Chapter 112: Extra Guidance

Later in the day, Felix had mentioned the conversation with Dumbledore to Snape, and the professor had left in silence. Maybe he wasn't hopeful ... Felix watched his back and thought silently.

Time skipped to Saturday, and Felix finally got a big chunk of free time.

He took out the memory spells material copied from Lockhart's office and studied them carefully. It could be seen that Lockhart attached great importance to this information, it's filled with plausible personal notes, and part of the ink is still very new, it couldn't be more than two weeks old.

'It's not as if Lockhart hasn't done anything decent for most of the year.'

According to Felix's thoughts, perhaps Lockhart never took teaching to his heart and just mingled as much as he could. Waiting for a year to pass away, he sold a lot of books, memory magic can also have some progress, and most crucially, he can write a book like "The Professor Under the Curse" or "My Year at Hogwarts" kind of book.

This is not a challenge for Lockhart, who could even modify stories that were abandoned in the past and use them directly.

At least he saw in the manuscript of Lockhart's interview, which the trio had copied, a considerable amount of space was devoted to the crooked old wizard's experience in solving the curse of dark magic items, but this part is not placed in his "Wandering with Werewolves".

It would make perfect sense if Lockhart intended to link this part, with the Hogwarts curse, to present himself as a master who is good at solving curses.

Felix ignored the notes from the material of Lockhart and carefully read the original manuscript - although the term original manuscript is not appropriate, because the entire material was copied by Lockhart, and this is the most regrettable part for him.

But from the lines, he still felt a sense of familiarity.

What exactly is it, has he read a different book by the same author?

Felix went through thousands of magic books in his thinking room, and he got a bit of a migraine.

Late in the evening, Felix let out a soft sigh of relief and put down the material in his hands.

The harvest is great.

In addition to Lockhart's own signature magic, Obliviate (Ancient Magic Version), he had also gained some scattered and trivial tips on Occlumency.

After combining the insights about memory magic from Lockhart, the diary, Snape, and his knowledge, perhaps he could obtain a new level six magic spells after working on it for a while.

Whether it is an Occlumency or Obliviate? For Felix, it was really hard to choose.

"And with two versions of the Obliviate spell, I have a chance to sort out the simplified concept of modern magic and go back to the source to restore the ancient magic from the modern one."

It is another long-term project, but for Felix, it is a million-dollar affair.

Felix kept thinking about it, and he felt that the biggest gain from his return to Hogwarts, besides the growing number of practical ancient runes, this would be his biggest gain.

He even tapped into a number of interesting ideas from this material, which can solve the puzzles that arose from the diary.

" Lockhart is really a Treasure Wizard, unfortunately, he's going to Azkaban."

...

A little later, his own young assistant reported in a time.

Felix put the memory charm materials away and took out the two-foot thick parchments from the corner.

These were the assignments turned in by the young wizards in dueling class.

"Well ... we have to divide the work neatly, I'll give the evaluation, and you will be recording it," Felix said, he felt his assistant was somewhat sluggish in the sparring match with Harry.

But she is the most determined among the young wizards, who learned the Disarming Charm according to his " division method ".

It is necessary to give her some extra care as a benefit.

"This ..." Felix picked up the first parchment and looked at the data in the table on it, "Tsk!" Without saying anything, he handed it to Hermione.

"Professor, what should I write?" The young witch asked, holding a quill in her hand.



"Give him a question mark, an exaggerated one."

Hermione: "????"

"The data is made up." Professor Hap said shortly.

"Professor Hap, how do you figure it out?"

"His stats are excellent, but I've noticed him in dueling class, and he didn't learn the disarming charm and has problems with even the most basic wand form ... probably copied a good student' stats."

Hermione nodded as she wrote down a question mark on the parchment.

"The second one, let me see ..." Felix circled a few lines of data, "His problem is that his foundation is too poor, it is recommended to review the specific chapters of the charms textbook, which is mentioned in detail in the material. Miss Granger, mark the specific entries for me."

"Okay." She wrote down "focus on what is mentioned in the fifth article of the study material" with ease - she knew the study material of the Disarming Charm by heart.

Hermione finished writing her annotations on the parchment, then looked at the data Felix had circled, and she understood it all at once.

This student named Erebus, most of his difficulties are concentrated in the major category of 'operation standard', and slightly on other categories such as 'essential theory', 'spellcasting mentality', 'magic comprehension', etc.

Time passed, Hermione continued to follow Professor Hap's description, writing down various suggestions on the parchment, Professor Hap didn't do anything, he would only highlight the key data and mark it out.

As she has seen more and more problems, her understanding of the disarming charm is becoming clearer and clearer.

With many suggestions made by Felix, she is able to understand a good deal compared to the key data that the professor had underlined.

This is a matter of handling specifications, and this is a matter of mindset ... which is also reflected in the self-evaluation. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Felix will also give various tips, such as the spell casting mentality part, he gave the approach of " imagine a tall man wielding a broomstick to attack you, and you are using your mind to make the broomstick in his hand fly over."

She also wrote up Professor Hap's explanation - "The mindset of the disarming charm is a self-preservation mindset, to be determined to make the enemy lose the ability to hurt you."

Hermione could not resist asking: "Professor, do we have to visualize this idea to succeed?"

"When you become proficient, there is no necessity. Some elite Auror can even cast disarming charms while sleeping. But when you have yet to master the charm, this right mindset will speed up your progress."

Hermione nodded.

Halfway through the grading, Hermione yawned impishly.

"Let's continue tomorrow evening, I suggest you spend more time practicing the disarming charm tomorrow during the day, you might get some surprises," Felix said to his assistant.

The next day, evening.

"It's really improved!" Hermione said excitedly.

She didn't wait until morning, but practiced by herself when she got back last night.

It has a strange feeling, when the wand was waved, she could realize which part she did not do well.

The advice and tips she had written down in a stroke of her own quill kept popping up in her head.

During the day, she spent a lot of time practicing, and she was progressing almost at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Felix smiled, "We'll finish grading today, and I think, by that time, your understanding of the disarming charm will be excellent."



...

In the following week, time flew by and the answer parchments, which were only used in the fifth and seventh years, appeared in the ancient magic rune class of the other years one after another.

There is a buzz among the young wizards about this new teaching tool.

During one day in the great hall, Professor McGonagall asked him some information about the answer parchment, and Felix answered her cheerfully.

Professor McGonagall stayed where she is with a thoughtful face.
