The years of welding at Hogwarts

However, there was no disappointment in Professor McGonagall's eyes.

After all, turning dead objects into living things is something that is taught in Transfiguration after the third year at Hogwarts. Noah's ability to turn a matchbox into a jewelry box has far exceeded her expectations.

Moreover, Noah was not a complete failure.

He successfully made the matchbox present the dark luster of the rhinoceros beetle's hard shell, but he failed because he was not familiar with a series of relevant prerequisite knowledge required for the transformation of living and dead things.

Professor McGonagall's eyes became brighter and brighter, but the next second, a deep regret flashed in her eyes.

Hey, such a good child, why did he go to Slytherin?

Didn't Dumbledore say that he wanted her to be the child's guardian?

Is it too late for her to regret now?

She remembered that Snape didn't seem to like this child very much?

To be precise, Snape didn't like children. He just loved Lily's daughter so much because he cared for her. If it was Harry, well...

If it was Harley, then maybe the ending would be different?

In that case, could she ask Snape for the child?

Now that the custody has been transferred, it shouldn't be a problem for her to ask Dumbledore to change Noah's college, right?

This seems like...

Isn't it impossible?

The curve at the corner of Professor McGonagall's mouth became more and more obvious.

When she was done with her lessons, she went to Dumbledore and made this sensible suggestion.

But before that, she needs to build a good relationship with the child.

She looked at the second-grade Transfiguration textbook on Noah's desk, "Have you finished the first-grade textbook?"

"I have almost finished the second grade textbook."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall turned around and walked back to the podium, and took out a textbook from the drawer of the podium. The cover looked a little old, but it was spotless.

Amid the eager eyes of the Ravenclaws around her, Professor McGonagall walked up to Noah with the yellowed notebook and handed him the textbook.

"This is the textbook I used when I was in school. If you have finished the second grade content, you can take a look at the third grade content first."

"If you have any questions about Transfiguration or something that you don't understand, you can come to my office every Wednesday night to ask me."

Noah was stunned when he looked down at the textbook full of notes in his hand.

Is this considered blatant special treatment?

……

Until the end of the get out of class, among all the young wizards in the classroom, only Hermione, Shirley and Draco made some tiny changes in the matches in their hands.

Hermione and Shirley performed the Transfiguration so perfectly that it was impossible to tell that it was a match.

Draco's transformation was less complete, it would be more appropriate to say that it was an iron bar.

In the past, Hermione and Shirley's performance would obviously be enough to surprise Professor McGonagall.

But with a rough diamond like Noah in front of them, the brilliance emitted by Shirley and Hermione was simply not worth mentioning, so Professor McGonagall just gave them five points each.

After class, they walked towards the auditorium. Hermione couldn't stop looking at the schoolbag on Noah's back.

Noah felt a chill down his spine when he saw Hermione's eyes. He reluctantly took off his schoolbag, took out the textbook that Professor McGonagall had given him, and threw it to Hermione.

"Remember to return the notes above to me after you copy them."

"Really?" Hermione said so, but her body honestly hid the book in her ordinary arms, as if she was afraid that Noah would go back on his word.

Noah was even more helpless. How could you, a freshman in the first grade, need a third grade textbook?

Have you finished Transfiguration for the second grade? Are you just reading the third grade textbook?

……

After experiencing the disappointing Defense Against the Dark Arts and the wonderful Transfiguration, the freshmen of Slytherin and Ravenclaw had lunch and welcomed the second practical course they had been looking forward to in the afternoon.

Charms.

If you were to ask which course at Hogwarts is the most important, it would undoubtedly be Charms.

In the modern magic world that pursues convenient spellcasting, spells can be said to be the basis of all magic.

The emergence of standardized spellcasting has greatly reduced the difficulty of spellcasting for wizards.

You don't have to understand the principles of magic. As long as you correctly master the pronunciation of a magic spell and the casting gestures, and with a little personal ability, you can cast a magic.

Because of this, in the magic world

Many wizards directly understand learning magic as mastering the use of spells.

This reduces the difficulty of learning magic to a certain extent, allowing wizards with less outstanding talents to cast a wide variety of standard magic.

Of course, this has also caused the degradation of the magical abilities of modern wizards to a certain extent.

However, the existence of standardized spellcasting is not something that young wizards who are just entering the magical world should consider.

Now they only wanted to know one thing, that is, what kind of wonderful lectures Professor Flitwick, who was the head of one of the four colleges at Hogwarts together with Professor McGonagall, would give them.

After a short lunch break, all the little wizards came to the Charms classroom early, waiting for Professor Flitwick's arrival with excitement on their faces.

Filius Flitwick, professor of Charms, is a rather special professor.

Because Professor Flitwick is half fairy, his height is quite difficult to describe, barely reaching the chests of these first-year students.

So, when he was teaching, he had to put a pile of books under his feet so that he could show himself from behind the podium which seemed quite tall for him.

In addition, the Charms classroom was designed as the kind of lecture hall commonly seen in universities.

This was also to take into account Professor Flitwick's height.

Otherwise, unless Professor Flitwick found a few more books to prop himself up a little higher, it would be difficult for him to observe what was happening in class for each little wizard from behind the podium.

At the same time, the young wizards sitting in the back row also found it difficult to see their Charms professor.

But people should not be judged by their appearance.

While bloodline closed a door for Professor Flitwick, it also opened a window for him.

Cross-species hybrid wizards always have advantages in some aspects that ordinary human wizards cannot achieve.

For example, Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, is a half-giant, and his giant blood gives him natural strength and resistance to magic.

There are also half-blooded veela, who are unrivaled in appearance. Many old lecherous male wizards are proud to marry a veela or a half-blooded veela.

As a half-blood wizard, Professor Flitwick's talent lies in magic.

When he was young, he was the dueling champion of the European wizard dueling world.

This is different from the Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award that Gilderoy Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in Noah's future second year, was proud of.

Those awards look fancy but are actually worthless and are just crap honors.

The dueling championship is to the wizard dueling world what the Nobel Prize is to physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, the Fields Medal is to mathematics, and the Turing Award is to computers...

In line with the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something less than perfect", in many cases, if there is no duelist who can meet the standards, the title of duel champion will be left vacant instead of being downgraded and awarded to a tall person who is barely selected from a group of short people.

Before Professor Flitwick, its previous holder was Albus Dumbledore.

The one before that was...

Gellert Grindelwald.

Chapter 41 Fang Tian Hua Ji, stabbing the Godfather

However, although the freshmen were looking forward to Professor Flitwick giving them an unparalleled spells class, the final result of the class was quite disappointing.

Because Professor Flitwick didn't teach them any of the magic they expected.

A group of freshmen who have just come into contact with magic, what can they do?

Apart from the one who used cheats and the few alternative beings around him, most of the freshmen didn't even master the most basic unlocking and lighting spells.

Even if Professor Flitwick had great ability, he could only teach them to start from the two most basic things in casting spells - the pronunciation of spells and the gestures of waving the staff.

"Can anyone tell me what the four basic gestures are when casting spells with a wand?"

Hermione immediately raised her hand high.

"Miss Granger, please answer this question."

"Loose, lively, elastic, and shaking!"

"Very good, two points for Ravenclaw."

……

Sitting in the middle of the crowd, Noah looked at the curly-haired baboons waving their magic wands around him, with a melancholy expression on his face.

He does not share the same sorrows and joys as humans; he only feels that they are noisy.

When everyone around was waving a short and sharp stick, Noah, who was sitting there reading a book silently and motionlessly, seemed a little eye-catching.

Flitwick, who was patrolling the classroom and correcting the improper movements of the little wizards, naturally noticed it quickly.

"Student, where is your wand?"

Hearing the same question that Professor McGonagall had asked him just this morning, Noah was silent for a while and opened his palms.

A palm-sized circular magic circle appeared on his palm.

The next moment, he pulled out a Fang Tian Hua Ji from the magic circle.

It is the real Fang Tian Huaji.

After all, he was going to have Snape as his godfather, and he would feel insecure without a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.

Therefore, more than half a month ago, Noah had someone customize a halberd head for the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and then installed it on this two-meter-long halberd handle.

Although the length is far less than the one in Lu Bu's hand, it is just enough for Noah's height.

just.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Professor Flitwick widened his eyes in surprise.

He was not surprised by Noah's special magic wand, but was surprised by his wandless spell casting just now, and the magic he cast was space magic that he had never seen before.

Hermione and Draco, who were standing by, had expressions of shock on their faces that were no less than Professor Flitwick's.

Is this the reason why Noah always casts spells without a wand?

After opening his mouth for a long time, Professor Flitwick gradually calmed down and asked in a rather surprised tone, "What kind of magic is this?"

Noah tilted his head.

"This is just an ordinary traceless extension spell, except that the carrier of the spell is changed from a container with internal space to the space itself."

"Directly open up another space in space?" Professor Flitwick grasped the key point of the words.

"That's about it. It's a very simple principle." Noah said modestly.

Hiding weapons in a small constructed space and carrying them with you is just a basic operation that all Kamar-Taj's mystic apprentices know.

In Noah's opinion, this operation is really nothing to brag about.

But in the eyes of the stunned little beaver, Noah's appearance was just a naked show-off.

Traceless stretching spell!

That is the advanced magic they will learn in the subsequent NEWTs advanced class of spell learning after they have passed the fifth-grade OWLs exam!

Hermione clenched her fists. She originally thought that although the gap between her and Noah was big, at least it was not an unbridgeable gap.

But now it seems that the gap between people is even bigger than the gap between people and dogs.

"It is almost impossible to open up space directly..."

Flitwick's description of this magic was not quite accurate, so Noah thought about it and added a few more words.

"So we can use magic to build a carrier for performing the Traceless Extension Spell."

He motioned for Professor Flitwick to look at the circular magic circle that was still rotating in his palm. This palm-sized magic circle was the carrier he used to carry the Traceless Extension Charm.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the corners of Professor Flitwick's mouth kept twitching.

Casting spells without a wand, materializing magic power, and constructing alchemical magic circles out of thin air...
