On the Wednesday evening of the first week of school, Harry and Ron had just finished their respective dinners. They were standing at the exit of the dining hall, together with a bustling group of students from all grades, watching the sudden appearance on the wall of the auditorium door. Short notice.
That is undoubtedly the work of their new open magic class professor, Professor Anne! I saw two lines of messages crookedly written in magnified fluorescent magic letters on the wall: To all the teachers and students of the school, at nineteen o'clock tonight, the first lecture will be held in the largest classroom on the third floor of the main castle of Hogwarts. An open class on magic in the classroom! What will be taught are some tips for wandless spellcasting! No matter who you are, if you are interested, you can come and listen! ——Your Professor Anne Hastur!
"How's it going? Harry! How are you thinking about it? Are you planning to go? Anyway, I might want to take a look." Ron turned to ask Harry, who was standing aside, about this first open class. He is still very interested! Based on what Professor Anne wrote above, what she was going to talk about was actually the technique of casting spells without a wand! This is really important to Ron!
Because, until now in his second year, Ron is still using the old and worn-out wand. He doesn’t even know how old it is! There is nothing that can be done about it. The Velez family has so many children that they can almost form a family Quidditch team!
In addition, his family is not very well-off, and their income is basically borne by Mr. Velez, who works for the Ministry of Magic. And Ron is still the youngest boy in the Veles family, so almost everything he uses, including this wand, was eliminated by his brothers’ brothers’ brothers! Anyway, things that are used by many people in his family always end up being his turn! If you look closely at this wand, you can also find that it is cracked in some places. Even when Ron exerts too much force, he can clearly see the glowing core inside the wand!
Now, the main reason why it hasn't broken off on its own is because Ron has tied up the cracked area with several layers of tape! Just last school year, when Ron used it to cast a spell, it actually backfired on him! It was precisely because of this that he was laughed at by his old enemy Malfoy for so long!
But there was a huge opportunity right in front of Ron. Their new open class teacher actually wanted to teach wandless spellcasting! Merlin! When I first saw this news, among the teachers and students in the school, Ron was probably the happiest! Because, for him, this is simply giving him a pillow for sleepiness! He has been troubled by wand problems, and there really is no better news than this!
if! If Ron could learn to cast spells without a wand, could he throw away that damn tattered wand in his pocket? Ron has actually had enough of it! Forget it if your spellcasting often doesn’t work! The most annoying thing is that you never know when it will suddenly bite its owner again! If anyone uses it to fight an enemy on the battlefield, the one who dies first will definitely not be the enemy!
Ron had been thinking that his grades had never been very good. Was it because of it? Is it because of this damn broken wand? Otherwise, how could his own grades be worse than Harry's? Ron himself grew up in the wizarding world! It can't be worse than Harry who grew up in the Muggle world, right? ! It seems like this must be it! It's all this wand's fault! It's the culprit!
"It's not impossible to go! But, Ron, you should know that we still have a lot of homework to do! It adds up to at least twenty pages!" Harry was a little hesitant and couldn't make up his mind. What should he do in the evening? Don't want to go to class?
During Potions class this afternoon, he was scolded severely by Snape again! He's already used to it anyway, it's almost become a routine! But this time it was even more troublesome. He was also punished to copy a full ten pages of potion formula! That’s ten pages! How long will it take to copy?
If I have to attend a public magic class in the evening, what should I do with the homework due tomorrow morning? Then Snape might figure out how to manipulate him! If Harry dares not to hand in his homework, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it just by gossiping and scolding him! What will happen next is terrifying just thinking about it!
"Homework? That's right! But it should be fine! We can make up for it after we return to the lounge after class! No matter what, if we go to bed a little later tonight, we can definitely make it out! Let's go, Harry! Let's hurry up Click back to get ready, don't be late again!" Ron didn't wait for Harry to refuse again, and quickly pulled him and ran to the Gryffindor lounge! This is a class at nineteen o'clock in the evening, and there isn't much time left now. They need to go back to the lounge to pack some things.
"Hmph!" Among the onlookers, Malfoy looked at Harry and Ron running away and snorted disdainfully.
"Crabbe, Goyle! Are you going to attend the open class tonight?" Anyway, Malfoy was definitely going to attend the first class in the evening. This was his father's instruction!
Two nights ago, after the opening party, he wrote to his father, Lucius Malfoy, and truthfully conveyed the news announced by Dumbledore! Then, at breakfast the next morning, the reply that his father had written overnight arrived! In the letter, Old Malfoy told him many times that he must attend the class of the mysterious little girl! Absolutely can’t miss it!
As one of the few established nobles in the wizarding world, Hughes Malfoy certainly knows the importance of power to nobles! Only strength can preserve their rights, money and status! And chasing more powerful power is the principle of doing things for these veteran nobles! Otherwise, why do you think so many of them supported that madman Voldemort? Is it fun to cause trouble with a crazy person? That is just a manifestation of their pursuit of power and power! Because at that time Voldemort had what they had been longing for!
After the Gringotts Wizarding Bank incident last month, these veteran nobles quickly reached a consensus! They already have full confidence that the little girl named Anne will definitely be more powerful than the Voldemort they once expected! Even more terrifying! It is also more in line with their requirements! After all, a little girl is so malleable! Far beyond what that madman Voldemort could compare to!
In this case, it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with this mysterious little girl as soon as possible! They have actually wanted to do that for a long time! They had always known that the mysterious little girl lived in the home of the Muggle female student named Hermione! And the reason why they haven't dared to take action is just because they don't have a suitable and appropriate excuse to approach her!
But how could they have imagined that Dumbledore, that cunning bastard, would take the lead again! This powerful little girl has already been tricked into joining Hogwarts to teach and start classes! And these people couldn't even find a chance to make initial contact!
At this point, they had no choice but to admit defeat, and then hurriedly told their children at home who were still studying at Hogwarts, asking them not to miss any class of the mysterious little girl: Professor Anne! And regardless of whether you can understand it or not, you must take complete notes and send them back after class!
"Going to attend the class? It's better not to do it? I'm too tired today!" As soon as they heard that they were going to attend the class, Crabbe and Goyle expressed their displeasure on the spot!
When they want to come, when there are no classes in the evening, it should be time to rest. How beautiful it is to drink milk tea comfortably in the lounge, even if you eat a few more puddings to gain weight! Why do you have to go to class so hard? Besides, open classes don’t count into your grades! Then why listen to it? Why bother to make yourself miserable?
"I'm warning you now! Go to the classroom on the third floor right now and get a seat for me! Go now! Go right now! Otherwise!" Malfoy stared at the two idiots in front of him fiercely! He gritted his teeth, made a fierce look, took out his own wand, and pointed the wand tip faintly at the two of them. Did they really think that he was discussing with them? This is his order!
After seeing his two followers finally being scared to death and running to take their seats, Malfoy secretly spit in his heart! These two foodies! It's just like mud that can't hold up the wall! Are you not ready to take such an important course? It’s good for them to do this now!
...
Hermione also stood outside the crowd of onlookers and looked at the notices on the wall with a few familiar classmates. In fact, she already knew yesterday about Annie's open class today! After all, it was Hermione who helped Anne choose the classroom!
But what made her dumbfounded was that little Annie didn't even write down the house number of the classroom! There are two or three large classrooms on the third floor! What's the use of just writing like this? I’m afraid many people don’t know which one is the biggest, right? I hope those who want to attend classes are not in the wrong place! Hermione began to imagine the funny scenes of some students finding themselves in the wrong classroom.
Originally, Hermione planned to go and feed her little phoenix before grabbing a seat. However, after seeing so many students being so interested in the open class, Hermione thought about it and finally decided that she had to go and grab a seat early. The location is better! All she needs to do is take a book and put it on the spot first, and then go back to find her little Phoenix Jinx! Anyway, it must have gone to Professor Dumbledore's principal's office to look for Fawkes now! It shouldn’t be hungry enough for the time being!
"Hey~! Hermione! What do you think of this class? I guess you must be going to the class in a while, right?" A girl's voice sounded behind Hermione.
"Oh! It's Parvati! Of course! I will never miss any class." Hermione turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw the face of the classmate who was talking to her, and then looked at the other person's robe Then he started laughing.
This Parvati also has a twin sister in Ravenclaw, whose name seems to be Padma. These two twin girls look so much alike that sometimes even Hermione can't tell them apart. Fortunately, the robes of the four colleges are not the same, so Hermione can still rely on the college robes and college icons to distinguish them. Make a distinction. But if both girls were wearing plain clothes, I'm afraid there would be nothing she could do! When they first met, they would often dress exactly the same to tease her!
"Dear Hermione, is what is written on the wall true? Can anyone really cast spells without a wand? You must know some inside information, right? Tell me quickly!" Parvati As one of Hermione's best friends, he came up to her without any warning and whispered in Hermione's ear.
Anyway, everyone in Hogwarts school knows that Hermione has a close relationship with the new Professor Anne, and Padma also knows that Hermione helped Professor Anne choose the classroom yesterday. If you want to know about Professor Anne’s courses, If you want inside information, look no further than Hermione!
"Oh! Padma! You really are, okay! Pay attention and watch clearly! I will only show you once!" Hermione shook her head and looked helplessly at her best friend. After being unable to resist the other party's coquettishness, Hermione , had no choice but to stretch out a finger and point at a large book that had been placed on the table for a long time.
"Yingardium Leviosa!" As Hermione whispered the spell, the book slowly floated under Padma's surprised gaze!
At present, Hermione only knows how to cast the levitating spell without a wand, because it is too difficult for her to build a spell model or cause magical resonance! She is still far from reaching that step! Moreover, the wandless casting of this spell was only achieved with Annie's help and the use of some tips! No spells or gestures can be missing! Just can save the wand for now! Even so, it can be said to be a huge progress!
"Merlin's beard! Hermione! You! You can actually cast spells without a wand!?" Parvati looked at the textbook floating in mid-air and looked at Hermione in shock. "Then why do you still want to attend the class? Haven't you already learned everything?"
"There is no end to learning! Dear Parvati! Maybe you can gain something new by listening today? Okay, let's go! After a while, there will probably be no good seats!" Hermione stretched out her hand. He collected the floating books, then stepped forward and took his best friend Parvati's arm, dragging her directly out of the door.
Parvati was in a daze as Hermione pulled her to the big classroom on the third floor. As a low-achieving student, she could barely understand Hermione's world of academic masters! Now that you've learned how to cast spells without a wand, shouldn't you spend the extra time playing? Why did Hermione still study so hard?
Sure enough! Rome wasn't built in a day, and not just anyone can become a top student! She, Parvati, finally understood why Hermione was so easily ahead of them in terms of grades!
...
Time flies so fast, it’s almost nineteen o’clock! When Harry and Ron confidently walked into the door of the open magic class five minutes early, they were instantly shocked by the sea of people in front of them!
Based on their previous experience, no matter which class they took, it was more than enough to arrive five minutes early! That way, you don’t have to worry about being late and getting scolded, and you’ll definitely get a better seat! But how could they have imagined that the result in front of them would be like this?
What exactly is going on? Not only were there no seats, the crowd was so full that even the empty aisles were almost full! Some people even sat directly on the edge of the window! At first glance, it looks like there must be at least several hundred people, right?
Harry and Ron couldn't believe what they saw! Could it be that the entire Hogwarts teachers and students are here? Is it that exaggerated? It’s just a public class! Merlin! The two of them actually saw Dumbledore! Not only him, but a group of professors are also with him! These people also occupy the best first row seats in the classroom!
Seeing such a situation in front of them, Harry and Ron standing at the door were a little stunned! I don’t even know what to do! A large group of people in the classroom were staring at the two of them silently! Their eyes seemed to say, these two are the kind of poor students who are late and make the teacher angry!
This is so embarrassing! Under the gaze of everyone, Ron and Harry felt for a moment that it was neither progress nor retreat! If they had known that this was the case, they might not have dared to come, right?
"Oh! This turns out to be Harry! What a coincidence! Come on, come on! Come over here, I seem to have an extra spot here! Come on, kid!" Seeing Harry coming After that, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief, then gave up a seat next to him, and waved to Harry with a smile.
Sitting on the other side of him were Snape and Hermione. Dumbledore had been a little worried just now, fearing that Harry, the student he had pinned his hopes on and focused on training, would not come! The good position specially prepared for him finally paid off!
Of course, he only has one reserved position. As for Ron Velez? Please, stay somewhere cool! Do you still want me to give up my position to you? What a colorless thing! Where are you doing? Aren't you embarrassed?
"Professor Dumbledore? Uh, and Professor Snape, why are you all here to attend the lecture?" Harry was pulled to his seat by Dumbledore in a daze.
Ron on the side saw that no one was paying attention to him anymore, so he could only stand in the crowd of people in the aisle, feeling extremely aggrieved for a moment! Especially after seeing the two twin brothers in the third row of seats, I felt even more angry! Since they can sit in the third row, they must have arrived very early, right? Then why haven't they thought about taking a place for themselves? Am I still their younger brother?
"Harry, you have to know that there are too many unknowns in the magical world! Sometimes, the more we know, the more questions we will have! No matter when, some novel ideas will always give us Bringing new inspiration! It’s never wrong to listen more and see more! No one is born omniscient and omnipotent. We can only arm our minds through continuous learning and exploration. So, be sure not to be absent in the future Professor Anne's class! Don't be late!" Dumbledore replied to Harry with a smile.
Snape next to him glanced at the principal after hearing this, and said disdainfully: Old guy! If you want to steal some lessons, just say so! Why are you just talking nonsense about these useless principles? Why are you talking so high-sounding?
At the beginning, Snape was still very puzzled that Dumbledore occupied two front row seats! He only has one butt, so wouldn't he be ashamed to sit on two seats? So many students can only stand still! It's just that they dare not speak out because of his status as principal! But now when I look at it, I realize that this old guy was saved for the savior Potter!
In Snape's opinion, the old man Dumbledore is hypocritical! He is your student, aren't others? Why do you pamper him so much? The wings of the young eagle are hardened by fighting the wind and waves, and you cannot grow strong flowers in a greenhouse! If you dote on him so much, there will always be times when you regret it!
In fact, Snape's feelings towards Harry Potter, Lily's only son, were also very complicated, with both love and hate! Love is deep, hate is deep! Love because he is Lily's son! Hate because he is the son of a love rival! But love always outweighs hatred!
Because of this, Snape is usually so strict with Harry! I hope he can learn more useful knowledge and work hard to make him stronger! Don't make the same mistake as his mother! You know, Voldemort is not dead yet! Maybe one day he will come back to life again! By then, would Voldemort let him, the savior, go? He will never have another great mother to protect him with her own life!
The reason why Snape usually treats Potter with cold words is because he wants to spur him on in this way! Let him go further and faster! This is an alternative way for him to express his feelings! This may also be the reason why he failed so completely and miserably in his pursuit of Lily back then! Because Snape doesn't know how to express his emotions in a normal way!
