Shock Absorption Charm

After lunch, Ron disappeared again.

While everyone else chose to return to the Ravenclaw lounge to wait for the afternoon classes.

Ron remained steadfastly in the Entrance Hall.

He gazed at the large ship on the distant Black Lake.

Hoping to spot Krum among the figures descending from above.

However, it seems that Krum is also avoiding him.

Ron hadn't found anything by the time Harry saw him in the Charms Class.

Neville had something to say about this, "I've heard that Krum has seen the Third Year Ravenclaw timetable."

They also inquired about the elective courses you took.

Give up, Ron, unless you skip class.

Or do you want to catch Krum?

"So, Krum can also see the Gryffindor schedule?"

"Lavender!" Ron looked as if he had just realized something.

He shouldn't have neglected his girlfriend because he was staring at Krum.

He can keep an eye on Krum.

But Krum could also use that to steal bases!

Ron then gripped Neville's hands tightly, "Thank you!"

Then the bell rang, and Professor Flitwick jumped up from under the podium.

He had been hiding there, taking advantage of his height.

Seeing that the students below were not causing any trouble while he was away, he nodded in satisfaction.

Standing atop a towering stack of books, he briefly called out names and began his lecture, "Please turn to page 2 of 'Standard Book of Spells (Level 3)'."

Today we're going to learn the Shock Absorption Charm, which you can also call the Cushioning Charm.

It was originally used in the making of flying brooms to ensure that the person riding the broom felt more comfortable.

Elio Smythek invented this spell in 1820.

Professor Flitwick paused for a moment and asked, "Then why is its technical name the Shock Absorption Charm, and not the Cushioning Charm?"

You, Harry!

"Because its function is actually to produce an invisible softening effect on the surface of the target."

At Hogwarts, this curse was cast on the pitch during the very first Quidditch Match.

However, under the influence of more and more Gryffindor students, most students developed the bad habit of riding brooms very high and then jumping down from the sky.

"The spell is canceled," Harry said, standing up.

Professor Flitwick nodded in satisfaction. "Ravenclaw 5 points!"

Then he drew his wand again, "Undetectable Extension Charm!"

The classroom space was expanded upwards according to Professor Flitwick's idea.

The ceiling height, which was previously only 10 feet, has been extended to 80 feet.

Harry, sitting in the last row, was also surprised to find that he was getting further and further away from the wall.

Professor Flitwick waved his spell again, and the pile of books behind him first grew larger, then bounced up and formed a spiral staircase behind the students.

Professor Flitwick waved his wand again, "Cushioning Maxima!"

Harry curiously touched the edges of the tables and chairs and the floor.

He was surprised to find that they were all incredibly bouncy, as soft as the most comfortable sofa you could sink into.

The pleasure and comfort of the Nimbus series flying broomsticks are unparalleled.

This is why male wizards dare to place their most vulnerable parts on a wooden stick.

Professor Flitwick gave Harry an approving look. "Very good, Harry has figured it out."

The entire room is now under Shock Absorption Charm.

You can try climbing the stairs made of these books.

"Jump down and have a go, experience the Shock Absorption Charm for yourself."

So, for the rest of the time, all the students in the classroom started jumping and bouncing around.

This place has become like a trampoline in the Muggle world.

Even Ron, who was deeply attached to Lavender, was drawn to all of this and became completely absorbed in the game.

When the bell rang, everyone was still in a daze.

Even the foot-long paper assigned by Professor Flitwick failed to move the crowd.

He could only watch with reluctance as Professor Flitwick restored everything to its original state.

"Ron, where are you going?" Neville called out as he watched Ron suddenly run away.

"I'm going to the Great Hall. Gryffindor has just finished their Care of Magical Creatures Class," Ron replied casually, then disappeared into the crowd.

"Us?" Neville looked at Harry.

"Let's go down to the first floor too. If Krum is really that much of a jerk and keeps an eye on Lavender, Ron might run into him."

I'm worried that Ron will get the short end of the stick.

"And there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time." So Harry and Neville ran down the marble stairs.

Ten minutes later, on the lawn by Black Lake.

Around the group of bright green Castelobruxo students.

Harry and Neville found Ron.

Lavender and Parvati were standing beside him.

At that moment Lavender was clinging to him, saying something unintelligible.

"Thank goodness, we finally made it, and you're all here." Harry's words were loaded with meaning.

"Harry, are you worried I can't beat Krum?" Ron glared defiantly at the large ship on the distant Black Lake.

"I have a few questions to ask you."

First, Parvati, you didn't tell Krum that Ron was Lavender's boyfriend, did you?

Parvati nodded in agreement.

"I already knew that."

Parvati told me.

"Krum is a bastard." Lavender tossed his golden hair in annoyance.

Harry simply smiled and said, "You're next."

Lavender, you didn't mention Ron was your boyfriend in your letter, did you?

Lavender nodded impatiently. "So what?"

Isn't Ron his friend?

"He already knew who I was, didn't he?" Lavender paused.

She noticed that Ron's expression had stiffened. "Wait, could it be that you've never mentioned me to Krum?"

Ron chuckled dryly, "I thought you had already mentioned in your letter that you were my girlfriend, but Krum still pursued you relentlessly."

"So, it was all a misunderstanding." Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

Neville also relaxed his body slightly.

They almost thought Krum was a real jerk.

But if that's the case, why does Krum keep avoiding Ron?

Ron also thought of this problem and turned to look at the large ship.

All three overlooked the fact that Krum mistakenly believed Ron was pursuing him.

According to the three of them, as well as Lavender and Parvati, Ron's performance was fine.

That was hatred that couldn't be clearer.

Those around Harry, Neville, and Ron, out of consideration for their feelings, never mentioned it.

As for Lavender and Parvati, those around them considered Lavender an unfortunate victim, used as a scapegoat.

Naturally, it wasn't mentioned at all.

So now, a new misunderstanding has arisen.

"Could it be that Krum already knows about Lavender and Ron's relationship?"

"So, out of pride, he never dared to show himself in front of us," Harry analyzed.

Neville, Ron, Lavender, and Parvati strongly agreed.

"No, I must explain this to Krum!"

"Lavender, let me handle everything. Don't bother writing to explain to him!" Ron's eyes blazed with fury.

He felt it was more appropriate for him to repair the broken relationship.
