Chapter 4083 4085 [Study Hard]
In the subsequent flying class, Madam Hooch only taught everyone how to take off and land.
It's not that she didn't want to teach more, but mainly because the first-year students really didn't have strong learning ability.
Some people still couldn't learn a simple takeoff and landing. Teaching them how to brake, how to accelerate, how to turn, how to keep balance, etc., was simply forcing things to happen.
But even so, the students still had a lot of fun. After all, flying is a wish that humans have had since ancient times.
"It's so fun. It's a pity that the next flying class will have to wait another week." After the flying class, Benjamin said reluctantly.
"Thank you so much this time, otherwise, I would definitely get into trouble." Joey thanked Xiang Nan. If Xiang Nan hadn't acted in time, he didn't know where he was taken by the flying broom.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "You'll get used to it after riding it a few more times in the future."
"Severus, you are so good at everything. It's great to be your classmate." Gregory said admiringly.
"It is my honor to be your classmate." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
...
The next day, Thursday, it was Transfiguration and Herbology again.
In Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall continued to explain the principles of Transfiguration and asked the students to turn matches into needles.
However, although two classes have been taken, most students still cannot get started. Only a few students can make the match heads slightly sharper.
"You need to practice more after class." Professor McGonagall looked at the students and said with regret, "Look at the needle that Severus turned into. There are not only needle tips and needle holes, but also delicate textures. I am sure that this needle will not turn into its original shape in a year."
Xiang Nan also added some delicate patterns to the needle he turned into this time, making this steel needle like a work of art, which made Professor McGonagall very satisfied.
And using Transfiguration to turn objects into objects has a certain time limit. Depending on the quality and size of the object being transformed and the magic power of the caster, the time limit is also different.
For ordinary people, Transfiguration can only last for two or three days at most. But for masters of Transfiguration like Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Voldemort, it is possible to continue for several months or even years.
"Look at the homework you have taught. I asked you to write a paper on the principles of Transfiguration. The most of you only wrote half a page, and most of you just copied the content from the book." Professor McGonagall pointed at Xiang Nan's paper and said, "Look at Severus's paper. He wrote a full ten pages, and it was densely packed.
Although I haven't read this paper in detail, I just took a rough look at it. The standard is very high. It can be seen that a lot of books have been checked and a lot of information has been borrowed.
The school library is not only accessible to Severus, but you can also enter it. Read more books and check more information, which will be good for you.
Don't blame me for not reminding you that we have exams every grade. Don't repeat the grade because of failing the exam. It will be too embarrassing for Nako."
Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, the students couldn't help but look stern.
...
In the subsequent herbal class, Xiang Nan and others will help Sprout grow explosive mushrooms.
This is a kind of mushroom that will explode when it matures. Although it is dangerous, its spores are important raw materials for making potions and magic props. For example, flame potions, such as laborious fireworks, such as explosive brandy...
Growing these explosive mushrooms is somewhat dangerous. You need to drill holes in the wood, then stuff the spores into the holes, and then fill and compact them with sawdust.
You must master a certain amount of force. Too little force means too little sawdust, and the spores cannot get enough nutrients and cannot grow.
If the force is too heavy, the spores may explode. Although the power is not great, it is enough to jar your fingers, so you need to be careful.
As for the control of force, Xiang Nan is the best.
His orchid finger-brushing hand can make tofu balls into ham for marinating, and stuffing sawdust into the holes is easy for him.
But for other students, the force is not so easy to control.
It seems that Gregory pressed too hard and caused an explosion. Not only was the wood he had planted cracked, but his hand was also bruised by the huge force of the explosion, and it swelled up immediately, causing him to almost cry in pain.
Xiang Nan grabbed his hand and rubbed it for him a few times, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. After a while, Gregory's injured finger was healed.
This not only made him very grateful, but also allowed Xiang Nan to win another ten points for Ravenclaw.
...
The next day, Friday, it was another spell class and a herb class.
In the spell class, the Slytherin students looked at Xiang Nan with fear, fearing that Xiang Nan would pull out his wand and give them a "hanging bell" if he disagreed with them.
After all, even the seventh-grade students were not his opponents, and they, the rookies, were even more afraid to go against Xiang Nan.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was not Lucius, and had no interest in bullying these freshmen. He didn't pay any attention to them at all, and listened carefully to Professor Flitwick's explanation of "Principles of Magic" throughout the class.
He insisted on waiting until the students had a good understanding of "The Principles of Magic" before formally teaching them spells. This was also in line with Xiang Nan's idea.
He knew a lot of spells, but he didn't have a deep understanding of "The Principles of Magic", so he urgently needed to make up for it. So he listened to the whole class with gusto.
Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others were somewhat dissatisfied. They didn't want to learn such boring theories, they just wanted to learn a few interesting and cool spells as soon as possible so that they could satisfy their addiction to being a wizard.
After all, if you don't even know a spell, what kind of wizard can you be.
"Oh my God, when can we learn real spells?"
"Oh my God, how long will we have to study "Magic Theory"?"
"It's too boring. We have been in class for a week and we don't know a single spell. Are we still wizards?"
They all complained, only Xiang Nan felt that he had gained a lot.
...
On the following Saturdays and Sundays, Xiang Nan read books in the library, eagerly absorbing magic knowledge. And he would record his doubts and ask the professors in the school for advice.
In just a few days, he finished reading dozens of thick magic books, including "Magic Symbols", "Magic Pronunciation Table", "Crazy Magic of Strange Wizards", "Medieval Witchcraft Guide", "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century", "Curse and Counter-Curse", "Innovation of Spells" and "Today's Transfiguration Collection", etc., which made Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others dumbfounded.
"Severus, no wonder you are so strong." Gregory said admiringly, "I can't even understand the first page of these books you read."
"Yes, these books are like heavenly books to me, and you can still read them." Joey turned two pages and put them down. He knew almost every word in these books, but when they were put together, he didn't understand them at all.
"There is a reason why you are so good at studying." Benjamin sighed.
