Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 233 The Lady of Ravenclaw
"This is really...unbelievable!"

Harry next to him praised again and again.

Ron bent down and pushed out a handful of green grass, soil, and the fragrance of grass and trees wafted in the wind.

"Okay, then let's start the next lesson!"

Ms Gray said quietly.

Floating above the original podium (only this podium was still standing), she borrowed "Standard Spells: Elementary" from Hermione, touched it lightly to the ancient bronze book, and a red light flashed——the book was copied exactly.

"Oh, it turns out that the spell...is the current spell like this?" Ms. Gray said, turning the pages of the book.

"Then let's start with the simplest and most basic [Levitation Spell]!...Let me see how well you know this spell..."

"After all, only this spell hasn't changed much over the years..."

Harry, and Ron looked at McGuffin together. They knew that the level of mastery of this spell by McGuffin surpassed that of many adult wizards.

"Let me just say it! Why should I learn a spell that I have already learned? You might as well let us read the textbook by ourselves!...The old-fashioned teaching method will only lead people astray!" Malfoy retorted instinctively.

He thought it was some novel teaching method—that’s it?
But this time it was obvious that Ms. Gray was much more confident, and there was even a hint of mischief on her translucent face.

"That's right, we already have a little wizard who thinks he has mastered this simple spell, so do any other little wizards still think so!"

There was a certain subtlety in her words, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

But there were still some Slytherins, and even some little Ravenclaw wizards who stood up together with arrogance.

"Okay, not bad!"

"Then, let us measure your mastery of this spell and see if you confident little wizards can pass the test of the four founders of Hogwarts!"

"what? What!"

The jaws of the little wizards almost dropped in fright.

Ms. Gray ignored it and tapped on the cover of the book (I don't know when the book has returned to its original state).

The bronze mats in the original classroom space suddenly appeared on the lawn. They were like bricks... moving one by one on the lawn to form a one-and-a-half-meter-wide long bronze path.

Ms. Gray motioned for Malfoy to stand on top of that.

Although Malfoy probably had a bad heart, but when things were like this... he could only walk up stiffly with his face shrugged.

With a loud rumble from the sky, a huge translucent phantom of the giant Salazar Slytherin appeared above their heads.

The tip of Malfoy's wand began to glow slightly, and a flash of light illuminated the passage on the other side.

Salazar Slytherin was there.

The translucent body is like a ghost, but it is not that pearly white color, but slightly bronze in color.

"Okay, let's start! Remember, little wizard, you can only use one spell... that is [Levitation Curse], and the afterimage of Slytherin will only use this spell!"

Ms. Gray would restore the book to its original style, flipping it open with her fingers, and as the fingertips turned, lines of letters began to form in the air, and then engraved on the book.

That's the incantation of [Levitation Curse]...it's engraved on it.

"Come and let me see how the little Slytherin wizard is doing now! Does he just talk big..."

Now McGuffin has discovered that the ghost of Ms. Gray is bad, bad.

He has to be careful.

With the translucent afterimage of Salazar Slytherin raising his wand over his shoulders, he faced Malfoy in a dueling stance.

Malfoy also had to start facing each other with this etiquette (they had already held a dueling tournament at Hogwarts last semester).

At the same time, in the middle of the bronze slate stand, there appeared two hourglass phantoms wrapped around snakes, and as they slowly turned upside down, the sand began to flow.

Malfoy knew it was time to start.

But before he finished reciting the [Levitation Curse] spell, Slytherin had already cast the spell. (It is not silent, the same mantra is chanted aloud, but it is very concise, fluent, clearly audible, and full of magical explosions)
Decora Malfoy began to tumbling in the air, like clothes in a drum washing machine, spinning 360 degrees straight into the sky, turning into a small black dot, and then dashed down, barely stopping a foot from the ground.

Finally - Boom! , hitting the ground.

Face to the ground!
I have never seen Malfoy's face like this before, his pale face completely became the color of the lawn.

green!
Goyle and Crabbe hurriedly pushed away the other little wizards surrounding them and ran to them.

At this moment, Malfoy was already dizzy and unable to get up. Even with the support of two people, it was as if his stomach was full of strong alcohol. His legs were shaking and limp, like a jumping rope, like boiled noodles... He couldn't support his body at all, and he kept slipping down.

Seeing such a tragedy.

The little wizards backed away subconsciously and gathered together, saying that they didn't want to try again.

"Who among you thinks that you have fully mastered it, you can also give it a try. If you pass the test of the Big Four, you can get their reward!"

After silence, no one answered.

The class continued, only Malfoy was pitiful, and the miserable sound of retching kept coming.

"Okay, the first question I have to ask you is...was the founder Salazar Slytherin showing you the [Levitation Curse] just now?"

Seeing the puzzled wonder of the little wizards, Ms. Gray then said calmly, "Okay! Or to put it another way...he did it like this! Through such a basic and simple [Levitation Curse], our little wizards can experience the joy of flying!"

The corners of the little wizards' mouths twitched as they watched Malfoy's miserable appearance... Immediately straightened up, pretending to listen carefully.

They found a bronze cushion and made it.

(The bronze long road has been scattered and turned into a cushion again)
Hermione raised her hand.

"The essence of a spell is to cast a spell through magic power, to change the state or nature of the original thing according to the wizard's own will..."

"[Levitation Curse] itself is the most basic way of casting spells, which comes from the ancient wizard's original desire... the desire to fly."

"After changing the running state of objects like this...the magic spell has evolved many times, and the wizards have been trying to improve it, so they invented or classified it into various modern magic spells, [flying spell] [flying bird spell] [braking spell] [hover spell]... and so on!"

"It's amazing. I can't say it more completely myself. There are some things that I don't even know... It seems that this old antique is indeed a bit outdated, but it can still teach you some things that are still neglected in our era or until now... The most basic, the most essential things!"

Ms. Gray's tone was unusually severe. She flipped through the book "Standard Elementary; Spells" that had changed back at some point, and said slowly.

Hermione was very pleased.

"Then..." Ms. Gray clapped her hands, "Who among you can successfully cast this [Levitation Curse]!"

After the scene just now, only Hermione raised her hand cooperatively.

"Well, I mean, whoever can at least float a stone will do..."

All the little wizards looked at me and I looked at you, and slowly raised their hands together.

"Then, although it is possible to float a stone in the air and make it move..."

Now only half of them raised their arms.

Ms. Gray turned her fingers, and a translucent silver-white mist appeared in front of her, turning into a stone, jumping and turning around.

"Then who can do this..."

Hermione sat next to Harry, jumping up and down on her feet.Her hands were raised again, and few arms were raised in such a situation.

Harry, Ron, and Malfoy stared at the McGuffin, which they knew the little wizard could do without raising his arms.

"Oh——in the end, which one of you can do what Slytherin did just now...or command a few branches to form a formation and fly in the air like a dodo..."

The fog continued to change. Under the command of Ms. Gray, the formation of branches changed into S for a while, and changed for a while...

Hermione stood up hesitantly and raised her arms high and dangling. If Ms. Gray didn't call her again, it would make the scene a bit embarrassing.

"Okay! Hermione Granger, what's your problem?" Ms. Gray called Hermione calmly.

"Ms. Gray, even though most [flying] spells are developed from [levitation spells]...it's not right!"

She really dared to say that the scene of Malfoy slumped on the ground now... It seems that this lady who knows everything is not intimidated at all.

Hermione continued with great interest, "Salazar Slytherin didn't cast a specific spell just now... Then there must be many spells in it, not just a [Levitation Curse]... I just thought about it for a while, and there are traces of [Manipulation Curse], [Group Curse], [Braking Curse]..."

"The book [Encyclopedia of Modern Spells and Spells in the 20th Century - Unification and Classification] records in detail..."

Hermione couldn't stop talking, wanting to go on.

"You're right! Hermione Granger!" Ms. Gray said with a stern face, waved her hand to interrupt Hermione's statement, and raised her voice two tones, "But..."

"But... this is just a saying for those who are incompetent and have no talent!"

"I don't need such things here!"

"Perhaps Professor Flitwick, or Dumbledore gave you an illusion, a warm and beautiful illusion... You will become a wizard after graduating from here!"

"Wrong, if you just wave your wands like a baboon... you think you can become a great and outstanding magician..."

Ms. Gray stared at the faces of every trembling little wizard with contemptuous eyes, and sneered coldly, "It's just a daydream!"

"I can say this... A wizard who can't even master the [Levitation Curse] is just an inferior product!"

"In our time, how could there be so many spells for you to learn, a simple spell repeated over and over, constantly changing and strengthening, to be outstanding, to achieve what others could not achieve - this is what a wizard apprentice and a Hogwarts student should be able to do!"

"As for what you said... just because you can't do it doesn't mean that people can't do it..."

"In our time, even a first-year wizard apprentice could cast the [Levitation Curse] to meet the requirements I just mentioned!"

"Ms. Hermione Granger...do you understand?"

Hermione lowered her head with a flushed face, and returned to her seat.

Malfoy recovered at this time, he was very pleased with Hermione being ridiculed, and sneered.

Can……

"Draco Malfoy! What are you laughing at? If Salazar Slytherin saw that the wizards born in pure-blood families who had placed high hopes on him had such virtues, he would have hanged himself with a sock... What are you arguing with Godric Gryffindor for?"

Harry, Ron was dying of laughter...they were all flushed and hurt internally.

At this time, the quiet, lonely, lonely and flustered Ravenclaw female ghost-Ms. Gray has completely disappeared.

Her face was majestic, and the 'maliciousness' of Miss Ravenclaw hundreds of years ago was fully displayed again.

"Okay, does anyone else have any questions?"

I saw that no one had the courage to stand up and ask questions.

"It's really unbearable, the little wizard is really inferior to the next generation, or the magic world is constantly declining..."

Ms. Gray spoke so harshly that the young wizards didn't even dare to raise their heads to resist a little bit.

"Then let's continue! For us human wizards...or all creatures with magical powers that can cast spells-remember that the most important thing to cast a spell is willpower and magic power...as for the others...even the spell and the wand are secondary."

Seeing the puzzled looks of the other little wizards, who hesitated to speak but dared not ask, Ms. Gray continued to explain,
"Remember that there is magic before there are charms, there are wizards before there are magic wands..."

"Wizards invented magic spells through continuous and successful casting, and concluded spells according to habits... It was wizards who invented wands, not wands that gave birth to wizards!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"It's a pity that I can't show it to you personally..."

With a wave of Ms. Gray's hand, the book placed in front of her returned to its original state and started flipping quickly.

After a while, translucent afterimages of the Big Four appeared in front of Ms. Gray.

Like some kind of virtual reality movie, start showing little wizards casting spells through scenes.

(After Ms. Gray finished speaking, she stared blankly at Ms. Ravenclaw's face when she was young, lost in her memories, not talking venomously)

And the little wizard focused on watching this rare scene. (No one wants to be distracted, not even Malfoy)
——This is the Big Four demonstrating spellcasting in person.

At the same time, unlike the last time they fought against Malfoy, the sound of the spells they chanted kept coming from the sky.

Ravenclaw waved his wand and said a spell, which is the pronunciation of ancient Latin.

Slytherin started with his best Parseltongue... hissing.

——It turned out to be a curse issued in the language of snakes.

Gryffindor spells are spoken in German.

Hufflepuff spoke Scots.

They first performed it in English, then performed it again in another language, and finally performed it with empty hands.

——And that spell is [Levitation Curse].

"Do you understand?"

Ms. Gray waited until the statues of the Big Four turned into dots of light and disappeared before recovering, and said indifferently.

"The magic spell is just a joke, as long as you want to, as long as your will to cast magic, or your desire is strong enough, and you can clearly show the magic power in the way you want... You don't even need a magic spell, or even a wand!"
