean your face if it gets blackened.”
"And the first upgrade of the wand will inevitably be the most commonly used and widely used form among wizards, the pistol form."
Professor Flitwick finally had his hands empty, and he didn't see any big movements. He just flicked his wrist slightly, and a revolver that was smaller and fit the size of his hand was revealed. It was the same as Grindelwald's Browning M1935. This extremely luxurious revolver is simply a collectible that should not be used. The translucent gun body seems to be carved from flawless gems, revealing a charming deep blue, which is even more brilliant and flawless than the Heart of the Ocean. blue.
It took a lot of effort for Harry to identify the model of this overly luxurious revolver. If he recognized it correctly, the revolver held by the petite Professor Flitwick was a huge killer that was completely opposite to his stature. weapon, a Smith & Wesson M500 revolver that can be loaded with 12.7 mm caliber pistol ammunition and a round that can crush an elephant's skull.
When this violent killing weapon, known as a 'real man', was grasped by Flitwick's slender palm, Harry had no sudden feeling at all, as if it should be like this, should be like this.
"After completing the change of pistol form, there is no longer a very rigid standard for the interval between casting spells, unless the form of your wand's changing form itself has certain restrictions. Some wands can fire spells better than other wands. It's more powerful, thanks to the changing form, but the price may be reduced accuracy or longer spell intervals."
"The best casting range of a wand in the form of a pistol is roughly within fifty meters. Within this distance, as long as you aim accurately, the spell can hit accurately without much loss of power, and this form of wand It’s easy to store and perfect for quick pull out in an emergency.”
"And when you have further control over your own magic power and have a better run-in with the wand, the advancement of the second form will appear."
"Here, there are generally two branches. One is a duel-oriented submachine gun that can cast spells faster at the expense of a certain amount of magic power. The other is a shotgun that shortens the range and greatly increases the range of magic and instantaneous explosive power. form."
"Both branches can be mastered. This is also a commonly used wand upgrade. Generally speaking, the shotgun form is more suitable for the release of transformation. The shotgun form will be more efficient for large-scale terrain changes."
"After the basic form change, the wand will have advanced advancements that are relatively difficult to master. They are: an assault rifle that improves the accuracy, range, and power of spells, and a further machine gun form; which greatly improves the accuracy, range, and power of spells. Precision rifles with range and power and advanced sniper rifle forms, as well as shotgun advancements with longer range, higher accuracy, wider range, and more powerful grenade launcher and rocket launcher forms.”
Every time Professor Flitwick spoke about a wand's transformed form, the wand in his hand would change accordingly. What surprised Harry was that, as the champion of wizard duels several times in a row, he seemed to be a man without any An all-rounder with shortcomings, the appearance of each of the changed firearms is extremely luxurious. Professor Flitwick with all the crystal skins looks like some kind of krypton gold player. The full set of Heart of the Ocean limited edition legendary skins is available. What stands out is A gorgeous one.
The meaning behind this gorgeousness seems to be self-evident. The reality is not a simple krypton gold game. After the gorgeous performance, there must be extraordinary significance.
Harry raised his hand, a little impatient. He had long wanted to ask what the skin was used for.
"Professor, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, Mr. Potter." Flitwick nodded and said with a smile.
"Professor, why are your wands so different from ours? Whether it's Professor McGonagall, Professor Grindelwald or you, your wands are completely unique works of art."
Although the cold metallic feel is Harry's favorite color, if he can get the skin, Harry will never miss it.
"That's what I'm going to tell you next."
Professor Flitwick nodded slightly, then shook the crystal revolver in his hand.
"As you become more familiar with and understand the wand form, your wand will also grow with your progress. The exquisiteness of the wand form represents the degree to which you master this form of wand."
"From the appearance of simple patterns and color changes until you grow it into a unique wand form that is unique to you, even if your spellcasting ability does not improve at all, your spells will be deepened due to the changes in the wand. "
"It's also a lighting spell." Professor Flitwick raised the M500, which suddenly turned into a silvery metallic color, and pulled the trigger against the ceiling. "Fluorescence flashes."
A ball of light the size of a fist floated out of the muzzle of the gun. Along with it, the classroom curtains changed. The curtains were automatically closed to block the bright sunlight outside.
The light emitted by the fist-sized light ball illuminated an area of about five meters, and outside the area, the light began to dim.
"If I use the Lighting Spell with the same magic power, but in this form... it will fluoresce."
The revolver, which was covered with crystal skin again, was triggered once again.
A brilliant band of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun. The freely manipulated light was arbitrarily kneaded under Professor Flitwick's will. Sometimes it would emit light and illuminate the entire classroom, and sometimes it would turn into colorful light rain and fall from the ceiling. This The magic that is supposed to be the same as the light spell has been strengthened to an epic level after changing the wand skin. The first appearance of the krypton gold boss instantly stole the hearts of many leopard-headed players.
This huge difference left a deep impression on every little wizard. Even if what they saw was just the most basic little magic 'Light Spell', the shock was not diminished at all.
The little wizards stretched out their hands to catch the light rain falling from the ceiling, but at this moment, the closed curtains were opened.
"I think you are already eager to try it, right?" Professor Flitwick said briskly, "Now turn your books to the first page. There is still half an hour. Let's practice this spell together."
"Put down your wand and say it with me."
"Fluorescence."
The little wizards quickly sat down, and then followed Flitwick in reciting the familiar spell in a precise manner.
The door to the magical world opened silently, and the light spell that emitted a faint light also illuminated the way forward for them in this silence.
