Chapter 34: Charms Class

"Thank you, Grey Lady."

Sien thanked her sincerely.

The young wizards behind, who were confused, saw the ghost float away and the staircase fall into place,

and they surged forward like a rising tide.

"Sien, how did you do that?"

Amidst the discussion, Michael's voice rang in Sien's ear,

and Anthony and Terry also pricked up their ears.

"Hogwarts Castle was built in the tenth century, and the rotating staircases in the castle were designed by Rowena Ravenclaw..."

Sien said up to this point,

and the three of them understood.

It was just that in such an urgent situation, who could have thought of that!

More importantly, asking a ghost for help—

Michael had thought that was just a joke the prefect made.

"But how did you know the Grey Lady could definitely influence the rotating staircase?"

Michael asked in a low voice.

"I didn't, but trying is better than doing nothing."

Sien replied.

They still made it to the Charms classroom, and the bell rang just after they entered.

The young wizards sat down, their faces flushed red.

The seating design of the Charms classroom was quite unique;

in the very middle was an aisle, and on both sides were four rows of connected seats.

Sien found the nearest seat and sat down, right next to Hermione, who had her head buried in a book.

The space beside her was empty until Sien sat down,

followed by Michael, Terry, and Anthony.

"You were almost late."

Hermione's head was buried in the book, and a muffled voice came out.

Sien nodded and cast his gaze toward the pile of books at the end of the aisle.

The professor teaching Charms was a wizard of surprisingly small stature, Professor Fuliwei.

He had just appeared from behind the first row of seats, immediately attracting the attention of all the young wizards.

Everyone looked curiously at this professor who was only one meter tall, and his fluffy white hair and beard.

They saw him turn around and climb, step by step, to the very top of the pile of books.

It made everyone's eyes pop out.

After he stood steady, the young wizards couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright, laughing isn't a bad thing, is it?"

Professor Fuliwei didn't seem to mind at all; he straightened his collar and continued in a relaxed voice,

"Charms are a skill every wizard should learn.

If a wizard cannot perform charms, then what qualification do they have to be called a wizard?"

As he spoke, he waved his wand,

and without even chanting a spell, the books flew up.

They swayed under the command of Professor Fuliwei's wand,

turning as big as a desk one moment, and as small as a fingernail the next.

With a gentle wave from Professor Fuliwei, they actually duplicated into dozens of copies,

and finally, they all turned into various animals running and jumping about.

Hermione looked curiously at a rabbit that had run to the front of the desk.

With a "bang," all the animals turned into fireworks and disappeared. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
