Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Professor Wilson's demonstration today was so cool, I wonder when we'll be like him!” After returning to the dormitory, Seamus Finnigan, who shared a room with Harry, jumped excitedly on his bed.

“But the professor also said that if you want to upgrade spells, you have to improve your intelligence. With my one-star intelligence, how long will it take to upgrade?” Although Ron was also envious of the magic shown by Anduin, he felt a little pessimistic looking at the lonely ★ on his screen.

“Well, you're still much better than me, my intelligence is only half a star.” Neville scratched his head awkwardly, then looked at Harry next to him, “I'd say Harry has the best talent, his initial intelligence is ★★☆, he will definitely learn spells faster than us in the future.”

“Yeah, Harry, why was your intelligence so high from the start? Even stronger than George and Fred, they only have ★★.” Ron flipped over on the bed and looked at his companion next door.

“I'm not too sure.” Harry shook his head blankly, “But my other attributes are so low, my magic power hasn't even passed 90. How did you all exceed 100? It seems that even second-year students only have a little over 100.”

“Didn't the professor say?” Ron pointed to the screen, “Magic power is also related to physique. We've had good food since we were young, and Neville often goes to Uncle Wilson's house for meals. I heard he usually eats magical animal meat, which is much more nutritious than ordinary food.”

“I remember Uncle Wilson also often sends meat to the Weasley family, you guys should have eaten a lot too.” Neville patted his pillow to let his head sink in completely.

“There is quite a bit, but we have a large family.” Ron shrugged helplessly, “So we can only eat good food during the holidays. Now that you mention it, I miss the taste of dragon meat sausage again.”

Seeing several partners unknowingly shift the topic to food, Harry couldn't help but smack his lips enviously. He had lived with his aunt's family since he was a child, and usually he could only fill his stomach.

“Stop talking about these things and go to bed early, we have classes tomorrow. In the morning it's Charms class, and in the afternoon it's Tactical Training. And we have to get up for morning exercises in the morning.” Neville's living habits were very regular under the guidance of his grandmother and Anduin, and he was already half asleep and half awake at this time.

“Merlin's beard, can you please stop mentioning that damn morning exercise, I almost forgot about it.” Ron turned over uncomfortably and covered his head with a pillow.

“Tactical Training, I wonder what the professor will teach us in the first class?” Harry muttered, then slowly closed his eyes.

……

The next morning, students all over the school were running wildly in the corridors early in the morning. They had to get to the front yard before being late. Fortunately, today's time was half an hour later than last night, so everyone wouldn't be so tormented, but they still couldn't afford the consequences of being late.

However, when everyone arrived at the courtyard and lined up in the same formation as yesterday, they found that standing at the top of the steps was not Anduin, but that guy Hogg.

At this time, the dog was wearing a training suit similar in style to everyone else, and a whistle was hanging around his neck, looking down at them arrogantly.

“Everyone hurry up, do you still want to eat breakfast? Line up quickly!” Hogg paced back and forth on the steps, scolding everyone.

“Why are you here, you bastard? Where's Professor Wilson? Didn't we agree to do morning exercises?” George looked at Hogg on the stage and cursed unhappily. Everyone else looked at the top of the steps with confusion.

After all, compared to Anduin, everyone present was familiar with Hogg. Who hadn't bought one or two blind boxes during the summer vacation? Therefore, everyone was not as nervous as yesterday when facing this guy.

“Hehe…” Hogg grinned and said, “Since you sincerely asked, then Grandpa Hogg will be merciful and tell you. I am your morning exercise training instructor, and I will be responsible for everyone's morning exercises in the future, so you better be careful, I am not as kind as Professor Wilson, you better not make me uncomfortable!”

“What? You're leading us in morning exercises, why is our instructor a dog?” Flitwick pursed his lips speechlessly. The two brothers were annoyed when they saw Hogg, and they had to do morning exercises under his nose in the future, who could stand it?

“How dare you insult the instructor? Gryffindor loses 5 points!” Hogg pointed at Fred with a smirk on his face, and then the silver amulet around his neck suddenly lit up, apparently Hogg's deduction had been recorded.

“How did I insult him? He's a dog in the first place!” Fred whispered to George next to him in despair, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

“Damn, we're going to have a hard time in the future, this arrogant guy, the most hateful thing is that he really is a dog, it seems like it's useless for us to scold him like this!” George also lowered his voice and complained frantically.

Hogg on the steps still had that smug look, “Don't think I can't hear what you're saying in your hearts! Line up quickly!”

Under Hogg's scolding urging, the crowd in the courtyard reluctantly began to organize their formation.

Fortunately, the prefects on the scene seemed to have learned of Hogg's appointment in advance, and had to work hard to maintain order on the scene.

“Beep!”

Scanning the finally neatly arranged formation, Hogg picked up the whistle and blew it loudly. The harsh whistle made everyone's scalp tingle, but it also made everyone wake up a lot in an instant.

“Okay, morning exercise officially begins, first is 5 minutes of warm-up exercises, everyone follow me!” Hogg shouted at everyone, then suddenly stood up like a human, “The first movement, jumping jacks 30 times! 1, 2, 3, 4……”

Seeing that Hogg was really leading the exercises like a dog, everyone could only follow along with speechless complaints. What is this all about? Why has Hogwarts become so strange this year? On the second day of school, we have to do jumping jacks with a dog?

In the next 5 minutes, the more than 800 people in the school were completely dumbfounded. They watched Hogg, this dog, lead them in 5 warm-up exercises, from increasing heart rate to stretching, everything was available.

Everyone really didn't expect a dog to have such good flexibility. Not only were these movements done quickly and standardly, but there was even time to scold people during the exercise.

As long as someone's movements were half a beat slow, or not standard enough, they would be scolded by Hogg.

And the scolding was as harsh as possible, but if anyone wanted to talk back, Hogg would threaten to deduct points, and for a time the arrogant Hogg aroused public resentment.

“Beep!” After completing the warm-up, Hogg blew the whistle again, “Okay, warm-up is over, next is a long run, run back and forth once to the ring-shaped stone pile on the west side of Hogwarts Castle as the destination!”

“Now form 4 queues according to the academy and grade, with the 7th grade students taking the lead, and the prefects leading the way in the front. You should already be familiar with the route!”

After saying that, Hogg blew the whistle again, urging everyone to move, and then the queues of 7th grade students from the four academies took the lead, forming a queue of four teams.

After they ran out along the overpass next to the courtyard, the 6th grade students automatically followed, and soon all the young wizards gathered into a long stream of people.

Everyone had to run along the elevated stone bridge through two towers, the central courtyard, and around to the outside of the castle, and then run along the road towards the Forbidden Forest. This journey is at least 3 kilometers, and running back and forth is not an easy task for these young wizards.

After confirming that everyone had followed, Hogg got up and chased after them, while constantly explaining the essentials of running to them, “Don't talk casually during the running process, two steps for one breath, two steps for one breath, pay attention to increasing the depth of breathing, be sure to let the air fully enter the lungs.”

Then Hogg ran quickly to the front of the team, “Don't run too fast, the younger students behind can't keep up, slow down the step frequency, pay attention to the rhythm of breathing, the purpose of morning exercise is to let you learn to breathe!”

After scolding back and forth in front of and behind the team, he ran to the front to shout slogans for everyone, “One, one, one two one, beep, beep, beep beep beep!”

“Hogg, that bastard, is really noisy, and why does he always like to blow that annoying whistle at us? No matter how far away it is, it sounds like it's blowing directly in our ears. I bet that thing must also be an alchemical item!”

George ran panting with the team, not forgetting to complain to his brother.

“Let's talk less, I feel like my lungs are hurting, but speaking of which, why is Hogg's stamina so good? He doesn't get tired from running back and forth like this, does he?”

Fred's lips were a little pale at this time, so looking at Hogg, who was still full of energy, he couldn't figure it out.

“Are you two guys talking bad about me again? This little distance is boring for you, right? How about you stay behind and run two more laps later?”

Just as the twins were complaining to each other, Hogg suddenly popped out from the side like a ghost, glaring at the two with a displeased expression.

“No! How dare we, Grandpa Hogg, please have mercy on us!” George was really a little afraid of Hogg now. He and Fred couldn't beat him, and they couldn't win an argument. People could deduct points from them at any time, so he immediately admitted defeat.

“Consider yourselves smart, remember not to play tricks in front of me, Grandpa Hogg will be watching you all the time.” Hogg anthropomorphically stretched out two dog paws to his eyes, then pointed at the two of them.
