Chapter 730： Weak students

"well done."

Professor McGonagall nodded and finally asked the students to stop first. Seeing the students put their hands on their knees and breathlessly panting, she praised her without hesitation.

"Neville's protective spell just used is very good and needs to be maintained. When you can use that spell anytime, anywhere, you can protect yourself the first time you are attacked and look for opportunities to counterattack. "

She emphasized, "The real battle is not standing on a duel stage and throwing spells at each other. Using spells while running is the basic training you need to complete. Whether it is attack or defense spells, you all need to It's handy in this unfavorable situation."

She waved a group of Newfoundland hounds and gathered around her.

Those terrible hounds squatted obediently around Professor McGonagall, looking at the students with grinning teeth, and scared the students back again and again.

Professor McGonagall touched the heads of the Newfoundland Hounds and said calmly, "Transfiguration is very common in combat."

Her tone was serious, "As you have just seen, a group of flexible and fierce hunting dogs is enough to make a group of wizards who have not been trained in combat rush."

"If we could fight back with the spell, things would be better." Dean Thomas whispered.

Not all the students were convinced by the scene where the hounds were just passively chasing.

"That's right." Professor McGonagall said dismissively, "Just being chased won't convince you, so Thomas, then you can try to fight back with a spell."

"Really?"

Dean Thomas said eagerly. He took out his wand with a look of anticipation. The process of being chased just now has caused him to accumulate a lot of resentment.

"The others are scattered."

Professor McGonagall directed the students to disperse, giving a wide field to Thomas and the hounds.

"Thomas, you can shoot first."

Professor McGonagall and his classmates stood aside, quietly watching the battle between Dean Thomas and the hounds.

"Go on, Dean, don't lose to a bunch of hounds."

"It's just a few hounds. You are a powerful wizard. You are in the fifth grade."

"We won't lose to a few hounds."

The students of Gryffindor are all cheering for Dean Thomas.

Dean was excited by the classmates' cheering, and he took a deep breath of excitement. He pointed at the hunting dogs with his magic wand, and he was about to use his best spell to attack the hunting dogs.

What kind of spell should he use, he began to think in his head.

Then, he was stunned.

When Dean faced these hounds alone, he suddenly realized that fighting a group of hounds was not as easy as he thought.

He recalled the spells he knew, whether it was an exorcism, a sleeping spell, a floating spell, a flame spell, a frost spell...

He couldn't find a spell that could attack all the hounds at the same time.

"Why didn't Dean take the shot?"

There was no battle in anticipation, and the silent scene made the students very uncomfortable.

"What about him?"

Seeing Dean Thomas' silence, the students' excitement also sank.

"Armor bodyguard!"

Dean couldn't find a way to solve all the hounds at once. At the urging of the students, he finally used the first spell, the Iron Armor Curse.

With the use of the iron armor curse, the hounds were no longer quietly squatting on the ground, waiting for Dean's attack.

The hounds were running fast, they were running fast around Dean, in circles.

With a layer of iron armor curse on him, Dean finally gained some confidence. He summoned the flame and threw it at the hound.

"Wise choice."

Seeing Dean Thomas' choice of curse, George nodded slightly. Ordinary wizards lack a large-scale destruction spell, facing multiple enemies, the first thing they need to use is always a protection spell.

However, what an iron armor curse can do is to allow the wizard to make more mistakes.

These wizards who have been traditionally educated by Hogwarts will always be vulnerable when they face the enemy without actual combat.

The battle was not as the students imagined, in their hearts at the beginning. They are powerful wizards, and they hold many spells.

One point of their wand is frost and flame.

One thought of their spell is to attack and destroy.

They are such a powerful, so proud wizard, dealing with a few hunting dogs, it is not a game to catch them.

They never imagined how embarrassed and vulnerable they would be when they really met their opponents.

The hounds circled Dean Thomas, rushing into the gap between his attacks time and time again, bumping Dean Thomas into a bump.

The attacks that Dean summoned, those flames, and those frost, were easily avoided by the hounds.

Those hounds teased the young wizard like a cunning old cat teasing a mouse.

Their running their rampages made Dean Thomas exhausted.

When Dean's curse was thrown, the cunning hound immediately rushed away. When he attacked, the hounds immediately swarmed up.

He was simply caught in a sea of ​​hounds, and the attacks from all directions made him dizzy and dazzled. Under the hustle and bustle, those spells frequently fell in the empty space.

"flutter!"

With a flutter, Dean has been thrown to the ground by the hound, and the battle is over.

The battle didn't last long, and within a few minutes, Dean's armor body was breached by the hounds.

Under the siege of the hounds, it was even difficult for him to take his own steps.

Without the protection of the protective spell, the ordinary wizard is not much stronger than the Muggle.

"Does anyone else want to try it?"

Professor McGonagall ignored Dean, who was lying on the ground and never got up.

She looked at the other students and continued to ask. "Anyone still unconvinced?"

"I want to try."

Seamus Finnigan took out his wand and walked forward. In the battle just now, he came up with a different method, and he planned to try it.

Neville stepped forward and helped Dean Thomas who was lying on the ground.

From Dean Thomas's tightly bitten lower lip and red eyes, it could be seen that the blow just hit him a lot, and he certainly did not expect that he would lose to a group of hounds.

Seamus Finnigan also learned from Dean, adding protection from the Iron Armor Curse at the beginning.

When the group of hounds ran fast around him, he didn't immediately use the attacking spell.

He touched the ground with his magic wand, and a white light spread across his body, and he summoned a layer of ice around him.

The other students suddenly realized that they had already reacted.
