Hogwarts Staff Maker

Ron's appetite was as good as ever, but Harry groaned during lunch.

"I thought magic was just waving a wand, but I didn't expect there were so many complicated principles to learn."

Hermione: "Of course! We still have a lot to learn! In my opinion, magic is as complicated as science!"

"Don't lose heart, Harry. Apart from Liu Sen and Hermione, none of us have made any difference to the matches," Neville comforted.

"Harry, don't worry, I bet you must have hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet! Everyone has something he is good at!" Liu Sen also comforted him. He knew that Harry was at least good at Quidditch.

Every little wizard here loves Quidditch very much, and you can hear discussions about flying broomsticks whether they are eating or walking.

For example, Malfoy boasted that he was good at flying and almost crashed a Muggle helicopter. Of course, he was bragging.

But Ron said that he almost hit a Muggle fixed-wing glider when he was a child.

The young wizards are passionate about Quidditch, a broomstick-riding sport, as much as Muggles are about football and basketball.

But this is a pain for Liu Sen.

Before school started, Liu Sen bought a Nimbus 2000 in Diagon Alley!

Although the main purpose was scientific research, when Liu Sen got home he found that he lacked talent in this area!

As the current top-level racing broom, the Nimbus 2000 is first-class in the magic world in terms of design, workmanship, controllability and sensitivity.

But when Liu Sen experimented in the basement, he found that he couldn't even make the broom float!

I'm so angry! I really want to dismantle it! (Light Wheel 2000) But I guess Liu Guozhong has already dismantled it many times...

After lunch, they returned to the dormitory. At Liu Sen's suggestion, Harry and his friends put all their textbooks in Liu Sen's backpack. This way, they didn't have to go back and forth, and could focus on dealing with the changing stairs and the steps that might disappear at any time.

The first class in the afternoon was the Charms class taught by Professor Flitwick (Head of Ravenclaw), a short wizard with goblin ancestry who had visited the Liu Sen family before school started.

How short is he? During class, he stands on a pile of books, otherwise he can't see the students.

Not surprisingly, when Harry's name was read during the class roll call, Professor Flitwick fell down in excitement.

Fortunately, his attainments in magic were very high, and his lectures were kind and humorous, so Liu Sen and the others listened very carefully.

Another thing that made them happy was that they had this class with the little wizards from Ravenclaw. They were much kinder than the Slytherins, and they were all smart and eager to learn!

Faced with a large number of competitors who loved studying as much as she did, the 'know-it-all' Hermione still won 5 points for Gryffindor by actively speaking in class!

Hermione seemed very happy after winning the game back. She was grinning from ear to ear, revealing her signature big buck teeth. Ron saw this and smiled secretly under the table.

Liu Sen thought: Brother! Smile! Maybe these will be beautiful memories for both of you in the future!

But what bothered everyone was that Flitwick wanted everyone to learn the basic theories of spells before they could actually cast them. (It made sense, as according to the original book, they practiced the levitation spell on Halloween.)

You must know that the destructive power of the little wizard is still very strong! Wrong casting and careless attitude can make a simple spell have dangerous and deadly effects!

For example, there was a wizard named Baruffio in history. When he was reciting the levitation spell, he made a mistake in pronouncing it, and ended up summoning a wild bull out of thin air that stepped on him!

Hearing this, Liu Sen had a bold idea! Hehehe! No, no, it's too dangerous. An adult bison weighs more than a thousand pounds. If someone stepped on it, it would... With a "kuchi", it would be crushed to pieces.

After getting rid of the terrible (tempting) thoughts in his mind, Liu Sen concentrated on learning theoretical knowledge.

The last class of the afternoon was Herbology.

Liu Sen and all the students from the Lion Academy had to accept that this was another class they would take together with the Snake Academy.

In the humid and warm greenhouse, the little wizards learned about many magical herbs.

But there is basically no danger. For example, the crying of the mandrake can make people unconscious, and you have to be in the second grade to come into contact with it.

Malfoy grumbled in class, thinking that things like changing the soil and applying fertilizer should be done by servants.

Wearing dragon-skin gloves, the young wizards, under the guidance of the kind and plump Professor Sprout (Head of Hufflepuff), mixed dragon dung and wood ash into the soil pile to make a nutritious soil suitable for most herbs.

Apart from having to endure the stinky smell, most of the little wizards had a lot of fun.

I wonder if there is a spell like the Bubble Head Spell that can filter out the smell! Liu Sen made a note of this and prepared to study it. He didn't want to endure this unpleasant smell... It was too addictive! After class, the first thing the little wizards did was to go back to the dormitory to take a shower!

Liu Sen also noticed that Neville was particularly interested in the flowers and plants here, and remembered that he would take over Sprout's job in the future.

After dinner, Ron took out a set of wizard chess, he was an expert at this. Harry and Neville were no match for Ron. The few chess pieces they had left were beaten to pieces by Ron.

Wizard chess has the same rules as the chess played by Muggles, but each chess piece is enchanted and can move and hit people! You just need to tell which chess piece to go where, and they will knock down the opponent according to the rules!

"Liu Sen, do you want to play a game?" Ron said happily.

"Ah, no, I don't want to be abused! You guys go play, I'm going to the library to check something."

After saying that, Liu Sen walked out of the common room alone, trying his best to put on a friendly smile along the way, otherwise the portraits on the wall would run away again.

The library is located on the fifth floor. It has a huge collection of books, with thousands of bookshelves!

Madam Pince is the librarian here. Not to mention destroying books, anyone making a loud noise in the library will be immediately criticized.

The study atmosphere here is quite good. Little wizards in groups of three or four are flipping through books attentively under the bookshelf. Many senior students are looking up information here and copying it down on parchment from time to time.

Liu Sen paced between the rows of bookshelves. There was a lot of information he wanted to look up. But there were two most urgent problems that needed to be solved. The first was brain occlusion!

Occlumency is a kind of advanced magic, a special wandless spell that can block mind reading! Harry will learn it in his senior year to isolate Voldemort's detection.

Professor Snape is a master of Occlumency, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to act so well in Infernal Affairs under Voldemort. Secondly, Dumbledore must know how to do it, and it seems hard to imagine what magic Dumbledore doesn't know.

But Liu Sen definitely didn't dare to ask these two for advice. He knew how much dark history and sad things Harry had exposed when he was practicing Occlumency.

Speaking of Infernal Affairs, Liu Sen remembered that the arrogant Malfoy also learned the brain block technique later! It was taught to him by Voldemort's capable subordinates! Let him attack Hogwarts from inside and outside!

Liu Sen didn't dare tell anyone about his identity as a time traveler. There was no way he could get over the hurdle of the sorting ceremony.

In Dumbledore's office, he was in a daze and neglected to take precautions (maybe he couldn't take precautions). But Liu Sen still wanted to close his mind as soon as possible and lock all the secrets in his heart!

The second point I want to solve is the problem that Liu Sen has been struggling with since he entered the magical world...his rolling pin-like wand!

Although the power increase and lightning effects are awesome, the shape is far from that of a master! It would be nice if the appearance doesn't show it!

Liu Sen didn't know which book could record such obscure knowledge as Occlumency, and he didn't dare to ask Madam Pince directly, even if she could give the answer in one second.

There was no choice but to search slowly.

At the deepest part of one of the bookshelves, Liu Sen saw a senior student who was a head taller than him and had a sunny and handsome appearance, reading a thick ancient book with great interest.

Liu Sen accidentally glanced at it and saw that there were actually drawings of magic wands inside! And there were many annotations!

His attention was immediately drawn to it; it was obviously a book about magic wands!

So he stood behind his senior and watched attentively.

After a while, the senior picked up his notes and prepared to copy what he saw in the book into his own notebook, then he noticed Liu Sen behind him.

"Oh! Sorry, senior! I saw the content about magic wands in a book when I was passing by, so I read it for a while! I hope you don't mind!" Liu Sen said embarrassedly.

"Wow! Are you also interested in the structure of a wand? You're a first year?" he said happily.

"Gryffindor first year, my name is Liu Sen! Hello, senior!"

"Cedric Diggory, Hufflepuff House, hello! Oh, wait, Liu Sen! I see, I heard that you killed Peeves..." He was suddenly surprised to remember who Liu Sen was, and through eye contact he indicated whether he had killed Peeves.

"Regarding this, I didn't mean it. But Peeves shouldn't die. The principal said it's a special ghost." Liu Sen explained while looking at the senior in front of him again.

Cedric! A Triwizard Tournament competitor! In a sense, the best student in all of Hogwarts! The light of Badger House!

"Ah, that's a pity. You know, everyone has been resentful of Peeves for a long time! If it never appears again, no one will miss it! But you are really amazing! Many people have tried to drive Peeves away and failed! There is no way to deal with him at all!"

Liu Sen and Cedric's conversation attracted the attention of Madam Pince, and before she got angry, the two quickly left the library.

After running away, the two smiled at each other. Cedric continued, "A long time ago, a former headmaster set a trap to try to capture Peeves. Guess what? Peeves was not only unharmed, but also used the weapon that caught him to cause trouble in Hogwarts!"

Liu Sen was also shocked: "Is it so fierce?"

"Yes! In the end, no one could subdue it, so the headmaster agreed to several conditions of Peeves, such as giving Peeves a beautiful hat and allowing him to swim in the boys' bathroom one day a week! Only then did Peeves stop! Since then, no one dared to catch it! So, buddy! I dare say that you will definitely be written into "A History of Hogwarts" in the future!"

Liu Sen laughed dryly and said modestly: "It's okay, it was actually an accident! I don't know how I could use such a powerful move!"

Cedric suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, you were interested in this book just now, right?" Then he handed the borrowed book to Liu Sen.

Appreciation of Ancient Wizards' Spellcasting Props

Liu Sen took the heavy book, opened it and flipped through a few pages. It not only explained magic wands, but also introduced many strange and bizarre spellcasting props.

"Very good! This is exactly the book I'm looking for! You can read it first! Lend it to me when you're done!" Liu Sen closed the book reluctantly.

Cedric: "It's okay, I've already read the parts I'm interested in. There are only a few pages about wands. If you only want to read books about wands, I can recommend you a few!"

Liu Sen was so happy. He was just worrying about how to find relevant books, so he hurried to express his gratitude.

Cedric was the Hufflepuff Seeker. He took some time to read a book and do some training. He made an appointment with Liu Sen to discuss this next time and then left.

Liu Sen returned to the library to find several books recommended by Cedric.

"The Development and Change of Magic Wands", "The Most Loyal Companion - The Magic Wand", "The Basic Structural Principles of Modern Magic Wands", "Spellcasting Materials and Alchemy"... pack them all up and borrow them!

Liu Sen walked out of the library with heavy steps. Thinking of the long journey back to the dormitory, he suddenly missed the backpack he forgot to bring.

"It's impossible to move the books back step by step over such a long distance! I'm a wizard!" Liu Sen thought, putting down the pile of books in his hands that almost blocked his vision.

After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea: "I can use the levitation spell!"

Seeing that no one was around, Liu Sen whispered the spell "Wingardium Leviosa!"

The book was hit by the small lightning that shot out from Liu Sen's magic wand, but... there was no reaction.

Liu Sen was not angry. After all, the levitation spell should be practiced from light feathers. He felt it carefully and recalled the key points of the spell in the book.

Concentrate, chant the spell again, flick your wrist, and release the magic! With Liu Sen's high concentration, he seemed to feel the whole process of casting the spell again.

The magic power in the body is mobilized, refined and restrained when passing through the magic wand, and when it comes into contact with the object being cast, the magic power unfolds into a complex magic operation structure, and a mysterious rule can be vaguely felt.

The book then broke free from gravity and floated up, as if it was supposed to.

For some reason, Liu Sen let out a sigh of satisfaction, feeling a sense of pleasure at having found order.

At this moment, a miserable cat cry sounded not far away!

"Hiss! Whose cat's meow is so unpleasant!" Liu Sen got goosebumps.

In the blink of an eye, a skinny cat with messy fur and bloodshot eyes was looking at Liu Sen fiercely at the corner.

Mrs. Norris!

Liu Sen knew about this cat. Harry and Ron had encountered it before, and the twin brothers had also mentioned it. This cat was very clever, and it would immediately discover any illegal behavior of the little wizards, and then...

Meow! ~Mrs. Norris turned around and ran away to inform the caretaker Filch!

"Damn it! This prodigal cat! Did I make any mistakes?" Liu Sen looked at himself, then at the book floating in the air...
