The Admiral of Hogwarts

When it was time for lunch, several first-year Ravenclaw students came to introduce themselves to Hugo. Clearly, they had seen his performance in class and made a special trip to meet him. As Ravenclaw students, they could accurately judge, from subtle clues, which classmates in their year were likely to stand out in the future.

After lunch and a short rest, everyone returned to the Ravenclaw Tower to relax for a while, and then, around two o'clock in the afternoon, they took the textbooks for their afternoon classes and went to the fourth floor of the castle together.

The first class in the afternoon was Professor Flitwick's Charms class, so everyone obviously left earlier. After all, it was their Head of House's class, and everyone wanted to leave a good impression on Professor Flitwick.

When they arrived at the fourth floor, Hugo saw that the staircase on the fourth floor was a fork in the road. Professor Flitwick's Charms classroom was located on the left fork. There was no one on the right fork.

According to Professor Dumbledore's words at the opening feast, the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor was a forbidden area of the school. Although Hugo roughly knew what was inside and knew that he would definitely have to go in and take a look to get Destiny Points, it would definitely not be under the current circumstances without any preparation.

Finally, after taking one last look at this place, which was theoretically the final hurdle of the school year, Hugo followed the others and turned left at the intersection towards the Charms classroom. However, right at the intersection, several Ravenclaw students curiously stopped and looked down the right corridor.

"Get out of here," Filch suddenly appeared from somewhere and made a gesture of shooing them away. "If you loiter here again, I will send you all to detention."

Hearing Filch's sudden shout, the curious Ravenclaw students were frightened and quickly followed the group. After all, no one wanted to be in detention on the first day of school.

Ravenclaw's Charms class was with Gryffindor, so not long after entering the classroom, they saw the Gryffindor students also entering one after another. Firefly and her two roommates entered the classroom early, so they had time to wave and say hello to Orensi when they saw him.

Soon the bell rang, and Professor Flitwick walked in. He was a short wizard who was rumored to have goblin blood. However, no one would be so impolite as to ask him about it.

Due to his height, he had to stand on a stack of books to reach the lectern when he taught. Because it was the first class today, the first thing after class was to call the roll. When he called out Harry Potter's name, he actually shrieked excitedly and fell to the ground, disappearing.

Hugo always felt that as a professor who had experienced many storms, Flitwick should not be so excited to see Harry Potter. After all, he was not a Harry Potter fan like Ginny or Colin. Considering that he might not be a pure human wizard, Hugo suspected that this might be due to his bloodline.

Just like Hagrid, as a giant hybrid, had strong magical resistance and a physique far superior to ordinary humans, but also had some problems with his values and perceptions, Professor Flitwick, as a goblin hybrid, might also have some differences from ordinary human wizards.

Considering that Professor Flitwick had won the dueling championship when he was young, and that goblins could not only cast magic without wands but were also agile enough to use cold weapons when facing wizards (in the seventh book, when they went to Gringotts to rob the Horcrux, the goblins were all holding short swords, which shows that this is a standard equipment used by goblins), Hugo suspected that Professor Flitwick inherited the goblins' powerful magic and agile hands and feet.

However, what you gain, you must lose. And Professor Flitwick's performance today made Hugo realize that Professor Flitwick might have some differences from ordinary humans in other aspects besides his special appearance. For example, he might be more easily excited than ordinary people when faced with some special events, just like just now.

You must know that Harry Potter was not only the person who defeated the Dark Lord that year, but also the only person on record to have escaped from the Killing Curse. So, for Professor Flitwick, Harry Potter did have special significance, so it was normal for something in his bloodline to be triggered and for him to fall off the stack of books.

"Very good, very good." Looking at Hugo successfully using his wand to move the small piece of paper placed in front of him left and right on the table after reciting the spell, Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction and added 5 points for Hugo.

This time, the magic was much faster than casting the Transfiguration spell in the previous Transfiguration class, because when practicing Transfiguration at home, he always tried to turn scraps of paper into small iron pieces. Although the casting process and spells were exactly the same whether it was turning a match into a needle or turning a piece of paper into an iron piece, there would be some differences in operational awareness.

Therefore, even if Hugo was already able to successfully turn a piece of paper into an iron piece at home, he still had to adjust a bit to cast this magic when facing Professor McGonagall's request to turn a match into a needle.

And this simple Levitation Charm was completely different. Whether you were moving a piece of paper or moving a feather, the operation was basically the same, and there was no need to change it because of the different casting objects. This is why Hugo was able to release the Levitation Charm at the fastest speed in class.

In the following Herbology class, Hermione replaced Hugo as the main force for scoring points. Anyway, the practical operation of the first-year Herbology class was not very difficult. The core was some memorization content. So Hermione was quite skilled in this area.

And Potions class was when Venetto showed her skills. As a ship girl, accurately following the operating procedures taught in the textbook and by Professor Snape to brew potions was simply not something that flesh and blood creatures could compare to. At least Hugo felt that he could not do manual operations as precise as being measured by sophisticated instruments.

At the same time, because Potions class was with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, Professor Snape did not need to express his anger towards Gryffindor or favor Slytherin. In this case, he could naturally treat each student more fairly.

"Not bad, Miss Venetto." After scooping out a little of the Pimple Cure potion that Venetto had just brewed in her cauldron with a spoon, Snape nodded very slightly. "However, simply operating according to the textbook will not allow you to go too far on this path. If you read the textbook carefully and think about it, you will find that if you put a little bit of citrus leaves in the potion, it can reduce the stinging sensation produced after applying this potion to the face."

"Professor Snape is too strict." After class, Hermione complained for her roommate when walking towards the Great Hall. "You obviously operated perfectly according to the book, but he didn't give you any points. No wonder the students say he is biased—"

"Okay, okay!" Hearing Hermione's nagging, Venetto smiled and said to her roommate. "Anyway, we really learned a lot of knowledge in this kind of class, and that is the most important purpose of our coming to school. As for the professor's unsatisfactory attitude, we just need to have a normal heart and not be affected by him."
