Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 147 Respecting the Champion

Flitwick beckoned, and a photo frame on the desk flew over. He stroked the photo and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

This is an old photo that looks quite old.

In the photo, Flitwick didn't have a beard. He was short and smiling brightly, holding a trophy in his hand and waving it non-stop.

Surrounded by flowers and ribbons, it was stamped in small gold letters "The new champion of wizard duels - Filius Flitwick!"

Zhang Xiao instinctively felt that Professor Flitwick's story about him was related to his previous speech.

He sat up straight and made a posture of listening carefully:
"I think that must be a wonderful story."

Professor Flitwick slapped his head and snapped his fingers. A bottle of red wine and a goblet flew out of the cupboard. After shaking the goblet, Professor Flitwick said leisurely in a recalling tone:
"Because of my size, my life was not very pleasant at the beginning. People's strange eyes made me uncomfortable. In order to alleviate this depression, I decided to use my wisdom to let others know myself again.

At this time, I fell in love with the spell. "

Zhang Xiao nodded. Students with special appearances would always get more attention, which he could fully understand.

Flitwick took a sip of red wine lightly:

"Magic is so magnificent, and I have experienced unprecedented happiness from the magic spell. Concentration and a little bit of talent have allowed me to go further and further on the road of magic spells.

Because of my obsession with spells and my desire to be recognized by everyone, I accepted Dumbledore's proposal and participated in the wizard duel contest.

Zhang, do you know how many magic spells I have mastered while participating in the competition? "

Flitwick looked at Zhang Xiao and asked with a smile:
How many spells?Zhang Xiao thought about the number of "Standard Spells" and "Advanced Spells", and asked tentatively
"I guess there are more than 300?"

Flitwick is like a showing off child, happily sticking out a finger

"1000! I have mastered more than a thousand spells!"

Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, more than a thousand?So there are so many spells?
"Like Miss Penelope, I have left countless sweats on this road, studying gestures, syllables, and studying all possible ways to improve the spell.

Relying on these, I defeated opponents one after another and reached the final. "

Flitwick was silent for a while, looked up and drank all the wine, looking at himself in the photo frame, waving the trophy under the flowers and ribbons.

It seems to have come to the exciting game scene again. Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, various spells are flying in the air, and there are piercing "chi chi" sounds.

Torn ground, amazing magic effects.

Flitwick's eyes became distant and deep, he looked up at the ceiling, and tapped on the handrail with his fingers.

"The night before the final, I was so nervous, I had never been so nervous in my whole life.

I was like crazy, reciting and reviewing all the spells I learned, and I didn't even sleep, just reviewing and reviewing.

Until the day of the game, something happened that made me extremely desperate. "

Zhang Xiao's emotions were raised following Professor Flitwick's narration, and he asked nervously:
"Professor, what happened?"

The magic red wine has a high alcohol content, Professor Flitwick is already slightly drunk, his eyes are full of memories, but there are flashes of light.

Said in a calm but full of emotion tone:
"I found that I forgot most of the charms I learned."

Zhang Xiao felt that his breathing seemed to be stagnant for a while, and then he let out a long breath, the shock in his heart was even stronger than the first time he heard Ron's 'wrong' spell.

Flitwick also fell silent again, and poured himself another glass of wine, talking about the bizarre experience in his shrill voice:

"Yes, I forgot, although I didn't forget all of them, but I forgot at least half of them. They were all spells that I had become very proficient in, but they seemed to have never appeared before. I couldn't remember what I improved. Previous spells and casting gestures.

I still remember that I was anxious and frightened. I cried and found out the spell book, and I cried while flipping through it. The game was about to happen, but I forgot the spell. Is there anything more sad than this?

But it was useless, no matter how I looked at it, how I memorized it, I couldn’t remember it, and it was like this until the referee of the competition let me enter.

I can't even remember how I got to the arena, I thought 'Come on, this is probably the most boring duel match ever?Duelist who forgot the spell?ha! '

I just stood there like a fool, I didn't even know where to put my hands and feet, sadly imagining how I would be defeated without even casting a single spell.

At this moment, the other side cast a spell like me."

Professor Flitwick's mood suddenly cheered up. He waved his cane and said joyfully:

"My body moved by itself, I felt like I hadn't done anything, but with a wave of the wand, the Iron Armor Curse came out by itself, and the duelist on the opposite side was shocked!

Firing spells at me frantically, I found myself using spells one after another, so naturally, as easy as breathing.

Before I could realize what was going on, my opponent was lying on the ground, and I had already won the championship. "

Professor Flitwick's voice gradually lowered, and he gently touched himself in the photo frame with his glass. In the photo, Flitwick had gotten a bottle of champagne from nowhere, and was shaking wildly, rushing With the wine sprayed below.

"To the champion!"

Old Flitwick and Photo Flitwick raised their wine at the same time and drank it down.

Zhang Xiao walked slowly in the school corridor, with a calm expression, Professor Flitwick's words still echoed in his mind:

". Later I realized that it wasn't that I forgot, but that I was too proficient in those spells. They had become a part of me, integrated into my mind, my body, and my blood.

I don't need those cumbersome spells and gestures anymore. I just need my thoughts
Zhang, I never thought that you have vaguely touched this threshold at such a young age. Never, never has a little wizard been able to skip the theoretical stage and go straight to the essence.

I don't know if this is good or bad for you, the reason I tell you this story is also to tell you, don't wonder if you are wrong, you are not wrong, you are just too advanced.

So don't doubt your child, just like the beginning of magic is to release the first spell of life through thinking and feeling, then the destination of magic is still the heart, it just circles around
I suggest you still come to the meeting of the Charms Club, you don't need to talk, just listen to how those little wizards are like newborn chicks, curiously exploring the boundless sky.

Maybe their theories are useless to you, but this is the anchor point and imprint they left on this road, and these things will eventually lead them to a new peak.

I think watching their experience can be good for you too
Zhang. I hope you can go out of your own way and climb the highest mountain that no one has ever reached! "
