Chapter 4113 4115【Freezing Curse】
After finishing the Potions class, everyone left the greenhouse with sweat on their heads, dirt on their bodies, and sore backs, and returned to Hogwarts Castle.
Next, Gryffindor students will have to take Transfiguration class, while Ravenclaw students will have to take History of Magic.
Professor Binns, who teaches the history of magic, lectures in a scripted manner and in a drawl, which makes everyone feel drowsy, and many people are already lying on the table to catch up on their sleep.
Professor Binns turned a blind eye to this and continued to teach his class.
Although Xiang Nan didn't sleep, he didn't listen to his nagging. He was reading the book he just borrowed from the library. In the next year, he will strive to read all the books in the library, so time waits for no one.
The first class in the afternoon was Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall brought a bunch of beetles and asked the students to turn them into buttons. Xiang Nan completed it easily, gaining ten points for Ravenclaw.
The other students probably came here to have fun during the summer vacation, and none of them successfully transformed.
When Joey was performing the transformation technique, he didn't even know what kind of magic he used. He poked the beetle until it swelled up to the size of a basketball, and then popped like a balloon.
The beetle's internal organs and juice were all over the room, even on the heads, faces, and clothes of classmates and professors. It was sticky, wet, and extremely disgusting.
Several female classmates vomited on the spot, further adding to the chaotic situation, which made Professor McGonagall very unhappy.
It was Xiang Nan who stepped forward and used cleaning spells, disappearing spells, etc. to clean up the chaotic scene, which also added ten points to Ravenclaw.
…
The second class in the afternoon is spells class.
What they learned in this class was the freezing spell, which is a spell that stops the movement of people or things and is of great practical value. Professor Slughorn even used it to disable Muggle burglar alarms, which could be stopped with a freeze spell.
In order to facilitate teaching, Flitwick found a group of rats and asked the students to try to use the freezing spell to stop the rats in the cage. Xiang Nan did it easily.
He just waved his hand and the mouse stood still, like a sculpture. This made Professor Flitwick very satisfied and earned Ravenclaw another ten points.
But Samuel Parkinson of Slytherin, when he cast the freezing spell, somehow managed to set the cage on fire in one go.
The mouse escaped from the broken cage with flames on it, scaring the students into hiding. Those female classmates even screamed because of this.
"Freeze it quickly~" Xiang Nan waved his hand and the mice scurrying around the room stopped.
With another move of his hand, a clear spring gushes out, extinguishing the fire on the mouse and the mouse cage. Then he waved his hand again, and the mouse floated up and was returned to the cage.
"Recover as before~" Xiang Nan cast the recovery spell again, and the mouse cage became the same as before.
His outstanding performance made Professor Flitwick very satisfied and added another ten points to Ravenclaw.
…
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is taught by the new teacher Tim Brown, who is about fifty years old, average-looking, and graduated from the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Eastern Europe.
It is said that he came to Hogwarts to teach because it was the only job he could find. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is said to have been cursed by Voldemort. Therefore, all professors will have various accidents within a year of teaching, ranging from injuries to death. Therefore, few people are willing to take it. this work.
Tim Brown came here from the wizarding world of Eastern Europe and couldn't find a good job for a while, so he took over the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
And his class was very good. In the first class, he taught the students how to deal with the dark creature-the female ghost.
Female ghosts, also known as hags, are representatives of evil and cruelty. They look like skinny old women, but in fact they are dark creatures with vicious hearts.
The best way to deal with female ghosts is to use the "mirror spell". Because the female ghost looks very ugly, but she is also very narcissistic and thinks that she is the most beautiful person in the world.
The mirror spell can turn any flat surface into a shining mirror. When the time comes, the female ghost will panic and run away when she sees her ugly appearance.
Therefore, the easiest way to tell whether an old witch is a real old witch or a female ghost is to see if she dares to look in the mirror.
Tim Brown then demonstrated the mirror spell. He lightly tapped the blackboard with his wand, and the blackboard immediately turned into a mirror, with light that could be used to identify people.
The classmates also learned a lesson later, and only Xiang Nan turned the flat parchment paper into a foldable mirror. The other students basically failed. The best students just make the parchment smoother.
"Ten points added to Ravenclaw." Tim Brown said with a smile, "Students, continue to practice after class. The mirror spell is still a very practical skill. You will definitely get it in the final exam. Everyone must learn to use it..."
…
Turning around, there was herbal medicine class in the morning and potions class in the afternoon.
In herbal medicine class, students have to take care of poisonous tentacles.
Poisonous tentacles are also a very dangerous plant. Its tentacles will wave like the tentacles of squid and octopus. Once they touch the prey, the tentacles will immediately wrap around it tightly and inject venom into the prey, killing it. .
The prey then becomes its nourishment and helps it develop further, just like pitcher plants, flytraps, etc.
Fortunately, the poisonous tentacles they have to take care of are still in the seedling stage. Even if it is entangled by poisonous tentacles, it will not be entangled to death. However, once its venom is injected into the body, it will still cause redness, swelling and stinging, so it is still very dangerous.
What Xiang Nan and others have to do today is to help fertilize the poisonous tentacles. Use a small shovel to dig up the soil in the pot, and then sprinkle some of the Moon Chi Beast's feces into it.
This kind of fertilizer will make the poisonous tentacles grow stronger, and when they mature, one leaf is worth ten galleons and is an important material for refining the elixir of blessing.
"Everyone must be careful, wear your gloves, and avoid the tentacles of the poisonous tentacles. I don't want you to be stabbed to the point of grinning." Professor Sprout reminded.
Everyone then began to fertilize the poisonous tentacles according to Professor Sprout's instructions.
For Xiang Nan, this job is not difficult. Although the poisonous tentacles are poisonous, they don't move very fast, so you can easily avoid them as long as you're not careless.
Of course, even if you can't escape and are entangled by the poisonous tentacles, wearing dragon skin gloves on your hands can prevent you from being stung by the poisonous stings, so this job is not difficult to do.
But he couldn't resist someone who was really stupid. Peter Pettigrew was careless for a moment, and his ears were grabbed by the poisonous tentacles, and then he was stung hard.
His ears suddenly became red and swollen, causing him to cover his ears in pain and scream.
