Hogwarts in the shadows

Feng Baobao took the shadow ball without hesitation and swallowed it.

In an instant her eyes widened, and she seemed to have mastered those weird symbols that she could not understand at all.

She subconsciously said in English, "Really?"

Although her pronunciation still has a bit of Sichuan accent, it is very close to standard English.

Hephaestus stood up and dusted himself off.

"Well, I should go to class. Go find that old man with white beard later and ask him to help you arrange an academy."

"Wait," Feng Baobao grabbed him, "I haven't given you any benefits yet."

"I'm just kidding, no need." Hephis smiled.

"Of course I will give it to you. This was agreed upon in advance." Feng Baobao is a stubborn person.

"Okay, then what do you want me to do?" Hephis was a little amused.

Feng Baobao thought for a moment and said, "Sit cross-legged and clear your mind."

Hephaestus sat down again as he was told, with his five hearts facing the sky.

Feng Baobao looked at it and adjusted his posture.

Then she placed her small white hand behind Hephis's head.

Hephis immediately felt a current of air flowing through his body.

Its flow path is very complicated, but it does not interfere with the magic power at all.

Feng Baobao only circulated the Qi in Hephis' body once.

A stream of energy was generated in Hephis' body and automatically ran along the route just now.

She nodded with satisfaction.

This is only Feng Baobao. If it were someone else, their jaw would drop.

A person without any foundation can not only generate airflow, but also operate on his own.

This cannot be described as genius, it is simply a monster.

Hephis didn't feel anything special, after all, the magic power in his body was too strong.

The new airflow is like a tiny seedling, which has no effect on the towering trees.

Feng Baobao wanted to teach Hefeis the 'Eighteen Styles of Awei', but Hefeis put her off by saying that he was about to go to class.

This looks quite interesting, but it’s better for him not to learn it.

Then Hephis went to the Charms classroom.

Professor Flitwick was standing on a pile of books as usual, so that he was at eye level with the little wizards.

Since they are fifth graders, they will face O.W.Ls at the end of the school year.

So Professor Flitwick spent fifteen minutes

He stressed the importance of the exam in a serious tone.

"You must remember," his shrill voice echoed in the classroom.

"This exam may affect your future prospects!

If you haven't thought seriously about your career path, now is the time to do so.

To ensure that you can all perform at your best,

We have to work harder than ever before!"

Professor Flitwick continued, "Now we are going to review the Summoning Charm, which is a required part of your OWLs exam."

He seemed to intend to let Hephis give the young wizards some stimulation.

So he motioned to Hefeis to demonstrate it, and he gave Hefeis a look that said you know what I mean.

Hephis naturally had to give face to Professor Flitwick.

After all, he still liked this amiable "little" professor very much.

Then, a magical scene appeared.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

The little wizards in the classroom were surprised to find that they were actually flying.

Hephes controlled their orderly flight in the air.

The whole classroom was immediately filled with laughter and screams.

Professor Flitwick's face flushed with excitement, and he even dropped the book he was using as a footstool.

But when Hephis finished the demonstration, the little wizards returned to their original positions.

Professor Flitwick said seriously,

"Hephis's flying spell has exceeded the limits of the spell itself.

This is not what you need to master right now.

As long as you can use the basic flying spell skillfully, it will be enough."

The young wizards then spent more than an hour reviewing the Flying Spell.

Before the get out of class ended, he assigned a lot of spells as homework, which was simply "crazy".

Next up was Potions class with Hermione.

As soon as Snape appeared, the underground classroom became silent in an instant.

He also stressed the importance of OWLs exams.

The next step is to instruct the little wizards to make the soothing potion.

This is also a medicine that often appears in exams.

In fact, there are huge differences between wizard exams and Muggle exams.

There is almost no need to understand the questions, just follow the instructions directly.

Just like a demulcent, just write out its function - to calm and soothe irritable and anxious emotions, and brew it.

The examiners will then give scores based on the quality of the medicine.

In other words, what the little wizards learned were the exam questions, and even the question types would not change in the slightest.

That's it?

There are still people who fail the exam.

No wonder the wizarding world has fallen into such decline.

In the subsequent courses, every professor’s opening remarks would be related to the OWLs exam.

Then a lot of homework was left, making the fifth-grade wizards complain bitterly.

But Hephes was spared these troubles.

Except for Professor Binns' History of Magic homework.

The other professors exempted him from this meaningless task.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is the most anticipated course for all young wizards.

Even many young wizards don’t know that last year’s Professor Moody was a fake.

So they had high expectations for Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was also an Auror.

It is uncertain whether Shacklebolt is a good Auror, but he is certainly very suitable to be a professor.

He compiled a detailed list of the knowledge points that the young wizards should master in five years.

And made a lot of special marks on it.

"After understanding your learning progress and based on your current abilities,

Going straight into the OWLs exam would probably be a disaster.

Fortunately, we have one year to make up for these shortcomings.”

Shacklebolt said in his deep, slow voice.

"It's obviously not practical to relearn everything, so..."

He pointed to the spell circled on the parchment.

"I have studied nearly fifty years of Defense Against the Dark Arts exam questions and found these seventeen most frequently appearing spells.

Mastering them will guarantee you at least an E grade.

In addition, I will teach you an 'Iron Armor Spell' that can give you extra points, so that your grades can hopefully reach O level."

Then he looked at the young wizards gently, "I heard that you have learned 'Expecto Guardian', right?"

The young wizards all nodded. They had learned this spell from Snape in their third year.

Although none of them had practiced against Dementors yet, most of them were already able to cast the silver mist.

There are even a few that can release complete patronuses.
