Chapter 148: A Few Matters

As the students left the classroom in small groups, they tirelessly discussed the intriguing and fascinating experience they had just undergone.

For instance, a pair of Ravenclaw girls—

"To be honest, at first, I really wanted to leave. It was so gloomy there. But now, I'm starting to miss it."

"Me too! That little skull was so adorable!"

"...When's the next class on magical literature?"

"Let me check... It's on Friday."

"Do we really have to wait that long?"

"Well, I actually think we're quite lucky. Just sixth-year students get practical lessons..."

"Haha, who made us have an abundance of time and knowledge? I must tell students from other years!"

Their voices gradually faded away.

Percy and Penelope, avoiding the crowd, had mixed expressions on their faces as their once-hidden romance was now exposed. Especially Percy, who kept furrowing his brows.

"If it's discovered, then it's discovered. What's the big deal?" Penelope said, looking at him.

"Penelope, with three younger brothers and a sister at school, any gossip spreads to our parents' ears," Percy said, "Especially Fred and George, they'd be more than happy to assist with this."

Percy seemed quite vexed. While he did write letters of complaint often, he believed they were justified, like the recent one, "Mom, Fred and George were using fans to make the school ghosts parade. They lost fifty points each and got three weeks of detention..."

He could imagine how the twin brothers would grin and speak to him—

"Oh, Percy~ Our model student has finally lightened up~"

"We must inform Mum of this good news!"

"And then there's Bill and Charlie, you've surpassed them."

"How could we forget little Ron and Ginny?"

Penelope wore an expression of shock and stammered, "Your... your parents will know?"

"The spell is quite simple, even younger students can learn it..."

At this point, Harry and Ron looked at Hermione; she had used this spell to petrify Neville back in their first year.

"Of course, personally, its effect is not as immediate as Stupefy, nor is its power as strong. For instance, at your level, if you point your wand at me and cast this spell, I might just stiffen slightly. However... it's sufficient for handling school troubles. Completely adequate."

Felix and Snape collaborated to conjure hundreds of cushions in the Great Hall, ensuring the students' safety while practicing.

"Ron! You're supposed to fall onto the cushion!" Hermione scolded Ron, who landed rigidly on the floor.

After the spell wore off, Ron grimaced, "Easy for you to say. Can you adjust your landing when you're hit?"

Hermione nervously changed the topic.

Felix and Snape watched the young wizards practice, discussing with each other.

"Tsk tsk, even with such a simple spell, half of the students haven't mastered it," Snape muttered, radiating a sense of low pressure.

"But they're improving quickly, aren't they? Seeing clumsy students excel under your guidance, Severus, doesn't that give you a sense of accomplishment?"

Snape shot him a harsh glare.

Felix counted on his fingers, "Disarming, Protego, Silencio, Petrificus Totalus. Berby also taught them the heightened senses charm and the banishing charm in Dark Arts Defense class."

"Combined with the prank spells they already know, that's quite a repertoire."

Snape's gaze rested on him, "Are you suggesting—"

"Emphasizing other aspects, like footwork and situational assessment, especially real combat."

"I have no objections, Felix." Snape's voice was faint, his expression elusive.
