Xifa spent the entire noon in silence.
He is reflecting and adjusting himself.
In the afternoon there is Charms class.
Charms is taught by Brent Fergus, Elise's grandfather.
This energetic old man is also the headmaster of Ravenclaw House.
As expected, the first chapter of the textbook is about learning the levitation spell.
Xifa flipped through the textbook and felt that the content was roughly similar to the practical spells he had read.
These spells read as written are not difficult for Westerners at all.
All it takes is standard hand gestures, clear chanting of mantras, and a little bit of faith.
The strength of the spell changes depending on the amount of magic applied to the wand.
Xifa was very curious. He wanted to know why he gave up the wand. He mobilized the magic power, made gestures, and chanted, but nothing happened.
However, according to the knowledge he has gained so far, the most important thing is to learn the basics honestly and master the ability to protect yourself.
Skipping the classroom session where Professor Fergus explains how to cast the spell, time comes to the practical phase.
There was not much difference between the little wizards' performance in the Charms class and their overall performance in the morning's Transfiguration class.
It can even be said that the Charms class is more dangerous.
For this reason, this class was attended only by new students from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.
The maximum damage caused by the transformation spell is to cause it to explode.
And the levitation spell...
Sifa witnessed it with his own eyes, right next to him.
There is a young wizard from Gryffindor.
His spell did not cause the feathers to float slowly.
Instead, the feathers are shot towards the wooden blackboard ahead at super high speed.
Xifa took a closer look and found that only half of the tail feathers were exposed outside the blackboard.
The white dot in the black made Xifa break into a cold sweat.
If this feather shoots at other little wizards, I wonder if Dean Fergus can react in time...
In fear, Xifa let the feathers in front of him rise tremblingly.
Professor Fergus saw that Xifa was successful.
He was not stingy just because he was a student of his own college, and decisively added ten points to the first person who succeeded.
Then the successful Elise and Luna each added five points.
In this class, the three of them earned twenty points for the academy.
As get out of class is about to end, there are only a few successful little wizards.
Huh? Did Professor Dumbledore forget to give us extra points?
With some resentment.
Xifa left the Charms classroom.
Charms class didn't take up the entire afternoon.
In the afternoon, there will be the last course of the day - herbal medicine class.
The professor of Herbology is an affable middle-aged witch.
She always faces every little wizard with kind eyes and smile.
On the way to the Herbal Medicine class, Xifa learned the name of the Herbal Medicine professor from Elise.
Bernice Leslie, Head of House Hufflepuff.
The content recorded in the Herbal Medicine course textbook is included in the Basics of Potions.
Therefore, Xifa spent the entire class observing the actual herbs.
With the help of Elise, the rigid knowledge in the book can be used flexibly.
Herbology is the foundation of Potions.
But the potion mix isn't just about herbs.
For example, a potion to treat scabies requires dried nettles, ground snake teeth, porcupine, and boiled slugs with tentacles.
A Potions Master is basically a mobile encyclopedia of the wizarding world.
Even if Xifa insists on chewing the potion basics every night...
"...With my guidance and your abnormal learning speed, it is expected that you will not be able to try to brew the secret awakening potion until the Christmas holiday!"
Above, Elise’s evaluation of Xifa during dinner that night.
There is nothing wrong with the herbal medicine class. Even if the herbs in the first-year course are handled in the wrong way, there will be no serious consequences.
The ordinary herbal medicine class ended just like that.
After the three of them finished eating, they climbed back to the lounge from the stairs and arrived at Xifa's dormitory.
Three people gathered around a table.
Rushing to finish the homework left for today's class.
What? Where did the table and chairs come from? Then you have to ask Elise and Luna.
Even after one day of class.
Xifa did not relax before going to bed.
He gritted his teeth, took out the thick potion foundation, and started checking in for daily tasks.
Tuesday morning's class is Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The professor was a tall, thin man who was an old acquaintance. He was the one who showed off to the new students before the sorting ceremony.
Through his self-introduction, Cifer learned that his name was Galatea Mellorth.
Xifa admired the old man.
Not only has he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for many years, but he has also compiled the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks for all ages at Hogwarts.
In just the first class, he stated the teaching objectives for the first semester of first grade and also hinted at the contents of the phased tests for the first semester of first grade.
That is, young wizards must be able to master and use obstacle spells skillfully.
"In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the spells you learned are more difficult to cast than the spells learned in all other classes. It is the only ability to selflessly protect you after you walk out of the castle. Even if you can only practice it in class, you can practice it in private. You must also keep waving and practice! Practice! Practice again! Carve the waving action into your bones. Only in this way, when you are in danger, even if your mind goes blank, you will still be able to reflexively draw out the wand and release the spell!"
"So, in the first half of this year, you will practice successfully releasing the obstacle spell in various unexpected situations!"
Seeing no one objected, Professor Mellors stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
He began to teach formally, explaining how to release the obstacle spell more effectively.
'Many obstacles'
Professor Mellors asked everyone to come forward first, and he threw an obstacle spell on each person to let the little wizard feel the resistance of the spell.
Experience for yourself the effects of this spell.
Then began to popularize some dark creatures.
What evil goblins, common poisonous insects in the magic world, etc.
Then point out their weaknesses and how to protect themselves with barrier spells.
The whole class was vivid and vivid. All the little wizards sat upright and listened to Professor Melos' explanation with bright eyes.
Professor Mellors's many experiences have brought a lot of inspiration to Xifa.
After all, there is a difference between magical creatures and Muggle creatures.
He spoke for an hour and a half in one breath.
Professor Mellors picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, then announced that everyone would take out their wands for practical training.
"For the dark creatures I mentioned above, you can use obstacle spells to buy you time to resist. But! The biggest problem is whether the spell you cast can hit it, not whether your spell can be shot! You must know , they are all living creatures of darkness!”
Indeed, there is a difference between shooting an irregularly moving target and a fixed target.
In order to combat the little wizard's arrogance and calm down his mind, he only learned and practiced obstacle spells in the first half of the year.
Professor Mellors took out a quill from his pocket and turned it into a bird with a touch of his wand.
Judging from the shape, it looks like a hummingbird, Xifa thought in his mind.
Being so small makes it difficult to hit.
The bird spread its wings and flapped at a high frequency, flying around Professor Mellors.
"This is a bone-eating hummingbird. If you are pecked by its beak, your bones will feel pain like a knife."
"Of course, it's just non-toxic. But if it hits your head, you fail."
"Does anyone volunteer to challenge me first?"
Professor Mellors placed his gaze on Xifa vaguely.
The young wizard made a deep impression on himself at the beginning of the school year, and he was very optimistic about him.
