The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Dong dong dong!"

"Come in!" Professor Flitwick's high-pitched voice rang in the office. When he saw the visitor, he showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "Yordle, I haven't improved the broom yet, but I already have an idea..."

"Professor, I'm not here to ask for a broom. I want you to test my learning results."

"If you don't want a broom, then...what?" Professor Flitwick raised his head in surprise and stared at Tom, "What do you want me to test you for?"

"Professor, I have studied a whole semester of courses by myself. I would like to ask you to come up with a set of questions to test the results of my self-study." Tom respectfully expressed his request to Professor Flitwick - no disrespect. Ah, if Professor Flitwick refuses to take the exam, he will have to pass the exam for half a year. He wasn't afraid of Professor Flitwick's questioning. He was very sure of it. Besides, wasn't it normal for a wizard named Tom to be a bit talented?

This was the first time Professor Flitwick had seen such an outrageous request. He looked at Tom, a little speechless: Do you think the final exam questions are so easy to solve? Every time it takes a real professor to think hard for a whole weekend before he can figure it out - it can't be too easy, and it can't be too difficult. It's best if the difficulty of the questions is differentiated, and it can't go beyond the outline. You also have to seriously consider whether there is a second choice. The answer is very difficult for the professor!

The most painful thing is that you have to write these questions yourself! Without a computer, this would be fatal. It may be difficult for modern people to understand the difficulties faced by scientists in the 20th century who did not have word.

For example, Jack Hetherington, a professor at Michigan State University, published a very influential paper in 1975, but the terrible thing is that he used a lot of "We" in the first person throughout the article, but at that time there were According to the regulations, if you use "we" as the first person, but there is only one author, then this kind of article cannot be published, and Professor Hetherington needs to replace all We's with I's. The problem is that there was no word or one-click replacement at that time, so every word in the paper was typed out by him on a typewriter...

So he had an idea and listed his Siamese cat as the second author of the paper, called it: F.D.C. Willard, and successfully published the article. So this cat has a paper in his name, and the impact of this paper is quite large. The impact factor of many people in their lifetime may not be as big as this cat.

Oh, I don’t recommend others to learn this method, because the immunologist Polly Matinger also followed the same example, and was banned for life by the irritable editor-in-chief of the magazine...

"Show me all the spells in the book." Flitwick decided to do a preliminary assessment first.

So Tom started with the Fire Curse, and showed Professor Flitwick one by one the spells mentioned in "Standard Spells: Elementary". Some of these spells were drawn by him, and some were understood by him during self-study. Others were taught by Hermione. These spells have one thing in common: they have been unable to move forward for a long time.

Flitwick's expression gradually turned to surprise. After Tom finished casting the last spell and opened a delicate little lock, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, "Excellent! Although some are not yet proficient enough, you really know everything!"

He took out a paper and a delicate small box from his drawer, "Here, let this box run around the table first."

Tom did so. Although it was a bit stumbling when running, the box did move around on its four short legs and ran around in a circle. Professor Flitwick then handed Tom another piece of parchment, which was a question from last year's final exam.

When Tom finished writing the paper, it was already an hour later. Professor Flitwick took the paper and started correcting it. He corrected quickly and handed the paper back in less than five minutes.

"Very good. Including the actual operation just now, I can barely get an 'O'!" Professor Flitwick looked very happy. Tom also successfully passed the Charms exam, but strangely, his Charms skills did not break through to level 1. He was a little confused, but he said goodbye to Professor Flitwick, but he was stopped by the professor before he left the office. Flitwick took a small notebook from his desk and let it float towards Tom.

"This is my opinion on the second-grade textbook "Standard Spells Level 2". It also contains my second-grade syllabus. Since you have mastered the first-grade knowledge, there is no need to waste time. Take a look at it in advance. ." Professor Flitwick showed a pleased smile: he hadn't seen such a talented and hard-working little wizard for a long time.

Tom took the notebook, bowed to Professor Flitwick, and left his office.

When he returned to the lounge, it was not lunch time yet, so he took a rough look at Professor Flitwick's experience. When he went to eat, his Charms breakthrough reached level 1. With this, At the same time, many magic spells broke through to level 1 at the same time.

Now, he knows the key to breakthroughs in various knowledge theories. But he didn't rush to ask other professors for breakthrough tests, because he actually wasn't that sure about the remaining subjects. And like Snape's Potions class, if you were not sure about it, you would rush in and ask for the test. That is no different from seeking death.

But the most critical reason is that most spells currently only require level 1 of Charms. He understands very well that what he should do now is to become familiar with these magic spells and practice more to become more proficient in them. After all, his current proficiency in the lighting technique, which he is most proficient in, is only 17%, which means that the success rate of wandless spellcasting is only 17%.

After Halloween, it’s November, and the Scottish Highlands in November can be said to be filled with ice cubes on a cemetery – it’s so cold. At this time, Tom will think of the Beauxbatons school. The school is located in southern France. It is not very cold in November. The beautiful girls in the school will try their best to dress themselves beautifully... …

But the cold weather cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of the little wizards - of course this enthusiasm does not refer to learning, but to Quidditch. On the first Sunday in November (November 3), Tom got his broom: Professor Flitwick had delayed nearly two months in transforming it.

Of course, if you often buy figurines and customize keyboards, you should be accustomed to this kind of operation. For example, a certain Youjia Thunder series mechanical keyboard was ordered in June but had not yet been shipped in August.

Tom took the broom, played with it, and watched the magic inventory of his system change: [Flying Broomstick - Sweeping the Seven Stars (modified)

Under the transformation of Professor Flitwick, this broom can instantly accelerate for 1 second and has a cooldown time of 1 minute]

This skill seems to be okay, but the time is too short and it is a bit useless for other positions, but it is a good change for chasers.
