Chapter 511 Homework (Modified, Sincere Thanks to the Leader, King Rong)

That night, Allen left the tower in a happy mood and went to the deck to look far away, enjoying the last night before arriving at Durmstrang College. The hull groaned, all of which sounded wonderful to Allen's ears, even the smell of salty sea water seemed to have a romantic atmosphere.

It wasn't until a wet owl rolled and fell in front of Alan that Alan recovered from this rare and relaxing time.

Allen kindly used magic to dry the poor owl's feathers. It was not easy to find himself on this constantly moving ship in the North Sea. Thinking of this, he fed the owl a lot For the tuna meat, I specially picked some good meat from the belly and the jaw of the fish for it.

After touching the little thing's head, Allen removed the letter on its lap, and found that the envelope was sealed with his own family's wax seal. If the letter was not unlocked with a special spell, it would be like a roaring letter— —Self-destruct and burn after roaring.

Although it was a bit strange, Allen still took out his wand and prepared to unlock the seal of sealant. But when he pointed his wand at the paint mark, he hesitated for a moment, and Alan felt that Luna's previous words were not unreasonable. So, he put the wand back into the device in his arm, changed to cast without a wand and used the spell, and then opened the letter.

After a quick glance, 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, filled the eagle feather quill with ink, and just started writing when the right hand holding the quill stopped. He rubbed his temples with his knuckles, with a tangled expression, finally crumpled the parchment and pushed it to the side of the table.

After thinking for a while, he brought back the crumpled parchment, tapped the letter paper with his wand, the parchment floated up, started to burn in the air from the lower right corner, turned into ashes, and fell into the sea. Alan stood up a little melancholy, and decided to think for a while before writing back to his father.

The next day, at Hogwarts, the course Harry was looking forward to the most was Defense Against the Dark Arts, not only because he was quite talented in this subject, it was the only subject he could get an O in all his homework, but also Because the professor of this subject is Lupine.

With such expectations, even if he had to take a Potions class before he could take Defense Against the Dark Arts, Harry's good mood could not be broken.

Professor Lupine likes to lead everyone in the practical class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the length of the papers he assigns is quite moderate, so his classes are widely loved by young 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 wardrobe shook violently and banged against the wall.

"Boggarts?" Ron guessed strangely. "We learned how to deal with Boggarts in third grade?"

There was a loud, impatient smack of lips behind him. It was Hermione. After receiving the news of Allen's attack from Mr. Owen Harris, she is now very angry.

"Why are you smacking at us?" said Ron angrily.

"Nothing." Hermione said coldly.

"You're just smacking your lips," said Ron, "I said I don't know why you're doing a Boggart again, and then you—"

"Isn't that understandable?" The superiority on Hermione's face made Ron even more annoyed.

"If you don't want to tell us then don't," said Ron grumpily.

"Fine," said Hermione haughtily, and strode across the room.

"She doesn't really know," Ron said angrily, staring at Hermione's back, blankly for a while, "Ellen left, she has no friends anymore, she just wants me to talk to her again."

"I think you're thinking too much,

ron. Harry blinked, "Obviously, Professor Lupine won't re-teach us how to deal with Boggarts, most likely dealing with something that's not easy to find, but very scary." Like he used to use boggarts to teach me the Patronus Charm. "

"Harry is right, we are going to learn the Patronus Charm in this class." Professor Lupine's voice came from behind Harry.

"Professor Lupine." Harry and Ron turned around at the same time, shouting in unison.

Professor Lupine kindly summoned the little wizards to surround him, "The spell I'm going to demonstrate and teach you later is a very advanced magic, far beyond the level of ordinary wizards, this spell is called the Patronus Charm , its main function is to ward off dementors, and according to the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the Patronus Charm is also the only magic known to expel the Voldebat known as the corpse cloth. A spell for creatures. In addition, if you have enough talent and profound mana, after fully mastering this spell, it can also be used to deliver messages, allowing your patron saint to deliver what 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 also had the opportunity to learn it.

The members of the training class are also very happy. Except for the junior members, almost all of them have mastered this spell, which can save time to learn other more advanced knowledge. The regular teaching content of the school is no longer able to satisfy them.

"The Patronus is a positive force, and its spell is—" Lupine cleared his throat, "Call for protection!"

"Call the gods for protection," repeated the little wizards, imitating Lupin's accent, "call for the gods for protection."

"To read this spell, you must focus all your thoughts on a particularly pleasant moment, or when you have a strong desire to protect, this spell will take effect." Professor Lupine explained.

The young wizards racked their brains to think of moments that delighted them, and practiced the spell repeatedly waving their wands.

When their pronunciation and movements were basically correct, Professor Lupine called Harry into the middle of the classroom to demonstrate the spell for everyone.

Professor Lupine grabbed the rattling cabinet door handle and pulled it out. A dementor slowly emerged from the box. The lights in the classroom flickered a few times, and a bone marrow chill enveloped the classroom. ...

When the little wizards ate chocolate and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and came outside the castle in the sun, the sense of exhaustion in the face of the dementors was far away from them.

"Hermione and Harry both got ten points for Gryffindor, and we've got twenty points in one go," Neville said happily.

"But I'm more worried about if Professor Lupine uses the same standard to judge Ravenclaw or Slytherin-the members of that training class are almost all in these two houses. If you can use the Patronus Charm, you will get Bonus points... However, everyone in our academy performed very well, and no one was timid when facing dementors, and they were not as embarrassed as those Hufflepuffs." Thinking of this, Ron felt very sorry for himself. satisfy. Although he didn't feel the Patronus Charm, he felt brave, at least he didn't cry like Hannah Abbott, didn't he? Ron was secretly pleased.

"Did you see that? Professor Lupine praised me for being so handsome in casting spells." Seamus yelled.

"Boom!!! If there is no explosion at the end." Dean imitated the loud noise made when Seamus cast a spell just now.

The Gryffindors around laughed. Although apart from Harry and Hermione, Parvati Patil, the best performer in the group, just cast a little white gas from his wand, but this does not prevent the somewhat scary and exciting Defense Against the Dark Arts class from becoming a favorite class. A course that is the favorite of the little lions who have practiced in actual combat.

Even Neville, who behaved badly as always, liked the class of this very kind and friendly Professor Lupine the most, especially before taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. In Potions class, he was beaten by Snape After being tortured again as a model, Lupine, who is good at encouraging losers, has almost become an idol in his eyes.

In the afternoon, in the storm, the little wizards ushered in the first match of the Hogwarts Quidditch season-Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff.

"Hufflepuff can't beat Ravenclaw," Ron said with a curl of lips, "especially when Cedric has already graduated."

"I guess they'll lose at least two hundred points," George said.

"But if they beat Ravenclaw..."

"Impossible, Ravenclaw is too powerful, and Hufflepuff has never had time to complete the reconstruction."

As they said, Ravenclaw won by a big score without any suspense. In the wind and rain, the Hufflepuff players in pale yellow robes left the field with their heads down.

Harry thinks that what needs attention is definitely not the result of this game, but Ravenclaw's tactics and strategies in this game are treacherous and changeable. They seem to be using the Hufflepuff team to test their daily training results , although it looks a little rusty, but these Ravenclaws are constantly changing and using various professional tactics that can only be seen when wizards broadcast professional club Quidditch matches on TV. Have the courage to try all kinds of difficult individual movements. Harry felt that it would not be a big problem for Gryffindor to win Hufflepuff without Cedric now, but if he wanted to open such a big score like Ravenclaw, he could only use it all the time. They can only do it the way they are best at.

After the game, looking at Hermione who was talking to Alan's sister Emily in Slytherin, Harry was puzzled and surprised at Hermione's performance when they watched the game with them today. Hermione had indeed read the books on Quidditch in the first grade and memorized them all, but maybe it was because her flying talent was not as good as other courses in the flying class back then, even if Hermione Min often cheers for herself and Alan on the sidelines, but in fact she is not too interested in the actual game, but this time it is surprising that even Harry himself is not as good as Hermione's Quidditch tactics training.

The Ravenclaws showed some professional tactics. Although Harry and the others had heard of them, and recently saw some of the actual use of them in the game because of the wizard TV broadcast, he himself did not understand the principles.

But during the game, Hermione was able to explain the principles clearly on the sidelines, and even predicted their next arrangement in advance. With the performance of Ravenclaws on the field, Harry felt that I have learned a lot of knowledge that I can't see in books.

Thinking of this, Harry finally couldn't help but said to Hermione: "Hermione, why do you suddenly know so much about Quidditch?"

"My brother loves Quidditch to death, especially this year when he helped out with the team's training plans and tactics after becoming the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, he always forced Hermione to watch the tape with him, no She is not allowed to do homework after watching it." Emily's voice came from behind Hermione: "Brother is not fair at all, if I want to watch TV, I have to finish my homework before I can watch it."
