Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 56: 2 feet
Originally, Fred and George, who wanted to be the last dying struggle, failed to master the Descale Charm in one night. Of course, what made them give up completely was Albert's sentence: Filch wouldn't necessarily allow you to use magic.
The next day, in Charms class, Professor Flitwick checked everyone's practice, and compared to the Gryffindor students, few Hufflepuffs successfully mastered the Glowing Charm.
Professor Flitwick took five minutes to review what he had taught in the previous lesson, and then began to teach the anti-curse extinguishing mantra of the Illuminating Mantra.
"The Extinguishing Charm can not only be used to extinguish the glowing spell on a wand, it can also extinguish ordinary light sources." Professor Flitwick pointed to a candle on the table, picked up the wand and tapped it lightly. , "Knox."
The candle went out, as if someone reached out and put it out.
"As you can see, the quenching spell is Knox, which is also adapted to quench burning flames."
"Fluorescent flashes." After Professor Flitwick finished the spell, the tip of the wand lit up with a pale light, "Knox." After Professor Charms cast the spell again, the light on the wand disappeared again.
After Professor Flitwick had finished talking about the Extinguishing Charm in class, he left the rest of the time for everyone to practice the Charm.
"Fluorescent flashes... Knox." Albert succeeded after several attempts. In order to further verify the effect of the spell, he also changed himself into a candle, and after lighting it, he began to try to extinguish the flame on the candle.
"I also succeeded." Lee Jordan was in a good mood. After practicing for a dozen times, the spell successfully extinguished the light on the wand, and then learned Albert to extinguish the wax fire.
According to Professor Flitwick, extinguishing a raging fire is more difficult than extinguishing a glowing spell.
"I'm so angry!" Fred is still working hard to master the Luminous Charm, not just him, but some of the students in the class.
In the end, only three people managed to extinguish the light on the wand, Diggory of Hufflepuff being one of them.
Before the Charms class ended, Professor Flitwick gave everyone a new homework assignment to write a paper report on Lighting Charms and Extinguishing Charms. It needed to be at least two feet long, and it was due before class next Monday.
George murmured, "Two feet long, Professor Flitwick must be crazy!"
Writing a two-foot piece of parchment is a tough challenge for young wizards, who have basically never written a paper, and should say, have never touched a quill, even if they want to find a bunch of words to fill in It's not easy to fill two feet of parchment paper.
"Actually, this kind of dissertation report is very simple." Albert glanced at George with a strange expression, "You just need to copy the origin of the Lighting Spell and the Lights-Out Spell, and then write something about your study. If you encounter problems with the Luminous Mantra, go to the library to find some knowledge about it and copy it up, and finally write a summary report or something. It's almost two feet long to read.
In fact, Albert knew very well that Professor Flitwick didn't expect the freshman's first homework assignment to be good.
To put it bluntly, this paper is just to let everyone know more about the Illuminating Mantra and the Lights Out Mantra, and to deepen everyone's understanding and application of the mantra.
In a previous life, Albert wrote a lot of similar things when he was in college. Although it has been a long time, he still understands something.
"It's that simple?" Li Jordan's eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's that simple?" Arya glared at the other party and said sarcastically, "When you start writing, you realize it's not that simple. But thanks to Albert, now I know what to do. Something was written on that two-foot piece of parchment."
Halfway through, a discordant voice suddenly sounded while several people were discussing the homework for this spell class.
"Are you sure he's right?" a Hufflepuff student interjected oddly.
"At least, it sounds more reliable, doesn't it..." Fred and George looked at each other, walked to Hufflepuff's students, stretched their arms around the man's arm again and again and said, "Maybe, Albert has taken a little hint from Professor Flitwick."
"Let go of me." The Hufflepuff student struggled hard, but did not break free from the Weasley twins, and was held firmly by the two of them.
"Oh, alright, don't be nervous." Fred let go of the other party, reached out and patted his shoulder twice, watching the guy run into the Hufflepuff team, enduring He couldn't stop laughing complacently.
"Stop making trouble," Diggory warned the twins, glaring at him.
"We didn't do anything, Diggory. We just had a brief exchange with him." The twins put their arms around each other's shoulders. So nervous."
"Okay, let me go." Digory also looked helpless. Of course, he knew that the twins' friendly way of communicating was useless to him~IndoMTL.com~ But other people don't think so .
"He looks frightened by you guys." Lee Jordan couldn't help but mutter.
"Don't talk nonsense, we didn't scare him, be careful to sue you for slander." Fred and George looked like we didn't do anything, it was his own expression of scaring himself.
In fact, they really didn't do anything.
Albert was amused and suddenly wanted to laugh. However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the twins did. After all, they didn't do anything, and it was the other's misunderstanding.
"By the way, when will we have flying lessons?" Angelina asked suddenly.
"I don't know. It is said that the new Gryffindor students will be notified on the bulletin board in the lounge on Thursday afternoon when they have flying lessons." Fred thought for a while and added, "Charlie is recruiting recently. Backup players, if you like Quidditch, you can give it a try, backup players have the opportunity to touch broomsticks, but you need to rely on yourself to become a full-time player."
"When?" Angelina asked with bright eyes.
George said without hesitation: "This afternoon, you can go to the Quidditch pitch and chat with Charlie."
"You wouldn't really join the Quidditch team!" Arya looked at her roommate in surprise.
"Well, I want to try it."
"There will be another Transfiguration class later," Shanna whispered. "I hope Professor McGonagall will stop giving us homework."
However, everyone is destined to be disappointed.
Even if Professor McGonagall doesn't leave them with homework, they still have to continue practicing Transfiguration.
However, Professor McGonagall said that they will check their progress in turning the match into a needle next week. If the match still cannot be changed, it is estimated that someone is going to be unlucky.
