A very interesting detail appeared in front of Tom at this time. Isn't studying the application of Charms more interesting than picking out words?
So, while other little wizards were busy picking out accents and movements, Tom had been staring at the wand on the roof for a long time.
When Flitwick first noticed Tom's gaze, he thought he was just curious and shocked.
But after reminding Tom to listen carefully to the class, he still behaved like this, and Flitwick also felt helpless.
In his opinion, if he doesn't seriously correct his pronunciation and movements now, big problems may arise soon, so he plans to pay more attention to it later.
Just like that, the misunderstanding occurred.
After the basic skills of the little wizards reached a certain level, Flitwick finally used magic again to send all the wands back to the little wizards. Taking this opportunity, Tom really saw clearly the Levitation Charm used by the professor.
His eyes brightened a lot.
It turns out that when Professor Flitwick used Levitation Charm, he did not use it directly on the wand itself, but cast the spell together with part of the air around it.
In other words, it seems that he is using magic to make the wand float, but in fact, what really makes the wand fly is the surrounding air.
This air acts as a medium between the wand and the magic, preventing the magic from directly conflicting with the mystery in the wand.
This idea is not difficult, but the actual operation is not simple at all.
To cast a spell on the invisible air is not something a first-year freshman should be able to master.
But Tom wants to try it.
In the second half of the class, Flitwick gave each little wizard a large feather. "In the remaining time, everyone will try to make this feather float. Don't forget the accents and movements you just practiced. Remember to exert force with your wrists, and then shake slightly..."
"Then let's get started..."
After finally letting the little wizards start actual practice, Flitwick became more focused.
Although generally speaking, even if something went wrong with Levitation Charm, the consequences would be minor, but he still wanted the first class to go smoothly...
Each little wizard began to use Levitation Charm on the feathers in front of them.
This spell was not as difficult as expected, and the students in the class were Ravenclaw, who was famous for being a top student, and Slytherin, who was born in a noble family, so someone was able to make Feather react quickly.
Although it hasn't left the table yet, in fact, the feather itself has begun to accept the influence of magic.
Faced with such a situation, Flitwick is not stingy with more encouragement.
"Yes, that's it. Keep outputting magic power and keep firming up your thoughts in your mind. The thing in front of you is very light. It can float..."
Just as Flitwick was guiding the little wizard to continue to perfect magic, Tom also started his own attempt.
He has already become accustomed to the ordinary Levitation Charm. He can even make some heavy objects of the same volume float, but he has never tried to make the air float.
You must know that in his feeling, the air itself is floating, so the real difficulty lies in how to capture the air with magic power.
Without a specific image, it is obviously difficult to simply use the inherently incorporeal magic power to touch the similarly incorporeal air.
However, all these years of precise training in magic power have finally worked.
From Tom's wand, many tiny magical tentacles seemed to extend out. They began to continuously weave to form a network structure, trying to capture the air they came into contact with.
But this attempt failed.
It seems that the magic power is also constantly spreading around the feathers, making the feathers move as well.
Such changes were also noticed by Flitwick.
Owen is also a little anxious. He was the one who had been guided before. If Professor Flitwick looks at Tom at this time, does it mean that he is not as good as Tom.
But the more anxious he became, the calmer the feathers became, as if the swaying just now was all an illusion.
Professor Flitwick also felt Owen's impatience, and then calmed down directly, "Owen, don't compare with others, you need to stabilize your heart, you are very close to success, focus on your own casting..."
Owen obviously listened to it, took a deep breath, and continued practicing.
After casting the spell again and concentrating on it, the feathers really started to float little by little, and he was very excited.
He was the first little wizard to finish in the class...
After seeing his success, Professor Flitwick expressed his appreciation and then came to Tom's side.
"Mr. Tom, sometimes, being too precise may not be a good thing. Just be vague about the object you want to cast, delineate some range, and then teach the rest to magic..."
As the master of Charms, he also saw Tom's attempt.
Obviously, the previous guess about Tom was wrong. This little wizard is very strong. At least in terms of learning Levitation Charm, he has already started the third stage of learning. This kind of learning is far beyond what a first-year wizard should master.
But since Tom wants to try it, Flitwick just needs to take more care of it.
After getting guidance from the professor, Tom also came up with ideas.
In the past, he always wanted to treat the air as a stone or feather-like entity, trying to contact and control it, but the professor directly told him that if it is an invisible thing, don't really want to control it, just cast spells on the area where the feather is located.
As for whether it can be selected, that's up to magic.
So, Tom changed his mind. He regarded the feathers and the surrounding air as a whole, and then recited the spell--
"Wingardim·Leviosa!"
This time, the feathers were steadily dragged up and floated by the surrounding air.
Unlike Owen, which barely let the feathers fly, Tom is just the first attempt, and the results seem to be gratifying enough.
Professor Flitwick saw his spell and felt a little happy.
"Very good, perfect Levitation Charm. There are already two little wizards in our class who have completed the study of Levitation Charm. They are Owen and Tom. Let me add 2 points and 1 point to them respectively... After that, you must also learn from them..."
In the remaining time, the other little wizards also began to have success.
However, when they first started practicing, they were barely able to make the feathers float. As for the direction and height of the feathers, they still needed more practice.
But even so, they were very happy.
When they were at home before, they hardly practiced this basic magic, and they didn't know the details of this magic.
Slytherin The little wizards may have learned some evil spells from home, but those spells are more of a strong emotion. Charms When reciting spells, they are not so particular about gestures and pronunciation.
Their family also wants to teach the formal enlightenment of magic to Hogwarts. After all, there are the best wizards in Britain. They have studied teaching for a long time and have unique insights into the enlightenment of young wizards.
After they have mastered these basics, some improved magic training by the family during the holidays will be the key to widening the gap between them and Muggle-born wizard.
In class, Owen's performance has always been very good, and he has been praised by Professor Flitwick again and again, but he is not so happy. He always looks at Tom with a somewhat unwilling look.
Finally, the first Charms class is over.
"Mr. Tom, please stay for a while... others can leave..."
Flitwick When the little wizards were about to leave, they directly stopped Tom.
