Revisiting Harry Potter -- Hogwarts Wind and Wings

chapter 010 Magic Perception, Weekend Morning

"Professor." Cedric stood up, "Excuse me, you just said 'abandon the appearance of the body', does it mean that what Scott painted is actually your magic power?"

Professor Flitwick pointed at Scott with a smile, "Why don't we let Mr. Trollope answer this question himself?"

Seeing Professor Flitwick's gesture, Scott also stood up and said, "That's right, just like Professor Flitwick said, everyone's magic power is different."

He turned to look at Cedric.

"To be precise, this painting is a painting of my feelings about Professor Flitwick's magic power after I perceive his magic power."

"Is that what you saw?" Cedric asked him.

Scott shook his head, "I didn't really see it, it was a perception, but it was very clear. I just recorded my feelings in the form of paintings."

"Yes, magic perception!"

said Professor Flitwick sharply.

"Mr. Trollope has done what most grown-up wizards can't!

Not only did he clearly perceive my magic power, but he also used unprecedented creativity to accurately express his feelings to others through painting!

Although this is a Muggle oil painting, I think the meaning in it is more valuable than a moving magic portrait! "

"Professor." Cedric asked again, "You mean, not everyone can do this through in-depth study of magic?"

"Yes, it requires a gift for perception."

Professor Flitwick doesn't deny it.

He further explained: "Basically everyone can perceive magic power, but some people can only perceive it vaguely, while some people can clearly perceive the information contained in the wizard's magic power..."

"Is that why you always know who's approaching you?" Roger whispered to Scott.

Scott nodded, and he said to Roger and Milton: "I think Milton has this talent too."

Roger agreed. "Yes, Milton, your senses have always been very keen."

"Compared to Scott, it's still far behind."

Milton is in a good mood at the moment, and it seems that he has forgotten the "failure" of last night.

He even joked about himself, "Besides, most people would only say that my personality is too sensitive."

At this time, it's time for the official class.

Professor Flitwick immediately ended the topic on magic perception and asked everyone to open their textbooks.

"Please read the first chapter of the book, what we are going to learn today is the Flying Curse..."

...

Scott doesn't know if other people have discovered that he can roughly judge a person's character and inner character by sensing magic.

This can actually be seen from Milton's interpretation of the painting.

This is why he thought Jacob Kent was not lying before.

At the same time, he was also thinking that in the "original book", Tom Riddle, who had not yet become Voldemort, was loved by all the teachers at school, but Dumbledore still did not believe him, probably because his magical performance could not convince Dumbledore.

...

When the noon sun penetrated the glass windows of the classroom and hit everyone, the morning spell class ended.

"Thank you for the gift, Scott. Now, I'm going to show the other professors this student's work!"

After speaking to Scott alone, Flitwick waved his wand to let the painting float behind him, and left the classroom with his head held high.

"Oh! Now you're going to be famous, Scott." Roger patted Scott on the shoulder, signaling him to pay attention to the eyes of the students around him.

"This is very good. Scott has such a talent and needs to show it." Milton was happy for Scott.

Ravenclaw's classmates also came over to congratulate Scott.

"Congratulations, Scott."

"Nice job, Scott."

Usually, Ravenclaw students admire those who go further, no matter what.

They knew very well that Scott's ability to do that wasn't something that could be summed up in a sentence of talent.

Talent also needs to accumulate enough knowledge and experience to turn into definite strength.

"Thank you." Scott thanked calmly.

"Scott, you did something unexpected again."

Cedric of Hufflepuff also approached, smiling.

Scott and he are both members of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club, and they have a good relationship.

The two belong to different academies, and they also have high talents in transfiguration. They are both friends and competitors.

Cedric also patted Scott on the shoulder, "Don't leave our peers too far away."

"I'm not going to stop myself, Cedric," Scott said with a smile.

Cedric sighed, "Looks like I need to work harder."

...

Four days passed in a flash.

On Sunday, Roger woke up everyone in the dormitory early in the morning.

"What's the matter, Roger."

Scott leaned against the pillow, not wanting to move, but opened his eyes and looked at Roger.

At this moment, Roger has put on a full set of Quidditch uniforms and protective gear, and is holding his broomstick in his hand.

"Let's go, go to the stadium with me and see if Ravenclaw will have some decent rookies this year." Roger said enthusiastically to the three roommates.

"Please..." Milton closed his eyes and said vaguely, "I remember that the Quidditch team selection was on the second weekend?"

Roger said: "Captain Bruce decided to inspect the rookies who intend to participate in the team selection one week in advance and give them some guidance. He hopes that the rookies will perform better in the selection next week."

Eddie, who had sat up just now, lay down on the bed again with a bang, "Just because of this? What does this have to do with us!"

"Come on, friends! You are all Ravenclaws!" Roger raised his voice. "I think you need to know more about our academy team."

Scott felt that Roger's words were completely illogical, so he picked up a pillow and threw it at Roger.

"We're not going!"

...

But Scott and the others finally came to the Quidditch pitch and sat in the audience.

"Merlin! Roger is so annoying! He murdered our sleep!"

Eddie grumbled as he chewed the sandwich.

Milton leaned back on his seat with blank eyes, looking up at the sky that was still covered with morning mist.

Scott also took a piece of bread and ate it slowly, neither of them responded to Eddie's meaning.

But Eddie didn't take it seriously, and he seemed to be having a good time talking by himself.

"There was a clash between the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams here yesterday morning over the pitch."

He showed Scott and Milton what he had learned.

"Malfoy, a second-year Slytherin, became their new Seeker, because his father Malfoy sponsored the latest broomstick for the whole team, the Nimbus 2001!"

Seeing that Scott and Milton never responded, he talked about the Ravenclaw Quidditch team in front of him.

"If you ask me, the most high-profile new Quidditch star in Ravenclaw this year is Qiu Zhang in the third grade. It's a pity that she wants to become a Seeker, and our Seekers will not graduate until next year. Maybe Will she be the backup Seeker for a while?"
