Chapter 61: norwegian forest
The Dementor craze brought by Iger swept through Hogwarts like a hurricane. As Iger expected, when Harry and Neville saw the Dementors for the first time, the two of them immediately rolled their eyelids. This had excited Malfoy for a long time in the past.
"The strong reaction to dementors is not because of their fragility, this is what I want to tell you." Iger sat on the big box of dementors and glanced at the second-year students below: "The reason It's not a hard thing to talk about with this strong, uncomfortable reaction to the Dementors because of their heavy past experiences."
"For those who have this kind of experience, they are often more able to appreciate what happiness is than others." Iger's tone was flat: "From the seventh grade down, the success rate of summoning the patron saint increases with each grade. The lower, but if I don't expect Harry and Neville to be one of the quickest to learn."
"Mr. Morriss, is the Patronus Charm only for Dementors?" Not far away, Lavender Brown raised his hand and asked Iger.
"Of course it's not that simple. Every spell we've learned contains a certain aspect of philosophy." Iger shook his head: "For example, the Patronus can help you deliver letters, or deliver some words for you somewhere. , and can even have a good effect on those things that have an evil aura. If you have studied carefully in your magical creatures class, you should know that the Patronus Charm is the only one so far that can damage or expel Voldemort bats. but the main target is the Dementors, because the power of the Patronus is derived from happiness."
"Even when your life is in danger, the Patronus can block the damage for you. This is all about the magic of the Patronus spell, but maybe I taught you a little early. This spell is actually difficult to master. So your final exam is not about facing a dementor, but resisting an attack by a dementor." Iger waved his wand in his hand, a silver kitten appeared beside Iger, and the cat jumped forward gently. On Hermione's table, Iger's voice sounded: "Hermione Granger!"
There was a burst of laughter in the class, and Hermione's face was a little rosy.
"These are some magical uses of the Patronus Charm. Of course, the premise is that you can summon it." Iger looked down and smiled.
Looking at a group of students who were struggling to summon the Patronus, Iger walked around the crowd and Hermione looked ahead intently, calling the Patronus over and over again, but at most it was only a thin layer of white light.
Iger was a little curious. The patron saint will sometimes become different due to changes in people's emotional experiences. Iger was curious about what Hermione summoned, and would it still be the otter in the original book?
Just thinking about it, Iger walked gently to Hermione's side and whispered in Hermione's ear, "Aren't you happy enough with me by your side?"
Hermione's face turned red, and then the tip of the wand trembled violently, and a hairy silver object flew out of the wand with a 'swish'.
Iger turned his head and saw that it was a furry Norwegian forest cat...
Hermione pursed her lips and looked at Iger with some bright eyes. Iger laughed silently. The students not far away only felt a burst of satiety in their stomachs, and they couldn't bear it.
……
Due to Iger's unstinting teaching, a large part of the people in the academy have mastered the Patronus Charm. In contrast, Iger's deceased soul in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom The blame is very miserable. Every day, some students propose to face the dementor. The poor dementor was originally skinny, and now it is even thinner after a group of students tossed it...
Iger could clearly see the difference between the front and the back of this dementor. In just two or three weeks, it was much smaller than when he was locked in the box by himself...
Although the students were tormented by Iger's tough training method, it has to be said that the level of Defense Against the Dark Arts of the students at Hogwarts this year has reached a record high, even Neville and Simona All kinds of humanoid self-propelled bombs can come and go for several rounds. When there is no class, the patron saints of the students can be seen everywhere in the corridors. Some help with fetching things, some send messages, and some even help with moving things. of!
With this kind of progress, even Professor McGonagall, who is very disapproving of Iger's teaching method, can't help but be amazed. However, since Professor McGonagall's transfiguration class has nothing to stimulate students' potential, Professor McGonagall has always envied Iger's teaching. Efficiency of the method.
However, Professor McGonagall also borrowed a lot of Iger's methods. For example, she asked the elves to empty the chairs in the classroom. If students don't want to stand in class, they must master the method of turning objects into chairs. At present, the effect is still Obviously, the Transfiguration class, which has always been regarded as the most difficult subject by the students, can have at least three-quarters of the students sitting in the class, and even Professor McGonagall suggested that if they were able enough, they could change into a soft sofa...
"Wandless spellcasting has always been the most difficult thing in people's eyes, but I think you should have more or less experience in using magic before entering school. For example, some people make flowers fly automatically, and some people I will grow black hair the next day after being shaved." Iger smiled.
"What I want to say is that when we communicate the magic in our bodies, you will find that sometimes it is not so difficult to cast spells without a stick." Iger clapped his hands, and a small teacup suddenly appeared in front of the students below. The middle is full of black tea, and a small silver spoon is placed on the rim of the cup First of all, let's do a simple little experiment. You can put away your wand in this class. The feeling of using the rod to cast spells, in fact, I am also in a state of groping now. Iger smiled, stretched out his index finger and drew a circle on the top of the cup, the small spoon in the cup suddenly stirred, and then under the surprised eyes of the students below, the black tea in the cup in front of Iger slowly turned into a cup milk tea.
"This is a simple application of magic, and it can be regarded as an introduction to wandless spellcasting." Iger looked at the bottom: "If you don't like the taste of tea, tell me the drink you like, the tea on the table. It will be replaced, but don't change it too many times, the elves are very hard, and the waste is shameful."
Looking at the sparsely changing students below, Iger smiled: "Mr. Longbottom, calm down and gesture a little slower."
Neville hurriedly took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He stretched out his index finger and gently circled the quilt. The spoon quickly spun, and the black tea in the cup also turned into milk tea.
"Nice attempt, five points for Gryffindor." Iger clapped his hands, and after seeing the whole class move the spoon, Iger looked down and said again, "Who can come and tell me? , what is the most direct difference between casting without a wand and using a wand?"
Harry raised his hand high, and Iger called his name directly.
"Attention!" Harry's green eyes looked at Iger expectantly: "Wandless casting requires more attention."
"Very well, please sit Mr. Potter." Iger turned around and wrote a word on the blackboard: "Attention!"
"What else? Did you find anything?" Iger looked below.
