Vol 2 Chapter 511: ? Homework (modified, sincere thanks to the leader Rongwang)

That night, Allen left the tower happily and went to the deck to overlook, enjoying the last night before arriving at Durmstrang College. The sea breeze at night made his mind sober, and the sea rushed against the ship’s side. The hull groaned, all of which sounded wonderful to Allen's ears, even the smell of salty seawater seemed to have a romantic mood.
It wasn't until a wet owl rolled and fell in front of Allen that Allen recovered from this rare and relaxing time.
Alan kindly used magic to dry the feathers of this poor owl. It was not easy to find himself on this constantly moving ship in the North Sea. Thinking of this, he fed this owl again. For the tuna, only some good meat on the belly and chin was selected for it.
Touching the little thing's head, Allen removed the letter from its legs and found that the envelope had his own family's fire-lacquered seal. If the letter were to be unlocked without a special spell, it would be like a roaring letter— -Self-destruct and burn after the roar.
Although a little strange, Alan took out his wand and prepared to untie the lacquer seal. But when he aimed his wand at the lacquer seal, he hesitated for a moment, and Allen felt that Luna's previous words were reasonable. So he put the wand back into the device in his arm, used the spell instead of wandless cast, and then unfolded the letter.
After a quick scan, Allen pondered for a moment, unfolded the letter again, read it carefully, and frowned. Holding the parchment, Allen walked back and forth on the deck a few times, then sat back at the table and wrote back to his father.
He pulled over a piece of parchment paper, dipped the eagle feather quill in ink, and just wrote the beginning, the right hand holding the quill stopped. He rubbed his temples with his knuckles, his expression tangled, and finally crumpled the parchment paper and pushed it to the side of the table.
After thinking about it, he took the crumpled parchment back again, and lighted the letter paper with his magic wand. The parchment floated up and burned on its own from the lower right corner in the air, turned into ashes, and scattered in the sea. Allen stood up a little melancholy and decided to think for a while before replying to his father.
The next day, Harry’s most anticipated course at Hogwarts was Defense Against the Dark Arts, not only because he was quite talented in this subject, but also the only subject that could get an O in all his homework. Because the professor of this course is Lupin.
With this expectation, even if it takes a potions class to attend the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it will not break Harry's good mood.
Professor Lu Ping likes to lead everyone to the practical class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the length of his papers is quite moderate, so his class is widely loved by little wizards.
When Harry came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, a familiar wardrobe was placed against the wall in the classroom. As more and more people entered the classroom, the closet shook violently and banged against the wall.
"Bogut?" Ron guessed strangely. "We learned how to deal with Bogut in the third grade?"
There was a very loud and impatient smack behind him, it was Hermione. She got the news of Alan’s attack from Mr. Owen Harris.
"What are you smacking at us?" Ron said angrily.
"Nothing," Hermione said coldly.
"You just slapped your lips." Ron said, "I said I don't know why I have to learn Bogut again, and then you—"
"Isn't that something to understand?" The superiority of Hermione's face made Ron even more annoyed.
"If you don't want to tell us, don't say it." Ron said grimly.
"Very good," Hermione said haughtily, and strode to the other end of the classroom.
"She doesn't know," Ron said angrily at Hermione's back, and said in a daze. "Ellen has left. She has no friends anymore. She just wants me to talk to her again."
"I think you think too much, Ron." Harry blinked. "Obviously, Professor Lupin will not teach us to deal with Bogut again. It is very likely that dealing with it is not easy to find, but it is very scary. Things. For example, he used Bogut to teach me to use the patron saint."
"Harry is right, we are going to learn the Patronus Charm in this lesson." Professor Lupin's voice came from behind Harry.
"Professor Lupin." Harry and Ron turned around at the same time, shouting in unison.
Professor Lu Ping happily summoned the little wizards to surround him, "The spell I will demonstrate and teach you in a while is a very advanced magic, far beyond the level of ordinary wizards. This spell is called the Guardian Spell. , Its main function is to defend against dementors, and according to the book "Where are Fantastic Beasts", the patron curse is also the only known magic that can expel the Voldebat called the corpse cloth A creature's spell. In addition, if you have enough talent and high-level mana, after you have fully mastered this spell, it can also be used to deliver messages, allowing your patron saint to deliver the words you want to say."
The little wizards became restless. They had long envied the little wizards in the training class for mastering this spell, and now they have the opportunity to learn.
The members of the intensive training class are also very happy. Except for the junior members, almost all of them have mastered this curse, which can save time to learn other more advanced knowledge. The regular teaching content of the school has become less and less satisfactory for them.
"The patron saint is a positive force, and its spell is—" Lupin cleared his throat, "Call God to protect!"
"Call the gods and guard," the little wizards repeated in Lupin's tone, "call the gods and guard."
"To recite this spell, you must focus all your thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, or when you have a strong will to guard, then this spell will take effect." Professor Lu Ping explained.
The little wizards racked their brains thinking about the happy moments, waving their wands repeatedly to practice the spell.
When their pronunciation and movements were basically accurate, Professor Lupin asked Harry to walk into the middle of the classroom to demonstrate the spell for everyone.
Professor Lu Ping grabbed the rattling cabinet door handle and pulled it out. A dementor slowly emerged from the box. The lights in the classroom flashed a few times, and a bone marrow-infiltrating chill enveloped the classroom. ...
When the little wizards ate chocolate and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and came under the sun outside the castle, the sense of prostration facing the dementors stayed away from them.
"Hermione and Harry both scored ten points for Gryffindor, and we got twenty points all at once." Neville said happily.
"But I am more worried that if Professor Lupin uses the same criteria to judge Ravenclaw or Slytherin-almost all members of that training class are in these two academies. If you can use the Patronus Charm, you can get For extra points... However, everyone in our academy performed very well. No one was timid when facing Dementors, not as embarrassed as those Hufflepuffs. "Thinking of this Ron’s performance on himself satisfaction. Although he didn't feel the patron saint curse, he felt very brave, at least he didn't cry like Hannah Abbot, did he? Ron was smug.
"Have you seen it? Professor Lupin praised my curse for being so handsome." Seamo yelled.
"Boom!!! If there is no such explosion in the end." Dean imitated the loud noise caused by Seamus just now.
The Gryffindors all around laughed. Although apart from Harry and Hermione, Parvati Pettil, the best performer in their group, just cast a little white gas from the wand, but this does not prevent the a little scary and exciting Defense Against the Dark Arts class from becoming a favorite. A favorite course in the hearts of the little lions during the actual combat exercise.
Even Neville, who behaves badly as always, likes to take the course taught by this very kind and friendly Professor Lupin the most, especially before he goes through the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, in the potions class, he was caught by Snape After being treated as a typical devastation again, Lupin, who is good at encouraging losers, has become his idol in his eyes.
In the afternoon, in the storm, the little wizards ushered in the first game of the Hogwarts Quidditch season-Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff.
"Hufflepuff can't beat Ravenclaw," Ron pouted, "especially when Cedric has already graduated."
"I guess they will lose at least two hundred points." George said.
"But if they beat Ravenclaw..."
"Impossible, Ravenclaw is too good, and Hufflepuff hasn't had time to complete the reconstruction."
As they said, Ravenclaw won with a big score without any suspense. In the wind and rain, the Hufflepuff players wearing pale yellow robes left the field with their heads low.
Harry feels that what needs attention is definitely not the result of this game, but Ravenclaw's tactics and strategies in this game. They seem to be using the Hufflepuff team to test their usual training results. Although it looks a little rusty, these Ravenclaws constantly change and use various professional tactics that can only be seen when the Wizards TV broadcasts the professional club Quidditch game. Their players also Have the courage to try various difficult personal actions. Harry feels that Gryffindor is against Hufflepuff now without Cedric ~EbookFREE.me~ It is not a big problem to win, but he wants to open such a big score like Ravenclaw. , It can only be done with their best style of play.
After the game, watching Hermione, who was talking to Alan’s sister Emily at Slytherin College, Harry was puzzled and surprised at how Hermione was watching them today. Hermione had indeed read Quidditch books in the first grade before and memorized them all, but maybe because her flying talents did not perform as good as other courses in flying lessons, even if He Min often cheers for herself and Allen off the court, but in fact she is not too interested in the actual game, but this time it is surprising that even Harry himself can’t match Hermione’s Quidditch tactics. training.
The Ravenclaws showed some professional tactics. Although Harry and the others have heard it, and have seen some actual use in the game because of the broadcast of Wizard TV recently, he himself did not understand the principle.
But during the game, Hermione was able to explain the principles clearly on the sidelines, and even their next arrangements could be predicted in advance. In line with the performance of the Ravenclaws on the court, Harry felt I have learned a lot of knowledge that I can't see in books.
Thinking of this, Harry finally couldn't help but speak to Hermione: "Hermione, how come you suddenly understand Quidditch like this?"
"My brother loves Quidditch, especially this year when he became the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team to help develop the team's training plan and tactics, he always forced Hermione to watch videos with him, no She was not allowed to do her homework after watching." Emily's voice came from behind Hermione: "Brother is not fair at all. I have to finish my homework before watching TV."
