On the way to the hall, Albert kept chatting with Fred, George and Lee Jordan about what happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He noticed that the three of them were shaken as to whether Professor Moody was fake or not.
.
He was not surprised. What Professor Moody taught in class had a strong personal touch. Only Professor Moody, an Auror, could teach everyone the experience of fighting dark wizards.
Albert did not intend to express his opinion on this matter. In his opinion, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all took this matter too naturally.
That was risking his life, pretending to be a professor and sneaking into Hogwarts as an undercover agent. He wasn't here to kill Dumbledore. How could he let others see the flaw at a glance?
If Albert didn't know anything, it would be difficult to see through Moody's disguise.
It's a pity that he knows everything, but Moody, oh, Barty Jr. knows nothing.
He didn't know that there were people who knew everything, and he didn't know that he had worked so hard to ask Mad-Eye about various habits and practices, trying hard to pretend to be Mad-Eye, and then he met a guy who peeked at the script. It was really a sad story.
Everyone quickly brought the topic to wandless magic, and they were all eager for such handsome wandless magic skills.
No way, the scene where Albert used his hand to break the spell was so cool.
Although the three of them had seen Albert do similar things before, at that time Albert was wearing a defensive bracelet and using the effects of magic props, and what he just performed was a genuine wandless magic.
"What Professor Moody said is actually not accurate. Wandless magic is not a skill that only highly skilled wizards can master." Albert said to the three of them.
"Can you teach us?" Fred looked at Albert expectantly.
"What to teach?" Shanna came over with food, "Will the Defense Association continue?"
"No, I don't have time, and there's no need. Professor Moody can teach you a lot of useful things. The experience of an old Auror is a wealth." Albert said with a smile.
When he heard Albert talking about the old Auror, George had a strange expression on his face.
"Learning wandless magic requires a lot of energy. Generally speaking, I recommend that everyone learn silent spells. Silent spells are more practical than wandless magic. Moreover, I think Moody should teach us silent spells." Albert asked.
We took a seat and sat down to eat.
"I heard from others that silent spells are difficult to master." Angelina asked again, "Really we won't hold defense association gatherings? I always feel that Professor Moody is unlikely to teach us some more practical spells, although his
Experience is indeed very good, but I prefer the feeling of everyone practicing magic together in the Defense Association."
"You can hold your own party." Albert said without hesitation, "I can recommend some useful books to you, and you can practice magic by yourself."
"Forget it, without you, I'm afraid no one will come to the party." Angelina is very self-aware. Why so many people are willing to participate in Albert's Defense Association is entirely due to Albert's personal charm and cohesion.
, it would be difficult for ordinary people to do it.
"I recently discovered a very interesting magazine." Aaliya took out the magazine she received yesterday and shared it with everyone. It was "Defense Guide".
She noticed that Fred and others were somewhat silent, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. We have read this magazine and the content is pretty good."
After receiving Albert's warning look, George coughed slightly and changed the subject, "You guys have taken the topic astray. Albert was just going to teach us wandless magic."
Several girls also became interested and all looked at Albert.
"Wandless magic is difficult to perform, and the operation is not accurate enough, which can easily cause unexpected consequences, so I suggest that you use the easier-to-use luminous spell to train." As if to demonstrate to everyone, Albert raised his left index finger, and a ray of light appeared.
Condensed at the tip of your finger, "The trick is to cast the spell without using a wand. It may feel like you're...holding your breath at first."
As if realizing that everyone was eating now, Albert changed the word "constipation" to "suffocation" in order not to affect everyone's appetite.
"puff!"
Lee Jordan almost spit out the food in his mouth, but luckily he reached out to cover his mouth immediately.
"Are you sure that will work?"
"It's similar to practicing silent spells, but it's more difficult. Because you don't rely on a magic wand, it's difficult to use complex magic. More often, you need strong enough willpower, and you also need strong magical power. It's a bit similar to what you used to do when you were a child.
The magic is out of control, just like this." As he spoke, Albert picked up the spoon and focused on it as if to prove it to them.
In front of everyone's eyes, the spoon seemed to be twisted into a piece of scrap metal by an invisible force.
"Is this wandless magic?"
"That's right. You can also think of it as losing control of your magic power. Didn't Potter lose control and blow up his aunt last semester?" Albert took out his wand, clicked the spoon, and restored it to its original shape.
"Wandless magic is to control one's own magical power with guidance. Don't think I'm fooling you." Albert casually gave everyone an example, "Most of the students in Wagadu know how to use wandless magic.
Wand magic.”
"How is it possible? How did they do it?" Angelina asked in disbelief.
"They can easily use wandless magic because they have cast spells without wands since they were young, and they have gradually become accustomed to using wandless magic. However, when casting spells without a wand, it is difficult not to use too advanced magic. Advantages
Even if you don't have a magic wand, you don't have to worry that you can't do anything and you won't leave any evidence."
"I remember you mentioned last semester that you were attacked by Wagadu students during the Magic School Potions Championship competition," Fred recalled.
"That's an old trick of Wagadu students. They like to attack students from other colleges when they are picking raw materials. Since they don't use magic wands, they don't leave any evidence and don't have to worry about being caught."
"What's the result?" Shanna asked curiously.
"Of course I knocked that bastard down." Albert shrugged, "I only learned that Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts is the worst among more than a dozen magic schools when I participated in the Potions Championship.
Yes, and it’s notoriously bad.”
"He was unlucky and encountered a tough situation." George said with a smile, "However, to hear you say it, wandless magic is indeed very convenient and practical for sneak attacks. Many wizards don't use it when their opponents don't have a wand.
Would be too vigilant.”
"Because in their impression, wandless magic is a skill that only highly skilled wizards can master." It's not difficult for Albert to understand this, just like how Muggles feel when faced with guns.
In fact, this is indeed the case in the UK. At least there are not many wizards in the British magical community who can do this.
"If we want to master wandless magic, how long will it take?"
"If you want to master it initially, it should take half a year at the earliest. As long as you work hard to practice the luminous spell within half a year, you will definitely be able to master the luminous spell without using a wand. Once you master the luminous spell, you can practice other wand-free spells.
When you use magic, it will become easier." Albert thought for a moment and gave a relatively conservative figure. He felt that if they practice hard every day, at their current age, as long as they are not squibs, they should be able to do it.
"Half a year to master the luminous spell without a wand?"
Several people were silent. It was impossible for them to spend a lot of time and energy studying, just to master a simple light-emitting spell.
What's going on!
"It's normal, because you haven't always practiced wandless magic. It's like mastering your mother tongue and learning another foreign language." Albert made a simple metaphor.
"I haven't seen how difficult it is for you to learn a foreign language!" George couldn't help but complain.
Albert really didn't lie to them. Although his proficiency in using wandless magic comes more from his panel skills, it does not mean that he knows nothing about how to train wandless magic. Taking the first step from scratch is actually the most difficult thing.
Yes, this is why he thinks it will take half a year.
"Forget it. If you have the energy, let's study our joke props. We are currently developing an enhanced version of the fake wand!" George gave up directly.
"what is that?"
"A kind of fake wand. When the wizard uses this wand to fire spells, the wand will turn into something." Fred introduced the three girls. "Imagine that when the two were dueling, they found something in their hands.
Catch a fish or a chicken."
If the wizard's wand could be secretly replaced with a fake one, they would really make a fool of themselves when they needed to use it.
"We are preparing to create an enhanced version of the fake wand, which will beat up the unsuspecting user after use." George introduced to everyone.
"Sounds good," Lee Jordan commented.
"My suggestion would be to give the user a good beating," Albert suggested.
The corners of Fred's mouth twitched slightly, "Isn't this a bit too cruel?"
"It will come in handy soon, and you can make it into various versions and sell it at different prices." Albert suddenly said, "I have a good idea. You can actually make all kinds of interesting Easter eggs.
They are placed in the gashapon machine, allowing customers to choose at will. After opening the Easter egg, various prizes and surprises will appear. For example, after opening the Easter egg, a disgusting smell will be released to knock people out, beat them up, and make people...
The hair is dyed and stood up, or fireworks explode. Of course, there also needs to be valuable prizes inside, like opening a chocolate frog and there will be a chocolate character card, but no one knows what surprises are inside."
"This is a good idea. It's called a surprise egg. It's very suitable for birthday gifts and Christmas gifts for friends. No one knows what surprises will be found in the eggs." George immediately took out his notebook and wrote down this good idea. He felt
This thing should be very popular with children.
"I don't think anyone likes to receive such a gift." Aaliya couldn't help complaining.
At this moment, there was a loud "bang" from the foyer, followed by several people screaming, breaking the atmosphere in the hall. People who were eating and chatting turned their heads towards the door of the hall, curious about the foyer.
What exactly happened there.
As a gossip-loving person, Lee Jordan would not miss such an opportunity, so he dropped his half-finished dinner and ran over to join in the fun.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Moody's shout came from outside: "Don't touch it."
"It seems like something interesting happened." Albert looked away and continued eating his dinner without being affected at all.
"Why don't you go out and have a look?" Fred threw down the fork in his hand and prepared to go over there to see what was going on. More and more students gathered there.
"Aren't you curious?" Shanna asked.
"Curiosity killed the cat, and when Lee Jordan comes back, we'll know what's going on outside." Albert finished the beef stew on his plate.
"Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret and made him jump randomly in mid-air, as if to punish Malfoy for trying to sneak up on Harry from behind." Lee Jordan briefly explained what he saw.
Fred and George were also listening. When they passed by, they saw Moody grabbing Malfoy's arm and dragging him towards the underground classroom, as if he was going to find Snape.
"Snape's expression must have been wonderful."
"Professor Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret, floating and jumping in mid-air?" Albert put down his fork and asked.
"Yes, I always feel that Professor Moody hates Malfoy." Lee Jordan muttered softly. "Under normal circumstances, professors in schools would not punish students in this way. In the end, Professor McGonagall stopped by.
.”
"Moody hates sneak attacks from behind. Do you remember what he said in class just now?" Fred reminded.
"I think there is another reason." George lowered his voice. "Do you still remember the chaos at the World Cup? Many people thought it was caused by Death Eaters, and most of the Death Eaters are pure-blood wizards. Pure-blood wizards in the British wizarding world
There are only a few members of the Blood Family, and many people believe that Lucius Malfoy was the one who led the trouble that night."
"Is there any evidence?" Aaliya raised her eyebrows slightly.
"When the mysterious man lost power, Lucius Malfoy was accused, and finally escaped by pretending that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse." Albert continued the topic for George, "Some of my friends
He also thinks he was a fish that slipped through the net back then, and Professor Moody is very hostile to dark wizards, so he naturally hates being thought of as a descendant of dark wizards, especially when Malfoy tried to sneak attack Harry."
Of course Albert knew the reason why little Crouch was hostile to Malfoy.
"But why did they run away when they saw the Dark Mark?"
"It may not be the same group of people, and Death Eaters and drunken and troublemaking wizards are two different natures. Only Death Eaters know how to release the Dark Mark, which means they will be targeted by the Ministry of Magic."
This incident spread quickly. Not only them, but everyone around them was excitedly talking about what had just happened. Malfoy's transformation into a ferret would soon become the latest news in Hogwarts.
