Since the details from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday afternoon were widely circulated, in the following days, there was only one topic inside and outside the castle, and that was Amosta Brain.
According to Ravenclaw's Cho Chang, after hearing about the levitation spell demonstrated by Professor Blaine at dinner that day, Professor Flitwick rushed directly into Professor Blaine's office without saying a word and stayed inside. It took four hours to get out.
Fred and George also confirmed the reliability of the news. It was after one o'clock in the middle of the night. They were venturing in the castle. When they walked past the third floor, they happened to meet Professor Flitwick dragging his tired body and panting. I left Professor Blaine's office with a satisfied smile on my rosy cheeks...
"Sa!"
Ron stood on the sofa in the lounge, controlling the goose feather that he pulled out from the sofa cushion, and kept making weird roars from his mouth.
"Let me show you my 'object-controlling spell'!"
As he spoke, he shook the repaired wand rapidly, just like Professor Braine did that day, pointing the wand in his hand straight at the sky. Then, everyone nearby saw the feather floating above Ron's head dangling, using gestures. The snail climbed up the ceiling at a speed that was not much faster, and finally disappeared in the gorgeous candlelight.
Harry sat holding the copy of "Flying with the Cannons" that Ron gave him during the Christmas holidays and hiccupped with joy after seeing this.
Ever since Professor Blaine repaired Ron's wand in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and gave Ron his first extra point this semester, Ron had completely forgotten that Professor Blaine used a magical alchemy tool to monitor everyone. The little wizard was unhappy and became his loyal fan.
To be honest, the stupid thing Ron is doing has happened many times in the castle. Malfoy once reviewed the levitating spell on a wooden stick in Transfiguration class, hoping that it would fly over and pierce Harry. eyes, and then he was deducted twenty points by the angry Professor McGonagall.
I have to say that Professor Blaine was really cool when he showed off his skills in class. Even Harry himself secretly gestured with his wand in the dormitory when no one was around.
"If I become as good as Professor Blaine!"
Ron jumped off the sofa cushions. He looked at the chandelier above his head and murmured in a sleepy tone,
"Hmph, let's see who dares to look down on me again... I will first use feathers to poke a thousand needle holes in Percy's butt, and then poke two big holes in Malfoy's face..."
"If you really want to do this, Ron--"
Hermione, who was lying on the table writing and drawing, said impatiently,
"Then you should sit down and study the spell model of this 'Object Control Spell' with me, instead of just gesticulating!"
"Oh, that's annoying, why can't you say something I can do, Hermione."
Ron, who fell from dream to reality, immediately showed dissatisfaction on his face.
"We're in trouble, Hermione!"
Harry blinked his green eyes and asked with a smile. He seemed to be happy every day without the secret room attack and Lockhart.
"It's more difficult than ever, Harry. You just can't imagine what Professor Blaine did to the Levitation Charm. To be honest, I even thought it was an after-school homework for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other. Since they met Hermione, this was the first time they heard Hermione express her dissatisfaction with the homework of a certain class so clearly.
"...it took me four whole days to figure out that the 'Kanri' in 'Kanredi Leviosa' is taken from the ancient rune, 'Kurirad Kanri'---Titan The blade, placed in this spell, means 'sharp' and 'indestructible'!"
"Ancient Runes...But, but, isn't that a course that only starts in the third grade..."
Neville, who was eavesdropping on the side, turned his head and said uneasily when he heard this.
"Well said, Neville!"
Hermione crossed her arms angrily, but her eyes were not sure to leave the parchment spread out on the table, the messy spell model drawn on it.
"The pronunciation of 'mu' is a ring structure in the levitating spell's spell model. Its function is to weaken the effect of the levitating spell by limiting the magic input. Therefore, Professor Brain canceled it!"
"That's what it means!"
Ron's eyes lit up and he moved closer to Hermione, pretending that he could understand the complicated spell model on the paper.
"Can you use the 'Object Controlling Curse'?!"
"It's not that simple, Ron!"
Hermione tapped the table with her wand.
"I just figured out Professor Brain's idea when he transformed this spell, but that doesn't mean I have the ability to use it... I don't have such strong magic control that I can control it well with increased magic input. A powerful combination spell composed of two parts cleverly grafted together!"
Harry, Ron, and Neville looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all suddenly felt that they had become lonely in the past two years of learning magic!
"Hermione..."
Looking at Hermione who was restless, Harry hesitated and comforted, "It doesn't matter even if you can't use it. You have always been the best among the first and second years. So far, no one can beat Brian." I figured out the professor’s ‘object-controlling spell’!”
"It doesn't matter if you don't use it...what are you talking about, Harry!"
Hermione stared at Harry in surprise, as if Harry had said something as shocking as being expelled from school, "This is our homework!"
"But--"
Neville's two chubby hands rubbed each other, looking even more uneasy, "Professor Brain's original words are---you can try to study this spell. If someone can succeed, I will give him two very..."
"Oh, Neville!" Hermione looked unhappy, "We can't be lazy just because there are loopholes in Professor Blaine's words!"
"Ignore her, Neville, our perfect lady has a great dream of becoming a 'saint'!"
The Weasley brothers, who had just been selling dung eggs in the crowd, walked over arm-in-arm, and brought their good friend Li Jordan, the Quidditch commentator who spoke in a hip-hop style.
Hermione immediately hugged a large pile of reference books on the table angrily, grabbed her research results, and walked to the girls' dormitory without looking back.
"You shouldn't piss her off--"
Ron looked at his two brothers and shrugged innocently, "You made Harry and I have to complete the Potions homework by ourselves-"
...........
"Oh, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Hermione was running too fast on the spiral staircase and accidentally knocked someone to the ground. The book in her arms also fell to the ground.
"No, it's okay!"
Ginny, whose face looked a little abnormal, tightly covered her bulging pockets. After getting up from the ground, she didn't care much about who bumped into her. She lowered her head and ran away quickly, leaving Hermione alone. Looking at Ginny's panicked back at the top of the stairs, she frowned.
In the dark dormitory, Parvati and Lavender were sitting on a bed, secretly giggling at Professor Lockhart's signed photo. After a while, the two of them began to discuss who was more handsome, Professor Blaine or Professor Lockhart. question, and which second grade witches have received love letters.
Hermione eavesdropped for a while, feeling bored.
The magic lamp at the bedside reflected Hermione's thin back on the wall opposite the bed. Hermione looked at the dark shadow on the wall quietly, recalling the Weasley brothers' joke and Ron's indifferent expression when he finally left. I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that the nights in early spring are colder than those in severe winter.
Hermione wrapped her cup tightly, her beautiful brown eyes covered with a thin layer of mist.
"The strong will always be lonely---"
Staring at the dim stars outside the window, these unreasonable words rippled in the heart of the lonely little witch...
