Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 37: Charms

Chapter 37 Charms Lesson

 About 8:30, Albert's three roommates walked into the auditorium sleepily.

“Good morning!” Lee Jordan muttered, sitting next to Albert, stuffing a big mouthful of sausage into his mouth, “I feel like my legs are going to break.”

"It's not as exaggerated as you said!" Albert closed the "Nineteenth Century Spells" in his hand and put it back in his backpack, reaching out and patting Li's shoulder, "You just exercised too much. Otherwise, I will take you to the campus hospital. , ask them to get you some medicine?"

 “Forget it!” When he heard about the school hospital, Li Qiaodan suddenly shivered, fearing that the other party would really pull him over.

The twin brothers sitting next to Li Jordan couldn't help but laugh. Fred, who was eating a golden omelette, suggested: "I'm telling you... give your legs a few hard slaps, which can greatly relieve the pain."

 George then said: "I can help you, for free."

 “You are still not human!” Li Qiaodan glared at the twins dissatisfied and began to eat breakfast alone.

“Stop making trouble and eat quickly. The first class is about to start, and I don’t want to be late on the first day of school.” Albert reminded

While they were dining, a stocky man with red hair came over. He sat down next to the twins and asked with a smile: "Are you still used to school life?"

"Charlie, the Quidditch team is going to start practicing early in the morning?" George looked at the other party's dress in disbelief.

“It’s just a simple warm-up. After all, everyone hasn’t touched a ball during the summer vacation.” Charlie said matter-of-factly, “This year, I must win the Quidditch trophy.”

Albert next to him couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this, "Young man, you are really too young. Don't you know that you will die quickly if you set the flag?"

"By the way, Charlie, are there still people missing in the team? Can we join the Quidditch team? George and I can be batsmen. You know our level."

"Don't even think about it. You have just entered school and you won't be able to join the Quiz ball until the second grade." Charlie said seriously, "If you can pass the assessment next semester, I will allow you to join the team, but not this semester."

"There are always exceptions, right?" The twins winked at their second brother and continued, "You can also join in the first grade, as long as you are good enough at Quiz."

 “Who said that?” Charlie Weasley asked angrily. Even if he is the Quidditch captain, he can't act too recklessly.

  After all, the Quidditch captain is responsible for the entire Gryffindor student body, so even if he loses the game, he will be unable to hold his head high in the academy if his selfishness fails too badly.

 The twins suddenly looked at Albert.

 “What do you see me doing?” Albert asked in confusion.

 Charlie also followed the twins' gazes and looked at Albert, and then he became even more confused, having no idea what these two weird guys were doing.

"The selection of players ended yesterday. You can wait until next year to try to join the team. Well, you can be a substitute for the batter this year, but don't expect to be able to play." Charlie Weasley coughed lightly and said I won't favor my own guys in this regard.

 In fact, the batsmen in the team will graduate next year, so it is a good idea to train them in advance. Charlie also knew the level of George and Fred very well, at least they were more knowledgeable than others.

"Then we can also participate in training?" The twins' eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"You guys should be free today...in the afternoon, right?" Charlie thought for a while and said, "In the afternoon, I'll see...go to the Quidditch pitch at 4:30 in the afternoon. I'll give you a feel first, and you're not allowed to cause trouble for me."

 “We know.” The twins nodded in unison.

Before the bell rang for class, several people hurriedly left the hall and headed to the magic classroom on the fourth floor. Since they had already arrived in advance the day before yesterday, the four of them found the spell classroom easily this time.

Gryffindor's Charms class was held with Hufflepuff students. When they walked into the classroom, there were already many students inside.

 Sanna and Angelina also arrived early and were sitting at the table in the front row chatting with others.

The good seats in the front row of the classroom were all taken up, and the four of them could only choose seats in the back row. Albert didn't care. He sat with Li Jordan, and the Weasley twins sat next to them.

Professor Flitwick entered the classroom at the second bell. The Charms Professor was indeed surprisingly small in stature and should have part of the goblin bloodline as rumored.

Due to his lack of height, Flitwick had to stand on a pile of books to reach the desk during class, but no one cared, and no one laughed at his short height.

Of course, everyone will be somewhat curious about the height of this professor.

Before the class started, Professor Flitwick took out the roster and started calling the names, which gave Albert the sense of immediacy that the roll call had in college.

 In the first period of the Charms class, the short Charms professor showed everyone the magic of spells. He made several books on the table dance happily, and then jumped higher and higher, forming a row in front of everyone, dancing to a certain rhythm, all that was missing was a beautiful piece of music.

When everyone's attention was attracted by the books dancing in the air, the books returned to their original shape and fell neatly back on the desk in front of Professor Flitwick.

 Warm applause broke out immediately, and the students were all attracted by this magical scene and wanted to start learning spells right away.

"If you want to achieve this level, you still need to learn a lot of things." Professor Flitwick said after the applause ended, "Now, open the textbook and turn to the third page. You need to master some theories of magic first. It will help you better master and use magic spells in the future."

For most of the next time, Professor Flitwick talked about the theory of spells and asked the students to take down a lot of complicated and difficult notes. He also repeatedly emphasized the method of waving the wand and the correct pronunciation of the spell. importance.

While Albert was concentrating on taking notes, he felt Li Jordan nudged him with his elbow several times.

"What's wrong?" Albert turned his head helplessly and asked in a low voice.

Li Jordan pointed to the twins at the next table. The two were pointing at Albert's quill.

 Needless to say, Albert already knew what they meant.

Those two guys didn't bring quills to class. They were really impressed.

 Albert put his quill on the table and whispered the copying spell.

 “Give me one by the way.” Lee Jordan scratched the back of his head and said.

 “You didn’t bring it either, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Li Qiaodan chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid of disturbing you in taking notes. When you finish taking notes, just lend me a copy."

Not only did the corners of Albert's mouth twitch, but Angelina and Aaliya in front of them looked at them with strange eyes.

Of course, Professor Flitwick on the podium also noticed it, but he didn't say much and continued to explain to them some of the curse theories that were not in the book.
