International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 314 Wand Inspection

Professor Moody is always surprising.Professor Moody used his unique way of teaching to win a comment among his classmates: cool.It can be said that he is the coolest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

When they took their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he directly asked the little wizards to put away their textbooks, and then there was a hard-core, practical teaching full of dry goods.

In Moody's eyes, thanks to the reliable Lupine, the little wizards have mastered enough knowledge to deal with all kinds of dark magic animals, but they are not enough to deal with the dark magic.

So, in the first class, he showed the little wizards what the three unforgivable curses are, and then in the second class, he began to teach various common spells and their counter-curses, and then let the students understand the three unforgivable curses. He casts the spells, and it's up to him to demonstrate how they bounce.

It was quite interesting, and the little wizards enjoyed it, but soon trouble came: Moody said he would cast a spell on them, and see if anyone could block it with the learned counter-spell.

The situation is not optimistic. Except for a few little wizards, almost no one can stop the spell of the former Auror Moody...

But under this intensity of training, the spellcasting level of the little wizards has improved visible to the naked eye.

In addition to the change of teaching content, the homework pressure of this semester has also increased sharply. The reason is very simple-Professor McGonagall said that their OWLs exam is approaching, and everyone should prepare early.

Start preparing a year in advance...

Everyone was speechless about this, but there was nothing they could do.

As the day approached November 11th, Lu Ren felt as if he was the only one idle, the other students were busy with their homework, Hermione was also in the library as a whole, and she didn't even go to the Room of Requirement much.

Hagrid's snails were thriving, but there was one shortcoming—in the eyes of the students, an advantage: they were so keen on killing each other that Hagrid had to keep them in separate boxes.For this behavior, Hagrid's explanation is that they have too much energy and nowhere to release to kill each other.To solve this problem, each student went for a walk with a snail.

The snails are almost three feet long now, and they are so powerful that they are difficult to control with just physical strength, not to mention their explosive tails.They grow a thick, shiny, off-white shell on the outside, which makes them look more like lobsters, or the overlord of the Cambrian period: odd shrimps.

Taking such a creature for a walk is an absolute torture.

Amidst the sighs of the little wizards, Hagrid called Lu Ren out alone: ​​the two of them had to work together to deal with the biggest snail.Of course, the snail was just a cover, Hagrid's real intention was to avoid the whole class and have a chat with Lu Ren.

"How? They look happy, don't they?"

The "they" here must be referring to the slush, after all, it is easy to see from the screams of the little wizards that they are not happy.The current fried-tailed snails can move several meters with just one jump, and they cannot be held back by the strength of the fourth graders alone.

Seeing that the useless students were paying attention, Hagrid lowered his voice and said, "The first project, are you ready?"

"If it's against those cute magical animals, then I'm ready." Lu Ren blinked at Hagrid, Hagrid froze for a moment, he had no idea that Lu Ren had guessed the content of the first item!

He laughed.

"That's right!" He patted the fried-tailed snail on the ground vigorously, making it completely confused. "You are such a fan of magical animals, you must be able to deal with it very well!"

Hagrid relaxed and concentrated on dealing with his snails.

There's a very real benefit to being a Warrior: no final exam stress.

It's cool when you think about it?When other students were struggling with exams, Lu Ren could easily fish for fish, and even get "lenient treatment" when it came to handing in homework.

Anyway, Harry and Ron are very envious.Only Hermione would say something like: If you don't prepare for the review, it will be too late to get ready for the OWLs.And the pinnacle of this benefit reached its pinnacle in a Potions class.

When Professor Snape was interrupted from teaching, he was very upset, and he asked in the most impatient tone, "What's the matter?"

Harry's fanboy, Colin Creevey, replied: "I'm sorry, Professor, I'm going to take Lu Ren upstairs."

Brother, you are very brave.This is the first thought that pops into most people's minds.And the courage that Colin finally summoned disappeared with Professor Snape's death gaze.

Snape looked over his hooked nose and looked at Colin, his voice was very cold: "Mr. Lu still has a Potions class for an hour, he can go upstairs after class."

Colin probably got the death order, he stammered against Snape's gaze: "Professor, Mr. Bagman wants him to go, all the warriors have to go, to do pre-match interviews... "

"Very good, very good," Snape was obviously angry, he said sharply: "Lu Ren, leave your things here, you come back later, I want you to test the antidote you prepared. "

The theme of today's Potions class is to choose the formula to brew the antidote by yourself. Snape has long wanted to choose someone to test the potion. Originally, Harry would be the perfect candidate, but now Lu Ren is taking the blame .

"I'm sorry, Professor, he has to bring his things, all the warriors—" Colin at this moment, worthy of the name of Gryffindor College, this kind of courage is shocking.

"Lu Ren, take your schoolbag and disappear from my sight!"

This was Snape's last order.

Lu Ren packed his things as quickly as possible, then threw his backpack over his shoulder and left the classroom.

He and Colin arrived at the assembly point, a small classroom with desks pushed to the back of the room, leaving a large space in the middle.There are three desks in the open space, and five chairs behind the desks.Ludo Bagman and a witch in a magenta robe were already in the classroom, as were three other warriors.

The witch, of course, was Rita Skeeter.

When Bagman saw Lu Ren, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Come in, come in! There's nothing to worry about, it's just a ceremony to test the wand—"

Rita Skeeter showed a stiff smile when she saw Lu Ren: "Long time no see! It's a pity that I couldn't interview you when you were awarded the Order of Merlin First Class... So before we start, can I Say a few words with Lu Ren, have a small interview, and add some color to the article..." She exchanged pleasantries with Lu Ren, and then made a request to Bagman.
