Chapter 348: Vanishing Curse

Harry and the others did not let Mike down. They carried forward their usual stab spirit and had a fierce verbal conflict with the professor Umbridge in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class not long afterward.
And Umbridge is also a person who keeps promises, and she has no mercy on this matter.
After a lot of talk, the matter ended with Harry being fined for a week in confinement.
No one paid much attention to this matter. After all, the conflict between Harry and the others with Umbridge and Mike's previous conflict with Umbridge were nothing compared to the intensity of the conflict, not worth mentioning. .
Even Harry himself didn’t care too much, because it’s not that he was imprisoned by Snape because of confinement, and based on his previous experience, the so-called confinement is a punishment. Sexual labor.
What's more, Mike had also been confined by Umbridge before. Judging from his later description, Umbridge's confinement did not seem so terrible.
It can only be said that Harry was too naive, and he quickly paid the price for his innocence.
"Harry, Umbridge didn't trouble you last night."
In the auditorium, Mike sat beside Harry and the others who were having breakfast, and while asking aloud, he looked at the backs of Harry's hands and hands intentionally or unintentionally.
As expected by Mike, there was a faint red mark on the back of Harry’s left hand, which looked like tender meat newly grown after injury, but the color was very light. If you don’t look closely, you will see it. Does not come out.
"It's not too bad, Harry told us that the old witch just fined him to copy sentences."
Ron rushed to answer, and he has cherished the opportunity to communicate with Mike ever since Mike came out for him on the Hogwarts Express.
Hearing that Harry's hand cutting the sausage was also stagnant, and he quietly pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, just covering the scar on the back of his hand.
This makes Mike look a little funny.
Mike, who has read the original book, is very clear that Umbridge’s punishment is not simply copying sentences. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge has mastered many frightening punishment methods, and she herself is also a Extremely cruel man.
The quill she gave Harry to copy sentences was a torture tool brought from the Ministry of Magic.
This special quill pen does not need any ink when writing. Whenever it drops a mark on the parchment, it will automatically draw the same blood mark on the back of the user’s other hand and absorb it. The blood inside was written on parchment as ink.
And this pen also has a very magical effect, that is, the wounds it creates will heal in a very short time, unless it is a short time to write down many repetitive content, otherwise it will not at all Leave no traces.
Mike didn't know if this pen was invented to torture others, but this wonderful feature undoubtedly made it the best tool in Umbridge's hands to punish students.
Mike stared straight at Harry's hand and fell into contemplation, while Harry had some scalp tingling when he stared at him, and he couldn't help asking:
"Mike, what's the matter with you?"
"Huh? Oh! I'm just a little sleepy." Mike casually found an excuse to perfuse, and then asked, "Is what Ron said true? She put you in confinement just for you to copy sentences? "
Harry's expression was a little unnatural, but he nodded silently after being silent for a while.
"Oh, this doesn't seem to be a terrible punishment..."
Listening to Mike's words, the expression on Harry's face grew more distressed, and at the same time his right hand was covering the back of his left hand, as if there was pain.
This made Mike a little bit to laugh, because Harry obviously didn't mean to tell the truth about the matter, and he didn't even want to say the details of the confinement.
Obviously someone would come forward to help him solve this kind of thing, but he just didn't want to say it.
Mike didn't understand this very much, and in the end it could only be classified as a common brain cramp in adolescence.
"I think so too," Ron rushed to answer again, "the only downside is that he can't participate in Quidditch practice because of confinement."
The expression on Ron's face was very complicated, with some melancholy in envy.
After a pause, he continued:
"Mike, the selection of the Quidditch team will start in a while, do you say I want to participate?"
"Huh?" Mike was taken aback for a moment and said instinctively, "Are you going to be a defender?"
"How did you know!?"
Ron looked surprised, but he quickly recovered, and asked with an excited look:
"I almost forgot. You are also a member of the Ravenclaw school team and understand Quidditch. Then you can quickly advise me on the staff. Would you say that I will be successful in the selection this time?"
"Emm..."
Mike was a little speechless, he had seen Ron's goalkeeping skills, it was really hard to describe.
Just when Mike didn't know how to answer, Hermione's voice suddenly came from the side.
"We are going to take the OWL exam this year, and you still want to participate in the Quidditch selection? If you let Mrs. Weasley know that she will take your skin off!"
When Mike heard the reputation, she saw Hermione holding a thick stack of books, walking quickly towards them.
And Ron seemed to think of the way his mother was when he was angry at the moment, and his body trembled suddenly.
"Let me say, Harry, you should also quit the Quidditch team." Hermione sat beside Mike, "This year the OWL exam is the most important for us. I bet that if you use the usual All of your energy on Quidditch has been transferred to study, and you will be able to bring back at least three talents in the end!"
Harry fiddled with the sausages on the plate with a fork, not wanting to pay attention to Hermione.
And Hermione moved her gaze to Mike after shelling Harry and Ron.
Mike was at a loss, but Hermione just snorted and looked away.
This made Ron a little disappointed. He and Harry were often scolded by Hermione in the past few days, and now it is hard to see Hermione scolding others, but Hermione finally gave up.
But he also knows very well that Mike is different from them. Mike doesn't care about the OWL test results at all. His current achievements are beyond their lifetime.
"Are you... unwell?"
Looking at Hermione's anxious look, Mike asked carefully.
How could Hermione not understand Mike's meaning, her face blushed and turned to look at Mike fiercely:
"Take care of yourself! Your next class will be a transformation class. If you can't finish the Vanishing Curse, Professor McGonagall will definitely kill you!"
Mike smiled, and Hermione's reaction undoubtedly confirmed his conjecture.
"I suggest you drink plenty of hot water. Really, this is what Zhou Hong told me. I heard that it is a secret recipe from the ancient East!"
The blush on Hermione's face spread to the base of her ears, and she reached out to hammer Mike, but then the latter swiftly avoided and quickly disappeared into the auditorium.
Listening to Mike's laughter, Hermione's face turned red, and she could not help but cursed secretly:
"rogue!"
...
After molesting Hermione little Lori, Mike was in a good mood, humming a little song all the way to the transfiguration classroom.
This is their first metamorphosis class of this semester. Most of the students are also very relaxed. When Mike arrives in the classroom, all they see are smiling faces.
Obviously, they all felt that even Professor McGonagall would not be too harsh on them in the first class of the new semester.
However, the reality is cruel. When Professor McGonagall entered the classroom at a steady pace, the classroom that was still full of laughter and cursing immediately quieted down.
There is no other reason, Professor McGonagall's expression at this moment is really ugly.
His brows were slightly tufted, his lips were pressed together tightly, and his eyes were still round.
This expression is so familiar to the students. Every time this expression appears on Professor McGonagall's face, it means that they will usher in a storm of scolding.
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall just started quietly in the classroom and said:
"Why didn't you say it? Go on!"
There was silence under the podium, and the big guys bowed their heads and dared not talk.
Professor McGonagall's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he continued when no one dared to speak.
"I can hear your voices downstairs! The owl exam is coming this year, don't you feel a little nervous?!"
The students still lower their heads and dare not talk.
"This is the first class of school. I won't punish you! But if I encounter this kind of situation next time, then all textbooks will be fined for me! Do you know?"
"understood."
There were some weak voices sparsely under the podium.
"What are you talking about?" McGonagall said, "Speak up to me!"
"understood!"
All the students yelled in unison, until then McGonagall nodded in satisfaction and said loudly:
"Well, now please take out "Advanced Transfiguration" and turn to page 104. What we are going to learn today is the Vanishing Curse."
Hearing that, many of the Ravenclaw students who had previewed the entire book immediately looked at each other, all in shock.
The Vanishing Curse is a very difficult transfiguration spell. Its difficulty is definitely one of the best among the spells to be learned this year. Everyone can’t believe that Professor McGonagall let them learn this spell as soon as he came up. !
This... can anyone really learn it?
The small movements of everyone in the audience did not escape Professor McGonagall's eyes.
But she was not angry, because these students had this reaction precisely because they had done a preview and had a certain understanding of the Vanishing Curse.
This is a good thing.
At the same time, she couldn't help but nodded. Ravenclaw is worthy of being an academy, and the proportion of students who did preparatory studies is much higher than that of Gryffindor.
"Huh huh!" Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, and everyone immediately stopped the small movements. "Students who have previewed should already know it? Vanishing spell, this is a very difficult transformation spell. Its effect is very simple. That is to make the living and the dead disappear. After you hear it clearly, it is not invisible or something, but a real disappearance, turning into nothingness, understand?"
Hearing that Mike's eyes narrowed, he raised his hand and said, "Professor, can the Vanishing Curse be used on people? Can the disappeared things or creatures return?"
"Mike, I don't recommend that you use this curse on people, because it will often cause irreversible consequences." McGonagall's eyes were a little scary, as if to warn Mike not to make a mistake, "And the second question about you , My answer is yes! The disappeared items can indeed be recalled, but the curse of recalling it is not in your learning content this year!"
Mike was obviously not satisfied with McGonagall's answer and wanted to continue to ask questions, but McGonagall didn't intend to continue answering.
She completely ignored Mike, took out a big box and gave it to a classmate next to her, and said:
"Distribute it."
"There is a snail in it, and then each of you will receive one. And your task in this class is to try to make it disappear. Strictly speaking, this is not too difficult. After all, a snail is an invertebrate. It is much easier to make it disappear than animals like mice toads."
Soon, everyone got a small snail in their hands.
But McGonagall didn't ask everyone to try it immediately. Instead, he first explained to you many issues such as the spell of the Vanishing Curse (without a trace), the volume and tone required to release the Vanishing Curse and the range of the wand swing.
This class was taught by Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff together. Compared with the members of Ravenclaw, the little badgers, the members were significantly smarter, and their understanding of what Professor McGonagall explained was also faster.
Professor McGonagall didn’t mean to favor Ravenclaw. She demonstrated the trick of the Vanishing Curse over and over again, until she thought everyone should have roughly grasped the main points before listening to it~EbookFREE.me~Good Now, students, please wave your magic wands. "
Following McGonagall's order, the Ravenclaws immediately took out their wands and aimed them at the snail in front of them, while the Hufflepuffs mostly cast their worried eyes on Ravenclaw's side.
Obviously, most of the Hufflepuffs are not very confident about themselves, and they want to see Ravenclaw and demonstrate several times.
"Blanking without a trace!"
Franklin, who was next to Mike, waved his wand impatiently, but the snail in front of him showed no change, and continued to crawl slowly on his desk.
Cursing his lips, Franklin looked around for a while, seeing that all the students around him had failed, and his smile reappeared.
Then he turned his attention to Mike again. There were not many people who looked at Mike like him. Most of these people were guys who failed. They were eager to see if Mike, a great genius, would interact with him. They all fail.
If they fail, then they are comfortable!
Mike naturally also noticed those hot sights. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he slowly took out his wand...
