Chapter Twenty-Seven: Twenty Points for Gryffindor!
Watching Seamus, as expected, blow up the feather in front of him, Zhang Dong, who had already dodged away, was quite helpless.
No, if you're trying to prove something to others, can you please not say it's because of me? My reputation!
It seems I need to do something for my own reputation.
Thinking about this, Zhang Dong looked at the feather in front of him, then gently waved his wand.
“Wingardium Leviosa!”
Buzz!!
The moment the sound fell, the feather in front of him gently flew up, even dancing in the air with Zhang Dong's wand.
“Beautiful levitation charm! Five points for Gryffindor!”
Flitwick was very satisfied. Finally, finally, a reliable student appeared. But since this one is Zhang Dong, it's not surprising.
The bonus points system for Charms class is quite simple. If someone successfully casts a charm in the first class, they get bonus points, but not in the second class.
Moreover, a charm is only taught for a month, with only four classes a month. Therefore, this Levitation Charm is already the fifteenth point Zhang Dong has earned for Gryffindor.
“Wingardium Leviosa.” Harry also silently waved his wand. The next second, the feather in front of him flew up.
“Harry!!” Ron looked at Harry beside him in disbelief. He actually made the feather fly on the first lesson? Unbelievable!
Seeing Ron's shock, Harry said with some embarrassment: “When Zhang Dong was teaching Seamus, I learned along with him.”
“Please don’t say that Seamus was taught by me, thanks.” Zhang Dong said helplessly, not wanting to admit this.
“Wingardium Leviosa.” Neville waved his wand, and the feather floated up. As fellow roommates, one sheep is the same as two sheep, if they’re all being taught, then teach them all.
Ron…
“So, what was I doing at that time?”
“You were playing with your rat, Ron.” Neville whispered. Seeing that his companions had all succeeded, Ron immediately became nervous! He quickly picked up his wand and said:
“Wingardium Leviosa! Wingardium Leviosa!! Sa! Sa! Sasa!”
Ron kept waving his wand, but the feather in front of him didn’t react at all.
“You'll poke someone's eye out like that.” Hermione looked helplessly at Ron in front of her. She silently picked up her wand and reminded him:
“It's Wingardium Levio-sa, not Wingardium Leviosa, pay attention to the pronunciation.”
As she spoke, the feather in front of Hermione flew up.
Hermione looked at the unhappy Ron in front of her, proudly waved her wand, and made the feather tremble in the air.
Ron, on the other hand, lowered his head dejectedly, secretly deciding that from now on, he would definitely not slack off whenever Zhang Dong’s small class was held.
“It seems Mr. Zhang Dong has the potential to be a professor. Miss Granger, Mr. Longbottom, Mr. Potter have all succeeded! Gryffindor… fifteen points!”
Professor Flitwick was extremely shocked. This was the first time in his class that so many people had directly used the Levitation Charm. Adding Zhang Dong, twenty points were added in one class, truly breaking his record.
Flitwick was even considering whether to give only one point per person in the future.
This is also because the Levitation Charm is quite basic. In the Transfiguration class next door, after two months, some young witches and wizards still can’t transform a match into a needle. Otherwise, why would there be a separate Transfiguration class?
Zhang Dong finally showed a smile. See, I do have talent for teaching, Seamus was just an accident!
The rest of the class was relatively simple, everyone was practicing silently, especially Ron. However, the more anxious one is, the easier it is to make mistakes. Although Harry on the side was enthusiastically teaching him, Ron still didn’t learn it before class was over.
This is also normal. To learn a charm in forty minutes, that's already a very talented wizard.
Because of this, the unhappy Ron also complained to Harry and Neville:
“It's Wingardium Levio-sa, not Wingardium Leviosa, she's so annoying, no wonder she can’t make friends.”
Ron complained in this way, but with his loud voice, how could Hermione not hear it?
Hermione walked over to him in displeasure. Seeing Hermione’s angry gaze, Ron felt awkward. To say bad things about someone behind their back and then get caught, how could one be comfortable?
“Uh…”
“I have friends!” Hermione simply said this sentence, then turned and left.
In the Great Hall
As Halloween was getting closer, pumpkin lanterns were already hung from the ceiling of the Great Hall. Whether in the Muggle world or the wizarding world, Halloween is a major festival. The difference in the wizarding world is that Halloween is truly scary, with ghosts scaring people.
“Peeves! If you hide in the pumpkin lantern and scare people again! Don’t blame me for being rude!”
Zhang Dong shouted loudly at the Peeves in the ceiling. He didn’t want to be woken up by this guy in the middle of the night, pulling his nose.
Hearing Zhang Dong's words, Peeves stuck out his tongue at him, and then went into the pumpkin lantern, refusing to come out.
Seeing that Peeves knew he was wrong, Zhang Dong put down his wand and prepared to fight the pine nut cake in front of him. But he found that the seat on his left was empty. So Zhang Dong asked Harry and Ron across from him:
“Where’s Hermione? Did you see her?”
Hearing Zhang Dong's question, Ron said awkwardly: “That… this…”
Ron didn't know how to tell Zhang Dong about what happened today, after all, he knew that Zhang Dong and Hermione seemed to have a good relationship.
Seeing Ron like this, how could Zhang Dong not know what happened?
He originally thought that after he taught everyone the Levitation Charm, this wouldn't happen again. After all, even though Ron wasn’t there, so many people knew the Levitation Charm, he shouldn't have said anything bad about Hermione. But the result was still the same.
One can only say that this guy’s mouth is really foul.
Thinking about this, Zhang Dong stopped his movements, then silently stood up from his seat.
“Zhang Dong, where are you going?”
“Looking for Hermione.” Zhang Dong said this, then left Ron and Harry with a cool back.
Just as Ron wanted to say, "I'll go with you", they saw Zhang Dong quietly walk back, pick up the plate of cake in front of him, and once again left Ron with a cool back.
People are made of iron, and food is made of steel. One meal is enough to make you feel hungry!
