Chapter 46: Billywig (please collect, please recommend)
Chapter 46 Billywig (please collect and recommend)
“The spell to deal with the Billywig bug is very simple, but it requires you to concentrate. When chanting the spell, you must concentrate on it, be clear about your goals, and cannot be negligent at all.
You must know that the Billywig flies very fast, and it will not give you a second chance to recite the spell. "
After Professor Oren carefully explained what needed to be paid attention to, he continued: "Let's practice the spell without taking the wand first. Please chant with me - loosen the power and release the power!"
“Strength is released and strength is released!” the little wizards said in unison.
"Very good." Professor Oren said with satisfaction: "The next step is to test the effect of your spell."
He asked the whole class to line up and step forward one after another to cast a spell on the Billywig bug in the cage.
The first one in line is Kangna.
She was originally in the middle of the team, but was quickly surrounded by Gryffindor fans.
Ever since Professor Oren called out the names, these little lions have been wanting to see what is so special about this little witch that she can actually conquer Snape.
"Brave girl." Professor Oren smiled and said, "I remember your name is Kangna, right."
“Yes, Professor.”
Once is born again, and twice is familiar. After the experience of the first two times, Kangna's condition at this time is much better than before.
Although she is still very nervous, at least she can communicate normally now, and the first thing she thinks of is to answer the professor's questions instead of turning around and running away.
"Don't be afraid, this is just a simple spell." Professor Oren said patiently: "Remember what I just said, focus on it, you can do it, believe in yourself."
Kanna took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and thrust out her wand.
“Strength, loosen the strength and release the strength!”
“Whoosh!” A sound that cut through the air flow came from the air.
Professor Oren on the side subconsciously took a small step back.
To be fair, if this force is too close, it will kill the Billywig directly without the need for a magic spell.
Fortunately, the result is still good.
As the spell ended, the Billywig bug in the cage fell to the ground.
“Yes, one point for Hufflepuff.” Professor Oren said loudly, while taking out the second cage.
Because he was inexperienced, he brought three Billywigs over when he gave lessons to Ravenclaw and Slytherin houses yesterday.
At first I thought it was enough, but it turned out to be completely insufficient. Sometimes the third one fell down before the first one recovered.
And every time at this time, the young wizards from the two colleges would stare at him, and the scene would be extremely embarrassing.
To prevent a similar situation from happening again, he brought ten of them here today, which is definitely enough.
“Next, Santos is your turn.”
Santos, whose name was called, hurried forward and began to recite the magic spell.
“The strength is relaxed and the strength is released…”
Nothing happened, the Billywig bug in the cage was still spinning around happily.
"Relax, don't be so nervous." Professor Oren walked to him and said softly: "You must recite the spell clearly. Your last note was too soft. Let's try again."
Santos nodded and stretched out his wand again.
“The strength is relaxed and the strength is released!”
This time it was successful.
“Very good, next one…” Professor Oren changed another cage.
The success of two people in a row has also made others more confident. They can't wait to give it a try.
But also because of being too confident, some people completely forgot what Professor Oren said before, and when it was their turn, they didn't even look at it, and directly recited the magic spell loudly towards the cage.
The result of this is that nothing happens to the Billywig, but the cage falls apart.
Therefore, Professor Oren had to work hard to ensure that he could restore the cages to their original state as soon as possible.
But soon, he found that he was oversimplifying things. A Gryffindor freshman at the back of the queue saw that there were too many people in front of him, so he began to whisper a curse there.
Originally, he just wanted to practice in advance and then surprise everyone when it was his turn...but he forgot that he was holding the wand.
Beside the podium, Professor Oren, who was reciting the repair spell, suddenly felt his legs weaken and his whole body collapsed to the ground instantly.
If it was just a fall, it would be nothing. Professor Oren was a strong adult wizard after all. At most, it would only be a scratch on the skin, which could be solved by a white band-aid.
But the problem is, his repair spell was interrupted.
A Billywig escaped from the trap and angrily rushed towards the little wizards in front of it.
It has wanted to do this for a long time. It has been made weak since yesterday, and now it must take revenge at any cost!
Faced with this situation, some of the little wizards began to run around the classroom in panic, while others raised their wands.
“The strength is relaxed and the strength is released!”
“The strength is relaxed and the strength is released!”
…
More than a dozen magic spells passed by each other. Although they did not hit the Billywig, they successfully prevented it from moving forward...
At this time, the little wizards seemed to have discovered a new world, and they were even more excited. They raised their wands again and prepared to hit the moving target again.
“Stop everyone!” At this moment, Professor Oren, who was lying on the ground, suddenly shouted sharply.
He took out his wand and shouted loudly when the Billywig flew over his head.
“Everything is petrified!”
Professor Oren reached out to catch the fallen Billywig, put it back into the cage, and then stood up tremblingly.
He rubbed his waist painfully.
No wonder people say that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a hard job. This really makes sense.
Holding back the pain, Professor Oren looked at the little wizard with concern and asked, "Are you all okay? Have you been stung?"
“No, Professor.” Everyone shook their heads.
"That's good." He breathed a sigh of relief, and after repairing the podium, he said, "Then let's continue the class. By the way...except for the first person in line, everyone else put away their wands."
Everyone does as you are told.
Although they still had some unfinished ideas, after seeing Professor Oren's angry look just now, they did not dare to mess around again.
After all, no one wants the petrification spell to fall on themselves.
With this mentality, almost everyone can succeed at once, and the progress is much faster than before.
However, Professor Oren did not look relaxed at all. On the contrary, he became even more nervous.
When get out of class was over, he didn't even leave his homework and left the classroom without looking back.
This class was really tiring for him, and he really didn’t want to stay for another minute.
Oren returned to the office and closed the curtains, taking a satisfied sip of black tea.
In any case, it’s finally over. Although there was an accident, luckily it was all under control, and all ten Billywig bugs were... huh?
Wait a minute, why are there only nine left?
Olen quickly put down the tea cup and counted it carefully twice.
That’s right, one is indeed missing.
One of the cages was empty, with a fist-sized hole in it.
"Merlin's beard..." Oren quickly ran back to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, but he found nothing there.
“It must be the new spells that hit the cage just now!”
Oren looked at the open window in the classroom and said angrily: "Fifty galleons, just gone!"
