The Beginning Of Seamus's Explosive Career
"Scourgify!"
As soon as he left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Ethan cast a cleaning spell on himself. Having stayed in the room full of garlic for so long, it felt like he had been marinated. This not only cleaned the surface stains, but also removed the smell. After casting a spell on a few roommates and familiar little wizards, Ethan left.
It was time for the end of class, so he could go back to the dormitory to change clothes or find seniors to cast spells. Next was the spell class, which was on the third floor of Hogwarts.
The first thing that caught his eye when he entered the spell class classroom was the front window, where a lot of books were stacked in a staircase shape. As for the reason, those who understood it all knew it.
The content of this class was the Illumination Spell. After Professor Flitwick explained and introduced it on the desk, he let the little wizards practice it by themselves. This is the most basic spell. It can be said that as long as it isn't a squib, it can be quickly mastered. Those who want to experiment with magic after getting the textbooks often choose the Illumination Spell first.
With the "fluorescent flickering" coming and going, the classroom was like a lamp with different brightness, and some of them were unstable and flickered. Of course, there were also some who had no reaction at all. After all, not every little wizard would look at the textbook in advance, or have talent. Faced with this situation, it was not easy for Professor Flitwick to add points. Could it be that all four houses would add points? After all, including Hufflepuff, there were some who succeeded in one try, and Ravenclaw had the most. This was considered to give Professor Flitwick some face.
"Think about what I just said, don't panic, keep steady..." Professor Flitwick ran back and forth with his short legs below, reminding the little wizards one by one. Thanks to his reminder, more and more little wizards were able to successfully release the complete lighting spell. Ethan also knew why Professor Flitwick had such a good reputation in Hogwarts. He was serious, responsible, and patient. He would not be as cold-faced as Professor McGonagall, and he would not be like Snape who seemed to owe him money.
"Read the spell correctly and articulate it clearly. Don't panic. Try again!" Ethan saw Professor Flitwick stop in front of a little Gryffindor wizard. Upon closer inspection, it was Seamus. Ethan immediately felt that something bad was going to happen. If this guy had a panel, he would definitely see that he had the talent "Explosion Mastery". There was a chance of explosion when using any spell, and the power of the explosion spell was increased when using it.
"Lumos!" Seamus took a deep breath and raised the wand in his hand.
"It's working. It's working!" Neville, who was sitting in front of Seamus, shouted excitedly. The two of them were the type of brothers who had no reaction just now. Now that Seamus has succeeded, will he be the next one?
"Don't get excited, control your magic, and try harder!" Professor Flitwick warned immediately when he saw that the magic was about to go out. Seamus nodded seriously and raised the wand in his hand. In an instant, the light on the wand lit up quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it was a five-watt bulb at the beginning, it would have soared to at least eighty now.
Ethan immediately felt bad. "Close your eyes!" He shouted to the little eagles around him, and they immediately closed their eyes, turned around, and lowered their heads in one go. Just after Ethan made the move, the dazzling light enveloped the entire classroom, and the roar of the explosion continued to echo in the classroom. Although the noise and flash brought by this sudden explosion did not last long, the effect was indeed very impressive.
At least now the whole classroom was in chaos, with screaming and pushing little wizards everywhere. When Professor Flitwick was teaching Seamus just now, many students were watching their situation, wanting to learn some experience from it, so when the strong light burst out, they were directly covered in their faces and their eyes were blinded.
Although the other little wizards were better, they also felt extremely uncomfortable in their eyes and ears in the strong light and explosion. In the center of the explosion, several little wizards from Gryffindor had black faces and their hair curled up like they were burned by fire.
Fortunately, Professor Flitwick could only stand under the table because of his height and was not affected by the explosion, but he was also blinded by the strong light and his ears were temporarily deaf.
"What happened?" Terry, whose vision was a little blurred, had a blank face and didn't know what happened. He was just chatting with Gene. When he heard Ethan shouting to close his eyes, he saw Gene close his eyes, and he also followed him urgently.
"Seamus Finnigan's magic exploded." Ethan explained helplessly. This was completely a low-profile version of the flash bomb. If the noise was harsher and the flash was stronger, it would be more authentic. After all, flash bombs can not only blind people but also make people nearby dizzy.
"Everyone, sit down in your seats, don't panic, you will recover soon." Professor Flitwick used magic to float himself in the air, and then used the amplification spell to loudly project the sound to the entire classroom. He knew deeply what the consequences would be if the eyes could not see and there was chaos. There had been a teaching accident, and he couldn't expand this accident. As a duel champion, he really lost face this time. He didn't react. I am really old.
Ethan could clearly see that Professor Flitwick closed his eyes tightly, and there were two lines of tears falling from the corners of his eyes. Obviously, he was not having a good time at the moment. Seeing this, Ethan could only go with a few classmates who listened to Ethan in time and some lucky ones to comfort the panicked students, press those who were running around in their seats, and help those who fell up.
Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were the worst hit this time. Cassandra was fine, but Hermione was lying on the table, obviously, she was hit. After almost ten minutes, the sequelae of the super-strong lighting spell slowly subsided, and everyone regained some sight.
After such an accident, Professor Flitwick naturally couldn't continue teaching and could only let the students take a break. And remember the name of Seamus Finnigan deeply.
Only Ethan knew that this was just the beginning of Seamus' explosive career. During the Battle of Hogwarts, facing the invasion of the Death Eaters, Neville wanted to blow up the bridge, and Professor McGonagall asked him to discuss it with Seamus Finnigan.
It can be seen from this that in his seven years at Hogwarts, how many explosions Seamus caused in total, and what a deep impression he left on these professors.
