Chapter 0041 Halloween Eve and Buffalo Spell
_____________________________________________________________
While Ye Ting was trying to learn ancient rune text in order to make his own flying broom with his own hands, news came from Gryffindor: Harry Potter got a Nimbus 2000 broom.
This flying broom is the latest product of the famous European broom company: the Nimbus Racing Broom, which basically represented the highest level of flying brooms.
The mainstream brooms currently used by the Quidditch teams of the four Hogwarts houses were the old-fashioned Cleansweep Five. Only a few people were able to use the Cleansweep Six, but even the Cleansweep Six could not compete with the Nimbus 2000 in terms of performance.
After hearing this news, Roger came to see Ye Ting, and he offered to apply for crowdfunding in the Ravenclaw house to buy a Nimbus 2000 for Ye Ting as well, but Ye Ting refused.
"Quidditch is not a sport that can only rely on the performance of a broom." Ye Ting said disdainfully, "Even if I were given a Comet 260, I could beat any opponent."
He said so, but in reality, he just felt it was a waste to buy a Nimbus 2000. Within this semester he would be able to make his own broom, and the Nimbus 2000 he would buy could only eat its dust later.
...
...
Before he knew it, Ye Ting has been living in Hogwarts for two months.
After two months of learning and life in the castle, with friends around - especially Hermione, Cho Chang, and Penelope, made him more and more treat Hogwarts as his home.
In the first 10 years of this life, his life in the Wools orphanage was certainly not bad, but as a human being, the emptiness of his previous life and the loneliness of living among younger children for a long time made his heart always out of tune with this world.
Until that day, he met Dumbledore and learned the reality of the world, and then came to Hogwarts. The magical magic and the presence of Hermione, Harry, Cho Chang, these "acquaintances" only made him feel a greater enthusiasm for life and some subtle warmth.
Although he still looks down on these people and treats them as NPCs with a lofty attitude from time to time in his heart, there are still people who he really cares about, and can make him take them seriously.
For the teachers at Hogwarts, having a student like Ye Ting is both a blessing and a pain.
No matter what the course is, he can master what he can learn in the class ahead of time.
In fact, today, Ye Ting's learning progress has now reached the level of the third grade. This made the teachers feel a little ashamed - except for Professor Snape - because he felt that he could not teach anything to Ye Ting, and that all the knowledge was mastered by himself already.
Since he had completely learned the first-year curriculum, all the homework was a piece of cake for him.
On the night homework was assigned for each class, Ye Ting would give the answers to the homework, which were often copied by his three housemates for reference and then spread throughout Hogwarts the next day.
This led to a considerable period of time when Hogwarts professors were faced with a large pile of highly similar assignments with exactly the right answers every week.
But this happy plagiarism didn't last long, after figuring out the situation from some Slytherins who hated Ye Ting, all professors, starting with Professor Snape, exempted Ye Ting from doing homework, a special treatment that left the first years at Hogwarts wailing - not out of jealousy, but because they no longer had a way to get such perfect answers again.
Of course, Ye Ting had a lot of stories that happened in these two months. In short, without realizing it, the first Hogwarts holiday, Halloween, is coming.
On Halloween eve, when Ye Ting woke up early in the morning, he could smell the sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin floating in the corridor.
This morning, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor attended Professor Flitwick's charms class.
In this class, Professor Flitwick announced that they are ready to start making objects levitate.
In the previous class, ever since the students saw Professor Flitwick controlling Neville's toad flying around in the classroom, they had been eager to learn this magic.
Professor Flitwick divided the class into groups of two and began teaching.
Ye Ting is self-studying as usual. The book he is currently reading is "Magic Symbols", he hadn't finished learning "Advanced Rune Translation". Books such as "Magic Symbols", "Magic Dictionary", and "The List of Magic Words and Sounds" are no longer difficult for him though.
As for Hermione, as another top student recognized by the professors, she was assigned to practice alone as usual. Though the teachers all knew that her so-called practice alone was to practice with Ye Ting.
"Okay, don't forget that subtle wrist movement we've been training for!" Professor Flitwick shrilled as he stood over his pile of books as usual. "Swish and flick, remember, swish and flick. It's also very important to say the exact incantation - never forget the wizard Buffalo who mispronounced 'f' for 's' and found himself lying on the floor with a bison standing on top of him. "
A burst of laughter erupted from the students and the classroom was filled with an air of joy.
Suddenly, a huge buffalo appeared out of nowhere in the classroom, startling the young wizards, who ran away and then started to watch the smelly big buffalo.
