From Azkaban To Hogwarts - Vol 7 Chapter 524
“Cheer up, Professor Lupin!”
“That’s right, that’s it, Minister Fudge’s safety is entirely up to you!”
In the big office, Lupin and William looked at Lupin seriously, or pretended to be serious, “That’s it, Professor Lupin, that’s it!”
Tomorrow is the time when the Minister of Magic will come to send the money, ahem, the day he came to inspect, and the Self-Defense Office will definitely express it all at once.
Lupin was a little helpless, but he was still trying new robes—the one he had planned was rejected by Professor McGonagall yesterday, and then the vice-principal personally gave him an order for new robes, which was delivered after working overtime.
“Is it really necessary? I think I’m pretty good at it.”
“Of course, that’s what Professor McGonagall meant – the new conservatory at Hogwarts is up to you, Professor Lupin, and Professor Sprout will be grateful.”
William and Moody looked at each other, neither of them smiled, and deliberately ran on Lupin.
“Okay, is this okay?”
“Of course, it’s perfect!”
William tried his best to be serious, then went back to his desk, “It’s just one flower in a buttonhole, it’s not a big problem – I’ll go to Adams after class, and their herbal medicine office will definitely do its best. cooperative.”
“forgive me…”
“No, if you have any comments, you can respond to Professor McGonagall—that’s it, I’m off to class.”
William said with certainty, then picked up his paper bag from the table and walked out of the big office quickly.
“…” Lupin sighed and looked at Moody who was still there, “Professor Moody… everyone is Gryffindor…”
“So you should contribute more to the academy,” Moody nodded earnestly. “You know, we don’t have our share in this exhibition game. The team has just been established, and Professor McGonagall will not take this risk.”
After all, it’s the Minister of Magic. It’s too rude to find a random player to gather the team to play an exhibition match, and it’s not so perfunctory…
“…”
—
“Attend class.”
William put the paper bag on the podium and looked at the sixth graders below.
Getting along last year was actually not that pleasant. Because of the Triwizard Tournament, the later classwork was a lot heavier, which caused many students to break down a little in the end.
As a result, the number of applicants for this year’s self-defense improvement class was much lower than before. About one-eighth of the students gave up self-defense courses after passing the OWLs exam.
Fortunately, everyone didn’t get along badly in the last class, and it was a little relieved for this group of students who were a bit scared.
“Tell me, what kind of knowledge do you want to learn in today’s class?”
William walked to the podium and smiled at the students below—after all these years, he was relatively familiar with the content of the advanced class. Although there would be some minor problems in adjusting the content of the course, it was not a big problem to deal with.
“Can you cast spells without a staff?”
With William’s encouragement, the students below came up with a bold idea – when they were still in fifth grade, they were curious about William’s left-handed spellcasting, but at that time they were only in a state of hating too many knowledge points. , No one dared to mention, no one dared to ask.
“Unable to explain the law?”
William smiled, “Of course you can, but prepare yourself mentally in advance – this is difficult. I suspect that after a class, you can’t even do a simple floating spell.”
He tapped the chalk, let it automatically write quickly on the blackboard, and thought for a moment.
“Wandless casting, this is actually a little magic trick I learned from Africa when I went out on an adventure – in fact, the use of magic wands is not widely used in the local area, and most of them have never touched a magic wand in their lives. .”
“A little surprised, aren’t you?”
William looked at the student who opened his mouth wide and smiled happily, “Have you always thought that it is a very clever, very rare, special skill that only extremely powerful wizards can master?”
Obviously, he got it right—after all, there’s nothing new under the sun, and that’s what previous students thought.
“It’s not…” William slid in the air with his left hand, and the void formed a big cross, “Actually, most of you have the experience of dharma teaching without sticks – think about it, you touch yourselves Before the first wand, was there any place where you showed your extraordinary magical abilities?”
“Of course there is – most wizards show their magical abilities in one way or another, and then realize they’re different…”
“So, professor, do you mean that there are exceptions?”
Under the guidance of William’s deliberately lengthening the tone, some students finally learned to break the inherent thinking of the fifth grade and connected with William’s words.
William nodded, and looked approvingly – he just wanted to relax, the pressure last year was so hard that these students couldn’t be active.
“There are exceptions, of course, and there are wizards who suppress their magical powers because of one thing or another, leading to—well, some tragedies.”
“In addition, there is a special kind of existence – that is, because they are not confident, they keep persuading themselves that they can’t, and then their magical power will be used to limit the manifestation of their magical power, which is that many wizards will experience some things. The reason for the dramatic increase in strength.”
“So, professor, are some of them going to be Squibs?”
Another student plucked up the courage to ask questions.
“It’s hard to say. There are no relevant research results in the wizarding world now. My teacher has studied related content. Unfortunately, there was a serious experimental accident just after the experiment started…”
William sighed with emotion—he also found relevant content when sorting out some potion notes in his vault. Although he really wanted to continue to study the Squib, it was obviously not the time.
As long as the Dark Lord has any hope of returning, he can’t devote all his energy to any single project of pure research.
The voices in the classroom paused for a moment, until William himself broke the silence.
“Okay, let’s stop talking about that, and continue our previous topic – interpretation without sticks.”
William glanced at the chalk on the blackboard, “Well, as the blackboard says, before the first wand appeared, the wizards were actually in a state of wandless interpretation, and then entered the age of wands.”
“At that time, the material and core of the wand could not be determined, and even the style of the wand did not have a very good specification, but even so, the wand still strengthened the power of the wizard, presumably you have all learned this in the history of magic .”
Several students bowed their heads silently – it seems that they have seen a little bit of the relevant content, but it’s been so long since the OWLs exam…
“Then there is the complete shape of the wand, the large-scale improvement of the wizards’ combat power, and then the great prosperity of the wizarding world. Now, the wand has become the most needed existence before you enter school.”
Of course… the wand before it was completely finalized was actually very powerful… For example, Ilvermorny’s wand was said to be the wand used by Slytherin himself… but William couldn’t tell the students about this kind of thing – at least on the Dark Lord’s side Before the finalization, he can’t openly let the students notice these contents, in order to prevent the Dark Lord from confirming the attitude of this side…
“But it is precisely because of the power of the wand that we have completely abandoned the practice of wandless interpretation, and after a series of magic training, our team’s cognition of magic is also difficult to achieve wandless interpretation… ”
“The most basic stick-free interpretation requires some gestures…”
William slowed down the movement of his left hand, trying to let all the students see his slow, stickless dharma, “That’s it!”
With the completion of the last gesture, a floating spell was successfully used by him.
“It’s probably like this,” William slowed down his gesture again, and pointed his wand at his left hand, using the wand to create a five-fold magnified illusion, “one more time!”
He showed the levitating spell in a slower way—all attention was on the large illusion.
“See clearly?”
“Professor, are you double casting?”
Just when William asked the students below, someone asked another question – the floating spell on display and the enlarged illusion are not the same magic!
‘If I told you that Dumbledore can cast Transfiguration at the same time as the spell is completed, how would you react…’
He thought to himself, but very modestly in his mouth, “It’s two different spells, but they’re not used at the same time. They’re cast with the wand first and then with the left hand. It’s a long way off…”
But the students have already begun to imagine the scene where the left hand and the right hand cast spells at the same time – that is not difficult, let’s talk about it, but it looks really cool!
…
‘It’s almost like a convulsion…’
William looked at the students in the classroom and almost laughed out loud.
All the students started to practice desperately after his demonstration, but as William said, those who are used to magic wands have long forgotten the feeling of doing magic without a wand, and the left hand is not used to using the hand. It’s really hard to get those marks off…
‘Should I tell them that I actually used my left hand to cast spells with my left hand, and the local natives also use my right hand? ’
William looked at the students whose hands were dented into chicken feet, and after hesitating for a while, he chose to give up.
The left hand has been learned to be useful, and the right hand has been learned – what is the use, if his student loses the wand easily, it is almost equivalent to a failure of education, what else is there to learn without a wand?
More importantly, no one will change it. All of these students have passed the OWLs exam, and they are very arrogant. How could it be possible to try the right hand because the right hand is simple?
Therefore, due to the difficulty of interpreting the Dharma without sticks and the deliberate failure of a professor to remind, only five students moved the feathers slightly before the get out of class ended, and three students could be considered to complete a spell in a relatively standard manner. Only one is barely qualified and can effectively cast spells in a short time…
“Well… the grades are a little better than I expected – not bad, go back and review the silent spell skills by yourself, that is much easier, if someone can complete both the stickless and silent spell casting before the next class, I will be easy. Let’s talk about a stick-free interpretation of the Dharma without gestures.”
William stood on the podium and threw a fat bait, “Come on!”

“By the way, UU reading www.uukanshu.com look!”
In the empty classroom, Qiu put his quill pen on the table, and then began to make various strange gestures with his left hand awkwardly.
After a minute, she made the final step with difficulty, and then her feathers flew straight.
“It’s amazing! I’m one of the few people in the grade who can complete the entire spell!”
…
One minute casting speed – this spell is nothing but bells and whistles.
Although Harry’s subconscious told him that the spell would help in battle, there was no doubt that it was nothing but acting like that.
