Hogwarts Slytherin

Time is gradually coming to the end of October.

In addition to the upcoming Quidditch match, there is also the second round of the inter-school wizard's duel competition that is getting closer and closer.

Searching for Professor Fernando solves the problem of the magic notebook that has troubled him for so long, giving him new inspiration.

Nowadays, he has accepted too many rigid and systematic studies, but most of them are based on methods he has figured out by himself. Because he has always achieved good results, he is used to living alone.

However, Professor Fernando suddenly made him realize his other identity - a student.

If you have any difficulties, of course you can find a teacher.

Hogwarts has the top wizarding power in the British wizarding world, and their professors are all top-notch in their fields, except for Defense Against the Dark Arts.

So today, after the magic training, Reggie thought about Professor Flitwick.

This former duel master will definitely provide good guidance and advice.

He was walking towards Professor Flitwick's office when a warm voice came from behind him.

"Hey, Reggie, why are you here?"

The visitor grinned at him, showing his neat, white teeth.

Reggie stopped and saw Lockhart saying hello. The two had been classmates for a while in class and had also provided him with information about the club.

"I'm here to see Professor Flitwick." Reggie said generously.

"Oh, I saw Professor Flitwick going in the opposite direction of the Forbidden Forest downstairs."

Reggie blinked, not expecting this, and then he guessed, "Why did Professor Flitwick go to the Forbidden Forest?"

******

There are five towers in Hogwarts, namely the West Tower, the North Tower, the Astronomy Tower, the Gryffindor Tower and the Ravenclaw Tower.

Reggie followed Gilderoy Lockhart up the spiral staircase, and finally stopped in front of a large door.

The door looked very ancient, with no door handle or keyhole, and only an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.

This is the entrance to the Ravenclaw Common Room.

After learning that Professor Flitwick was away, Regis was about to leave when he received an invitation from Lockhart, who warmly invited him to visit the Ravenclaw lounge.

According to rumors, Ravenclaw's common room is a library. Reggie was also very interested in this, so he came with it after thinking about it.

Ravenclaw's lounge is different from other houses. The other three houses all use different methods to hide the entrance, but Ravenclaw's lounge, as you can see, just displays the door in such a big way. To whoever comes.

But this does not mean that you can enter casually.

If you want to enter the Ravenclaw lounge, you don't need a password or password, but you need the person to correctly answer the questions asked by the eagle ring when you go out.

Of course, if you cannot answer the correct answer, no matter who you are, you will be rejected by the Eagle Ring, even Ravenclaw students.

On the contrary, as long as the question about the eagle ring is answered, even if the student is not Ravenclaw, he will be allowed to enter the lounge.

This is also the belief that Ravenclaw has always adhered to - extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth.

Of course, it is said that for nearly a thousand years, no one except Ravenclaw students can pass the eagle ring barrier.

When Reggie first heard this statement, he just curled his lips in disdain.

Having been in the magic world for so long, he has seen through the self-deception of these wizards. As long as he doesn't notice it, it hasn't happened.

"This is the eagle ring of our academy. Hey, if you want to pass, you must answer its questions, like this." Lockhart walked forward and knocked lightly on the door knocker.

The eagle on the door knocker seemed to come to life all of a sudden, and it spoke: "Do humans have free will?"

Lockhart smiled confidently and gave Reggie a look that looked like he was watching my performance. "All our actions are controlled by the brain, and as a wizard, our brain is completely under our control. So, my answer is: yes." "

"Fine, but that's not a convincing answer and it's a shame you can't pass."

The smile on Lockhart's face froze, and he was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the answer would not pass.

He shook his body awkwardly and said, "Our will will not be restricted or determined, so we have free will."

"Yes, but this is still not the correct answer. It's a pity that you still can't pass."

This situation is very common. When Ravenclaw students return to the door of the lounge, they can often see students who are blocked outside the door.

A very few unlucky ones were even locked up outside overnight.

Lockhart looked around, wondering whether he should take Reggie to another place or wait here for an hour, because after an hour the questions of the Eagle Ring would be refreshed.

Reggie lowered his head and pondered, took a step forward, and slowly said: "My answer is - the will itself is free, and what is bound is only actions and concepts that are restricted by the environment. Will is the unique subjective initiative of human beings. "

After hearing his answer, Ying Huan was silent for a moment.

"It makes sense." Ying Huan said, "You can come in."

The heavy wooden door slowly opened, and Lockhart hurriedly walked in to lead the way, with a charming smile on his face again. His smile gave him a lot of points.

Reggie followed behind and finally got a glimpse of the Ravenclaw lounge.

Inside is a large space with a Roman-style circular vault. The ceiling of the dome is painted with stars, echoing the stars on the dark blue carpet on the ground.The windows in the lounge are also elegant retro arched vertical windows. Blue and bronze silks are hung on the walls, and a large number of tables, chairs and bookshelves are placed below.

In the alcove directly opposite the two people, there is a marble statue of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw.

After the two came in, Reggie could see many students sitting in twos and threes in the lounge. Most of them were holding a book. Hearing the movement, he glanced in the direction of the two.

When they saw the green school robe on Ruiji clearly, they were all surprised.

"Hi, welcome to the Hall of Wisdom." Lockhart introduced with a wink. "To be honest, now I'm starting to wonder if the Sorting Hat made a mistake - it only took less than half an hour for you to think of the right one. The answer is, maybe you're more suited to Ravenclaw."

After chatting with a few people, Reggie understood Lockhart's intention of bringing him to the lounge.

show off.

Yes, just pulling Reggie to show off.

"Hi, Trick, this is my good friend Reggie, oh~nothing, just bringing him to visit our lounge~"

Similar to the famous genius Reggie is my good friend.

Reggie knew his little thoughts clearly and did not expose them, and cooperated very cooperatively to give him face.

Lockhart was very satisfied with this, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

Finally, at Reggie's request, he was pointed to a bookshelf with alchemical knowledge, leaving him enough space to be alone.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lockhart turned around and entered the dormitory in a happy mood.

Reggie walked alone to an unoccupied window, which was the second highest place in Hogwarts, after the Astronomy Tower.

This location is also convenient for observing the Forbidden Forest. I casually pulled out a copy of "The Great Alchemist" from the bookshelf and flipped through it. From the corner of my eye, I glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"Hey, Reggie, why are you here?"

Seeing the green figure by the window, Emily, who had just glanced curiously, stopped and walked towards Reggie with a few books in her arms.

"Look for some information." Reggie said carelessly.

"I thought you would be busy with the next round of duel competition now."

"I had a dream yesterday. In the dream, a mysterious hooded wizard told me that I would win the final victory no matter what." Reggie said nonsense.

Emily was amused.

On the contrary, the girl wearing glasses next to her took a breath of air-conditioning. Thanks to Reggie's reputation as a genius, she did not feel that Reggie was very arrogant at the moment.

On the contrary, he felt that he had received a prophecy from Merlin. Looking at the energetic Reggie in front of him, the girl with glasses looked in admiration.

"This is my roommate, Anna Trelawney."

Upon hearing Trelawney's last name, Reggie changed his attitude of ignoring and took the initiative to shake hands and say hello.

Seeing the admiration in the other person's eyes, he smiled closer and gentler.

fan?Want to shoot him?

It doesn't matter.

I accidentally glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest and found Professor Flitwick walking back.

He was still polite to Trelawney.

Maybe this is the trouble of genius.

******

The door to Professor Flitwick's office.

Reggie knocked on the door.

Professor Flitwick, who had just climbed onto the chair, shook his beard, jumped down and walked to the door. He raised his neck and looked up at Reggie with a very confused expression.

"Oh, Mr. Duke, what can I do for you?"

"Sorry to bother you, Professor Flitwick. The thing is, I encountered some problems about magic spells, and then I thought of you, because I couldn't think of anyone else besides you who could help me clear up my doubts." Reggie frowned. He frowned slightly, looking quite distressed, and bowed slightly.

Flitwick was so complimented that his beard trembled. It had been a long time since he had received a compliment from a student, or perhaps the Ravenclaw students didn't scratch the itch as much as Reggie.

Professor Flitwick smiled and opened the door, "Come in, kid, I welcome all little guys like you to bother me at any time."

"Professor, I heard that you are very good at fighting?" After the two sat down, Reggie gave a small compliment.

Professor Flitwick had no choice but to jump off the chair again, and in front of Reggie, he walked to the cabinet on the side and said with emotion: "Oh, it's just a little fun when I was young. Look, my cabinet is almost empty." No more of them."

Reggie looked at the cabinet full of trophies.

In his heart: "..."

He quickly asked: "Professor, I found in the last competition that Beauxbatons' opponents were very good at combining spells, but at Hogwarts, why didn't you teach us how to combine spells?"

Professor Flitwick pondered for a moment and sighed: "Rigi, your talent in magic is indeed very surprising. Even that person - you know who it is, I can tell you without hesitation that he is in your No one in this grade has such talent as you.”

"However, most young wizards do not have talents like you. It takes most people a long time to master a spell. Yes, don't be so surprised." Professor Flitwick said seriously.

"Being able to cast a spell does not mean that you have truly mastered it. There are many little wizards. After they learn a spell, if they don't cast it for a long time, they will forget it, and they may even never be able to successfully cast the spell again."

Professor Flitwick said as he pulled out his wand, "For example - Swarm of Birds, oh, I remember you used it in the previous competition. Then you superimposed the replication spell very cleverly."

The few birds that were originally surrounding Professor Flitwick quickly split apart as soon as he finished speaking.

The speed and number of divisions are faster and greater than Reggie.

"If you add the expansion spell."

The birds around Professor Flitwick quickly grew in size, and his voice came from inside, "On top of this, you can also add a corrosive spell."

Looking at Professor Flitwick buried among the birds, if the birds were covered with a corrosion spell...

Reggie was about to stop him.

"Bang" Hundreds of huge birds disappeared together, and the office returned to normal. Only the short Professor Flitwick adjusted his glasses, "But I think given the situation just now - it's best not to."

At the end of the demonstration, Professor Flitwick stared at his talented student and said seriously: "The biggest difficulty in spell combination is that it is not just as simple as connecting spells together."

"The difficulty lies not in the spell itself, but in how the spell caster combines the spells to stabilize themselves so that they remain stable as a whole. The more spells combined, the difficulty will increase significantly."

Hearing this, Reggie nodded in agreement. Unlike in the Forest of Dean, if it was a more difficult spell, he would find it very difficult to combine it until the third one.

Professor Flitwick continued: "So you ask me, why don't you teach combined spells? My answer is, there's not enough time. Most people simply don't have the ability to control combined spells." He paused, "Moreover, Dumbledore believed that young wizards should enjoy their time at Hogwarts and not let complicated spells occupy their minds."

Reggie: "..."

This is the happy education in the magic world.

Thinking of the overall level of the next generation of little wizards.

He sighed in his heart: "You have to endure hardships to become a master! My ancestors have never deceived me!"

"But." Professor Flitwick changed his tone, "Given your ability, I think I can provide you with some small help. I hope this can help you in the next competition."

Next, Professor Flitwick began to demonstrate the qualities that a top magic master should have.

"The duel magic we commonly use, such as flying sand and stones, disarming spell, stun spell, iron armor spell, etc., can be combined with some magic spells to gain a greater advantage."

"For example, the Water and Fire Invulnerability Curse can resist the damage of cold and fire curses to a certain extent."

"For example, the super-sensory spell can improve your perception, make you more sensitive to spells, and control your magic power more accurately."

"Another example is the extraction spell, which can make people give up the items they hold. Facing the items transformed by the other party using the transformation spell, you can cause internal repulsion and separate themselves - of course, the effect depends on the strength of your magic power. "

"There is also an expansion spell. When your magic power is strong enough, you can even use it directly on your opponent."

Professor Flitwick was spitting and pointing at Reggie with great energy.

While Rui Ji benefited a lot, he was also worried that the other party would fuck him for a while!

"The last thing I want to say is, kid, no matter how many spells you master, if you don't practice them regularly, you will never use a large part of them. My suggestion for this is that you must insist on using magic all the time, oh~ That's right, it's more than just spell training." Flitwick gave him a knowing look.

"But any time you can use magic, when you can use spells to accomplish all the little things in life, then you are not far away from becoming a spell master."

Reggie thought for a moment and lowered his eyes. What he suddenly thought about was why Professor Flitwick, as a well-deserved master of spells, had to climb the chair himself...
