A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 93: Duel Lesson (2)
"Little wizards, I need you to stand in the four directions of the stage according to the academy." Felix waved his hand to release the magic that restricted the sound.
The students in the audience were stunned, Felix walked to one side of the square gold-plated stage, "Slytherin, assemble here!" Then he walked to the other sideline, "Ravenclaw, Gather here!"
"Gryffindor, gather here!"
"Hufflepuff, gather here!"
When Felix walked around the stage, all the little wizards understood what the professor meant, and they acted quickly.
"Ginny, this way!"
Ron called out to his sister, and Harry looked over for the sound, and found that Ginny was holding hands with a Ravenclaw girl, staying in place motionless.
Around the girl's neck was a weird necklace that seemed to be strung together with some kind of bottle cork, and her long light-blond hair was messed up.
Like Ginny, she didn't move at all. Harry even thought that she didn't seem to understand the situation, and she was staring at the little wizard who kept passing her.
Ron squeezed through, followed by Harry and Hermione.
"Ginny, come on. Uh... what is this?" Ron looked at the Ravenclaw girl in front of him.
"I'm her new friend," the girl's eyes slid past him, paused slightly in front of Harry, and finally landed on Hermione.
"I know you. Many people say that you should be assigned to Ravenclaw." Her eyes fixed on Hermione.
"Really? I think Gryffindor is good." Hermione replied.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Harry said cautiously: "I think we should hurry up..."
Most of the young wizards took their positions, which made their small group quite conspicuous.
Even Professor Haipu looked over.
Ron dragged Ginny into a trot, and the girl suddenly said, "Luna, Luna Lovegood. My name."
Harry, who was running at the end, had to stop and introduce himself to her: "Uh, I'm Harry Potter."
"I know you." The girl named Luna said.
Harry muttered, "Really?" The scene in front of him was a bit awkward, and he hurriedly said, "See you again when we have a chance!" Then he went to chase his friend.
Luna came to Ravenclaw's position unhurriedly, and she waved at Ginny on the other side.
"Who's that?" Ron asked Ginny.
"My new friend." Seeing Harry staring at her, Ginny lowered her head shyly and said, "Our two families are actually very close, but there is a mountain in between."
"Serum Mountain?" Harry asked with interest. He's been at Ron's this year and learned the name from the twins, who, according to Fred, one of their childhood dreams was to "fly over Ferret Mountain on a toy broomstick".
Ginny quickly raised her head to look at Harry, and said in a low voice, "It's a little further north, and their house is on top of a mountain."
On the stage, Felix looked away, thinking to himself: Luna, and the little red-haired witch, are they the youngest daughter of the Weasley family?
When the last little wizard stood up, Felix said: "Next we need to practice in groups, and you can choose your own partners, preferably in the same grade."
The little wizards moved again, and Felix and Snape also walked off the stage, sorting out the messy team.
"Two people in groups, five meters apart."
Like a gliding bat, Snape floated silently behind Harry and Ron, who were chatting happily. Snape rolled up his sleeves, and slapped the two of them on the head with both hands, "Be careful, you two."
Harry and Ron grinned at Snape's leaving back, and Ron asked in puzzlement, "How did he manage to walk so silently?"
Five minutes later, the little wizards lined up in an orderly manner.
"Everyone look at me and chant spells with me." Felix, who re-entered the stage, said, "Be careful not to point your wand at your partner. You should wave your wand in a small range and then stab out quickly, like this ——"
"Disarm you!"
On the stage, a dazzling red light flew out from the magic wand in Professor Haipu's hand like a scorching lightning.
The little wizards lined up in four directions in the audience shouted in unison: "Disarm you!"
"Very good, continue."
"Disarm you!"
"Pay attention to the angle of your wands, continue!"
"Disarm you!"
"Very good," Felix said, "Next is the theoretical knowledge about spells, I will only talk about the most important..."
After about twenty minutes, the little wizards waved their wands in a decent way, but none of them succeeded.
Felix and Snape whispered a few words, and he said, "Little wizards, take out the parchment that was just given to you."
The little wizards took out the parchment for no apparent reason.
"——I exchanged opinions with Professor Snape. Your questions mainly focus on the following seven. I will explain them all, and you can compare them yourself."
"Balke, please come on stage, I need your cooperation."
After speaking for 20 minutes, Felix was a little dry, but he knew in his heart that his words could only work for some masters~IndoMTL.com~ and more little wizards still learn magic with "" Feeling" and "repetition" are the main ones.
So for the next half hour, he and Snape kept weaving through the crowd, giving specific instructions.
"Miss Pate, the speed of your stabbing wand is not decisive enough. Think about my demonstration just now, and then look at the seventh item on the parchment."
"Mr. Warren, your pronunciation of spells is not standard. Yes, spells are not necessary, but you need to be proficient."
"This... Your name is Neville Longbottom? You are too nervous, confidence is very important! Imagine the scene where you successfully complete the spellcasting, yes, I suggest you imagine it twenty times in your mind."
Every ten minutes, he would call a few typical mistakes to demonstrate on stage. Felix found that showing mistakes was more effective than showing correctness—at least, after laughing, many little wizards also realized that Made the same mistake myself.
"Thank you, Neville, your question is very representative. Also, five points from Gryffindor."
"And you, Miss Vera, your movements are too stiff, please don't laugh, if Miss Vera shows a tenth of her talent in ancient runes, she will definitely surprise you all. Five points for Ravenclaw."
"Marcus... Anyway, don't imitate him, we must at least thank him for his courage, five points for Slytherin."
Felix wiped his sweat. The problem of guidance is not terrible. What is terrible is how to maintain the self-esteem of the little wizards as much as possible and praise them in different ways.
'I should prepare a compliment and write down all the reasons I can think of. This way you don’t have to think about it temporarily...’
Finally, an hour and a half after the duel class started, a fifth-year little wizard succeeded.
