Study Days at Hogwarts

   Chapter 56 Two Feet

  Originally, Fred and George, who wanted to do the final struggle, failed to master the descaling spell in one night after all. Of course, what made them give up completely was Albert's sentence: Filch may not necessarily allow you to use magic.

  The next day, in Charms class, Professor Flitwick checked everyone's practice. Compared with the Gryffindor students, there were very few Hufflepuff students who had successfully mastered the Luminous Charm.

  Professor Flitwick took five minutes to review the content taught in the previous class, and then began to talk about the counter-curse extinguishing spell of the Luminous Curse.

"The extinguishing spell can not only be used to extinguish the glowing spell on the wand, it can also extinguish ordinary light sources." Professor Flitwick pointed to a candle on the table, picked up his wand and tapped it lightly, "No Kex."

  The candle went out, as if someone had reached out and snuffed it out.

   "As you can see, the Quenching Curse's incantation is Knox, and this incantation is also adapted to extinguish a burning flame."

   "Luminescent flashes." After Professor Flitwick finished chanting the spell, a pale light glowed on the top of the wand, "Knox." After the Professor of Charms chanted again, the light on the wand disappeared again.

  After Professor Flitwick finished his lecture on the extinguishing spell in class, he left the rest of the time for everyone to practice the spell.

   "Luminescence... Knox." Albert succeeded after several attempts. In order to further verify the effect of the spell, he even changed a candle for himself. After lighting it, he began to try to extinguish the flame on the candle.

   "I succeeded too." Lee Jordan was in a good mood. After trying a dozen times in practice, the spell successfully extinguished the light on the wand, and then imitated Albert to extinguish the wax fire.

  According to Professor Flitwick's description, it is more difficult to extinguish the raging fire than to extinguish the Luminous Charm.

   "How angry!" Fred was still working hard to master the Luminous Charm, not only him, but also some students in the class.

  In the end, only three people succeeded in extinguishing the light on the wand, and Diggory of Hufflepuff was one of them.

  Before the end of the Charms class, Professor Flitwick assigned a new homework assignment for everyone, to write a paper report on the Luminous Charm and the Extinguishing Charm. It needs to be at least two feet long, and it will be handed in before class next Monday.

  George muttered under his breath: "Two feet long, Professor Flitwick must be crazy!"

For little wizards who have basically never written papers, it should be said that they have never touched a quill, writing a two-foot-long parchment is a difficult challenge, even if you want to find a bunch of words to fill two feet Long pieces of parchment are not easy.

"Actually, this kind of dissertation report is very simple." Albert glanced at George with a strange look, "You just need to copy the origin of the glowing spell and the lighting spell, and then write something about your learning the glowing spell When encountering problems, go to the library to find some knowledge about this aspect and copy it up, and finally write a summary report or something, two feet long is almost enough to read.

  Actually, Albert knew very well that Professor Flitwick did not expect the freshman's first homework to be well written.

   To put it bluntly, this paper is to let everyone know more about the luminous spell and the extinguishing spell, and to deepen everyone's understanding and application of spells.

   In his previous life, Albert wrote a lot of similar things when he was in college. Although it has been a long time, he still understands something.

   "It's that simple?" Li Qiaodan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's so simple?" Aliya glared at the other party, and said sarcastically, "When you start writing, you will find that it is not that simple. But, thanks to Albert, now I know where to write. Something was written on the foot-long parchment."

  On the way, when several people were discussing the homework of the spell class, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.

   "Are you sure what he said is correct?" A Hufflepuff student interjected in a strange tone.

"At least, it sounds much more reliable, doesn't it..." Fred and George looked at each other, walked up to the Hufflepuff student, put their arms around the man's arm and said, "Maybe, Albert has A little hint from Professor Flitwick."

   "Let me go." The Hufflepuff student struggled hard, but couldn't break free from the Weasley twins, and was held firmly by the two.

"Oh, well, don't be nervous." Fred let go of the other party, reached out and patted him on the shoulder twice, watching the guy quickly run into the Hufflepuff team, he couldn't help but feel complacent. laughed.

   "Stop messing around." Digory warned the twins with a glare.

"We didn't do anything, Diggory. We just had a simple exchange with him." The twins put their arms around each other's shoulders and said, "Isn't it, we didn't do anything, who knew he would suddenly become so nervous .”

   "Okay, let me go." Digory also had a helpless expression on his face. Of course he knew that the twins' friendly way of communicating did not mean harm to him, but other people didn't think so.

   "He looks frightened by you." Li Qiaodan couldn't help but said.

   "Don't talk nonsense, we didn't scare him, be careful to sue you for slander." Fred and George looked like we didn't do anything, it was him scaring himself.

   In fact, they really did nothing.

  Albert was amused, and now he suddenly wanted to laugh. However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the twins did. After all, they didn't do anything, and it was the other party's own misunderstanding.

   "By the way, when will we have flying lessons?" Angelina asked suddenly.

"I'm not sure. It's said that Gryffindor freshmen will be notified on the bulletin board in the lounge when they have flight lessons on Thursday afternoon." Fred thought for a while and then said, "Charlie is recruiting backup players recently. , if you like Quidditch, you can try it, backup players have the opportunity to get in touch with broomsticks, but you need to rely on yourself if you want to become a full-fledged player."

   "When?" Angelina asked with bright eyes.

  George said without hesitation: "This afternoon, you can go to the Quidditch pitch and chat with Charlie."

   "You don't really want to join the Quidditch team!" Aliya looked at her roommate in surprise.

   "Well, I want to try it."

   "There will be a transformation class later." Shanna whispered, "I hope Professor McGonagall will stop giving us homework."

   However, everyone is destined to be disappointed.

  Even if Professor McGonagall doesn't give them homework, they still have to continue practicing Transfiguration.

  However, Professor McGonagall said that next week they will check their progress in turning matches into needles. If they still cannot change the matches, it is estimated that someone will be really unlucky.
