I was Hermione's puppy at Hogwarts

"Seriously!" Dumbledore nodded extremely seriously. He had decided to teach the little wolf cub some magic in advance.

This is a very normal and common operation.

Young wizards born in magical families often master a few simple magic spells under the guidance of their elders before going to school. Some young wizards born in Muggle families will also start previewing the textbooks as soon as they get them. It can be said that involution is everywhere.

But no matter what level of wizard their elders are, these young wizards can often only learn some basic spells that are no longer basic.The reason is simple, they don't have their own wands.

The vast majority of British wizards will go to Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley to buy their first wand before they turn 11 and begin their magical education. Before that, they often have to make do with family members' wands.So being able to learn advanced spells is a big deal.

"Yes!" After receiving Dumbledore's clear answer, the wolf cub almost jumped up with joy.

I can finally learn magic!

Lovell: (???)

After the excitement, it sat upright and obediently on Dumbledore's desk, waiting for Dumbledore's spell teaching.

Dumbledore felt dizzy: he had to go to class right then and there, it was really a rush.

There was a burst of suppressed laughter on the portrait wall behind him, and Dumbledore knew without looking back that the past principals of Hogwarts were watching his amusement.

Dumbledore sighed and already had a teaching plan in mind - after all, he had been a transfiguration professor for decades before becoming the headmaster, so it was easy for him to formulate an enlightenment tutorial for a little wolf.

"You little guy, you are so interested in learning magic even though you don't have a wand. It's true." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, then he conjured up a blackboard and started writing and drawing on it.

"But it doesn't matter if you don't have a wand. Many spells can be cast without a wand. Casting spells without a wand sounds very high-end, but in fact there are tricks. I will teach you a few tips for casting spells without a wand today."

Lovell sat upright, listening carefully to what Dumbledore said, and wanted to copy everything on the blackboard.

After Dumbledore briefly explained the key points of wandless spellcasting, the formal teaching session began.

"The spell I will teach you today is a very basic spell, the fluorescent spell, which can make your wand glow brightly. It essentially converts the magic power in your body into light. Its spell is 'fluorescent flash'."

Dumbledore picked up his wand and said "luminescent flash", and the tip of the wand immediately produced a faint beam of light.

"Knox!" He chanted another spell, and the light from the wand disappeared.

"This is its counter-curse, the Extinguishing Curse, the spell that extinguishes the light of the wand." After finishing the demonstration, Dumbledore put the wand down again, and demonstrated a fluorescent spell and an extinguishing curse without a wand.

This time is no different from last time, except that the place where the fluorescent light comes out is changed from the tip of the stick to the fingertips.

"After you become proficient in spells, you can add your own understanding." Dumbledore shook his index finger, and the light from his fingertip turned into a small glowing ball of light, like a The moon has shrunk countless times.

"Try it yourself." After Dumbledore finished explaining the key points of the fluorescent spell, it was Lovell's turn to use it himself.

He placed his wand on the table and told Lovell, "Try it without the wand first, and if that doesn't work, try it with my wand."

Dumbledore also wanted to do an experiment and wanted to see how far a young wizard could learn wandless spellcasting without relying on a wand from the beginning.This is not nonsense. When wizards first appeared, wizards at that time generally did not have wands.Even today, African wizards are accustomed to casting spells without a wand.

Lovell didn't think too much about it. Since Dumbledore said that, he would give it a try according to the instructions.

It first imagined that it was holding a wand in its hand, and then mobilized its own magic power as Dumbledore said. Finally, when it was almost ready, it uttered the spell:

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Magic power poured into its fingertips, and a faint light was born from the tips of its claws, shining on the desk.Although the light was so weak that it was not as bright as a candle, Lovell finally succeeded in using the fluorescent spell.

And it was a success!

"Oh?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. It was somewhat unexpected that Lovell could succeed in one attempt. Looking at Lovell waving his claws, Dumbledore asked him to try to terminate the spell.

"Knox!" The magic power flowing towards the tip of the claw was cut off at once, and the faint light was like a fire that had its gas supply cut off. It flickered twice and then disappeared.

"Congratulations, Lovell." Dumbledore clapped gently, "You are indeed very talented."

The surrounding principals also applauded and cheered.

"Gifted!"

"It's the first time I can cast a fluorescent spell without a wand, great!"

"Slytherin is for you—"

"Hey hey hey~" Lovell was also a little dazed, but when it tried to cast the fluorescent spell again, its spell failed.

Lovell:?

[?_??]

"Pay attention." Dumbledore knocked on the table to get Lovell to focus.

"Oh!" Lovell quickly calmed down, concentrated, and then "held it in" for a while like he was casting a spell for the first time——

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Glimmer reappears.

"You are not yet proficient in using spells. You must practice more." Dumbledore looked at Lovell with loving eyes and patted its head.

He became more and more fond of this silver-haired dumpling. He could see the outstanding talent and a naughty but kind heart in the little wolf cub, which was even more valuable to him.

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Lovell nodded and ran to the side to contact the spell himself.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

"Fluorescent flashes!"

However, after casting the fluorescent spell several times, no matter how hard Lovell concentrated, it could no longer cast the spell - the magic power in its body seemed to be exhausted.

happy New Year!

Please give me a monthly ticket for the New Year!

Note: Regarding the timing of obtaining the wand, the time when little wizards in different countries get the wand is different.Little wizards in the UK can go to Diagon Alley to buy them after they reach the age of 11 and receive the admission letter to Hogwarts.In the United States, young wizards will go to a huge hall to choose their wands after entering the school to participate in the sorting ceremony.However, until Rappaport's Laws are repealed, wizards under the age of 17 cannot take their wands out of school. (This law was enacted in 1790 and was repealed in 1965)
