Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

There is no mischievous curse in textbooks.

If Adam and Ben could stay in the library longer, they wouldn't be bullied like this.

Sainz has a book called "Basic Spells for Dealing with Hyperactive and Irritable Animals". Many of the spells in it are not very harmful and can be used as prank spells.

"Ben, Adam, let me teach you a tripping spell first. The spell is this: thump - it's really deadly."

"Bang! It's so damn terrible!" x2

"Yes, and you have to coordinate with the wand movements. Yes, that's it. Assume that you have a rope in your hand and throw it out to wrap around the opponent's feet."

"so?"

“Hmm… not quite right, the way you swing it looks more like you’re trying to kill the other person with the knife.

That’s right…Adam’s actions already have that meaning.

Imagine that the wand in your hand is a rope, and your movements should be curved, as if you are swinging a rope.

It's okay, Ben, don't worry, and you too, Adam.

The action of waving a magic wand is easy to practice. I will tie a rope to your wand later. Just swing it a few times and you will be able to master it.

The key is the spell. You see, this spell is easy to understand, isn't it?"

"What?" Ben was still immersed in swinging the rope and didn't react.

"Travel bad luck!" said Adam.

"Yes, it's travel bad luck, which by extension means making the target trip and fall.

Ben, did I make myself clear?"

"Yeah, I mean I understand!"

"Okay, now that we understand the meaning and purpose of the spell, is that enough?

Is there anything missing?"

Adam thought for a moment and said, "That should be it. Say the spell correctly and clearly, and wave the wand correctly. That's what Professor Flitwick said."

"Okay, I'll control this chair to move forward, and you guys try to make it trip.

Now let's practice waving the wand."

Sainz used wisteria to create two ropes and tied them to their wands to form two whips.

With the help of real objects, the two people's wand-waving movements quickly met the requirements.

Sainz used the moving spell to make the chair move, "Adam, Ben, you guys, wait for the right opportunity to use the tripping spell on it."

"Bang! Damn it!" x2

Neither of them succeeded. The tip of the wand just flickered and sprayed out a few flying golden stars.

"It's okay, come again."

"Come again!"

……

……

"Okay, Ben has managed to make the chair pause! Let's pause for a moment.

Ben, what were you thinking when you cast the tripping spell just now?"

"I... I thought that after practicing for so long without any reaction, I wished I could go up and tie up its legs myself!"

"Adam, what about you, what did you think of?"

"I didn't think about anything else. I just waved my wand while chanting the spell, hoping to learn it quickly."

"Did you notice any difference?"

"Ben, said he wished he could go up and tie it up himself."

"That's it. When we perform magic, we must have a clear and strong purpose. Ben's purpose was very strong. He just wanted to tie it up, so the magic was successful."

"I understand, Sainz, you are amazing, Professor Flitwick didn't even mention this!"

"I don't dare to compete with the professors. The professors didn't say these things because we have learned too little magic now and we don't need to know these things yet."

Ben said admiringly, "But you already knew that!"

Sainz did not deny it, “I said, reading more books is still useful.

Then do you want to join me in the future?"

Ben and Adam looked at each other, and got the answer from each other's faces, shaking their heads like rattles.

"No! You are all we need."

"Yeah, I started to feel nauseous as soon as I got to the library, and I couldn't help wanting to run when I saw Madam Pince, but forget it."

"Okay, I respect your choice.

Well, you already know the tripping spell, just practice it more in the future, and I will tell you another leg-locking spell, the spell is..."

…………

The second day's exam was about Transfiguration, which was still a theory exam in the morning and a practical exam in the afternoon.

The afternoon test was to turn a pencil into a quill, and the more beautiful it was, the higher the score. Sainz got a perfect score without a doubt.

While eating, Ben said excitedly, "Have you heard that a second-year student in Slytherin was deducted 20 points this morning for trying to cheat in the exam."

"Why only 20 points deducted? He's cheating! It must be Snape, he always favors students from his own college." Adam angrily poked a piece of steak with a fork.

"I support you brother! But this time you wrongly accused Snape. It was Professor Flitwick."

Ben chuckled, “That Slytherin is so stupid!

Even we knew that there was an anti-cheating spell on the quills issued by the school, and of course he knew it too.

He tried to bring his own quill into the examination room, but was discovered by Professor Flitwick at the door. Not only did he fail to cheat, but he was deducted 20 points.

Adam felt a little regretful. "I really hope Professor Flitwick didn't find out at first. If he was caught cheating during the exam, I'm sure Snape would be very upset."

Ben was also looking forward to it, "That's for sure, maybe he will fire him himself!"

The herbal medicine exam was on the third day. The theoretical test in the morning was very simple. In the afternoon, everyone was in Greenhouse No. 1 changing the soil and trimming the leaves of the angelica plant on their own. The prerequisite was to ensure that they would not be hurt by it, otherwise points would be deducted.

Lovage is a magical plant similar to celery. If you are not careful when taking care of it, you may be affected by it and become impatient and reckless.

Sainz guessed that the purpose of using this test on the little wizard was to tell him that he must not be impatient when cultivating magical plants and must be careful of the unintentional influence of magical plants.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts exam on Thursday was a fixed theoretical test in the morning. Most of the questions were about the basic characteristics of dark magic and were very basic.

The examiner for the afternoon exam was Professor Quirrell, who lifted a velvet black cloth covering a container.

Below that was a large 500 ml beaker, half filled with black stuff.

"Autumn, I need you to identify what this is?"

"Can I come up and watch?"

"Of course, that's the way it should be." Professor Quirrell smiled broadly, and nodded for him to come over to the table.

Looking at the sunny and positive Professor Quirrell, Sainz could not connect the cheerful and confident young man in front of him with the stuttering ambitious man later.

After calming himself down, he walked to the table and looked into the beaker.

"It's a hairy crab, professor."

From a distance it looked like some black ointment, but when I looked closer I saw that it was actually half a cup of densely packed tiny bugs.

A single hairy crab is about one millimeter long, looks like a crab, and has long teeth.

Very easy to identify.

"Yes, they are hairy crabs. So, Autumn, what harm can they do?"

“They’ll damage the magic items professor.

They are attracted to magic, often living under the fur or feathers of animals such as cruppies or auguries.

If they accidentally invade a wizard's residence, they will gnaw on any magical items they can touch, especially powerful items like wands, until they get into the magic center of the magic item, eventually causing damage to the magic item.

People should be wary of uncleanly cleaned cauldrons, as they will consume any potion residue left in them, which may be a gateway for them to invade wizarding homes."

"Great! Autumn, so how should we deal with them?" Professor Quirrell encouraged him to say more.

"Professor, there are many special potions in the market to deal with them. Any one of them is enough. If there is no special potion, the freezing spell is also a good choice.

Some hairy crabs, after eating too much magical material, can grow to be very large, and this is when the Ministry of Magic's Creature Management and Control Division's Pest Branch needs help."

"Perfect!"
