Lockhart looked at the cage under the podium, missing the elves who were inside not long ago, and couldn't help but secretly hate that if Ani hadn't taken those Cornish elves away, he would still have something to say.
Little did they know that if this hadn't been the case, those little guys rated XXX level by the Ministry of Magic would have turned the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson into the biggest joke since the beginning of the school year at Hogwarts.
Thinking of the students' behavior when Ani entered the room, it made him even more jealous.
The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. The monkey-like little wizard was as obedient as a nest of quails. How could he look like he had so many problems when facing him?
Exhausted……
Ani sighed helplessly. Sure enough, after a summer vacation, those naughty children were all playing wildly.
During the theoretical lectures, it was normal. The class was quiet and no one acted like a monster.
But after the free practice began, most of the people in the classroom acted loosely and seemed unable to concentrate. However, Justin from Hufflepuff performed brilliantly and actually completed the transformation before Hermione.
"Very good, plus 5 points for Hufflepuff." Ani looked at Hermione strangely. This girl didn't seem to be in her best condition today.
"It's easy to turn a beetle into a button. As long as you can concentrate, it's not difficult to do it."
Aini took the opportunity to encourage the students, but unfortunately it had little effect. After all, he was just a kid of twelve or thirteen years old. After letting his heart fly for two months, no one could take it back with just one word.
In this mental state, the students' performance was naturally somewhat unsatisfactory.
For example, Susan Burns, the little girl clicked the magic wand in her hand again and again, but nothing changed until the beetle crawled around the table twice and fell to the ground.
In fact, her talent is not bad, but she always has trouble concentrating, especially after letting herself go for a summer vacation.
Transfiguration and Charms overlap in many ways, but the way they are cast is very different.
Not involving those difficult skills, beginners need three levels of guidance to cast spells, including spells, spell-casting postures, and spiritual direction.
The Transfiguration spell has no requirements on the casting posture, just use it as you like.
The so-called spell is just a mental suggestion. By shouting "Veravito", you tell yourself that you are about to transform.
The final transformation result relies entirely on spiritual guidance. Speaking of which, this subject is also the closest to the magic of "wishes come true".
Relatively speaking, casting magic spells does not require so much mental direction. After all, there are two other methods to assist.
Moreover, the magic spell has basic spells. You don't need to consider the shape and temperature of the flame. Without deliberate control, the magic flame will attack in a fixed way.
Of course, with more advanced skills, it is not impossible to control and change the spell.
And how can there be a fixed pattern for transfiguration? Isn’t it possible to change whatever you want with the finger of a magic wand?
Ron chased the beetle around with his wand, and his exaggerated movements made people almost think that he was stirring a pot of potion in Snape's class.
Harry had been elbowed three times by him. If it hadn't been for the interference from his friend, the boy might have succeeded.
Simo didn't cause any accidents today. He sat there quietly, as if the magic power in his body had been sealed by the summer vacation.
As for Dean's eyes...
Lavender secretly clenched her wand, vowing that if the other party dared to do something disgusting in public, she would cast a curse on him, but she didn't realize that the beetle on her desk had escaped.
Even Aini noticed something was wrong, that hungry look...
Could it be that this black guy has a special intention for the beetle?
"Last month my dad took me to Mexico. The bugs there are very delicious, such as the fried ones... I also bought some canned insects, but unfortunately I ate them all during the summer vacation. Some of those little things are very crispy, and some are very chewy. It’s refreshing and can burst with juice. Professor, you can..."
After Aini asked, Dean said excitedly and shared the dishes they tasted during their trip without reservation.
"Ugh~"
The sudden sound of retching beside him delayed the boy Laaini's plan to enter the water. Lavender covered his mouth and squatted on the ground, his face full of pain.
Ever since she tasted her best friend's friendly curry, the girl's digestive system has been a little sensitive.
Others also looked disgusted and silently soothed their churning stomachs.
Aini first summoned the natural breath to calm the minds of the little wizards, and then looked at Dean with a strange expression, "In order to avoid problems with the purchased materials, Professor Snape usually processes them himself."
"These beetles were borrowed from him. If you are willing, I can recommend you to help Professor Snape process the materials."
Speaking of which, Lian Aini pointed to the jar behind him, "He only needs the eyes of the beetle, and I can help you apply to exchange the bonus points for the processed bugs."
"Thank you Professor, I do!"
Dean's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the thought of those delicious foods made his mouth wet.
"Of course, the premise is that you have to turn them into buttons first."
In the second half of class, Dean transferred his passion for food to practice.
Other young wizards have also become more serious, and those pioneers who have successfully cast spells have taken the initiative to help students master the key points.
There is no way, if everyone cannot pass this class, then everyone will have to repeat today's lesson in the next class.
This is also the way Aini teaches, and class hours are not strictly deducted. If the progress is fast, then continue to teach new knowledge; if the progress is slow, then add one more lesson.
Except for Dean, no one in the classroom wanted to face those annoying bugs again.
But even so, one-third of the students still failed to complete the task.
In fact, this has greatly exceeded the progress of previous years. Among the children in the third grade now, there are only a few who can succeed after taking the first class last year.
At the end of class, Aini made an agreement with them that as long as they practiced well and all students were qualified before the next class, they would teach the next class and no longer let them play with bugs.
After the decision was announced, the little wizards were obviously relieved, except Dean who was a little reluctant.
After announcing the end of get out of class, Aini was the first to leave the classroom. At this time, the bell had not yet rang, and there was silence in the winding corridor.
"Aini, do you have time this afternoon?" The little witch followed from behind and asked sideways.
"There are no classes in the afternoon, but I want to go back and see Tom."
I stayed up late last night and had to be coaxed after I got back. Thinking of his little furry dumpling, the smile on Aini's face became a little softer.
"Can I go with you? I...my..."
Looking at the classmates following behind her, Hermione didn't want others to know about her problem, it was really embarrassing.
"Sure, if you don't have class in the afternoon." Of course Aini wouldn't leave the girl awkward, and agreed while she was still thinking about her words.
"Thank you, I really don't know what to do."
As soon as Hermione finished speaking, a dark shadow slid towards them.
Aini slapped his forehead and almost forgot about this.
