Chapter 151: Wizard, Filch?(1/2)
The two weeks after baptism are affectionately called "the devil's two weeks".
Not only were the classes difficult, but the homework was too many and too difficult, it was like hell.
However, there are still two groups of students who hold different attitudes towards this.
They are the fifth grade students who are about to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination (o..l) and the seventh grade students who are about to take the Ultimate Wizarding Examination (O..L).
They affectionately call these two weeks "sprint weeks."
For them, these two weeks have been of great help.
Professors will conduct a general key review based on their situation, rather than spending class time on more difficult knowledge.
The term "sprint week" was deeply loved by the professors, and they decided to call it this name from now on.
At the same time, in the past two weeks, both the principal, vice principal, professors and deans have received many letters from parents.
Some of them were very satisfied with the baptism and wrote a letter to thank the school.
Many parents of children who did not attend the baptism also sent letters to complain.
Many of them cursed the school and bluntly stated why Hogwarts did not explain the importance of baptism to them, causing their children to lose such a great opportunity.
To these, Dumbledore replied uniformly:
"The school is the children's school, and the children are your children. Therefore, Hogwarts respects your opinions."
However, many apologized to the school, saying that they had lost trust in their alma mater, and sincerely hoped that their children could participate in the next baptism.
Dumbledore naturally agreed to this and hoped that they would trust the alma mater where they once lived.
After that, Hogwarts held another impromptu meeting, initiated by Dumbledore.
The content is: whether to normalize baptism.
After discussion, everyone felt that we should take another look. If the students are all fine before the start of the next semester, baptism will be normalized.
The time is still the second weekend after Christmas, but the time has been changed from Saturday to Sunday.
At the same time, there will be a course on Sunday evening, which will be arranged by each dean.
The professors hope to maximize and optimize the effect of baptism.
It is worth mentioning that Filch did not turn back into a squib.
Under Dumbledore's long-term supervision, he found that Filch's output of magic was constantly decreasing, but it began to slow down until near the final exam.
Filch can still release magic, but the effect is much worse, not even that of a first-year student.
This may be due to the help of Ralph and his magic research team.
After learning that Ralph and the others had achieved good results, Dumbledore brought Filch in.
However, Filch's cat did not come, and she was temporarily given to Hagrid to take care of.
Hagrid also got his wish.
Dumbledore hoped that Ralph and the others could design a magic training program suitable for Filch.
Dumbledore had also sought Filch's consent in advance for this matter. After all, his original identity as a Squib would be revealed.
Filch looked at Ralph and the others nervously, while Dumbledore was telling them about Filch's situation.
When they learned that Filch had been a squib not long ago, Ralph and the others did not show any abnormality, but looked at him with encouraging eyes.
….
Among them, Daniel's eyes were the most sincere, as if a light full of hope was shining on him.
This almost made Filch cry on the spot.
Dumbledore also looked at them differently. Thinking of what he said in the Transfiguration class, he silently admired them and continued his story.
When they learned that Filch became a wizard because of baptism, they were all shocked, and Ralph's eyes were full of differences.
Does it still have this function? It seems to be somewhat similar to the magical animals in your own territory.
The people present couldn't help but look at Fei with magical eyes.
Filch, it made Filch's hair go crazy.
He felt a strange sense of familiarity in this look, as if he had noticed a little wizard traveling at night.
Finally, Dumbledore hoped that they would not reveal the news that Filch was a Squib, and that baptism could turn a Squib into a wizard.
Everyone present agreed.
Ralph also took out a piece of paper covered with magic patterns, wrote Dumbledore's request on it, and then asked everyone to sign.
Dumbledore looked at them curiously and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the contract paper invented by Lily-senpai and Pandora-senpai."
"It has a certain contractual effect and can bind the signer based on the above content so that he or she cannot breach the contract or dare not breach the contract."
"This one was developed after they received a notebook from Professor Flitwick."
"This is one of the first batch of test products. According to their experiments, the binding force is not very strong, and it only lasts for 5 years."
"I estimate that they used the runes of "soul" or "consciousness" or "memory", and then used the magic patterns to fine-tune..."
As soon as he mentioned it, Ralph couldn't stop. He not only told its origin, but also his own analysis.
[Recommended, @
Claude nodded and wrote it down.
"Are your parents wizards?"
"Yes."
Filch felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when he said this.
"Um."
Crowder sensed Filch's mood, responded softly, and wrote down the message.
"Do you know your height?"
"18"
Claude looked at him differently, as if he was ready to ask William to measure Filch's height.
I was also shocked at the same time, I didn't expect Filch to be so tall.
Maybe it's because he has always been hunched over.
"I wrote down the amount of wand I bought."
Seeing their differences, Filch explained.
"good."
Crowder recorded it.
"Where's the weight?"
"Not sure."
"Okay, William!"
"Roger that, team leader!"
William stood up, raised his wand, and a disk flew out of the cabinet.
This is also a product of Lily and Pandora. It can be used for weighing any items.
However, they have not considered selling it, it was their invention of idleness and neglect.
"Mr. Filch, please stand up there."
William put the disk on the ground and said to Filch.
Filch responded, walked up, and looked at the plate at his feet curiously.
Soon, magic patterns lit up one after another, and Filch quickly straightened his body, not daring to move anymore.
After a while, a text appeared on it, 74kg.
Crowder took note, asked Filch to sit down again, and thanked him for his cooperation.
Then, he asked, "Mr. Filch, do you know the [Levitation Curse]?"
"[Levitation Curse]? I, I may not be familiar with it."
Filch said nervously.
"It's okay, can you demonstrate it again?"
Crowder took out a piece of parchment and placed it on the table.
Filch carefully took out his wand for fear of breaking it, his eyes full of love for it.
He raised his wand tremblingly and waved it, "ingardiueviosa".
