"You want us to deal with this thing? What if we get hurt?" said a young wizard with platinum blond hair.
"Who are you?"
"Draco, Draco Malfoy." He introduced his last name in a long voice.
But Belby just nodded, "I've heard of the Malfoy family. Don't worry, I'll be watching." Then he added, "Of course, if you get hurt, don't worry, the damage caused by the red hat is easy to deal with."
He blinked at the little wizards who were silent below, "I specially brewed a batch of healing potions, all of which are rare fine products on the market..."
Draco looked at the new professor with an expression that said "If you get hurt, you'll win", and his already fair face became even paler.
"Red hats are agile when hunting. They will suddenly change direction and roll to avoid the counterattack of their prey. We can use the Expulsion Spell to deal with them. Correspondingly, the Petrification Spell, the Freezing Spell, the Tripping Spell, the Soft Legs Spell, the Tickling Spell, and the Extraction Spell can all be used. I don't make any specific requirements except for the Dark Magic."
"Little wizards, let me see what you can do!" Belby said passionately.
"Professor, can you use the Disarming Spell?" asked a little wizard.
Belby looked at him strangely and said, "Of course you can if you can. But that's not a spell you can master at your age..."
"Professor, I learned it in the dueling class." The little wizard with light brown hair said confidently.
The other little wizards took two steps back. Neville Longbottom and Seamus Finnigan were known as the two major accident makers in the classroom. One had frequent accidents in the Potions class, and the other was a rising star in the Charms class. Even Professor Flitwick couldn't tell what strange mistakes would happen to his spells.
"Very good, you are Seamus Finnigan? Please come forward."
Belby released the cage, and quietly softened the nails of the red hat with a softening spell.
In the expectant eyes of the little wizards, Seamus shouted the spell of the disarming spell
"Expelliarmus!"
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
Seamus's wand made a dull sound, like a winter thunder coming from the distant sky. A series of sparks sprayed out from the tip of his wand, accompanied by black smoke, sweeping wildly. The
little wizards quickly stuck to the corner of the wall, and Seamus's wand stopped, but his sparks ignited the red hair on the red hat's head.
Belby quickly shouted "Clear water like a spring" to put out the flames. He turned his head and looked at Seamus: "Uh... not a successful attempt. You are not proficient in the disarming spell. In actual combat, you will find that it is very stupid to use unskilled spells to deal with danger. Do you know other spells, tripping spell? Very good, but try it on the table first..."
This time there was no problem. Seamus successfully used the tripping spell to repel the red hat.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that the red hat did not dare to step forward. Most of the red hair on its head was burned.
Belby wiped the sweat off his face.
Next, the little wizards lined up and followed Belby's instructions to challenge one by one.
Since Belby did not forbid them to use the little evil spells they had learned by themselves, the strength of the little wizards collectively rose to a higher level, and most of those in the front completed the task with difficulty.
Dean Thomas's limp legs spell made the red hat suddenly fall to the ground, his whole body limp;
Draco Malfoy's tickle spell made the red hat laugh wildly;
Pansy Parkinson's repulsion spell made the red hat retreat again and again, unable to get close;
Hermione Granger's freezing spell froze the red hat in place, with only a pair of small eyes moving constantly;
Ron's petrification spell made the red hat's legs come together, and he fell to the ground like a stone;
Harry's disarming spell directly knocked the red hat far away, and he couldn't get up for a long time;
halfway through, the two red hats said they didn't want to attack at all, but when Belby took out a tube of dark red, blood-like potion and pointed at the little wizards, they became very excited.
After that, the little wizards were beaten badly.
In the following tests, the red hats showed strong aggressiveness and skilled hunting methods. They turned flexibly with their forelimbs and made threatening sounds in their mouths, which made the little wizards who faced them hesitate.
For the little wizards, once they hesitated and were timid, they would not perform well.
For example, Neville Longbottom, after several failed attempts to chant the spell, he began to run around the classroom, causing the Slytherin students to laugh. Soon he was forced into a corner, and the red hat kept scratching his thigh with softened nails.
"Fight back! Neville Longbottom, you need to fight back, no matter what method you use." Professor Belby on the side said loudly.
Neville mustered up the courage to grab the red hat's claws and swung it away.
The little wizards present watched the short red hat fly across half of the classroom in mid-air, and was finally caught by Belby with a floating spell.
Neville seemed to have opened up a new world for them.
"Very good! See? Red Hat is not that strong... When you are forced into a corner, instead of retreating in fear, you might as well fight hard."
The tall and strong Crabbe also wanted to copy the process. He threw a punch directly, thinking of knocking down Red Hat cleanly. But Red Hat evaded flexibly and tripped him from behind.
Red Hat jumped on Crabbe's chest and tried to scratch his face and eyes with his claws.
"What did I say? Don't hide, show your courage... Red Hats are not physically strong, they win in sneak attacks and flexibility." Belby encouraged.
But Crabbe screamed exaggeratedly until Belby used a spell to pull Red Hat away, and he couldn't stop yelling.
Draco couldn't help but pat him: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no injury on your face!"
...
When the class ended, Belby breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had foresight and softened Red Hat's nails with a spell in advance, otherwise, half of the little wizards would be knocked down.
Although he could really heal, it was not good to say that he had knocked down a group of students in the first class.
He summarized the class in front of the young wizards: "How many people noticed that the red hat's nails were cast with a softening spell?"
The sparse arms raised.
"This shouldn't be, it shouldn't be..." Belby shook his head, "The young wizards after Longbottom should realize this, he doesn't have a single wound on his body!"
The young wizards also felt embarrassed, but they really couldn't tell the difference at the time.
"Observation of details and judgment of the situation are things you need to think about seriously...Okay, this assignment is to write an essay of at least eight inches about this class, discussing your own gains and losses."
