Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 106 Harry's Change

Harry and Ron stayed in the corner on the first floor, unable to calm down for a long time. Only the screams of Crabbe and Goyle that came from not far away kept them awake.

"Are you still going to find Dudley?" Ron suddenly remembered the purpose of Harry's trip.

"No need, I just realized how could Dudley be a person who would be bullied? It's too late for him to bully others." Harry woke up from a dream and started to go upstairs, returning the same way.

"Ryan! What's wrong with you?" Sharp-eyed Harry spotted Ryan eating melon next to him.

"I'm just curious. We freshmen usually go together everywhere." Ryan made an excuse casually.

"Okay." Harry said doubtfully.

"Ryan, why are you so invisible? You've been here just now." Ron looked suspicious, but didn't say much. He didn't want to attract the attention of Dudley, who was beating someone not far away.

"Okay, let's go back to the lounge quickly. Without Harry's intimidation, what will the other freshmen do when they meet Peeves in class in the afternoon?" Ryan emphasized seriously, as if he had no idea that Peeves was Because of myself, I didn’t dare to get close.

Finally, before 12:30, Ryan, Harry, and Ron returned to the Ravenclaw lounge. The problem at the door was just a piece of cake for Ryan and did not take too much time.

There was only one Charms class this afternoon, and the Ravenclaws finally had Herbicides, History of Magic, and the third easiest class, their own headmaster's class.

Regrettably, the first half of the class was still filled with troublesome theories. These theories are correct axioms in the eyes of Professor Flitwick or most wizards in the wizarding world, but for Ryan , are some one-sided words, which cannot be said to be incorrect, but they do not apply to the entire field of magic.

Finally, at 2 o'clock, the theory ended.

There was a twenty-minute break between classes. Professor Flitwick took out some candies, waved his wand, and made them tap dance in front of the students, with Ryan mixed in among them.

"Yes, it's chocolate." Ryan wanted to deal with the problem and eat casually, but unexpectedly he got the chocolate. Ryan looked surprised and ate it happily like other students around him.

After a while, the fun time was over.

"Okay, students, please be quiet. The next 40 minutes are the time for you to take out your wands and actually operate them."

"But we're going to do a brief review first and ask a few questions."

"First, the shrinking spell. Repeat after me, Rducio, shrink quickly! Ron, don't wave your wand yet."

"Then there's the Expansion Charm. Repeat after me, Engorgio, grow bigger! Okay, why do we have to involve two spells at the same time in this class?" Professor Flitwick asked finally.

"The expansion and shrinking spells are simple and straightforward but surprisingly dangerous spells that will cause some things to expand or shrink. We must learn both spells together so that we can undo excessive spells at any time."

"This way, we won't make the mistake of accidentally shrinking our homework to the size of a microscope and letting a giant toad run rampant in the school garden." Hermione raised her hand, and Professor Flitwick clicked on it, standing He got up and replied.

"Okay, five points for Ravenclaw!" Professor Flitwick said.

"Harry, in your last assignment, you explained the origin of the curse in great detail, and you completed the assignment perfectly in a way that I didn't expect."

"Can you tell me what you think about these two spells?" Professor Flitwick asked. "Rducio is a spell that quickly reduces. It is relatively simple. Its spell, reduce, comes from Latin, which means reduce."

“Engorgio is growing rapidly and is relatively complex.”

"To understand it deeply, I would like to mention a word in English, gorge, which comes from the Old French word, originally referring to throat. When it is used as an adjective, that is, engorged refers to swelling." Harry explained.

"Okay, 10 points for Ravenclaw! Harry, at the same time, you can be exempted from the homework for today's class. The other students will write a 7-inch article based on the content of this class."

"Okay, please start practicing. Don't point your wand at objects other than the items I handed out, or at your classmates!" Professor Flitwick emphasized, tapping into the drawer with the wand, and the buttons popped out one by one. It flew out and landed in front of each student.

"Harry, what you were talking about before was probably the contents of "The Evolution of the Curse", but based on what you said, my total is less than seven inches." Ron said distressedly.

"You can add some related things. For example, you can add that the noun form of reduce is reduction, and there is a related adjective reducible, which means it can be simplified."

"Gorge as a noun refers to a canyon. Gorge as a verb originally meant swallowing with the throat, and later extended to mean eating voraciously or eating with big mouthfuls. The phrase be gorged with sth. refers to having something stuffed in the stomach, and these meanings can all be traced back to the original meaning of throat. Also related is the familiar gorgeous (very beautiful), whose meaning comes from an ornament beautiful enough to be used to decorate the neck."

"Ah, these have nothing to do with magic." Ron said confused.

"Why doesn't it matter? The name of the curse and the origin of the spell are all derived from this knowledge. I always felt that Hogwarts still lacks an English class." Hermione added, while Harry looked surprised, presumably He didn't think of it himself, so he could explain it this way.

"Yes, that's it." Harry added quickly.

"Where are we going to play later, or should we go back to the lounge?" Ron asked. After class ends at 3 o'clock, there is still a lot of time before dinner at 6 o'clock in the evening. After 7 o'clock in the evening, there are still two hours of astronomy class.

"Let's go back to the lounge first, so that other students will not be attacked by Peeves, and finishing the homework early also means that we can have a good rest on the weekend." Harry said naturally. Harry was already used to being the Peeves exorcist for other students. Classmates protect themselves from wind and rain.

Moreover, Ryan has also discovered that since Dudley came to Hogwarts, Harry's own active love spell has been able to drive away Peeves.

Now, even if Ryan leaves a clone in Hogwarts one day and goes out to fish in person, the myth of Harry Potter driving Peeves away will not be shattered.

"By the way, Harry, do you think Hagrid was accidentally hit by a vicious expansion curse when he was a child, which made him so tall?"

"Aren't you going to Hagrid's hut on Friday afternoon? Do you want to ask?" Ron gossiped.

"How about we go together then. I believe Hagrid will welcome you there. Ryan, you can go too." Harry suddenly turned his head.

"Okay." Ryan nodded. That's fine. It would be a beautiful thing to observe the last Hagrid up close, right?

Everything depends on tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday. Old bat Snape, after experiencing so many changes, will he still target Harry? I really look forward to it.

However, there is an astronomy class in the evening. I am really curious about the difference between wizards’ astronomy and Muggles’ astronomy!
