Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 86 Dueling Training Teaching (5.8K)

(This chapter is mainly private)

After a spell class, McGuffin had free time and was left by Professor Flitwick to teach duel training in the spell class classroom.

"You can think of the dance spell as a simplified version of a specific type of control spell... like when I invented this spell back then, it was just for myself to be able to dance a gorgeous dance to win... ahem..."

Professor Flitwick clenched his fists and pretended to cough, to cover up his accidental memories of the year.

——Looks like the professor was once young too!
McGuffin knew that the first rule in the workplace is not to know the scandal of the boss, so he quickly pretended not to pay attention and asked, "Professor, I didn't understand just now—the control spell is...?"

In order to cover up the embarrassment just now, Professor Flitwick gave McGuffin a detailed introduction to the development and evolution of the manipulation spell.

The control spell is a highly complex and dangerous spell. In ancient times, it was often mixed with the activation spell to create gargoyles. If the activation spell gave these terrifying guards wisdom, the control spell gave them instinct, giving them the fangs and claws of a wild beast...

For example, the dance spell can make a person who has never danced become a dance master, and the more complex and powerful control spell can ignore the will of others and give them the ability to go beyond the body and change people's spiritual thinking.This spell echoes the wish of the caster. It is said that it was passed down from Central Asia. The local wizards participated in the Muggle world to train the army and seize power and invented this spell. Later, it was improved by medieval British wizards and became a powerful spell for manipulating others.

The real manipulative spell does not only have a temporary effect, but completely shapes a person into a servant who obeys the caster from both body and mind.

Because it is too dangerous, this spell has been spread to countries on all continents, and now it has been gradually differentiated and evolved into two types of modern spells.

"A play on the soul, maybe you should also have heard of this two most notorious 'relatives' - the 'walking dead curse' of Voodoo wizards in some parts of Africa, and one of the three unforgivable curses..."

Professor Flitwick paused for a moment, wondering if what he said had exceeded the limits of what a young wizard at this age knew.

"Imperius Curse..." McGuffin couldn't help but make a sound.

Professor Flitwick gave him a strange look, and it was only at this moment that McGuffin realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I heard what Neville Longbottom said..."

"Longbottom? Eh... His parents?... He's a poor child..." Professor Flitwick sighed softly, and then explained the evolution and danger of this spell.

Now this ancient version of the spell has been completely disassembled, and it has become a simplified version of the control spell that mostly manipulates the flesh.

"McGuffin, even if this simplified control spell is not something that young wizards of your age can explore... This spell is known as the most difficult and most dangerous spell even among adult wizards... If it is said that using the Transfiguration Animagus indiscriminately will cause irreparable damage to itself, then this control spell will not only cause irreparable changes in the mind of the user, but even the caster's mind. This kind of change will turn a person's mind into a lunatic or a beast that only knows how to kill and blood over the years. ..."

Thinking of this, Professor Flitwick shuddered, saying that this was enough for a young wizard, and he refused to say any more.

Another kind of magic spell that manipulates the body can generally only give people a specific type of action, and the caster must know the action routine. This spell cannot exceed the comprehension of the caster and the physical limit of the person being controlled.

For example, it has now evolved into a dance spell again.

This spell was common in formal duels in the past, but now it has been simplified again and has become a must-have spell for little wizards.

It is easy to learn, and it is not difficult to break the spell.

"When you can't dance and need to, remember my words, a well-cast dance spell can solve everything and make you the center of attention again."

Professor Flitwick stroked his beard and smiled at McGuffin.

There is also the limb torso oppression spell, which is usually used to suppress the wizard's body, making others submit, and making insulting actions is often seen in informal, private underground wizard duels.

And other trick-like spells like Leaping Leaps, Crab, can only walk in one of these two ways, until the end of the spell, or find a way to break it.

After Professor Flitwick introduced the manipulating spell, he directly performed the teaching content described earlier - the tap dancing spell.

He cast a spell to line up the books, and some bromeliads tap-dancing on the desk, and even Professor Flitwick waved his wand quite elegantly, and the soundtrack of Muggle dances sounded in the room of the Charms classroom.

"Music! The most sublime and interesting thing in the Muggle world..."

After the song was over, Professor Flitwick said with emotion.

Those books, bromeliads and some other sundries actually tap danced themselves to tidy up under the spell of Professor Flitwick.

"Okay, that's it for this class. Professor Quirrell is still waiting for you in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. As for the dancing spell—you practice it privately, and I will correct your mistakes in using the spell in the next training session..."

Professor Flitwick took out his pocket watch and looked at McGuffin.

"Okay..." McGuffin shuffled out of the Charms classroom.

……

Because the corridors on the fourth floor were forbidden to enter this year, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was arranged on the second floor of Hogwarts this year, not far from the History of Magic classroom.

This can be regarded as the most magical classroom in the city in the entire castle.

But even so, in the eyes of other senior students, this new black magic classroom is not as grand as the original one.

The room is spacious and bright, with long glass windows erected on both sides of the wall, and many specimens of magical creatures are placed on the wide deep purple window sills.

It's different from the potion biomaterials in the potions class classroom that are soaked in solution in glass jars, dripping wet, and disgusting.

These specimens appear to be petrified.

Most of them are dangerous little creatures with sharp teeth and claws.

The smallest of them is the man-eating beetle from the Egyptian pyramids—a palm-sized black beetle with sharp and ferocious mouthparts.

The biggest one is a blue-green goblin with long arms and fly-like wings that only grows in the Irish swamps, and also has a mouth full of fangs.

Of course there are also scaled-down sculptures of werewolves, vampires, these common dangerous monsters.

They are vivid and lifelike, and at a certain moment when you stare at them, you can even see their eyes roll slightly, or greet you with a grinning smile.

There are bookshelves under the surrounding walls, and some books are placed on them, most of which are Professor Quirrell's own collection.

Most of these books are half-truths and half-false legends from all over the world, and the origin of monsters is unknown.

They are all the research directions of Professor Quirrell's magic project, and he is proud of it.

Each country in the world has many dangerous creatures unique to itself.

Or, in fact, there are many monsters in the dark world in the whole world. Most of them hide in the deep mountains and old forests, swamps and wetlands, and even the dark corners of Muggle cities.

They hide their identities, have their own unique civilization, sources of legends, and even magic, forming a certain social form.

Of course, these monsters are either harmless to humans, or feed on Muggles, but thousands of years of experience handed down let them know that wizards cannot be provoked.

In this way, the world of human wizards has never really understood them, and almost no one in the entire magic world has counted how many kinds of these dangerous creatures there are, what secrets they have, and what kind of strange magic they display.

To use an analogy to give an example, for example - whether it is rumored among Muggles or in the wizarding world, it is the most famous monster
——Vampires, also known as vampires.

Professor Quirrell has specifically researched this kind of monster-in the world, there are a total of thirteen monsters that feed on blood in various countries.

Whether it is in terms of appearance or their own abilities, the sources and legends are all different.

But they are all able to live by sucking blood (mainly humans), and they all convert humans through some kind of ritual (albeit different) to create races.

And all are able to use certain types of magic.

And according to research, vampires almost appeared together with human wizards, or it can be said that there have been vampires in recorded human wizard history.

It can almost be concluded that these monsters belong to the same type of dark monsters, but somehow they are scattered all over the world, and they have almost no connection with each other. This can also be seen from their records.

In Europe and the United States, vampires exist as a group. A few can use unique blood spells, some charm spells, and even after learning, they can use extremely powerful black spells although they cannot use wands.

In another mysterious country in the east, a country full of unique and strange magic—China, there is a dark monster called a zombie. It is said that as the monster ages, its spell resistance will eventually be higher than that of a dragon.

And this kind of monster grows to a certain extent and even finally can cast magic that can change the weather of the entire continent.

(At that time, when McGuffin heard Quirrell stammering about his discovery of Eastern vampires, he was shocked for a long time and was extremely shocked. Isn’t this Nima the Hankui? According to McGuffin’s own understanding and feeling-this can be tied together and regarded as vampires, they are completely two species!?)
In South America, there is even a vampire race that is completely female. Even when a male is transformed into a vampire, he will be forced to become a female by the spells and rituals contained in the ritual.People call them Charms, because this race loves forests and plants very much, and they often live near the woods on the edge of human towns, and they are also called Wood Demons.

They are usually good at manipulating and changing various plant-related magic, and have appearance and charm magic that are powerful enough to rival Veela.

(McGuffin complained in his heart, no wonder Professor Quirrell has a bald head at a young age, and after a long time of trouble, he was drained of kidney deficiency and bald!)

At the beginning of the first class, Professor Quirrell talked about a few representative vampires to attract the attention of the students. After briefly introducing his main magic research topic, he began to talk about his legendary experience of encountering the resurrected walking corpse in Africa.

(No matter what grade you are in, Professor Quirrell will always talk about his vampire research topic in the first section, and he will always have a pungent garlic smell, so that people will say later that he was made like this because he offended a very powerful local vampire in Romania.)
In addition to these books, there are also all kinds of strange, rare and rare collections in the bookshelves on the top floor of the classroom.

There is even a top of the bookshelf under the window sill, and there are two blue giant eggs, which are bigger than a human head. They are engraved with gold wire and placed on a copper frame.

A little wizard once asked Professor Quirrell what kind of egg it was.

They are two dragon eggs that have become fossils. It is said that they come from an era earlier than the Athens era. They are the two dragon egg fossils of extinct dragon species in the world.

Speaking of giant dragons, there is still a keel hanging from the ceiling of this classroom.

Inside its chest, pierced behind it is a steel chandelier with several half-burned candles.

The keel spread its wings and wanted to fly, and when it came out, there was an iron chain above its neck connected to the roof, and there were no other ropes hanging from it.

The entire dragon completely floated above the classroom, occupying half of the classroom ceiling.

The first-year wizard who entered this classroom for the first time was stunned.

It is said that the seniors said it was moved from the old Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor.

The desks used by the students in the room are three for one.

The mahogany tables and chairs are completely new, shiny.

……

Standing at the door of this classroom, McGuffin took a deep breath, with all this messed up in his head, but he just didn't want to go in and face Quirrell alone, but he really didn't dare to let him open the empty door of Quirrell/Voldemort.

He has been lingering here for a long time.

At this time, the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was opened, and Professor Quirrell came out and saw McGuffin walking around here.

Well!

McGuffin forced a smile on his face, running [Occlumency] in his head with all his strength, almost squeezing out his brain.

Facing the big black wizard with a face full of dung (although I don't know if the other party knows about it, but the Dark Lord behind him must have met McGuffin that time), this made McGuffin suddenly speechless.

"Professor Quirrell, I-I-I..."

I'm so...

After saying the word "I" for half a minute, the more anxious I became, the more I couldn't think of what to say next.

Regardless of whether it was the previous life or the current life, MacGuffin always felt that he was quite clever, but he didn't expect that he really couldn't even hold back a fart now.

It's over, it's over! (si) fixed!

Now this double-skinned hermaphrodite must have thought that he deliberately mocked and imitated him.

Quirrell didn't speak, and gave McGuffin a deep look.

Let the McGuffin recall the fear of being dominated by a big dung egg.

Trembling followed and walked in.

But after entering, he felt relieved. He didn't know what was going on. In the classroom, there were old bats like Snape and Malfoy practicing spells.

"Ha!" McGuffin sighed.

I didn't expect such a day to come.

——Big brothers, thank you so much!
Snape frowned and looked at McGuffin, "Albert, the most important quality of a wizard is punctuality, if you..."

Before he could finish speaking, McGuffin came to the two of them, eagerly shook hands with Malfoy who laughed at him, and when he wanted to shake hands with Snape to express his thanks, he saw Snape staring at McGuffin coldly.

——Snape didn't know what was going on with the little wizard in front of him?In order to prevent Quirrell from getting information about war magic and Harry from McGuffin, he deliberately didn't want the little wizard McGuffin to be alone with Quirrell.

But Snape couldn't help but think of Dumbledore's evaluation of this little wizard when he watched McGuffin behave like this-he probably has a lot more than we imagined.

—Could it be found out that night from the self of our words?

or earlier...

Snape recalled that in the school hospital on Halloween, he and Dumbledore did reveal that Voldemort was brought into Hogwarts by Quirrell, and the little wizard who pretended to be asleep listened.

And it was later discovered that this guy, as Dumbledore expected, did not gossip around like an ordinary little wizard, telling his own friends—that Harry who was as empty-headed as his father, or Hermione, the know-it-all lady, and the like. Instead, he hid the secret.

Live and study as if nothing happened.

It seemed that he did know something and was trying to hide something.

It's just that now, judging from the scene where he seldom showed real feelings and was very scared—he should have nothing to do with Quirrell/Voldemort, or Quirrell should not know that this little guy discovered his identity.

Before Snape could think about it.

Trembling with excitement, Malfoy took out his wand and pointed it at the McGuffin.

——In his opinion, this little wizard of the same age has gone mad again.

Thinking of the scene on the Hogwarts train and the boat on the Black Lake, his heart is still beating violently, and the back of his head is aching.

Even the little ones in the wizarding world know it - even good wizards are afraid of crazy Muggles, from "The Adventures of Martin the Mad Muggle".

"Thinking about it now, the Hogwarts study life is different from what I expected, because I met this lunatic at the beginning, which led to my unfortunate start."

Malfoy was staring at the MacGuffin now, resentment in his head.

"Malfoy... are you doing-do-doing..."

"Malfoy, what are you doing?" Snape called coldly.

After a lot of flirting, Quirrell began to talk about how to cast spells more accurately in a duel, keep the magic power stable, and rationally arrange different spells to play different effects from the tactical point of view of saving magic power, so as to defeat the enemy.

"So this guy is not as simple as it seems?" Malfoy was 'shocked', thinking that he couldn't let Quirrell teach this Mudblood alone, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to win the duel.

McGuffin thought of Quirrell being stuck in the face with Harry's "Fire Cloud Palm" at the end of the first year, and it was really unfair to hang up like a joke like that!
He is obviously a king, so he usually pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but at the critical moment, he insists on abolishing his martial arts and fighting Harry hand-to-hand—he just overturned!
Quirrell didn't know how McGuffin complained about himself, and he was secretly suffering in his heart now.

The Dark Lord told him to speak to the little wizard in private, to find out why the little wizard could see him, and what was the magic of war?

But for some reason, he couldn't find a suitable time. After class, the little wizard didn't know where to go.

But it can't violate his usual personality of pretending to be afraid of others, and force this little wizard to stay after class.

Xian Za finally had a chance, but Snape...

Quirrell is very suspicious that this guy has betrayed the Dark Lord.

But according to the Dark Lord, now that he has no power, he just has no loyalty.

He didn't care about the current loyalty of people like Snape, if Snape really joined the Dark Lord in his current state for no reason.

"I suspect that he really started to betray...!"

Quirrell knew that he and Snape were different to the Dark Lord, he was the most loyal and intimate servant of the master.

After the master resurrects and unifies the world, he will definitely give himself the greatest reward.

But now he couldn't imagine that after his master woke up from a deep sleep and found that he was unable to complete such a small task, what kind of punishment his master would bring to the cowardly and incompetent man in disappointment.

McGuffin found Quirrell stammering, trembling, with genuine fear in his voice.

"This guy didn't just play the role, he must be smart!"

But then Quirrell's next sentence made McGuffin want to tear this guy into pieces.

"I-want-to-go to the lake with the MacGuffin-practice-practise-practice water-casting.'

Hearing this sentence, McGuffin's spine felt chills, and the hair on the back of his head stood up instantly.

——You still want to fart!
