Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Sifa spent the whole noon in silence.

He is reflecting and adjusting himself.

Charms class in the afternoon.

Charms is taught by Elise's grandfather, Brant Fergus.

This hale and hearty old man is also the head of Ravenclaw College.

It is not surprising that Chapter 1 of the textbook is to learn the floating spell.

Xifa flipped through the textbook, and felt that the content was roughly similar to the practical spells he had read.

These scripted spells were not difficult for Xifa.

All it takes is standard gestures, clear mantra chanting, and an infusion of faith.

Depending on the amount of magic power imparted to the wand, the strength of the spell changes accordingly.

Cifer was very curious, he wanted to know why he gave up his wand, he mobilized his magic power, made gestures, and chanted, but none of them had any effect.

However, according to the knowledge he has been exposed to so far, the most important thing is to learn the basics honestly and master the ability to protect himself.

Skip the class where Professor Fergus explains how to cast the spell, and time for the hands-on phase.

The performance of the little wizards in the Charms class was not much different from the overall performance of the Transfiguration class in the morning.

It can even be said that Charms are more dangerous.

For this reason, this class is only for Ravenclaw and Gryffindor freshmen.

The maximum damage of the Transfiguration Charm is nothing more than causing it to explode.

And the Levitation Curse...

Sifa witnessed it with his own eyes, right next to him.

There was a little wizard from Gryffindor.

His spell did not cause the feather to slowly levitate.

Instead, the feathers are shot towards the wooden blackboard in front of them at super high speed.

Xifa took a closer look and found that only half of the tail feathers were exposed outside the blackboard.

That white spot in the black made Xifa break out in a cold sweat.

If the feather shoots at other little wizards, I don't know if Dean Fergus can react in time...

Frightened, Xifa raised the feathers in front of him tremblingly.

Professor Fergus saw that Xifa had succeeded.

He didn't be stingy just because he was a student of his own academy, and decisively added ten points to the successful No.1.

Five points each for successful Elise and Luna.

In this class, the three of them won [-] points for the college points.

As the end of get out of class draws near, there are very few successful little wizards.

Huh?Did Professor Dumbledore forget to give us extra points?

With a little resentment.

Cifer left the Charms classroom.

Charms didn't take up the whole afternoon.

In the afternoon, there is the last course of the day - herbal medicine.

The herbal medicine professor is an amiable middle-aged witch.

She always faces every little wizard with kind eyes and a smile.

On the way to the herbal medicine classroom, Sifa learned the name of the herbal medicine professor from Elise.

Bernice Leslie, who is also Head of Hufflepuff.

Herbalism textbooks cover the content covered in Potions Fundamentals.

Therefore, Xifa spent the whole class observing herbal medicines.

With the help of Elise, I can use the rigid knowledge in the book flexibly.

Herbalism is the foundation of Potions.

But the configuration of potions is not only herbs.

A potion for scabies, for example, requires dried nettles, ground snake teeth, porcupines, and steamed tentacled slugs.

A potions master, basically a mobile encyclopedia of the wizarding world.

Even if Xifa insists on eating the foundation of potions every night...

"...With my guidance and your abnormal learning speed, it is estimated that you will not be able to try to brew the secret medicine for awakening until the Christmas holiday!"

Above, Elise's evaluation of Sifa at dinner that night.

There is nothing wrong with the herbal medicine class, even if the herbs in the first-year class are disposed of in the wrong way, there will be no serious consequences.

That was the end of the bland herbal medicine class.

After eating, the three of them climbed the stairs back to the lounge and came to Xifa's dormitory.

Three people gathered around a table.

Finish the homework left in today's class in a hurry.

What?Where did the table and chairs come from?Then ask Elise and Luna.

Even after a day of class.

Before going to bed, Sifa did not relax either.

He gritted his teeth, took out a thick base of potions, and started to clock in the daily tasks.

Tuesday morning class is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The professor was a tall and thin man, an old acquaintance, and he was the one who slapped the new students before the sorting ceremony.

Through his self-introduction, Sifer knew his name was Galatea Meles.

Xifa admired the old man very much.

Not only has he been the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for many years, but he also edited Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks for all ages at Hogwarts.

In the first class alone, he stated the teaching goals of the first semester of the first grade, and also hinted at the content of the phased test in the first semester of the first grade.

That is, young wizards must be able to master and use the impediment spell proficiently.

"In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the spells you learn are more difficult to release than the spells you learn in other classes. It is the only ability that selflessly protects you after you leave the castle. Even if you can only practice in class, you can do it in private. Practice waving your hands non-stop! Practice! Practice again! Engraving its waving movements into your bones. Only in this way, when you are in danger, even if your mind is blank, you can still pull out your wand and release the spell!"

"So, in the first half of this year, you are practicing successfully releasing the obstacle spell in various emergencies!"

Seeing that no one objected, Professor Mellors stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

He began to teach formally, explaining how to release the blocking spell more effectively.

"Many Obstacles"

Professor Mellors asked everyone to come forward first, and he cast an impediment spell on each of them, so that the little wizard could feel the resistance of the spell.

Experience for yourself what this spell does.

Then began to popularize some dark creatures.

What evil goblins, common poisonous insects in the magic world, etc.

Then point out their weaknesses, how they have protected themselves with blocking spells.

The whole class was vivid and vivid, and all the little wizards sat upright, listening to Professor Meles' explanation with their eyes shining.

The many experiences of Professor Melles have brought a lot of inspiration to Xifa.

After all, there is a difference between magical and Muggle creatures.

He spoke for an hour and a half in one breath.

Professor Mellors took a sip of water from his water glass, and then announced that everyone took out their wands for practical training.

"For the dark creatures I mentioned above, you can use the obstacle spell to buy you time to resist. But! The biggest problem is whether the spell you cast can hit it, not whether your spell can be shot! You know , They are all living dark creatures!"

Indeed, hitting an irregularly moving target is different from a fixed target.

In order to combat the little wizard's arrogance and let the little wizard calm down, he only learned and practiced the obstacle spell in the first half of the year.

Professor Mellors took out a quill from his pocket, and turned it into a bird with a touch of his magic wand.

Judging by the shape, it looks like a hummingbird, Xifa thought in his mind.

So small, so hard to hit.

The bird spread its wings and flapped at a high frequency, flying around Professor Meles.

"This is a bone-eating hummingbird. Once you are pecked by its beak, your bones will feel pain like a knife."

"Of course, it's just non-toxic. But it hits your head and you fail."

"Is there anyone who volunteered to challenge first?"

Professor Melles put his eyes on Xifa vaguely.

This little wizard made a deep impression on himself at the beginning of school, and he was very optimistic about him.
