Chapter 56： 2 feet (1/2)
Originally, I wanted to be Fred and George who were finally struggling, but after all they could not master the descaling curse in one night. Of course, what made them give up completely is Albert's sentence: Filch will not necessarily allow you to use magic.
The next day, in the spell class, Professor Flitwick checked everyone's practice. Compared with the students in Gryffindor, very few Hufflepuff students successfully mastered the luminous spell.
Professor Flitwick took five minutes to review the content taught in the previous class, and then began to talk about the anti-curse and extinguishing curse of the luminous curse.
”The extinguishing curse can not only be used to extinguish the glowing curse on the wand, it can also extinguish ordinary light sources.” Professor Flitwick pointed to a candle on the table, took the wand and tapped it, ”No X.”
The candlelight went out, as if someone had reached out to pinch it out.
”As you can see, the spell to extinguish the curse is Knox, and this spell is also suitable for extinguishing the burning flame.”
”Fluorescence flickers.” After Professor Flitwick finished chanting the spell, the top of the wand lit up with a pale light, ”Knox.” After the professor chanted the spell again, the light on the wand disappeared again.
After Professor Flitwick finished speaking about the extinguishing mantra in class, he left the remaining time for everyone to practice the mantra.
”Fluorescence flashes... Knox.” Albert tried several times and succeeded. In order to further verify the effect of the spell, he also changed himself to a candle. After lighting it, he tried to extinguish the flame on the candle.
”I succeeded, too.” Lee Jordan was in a good mood. After a dozen attempts of practice, the spell successfully extinguished the light on the wand, and then followed Albert to extinguish the wax fire.
According to Professor Flitwick’s description, extinguishing a blazing fire is more difficult than extinguishing a glowing spell.
”How angry!” Fred is still working hard to master the Illuminating Charm, not only him, but also some students in the class.
In the end, only three people succeeded in extinguishing the light on the wand, and Diggory of Hufflepuff was one of them.
Before the end of the curse class, Professor Flitwick assigned a new homework for everyone, writing a thesis report on the light-emitting curse and the extinguishing curse, which must be at least two feet long and handed in before class next Monday.
George muttered softly, ”Two feet long, Professor Flitwick must be crazy!”
For little wizards who have basically never written a paper, and should say that they have not touched a quill pen, writing a two-foot-long parchment is a difficult challenge, even if you want to find a bunch of words to fill two feet. Long parchment is not easy.
”Actually, this kind of essay report is very simple.” Albert glanced at George, something strange and rare. ”You just have to copy the origins of the light-emitting curse and the lights-out curse, and then write something about your learning of the light-emitting curse. When you encounter problems, go to the library to find some knowledge about this and copy it up, and finally write a summary report or something. Two feet long is almost impossible to read.
In fact, Albert knows very well that Professor Flitwick did not expect freshmen to write well in their first homework.
To put it bluntly, this paper is just to let everyone know more about the light-emitting mantra and the light-off mantra, and to deepen everyone's understanding and use of the mantra.
In his last life, Albert wrote many similar things when he was in college. Although it has been a long time, he still understands something.
”It's that simple?” Li Qiaodan's eyes widened in disbelief.
”It's so simple?” Alia stared at each other fiercely, and said sarcastically, ”When you start to write, you will find that it's not that simple. But thanks to Albert, I know I should be there. Something is written on the feet of parchment.”
