In the large Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the third floor.
As soon as Professor Derwent finished speaking, the students quickly put the thick textbooks placed on the table back into the drawer, and then took out their wands with excitement on their faces. Compared with studying boring textbooks, students love to be able to practice it, whether they are Muggles or wizards.
Wright also put the "Self-Defense Guide" into the moccasin hanging on his waist. Since that time he met Little Boothby selling things on Diagon Alley South Street, and he didn't bring a moccasin with him. Because of this, after having to bring the big box and the broomstick back to the Leaky Cauldron with a levitation spell, Wright remembered this lesson deeply. From then on, the mok bag almost never left his waist.
Wright reached out and wanted to put Chang Chu's book into the mok bag, but was ruthlessly rejected by her again.
"Okay!" Wright retracted his red hand from being slapped and looked at Chang Chu helplessly, "Since you don't want to put the book with me, then just put it in the drawer! But you can Tell me what happened today? Did I do something that particularly disgusted you?"
"Nothing!" After Chang Chu said this short word, he fell into silence again.
Wright had no choice but to quiet down.
After seeing that the students had put their belongings in safe places, Professor Derwent said: "Very good, please stay away from your desks now. I need to change the spatial distribution of this classroom."
The students stood up from their seats, and Professor Devont waved his wand.
As if he had turned on some switch, the whole classroom began to vibrate. The neat desks and chairs were submerged into the ground, and the stairs where the students stood began to slowly descend. The podium that was originally the bottom floor of the classroom now became the highest point of the classroom, and the area was slowly expanding.
Not long after, the renovation of the classroom was completed, and there was no longer any slight vibration on the ground. At this time, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the original one. The entire classroom seems to have been turned upside down. It is not the original ladder classroom now, but more like it is in an empty square. A pyramid with a huge flat top was placed.
Professor Derwent stood at the top of the pyramid, where the podium was originally located, but now it had become a huge platform.
He waved his hand to the students below: "Now, everyone, come up! I think this platform should be enough to accommodate nearly a hundred students from your four colleges."
Wright and Chang Chu walked to the platform with the first-year Ravenclaw students, and students from the other three colleges also climbed onto the platform from other directions. Due to the previous placement, the freshmen from the four colleges consciously sat together according to the divisions of the colleges.
At this time, a small platform was raised in the center of the platform. Professor Derwent was standing on the platform looking down at the square array of students of different colors on the platform.
Professor Derwent showed a big smile to the students: "Very good, now that you are all here, let's start the formal teaching! The first thing you have to learn is the disarming spell. The activation spell is: Expelliarmus!"
"Now, spread out and I will assign each of you a practice dummy," Professor Devonte said.
…
Wright held the wand he bought at Ollivander's Wand Store with his right hand. Although he didn't know its material and core, Wright felt that he and this wand fit together unexpectedly.
Wright twirled his wand and said, "Expelliarmus."
A red light shot out from the top of Wright's wand and successfully hit the dummy standing opposite him. The wooden stick in the dummy's hand was immediately knocked away by the power of the spell, but it flew away automatically after a few seconds. return. This situation has happened twelve times in this minute.
Chang Chu, who was standing not far from Wright, was looking at Wright. The moment Professor Derwent announced that students could practice on their own, Wright was already able to cast this spell. She didn't know whether it was because of Wright's talent or because Wright himself had practiced a lot in secret, but she still couldn't cast the disarming spell until now.
Chang Chu felt that the distance between her and Wright seemed to be getting further apart again.
And Wright had no idea what Chang Chu was thinking now.
He just repeated "Expelliarmus" again.
About ten minutes later, Professor Derwent looked back at the students. At this time, most of the students in the classroom have already used Expelliarmus at least once, which is enough.
"That's enough." Professor Derwent used a loud voice on his throat, "I see that most of you have succeeded at least once, and due to time constraints, now let's start the second and third ones. The teaching of three magic spells.”
The practice dummy that had just risen from the ground sank into the ground again.
"The spell of the Stunning Curse is to faint, while the spell of the Iron Armor Curse is to protect the body with armor." Professor Derwent said, "These two spells are not very difficult, but you need to practice in pairs. When I find that most of you can perform one of these two spells on a practice dummy, I'll have you regroup and continue practicing now!"
It was another ten minutes before Professor Derwent announced the team practice.
…
Wright waved his wand downward: "Armor protection!"
A silver-white shield visible to the naked eye appeared in front of Wright, resisting a beam of red light coming from directly in front of him, which was the coma light. Whenever someone casts Stun, a red stun ray will shine from the tip of their wand.
The red light hit the silver shield, making a slight "pop" sound, and then immediately dissipated.
Chang Chu, who was standing opposite Wright, pursed her lips. Her originally beautiful red-pink lips were pressed hard into a thin white line. After Professor Derwent announced that the two would practice as a team, she immediately approached Wright. She wanted to see how big the gap between herself and Wright was. She is obviously a natural witch, while Wright is just a Muggle child who has been exposed to the magical world for less than three months!
However, what made her a little desperate was that in the past five minutes, she had not been able to break through the thin silver shield in front of Wright, not even once.
Chang Chu frowned, and once again called out the name of a curse, and another ray of red light flew towards Wright, this time it was a disarming curse.
