Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

In the Gryffindor lounge, all the little wizards had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

What happened just now made all the wizards doubt their own eyes - Professor McGonagall finished reading Hermione's paper and actually took off directly on the spot!

And judging from the spell used by Professor McGonagall just now, Professor McGonagall actually used a floating spell when flying.

Can a levitation spell make a wizard take off on his own?In the Gryffindor lounge, all the little wizards showed excited expressions.

Soon they were directly involved in practice, each pointing their wands at themselves in the lounge and seriously reciting "Yingadim Leviosa", the introductory spell for first-year wizards.

Harry, George, Fredo and the other little wizards excitedly used the "Levitation Curse" on themselves one by one, but failed as expected.

Fred and George also tried to use levitation spells on each other at the same time to complete a two-person flight, but naturally they failed to achieve their goals.

In short, no young wizard has ever succeeded in using the Levitation Charm to lift himself even an inch off the ground.

But the Gryffindor lounge became lively again, but there was still one person who didn't take out his wand, looking particularly lonely among the young wizards who were enthusiastically experimenting.

This lonely little wizard is naturally Ron Weasley.

Ron's wand has been broken since he accompanied Harry to school in his speed car at the beginning of the term. Although he used some magic tape and glue to repair his wand, the effect was still not satisfactory.

Whether it was Transfiguration or Charms class, Ron had a hard time using a correct spell.

Last time on the Quidditch pitch, Malfoy called Hermione a "Mudblood". Ron was so angry that Malfoy used a curse without thinking.

As a result, because the wand was damaged, not only did it fail to hit Malfoy, but it actually caused Ron to vomit slugs for a long time, which was so nauseating.

From then on, Ron began to use his wand as little as possible, which made him feel uncomfortable but helpless.The family's money is definitely not enough to buy him another wand.

And he was also afraid that if he told his family about this, he would receive another embarrassing letter at breakfast. The feeling of being publicly executed would be worse than vomiting slugs for a whole semester.

Therefore, at this moment, Ron did not try to use the levitation spell to fly like other little wizards. Instead, he looked at everyone with envy while he sat lonely on the chair.

"Ron, why don't you come and give it a try!" Harry still noticed Ron, a good friend, and suggested.

"Otherwise, let's forget it." Ron refused with a bitter smile.

"Give it a try. It's just a floating spell anyway, so there's no danger. Come and give it a try. Maybe you will be the first little wizard to fly."

"Okay, I'll give it a try too." After Harry's repeated invitations, Ron decided to give it a try.

Everyone else has failed anyway, and in this case, he will not be embarrassed even if he fails.

Ron stood up from the chair, took out his badly damaged wand, pointed it straight up at his chin, waved it gently, and said "Wingardim Leviosa".

The next second, with all the little wizards watching, Ron Weasley took off!

His feet slowly left the ground, reality closing in little by little, then an inch, then two inches... and finally stabilizing at a height of about a foot.

"Ron!" Harry shouted excitedly, "How did you do that?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." Ron was a little confused but more excited, "Maybe I am a genius in this area!"

"Tell me the secret, Ron." George and Fred asked excitedly.

"I really don't know, I just used the levitation spell on myself, and then I flew up!" Ron found that he had fallen in love with this feeling.

That feeling of being truly free from the shackles of the earth, and that kind of happiness that was enthusiastically sought after by everyone, a feeling that his good friend Harry had had countless times in his previous life, but he could only watch and envy.

......

In the principal's office at Hogwarts, Flitwick looked at Hermione, McGonagall and Russell floating in the air. The little goblin's eyes were full of confusion.

Professor McGonagall had just informed him to come to the principal's office. He originally thought Russell was going to organize a Wizards Alliance glory showdown between professors, but as soon as he entered the principal's office, he saw such an incredible scene.

Later, after Russell explained the principle of using the levitation spell to achieve self-levitation in conjunction with Newton's third law, Flitwick also successfully levitated.

Of course, due to his size, in order to allow himself to talk to Russell and the others on an equal footing, Russell levitated to a higher height - this was enough for the short stature to completely fall in love with this curse.

"Who is Newton? I have never heard of his name. Is he a reclusive magic master?" Flitwick asked.

"No, he is a Muggle scientist." Looking at the puzzled expressions of Flitwick and McGonagall, Russell explained: "A scientist is a professor in the Muggle world, responsible for researching some novel theories or inventions."

Flitwick and Professor McGonagall nodded in understanding.

"He must be a very intelligent Muggle. If I have the chance, I would like to meet him." McGonagall said with emotion.

"Of course, the British Muggle poet once said that nature and the laws of nature are hidden in the darkness. God said let Newton be born, and everything was illuminated." Russell nodded in agreement.

Then he sighed with some regret: "But Newton has been dead for almost 300 years."

Flitwick and McGonagall sighed together and were silent for a few seconds before Professor McGonagall said: "I am suddenly very curious about where the legendary Resurrection Stone made by the God of Death is, and whether it really has the magical power to resurrect the dead. .”

Russell brought the topic back on track in time, "Let's put Newton and resurrection aside for a moment. Let's talk about whether we can teach this magic to all the little wizards in Hogwarts, right? I I personally think it’s very suitable.”

Russell then looked at Flitwick and McGonagall. One of them was the Charms professor, and the other was the vice-principal responsible for most of the school's work.

Professor Flitwick quickly expressed his opinion: "Although this spell is magical, it is not difficult. It is just that the floating spell has changed the object of use. I think even a first-year wizard is skilled in using the floating spell." It won’t be difficult to master this magic spell in the future.”

Russell nodded and looked at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall thought for a while and said: "There is no problem in terms of learning difficulty, and there is no problem in terms of safety. The failure of the floating spell to land is nothing compared to the accident of the flying broomstick.

However, if the learning of a flying spell is suddenly inserted into the existing courses, it may disrupt Hogwarts' original teaching plan.

Therefore, I am afraid that large-scale promotion of flying spells will have to wait until next year. "

"No, not next year. I will hold open classes every Saturday and invite all the little wizards to voluntarily participate."

"Voluntarily participate?" Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, "I don't think many young wizards would be willing to take an extra class on Saturday."

"Don't worry, they will volunteer." Russell said confidently.
