A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 205 Flitwick's Seventeen Duels Teaching

For the little wizards at Hogwarts, the duel class on Thursdays of the second and fourth weeks of each month is definitely a large-scale competitive social activity to recuperate the body and mind and exercise the hands and feet.

In the eyes of many people, this course is expected to be comparable to the Quidditch competition.At least they can actually participate, rather than as a spectator on the court.

The auditorium was full of people, and before the professor arrived, the students were in piles and chatting enthusiastically with each other.Harry saw Percy talking loudly about how he obtained 12 OWLs certificates, and Hermione's eyes lit up beside him.

"I'll be right back," said Hermione, leaving Harry and Ron behind.

They saw her squeeze into the crowd, whispering something, and Percy's eyes widened quickly, a little casually at first.The two quickly passed the crowd and rushed to the corner of the auditorium where four long tables were piled up.

As they passed the twins, Percy stopped and warned them, "I don't know what you guys do to avoid my sight, maybe a tracking spell or something—"

The twins looked at each other, and Fred squeezed his eyes and said, "Did you hear that, George, the tracing spell...another fruitful day!"

George saluted exaggeratedly, with one hand behind his back: "Noble deed, Percy! Just to add to the great cause of mischief, we will leave you a name."

"Big slap—"

"No, a big badge is enough. We only need to write down the two words "big-headed boy."

Not far away, Harry let out a "chichi" laugh. He quickly shifted his gaze and stared at Ginny who was at the side. Her face turned red quickly, as if her good friend Luna Love had fainted. The posture in Gude's arms.

"Need me to tell you a bad joke?" Luna said abruptly, her eyes widening. Harry was used to it, he knew this little girl always did.

"Any insight, Luna?" He cast a quick glance in Percy's direction, where they were already standing under a piece of armor, whispering.

"Your mind is a mess. Recently, a group of sojourner mobs must have built a nest in your mind..." Luna shook the bracelet solemnly, "I can help you get rid of them."

"How?" said Harry, catching a glimpse of Professor Hemp at the door of the Great Hall.

"You need to quiet down first and become less attractive to the harassing gadfly..."

"Thanks, I don't think I've got any weird stuff like that in my head," said Harry quickly.

Professor Haip and Snape came in, which he didn't expect, no, there was another professor, Flitwick, who he just missed.

Hermione hurried back from a distance, and the little wizards consciously stood up according to the college.

Felix blessed himself with a loud voice, and said loudly: "Welcome back to dueling class, little wizards! I saw many familiar faces, and many new faces..."

In front of their respective houses, a row of little beanies looked around cautiously and curiously. They were the freshmen of their respective houses this year, and Harry saw that little witch named 'Romeda Vane' staring at Professor Haipu with starry eyes. .

"Before the course starts, please allow me to introduce to you that we have welcomed the third resident professor of dueling class, Filius Flitwick!"

The diminutive Flitwick took a few steps forward. He was dressed very formally today in a tight little suit. He twirled his wand gracefully as if holding a baton.

There was enthusiastic cheers from Ravenclaw House, and clusters of sparks were released from the crowd, finally forming an eagle that symbolized Ravenclaw House.

Harry figured they must have borrowed the pattern from the answer parchment—they looked alike.

Students from other colleges were also applauding desperately. In terms of popularity, Flitwick was definitely the best among the deans of the four colleges.

"Thank you, thank you——" Flitwick was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, he took out a handkerchief embroidered with a Ravenclaw pattern and wiped the corners of his eyes, "I'm so excited today, it's like standing on a podium for the first time. "

Today is Flitwick's special session. Felix and Snape deliberately played down their own existence, allowing Flitwick to show his charm.And Flitwick bowed to the two professors, and then cast the spell to his heart's content. In his hands, spell casting seemed to be equated with art.

After a few minutes of showing off, Flitwick got down to business.He shook his wand, and from the tip of the wand spewed a cloud of bronze-colored smoke. The smoke condensed into blurred figures, standing on the gilded stage.

These bronze-colored figures faced each other in pairs, as if engaged in a duel.Each pair had a little wizard who was supposed to be Flitwick.

The little wizards counted carefully, and there were seventeen groups.

Flitwick said sharply: "Please allow me to search for a moment of glory in my memory. It was more than 60 years ago... After seventeen duels, I was awarded the title of Wizard Dueling Champion in 1931." .”

He waved his wand, and the first group of bronze figures moved: the tall wizard raised his hand and cast a spell, and the short figure counterattacked with his head down, knocking down his opponent with a single blow.

Flitwick acted as a commentator and said: "See? My opponent underestimated the enemy. He thought I was short and my level must not be very good, but this is one of the easiest victories I have won."

"It's short, but it's also very exciting. We can learn a lot from it..."

"First, never underestimate the enemy in a duel. Many of you can think of this, but not many wizards really do it;"

"What else? That's right, seize the moment. Instead of standing still and defending, I launched a counterattack. This also reminds us that wizards are the most vulnerable when attacking. You must protect yourself and learn to stay safe." room;"

"It won't be easy in the future. Does anyone know? Just remind me, it has something to do with my unique height." Flitwick looked expectantly at the little wizard in the audience.

Harry's eyes lit up, he had heard similar expressions before, from Professor Hype!

He was the first to raise his hand, and when his name was called, he said a little excitedly: "Create a combat system that best suits you based on your personal characteristics."

Flitwick laughed, "Great, Potter! Yes, personal characteristics, this is very important, each of us is unique, you have to accept everything about yourself, good, bad..."

"I used to worry about my height and size. In most cases, I had to hold my head up in a duel. Another disadvantage of being small was that I couldn't move fast enough, and my arms weren't long enough. It is easy to judge the coverage area of ​​my spell."

The young wizards listened quietly, wondering how Professor Flitwick had solved these problems.

"—but I came out of the shadows later, and I accepted my imperfections. After a while, my height became my advantage. Few wizards have the experience of dueling with short people like me. They always It’s about coping with mistakes, either mentality or habit.”

"My body shape makes it easier for me to avoid spells, and I no longer pursue movement speed, but exercise more flexible steps..."

Flitwick said with emotion on his face, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and he heard someone in his college shouting "Dean, you are the best!" He couldn't help but wiped the corners of his eyes again.

"Next, we watched the second duel, and I met a very interesting person, and we became friends later."

……

More than an hour passed, and Flitwick used his own experience to describe real duel scenes to the young wizards, and the students felt that they had gained a lot.

Harry even thought he could cram the words verbatim into a paper and hand it to Professor Heap.

But this kind of thing can only be thought about.

Felix walked to the center of the gilded stage, smiled and said: "There is less than half an hour left, I discussed it with the two professors, and then we will change it to a mentoring battle.

Students choose professors to receive one-on-one instruction, and after a whole year and a summer vacation last year, many of you are very confident in your own level..."

He looked around and saw eager faces.

"Then, let's show it!"
