A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 236: Spellcasting Instinct
The little wizards chattered about, not knowing what to say, and Harry found that many people had similar experiences.
"My mother told me that when I was young, I lost my temper and blew up the dishes!"
"When I was seven years old, my aunt insisted on giving me Houttuynia cordata, but I lost it."
"I accidentally fell into the water, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and finally floated up by myself!"
Felix listened quietly, and when the discussion gradually subsided, he asked another question: "Then can you do similar things now?"
Everyone was silent.
Draco Malfoy showed a reserved smile: "Professor Haipu, for some families with a long history, this is not a difficult task."
Ron couldn't help but said, "You mean you can do it, right now?"
"Of course," Draco glanced mockingly, "The Malfoy family has a long heritage..." He emphasized again, then looked at Harry and Ron with provocative eyes, and said triumphantly: "When I was a child I have received similar training, and I often play chess like this with my father during the summer vacation..."
He looked at Felix, "Please allow me to show you, professor."
Felix nodded in agreement.
Draco stared at the teapot and teacups on the small table, and after about ten seconds, a teacup with blue patterns jumped up and floated at a height of one foot.
The teapot also flew up unsteadily, its body tilted, and amber tea poured out of its spout.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Draco's forehead, and the teapot shook violently. He controlled the teapot to fall back onto the small table, making a "bang" sound, and then the teacup flew towards him lightly.
He took the teacup and took a sip of the tea. A smile appeared on his pale face. He bowed slightly and said, "High-quality tea, Professor Haipu."
Harry looked at all this in amazement, something Malfoy didn't usually show.
Ron said unconvinced: "Malfoy, I didn't see you know any spells when I entered the first grade!"
Draco grinned and said, "It's not a good thing to get started with wands and spells too early, didn't someone tell you that, Weasley?" he said emphatically on the Weasley name.
The twins almost jumped out to hit him because the taunt was too broad, and Percy gave him a bad look.
Draco shrank his neck quickly.
"Okay," Felix motioned for them to stop, "Mr. Malfoy has shown us a good example, and he needs a little applause."
Sparse voices sounded, and the applause belonging to Slytherin was more enthusiastic. Pansy Parkinson looked at him with admiring eyes and whispered to him in a low voice.
"Going back to the original question, in most cases, young wizards cast spells unconsciously due to emotional agitation, which is also regarded as a sign of wizard qualifications.
But it is not so easy to show the magic of magic in a calm state.
This is related to the growth stage of little wizards - generally between six and ten years old, your magic power will have a huge improvement, and the level of magic power will be much higher than it is now, which makes it difficult for you to control your own Strength, when emotionally aroused, there will be a slight loss of control..."
Felix paused for a moment to let them understand the meaning of these words, and continued: "After entering school, you will be exposed to a lot of spells and magic practices, which will ease the process to a certain extent. And because the first time The growth has passed, your minds are more mature, and your magic power has stabilized, so it is difficult for riots to occur." He glanced at Harry.
Harry immediately understood what the professor meant. He had just experienced a magic riot a few months ago. In the words of Professor Haip at the time, his magic power was "like a flame that kept jumping and burning".
Hermione raised her hand, "Professor? Is it because the little wizard has been exposed to standardized magic teaching after entering school, making magic more controllable?"
"There is this factor. In fact, in your second development—that is, from the third grade to adulthood, you can hardly feel the restlessness of magic power. It is because of this reason."
Felix snapped his fingers, and a flame flew out from the fireplace, wrapping around his hands.
"The unconscious casting of spells in childhood is essentially that you accidentally fit a certain spell. The magic power senses your strong emotions and operates and mobilizes spontaneously.
Stable spellcasting when entering school, and silent, wandless spellcasting after maturity... To some extent, we are just finding our own spellcasting instinct. "
"Get back your instincts..." The little wizards kept chewing on these words. This kind of exploration of the essence of magic power was something they had never experienced before.
Felix smiled and said, "You can try this process." He waved his hand to extinguish the flame, and the teacups on the table duplicated into pairs, and then another pile emerged and fell in front of them.
Harry stared at the teacup in front of him, trying to make it float.
But this process is not easy, the cup does not move.
Professor Haip's voice seemed to come from beyond the sky, with some kind of temptation and hint, maybe he was wrong, but Harry felt that he saw a silver light flashing away in the professor's eyes.
"Stay focused—stay sensitive—stay confident—"
Harry's attention returned to the teacup in front of him, and this time it didn't take much effort, and the cup floated up, and he felt great joy in his heart, just like he first learned about himself from Hagrid. Being a wizard, or the joy of being able to cast a spell successfully for the first time.
I did it...
"I did it" He looked up at Professor Haipu, and found that the professor was looking at him with a smile.
Harry looked around, he was the only one who succeeded so quickly. But Draco did it quickly, he raised his head, looked at Harry in surprise, and said hesitantly: "Potter..." He has the foundation in this field~IndoMTL.com~ Harry ignored him, Turning his head to look at the others, he found that everyone seems to have entered a state of extreme concentration, and will only leave this state after success.
Cho Chang was still trying, Hermione was also blushing, and the cup in Cedric's hand was shaking, but it was barely a success.
One minute, two minutes, people succeed one after another.
Hermione was the seventh, she looked up at the others, "Oh." Her expression was a little disappointed.
Felix smiled and said: "This does not represent the level of potential, you may be too rational, and you rarely have experience in this area." He said to successful people: "You can continue to practice, or you can just sit on the sidelines Others, feel the change."
More and more people have succeeded, and in the process, Felix kept hinting: "Focus... Sensitivity... Confidence... You can do it!"
Half an hour had passed by the time the last person let the glass float away, but Harry barely felt the passage of time.
