In the following days, the school has been discussing the once cool and powerful Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
"Hey, have you taken Professor Baker's class?"
"Yes, I have... have you noticed it?"
"Yes, many people have noticed that Professor Baker seems to have become particularly listless, speaking slowly and with a much more monotonous tone!"
"Yes, yes, that's right! And he used to be a great lecturer. In addition to the original knowledge points, he would also teach a lot of practical tips, and would also intersperse some of his own adventure stories, the kind that made people not want to leave class. But recently he can only monotonously talk about the knowledge in the textbook. Although it is also quite detailed, it is not as interesting as before!"
"Alas, how can a good professor become like this after just ten days of not seeing him... How about we go visit him, maybe desserts and milk tea can cheer him up again?"
"Many people have already visited him, and even Vice-Principal Professor McGonagall has specifically looked for him, but it's still useless..."
"Are you talking about Professor Baker? I told you that my friend in Gryffindor gave me the inside information, saying that Professor Snape coveted the position of Defense Professor and was jealous of Professor Baker, so he secretly drugged his food!"
"Huh? What did I hear was that Professor Binns was tired of teaching History of Magic and planned to try a new course, so he secretly took over Professor Baker's body?"
"I also heard that the curse cast by the You-Know-Who is gradually taking effect... What does 'taking over' mean?"
Unfortunately, no matter how exciting the gossip and rumors flying around outside were, they could not affect Avada and Baron who were studying and practicing hard in the Room of Requirement at this moment.
In the Room of Requirement, the "hiding room" had undergone a major transformation: a large amount of debris was swept to the corners, or arranged in key positions as camouflage or cover. There was a large open space in the center of the house, and Avada and Baron were standing there, holding up their wands that emitted strange light and chanting complicated and lengthy spells.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally put down their wands at the same time, and after a long sigh, they felt a sense of fatigue surge into their heads.
"Very good."
The black crystal ball carrying Professor Baker's soul was placed in a pile of miscellaneous items, looking inconspicuous: "In this way, the second part of the whole magic is completed."
"You are learning faster than I expected. At this rate, the magic arrangement will be completed by mid-February."
"Take a break, and then start today's class."
"Merlin, I feel like my brain is about to explode..."
Baron sat on the ground, covering his head, and lamented in pain. Although his level was almost unmatched in the first grade, and ordinary schoolwork could hardly bring him learning pressure, the content that Professor Baker needed them to master was too complicated and too difficult.
The magic of extracting consciousness alone was divided into seven steps, and the knowledge of each step required him and Avada to spend several days to learn, and then spend more time to arrange it. In addition, there are battle strategies needed to besiege the fake Baker, as well as traps, potions, curses and other external objects, plus their own combat training..
Don't forget, they have to go to class during the day and have homework at night!
And Avada's situation is even worse than Baron. Without real demonstrations, relying purely on theoretical learning, his magic senses are almost useless, and even if his talent has been optimized, there is still a certain gap compared to Baron. Therefore, the excessive study pressure has caused him to almost never return to the dormitory sober in the past few days, and he basically loses consciousness the moment the back of his head touches the pillow.
Xia Bi, Summers, Stebbins and others have also cared about him and advised him not to put too much pressure on himself. And Avada couldn't tell them the truth directly, so he could only increase his efforts to achieve the goal as soon as possible, so that he could get out of this super-high-intensity training to dispel their worries, but in the end he made himself more haggard.
And during the training, he gradually came up with an interesting idea: Wouldn't Voldemort possess Quirrell and sneak into Hogwarts next year?
I wonder if Professor Baker's magic would work on him?
About ten minutes later, Professor Baker called the two of them up.
"Today we are going to learn the Disillusionment Charm. This spell plays a very important role in the plan, whether it is for obtaining magical materials or in the final battle, so you must master it well." "
Don't worry, the Disillusionment Charm is much simpler than the magic you have learned before. The main reason why few people have mastered it is that its effect is too special, which has led to the control of the Ministry of Magic. Only Aurors or other special professions are qualified to learn it..."
Professor Baker's eloquent voice came from the crystal ball: "The Disillusionment Charm is not difficult to master, probably only at the level of third or fourth grade. But the real difficulty lies in mastering it. Since the principle of the Disillusionment Charm is to change the color of the body surface to blend into the surrounding environment, a poorly cast Disillusionment Charm will only turn you into a bunch of rough blocks of color, which may have a counterproductive effect in some cases..."
"Then the professor,"
Avada raised his hand and asked the question that he had been curious about since reading the original book: "If the Disillusionment Charm can only change the color of the body, then how does it achieve complete invisibility?
"For example, if I stand in the center of a room with a black floor and white walls, and then use the Disillusionment Charm, what will I look like? If I turn white and blend into the wall, wouldn't I become extremely conspicuous from a bird's-eye view?"
Baron, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then looked at Professor Baker with a puzzled look on his face.
"Very sharp, you noticed the key to the problem right away!
Professor Baker's voice of appreciation came: "So in addition to practicing the spell itself, mastering its usage skills is also the top priority of training."
"Users of the Disillusionment Spell usually change their positions to ensure invisibility to the greatest extent, such as leaning against the wall, crawling, and trying not to be exposed to multiple perspectives. At the same time, since the Disillusionment Spell can only maintain visual invisibility, additional practice is required to eliminate odors, hide, sneak, etc...." "
Originally, I was worried that you would feel uncomfortable after hearing this training, so I wanted to hide it for a while."
"Is there no magic that can make you completely invisible all of a sudden?" Even Baron couldn't help asking desperately.
"Don't think about it, there is no. Unless you have an invisibility cloak made of invisible animal fur. "
Professor Baker's tone revealed a bit of helplessness: "And the invisibility principle of the invisible beast is still a mystery. If you can crack it and use it to develop a completely invisible magic, then the Department of Mysteries and the Auror Office will fight for you."
"So, don't think about those messy things, calm down and train well. "
Avada: ...
If he is given an invisible beast, he can develop that damn invisibility magic within a few days, and then scare Professor Baker into frosted material.
Unfortunately, it can't be given. Even though he has a good relationship with Rolf Scamander in the fourth grade, he can't ask him to steal one from Newt and bring it to school.
So he had to put this lofty ideal behind him for the time being, and waved the wand with Baron bitterly.
