Chapter 21 Charms

After the professor demonstrated the effect of the fire spell, both the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards showed great excitement.

This is the first offensive spell they have learned. It is not the lighting spell they learned last semester. There are also movement spells that can rival it.

For little wizards of this age, mastering such a magic is enough for them to brag for a long time.

The reason why Hogwarts teaches this kind of magic to second-year wizards also has its own considerations.

First of all, this spell is not actually very harmful to wizards. The burns that the young wizard can cause are just injuries that can be easily treated with a bottle of invigorating potion for Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor in the medical wing.

Fire, on the other hand, is not a friendly thing to the non-wizard danger sources in the magical world.

Therefore, teaching such magic to young wizards can also slightly increase their ability to fight against dangers in the magic world, and also provide more spell choices in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Next comes the teaching of charms and wand-wielding.

Professor Flitwick was worthy of being the dean of Ravenclaw. He explained the key points of the pronunciation of the spell and the posture of the wand in great detail.

Moreover, his wand swing is not the wand swing in the textbook, but is combined with his own power-generating skills and then taught to the young wizards.

Raven tried a comparison and found that the wand swing taught by Professor Flitwick was more subtle and the wand swing process was faster.

In other words, in actual combat, you may be able to complete the magic a little faster than your opponent.

Is this the background of a duel master? Different from the elegant appearance, he is actually a magic teacher of a practical faction. (Here is an image taken from later in the movie, with a middle parting and a mustache in a suit, because such an elegant duelist is cool.)

Raven was very satisfied with his choice of courses. The Charms course really allowed him to learn something different.

Professor Flitwick, after explaining the essentials of magic spells, began to let the little wizards form teams to practice.

As the little wizards chanted spells, Professor Flitwick also stepped down from the podium, correcting the students' mistakes at any time.

Raven also got together with Jack and Pappy.

"[Incendio]'s dio should be accented here, and should match the upward movement of the wand." Raven was instructing the two friends.

He himself had no intention of casting magic to give Hufflepuff points.

Bonus points for the little wizards because this is their first time coming into contact with this magic. He has been learning these things for many years, and yet he still bullies children. This is too tasteless.

At most, I give extra lessons and explanations to my classmates.

"Excellent, Miss Trelawney, you have earned three points for Ravenclaw." Professor Flitwick announced.

Following everyone's gaze, Raven saw a girl with short golden brown hair, a melancholy face, and smoky makeup.

"Her name is Misty Trelawney. She comes from the Haywood area like me. Her father, Old Victor, is a famous veterinarian there. But unlike me, her family is a wizarding family. Our professor of Divination, Silby Trelawney, is a relative."

Seeing Raven notice this girl, Jack Wells spoke first.

How could Raven not understand what Jack meant? Children nowadays are so precocious.

"You like her," Raven confirmed.

Jack's face turned red, but he did not deny it, but answered in a shy but serious manner.

"Yes, I like her."

Raven patted Jack's shoulder and said

"Then you have to work hard, this girl is very good."

After saying that, he continued to give instructions to the two classmates.

Jack and Pappy also successfully cast the fire spell when get out of class was about to end.

Because several other students have successfully cast the spell.

In the end, Professor Flitwick added a point for each of Jack and Pappy.

"Okay, everyone performed very well today.

The fire spell taught today can be practiced in class or in an open space, but please remember to avoid crowds and do not use magic in corridors or public places.

At the same time, I would like to remind the students again that if you use this magic on your classmates in private, you will be punished by at least half a month of confinement. Do you hear this clearly?

Okay, get out of class is over then.

Also, Mr. Weasley, please stay. "

Professor Flitwick announced the end of get out of class, and the little wizards exited in an orderly manner. But he asked Raven to stay.

"Mr. Weasley, I noticed that you did not cast fire spells in class, but you were coaching two Hufflepuff classmates and helping them cast spells successfully. Can you tell me what you think."

Raven just said what he thought, of course, hiding part of the content.

"Actually, I have already learned the Fire Curse, so if I use the Fire Curse to get extra points at this time, it is not fair enough for other students who are exposed to this spell for the first time."

After saying this, Raven stretched out his right hand.

A ball of flame rose from the palm of his hand, changing its shape as Raven's fingers moved.

Professor Flitwick froze on the spot with his eyes wide open.

Even for adult wizards, Flitwick knew that there were no more than thirty people who could master the fire spell to this extent.

With such attainments in fire spells, it would be really embarrassing to compete with beginner wizards for points.

"A very wonderful performance. There is no doubt that you are a genius far beyond other people's imagination. Mr. Weasley, Hufflepuff gets five points, not because of this curse, but because of your fair heart." Flitwick The professor praised.

Then he thought of something again and said to Raven a little frustrated.

"Judging from your accomplishments in this fire spell, I'm afraid I can't teach you anything, Mr. Weasley.

In the seven years of teaching at Hogwarts, excluding spells and wand swings, the Charms class can teach students nothing more than control and understanding.

And Mr. Weasley, you have turned your talents into abilities in these two areas. "

In fact, Raven really wanted to continue taking Charms classes, so he was relieved.

"Professor Flitwick, I don't think I can't learn anything in this class. On the contrary, I have benefited a lot from the dueling skills you incorporated into swinging the staff."

When it comes to his areas of expertise, Professor Flitwick is quite confident.

He didn't question that Raven was flattering himself. Raven was a person who knew magic. If he could realize this skill while teaching with the wand, he must be truly rewarded.

Raven added, "Wandless spellcasting and spellless spellcasting are indeed high-end magic skills, but this kind of spellcasting that skips necessary factors must be based on giving up certain magical effects.

The wand-swinging technique you teach in your teaching is to speed up the process while retaining the power of magic. This means something different. "

Flitwick nodded repeatedly, yes, this is what dueling wizards pursue. Only by chanting a spell and wielding a wand can the effectiveness of the spell be ensured. This is a common understanding among practical wizards. It is also a fact confirmed by the winners of the duel in the magic world.

Thinking of this, Flitwick knew what he should do. He went upstairs along the spiral staircase at the entrance of the classroom, entered his office, and then rummaged around for a while, finally finding the yellowed notebook.

[Copy as double]

Putting the original notes back into the box, he walked downstairs with the copied notes.

"Mr. Weasley, this is a copy of my dueling experience. It may give you some inspiration." Professor Flitwick solemnly handed the note to Raven's hand, and then continued.

"No need to refuse, you will be the most suitable master for him. If you can carry him forward, then I will be even happier,

In addition, I would like to invite you to join me in a Charms seminar, where we do not study existing knowledge, but explore aspects of Charms that have not yet been touched upon.

Every Tuesday and Thursday night, I hold such a small gathering in my office. Members can attend at any time and don’t have to take time off for anything. Would you like to be part of such a small gathering? "

Being short-handed, Raven naturally agreed to Professor Flitwick's invitation, then said goodbye to the respectable dean and went to the next class.
