Chapter 34: Chaos
“There will definitely be another fight, no one will be convinced.”
In the lounge, Andrew was organizing his backpack while discussing the scene he saw with his roommates in the morning.
"We've already gone to mow the lawn, can we still fight?"
"It would be better if we don't fight on the lawn. Either they all go to the hospital, or there is an incident, or everyone who shouts people is put in solitary confinement..." Andrew zipped up his backpack, "We'll see, sooner or later. "I went to the library, are you with me?"
"Today is the first rest day of this school year... Oh my God... Andrew, you are too diligent even in Ravenclaw..."
"It's just that you guys are too smart," Andrew put his bag on his back and threw the pot away, "that's why you put so much pressure on me..."
He had already watched Quidditch with his roommates in the morning, and he had to catch up on his homework in the afternoon - Professor McGonagall had said before he entered school that some people who had just entered school were more knowledgeable than wizards who were about to graduate. , this backwardness was too obvious, and he couldn't help it.
"Wait, I'm going too!"
"Okay, count me in..."
…
In the end, other people in the dormitory were dragged away to the library.
——
"Look at this spell!"
Hal lowered his voice and pulled Andrew back from the world of transfiguration - the five of them occupied most of the long table, and Hal even walked around from the opposite side to show off.
【…
Here, I have to introduce a little evil curse that was very popular in our school days. It was very popular when we were studying.
It is not a spell officially included in textbooks, and it does not even have a fixed name among students. But this does not affect its usefulness at all.
We affectionately call it the 'shoelace spell', because the main target of this spell invented by someone unknown is shoelaces. It can make your opponent's shoelaces tightly entangled after casting, creating a similar leg lock. The effect of the spell - but this is not its main purpose.
I think you must have guessed that this is a magic used in the classroom, because even if this spell is just whispered, it can still make those annoying people's shoelaces tied to the chair...]
"How about it, Andrew."
Hal had a smirk on his face.
"Cool," Andrew nodded - generally speaking, the strength of the spells cast by wizards has a great relationship with the sound. In the words of Professor Flitwick, the louder the spell, the stronger the confidence, and the stronger the spell. high.
And it is only natural that this kind of spell that can cause harm in a low voice can become popular among students...
"I'll copy it and we can try it when we get back... This book has several interesting spells like this..."
Hal was very proud - he found this interesting book after looking for several good-looking books.
"Copy more, maybe you can save up enough Chocolate Frog cards this semester."
"That's for sure, knowledge is a valuable asset."
Amidst the occasional interruptions, Andrew successfully completed the paper required by Professor McGonagall before dinner. At the same time, the rest of the roommates could no longer stay in the library.
After Hal, they found a total of five small curses that looked like they could be learned in the first grade, and they were already eager to try them. Although it was still a while before dinner, he still returned to the dormitory with his roommates, considering that Mrs. Pingsi might do it together.
"Trying new spells! Hurry up, try one each, and whoever has a breakthrough will share it!"
"Just one for each person..."
Andrew stared at Hal with suspicious eyes, "Are you sure you didn't put in some spells that are too difficult for us to touch just because there is just one person for each person?"
"They are all minor curses - and they are not cast on people. They can summon a bull at most. And I suspect that Professor Flitwick is all lying to us."
Of course it was a lie - it just ignored the subject and used the mistakes of an adult wizard to warn the first years.
If the first-year students could make a cow with one spell, Hogwarts would have been trampled by the cows long ago - that was just a warning to dissuade the freshmen from paying attention to spellcasting.
In fact, the effect of most freshmen's spell-casting failures is that their feathers are too lazy to move, unless their casting movements are too deviated, and the wind brought by the wand is too big...
Andrew's allocation was very clever, just the magic that made the shoelaces move.
After thinking about it for a moment, he took the laces off an old pair of shoes and began trying to cast a spell.
The rest of the people followed suit, except for the necessary distance from Andrew at his request, and began to practice casting spells on the objects they found.
…
"I suspect this spell is fake...can it really make it rain on the other person's forehead until the large glass of water is used up?"
"This quill is a bit sticky, but I suspect my hands are sweaty after holding it too many times..."
"Be content...let a book occasionally bite your fingers when you open it...Hal, are you really sure you didn't copy it wrong?"
"Same, no response... I suspect that book lied to me."
Hal himself was a little discouraged - he had tried hard to select spells that looked like they could be used by first-year students. These spells were all used on objects. The more difficult spells that could be used on wizards were not something that rookies like them could do. operational.
"The effect on my side is pretty good. At least the shoelaces move, but tying knots still needs some practice." Andrew also shook his head in disappointment. "As for lowering the voice, it will also work. I think I can do it in at least two or three months." Not even ”
"Yeah...it seems like we're far behind...the one Andrew got has the possibility of casting spells, but I don't have the time to look for more traditional defensive spells..."
Hal looked disappointed, "There is no hope for Chocolate Frog Card. Go to the cafeteria early. It's important to eat."
However, when they came to the cafeteria, another tragic thing happened - according to the well-informed Hufflepuff, today's dinner would need to be postponed for about half an hour.
Although the Hufflepuffs were reluctant to reveal more information, the truth about the matter was quickly exposed.
In order to prevent the first-year students from starting another war, Filch decided to personally monitor (although Andrew thought he was planning to arrest someone again). Therefore, Peeves, the famous elf who was closely watched and wanted to cause trouble in the castle, lost most of his monitoring.
Not long ago, Peeves made a big fuss in the kitchen, got a bunch of bread, and was bombarding Gryffindors and Slytherins at the castle gate with their supper as bullets.
The current war situation is tense, but since it is Saturday, the senior class went to Hogsmeade, and the professors are on vacation, the war will not stop for a while...
