Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 573: Charms and the Number of Horcruxes

“So, a wizard is a mysterious creature that symbolizes the number seven.

But this is just my personal opinion.

Okay, any more questions?"

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Harry's mind.

He raised his hand quickly.
"When did Professor Riddle's father ask this question?"

“Apparently, it was also in third grade.

After his first Ancient Runes class." Professor Baburin adjusted his glasses.

"Riddle probably hadn't made the Horcruxes yet at that time, right?
Could it be that there are seven Horcruxes?" Harry's heart was in turmoil.

As soon as the get out of class was over and they left the classroom, Ron couldn't help but complain to Harry: "If I had known I wouldn't have chosen Ancient Runes.

I might as well teach myself.

This professor only knows how to highlight the key points.

There will be a Charms class later."

But Harry ignored him.

Still thinking about the Horcruxes.

"If Voldemort really created that many Horcruxes.

Then he must have made some modifications to the magic of Horcruxes.

He was able to create 7 Horcruxes without affecting his own skills, but instead made them stronger.

This must be the seven deadly sins mentioned by Professor Baburin (Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust).

I can now confirm that the locket contains Lust.

I've felt it myself, Bella.

But other Horcruxes," Harry thought as he followed the other students to the Charms classroom on the fourth floor.

Behind him, Ron followed with a pout and a sulky look on his face.

Like a bullied little girl.

Soon, we arrived at the classroom.

Perhaps because the Charms class and Ancient Magical Runes were connected as a class (two courses combined into one class hour), they saw Professor Flitwick as soon as they stepped into the classroom.

He was about to hide behind the table again.

But Harry and the others happened to catch them.

So he could only stand on the book with a wry smile.

To cover up this embarrassment.

Before the bell rang, seeing that all the students had arrived, Professor Flitwick eagerly announced the start of the Charms class: "The spells we are going to learn today are also related to Quidditch.

Every time the Chasers lost the ball, they became more annoyed because they had to keep sprinting to the ground to retrieve it.

So, after the game, the Quaffle was changed to red.

Soon after the colour change, the wizard Daisy Pennide came up with the idea of ​​casting a spell on the Quaffle so that if it was not caught, it would slowly fall to the ground as if it were sinking in water, and the Chaser could catch it in mid-air.

This spell is called the Slowing Charm.

Its mantra is Arresto Momentum.

Please repeat: shock reduction and speed stop! "

"Shock reduction to stop speed!" x N times.

“Have you ever heard of the Ballycastle Bats?”

"I know," Ron raised his hand, "It's the most famous Quidditch team in Northern Ireland. It has won the Quidditch League Cup twenty-seven times so far, making it the second most successful team in the history of the Quidditch League Cup.

The members of the Bat Team wore black robes with a scarlet bat on the front.

Their most famous mascot, Barney the Fruit Bat, is also a household name as the star of the Butterbeer commercials.”

"I'm just crazy about Butterbeer!" Michael, a loyal user of Butterbeer, repeated the slogan.

“It’s great, but unfortunately this isn’t a flying lesson for me.

Ballycastle Bats ace Finbar Quigley is known for jumping off his broomstick after catching the Golden Snitch.

Then use the Slowing Spell on yourself.

Slowly landed on the ground amid the cheers of the audience. Well, you should know what I will do. "

"We're going to the Quidditch pitch?" said Ron.

He looked like he had been hit in the head with a ball.

I felt dizzy because of the sudden surprise.

“I’m sorry, I said this wasn’t a flying lesson.

This is a Charms class, you have to imagine what I can create with magic.

Extension!
Cushioning Maxima! (Strong Shock Absorbing Spell)" Under Professor Flitwick's magic, the classroom returned to the state of the last spells class.

“Okay, but this time you’re going to practice the slowing spell.

Slow down your descent before you hit the ground," Professor Flitwick continued.

After class, everyone, exhausted from playing again, reluctantly walked out of the Charms classroom.

The Ravenclaw students were divided into two columns.

A group of people chose to go directly to the auditorium on the first floor and wait for dinner to start.

The other column chose to go back to the lounge to take a shower first.

Harry and Ron were among those heading back to the common room.

Neville chose to go to the Great Hall.

Harry suspected he was planning to go secretly to see Hannah.

After knowing that Hannah was the girl.

He asked Ginny, and found out that Hannah did have a crush on Neville.

"Harry, why did you ignore me just now?" Ron came back to his senses from the joy of the Charms class and thought about what happened just now.

"Me?" Harry pulled Ron towards the corner.

He waved his wand, "Close your ears and listen!
Well, now no one around can hear our conversation. "

Ron obviously misunderstood something. "Could it be that Dumbledore sent you a telepathic message?" (That is, even if the distance is very far, one's voice can be heard in the heart of another person.)
Did he tell you when you were going to take classes with him?

Hopefully it's not Sunday.

If so, you have classes seven days a week!

(Group potions, war magic, and alchemy will be taught on Saturday.)

And Sunday is when we go to Hogsmeade. We haven't been there during the day yet!"

"Unfortunately.

Dumbledore hasn't informed me yet.

Dumbledore probably hadn't studied the technique of voice transmission.

I've only seen it at Ryan's.

Okay, what I want to talk about is the Horcruxes - the secret of Voldemort's immortality.

We have encountered two Horcruxes so far - the diary (Professor Riddle) and the Slytherin locket.

(He knows the identity of another Horcrux—himself.

But he wasn't going to tell Ron about it.

This was a secret known only to him and Ryan.

Dumbledore knew it, but he might not have been prepared to tell him.)
I heard about the origin of the diary from Draco.

This was his father's token of allegiance to Dumbledore.

But do you know what Voldemort told Draco's father?

Say it's a weapon and give it to a Hogwarts student if necessary.

Apparently, he was very careless with the precious soul fragments inside.

You see, the purpose of a Horcrux is to keep part of one's soul safely sealed away, rather than throwing it into the path of someone else and risking destruction - which actually happens: the diary becomes Professor Riddle, Voldemort's enemy.

what does this mean?
This means that Voldemort may have made - or is planning to make - more Horcruxes." Harry said, trying to hide his excitement.

"So, there are seven of them?" Ron thought of the question in Harry's Rune class.
