Yes, if anyone could defeat Ron, who's always by Harry's side, it would only be his arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy, who's been with him since first year.
This is what some Hogwarts students who know Harry think.
But only a minority of the audience understands these things.
For a long time to come, Harry Potter will likely be synonymous with womanizing in the entire Wizarding World.
Fortunately, Harry was unaware of what was happening in the Wizarding World at that moment.
His only worries were whether his good friend Ron would be concerned that their friendship would sour, whether Malfoy would laugh at him for it, and whether Ginny would be jealous.
However, the latter thought was quickly dispelled, because he still felt comforted by his mother, "Ginny will understand you; it's all for the mission."
Influenced by her son's romanticized view of her, Lily, even though she sensed her son's undisguised attraction on two occasions, automatically made excuses for him and deeply believed in him.
Then, Professor Flitwick's words, "Let the lesson begin," made Harry forget his worries.
"There are 5 new students in our class today."
"They haven't been exposed to spell card making yet, so I'll give you a refresher on spell card knowledge here."
"When talking about spell cards, one cannot help but mention the original wand spellcasting."
"The trajectory of the wand's swing, the incantation, and most importantly, the wizard's will, enable the magical phenomenon to occur."
"The trajectory of the wand swing can also be replaced by hand gestures."
"Furthermore, the first two of these three elements can be omitted if the wizard's understanding of the magic to be cast is sufficient."
"That is, Wandless Magic."
"Spell card magic is the crystallization of a skilled wizard's three-dimensional understanding of magic, stored within his body, and ready to be used at any time."
("Is that so?" Dumbledore frowned, amidst everyone's expectant gazes. "This is difficult.")
("The understanding of magic can only be felt, not explained. Even the simplest Lumos, if written down, would be at least an inch thick.")
("Furthermore, due to factors such as values, upbringing, and language comprehension issues, they may not be able to fully acquire it.")
("Not to mention making them three-dimensional, this world must have found a simpler script to interpret magic, a script that possesses magic, perhaps it is magic itself, and it doesn't require later learners to understand it; they can simply imitate it to use it.")
("The magical circuits of Fantastic Beasts!" Dumbledore concluded.)
(Magic circuits are not what the Wizarding World calls them; it's just that after seeing and learning from intelligence about the items Krum exchanged— Magical Circuit —he found a more appropriate name than Magic Pattern.)
(Magic Pattern exist on the surface, flesh, or bones of Fantastic Beasts. Only a small portion can be observed with the naked eye; a keen sense of magic is required to perceive the rest. These runes are patterns that can create magical phenomena by inputting magical power.)
(The Magic Circle originates from it. It is closest to Magic Pattern; magical phenomena can be created simply by inputting magic power.)
(Magic Script are abbreviations and breakdowns of it. Wizards can use them to create spells or interpret spells. Only wizards with a deep understanding of magic, and who are not merely users, can truly learn it.)
(The trajectory of a wand's swing is a simplified version of its three-dimensional form. The tip of the wand is like the nib of a pen, and the path it traces in the air is the magical circuit. Once the wizard infuses it with their own magic and will, the magical phenomenon takes shape.)
(And spell cards might be a kind of artificial magic circuit.)
"This is the standard model of the Lumos Charm card." Professor Flitwick held out his hand.
The light condensed into a long strip in his palm, then twisted into a complex curved surface, and finally flattened.
"Making spell cards is not difficult. These twisted lines are the patterns formed by the wizard's understanding of magic in three dimensions. The reason for making them flat is that the inventors of spell cards discovered that only with a flat structure can the patterns be stable and take shape in your mental world."
"It does not exist directly in your body, but your spirit determines its existence."
("Is it really that simple?" Dumbledore stretched out his hand, and the cup in his hand transformed into a white dove, which flew into the sky.)
(With just a thought, he completed the Transfiguration spell card.)
("Spell cards? Just flat versions of talismans?" He was both amused and exasperated.)
(No one had ever thought of doing this before.)
(Because spell cards are essentially three-dimensional versions of Magic Circle.)
(What lunatic would compress the three-dimensional version of Magic Circle into a two-dimensional form and then sketch it out in their mind?)
(And coincidentally, these things, which are outlined and called spell cards, can exist very stably in the spiritual world.)
(If casting a spell with a wand is like drawing a magical rune each time you cast a spell, then spell cards are like pre-made magical runes stored in your mind; all you need to do is infuse them with magic.)
(This is a completely different direction of development. Wand spellcasting emphasizes the "name." Through naming the spell and practicing repeatedly, one connects the magical patterns outlined on the wand tip with the originally unrelated "name," eventually achieving the ability to cast the spell simply by reciting the "name," that is, the incantation.)
(The trajectory of the wand swing is omitted, and the further Nonverbal Spell are derived from this.)
(Dumbledore stretches out his hand, and the white dove transforms into clouds, flames, light, rain, and lightning, before finally disappearing.)
(In just three breaths, he had created spell cards for all his commonly used spells.)
(Seeing this, the other professors also tried it one by one, and all succeeded.)
(Even Hermione has completed the creation of the spell card for her most proficient Incendio. Ever since Basil suggested she try naming her invention of a warming device with blue flames, and after studying the Runes dictionary, she has also learned the spell model for this magic.)
(She only needed to try to flatten it, and luckily her spatial imagination and memory were quite good.)
(After several unsuccessful attempts, but feeling he was close, Ron looked up and asked, "Professor, does this mean we won't need wands anymore?")
(Dumbledore shook his head. "Creating spell cards requires a wizard's extensive knowledge. He needs to memorize the spell structures of the spells he has learned and visualize them. They can do it in their world because generations of wizards in their world have published the structures of many spell cards.")
("Furthermore, during the process of outlining, magic power is also consumed to travel along the trajectory, which is why spell cards can take shape and exist stably.")
("This is very difficult for many careless wizards.")
("Therefore, there are still quite a few spells that require a wand to use.")
"Use your mind to draw it?" Harry, who already had a good understanding of spells, tried to copy it directly.
The next second, light took shape in his hands.
Casting Wandless Magic, especially the Lumos, was not difficult for him, given that he had already formed a contract with the Spell Spirit the Lumos in the Magic Immortal World and his magical properties had changed. It was just a matter of a thought.
But casting spells with spell cards feels completely different.
If the process of transforming magic into light is like the magic in the Magic Immortal World being too profound and unpredictable to perceive or fathom, then the process of magic flowing through spell cards and the gradual occurrence of magical phenomena is as clear and easy to understand as if a high-powered lens were used.
He easily memorized several key trajectories and connected them to the wand-waving trajectory of the Lumos.
The wand-waving trajectory of the Lumos is clearly a simplified version of the former.
Amid Professor Flitwick's approval and the exclamations of the other students, he pulled out his wand again.
This time, he didn't chant any incantations; he simply waved his wand in a more complex motion, as if he were casting a profound ancient spell.
Then light burst forth from the tip of the staff like flowers blooming.
"Impressive, you have discovered the secrets of spell cards, and this is only your first time casting a spell."
Professor Flitwick exclaimed in admiration, then looked at the other students, "That's why I asked you to bring your wands."
(Having witnessed the wandmakers' status plummet and feeling hopeless about their future, the wandmakers raised their heads high, for even in this world, wands are still useful!)
"It is a great tool for verifying valid trajectories."
"And it also saves more magic power."
Upon hearing this, the witches immediately relaxed.
(Viewers who noticed this understood perfectly, as the witches in this world have no shortage of magic.)
(And even in their world, exhausting one's magic power through spellcasting is an extremely difficult task. Modern magic is efficient, with shorter incantations and lower mana consumption.)
"Most of the patterns on spell cards are for the purpose of maintaining their own stability. Only a portion of the patterns are effective trajectories—that is, trajectories that can produce magical phenomena when a wand is waved and magic is injected."
"But what's the use of it?" Simone raised her right hand.
"This will prevent you from becoming mere users of magic; you can even use it to develop your own spell cards," Professor Flitwick said seriously. "Almost every skilled wizard has their own unique spell cards."
After saying that, Professor Flitwick nimbly spun around in the air a few times. "My flight magic spell cards also have many patterns that I created myself. There are quite a few wizards who can fly, but none as nimble as me, hmph."
"You are already sixth-grade students. In fact, in my advanced Charms class, what you senior students need to do is not to sketch and copy more complex and powerful spell cards, but to find the effective trajectories in the spells you know, find their functions, and combine them."
(Ancient Runes, or Magic Script class professor Bassheda Bablin, stroked his chin. "This sounds like Magic Script class, so in this world, Charms includes Magic Script class. I'm really curious, what am I doing in this world?")
"A unique new magic trick is the only way for you to get an O (excellent) in my class this school year."
"Alright, now that Mr. Potter has already tried," Professor Flitwick said, looking at the new students. "What about you? Give it a try. Visualize a planar structure in your mind, and imagine magic as a liquid flowing through it."
For fairies like Krum, Cedric, Phoebe, whose physical bodies have been altered by the "Path" and whose magic has been transformed into that of spirits, this is quite easy.
But for Neville, to perfectly copy the complex structure in his mind was a very complicated task.
Neville's performance brought a great deal of peace to many witches, and even to Professor Flitwick.
It seems not everyone is as twisted as Harry and his friends, succeeding on the first try.
Professor Flitwick finally felt the sense of accomplishment of being a teacher. He held out his right hand, and a thick, dark green book flew off the shelf and into his hand.
He floated kindly to Neville's side, and the thick books opened automatically.
Each page is thick, containing text as well as textured patterns formed by indentations.
The whole book is more like a collection of thick woodblock prints put together.
"This is the Book of Spells. It contains many open-source spell cards, and the Lumos is one of them."
"The planar structure of the spell cards is represented on the pages in the form of grooves."
He held Neville's fingers and placed them into the groove.
"You can close your eyes and move your fingers along the grooves, mentally sketching the design in sync."
A minute later, a ball of light appeared in Neville's other hand, which was suspended in mid-air.
Professor Flitwick nodded. "Open source Lumos Charms are more difficult to shape and all appear in the form of light spheres."
"If you want something more personalized, you can try using a wand, or buy some custom spell card templates."
Even after class ended, Harry, Harry, and his friends still found it hard to believe that creating spell cards could be so simple.
"I dare say many viewers have already learned it," Krum guessed.
(Ron nodded smugly, the orb of light in his hand flashing.)
(Ginny retorted sarcastically, "What's there to be proud of? It took you an hour and a half to succeed. Neville succeeded in less than five tries.")
Cedric and Harry nodded.
The next spell is Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was on the fourth floor. Logically, to prevent Harry and the other three wizards from being kidnapped by witches on the way and taken to an empty classroom, Professor Flitwick should have escorted them to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
But the Draco Malfoy, Roan, Corab, Gale, Harley walking toward Harry made him abandon the idea.
Draco immediately put her arm around Harry's arm. "You're amazing, no wonder you're my boyfriend."
(Ginny was already numb; she didn't even blink.)
Harry wanted to refuse, but the intimate physical contact with the mature witch made it impossible and unthinkable for him, who had already acquired the body of a male witch in this world, to resist.
They couldn't even bring themselves to say a word of refusal.
Harley and Roan were not surprised at all. Male wizards were inherently weaker and more vulnerable in the presence of witches.
But they were very dissatisfied, but Corab and Gale blocked their way like two gatekeepers.
(While Ron was in the bathroom, he whispered, "Go for it, Roan! Beat Malfoy!")
(Draco Malfoy pushes open the toilet stall door, walks out, and silently closes the door behind him.)
Draco and her five companions did indeed drive away many witches who were planning to try their luck with the young men.
As the younger sister of Freda and Georgiana, two famous witches, Roan was enough to make other witches tremble with fear.
What's more, there's the existence of the Malfoy, a descendant of the infamous witch family.
And so, Harry and his friends successfully arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
