But it's been almost an hour and Hermione hasn't made any progress."

At this time, Douglas also noticed George and Fred.

Said to Hermione:

"Miss Granger, please take a break first, have a cup of tea and calm down.

This spell itself is a spell that can only be learned in the fifth grade. In fact, I gave you a total of sixteen chances, and you didn't seize any of them.

You are already very proficient in spells, what you need to practice is your eyesight and accuracy.

In real combat, try not to let your spells fail, especially when fighting against wizards who are more powerful than you.

Timing is crucial…”

Hermione took a deep breath.

She has always been proud of her talent in magic, but it seemed a little weak in front of Douglas.

It's not just about age.

The Stunning Spell was originally a spell Hermione made up on the spur of the moment. She had seen this spell before but had never learned it.

But within an hour, Douglas seemed to have opened up a different world of magic for her.

In the past, when learning spells, we focused on understanding the incantation, the hand gestures, and what kind of thoughts and emotions were needed when releasing it.

Then it’s a matter of a lot of practice. Once you’ve figured out the spell, you’ll naturally become more and more proficient at it.

But Douglas did the opposite and first dissected the spell for her, from its origin to the core emotions of the spell, and even why this method was chosen...

Finally, almost as soon as Hermione got the hang of it, she could cast a successful Stunning Spell without strictly following the hand gestures in the book.

Douglas even told her that if she could control her emotions, she could control the power of the stunning spell she used.

A small one can just make people dazed for a moment, while a large one can even be fatal.

"Miss Granger, you must understand that magic power is not necessary to limit the power of magic, but emotions are."

These words were spoken in the soundproof space created by Douglas, where top students always receive special treatment.

Of course, not everyone can learn these methods.

If Hermione didn't have sufficient knowledge and strong comprehension ability, simplifying the spell would be fatal to her now.

Douglas walked to the tea table and said to George and Fred with a smile:

"Isn't your confinement over?

Why are you back again? Did Professor Snape or Professor McGonagall disagree?"

George and Fred felt wronged. They were trained like grandsons by Wood during the day, and had to be put in solitary confinement at night. Even the happiest people would go crazy.

"Professor, Snape..."

"Let's start by reciting the Potions textbook."

"He also said that you are an irresponsible professor."

"Ah, yes, yes, not only is your teaching level low, but your requirements are also low..."

Chapter 113 The Student's Task is to Study

Douglas listened to the two people's story and said lightly:

"Have you two forgotten that Professor Snape was once my professor?

Can you also call Snape by his first name?

Remember to call him Professor Snape next time. This is the minimum respect for a professor."

George and Fred looked at each other.

But after seeing Douglas's unfriendly look, he immediately sat aside and started to copy from memory.

Douglas rested for a while and continued to guide Hermione in practicing spells.

after an hour.

Douglas said to everyone:

"Today's confinement ends here, and from now on the confinement time will be until nine o'clock.

You three stay here, I have something to say."

The others happily handed their dictation to Douglas and left.

George and Fred looked at each other and muttered quietly.

"Have we been abandoned?"

"Apparently, they never chased us away no matter what time it was!"

Douglas glanced at the two of them and said:

"What are you two saying? Do you really think I'm too easy on you?

Would you please also re-record the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, just as Professor Snape requested?"

George and Fred immediately shook their heads and stepped back.

"Goodnight, Professor!"

"Sweet dreams, Professor!"

Looking at the embarrassed figures of George and Fred, Ron couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Douglas looked at him and asked with a forced smile:

"Since Mr. Weasley is smiling so happily, could you please tell me why I should keep the three of you?"

Ron stared, covered his mouth, and shook his head quickly.

Douglas looked at the other two people again.

As a result, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak:

"Harry, tell me, what is your identity?"

Harry raised his head. He was very confused about Douglas's question. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice:

"I'm Harry Potter, Gryffindor, and... uh, no more, Professor."

Douglas then asked the other two people:

"What about you? What do you think your identity is?"

Hermione was also wondering what Douglas meant, and after a moment of hesitation she said:

"Hermione Granger, second year Gryffindor student, representative of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, and Transfiguration?"

Seeing Douglas looking at him, Ron immediately said:

"Hermione and I... No, Harry and I, Professor."

Douglas sneered:

"Oh, if you hadn't told me I would have thought you were Aurors.

Do you still know that you are students?

Have you forgotten the homework you were asked to do in the first class?

You thought Professor Snape was giving you a hard time at noon? Look what you did.

If I really were a dark wizard, you would have been in trouble when you broke into my office with your own cleverness.

I even have plenty of ways to completely remove any traces of you, so that everyone will think that you disappeared on your own in a secret room somewhere in Hogwarts..."

When the three people saw Douglas's appearance, they were so scared that they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Hermione gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say:

"Professor, it's none of their business. I asked them to come with me. Actually, they wanted to find other professors..."

Harry also said quickly: "Ron and I took the initiative to ask to see the professor, and it was Snape who stopped us and said that the professor was sleeping in... I mean, it was Professor Snape who said that."

Harry saw Douglas's eyes and immediately remembered what Douglas had just taught George and Fred, and finally added reluctantly.

Ron saw that Harry had included him in the count, so all he could do was nod, and then add, "We saved the office door!"

Douglas spat inwardly, Snape was not a human being.

Then he said to the three people with a fake smile:

"Why, do you still think you are doing an honorable thing?

Okay, then can you guys explain to me the purpose of your behavior tonight?

Don't say that stupid thing about collecting blessings, or I'll really ask you to go find Professor Snape.

Why don't you speak again?

Do you think I don't know what happened to Quirrell a few months ago?"

The three of them were shocked. Ron asked Harry in a low voice:

"You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"

Hermione stood aside and kicked Ron, squeezing out a word from between her teeth:

"But he told you..."

Ron was very unhappy and muttered: "I'm not someone else!"

Douglas slammed the table:

“What are you talking about?

Let’s not talk about your suspicion that I was possessed by Voldemort.

Just talking about your behavior, do you think Voldemort is stupid?

Or do you think he is old and forgetful?

Why would he be hit by the same trick twice?"

The three little ones looked at each other...

Douglas concluded that they had never thought about it.

Then he said earnestly:

“You are still students, and a student’s task is to study.

Learn spells, learn potions, learn all kinds of things that are related to your future.

Even Voldemort was a very outstanding student and the president of the male student union when he was young.

Look at you all, who thinks he or she can become the president of the male student union in the future?

I'm not as good as him in studying, and yet I expect to beat him in the future!

Or do you plan to use your achievements to make Voldemort laugh to death?"

Ron whispered:

"I think Hermione can be Head Girl in the future...

Besides, Harry beat him last year..."

Hermione muttered awkwardly:

"Thank you for your trust Ron, but please shut up now."

Harry also tugged at Ron, then mustered up the courage to ask Douglas:

"Professor, how do you know about Voldemort..."

Douglas glared at him and said:

“Is this something you should be thinking about right now?

All you need to do is trust your professors.

Report anything to the professor in time!
