Chapter 72 71 Gesture Casting

Chapter 72 71. Gesture casting

The classrooms where the Mudbloods attend classes are naturally separated from other students.

It's just that the location is no longer in the basement, but in a separately planned remote area on the first floor of the castle. Basically no one comes here, it is just their own classroom.

No one dared to be late for the first class. Jon and the others were already waiting in the classroom twenty minutes early.

They don't even have a class schedule, and the only place where classes take place is this. The prefect is responsible for notifying when classes will be held in the first week, and then the entire semester will follow this week's schedule.

Three minutes before class started, a dark-skinned adult witch walked in from the door.

This is the professor who usually teaches them spellcasting classes—Aurora Sinister.

Jon was somewhat familiar with this name. She should be a certain professor who appeared in the original Hogwarts. However, there was very little description of her, so Jon was not very impressed.

It's not surprising that she can still continue teaching in Hogwarts Castle. Not everyone can be so dedicated that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for a group of people who have little to do with them.

Compromise is actually the choice people make most.

"It seems that you have completed the spellcasting requirements I assigned you before the holiday very well." After entering the classroom, she first glanced at the status of all the students present, and then used the words that were not too harsh and harsh. He said in a tone of voice, "Don't forget what I told you. If you feel uncomfortable and depressed, just cast the spell a few more times. It will make you feel better."

When she said this, her voice paused, and then she sighed softly.

"No matter what kind of environment we live in, no matter how painful and tiring we are, it is much better to at least continue to live than to die silently, right?"

"Last semester, we spent a school year learning how to use gestures to control the magic in our bodies. Your progress has basically reached the standard where you can barely try to learn real magic. So starting from this semester, I I’m going to teach you the first spell - the cleaning spell. Mastering this will make your future work easier."

What she calls spellcasting is not actually the use of magic in the true sense.

According to the information Dumbledore provided to Jon, in order to prevent Voldemort from oppressing the Mudbloods too much, and by not giving them wands so that they could not learn normal magic, the magic in their bodies was suppressed and accumulated. After turning into powerful black magic creatures like Obscurus, they would arrange spellcasting classes for them.

In this class, a professor will teach them how to use hand gestures, a spell-casting method that has long been eliminated in Europe, to guide and release the magic in their bodies.

Not all ancient things are powerful. The method of learning magic, such as gesture casting, has been eliminated for thousands of years. Except for some African tribal wizards who have similar customs, almost no one around the world takes the initiative to learn it. This method of casting spells.

Because compared to wands, gesture casting is not only difficult to learn, but the magic used is also much weaker. Moreover, the pronunciation of spells is quite different from the complete and mature wand casting system in the magic world. There are only a small number of spells. It is still popular in this era.

But if the mudblood is allowed to learn this method of interpretation, the above disadvantages will become advantages.

Without the need for a wand, the magic accumulated in the bodies of these enslaved mudbloods can be discharged. There is no need to worry about students who are too talented and will be difficult to control in the future. The spells released by hand gestures are generally more effective than wands. Spellcasting is much less effective.

This perfectly fits Voldemort's needs to suppress the Mudbloods.

The original purpose of Hogwarts Castle was to provide a place for those children who were oppressed during witch hunts in the Middle Ages and did not dare to show their magical talents to learn magic and channel magic. Even now, this fundamental purpose is not Nothing has changed, but the motivation for this purpose has undergone an ironic change.

What Sinista taught the first-year students last semester was a simple spell-casting gesture. This was not a specific magic. It was created to guide the magic in the wizard's body into reality. As for the effect it would have on the surrounding people after it was guided out Any changes are completely random.

Sometimes a puddle of water appears out of thin air, sometimes it makes an extra piece of grass or the fruit of some plant appear on their hands, and sometimes it just makes their bodies cleaner.

"According to what I taught you last semester, every movement of the hand gestures for casting spells must be done accurately. The cleaning spell used for casting spells is 'spotless'. When reciting the spell, the left hand should be waved upward, and the amplitude should not be too large. Just like what I am demonstrating now, the right hand should not make any movements at the beginning, but after the left hand is raised, it should be slightly extended forward, and the amplitude should not be large, but these two movements should be completed quickly, just like me "

Sinista faced the blackboard with the cleaning spell written on it and demonstrated the entire spell casting process to them.

"Spotless."

After her spell ended, all traces of chalk on the blackboard suddenly disappeared, and the entire blackboard became neat and tidy.

The students in the audience all widened their eyes. Although they had been in this castle for a year, this was actually the first time for them to come into contact with specific spells in a real sense.

There was no wand, and the first spell they learned was just the Cleansing Spell, but every student here was passionate about learning such magic.

No matter how enslaved and oppressed they were, no one could deprive them of their identity as wizards. As long as they were wizards, no matter what bloodline they were defined as, they were qualified to learn magic.

Jon was only about two seats away from Hermione. He could see that the girl was listening to Sinistra's explanation very seriously, and she was trying to make gestures with her hands.

After confirming that this girl was Hermione, Jon had no intention of contacting her directly.

Even if she was the well-deserved heroine in the original book, it would not help Jon to do what he wanted to do in this castle, not to mention that he had just entered Hogwarts Castle, and the identity he borrowed did not obviously have a deep friendship with Hermione in the previous year. It was a bit too abrupt for him to approach her rashly.
