《Harry Potter: A Certain Hogwarts Professor Of Magic》Chapter 19 - Open Class (3)
Advertisement
In the school hall, all the students were silent, their eyes glued to the podium, afraid of missing a detail.
There is a fierce battle going on.
The palm-sized dolls came and went like the wind, their athletic figures accompanied by large flames and puffs of ice crystals with every punch and kick. Now and then, one of them would pull out some kind of "trick", such as Fire Man's big fireball or Ice Woman's ice spike, to bring the heat to a new high.
After three minutes, the battle ended with Fireman's flaming flurry of moves and "Hidden Magic: Phoenix Transformation", which knocked out Icewoman.
Many of the young wizards sighed in unison.
They wanted to see their adorable Ice Sister in action ...
Felix's voice came at the right time, "This is another branch of evolution from the original ancient magical texts, the art of alchemy."
"What you are looking upon is an uncomplicated piece of alchemy, a magical golem. The outer shell is not the key, the key is the ancient magic circuit inside."
"And the ancient magic circuit is essentially a combination of magic texts."
"This is the practical part of your final exam."
The excited young wizards were a bit confused, they had to do this? Aren't you overestimating us, Professor?
You're new here and probably don't understand the reality of our situation ...
I'm not sure if I'm the only one who can do it.
"Of course, this magic golem is still too complicated for you, but the good thing is that the ancient magic texts necessary to make a magic golem basically cover over five years, and I will divide the difficulty level according to the different years."
"I will elaborate on the specific requirements later on in the class."

The young wizards breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Professor!" One of the Hufflepuff girls raised her hand and asked.
"I'm a fifth-year student, but all the ancient magical texts I've studied before are mainly translations, so do I need to learn something new? But I have to take OWLs this year ..."
"I see," Felix said calmly, " First of all, firstly, there is no need to relearn anything new, I have seen your textbooks, please keep a little faith in your professors."
Felix made a joke.
"And it must be mentioned that Professor Babbling is a very good expert in ancient magical texts, and her choice of the textbook is very appropriate. It contains both a theoretical translation and a small amount of practical magical texts - although perhaps Professor Babbling didn't elaborate on that part, considering it's a class in ancient magical texts and not a class about alchemy."
"But it's quite enough to serve as a guide to get you over the initial hurdle if you aspire to study more advanced content in the future."
Many of the young wizards put their minds at ease.
"Secondly, for this year at least, the practical exams will still be mainly extra credit and I will also consider teaching more theory in Year 5 to Year 7."
Some of the young wizards below the stage were happy, while others wailed.
"Again, some students may worry that the practicals take up too much time, but the two are supposed to go hand in hand, and you may unknowingly acquire more knowledge during the sessions."
"That's my answer." Felix gave a salute.
The audience applauded.
"Now, we have about half an hour left, would anyone like to try their hand at controlling these magic golems?" Felix asked.

This was not a question at all.
The young wizard shouted with enough excitement to lift the ceiling.
"Oh, you may not be able to use your wands to manipulate the golems accurately, so you'll need this!" Felix waved his wand and out of his suitcase flew twelve odd things - in fact, it's a gamepad.
"You can use it to manipulate the puppets, let me demonstrate ..."
It didn't take long for the students to get their hands on them. Felix used his transfiguration to create six more stages, but after all, there were hundreds of people here today, so it was impossible to rotate them all.
Ron and Harry were lucky enough to get a chance. The two were soon exchanging blows, occasionally releasing a "trick" and shouting with excitement.
But no one laughed at them, as the most of the little wizards went crazy, screaming in an exaggerated fashion.
Felix stood by, discussing the Open Lesson with Professor Filius.
"It was great!" That is what Professor Filius said.
Professor Snape had left without a word, and no one knew when he had left as much as they knew when he had arrived.
Lockhart, on the other hand, looked preoccupied, unaware of what he was thinking.
The fun times were always short, as the lesson came to an end and some of the students arrived at the hall in time for dinner, only to see the duel in full swing, taking a quick glance and quickly forgetting their original purpose and joining the crowd.
This delayed the start of the meal by half an hour, and Felix was forced to end the lesson and restore the Hall to its original state.
Throughout the dinner, the young wizards continued to discuss about the open class, especially those who were lucky enough to be selected to play against each other and were so excited to discuss their "experience" that they seemed to have replaced figurine with each other with knives and forks in their hands.
It must be said that the young wizards had no shortage of ways to entertain themselves.
At the Gryffindor table, Ron also enthusiastically described his " summit duel" with Harry, which he had lost by a very narrow margin, but this did not mask his enthusiasm.
" I've just used the Fireman, and it was so cool, phew! Pah!" Ron swung his knife and fork and threw a piece of pumpkin pie at Neville's head.
Although Harry was not as excited as Ron, he was equally excited.
However, he felt a vague sense that he would prefer to be on the field and take part in the duel himself rather than manipulating a magic golem ...
Hermione felt a little unhappy that she had just missed her turn. She loved the ice girl, it was so cute and like a doll, she had when she was a little girl.
But, there' still a chance!
If she became Professor Hap's assistant, she would be able to get her hands on that doll.
Hermione cheered herself on.
She could even make her own Magic Golem, based on herself, but with smaller teeth and smoother hair. ...
The open class proved to be an unquestionable success, and Felix became an instant celebrity!
I'm sure the discussion about the open class will go on for a while and become a schoolyard legend of some sort, like so many rumours that one wonders what happened to it.
