Chapter 56 Two Feet
Originally, Fred and George, who wanted to make a last ditch effort, failed to master the descaling spell in one night. Of course, what made them give up completely was Albert's words: Filch may not allow you to use magic.
The next day, in the Charms class, Professor Flitwick checked everyone's practice. Compared with Gryffindor students, very few Hufflepuff students had successfully mastered the Luminous Spell.
Professor Flitwick took five minutes to review the content taught in the previous class, and then began to teach the counter-curse of the Luminous Curse, the Extinguishing Curse.
"The Extinguishing Curse can not only extinguish the glowing spell on the wand, it can also extinguish ordinary light sources." Professor Flitwick pointed to a candle on the table, picked up the wand and tapped it lightly, "No. kes.”
The candle flame went out, as if someone had stretched out a hand to snuff it out.
"As you can see, the incantation of the Extinguishing Curse is Nox, which is also adapted to extinguish burning flames."
"Lightsing." After Professor Flitwick recited the incantation, a pale light lit up on the top of the wand, "Knox." After Professor Charms recited the incantation again, the light on the wand disappeared again.
After Professor Flitwick finished teaching the class about the Extinguishing Curse, he left the remaining time for everyone to practice the spell.
“Lumos…Knox.” Albert succeeded after trying several times. In order to further verify the effect of the spell, he also turned himself into a candle. After lighting it, he began to try to extinguish the flame on the candle.
“I also succeeded.” Lee Jordan was in a good mood. After practicing the spell more than a dozen times, the spell successfully extinguished the light on the wand, and then imitated Albert to extinguish the wax fire.
According to Professor Flitwick's description, extinguishing a raging fire is more difficult than extinguishing a glowing spell.
“So angry!” Fred was still working hard to master the glowing spell, not just him, but also some students in the class.
In the end, only three people succeeded in extinguishing the light on the wand, and Hufflepuff's Diggory was one of them.
Before the end of the Charms class, Professor Flitwick gave everyone a new homework assignment. Write a paper on the Luminous Spell and the Extinguishing Spell. It needs to be at least two feet long and is due before class next Monday.
George muttered under his breath: "Two feet long, Professor Flitwick must be crazy!"
For little wizards who have basically never written a paper, or have never touched a quill, writing a two-foot-long parchment is a difficult challenge, even if they want to find a bunch of words to fill two feet. Even long parchment paper is not easy.
"Actually, this kind of paper report is very simple." Albert glanced at George with a strange look, "You just need to copy the origins of the Luminous Curse and the Lights-Out Curse, and then write something about your study of the Luminous Curse. If you encounter problems at the time, go to the library to find some knowledge about this aspect and copy it, and finally write some summary report or something, which is two feet long and barely readable.
Actually, Albert knew very well that Professor Flitwick did not expect the freshmen to do well in their first homework assignment.
To put it bluntly, this paper is just to let everyone know more about the Luminous Spell and the Lights-Out Spell, and to deepen everyone's understanding and use of the spells.
In his last life, Albert wrote a lot of similar stuff when he was in college. Although it has been a long time, he still understands it.
“Is it that simple?” Li Qiaodan’s eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.
Halfway, while several people were discussing the homework for this spells class, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
“Are you sure what he said is correct?” A Hufflepuff student interjected in a strange tone.
"At least, it sounds much more reliable, doesn't it..." Fred and George looked at each other, walked to the Hufflepuff student, each stretched out his arm around the man and said, "Maybe, Albert has already Get a little hint from Professor Flitwick."
"Let me go." The Hufflepuff student struggled hard, but could not break away from the Weasley twins, and was firmly held by the two.
"Oh, okay, don't be nervous." Fred let go of the other person, reached out and patted his shoulder twice. He couldn't help but feel proud as he watched the guy quickly run into the Hufflepuff team. laughed.
“Stop it,” Digory warned, glaring at the twins.
"We didn't do anything, Digory. We just had a simple communication with him." The twins put their arms around each other's shoulders and said, "We didn't do anything, but who knew he suddenly became so nervous? .”
"Okay, let me go." Digory also looked helpless. Of course, he knew that the twins' friendly way of communication meant no harm to him, but others didn't think so.
“He looks frightened by you.” Li Qiaodan couldn’t help but whisper.
“Don’t talk nonsense, we didn’t scare him. Be careful to sue you for slander.” Fred and George looked like we didn’t do anything and he was scaring himself.
In fact, they really didn’t do anything.
Albert was amused, and now he suddenly wanted to laugh. However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the twins did. After all, they didn't do anything and it was the other party who misunderstood.
“Speaking of which, when will we have flying lessons?” Angelina suddenly asked.
"I'm not sure. It's said that Gryffindor freshmen will be notified on the bulletin board in the lounge when they take flying lessons on Thursday afternoon." Fred thought for a while and then said, "Charlie is recruiting new players recently. , if you like Quidditch, you can give it a try. Substitute players have the opportunity to get in touch with broomsticks, but if you want to become a regular player, you need to rely on yourself."
“When?” Angelina asked with her eyes shining.
George said without hesitation: "You can go to the Quidditch pitch to chat with Charlie this afternoon."
“You’re not really going to join the Quidditch team!” Alia looked at her roommate in surprise.
“Well, I want to give it a try.”
“There will be a Transfiguration class later.” Zannah muttered quietly, “I hope Professor McGonagall won’t give us any more homework.”
However, everyone is destined to be disappointed.
Even if Professor McGonagall doesn't leave them with homework, they still have to continue practicing Transfiguration.
However, Professor McGonagall said that they will check the progress of turning matches into needles next week. If they still can't change the matches, someone may be really out of luck.
