The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Percy took Tom's pamphlet and was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that Professor Lockhart actually understood him very well and knew his difficulties.

Everything his little brother Ron had been through, he had been through as a child! His two older brothers are Charlie Weasley and Bill Weasley. These two brothers are both legends, like the sun and moon in the sky. In their light, Percy is rather inconspicuous, overshadowed by his role as Bill and Charlie's younger brother.

The two of them are like two towering trees that shield their family from wind and rain, but they also leave a large shadow for their younger brother, blocking all love. Percy could only wear their old robes, and use their discarded textbooks and stationery - only the wand was brand new, but that was entirely because the wands of his two brothers had not been replaced because they were too worn out.

Fortunately, I passed the exam with great efforts and finally grew into a big tree. I was able to step out of the shadow left by my two brothers and enjoy the sunshine. Who can know all this? Even his girlfriend Penelo doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart.

But Professor Lockhart saw it.

But thinking about what Professor Lockhart said to him, Percy couldn't help but think of his brothers who were causing trouble every day. Percy loved and hated the thought of them. But for a moment, Percy wondered if he had also become the shadow of his brothers, turning them into grass under the trees without sunlight...

However, thinking of the various pranks Fred and George played on him on weekdays, he felt that it would be more appropriate for them to act as cow dung under the big tree. Will Fred and George be depressed? What a joke! If one day the two of them were really depressed, Percy felt that he would definitely pull out his wand and point it at them and say: You two liars who pretend to be my brothers, give back my two brothers who are like cow dung! "

Of course, if their lives are not in danger, they can also be allowed to live with the kidnappers for a period of time - and they can pay for their meals.

On the other hand, it was his younger brothers Ron and Ginny. Percy found that he really didn't seem to pay enough attention to them. Most of his energy was absorbed by studying and Fred George. But he did hope that Ron and Ginny could grow up healthily, and that all his family members could reap their own happiness - even Fred and George. He thought for a while and decided to give his little sister some of his notes. As for his younger brother Ron, he is getting along well with Harry Potter and shouldn't need to worry about it.

There is not much I can do, so I can only study hard, enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation, seize the time to climb up, and improve the family's current situation. At least they can't let the Malfoy family weigh on them anymore. He felt that if he became a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, he must teach Lucius Malfoy a profound lesson.

"Sometimes family members don't like what they say..." The first half of Professor Lockhart's words came to Percy's mind again, and Percy felt a little emotional: What Professor Lockhart said is so right.

Is this also in your calculations? Professor Lockhart!

While Percy was distracted, Tom called over all the students on the list, memorizing their faces.

"Okay, have you all got the brochure?" Tom waved the remaining brochure on the podium, "Everyone will look through it when you have time. These are my "Traveling with the Vampire" and "Traveling with the Giant" A refined version of "Weirdos". As a novel, it is inevitable that there are too many artistic processes and modifiers, and I also noticed that in some places I wrote unclear words. It is not suitable as a teaching material for higher grades, but is only suitable for children in lower grades. It is for their enlightenment. So my teaching assistant, Miss Granger, and I worked together to make such a refined version, which contains a more realistic and detailed description of these dark creatures."

Only then did Percy lower his head and glance at the booklet with densely printed letters. At first he thought it was some kind of exam question, but he didn't expect it to be a textbook specially prepared by Professor Lockhart for senior students like them.

But if you have a special edition, why do you want us to buy a set? Wait a minute, it seems like I didn’t spend any money on that set? That's okay.

But there seemed to be a name mentioned in Tom's sentence just now: Hermione Granger. Percy had also heard about this little girl. She was a second-year Ravenclaw student who loved reading and was quite cute.

Does this book also have her credit?

Percy took a look at the content on the first page. It was full of useful information and felt that it was summarized very well. It was much more detailed than what was written in Lockhart's original work. Although the original work is good-looking, when it comes to fighting dark creatures, it is very exaggerated and feels a bit distorted. Although the general direction is correct, some places are indeed nonsense.

But this is also what everyone admires about Lockhart: everyone admires his unconstrained imagination.

"Appropriate detail" and "moderate adaptation" are the advantages of the novel, but these two things are disadvantages in the textbook.

Fortunately, Professor Lockhart took this into consideration and made targeted adjustments.

"Everyone, put your books away first. We don't need textbooks or paper materials for this lesson." Just when Percy wanted to continue reading, Professor Lockhart on the stage interrupted his reading. Although he wanted to continue reading, Percy was very obedient and put the book away.

"You are already in sixth grade, and you will soon face the N.E.W.T. exam. Since you are here, it means that you need to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. I won't say more about the importance of this exam. Anyway, your dean must have told you countless times, this time I will tell you about the exam format."

After Tom briefly explained the exam pattern, he took the big package to the podium. He didn't waste any time on the details of the exam, because he knew that these senior wizards must already know them well.

"I found that your actual combat ability is seriously insufficient. I can guarantee that if I let go and fight you, most of you will not even be able to survive a single move in my hands." Tom is not targeting anyone with me. I just want to say that everyone here is speaking in a XX tone.

Tom wasn't lying. If the little wizard at the scene had a one-on-one duel with him, he would most likely be killed instantly. He turned directly into a basilisk, and the little wizards had to lie down and wait for the mandrake to mature.

Wizards are all squishy, ​​and basically whoever gets the first move wins. Generally speaking, let alone the Killing Curse or the Fire Curse, a torn piece can kill someone. Voldemort versus Dumbledore, Dumbledore versus Grindelwald, this kind of battle involving dozens of rounds is a rare scene, most of the time. It's one blow that determines the outcome. At the lower level, Snape instantly killed Lockhart, while at the higher level, Dumbledore instantly killed Fudge, Umbridge, Kingsley, and Deluxe. Those who fall behind have almost no power to fight back.

Such characteristics of wizards often lead to some outrageous achievements among wizards. For example, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-principal, was directly taken away by a wave of stun spells cast by Umbridge's minions. But in the decisive battle, she paired up with two people and fought back and forth with Voldemort. Based on this calculation, Umbridge can kill Voldemort instantly with three times the manpower?

And Professor Snape, obviously so strong, but he could stand in front of Voldemort for even one second? Is the gap in strength between them really so big that they can kill each other instantly? Not really.

The wizard is really too fragile!

A real wizard duel should be about positioning and blocking with magic spells, and magic spells against each other. As long as one of the parties is hit, they will basically lose. The one who could continue the duel despite resisting several spells was not a wizard, but Hagrid.

Although Tom's words were hurtful, the little wizards did not question them. This is how a duel in the wizarding world works, unless you cast the protective spell fast enough and your dodge and roll movements are proficient enough. Otherwise it’s basically a flash sale.

"So you need enough practical training! I won't take action, [Senior Sister] will help you and make you strong enough." Tom tore off the package and exposed the doll [Senior Sister] inside come out.

A beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes suddenly appeared in front of everyone. She was still very eye-catching. The students' eyes widened in surprise. When Professor Lockhart walked into the classroom, they had guessed what was in the package. They had guessed a lot, but they didn't expect that there was a beautiful doll inside!

Professor McGonagall's transfiguration is indeed very powerful, and the puppets she creates look lifelike, almost indistinguishable from real people.

"This is a work I made together with Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, and it will also be your next coach." Tom took out the controller, "You first move the table to the back of the classroom to make some space."

Moving the table naturally does not require him to do it himself. Tom stood on the podium and watched the little wizards use the levitation spell to move his desk to the back of the classroom, freeing up a large space.

"Which students want to come up and give it a try? Let's have a duel with [senior sister]." Tom looked around the students in the room, and most of them showed expressions of eagerness to try: After all, this [senior sister] looks like It's novel, interesting, and beautiful.

Oliver Wood went straight to the front row.

"Yes, very courageous!" Tom encouraged Wood, and then retreated under the podium, leaving the stage to [senior sister] and Wood.

Tom didn't force [Senior] to come up and pull out the one-handed sword and teach Wood how to add points to the wizard correctly. She just inserted the sword on the ground casually, stretched out her right hand, and waved to Wood.

Wood also drew his wand.

"Bow!" Tom directed the two people to bow to each other in the audience. This is the etiquette of a duel.

"Three, two, one, start!"

"Expelliarmus!"

"..."

boom!

[Senior] walked directly in front of Wood and punched him in the stomach, making him curl up like a prawn and lose the ability to resist.
