Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 427: The first meeting of the defense team

() "First of all, before I start to explain the actual content of Defence Against the Dark Arts, I want to ask you a small question..."

In the very center of the Room of Requirement, Maca stood in front of the group of cheerful little wizards, calmly and calmly began his first speech.

"...Yes, in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, we will use a lot of interesting and effective spells. And those spells, we will mostly learn in the spell class of Professor Flitwick, "He said loudly, "Yes, I have received the kind and pleasant teaching of Professor Flitwick, just like you all."

"Then, can anyone explain to everyone-Defence Against the Dark Arts class and the spells class, what is the biggest difference between the spells learned in these two courses?"

Hermione immediately raised her arm high before Maca's voice was finalized.

"Okay, Miss Granger--"

"When we learn spells in the spell class, the focus is on the spell itself; when we learn spells in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, the focus should be on practical applications!"

For Maca’s question, Hermione answered loudly and seemed to feel very confident about the question.

"Extremely correct," Maca smiled and nodded at her. "If this is a formal class, I think I should give Gryffindor some points—"

When he said this, many little wizards laughed, and the bunch of twin brothers in the Weasley family apparently laughed the loudest.

"I believe you have heard it too," Maca continued, "and now, the reason I was invited to everyone is to help you fill in the gap created by Umbridge’s incompetence..." Everyone When I heard this, I smiled more happily, "So, this is a Defence Against the Dark Arts class, not any other class."

"Therefore, I will not teach you something very theoretical. What we will always consider here is something that is more direct and effective... At the same time it is bound to have a certain degree of danger!"

At this point, the little wizards in front of Maca were all infected by his gradually becoming serious tone, and the smile on his face gradually cooled.

"...I think everyone must have felt it as Hogwarts grows year by year. There are all kinds of dangers around us. So I hope everyone will During the party, we must clearly remind ourselves-what we are doing is not entirely a class anymore, but a training for self-protection and protection!"

"Our goal is to allow ourselves to grow fully while sweating over and over again, so as to face the various difficulties we will encounter in life. And this process will definitely not be Relaxed and happy."

Seeing Maca speaking so solemnly, everyone was a little bit offended in their hearts. But the power of Maca is well known. When he changed from his usual indifferent and seriousness, even the most prickly student did not dare to say a word of nonsense.

"Okay, then, next, I will first teach you a very useful little spell--" Maca took out an ordinary wand from her waist and swung it at a constant speed with an extremely stable technique." Curse shadows."

When a simple spell ended, everyone found that nothing seemed to happen.

"This is a magic spell I created, and the effect is actually very boring, but it can help us to perform spell training more effectively--" Maca smiled and said, "I look forward to it-floating rise Empty!"

Just as he was talking, a floating curse appeared plainly, and a certain bookshelf on the opposite wall floated a few inches off the ground.

At first, everyone's eyes were attracted by the bookshelf. They thought that this floating spell would have a very amazing effect! But after a while, everyone did not notice any difference.

Well, apart from the unusually stable floating of the bookshelf, it is indeed just an ordinary floating spell.

"Not looking over there," Maca said, "Look over here, this way—"

At Maca's reminder, the little wizards turned their heads one after another, and then they all showed their doubts.

They all saw it—in front of the tip of Maca’s staff, there was a trace of bending and turning, emitting clear blue fluorescence.

"As Professor Flitwick often reminds us, in order to cast a spell correctly, you need to keep in mind three key elements-the singing of the spell, the waving of the wand and the clear imagination. And what I just showed That little spell allows us to cast a spell while making the trajectory of the tip of the stick clearly visible."

"The trajectory of the tip of the stick?" A student subconsciously repeated it.

"Yes, the trajectory of the tip of the rod!" Maca nodded, "Everyone should know that compared with transfiguration, the casting of spells is relatively free. Including the tone of the spell singing and the trajectory of the wand swing , Can be deformed to a certain extent, because the most important thing to cast a spell is'imagination'."

"But here today--especially in Defense of the Dark Arts, I want to tell you one thing," he said in a fairly certain tone, "every spell has its best singing standard. , And the best wand swing trajectory."

"...I remember Professor Flitwick once said that we should try our best to write down the successful swings and chants with our own bodies." Hermione couldn't help but say.

"Well," Maca smiled at her, "standardizing and optimizing each spell has two major advantages. First, it allows us to shorten the time for casting as much as possible; second, This is beneficial for us to carry out various follow-up'effective' training."

"In actual wizard duels, if your spell can be even a little bit faster than your opponent, it will also become a powerful advantage for you."

Maca said, lowering the bookshelf back to the ground, and then dispelling the Levitation Charm. But shortly afterwards, he cast the next Levitation Charm again.

When the two trajectory patterns were arranged side by side, everyone couldn't help but sigh softly—the two patterns were exactly the same without the slightest difference.

"Okay, that’s all about the wand swing trajectory in advance. Everyone can practice anytime and anywhere in the future. The mantra, counter-curse, and swing trajectory of that little spell, I will relate to other spells at the end The information will be sent to everyone at the same time. Next, we will immediately enter the first training content-"

"...Ma, uh...Professor McLean?" Hermione raised her hand suddenly.

"What's wrong, Miss Granger?" Maca asked.

"Will this be... too fast?" Hermione couldn't help but reminded, "As far as I know, the content just now is enough for us to practice for a long time..."

"I understand what you mean," Maca nodded. "However, we are not officially teaching. Obviously, the time everyone can gather here is not much. Therefore, we should cherish every Every second!"

He paused, then continued: "I know that just what I just talked about is almost equivalent to asking everyone to learn all the spells again. This task is very heavy. But I don't have it either. I want everyone to do it before we get together next time-it will inevitably be a long-term struggle!"

"For our training, it is a foundation. I believe that everyone present signed their names on the list according to their own will, and everyone has their own reasons. However, Since everyone has taken the initiative to stand here, I believe that everyone will do their best for this."

"Then next," Maca reorganized his thoughts and said again, "Our first training content is reaction ability training."

"It is undoubtedly very important to respond in a timely manner and calmly respond to emergencies. Depending on the actual situation, this may help you avoid a toe hitting you The rocks may also help you quickly counter the dark wizard’s sneak attack... and may even save you from seeing the smile of the **** of death!"

"So say--"

Maca has just said this, and hasn't seen him make any movements, but saw a large ceiling above the heads of the little wizards fall extremely abruptly.

A small group of students with keen senses immediately screamed and jumped to the side, but most of them only noticed the sudden change of the situation when the screams sounded.

When the ceiling was about to touch the tops of certain tall men, it suddenly stopped falling. Looking at the little wizards who were so scared to sit on the floor, Maca smiled and shrugged.

"If it was a real attack just now, you should understand what it will be like." He waved his hand and put the ceiling back on top. "Please don't relax, Voldemort is staring at everybody in the British magical world. An inch of land, no matter where we are, we need to be vigilant."

When he mentions the name Voldemort unabashedly~IndoMTL.com~Most of the little wizards have a tight face, and the student who sits on the floor quickly gets up.

"Just now, Miss Granger, Mr. Potter, the Weasley brothers, Miss Zhang, Miss Lovegood, and...Mr. Longbottom," Maca said every time he gave a name, his eyes would be corresponding The person paused for a while, "You did a great job, and you all made evasive actions in a very timely manner! Especially Fred and George, when you left directly under the ceiling, you also brought Ginny—I I have to say, you guys did a very beautiful job!"

"Oh—yes," Ginny, who just stood up from the floor, said slightly moved, "Thank you, George, Fred..."

"It's okay, it's a piece of cake!" Fred grinned.

"Yes, if mom knows that we can't protect you, we will be miserable!" George also laughed outrightly, "Also, I'm George, don't look at Fred and shout My name!"

"Don't listen to him!" Fred laughed, "I'm George, you know it!"
