Chinese Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 144 Luna and the Spell Club

In the next few days, the little wizards talked about everything in the Great Common Room like crazy.

It was like a magical fairy tale world, where pure-blooded or Muggle-born little wizards could find what they wanted.

They talked in the corridors, in the classrooms, and even in class.

"Big news! Tomic successfully entered the underwater mermaid village with the Bubble Head Curse!"

"What is at the top of the Elf Tree? Ravenclaw Grade 7 brings you the latest first-hand information - "Climbing"!"

"Fred and George tried to knock out an alchemical lion and were besieged by a group of lions. Angelina fell from the sky and the beauty saved the bear!"

The professors were not surprised by this, nor did they take it to heart, but happily let them discuss it.

When those Muggle little wizards learned that they could go to Hogwarts, the shock they felt was much stronger than the Great Common Room.

The shock when they first entered Diagon Alley was no less.

So it won't take long for them to get used to it. Just like the explosive news in Hogwarts, no matter how big the waves are, they will eventually calm down.

The first-year wizards listened eagerly to the seniors talking about the big common room.

There was also a small number of second- and third-year students who were unable to enter the common room until it was closed on the first day. They begged the seniors to take them in and were willing to pay Galleons.

Some senior students were tempted and pulled the little wizards to cast the Disillusionment Spell together.

This led to terrible consequences. The stone dragon seemed very angry about this cheating behavior.

It showed its terrible side. After knocking out two students, it stared fiercely at other little wizards who were about to do so.

Zhang Xiao was not surprised by this. It was obvious that this stone dragon was also a continuation of the previous "Emergency Avoidance Class".

If you want to pass it easily, then master the very practical spell of the Disillusionment Spell.

At least this spell can provide great help in most cases where you need to hide yourself.

Now students who practice the Disillusionment Charm seriously can be seen everywhere on campus. Madam Pince has never thought that the library would be so crowded one day.

All books about the Disillusionment Charm have been borrowed. The little wizards flipping through the thick books, their seriousness is gratifying.

But unfortunately, the difficulty of this spell is indeed high, and no little wizards below the third grade have learned it yet.

Fortunately, Malfoy's behavior inspired them. The little wizards used their brains to try various ways to break through the level, some succeeded and some failed.

There are even some who think they are strong enough and want to learn from Zhang Xiao and break through directly, but unfortunately there are very few who succeed.

In the end, fighting with the stone dragon has become the standard for measuring whether one is strong or not.

For some reason, they even assume that they must use the Iron Armor Charm to resist the three attacks of the stone dragon at the beginning, otherwise they will not be recognized.

Most of the little wizards insist that this is a tribute to Zhang Xiao, the first to wrestle with the "stone dragon".

No, Zhang Xiao sneered at this statement. Well, maybe there is indeed a tribute, but this component is definitely not much.

It was obviously those academic masters who found that using the Armor Charm to resist three times could reduce the factor of good luck to the minimum.

It can more directly reflect their own level, so they chose to resist three times to show their Armor Charm level.

Returning to the trial itself, no matter what you choose, this stone dragon is like a diligent examiner.

This is also what Dumbledore and other professors want to see. Except for cheating, no matter how you pass, it is always a kind of exercise.

Fred and George seized the business opportunity and launched the "Methods to Pass the Stone Dragon", which was sought after by young wizards, and these young wizards snapped up crazily.

Looking for a way that suits you in the currently known feasible methods of passing.

Until the third day of the opening of the big common room, a hot news spread throughout the school.

A freshman who had just enrolled passed the stone dragon in an incredible way, but did not go in, but turned around and left.

This freshman is from Ravenclaw, named Luna Lovegood.

"Is this stone dragon so stupid?" Malfoy said dissatisfiedly, picking up a piece of pie.

Luna's feat has completely overshadowed Malfoy's help to other second-year students.

Zhang Xiao patted his shoulder with a smile: "Draco, you have done very well."

Could it be that Xiao Ma has the talent of Wang Toutiao in addition to the talent of prophecy?

Every time he finally gets the limelight, he is either suppressed by others or there is a more explosive news.

"Zhang, it's not that I'm jealous, but telling riddles to the stone dragon to stump it is simply a joke!"

Malfoy had a stern face and tried his best to make an expression that he was considering the future of the school and the students, and was not jealous or envious at all.

Draco, don't you know that your ears will turn red when you lie? It's exactly the same as Ron!

Zhang Xiao pinched his thigh and nodded repeatedly:

"You are right! Draco, this kind of behavior of taking advantage of loopholes is much more low-level and childish than your heroic "leading" the little wizards to rush in!"

Although she said so, she is really worthy of being Luna!

The details of how Luna passed through have been very complete with everyone's supplement.

It is said that this girl came to the stone dragon with her hands behind her back humming a song as if taking a walk.

It happens to be stuck at the maximum range of the stone dragon's attack range. It's not the stone dragon's attack, nor is it sleeping.

As if having epilepsy, wanting to move forward and then lying down again, Luna asked Stone Dragon a brain teaser in a singing voice.

Stone Dragon just stayed where he was.

Many people almost stared with their eyes open and watched with their mouths open as Luna jumped up to the small door with her hands behind her back.

He waved his hand towards the small door, made a goodbye gesture and skipped away.

Many first-year little wizards took advantage of the stone dragon's "dead moment" and wanted to go through the small door to see it.

Unfortunately, as soon as his hand touched the handle, it was bounced far away by the age spell cast by Dumbledore.

Then the professors rushed out to repair the stone dragon and fill in the loophole.

"Zhang, you don't need to praise me. These are all the responsibilities of a leader. I'm still far behind!"

Malfoy suppressed his laughter, showed an indifferent expression, and asked curiously:

"What you asked me to prepare before has already been prepared, Zhang, I don't quite understand.

There is already a Qingluan Club, why do you still organize this small duel club? "

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while. The difference between the two is actually easy to understand. Qingluan Society is soft power, more like a kind of identity recognition.

The duel club is about hard power, and what you improve is yourself.

As early as when he was a student in his previous life, he discovered that when teachers give lectures or lectures to others, they can gain a deeper understanding of what they have learned.

Teaching lessons to others is also teaching himself a lesson. One method can be applied to all methods. He instinctively felt that magic was the same.

When teaching others to learn, you may have a deeper understanding of your own magic skills.

After briefly explaining his thoughts, Malfoy nodded in confusion:

"Oh, in that case. Zhang, can I join?"

If you want to join, just say so! Why go in such a big circle!

Seeing Malfoy's expectant look, what else could Zhang Xiao say?

"Welcome, Draco."

The Charms Club is not far away, in Professor Flitwick's office.

When Zhang Xiao arrived 5 minutes ahead of the agreed time, he saw a familiar figure as expected.

Hermione held the thick book and raised her little face and waved happily to Zhang Xiao:

"Zhang! I knew you would come too. I asked Professor Flitwick, but he said he was a little surprised.

But this is natural, right? "

The little witch pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly:

"In the final exam last semester, Professor Flitwick said that my two pineapples couldn't dance as well as you, especially the ballet one, which turned 4 fewer times than you!"

Hermione stretched out her white and tender hands and made a '4' gesture.

Uh, can you still remember that thing about missing 4 turns last semester? Zhang Xiao was stunned and said helplessly:

"Hermione, more or less turns is just a matter of rotation speed and has nothing to do with the mastery of the spell."

The little witch couldn't help laughing, showing her two white front teeth, and then she reacted, her face turned red, and she covered her mouth.

She glanced at him sheepishly with watery eyes, and made a '4' sign with difficulty with the hand holding the book.

Then he turned around and ran into the office like a frightened little rabbit.

Zhang Xiao was like a middle-aged man who laughed when he saw a cute child. Yes, it was quite cute, but that was all. The girlfriends he dated in his previous life, including his wife, were all older than him.

12 years old. I feel nothing from physical to psychological aspects.

He happily walked into Professor Flitwick's office. This highly qualified professor cast a non-excessive invisible stretching spell on the office, enlarging it by about half.

There are already a few people in the office, and you probably have to look at them to see that they are all top students in each grade.

For example, the prefect of Ravenclaw and a strong contender for the school beauty - Penelo Crevat.

She stood with Percy, who had already made their relationship public, holding hands and obviously having a good relationship.

There was also Cedric, an acquaintance of Hufflepuff. This little badger idol who passively liked figurines happily waved at Zhang Xiao.

Slytherin's Miles Blackie, the goalkeeper with the shining Qingluan Club badge on his chest, saw his club president and hurriedly followed Malfoy's 'popular science' etiquette and bowed slightly elegantly.

"Good day, dear president."

Bonjour originally came from French, but Xiao Ma felt that Bonjour (Good day) was very stylish and suggested that it should be used as a formal greeting.

See, this is the undesirable consequence of trying to be stylish, and you’ve trapped yourself in it!

Zhang Xiao nodded at him:

"Good day, Miles."

Looking at the way the Slytherin pair greeted each other, several other little wizards thought of their own gesture of greeting with a wide grin and a wide wave. It seemed that theirs did look more elegant!

"It seems that everyone has arrived." Professor Flitwick floated over with a smile while sitting on the auspicious cloud.

"Good afternoon, Professor Flitwick."

"Hello everyone, I think everyone has noticed that we have two new members this time, namely second-year MR Zhang and Miss Granger."

Professor Flitwick said in an excited tone:

"Although these two gentlemen and young ladies are only in their second year, their level of magic is impressive, so I made an exception and invited them both."

Penello and Percy recalled Zhang Xiao's three wonderful silent armor spells that day when he fought against the giant stone dragon. They nodded in agreement, and some curled their lips, but didn't say anything.

Everyone is a top student, so naturally they have the arrogance of a top student. Zhang Xiao didn't care. When he was in school, his head teacher also said that he was arrogant.

After Professor Flitwick introduced the two newcomers, everyone sat down and started today's meeting.

"Miss Penello, last time you talked about your idea about silent spells and ideas about increasing the power of spells. I wonder if you have any new ideas during this time?"

After setting out tea and snacks for everyone, Professor Flitwick started the conversation first.

Penello nodded, put down the cup, stretched out his wand and tapped the apple in the fruit bowl.

The big red apple was immediately divided into eight parts neatly. Flitwick's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands vigorously:

"Beautiful silent spell, beautiful control, able to achieve the effect of a cutting spell from the originally chaotic fragmenting spell.

I assume you've made great progress? "

Penello glanced at Zhang Xiao secretly from the corner of her eye and found that he was listening carefully with great interest. His face was slightly red, and he felt quite uncomfortable as he was trying to do what he wanted.

But then he adjusted his mood and said seriously:

"Yes, Professor, I have reorganized the spell of falling apart. In terms of syllables, I have adjusted the pronunciation, used the 'Landy' continuous reading technique, and emphasized the second and fifth syllables.

I think these few syllables are related to the power of the whole fragmentation and the direction of division.

In the casting gesture, the distance the index finger slides on the wand handle when thrusting forward, as well as the entire 'twisting' movement of the hand, are reduced by a quarter of a mark."

A long paragraph of terms and professional-sounding descriptions jumped out of Penelloli's little mouth.

From the second sentence, Zhang Xiao was already confused. By the time he reached the end, he was already at a loss. What kind of technique?

What does finger sliding distance mean?

What is "Liszt's simple gesture theorem"?

Why do you have to twist your wrist?

He looked at the other students with a guilty conscience and saw that everyone was listening attentively and making sounds of admiration and approval from time to time.

Percy was fascinated by what he heard, and Hermione's face turned red with excitement.

I spread out the thick notebook and wrote vigorously on it, and it seemed that I had gained a lot.

No, do you all understand? Why do you act like I understand?

Zhang Xiao shrank back calmly, but then he heard Penello's heartfelt sigh:

"Professor, I am actually just a fledgling explorer in this area, but everyone here is far better than me.

Such as Zhang.

That day I witnessed his battle with the giant stone dragon. The wonderful silent armor spell and transformation spell made me eye-opening and a little ashamed at the same time.

I feel ashamed that I am so complacent when I have a trivial idea, because I cannot be as natural and smooth as Zhang.

But I have never seen him show off his abilities. I want to thank Zhang. It was his performance that woke me up from my arrogance.

Return to the path of exploring magic with a pious and curious mind! "

"Bah bang bang bang." Everyone applauded enthusiastically. Professor Flitwick clapped the loudest. He wiped the excited tears from the corners of his eyes:

"That's very well said, very well said, Miss Penello!

This is exactly how we should approach magic, eternal beginners, pious and curious!

You don’t have to look down on yourself, you are already better than most people, including graduates! "

Zhang Xiao began to feel that something was wrong more and more. He quietly accelerated his retreat, trying to completely hide himself behind Hermione's furry head.

But then I heard Professor Flitwick’s expectant voice:

"Since Penello said so, we welcome Zhang to share his experience and exploration of magic with us!"

"Snap, snap, snap!"

The applause was even louder!
