Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 119 Explosives Genius's Vision for the Future! Serious Cat Girl!

"Then try using the Levitation Charm on me again!"

Professor Flitwick, unconvinced, moved another spare feather to the table in front of Seamus.

Dudley was sitting to Harry's left, with Harry between him and Seamus. Seeing that Seamus, the explosive genius, was about to try casting a spell again, he quickly nudged Harry with his arm.

Harry understood immediately and quickly cast another layer of armor charm on himself. He had been too slow to react and his ear had been blasted with black ash, but fortunately he was not injured.

Seeing this, Professor Flitwick quickly waved his wand and moved the table in front of Seamus, allowing Seamus to demonstrate in the open space in the middle.

Seamus pouted, picked up the feather and his wand, and came to the middle looking aggrieved.

He placed the new feather on the ground, paused for a moment, then waved his wand and began to chant: "Yugadim~ Leviosa!"

"boom--"

The familiar flashes of light and the familiar thunderclaps made Professor Flitwick's ears ring.

As expected, Simo was once again left looking disheveled.

"This shouldn't be happening!"

Professor Flitwick, regaining his senses, was very puzzled. "The spell was pronounced correctly, the wand was waved correctly, and with the guidance of my own will, how could it still explode? It's the Levitation Charm, not the Explosion Charm!"

“Professor Flitwick, Seamus should be one of those gifted wizards, and a gifted one at that, in a specific area!”

Dudley couldn't help but speak up, "Siemens' magical properties are too violent. Without training, he might end up using explosive spells no matter what he uses."

"what?"

Before Professor Flitwick could reply, Seamus, his face covered in soot, couldn't hold back any longer. "So from now on, I can only use the Explosion Charm?!"

"Not necessarily. If you're lucky, and you bomb it a few more times, it might successfully unleash the original spell's effect."

Dudley said very seriously, recalling Dumbledore's words to him, and then praised him thoughtfully, "Seamus, this is a good thing! Your talent for the Explosion Charm is so strong, which means that you must have an ancestor who was a master of explosions!"

Simo was stunned.

Ancestor? Explosives Master?

Even a demolition master needs to make a living! He can't just keep blowing things up all the time, can he?

Although that might be pretty cool.

"Isn't there any way to solve this problem?" Simo asked with a mournful face.

Professor Flitwick thought for a moment and replied:

“Seimor Finnigan, you need to strengthen your will and use your mental power to control your violent magic. It’s difficult and will take a long time to practice, but it may be the best way.”

"All right!"

Seamus responded with difficulty. He found it hard to accept this result. This was his first spell class, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time. But he was told that his talent had gone astray and he couldn't use so many spells. He could only use explosive spells.

How heartbreaking!

Despite his sadness, he was a qualified Gryffindor and still had the courage to overcome difficulties. He secretly resolved to train extra and conquer his own magic.

"Actually, there is another shortcut, or rather, I think it would be easier for Simo to implement."

Seeing Simo's tearful face, Dali couldn't bear it. Considering they shared a dormitory, he prepared to share the solution he had just come up with.

Upon hearing this, Simon turned his hopeful gaze to Dudley, and Professor Flitwick also looked forward to Dudley's method.

Dudley paused for a moment and said, "Since Seamus is exceptionally talented in explosions, he can make good use of this talent and use the power of the Explosion Charm to simulate the effects of other spells."

For example, if you can't use the Levitation Charm, you can control the power of the explosion by using the Explosion Charm to create miniature, continuous explosions, levitating the feathers without damaging them.

As Dudley spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the feather he had never used.

The next second, a series of slight popping sounds occurred, and extremely subtle chain explosions occurred around the feather, abruptly blasting the feather into the air.

"What exquisite manipulation of magic!" Professor Flitwick couldn't help but exclaim.

As Simo watched this scene, his eyes lit up. He had a feeling that controlling the force of the explosion was much simpler than forcibly taming the violent magic to do other things.

"Although this method still cannot simulate the effects of many spells, it is still quite good as a transitional means before Seamus tames his magic."

Dudley demonstrated a new approach to Seamus, and the much-discussed Charms lesson came to an end.

Strictly speaking, this lesson marked the first time that Dali genuinely and formally fulfilled his duties as a teaching assistant.

In the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Dudley's demonstration of defending against the Red Hat was malicious; it was more of a test for Ecclesia.

After the Charms class, Professor Flitwick volunteered to take the task of delivering the bison carcass to the kitchen on the first basement floor of the castle. He happened to be in the kitchen and wanted the house-elves to cook a special meal for him.

He missed breakfast that morning because he went to find Snape to get the Buffet stimulant, and he came to the first class on an empty stomach, which was quite difficult.

Dudley, Harry, and the other Gryffindor freshmen were heading to the Transfiguration classroom on the first floor of the castle to learn Transfiguration from Professor McGonagall.

With Dudley leading the way, the moving staircases in the castle were exceptionally obedient, and there was absolutely no risk of getting lost.

The Gryffindor students quickly arrived at the Transfiguration classroom and saw the grey tabby cat sitting on the lectern.

This cat has very unique markings; the markings around its eyes look like it's wearing glasses, making it clearly unusual.

“Cousin, is that also an Animagus? Was it Professor McGonagall transformed? I saw the wand on the lectern.”

Unlike the Harry in the original story, Harry, who had personally taken revenge on Pettigrew, had a certain understanding of the Animagus and would no longer treat the catgirl as an ordinary cat.

“That’s right, Harry. When a wizard transforms into his Animagus form, he can change his clothes and some accessories along with him, but he cannot change his wand with him.”

The cat's markings around its eyes were exactly the same as the outline of Professor McGonagall's usual glasses; it was clearly Professor McGonagall.

Dudley was very certain; his confidence stemmed from both his understanding of the original story's plot and his knowledge of Animagus.

"Sharp observation skills and a wealth of knowledge! Based on Harry Potter's performance, I'm giving Gryffindor an extra five points!"

The tabby cat on the lectern leaped up and transformed back into Professor McGonagall, pacing over to Dudley and Harry as she spoke solemnly.

This upright headmaster of Gryphon School, who was always fair in awarding points, only added five points to the Animagus transformation details, a profound knowledge that even senior students might not be familiar with.

Dudley made no comment and was about to find a seat nearby with Harry.

Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall extended an invitation to him directly:

“Dr. Dursley, your Transfiguration skills are excellent, and I believe everyone can see that. Therefore, I hope you can take on the responsibility of teaching assistant for this Transfiguration class and help me with the teaching.”
