Hogwarts Reading Days

On the way to the Great Hall, Albert had been chatting with Fred, George, and Lee Jordan about what had happened in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.He noticed that the three were wavering about whether Professor Moody was someone else's fake.

He wasn't surprised. Professor Moody's lectures in class had a strong personal touch, and only Professor Moody, who was an Auror, could teach everyone the experience of fighting dark wizards.

Albert did not intend to express his opinion on this matter. In his opinion, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all took this matter too much for granted.

That was risking his life, sneaking into Hogwarts as an undercover agent disguised as a professor, and not here to deliver Dumbledore's head, how could it be possible for others to see the flaw at a glance?

If Albert didn't know anything, it might be difficult to see through Moody's disguise.

Unfortunately, he knows everything, and Moody, oh, Barty Jr. knows nothing.

He didn't know that there were people who knew everything, and he didn't know that he worked so hard to ask Mad-Eye about habits and practices, and tried to pretend to be Mad-Eye, only to meet a guy who peeked at the script, which was a sad story.

Everyone quickly brought the topic to wandless magic, and they were all envious of such handsome wandless magic skills.

No way, the scene where Albert pushed the spell away with his hands was simply too cool.

Although the three of them had seen Albert do similar things before, Albert was wearing a defensive bracelet at that time, with the help of magic props, and what he just cast was genuine wandless magic.

"Professor Moody's statement is actually inaccurate. Wandless magic is not a skill that only highly skilled wizards can master." Albert said to the three.

"Can you teach us?" Fred looked at Albert expectantly.

"Teach what?" Shanna came over with food, "Does the Defense Association continue?"

"No, I don't have time, and there is no need. Professor Moody can teach you a lot of useful things. The experience of an old Auror is a fortune." Albert said with a smile.

When Albert said about the old Auror, George had a weird expression on his face.

"Learning wandless magic requires a lot of energy. Under normal circumstances, I recommend that everyone learn silent spells. Silent spells are more practical than wandless magic. Moreover, I think Moody should teach us silent spells." Albert asked Take a seat and sit down to eat.

"I've heard people say that silent spells are difficult to master." Angelina asked again, "Is it true that we won't be holding defense association gatherings? I always feel that Professor Moody is unlikely to teach us some more practical spells, although his Talking from experience is indeed very good, but I prefer the feeling of everyone practicing magic together in the Defense Association."

"You can hold parties by yourself." Albert said without hesitation, "I can recommend a few useful books to you, and you can practice magic by yourself."

"Forget it, without you, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't come to the party." Angelina is very self-aware. Why so many people in Albert's defense association are willing to participate is entirely due to Albert's personal charm and cohesion , it would be difficult for ordinary people to do it.

"I recently discovered a very interesting magazine." Alia took out the magazine she received yesterday and shared it with everyone. It was "Defense Guide".

She found that Fred and the others were a little silent, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, we have read this magazine, and the content is not bad."

After receiving Albert's warning look, George coughed lightly and changed the subject, "You guys have diverted the topic, Albert was going to teach us wandless magic just now."

Several girls were also interested, and all looked at Albert.

"Wandless magic is difficult to perform, the operation is not accurate enough, and it is easy to cause unexpected consequences, so I suggest that everyone use the easier-to-use luminous spell to train." Abel seemed to be demonstrating to everyone, raised his left index finger, and a ray of light appeared Condensed at the tip of the finger, "The trick is to cast the spell without using a wand, and at first you may feel like you're... holding your breath."

It seemed that he realized that he was eating now. In order not to affect everyone's appetite, Albert changed the word constipation to suffocation.

"puff!"

Lee Jordan almost spit out the food in his mouth, but luckily he immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

"Are you sure that will work?"

"It's similar to practicing silent spells, but it's more difficult. Because you don't rely on a magic wand, it's hard to use complex magic. More often than not, you need strong willpower, and you also need a strong magical power. It's a bit similar to childhood The magic is out of control, like this." As he said, Albert picked up the spoon and focused his attention on the spoon as if to prove to them.

In the eyes of everyone, the spoon seemed to be twisted into a piece of scrap iron by an invisible force.

"Is this wandless magic?"

"Well, you can also regard it as a loss of control of magic power. Didn't Potter get out of control last semester and inflate his aunt?" Albert pulled out his wand, tapped the spoon, and restored it to its original shape.

"Wandless magic is to control your own magical power under guidance. Don't think I'm fooling you." Albert gave everyone an example casually, "Most of Waggadu's students know how to use wandless magic. Staff magic."

"How is it possible, how did they do it." Angelina asked in disbelief.

"They can easily use wandless magic because they cast spells without a wand since they were young, and they gradually got used to using wandless magic. However, it is difficult to cast magic without a wand, and it is difficult not to use too advanced magic. Advantages But even if you don't have a wand handy, you don't have to worry about being unable to do anything, and there will be no evidence left."

"I remember you mentioned last semester that you were attacked by Waggadu students during the Magic School Potions Tournament," Fred recalled.

"That's an old trick of the Ouagadu students. They like to attack the students of other colleges when they are picking raw materials. Since they don't use magic wands, they don't leave any evidence, and they don't have to worry about being caught."

"What happened?" Shanna asked curiously.

"Of course I brought that bastard down." Albert shrugged, "I only knew that Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts was the worst among a dozen schools of magic and magic when I participated in the Potions Tournament. Yes, and notoriously bad."

"He was more unlucky, and he encountered a hard stubble." George said with a smile, "However, listening to you, wandless magic is really convenient, and it is very practical for sneak attacks. Many wizards don't use wands when their opponents don't have wands. would be too vigilant."

"Because in their impression, wandless magic is a skill that only highly skilled wizards can master." It's not difficult for Albert to understand this, just like how Muggles feel about guns.

In fact, this is indeed the case in the UK, at least there should not be many wizards who can do this in the UK wizarding world.

"If we want to master wandless magic, how long will it take?"

"If you want to master it initially, it should take half a year at the slowest. As long as you practice the luminous spell hard within half a year, you will definitely be able to master the luminous spell without using a wand. After you master the luminous spell, you can practice other wandless spells When it is magic, it will become easier." Albert thought for a moment and gave a relatively conservative statistic.He feels that they practice hard every day. At their current age, as long as they are not squibs, they should be able to do it.

"Half a year, master the wandless and use the luminous spell?"

Several people were silent. It was impossible for them to spend a lot of time and energy on learning, and the result was to master a simple radiance spell.

What the hell is going on!

"It's normal, because you haven't always practiced wandless magic. This is the same as mastering your mother tongue and learning another foreign language." Albert made a simple metaphor.

"I didn't see how difficult it is for you to learn a foreign language!" George couldn't help complaining.

Albert really didn't lie to them. Although he was able to use wandless magic proficiently more from panel skills, it didn't mean he knew nothing about how to train wandless magic. Taking the first step from scratch is actually the most difficult Yes, that's why he thought it would take half a year.

"Forget it. If you have the energy, let's study our joke props. We are developing an enhanced version of the fake wand recently!" George gave up directly.

"what is that?"

"A kind of fake wand. When a wizard uses this wand to cast a spell, the wand will become something." Fred introduced to the three girls. Catch a fish or a chicken."

If you can secretly replace a wizard's wand with a fake one, it will really make a joke when they need to use it.

"We are preparing to create an enhanced version of the fake wand, which will beat the unsuspecting user after use." George introduced to everyone.

"Sounds good." Lee Jordan commented.

"My suggestion is best to beat the user hard." Albert suggested.

The corner of Fred's mouth twitched slightly, "Will this be too harsh?"

"It will come in handy soon, and you can make various versions and sell it at different prices." Albert said suddenly, "I have a good idea, you can actually make all kinds of interesting easter eggs, put They are placed in the gashapon machine for customers to choose at will. After opening the eggs, various prizes and surprises will appear. For example, after opening the eggs, they release a disgusting breath that stuns people and beats them up. The hair is dyed and stood up, or burst into fireworks. Of course, there also needs to be valuable prizes inside, like opening a chocolate frog and there will be a chocolate character card, but no one knows what surprises are inside."

"It's a good idea. It's called a surprise egg. It's very suitable as a birthday gift and Christmas gift for friends. No one knows what surprises will be opened from the egg." George immediately took out his notebook and recorded this good idea. He thought This thing should be very popular with children.

"I don't think anyone likes to receive such a gift." Aliya couldn't help complaining.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang" from the foyer, followed by the screams of several people, breaking the atmosphere in the hall.People who were eating and chatting turned their heads towards the entrance of the hall, wondering what happened in the hall.

Lee Jordan, who likes to gossip, naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity, he just dropped the half-eaten dinner and ran over to join in the fun.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Moody shouted from outside: "Don't touch it."

"It seems that something interesting happened." Albert retracted his gaze and continued to eat dinner without being affected at all.

"Aren't you going out to have a look?" Fred dropped the fork in his hand, ready to go over there to see what was going on, and more and more students gathered there.

"Aren't you curious?" Shanna asked.

"Curiosity killed the cat, and when Lee Jordan comes back, he will know what's going on outside." Albert finished the beef stew on the plate.

"Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret and made him jump around in mid-air, as if to punish Malfoy for trying to sneak up on Harry from behind." Lee Jordan briefly described what he saw.

Fred and George were also listening. When they passed, they saw Moody grabbing Malfoy's arm and dragging him towards the dungeon, as if to find Snape.

"Snape's expression must have been brilliant."

"Professor Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret, floating and jumping in mid-air?" Albert asked, putting down his fork.

"Yeah, I always thought Professor Moody hated Malfoy," Lee Jordan muttered under his breath. "Under normal circumstances, professors in the school should not punish students in this way. In the end, Professor McGonagall stopped by."

"Moody hates sneak attacks from behind, remember what he said in class just now?" Fred reminded.

"I think there is another reason." George lowered his voice, "Do you still remember the chaos at the World Cup? Many people think it was done by Death Eaters, and most Death Eaters are pure-blood wizards. There are only a few people in the blood family, and many people think that Lucius Malfoy took the lead in making trouble that night."

"Is there any evidence?" Aliya raised her eyebrows slightly.

"When the mysterious man lost power, Lucius Malfoy was accused, and finally pretended that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse and escaped." Albert continued the topic for George, "Some of my friends I also think it was a fish that slipped through the net back then, and Professor Moody is very hostile to dark wizards, so he naturally hates being considered as the descendants of dark wizards, especially Malfoy trying to sneak attack Harry."

Of course Albert knew the reason why Crouch Jr. was hostile to Malfoy.

"But why did they run away when they saw the Dark Mark?"

"It may not be the same group of people, and Death Eaters and drunken wizards are of two different natures. Only Death Eaters know how to release the Dark Mark, which means they will be targeted by the Ministry of Magic."

This incident spread quickly, not only them, but everyone around was excitedly discussing what happened just now. The story of Malfoy turning into a ferret will soon become the latest news in Hogwarts. hot topic.
