Chapter 147 Front Teeth Unchanged
The fourth-grade classes are not just about the Transfiguration class that has become more difficult.
The Magical Creatures Department was still looking after the Blast-Ended Skrewt, but now it was three feet long and incredibly strong. They are no longer fleshy, carapaceless, and colorless, but have grown a thick, shiny, gray-white armor-like thing. They look somewhere between a giant scorpion and an elongated crab, but still can't tell where the head and eyes are. They are now extremely powerful and difficult to control.
Hagrid asked the students to tie a snail with a rope and take it for a walk. As the course progressed, from time to time, a frightening crackling sound was heard, and the tail of a bomb-ended snail exploded, pushing the snail forward several meters. More than one student was dragged to the ground by it. Struggling desperately to stand up.
Since the last time Schelling spoke for Hagrid, the relationship between Schelling and Hagrid has also eased slightly (Hagrid hated the Malfoy family in the original book). This time, Xie Lin took advantage of the class time to hold Daphne's little hand, and the two of them walked and chatted while sliding lobsters, which was a rare warm and comfortable experience. Although Hagrid saw it, he didn't say a word.
The other poor Slytherins had to deal with a blast-ended skrew each, and they were all in agony.
After the class ended, both Slytherin and Gryffindor were full of complaints.
The Charms class is about summoning spells. This spell is not difficult to pronounce or gesture. What is really difficult is the ability to clearly visualize what you want in your mind.
For example, if you want to summon a Firebolt, you must visualize the Firebolt in your mind. The more detailed the details, the better. Secondly, there is the limitation of magic power. It is no problem for fourth grade students to master this magic spell, but it is impossible to master it.
Most magic items have their own magic resistance. Unless you are the original owner of the item like Harry, it is difficult to summon other people's magic items. If you want to break through this limitation, you must at least have Auror magic levels.
Another limitation is that magical creatures, including magical animals and magical plants, also have their own magic resistance. At the level of a fourth grader, the best he can do is summon a Flobber caterpillar.
Not to mention, the summoning curse actually carries certain dangers. In 1743, the famous anti-Muggle activist Gideon Flevorhy tried to use a summoning spell to summon the produce of nearby Muggle farmers, thinking that he could take it for himself. The result may be that he used too much force when casting the spell. He was beaten to death by the haystacks and cattle that were summoned.
(Note: Gideon Flevorthy comes from "The Book of Curses" and is an anti-Muggle activist who opposes wizards' need to lift and pick up anything like Muggles)
Of course, Slytherin's little wizard has been trained repeatedly by Schelling in the past three semesters, and his performance is not bad, even better than most of the eaglets in the same class. I heard that Harry and Neville from the other class behaved so badly that they were punished by Professor Flitwick with extra homework.
During the Charms Club activities, a new member appeared—a fifth-year Ravenclaw senior, Zhang Qiu.
The spells learned in the Charms Club are generally spells that are not included in the syllabus of the 7-year magic education. Instead, they learn some unpopular spells, just like extracurricular supplementary learning in the Muggle world. In this event, Professor Flitwick guided the advanced application of the Patronus Charm. As we all know, summoning a physical guardian spirit to drive away dark creatures is only its most basic use.
The patron saint is actually an aggregation of emotions of happiness and protection, and is a manifestation of the soul of the caster. It can be used to do other things, such as letting the patron saint replace the message, such as allowing the patron saint to enter unknown places to explore, and some small and concealed patron saints can even be used for reconnaissance purposes.
One of the topics Schelling is researching is how to implant sanity in the patron saint. He obtained part of Merlin's memory. Although this is not equivalent to Merlin's knowledge, he can benefit from Merlin's way of thinking and inspiration for magic spells.
He didn't know how Merlin implanted sanity in Peeves, but he knew Merlin's usual habits and procedures when improving or creating spells. This was enough for Schelling.
As the two closest students in the club (other members of the club are NEWT students), Xie Lin is responsible for practicing with Zhang Qiu - Zhang Qiu is recognized as the most popular beauty in Hogwarts, so Xie Lin immediately gained He received many envious and jealous looks, including Cedric Diggory, who ranked second on the list of girls’ dream lovers, and Roger Davis, who ranked third.
Zhang Qiu actually has quite a lot of talent, but he just spends too much time practicing Quidditch. Under Xie Lin's careful guidance, she finally succeeded in getting rid of all the bad habits of casting spells in the past, such as excessively exaggerated and forceful wand gestures, such as chanting spells that pursued standard pronunciation...
Slowly, she found the most optimized method of casting spells that suited her. Although she couldn't get her patron saint to speak in the end, her swan patron saint actually knew how to circle around her instead of just moving forward. rush. Among the club members, this was barely considered a first-tier performance. At least Professor Flitwick was full of praise for this new member.
In the rest of the time, Xie Lin began to race against time to study "The Secret of Human Transfiguration" and "Abatail Volume 4", using nutritional potions to replace three meals, using uplifting potions to replace sleep, as well as the hourglass of time, the wisdom of wisdom. Crowns and other means are all used. He has never been so hungry for strength!
Body Transfiguration, as the name suggests, is aimed at the transformation of the human body.
A master of transformation, he can transform himself into the appearance of anyone at will, including his figure, face, and even the clothes he is wearing.
This is simply an advanced version of Disguise Magus and Polyjuice Potion. In the Fantastic Beasts movie, Grindelwald was able to disguise himself as Percival Graves for a long time and sneak into the Magical Congress of the United States of America, which is full of elite Aurors, without arousing suspicion. It is simply amazing.
Of course, Xie Lin, who has already inspired the talent of the "Disguise Magus" bloodline, can also do this.
However, after some research by Schelling, he discovered that, except for the difference between nature and nurture, human body transformation and disguise magus, although they sound similar in effect, are actually quite different.
Disguise Magus is a kind of blood magic that can freely change the appearance through magic power, but the change is still limited to the human form. For example, the caster can freely change the height, body shape, facial features, skin color, hair color, eye color, etc., and can even pretend to be an old man, or let a man pretend to be a woman. However, these still belong to the category of human form changes.
Human body transformation breaks through this limitation.
In addition to changing the appearance of the human form, the Human Body Transfiguration Technique can also further perform "non-humanoid" changes, and this change does not necessarily have to be applied to the performer himself. One of the best examples is when Hagrid conjured a pig's tail on Dudley's butt in order to warn the Dursleys.
Another example of transfiguration in the original books is Viktor Krum, who turned his head into a shark's head so he could breathe water.
It can be seen that if the human body transformation technique is mastered well, it is actually an advanced version of Polyjuice Potion and Disguise Magus. Not only does it have no time limit, but it can also break through the limitations of the human form to meet the needs of different situations.
Xie Lin, who possesses the Disguise Magus, already has experience in using magic at the cellular level to draw on, so he learned the human body transformation technique very quickly. In just a few days, he touched the threshold of the human body transformation technique.
Time flies by and it’s Friday, November 13th.
Friday afternoon is the favorite time for the fourth-year students in Slytherin and the most hated time for Gryffindors. Especially for the famous Harry Potter. Especially after he became a Hogwarts Champion.
These are two potions lessons connected together.
Last Friday, the Potions class became a kind of painful torture for Harry - he was locked in the underground classroom for a whole hour and a half, and Harry was ridiculed half to death by Snape and Slytherins. However, Snape was extremely picky about his potion, making him redo it again and again, and suffered a great deal.
Harry couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the upcoming Potions lesson.
After lunch, he and Hermione went to Snape's underground classroom and found the Slytherin students waiting outside the classroom. Most of them had a large badge pinned to the front of their robes.
The badges all bore the same words, the bright red letters glowing like on fire in the dim light of the underground corridors: Support Sherrin Malfoy, the true warrior of Hogwarts!
"Do you like it, Potter?" Draco shouted as he saw Harry approaching, "They have other tricks up their sleeves - look!"
He pressed the badge hard on his chest, and the words on it disappeared, and then another line of words appeared, shining green: "Potter stinks."
Even Schelling couldn't help but find it funny. Well, Sherrin knew that he shouldn't be like this. He knew that it was really not his fault that Harry became a warrior - Harry was very pitiful, but, but it was really funny!
Under Draco's lead, Blaise, Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy all laughed strangely. Each of them pressed their badge, and finally the glaring words - Potter Stink - flashed all around Harry.
"Oh, very interesting," Hermione said sarcastically to Pansy Parkinson, "Malfoy deserves to be selected as a warrior. It is your right to support him, but there is no need for you to mock another warrior like this, right? Your pureblood family—"
She lowered her voice, but her tone became calmer, "Can your so-called glory and your so-called enlightenment only reach this level? If you don't dare to compete openly and openly in the game, you can only do this outside the court. A little trick?"
Well said! Xie Lin secretly praised, it seems that Hermione is really much more mature than in the original work.
Xie Lin has been too busy these days. He is busy with study, research, and the affairs of Sleeping Dragon Society, so that his surveillance of Harry's trio has been reduced. Unexpectedly, Hermione's mental growth was advanced before she knew it.
At the same time, he suddenly remembered something - in the original book, didn't Hermione also organize a "House Elf Rights Promotion Association"? But now it seems that she and Harry are not wearing that badge!
It seems that she is really different from her in the original work!
Hermione's words were well-reasoned, and her tone was no longer as sharp as before, but she had a calm confidence. Draco was speechless for a while, and could only snort coldly, turn his head away, and never pay attention to them again.
Oh no, if the plot develops like this, Draco will not use the "stick in the front teeth" on Harry and accidentally hit Hermione, and then Hermione will not take the opportunity to shrink her front teeth during the treatment. What should I do?
Hey, why should I worry about this?
Thinking of this, Xie Lin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
He turned his head and saw Daphne standing quietly beside him. She looked at everything in front of her calmly, as if everything happening at this moment was not in the same world as her.
Xie Lin suddenly had some inexplicable emotions, and a sentence from the Chinese Muggle world inadvertently floated through his mind. Looking back suddenly, that person was at the end of the lights.
This semester, since the beginning of the school year, Daphne has been silently by my side, as quiet as an invisible person, so that I almost ignored her presence.
I remembered the first time they met on the train, and that scene seemed to have happened yesterday.
After Meredith disappeared, the girl said nothing on the surface, but resolutely took on the supporting role that Meredith had played in the past beside Xie Lin. She quietly studied astronomy, herbology, and history of magic, which she usually didn't like.
I said I wanted to build power, but I patted my butt and threw the whole stall on her. The whole process was her own hard work, and she did every detail herself.
This semester, I have been devoted to exploring Hogwarts and studying magic. Except for class time and Sleeping Dragon Club activities, I have hardly said a few words to Daphne, and I really ignored her.
But she didn't say anything to me.
Not a word of complaint, a word of complaint, or even a word of coquetry.
Xie Lin pursed his lips.
It turns out that you have always been with me!
When Snape opened the door to the underground classroom, Shaylin no longer looked at Harry and Draco. He took Daphne's hand and walked into the classroom in front of her surprised eyes.
