Chapter 117 A Busy Day
Chapter 118 A busy day
The newly obtained course schedule is still not much different from the previous semester. It seems that Hogwarts does not really want the little wizards to accept new things prematurely.
Except for the new "Emergency Escape Training Course", the number of courses in a week remains at about 13 lessons.
For Zhang Xiao, who had experienced dozens of classes a week, it was as relaxing as being on vacation.
It is worth mentioning that the curriculum of Hogwarts is similar to that of China. It is not divided into AB weeks like Muggle schools in the UK, but a fixed curriculum for a single week.
In the new week, Zhang Xiao returned to his favorite regular life. In herbal medicine class, they were still learning how to care for mandrakes under the guidance of Professor Sprout.
Zhang Xiao has always felt that mandrake is the monkey version of ginseng doll. In addition to repotting, mandrake has special needs for soil moisture and light.
As long as there is something not done well, they will dare to show it to you.
After talking to Professor Sprout about the cultivation of ginseng, Zhang Xiao found out that every time the little wizards finished class, the professor spent a lot of time cleaning up the mess for the little wizards.
Otherwise, these mandrakes in the school would have been pissed to death.
From 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. The professor is not in a hurry to teach new things, but takes the little wizards to review the lessons of the previous school year.
From changing needles, to buttons, to drinking glasses, to snuff bottles. Professor McGonagall took the trouble to stabilize the transformations that the little wizards had learned so hard through repetition.
"I think everyone already knows the importance of transformation, gentlemen and ladies." Professor McGonagall nodded towards the little witches:
"It plays an irreplaceable role both in life and in conflicts.
So when you complain that Transfiguration classes are always repeated over and over again, I hope you will think about it.
One day in the future, when you want a comfortable recliner but can't find it, will you regret not following the professors' advice when you were in school? "
The little wizards did not dare to say anything. After the professor finished speaking, they immediately clenched their fists and recited the transformation spell loudly to prove that they did not want to regret it in the future.
Zhang Xiao's wand lit back and forth on the things in front of him, and the things on the table kept changing their shapes.
These first-year courses are really not difficult, and even when deforming these small objects, they are close to the level of "illumination".
It's almost like 'doing whatever you want', so what he wants to practice more is shortening the transformation time and transforming the form, so that the weapon switching can be smoother during battle.
Of course, I also asked Professor McGonagall about this issue. This professor who is highly accomplished in transfiguration gave this answer after pondering for a while:
"Zhang, I'm sorry, I may not be able to give you the advice you want. Transfiguration is undoubtedly a very profound course, and we can only teach some very basic things.
And your question actually arises for every wizard who wants to develop in the art of transformation, how to transform as he pleases?
The answer is to practice. Find that feeling through a lot of practice. One day, you will have a flash of inspiration, experience that indescribable feeling, and sigh: 'So this is it! ’
I'm glad that you had such a question in the second grade. It means that you have far exceeded the level of ordinary wizards. Even in my club, many top students only vaguely have questions in the fourth or fifth grade. Such doubts.
I think I should consider whether to give you an invitation to the club in advance! "
I understand, this is something that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. It is still a concise Chinese language!
Of course, Zhang Xiao happily accepted the professor's invitation to the Transfiguration Club, because only in professors' clubs can things not taught in class be discussed and taught.
It feels a bit like ‘the law should not be passed lightly’.
In addition, Zhang Xiao also plans to join Professor Flitwick's Charms Club, but has not considered anything else for the time being.
Even with his talent, he couldn't handle the fact that he had to invest a lot of time in studying other courses when he studied both East and West.
After dinner there was Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
After this class, Zhang Xiao was completely disappointed in Lockhart!
Why is it worse than Professor Quirrell's class! ! ! Quirrell wanted to teach but didn't dare to teach seriously. At any rate, he just followed the instructions and read from the textbook.
Where's Lockhart!
At first, he might have wanted to teach the little wizards a good lesson, but after the failure of the last lesson, he immediately gave up the idea. Started to let myself go.
He actually asked the little wizard to act out a play on his novel with him in class!
When casting the characters of passers-by, wannabes and monsters, Goyle and Crabbe were cast as the trolls in "Walking with Trolls", and Pansy Parkinson and Hannah were cast as the Muggle girls attracted to Lockhart. .
Malfoy and Justin Finlay had the misfortune to fill the role of passer-by.
While selecting Lockhart's admirers, the professor smiled his signature smile and rested his hands on the podium:
"Okay! We need an admirer! This is a very important role! There are many lines! So we need a very good little wizard to play this character!"
Lockhart looked at Zhang Xiao, hoping that he would stand up on his own and volunteer to play the role of admirer.
Zhang Xiao suddenly shuddered and immediately glared back mercilessly, "You want me to try to act like a bullshit admirer!"
Lockhart's expression froze, and he looked away awkwardly. As a star with unlimited glory in the wizarding world, he had a vague understanding of Zhang Xiao's power.
After hesitating for a while, he finally chose Zabini, who also had a good appearance, to play this admirer.
This class was extremely eye-catching.
Whether it was Brother and Justin clapping with despair, or Zabini shaking with anger and gnashing his teeth as he recited the lines:
"Ah! Great Lockhart, you are so dazzling! Just like the sun in the sky, as your insignificant admirer, I beg you to allow me to follow behind you!"
Except for a few little witches, the little wizards present almost vomited.
Only Crabbe and Goyle played the trolls, which were remarkable and highly restored.
After the class finally ended with Lockhart's reluctance, the little wizards rushed out of the classroom holding their books without looking back.
Malfoy's face was pale, his hands were trembling slightly, and they looked a little red and swollen - clapping.
He went directly to the school infirmary and described it to Zhang Xiao:
"My hands are like countless needles stabbing me now, but even this pain is nothing compared to my disgust for Lockhart!
Dumbledore is really old and confused! Why would he choose such a person to be a professor!"
Not only Malfoy, many young wizards also think that Lockhart is simply terrible. Harry and Ron even think that if Professor Quirrell didn't have a Voldemort on the back of his head, he would be a hundred times better than Lockhart!
Ron complained loudly: "He actually asked me to read fan letters loudly in the way of reciting poetry! Dear Gilderoy, ugh!"
Zhang Xiao was also confused about this. Is there really a curse in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class? But I clearly remember that it was a rumor in the original book that was discussed online.
But thinking about the pitiful number of graduates from Hogwarts every year, I was relieved immediately. More than 30 graduates are not enough for the wizarding world to digest.
In addition, many excellent wizards died because of Voldemort, so it is understandable that they could not find a suitable candidate for a while.
It doesn't matter to academic masters like me and Hermione, and I am not afraid of talented players like Harry, because they all study on their own, but it is hard for those little wizards.
In the astronomy class, Zhang Xiao was bored looking at the astronomical telescope and slacking off. There was originally only one herbology class tomorrow morning.
But now a new course has been added, which is scheduled for Tuesday morning, and it is a big class for four colleges together!
The emergency hedging training course is finally here.
