Chapter 179: Harry's Special Training
"Potter, wake up! Potter..."
Harry slowly opened his eyes, the light from the torches was a bit dazzling, making Professor Harp's silhouette somewhat blurry.
For a moment, his expression was quite bewildered.
He got up from the ground, adjusted his glasses, "What happened to me?"
"Exhaustion combined with fatigue, a perfectly normal phenomenon," Felix Harp looked at him and said, "Let's stop here for today. We'll head up and have something to eat, and I'll also work on outlining your training plan."
Harry felt incredibly uncomfortable, limbs weak, and body feeling light.
He followed Felix's footsteps unsteadily as they climbed the stairs, his stomach churning.
It wasn't until he downed a large glass of juice and finished two pastries that he felt like he had come back to life, with the mood to ponder some questions.
"Professor, you said this phenomenon is normal, have you experienced something similar too? And you mentioned to me that the period after a magical outburst is very suitable for practicing spells, based on your personal experience..."
Harry's speech slowed down, and he thought of how Hermione had expressed sympathy to Professor Harp in a very emotional way.
The context was the release of the Dueling Club news, and the discussions were all centered around the word "duel." Professor Harp's 'glorious experiences' were once again brought up and talked about extensively. The boys couldn't help but wish they could swap places with him, while the young witches either looked up to him in admiration or sympathized with the unfair treatment he received during his school years.
And Hermione was one of them.
At the time, Harry couldn't quite understand her perspective, but now, he suddenly had a bit of an insight.
In response to his question, Felix Harp succinctly said, "Indeed..."
Indeed, what? As Harry lay in his own bed, he continued to contemplate this question.
Early the next morning, Harry was awakened by Dobby's knocking on his door. He opened the door drowsily, and the house-elf respectfully handed him toiletries, with Professor Harp standing beside him.
"Hurry up, Potter, we have a heavy task today."
Harry experienced a novel feeling, a similar sensation to when he was a guest at the Burrow and was woken up by Mrs. Weasley. Few adults intervened in his life, reminding him of brushing his teeth, apart from the angry roars of the Dursleys.
The entire morning, they stayed in the basement, and Harry kept casting Disarming Charms, as Professor Harp put it, "We need to maximize your efficiency. You'll find that during your student years, being adept at a single spell can take you far."
He felt like he was going to throw up, but Professor Harp patiently pointed out his mistakes and spent a considerable amount of time explaining advanced techniques for the spell.
"Imagine yourself as a duelist, or a fledgling auror. Your magic is very active, you can sense it, manipulate it, control it, and let the magic flow out all at once," Felix said, and then cast a spell of heightened sensation on Harry.
"At the same time, it's a good opportunity to learn nonverbal spellcasting while learning the Disarming Charm."
"And there's the magical theory part. I'll only explain what's most relevant to the Disarming Charm. It might not be useful for learning other spells, but we need to expedite the process. I want to see how far you can go."
Harry felt as if he had consumed ten strawberry ice creams in a row, a sense of satisfaction overflowing from head to toe. But Professor Harp quickly poured a bucket of cold water on his enthusiasm—
"There's only this one spell, Potter. If you want to delve deeper into the realm of dueling, you should consider establishing your personal fighting style."
"Fighting style?"
"Such as which spell to make your core—"
"Disarming Charm!" Harry blurted out without hesitation.
"...Don't make a hasty decision. Besides that, there are complementary spell systems. For instance, which spells you use for defense, which for offense; which are for restraining opponents, and which are for handling tricky situations. You need to think all of these through."
"Not to mention combat footwork, on-the-spot judgment, scenario rehearsal, and so forth."
"Of course, there's also targeted knowledge. Hmm, I might have set my expectations too high for you. This has already exceeded the norm for most Aurors."
Harry excitedly jotted down in his notebook, "No problem, you can make it as comprehensive as possible." He then, with a touch of Hermione's tone, added, "Professor, I'm actually considering writing a related thesis!"
"...Very well, I'll read it."
In the days leading up to the start of term, Professor Harp didn't have him continue practicing the Disarming Charm—this relieved him, and he finally got to learn a second spell.
"Potter—"
"Professor, you can call me Harry," Harry said with a hint of nervousness. He had practiced saying this in front of the mirror several times that morning just to be able to say it now.
There was silence from the other side. Just as he was beginning to regret his impulsiveness, Felix said, "Alright, Harry, I'll call you that privately."
"Your progress with the Disarming Charm won't make rapid leaps in a short time. Even with my comprehensive assistance, it's not feasible—"
"Professor, I'm already quite satisfied," Harry said contentedly. He had undergone a tremendous transformation; at the very least, he believed facing Malfoy and his two cronies wouldn't be an issue.
He saw Professor Harp smile at him, "I've also obtained the data I wanted, and the activity level of your magic is gradually returning to normal. Although I've tried my best to extend this process, unfortunately, I can't go against the laws of nature."
"In the next day or two, we'll intensively learn some spells. The effects will be three to five times faster than your usual pace."
Harry nodded eagerly.
