Hogwarts Staff Maker

Chapter 11: The Pressure of Defense Against the Dark Arts

"What are you fiddling with?" Ron asked Liu Sen while eating pie at breakfast.

"This is a ballpoint pen, a pen commonly used by Muggles. I want to disguise it as a quill pen!"

Liu Sen cut a feather pen with a knife and inserted the ballpoint pen refill into it.

"Ballpoint pen? What is that? Isn't a quill pen good?"

"The tip of a ballpoint pen is a very small ball, so the ink won't spill out, and you can write for a long time without dipping the pen in ink!" He Xueba explained, playing the role of a know-it-all.

Harry nodded, he couldn't explain it any more clearly.

"Mission accomplished!" Liu Sen showed the 'Sen-style feather pen' in his hand to several people.

Ron took it and tried it on the paper curiously, and introduced it to George and Fred sitting opposite him.

Liu Sen put away his knife and glue, muttering that he had to quickly learn the cutting spell and the bonding spell. (Senior Grade Spell)

The morning class was Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and all the young wizards were looking forward to it.

Several people arrived at the classroom early and smelled a pungent smell of garlic as soon as they opened the door.

It is said that Professor Quirrell encountered a vampire in Romania, and the garlic smell was to prevent the vampire from coming back to catch him.

Liu Sen chose a seat in the last row amid the puzzled looks of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville.

"I can't stand the smell of garlic. The back seat is better. You guys can sit in the front!" Liu Sen made an excuse.

He doesn't care about others, but Qi Luo has to be careful and stay as far away from Liu Sen as possible.

As for the final exams? Was there anyone marking the Defense Against the Dark Arts papers?

The bell rang for class, and Professor Quirrell, wearing a turban, walked into the classroom nervously. He almost tripped over the flat ground, causing the little wizards to laugh.

Professor Quirrell first stumbled over a brief self-introduction, and then began to call the roll.

When it came to Harry, Professor Quirrell's stuttering became even worse: "Harry Potter!"

When they reached Liu Sen, Professor Quirrell almost dropped the roll call: "Liu Liu Liu Sen! Ah, very, very good! Let's start the class!"

According to Professor Quirrell's story, he once rescued a prince of a small country from a resurrected zombie, and his turban was the gift from the prince to thank him.

At this time, Seamus Finnigan asked impatiently: "Professor, can you tell us how you defeated the resurrected zombies?"

But Quirrell's face turned red with holding back his words, he stammered and couldn't say anything, and finally changed the subject with the weather.

What disappointed the young wizards even more was that the entire class was conducted with Professor Quirrell reciting the text in a mosquito-like voice and stumbling over it.

Liu Sen almost clapped his hands in his heart. Such acting skills! The Oscars owe you a little golden man!

He ignored all that and happily read the extracurricular books he found from the library in the back row.

When he saw something that would help him with his research topic, he would write it down in his notes using his 'Mori-style quill pen'.

The young wizards were extremely uncomfortable with Professor Quirrell's teaching by reading the text, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts, which everyone had been looking forward to, turned out to be a joke.

Liu Sen found some clues about how to practice brain occlumency in an extracurricular book. That is, you need to master Legilimency first or be trained by other wizards before you can practice!

This was undoubtedly bad news for Liu Sen. Where could he learn Legilimency? Such dangerous things were obviously in textbooks, and there was no way he could find them in the ordinary areas of the library... Should he go to the restricted books section?

Being read by someone is even more impossible! Liu Sen must be mentally ill to allow others to read his mind! He can't hide it!

Dumbledore, Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange (the Death Eater who taught Malfoy Occlumency and the madwoman who tortured Neville's parents) are known to have Legilimency. Who else?

Oh yes, and Voldemort!

At this moment, Professor Quirrell happened to have his back to everyone, controlling the chalk to write the key points of the class on the blackboard.

In an instant, an extremely dark and evil thought glanced over!

The brief moment made Liu Sen's thinking sluggish and a gap appeared in his mind, but the magic wand in his pocket instantly released an electric current, which made Liu Sen feel pain! A warmth protected his mind!

Liu Sen's pupils shrank suddenly! He lowered his head quickly and cursed in his heart: Stupid Qi Luo, this class is so boring! It's just a pile of shit! It's more interesting to find a camel tied to the podium to study than his lectures! It's nothing! A big liar! ...

While Liu Sen was complaining and cursing "wholeheartedly", that evil thought never appeared again, but he still insisted on cursing in his heart until the end of the get out of class!

At the dinner table, Liu Sen ate a lot more than usual, almost catching up with Ron! He had to calm down!

Voldemort, in his residual soul state, should be in a semi-asleep state at this time, and his strength is still very weak.

Originally, Liu Sen would not pay attention to the little wizards' thoughts, but he happened to read Voldemort's name in his mind at that time! This made his subconscious mind send out a conditioned reflex to explore! It can only be said that Liu Sen was too careless and too unlucky!

Silently patting the magic wand in his pocket, Liu Sen said to himself: You are still reliable at the critical moment! From now on, I will never call you a rolling pin again!

At the same time, he was also thinking, could it be that his magic wand has the ability to defend against Legilimency?

On second thought, I thought it might be because the thought that was probing me was too evil and caused the wand to react. After all, the combination of lightning and lightning-struck peach wood is the best for restraining evil! That's what my grandfather wrote in his notebook!

Liu Sen reflected deeply. He was really careless this time. First of all, he shouldn't have mentioned his name in front of Lao Fu! Even if he was a remnant soul! Most wizards didn't dare to mention his name, and there was a reason for that!

Liu Sen made up his mind to put other subjects aside and focus on the mental defense!

At noon, Liu Sen simply did not go back to the dormitory to rest. He checked a lot of information in the library and even strolled around the banned book area. However, he was watched closely by the administrator and had no chance to get in!

In the afternoon there is another Herbology class. As a very important basic course and also a prerequisite for Potions, the young wizards have to spend 3 classes in the greenhouse every week!

Liu Sen was absent-mindedly studying the classification and maintenance of herbs, and was still thinking about the problem of brain closure in his heart.

The second class was History of Magic taught by Professor Binns, the only class taught by a ghost.

Back then, the elderly Professor Binns fell asleep in front of the fireplace in the teachers' lounge. When he went to class the next day, people were horrified to find that he had forgotten to bring his body with him!

I don’t know if it’s because he is too old (the number of years he has been alive plus the years he has been a ghost), or because that’s how he taught in his time, but all the little wizards fall asleep as soon as he starts teaching!

It's always a flat tone and a narration without emotion, telling the history of magic like a lullaby!

The already complicated history of magic, those tongue-twisting names and strange events are really overwhelming!

For example, many young wizards confuse the evil man Murrick with the weird man Ulric.

Liu Sen suspected that Professor Binns had almost lost all his humanity after becoming a ghost! He was more like a machine! Even the name of Liu Sen, the "ghost killer", was not a ripple!

However, Liu Sen didn't care about his lessons or tone. He still devoted most of his attention to thinking about his own topic.

In the evening, Liu Sen hurriedly finished his dinner, packed some midnight snacks, and went straight to the library.

When Liu Sen met his senior Cedric again, he shared a lot of his ideas with him and took out his wand to study.

Cedric used it for a while, and with the advance warning, he was not electrocuted like Hermione. But the effect of the magic also surprised and frustrated Cedric.

"It's so sensitive! How should I put it? It doesn't seem very stable to me! I don't know how you can control it! But the lightning effect is really cool!"

Liu Sen found an opportunity to ask Cedric implicitly if he knew how to learn Occlumency, but even this studious senior didn't know such an unpopular magic.

Liu Sen had to settle for the second best and studied magic alchemy items with Cedric, hoping to find an alternative solution and see how to make mental defense items!

The two of them kept looking through the materials until the librarian kicked them out, and then each of them left with a pile of books.

In the evening, Liu Sen would still read some materials and practice drawing talismans for a while.

He discovered that the Mind-Clearing Talisman in the Basic Spells seemed to help one clear the mind, and might even be able to resist Legilimency!

The next day, Liu Sen was still the same, using all his time to study his own things.

He always hid in the last row in class, which made Hermione very disappointed as she thought she had found a competitor.

There was Herbology class in the morning and Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon.

After Liu Sen sat in the last row, he quietly stuck a heart-clearing talisman that he had drawn last night behind his head.

I don’t know how effective the defense against mind reading is, but it can help Liu Sen stop having wild thoughts. He doesn’t dare to greet Voldemort’s name in person!

Wednesday is special because after a History of Magic class in the afternoon, there is also the first astronomy class of the semester in the evening!

Unlike Harry and Ron who were yawning and wanted to sleep, Liu Sen, who practiced boxing and meditation every day, was not sleepy at all.

But although he likes astronomy, he is not in the mood now! He wants to go to the library! He wants to practice drawing talismans!

He was extremely unhappy about classes disrupting his daily activities!

So Liu Sen, who was in a bad mood, took out his brass telescope and then brought out a set of modern catadioptric astronomical telescopes!

Compared to the slender brass telescopes of the little wizards, Liu Sen's is shorter, but quite thick!

If others have long guns, his is undoubtedly a "short cannon"!

It is no exaggeration to say that the imaging effect crushes all the telescopes present!

Even astronomy teacher Aurora Sinistra wanted Liu Sen to help her order one after seeing it! (The female teacher with skin color matching and European and American political correctness)

Unfortunately, the electronic star-chasing system above cannot work properly due to the interference of Hogwarts' magic.

However, the wizards' brass astronomical telescope is not as ordinary as it seems. It can also use magic to automatically track stars and adjust!

Liu Sen planned to combine the modern astronomical telescope with the telescope commonly used by wizards when he had time, but considering his "busy" study time, Liu Sen decided to write a letter to his father Liu Guozhong to modify it! He would definitely be happy!

On the astronomical tower where the cool breeze was blowing, Liu Sen looked at the stars with a modern telescope, but recorded the movement of the constellations in a wizard's way.

Liu Sen couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the magician explore other planets?

Magic can easily solve many problems such as acceleration, oxygen supply, temperature isolation, etc., but wizards have no intention of developing into outer space. What a pity!

……

After returning from get out of class, Harry, Ron and Neville, who shared the same dormitory, fell asleep one after another.

Liu Sen let the magic wand float above his head to provide light, then walked into his expansion backpack and practiced basic spells.

The systematic magic learning in school these days has not only strengthened my understanding of magic, but also confirmed some of the contents of my grandfather's notes.

As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination, and one can learn from others’ experience. By learning from Western magic, Liu Sen also gained a deeper understanding of Chinese magic.

The crooked characters drawn on the paper seemed to turn from a flat plane into a three-dimensional form, and the originally unrealistic spell structure also became traceable.

Liu Sen painted one picture after another, each one infused with magic more smoothly than the last, and every stroke united the essence, energy and spirit!
