A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 242: Tests and caveats

An open space was cleared in the center of the lounge, surrounded by seats and sofas moved by the little wizards, and they were arranged in an irregular circle.

In the center of the circular open space, two magic puppets are engaged in a fierce duel.

Crackling arcs and sparks came from one of the magic golem's fists, and it slammed into the opponent's face, and it immediately became motionless.

"Four into two! The first finalist is Angelina Johnson! Let's cheer for her!" said Fred as the referee: "At the same time, she will get a couple mirror coupon, and Participate in the lottery for guessing tickets..."

"It's a lottery ticket." George next to him reminded him, and Fred changed his words: "That's right, a lottery ticket."

"Then—the next game! Hai, Professor Haipu?" Fred spotted Felix and waved at George in a panic. George put away the parchment in front of him tacitly. stand up.

"Are you gambling together?" Felix looked at him.

"No, no," Fred explained, "We're promoting couples mirrors, just to have fun."

Felix looked at him suspiciously, and Fred swore, "Absolutely not. If you don't believe me, ask them." The other little wizards nodded.

"Okay, where's Percy?" Felix didn't press further.

"He's not here, Professor, I guess with Penello." Fred said without thinking. "I can provide a few dates for them."

"Ahem, there's no need." Felix felt a headache for Percy, he raised his voice, and said to the little wizards around him, "I'm here this time to collect your Christmas gifts on behalf of Professor McGonagall. Please come and fill out the list of students staying in school, and tick the corresponding options..."

"Well, the form is temporarily placed here, and I will pick it up in the afternoon—if Professor McGonagall hasn't gotten rid of her little trouble."

The little wizards gathered around one after another.

Felix stood aside and looked at the Gryffindor lounge. It was his first time here. The layout here is different from that of Slytherin or Ravenclaw, with gold and red as the main colors , shaped like a large circular living room.

In the lounge, there are soft armchairs and sofas, as well as small and sturdy solid wood chairs and tables. Various notices, posters and information written by students are posted on the bulletin board.

Currently the latest eye-catching advertisements for the Weasley twins couple mirror and the news that Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff in the Quidditch match at the end of November.

Below this message, there is a handwritten line of inspirational flashing text: "We still have a chance!"

The overall layout of the common room has a large open area, and there are grid spaces separated by partitions in the corners.

Except for a huge fireplace that took up an entire wall, the remaining three walls were hung with scarlet-colored tapestries, on which were painted portraits of many famous witches and wizards, as well as some animals.

Felix thought that the majestic flaming lion he saw was very similar to the one Professor McGonagall showed in the dueling class.

'Maybe some kind of magical creature? ’ he wondered.

"Professor," said Hermione, who had just finished filling out the form, coming over with Harry and Ron.

Felix looked at them with a smile: "I heard that your dueling self-study group is doing well?"

Harry couldn't help scratching his head, "It's mainly the three of us practicing, Dean and Seamus will come over occasionally."

Felix said: "Harry, I have read your dueling system paper, it is very suitable for you, when you can easily integrate it into every battle of yours, it means that you have thoroughly mastered the paper on things."

Ron said, "I think Harry would--" Harry hurriedly pulled him back.

Felix looked at Ron and asked with a smile, "Are you trying to say that Harry has achieved the dueling system constructed in the paper?" Seeing that the professor was not angry, Ron nodded boldly.

This is Ron's personal experience. If the Disarming Curse is not counted, he can still go back and forth with Harry a few tricks. After all, he has barely mastered the Iron Armor Curse, Stunning Curse and other spells.

But in the face of Harry's most powerful Disarming Curse, all his resistance was ineffective—his Iron Armor Curse shattered from the middle like a funny biscuit, his wand flew out, and his whole body was crushed. Flying, there is no second possibility.

Or, Harry made the trajectory of the Disarming Charm into a magical arc, and with the steps he learned from dueling lessons, he could always easily break through his defenses.

This also made Ron secretly anxious, even the food in the cafeteria was not delicious-he didn't want to be left too far away.

Felix thought about it, and decided to test it, "Look at me, Harry." His eyes turned silvery white, Harry met his gaze, and was stunned for more than ten seconds, suddenly a Staggered, almost fell.

"Professor?" Ron supported Harry and looked at Felix in surprise. He almost thought that the professor in front of him was Black in disguise.

The reason why they thought so was because they had done something similar last school year, sneaking into the Slytherin common room with Polyjuice Potion, trying to get information from Malfoy on the Heir of the Chamber of Secrets.

They had discussed before that if Black wanted to sneak into the Hogwarts castle, Polyjuice Potion would be a good idea. However, the result of the final discussion is that this possibility is not great, because it is difficult for Black to break through the defense line of the looking glass at the castle gate.

"I'm fine," said Harry breathlessly, "Professor Hemp, this is—what—"

"My unique magic, although not absolutely accurate, but it can still be used to test your progress." Felix said.

Harry said highly, "I dare say, this magic is absolutely extraordinary, I can actually fight you in consciousness..."

Ron looked at him with a look of shock~IndoMTL.com~What did Harry say, fighting in consciousness? Is that what he thought?

"Is it the thinking hut, professor?" Hermione speculated that she had practiced ancient runes in the thinking hut before, and she had never fought in a battle.

"Well, it's just a bit similar. Frankly speaking, I've made too much progress in the field of memory magic recently, and discovered a lot of novel techniques, but I haven't had time to name them yet." Felix said.

He took this topic and looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione, "From the test just now, it can be seen that Harry has not yet mastered the dueling system he proposed, especially in various details, There are still many problems... Actually, Harry's problem is also your problem.

More than one threshold needs to be crossed from theory to practice, and it will take longer to turn it into an instinctive reaction that does not require thinking. "

He said with a serious expression: "For some people, this time may be a lifetime."

"Of course, all three of you are gifted wizards, and the only enemy you need to defeat is complacency, which will hold you back."
