Chapter 362: Fly here, fly away curse
Chapter 362: Flying, flying away curse
With half an hour left before the first class, Hermione followed Kyle's suggestion and went to find Professor McGonagall.
Kyle doesn't know whether she will continue to use the Time-Turner or be free to choose the courses she takes.
But judging from her appearance, Kyle guessed it was the former.
Because when Hermione left, she still looked very hesitant, just like when she came, which showed that she had already made a decision in her heart.
But even if she did use the time turner, there would actually be no problem.
After all, if you want to influence people outside your own time, the conditions that need to be met are still very strict. Apart from anything else, it is unlikely that the entire magic world will find a second time converter just for that special time converter.
Let alone having a wizard as powerful as Salazar Slytherin behind the scenes.
Kyle shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He turned and walked up the stairs to prepare for the first spells class of the year.
…
Professor Flitwick’s Charms class progressed somewhat too slowly in Kyle’s opinion.
The content of the first class in the fourth grade is the Flying Curse. It is no exaggeration to say that Kyle has already mastered this spell before he went to school.
Furthermore, in the last few months of the first grade, Oren also mentioned this curse when teaching about werewolves, and taught them gestures and spells by the way.
It’s just that at that time, most people didn’t pay much attention.
…
“The quill is flying.”
Kyle waved his wand gently, and then reached out to catch the quill that floated from the shelf.
“Perfect presentation, five points for Hufflepuff!”
Professor Flitwick smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, come and try it. This spell is still very simple...
"But remember, when chanting the spell, you must think about what you want to summon. The clearer the better... In addition, the hand holding the wand must be steady... otherwise it may fall on your head."
Professor Flitwick stepped down from the stack of thick books and gave everyone a quill, just like when they learned the Levitation Charm.
Only this time, the quill not only has to float, but also has to fly into the hand.
Professor Flitwick walked around the classroom, patiently correcting every little mistake he saw.
Soon, he came to Kyle.
At this time, Kyle was teaching Ryan the correct hand gestures... The flying spell he just used kept going astray, either snatching the quill of the Ravenclaw student opposite, or intercepting Mikel's.
Only the quill in front of him remained motionless.
“This is exactly what happens when there are too many of the same things around.”
Professor Flitwick stepped forward and said: "You can try to use ink to tap the quill and make a mark, so that it can be easily distinguished."
Ryan suddenly understood, and quickly lowered his head and started looking for ink.
Professor Flitwick then looked at Kyle again.
“I knew it would definitely not be a problem for you.”
He lowered his voice and whispered: "So I have other requirements for you in this class."
“Say, Professor.”
“Try to change the trajectory of the flying spell so that the quill appears in another place.”
"For example, this..." Professor Flitwick waved his wand gently.
The quill on the table immediately flew up, but it did not move towards Professor Flitwick. Instead, after spinning a few times in front of him, it flew straight into Kyle's hand.
Kyle looked at the quill dancing on the palm of his hand and asked, "Is this a flying spell?"
“It’s another application, it can also be called the flying spell.”
Professor Flitwick said, "Although most people think that it is enough to learn the Flying Spell, and the rest can be completely replaced by the Floating Spell, I always think that this is different."
There was a hint of reminiscence on his face, "I remember when I won the first duel competition, I used a stone to unexpectedly knock away my opponent's wand."
Kyle looked at the quill in his hand and nodded in deep agreement.
Professor Flitwick is right, they are indeed different. The biggest difference is that the floating spell cannot move living things, but the flying spell can.
“Professor, are their spells the same?” Kyle asked impatiently.
This spell is indeed very useful. In addition to quills and stones, there are many other things to choose from.
For example, biting cabbage... poisonous tentacles... freshly pulled out of the soil, the mandrake is still howling.
It just so happens that he has it all.
The only disadvantage of these magical plants is that they are difficult to move, so they can usually only be placed in fixed places and used as traps.
But it’s different after learning this magic spell.
With a wave of your hand, you can directly send biting cabbage or poisonous tentacles to the opponent. It is convenient and quick, and it is perfect for creating surprises.
Hearing Kyle's question, Professor Flitwick shook his head, "There is no difference. This is the Flying Curse, so the spell will not change."
He explained: "What you need to do is to find and change the traces of trajectory magic in the spell on the way things fly over, and find a way to extend them to other places."
“You try it first.” Professor Flitwick said with a smile, “This can be considered a small test for you. I remember that I wrote about trajectory magic in my third grade notes.”
“Yes, it’s on the page about the Pathfinding Spell.” Kyle nodded, and then took out his wand...
“The quill is flying!”
On a shelf not far away, a quill flew over unsteadily, swaying left and right in mid-air as if it was drunk, sometimes turning around to the left, and sometimes moving back a little.
Professor Flitwick kept watching nervously. It was only after the quill finally fell into Kyle's hand that he nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good...well, I mean, this requires very high requirements for magic control. It is normal for you to fail on your first try."
Professor Flitwick cleared his throat and smiled: "But I believe this will not be difficult for you. It should be no problem if you try a few more times... Remember, the point is to change the trajectory magic."
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Todd, and Mr. Wynnard...we only allow the use of quill pens now, put away your crackling exploding cards..."
Before he finished speaking, several exploding cards collided with each other in mid-air and exploded!
Fortunately, this kind of crackling and exploding cards are entertainment props, which means they are quite noisy and do no harm.
However, the huge noise still attracted everyone's attention. Some people's flying spells almost succeeded, but because they were suddenly startled, their hands shook, and the quill they were about to reach fell to the ground in an instant.
As for the two initiators, they were also deducted ten points each, plus their homework was doubled.
