Harry Potter with Technology System

Ch92- Charm-ing

Second Chapter of the day.

Flitwick looked at Harry, "So the question you asked, Mr. Potter, yes, Charm and Transfiguration are two different branches of spellcasting that could lead to the same result. It is possible to light the tip of the wand with Lumos but also transfigure the tip of the wand to luminescent. Differences are as I listed, in Charms, it is temporary and supply of energy is needed and can be cut off at any second, while in Transfiguration, once it is applied, the wand will stay luminescent until changed back."

"But most importantly, Mr. Potter, one must consider the side-effects that come with Transfiguration due to the alteration of matter, a factor that is not present in Charms. Charms are straightforward in their application and effects, directly aligning with their intended purpose. However, Transfiguration, while versatile, demands a more critical approach. When we transfigure an object, we change its very essence, which could lead to unintended and sometimes irreversible consequences. This is why Charms are more commonly used in everyday spellcasting. They offer a more predictable and controlled outcome, making them safer and more reliable for regular use. The choice between using a Charm or Transfiguration depends on the situation and the caster's judgement on the potential risks and benefits of altering the matter at hand."

Harry nodded, absorbing Professor Flitwick's explanation. It was a fascinating distinction, and he filed away the information for future reference. He glanced at Susan, who seemed equally captivated by the lesson.

Seeing the class thoroughly engaged, Professor Flitwick clapped his hands together with a sparkle in his eyes. "Wonderful! Now, let's put theory into practice. As Ms. Davis rightly said, the incantation for the Wand-Lighting Charm is 'Lumos'. Let's see you all try it."

The students eagerly took out their wands, their faces alight with anticipation. Harry participated with equal enthusiasm, curious to test his skills in a more traditional setting.

"Remember," Flitwick instructed, "focus on your intent. Envision the light emanating from your wand tip as you say the incantation."

The room buzzed with a chorus of "Lumos," followed by varying degrees of success. Some wands flickered faintly, others shone brightly, while a few remained stubbornly dark.

Harry's wand, however, emitted a strong, steady light, illuminating the area around him. Beside him, Susan's wand glowed with a soft, warm light, her face beaming with pride.

Flitwick, observing the class, offered encouragement and advice. "Excellent, Mr. Potter, Ms. Bones! Control is key; well done! Remember, everyone, focus and intention are your guides."

As the class progressed, the students gradually improved, the room becoming a constellation of small lights. Flitwick moved through the rows, guiding and correcting with gentle suggestions.

Hannah, sitting on Harry's other side, leaned closer, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can you help me, Harry?" she asked, her eyes fixed on her dimly lit wand.

Harry turned towards her, a friendly smile on his face. "Of course," he replied, shifting his focus to help his classmate.

As Harry began guiding Hannah, offering tips on wand movement and concentration, Nigel's voice resonated in Harry's mind. "Master Harry, it appears you're on a quest to charm more than just inanimate objects in this class."

Harry mentally rolled his eyes at Nigel's comment, choosing to ignore the AI as he focused on helping Hannah. His assistance seemed to be effective, as Hannah's wand soon emitted a brighter light, her face lighting up with a mixture of relief and gratitude.

Despite her own success, Susan, sitting beside Harry, cast a slightly displeased glance their way. She tried to hide it, but her attention was clearly divided between her own wand and the scene unfolding beside her.

"Thanks, Harry," Hannah said, her voice filled with genuine appreciation. "I couldn't have done it without you."

Harry, turning back to his own wand, replied with a modest smile, "You had it in you all along, Hannah. Just needed a little push."

Flitwick observed the classroom, a pleased smile on his face as the soft glow of numerous wand tips illuminated the faces of the students. "Excellent work, class! Now, let's progress to the counter Charm, Nox," he announced, his voice filled with encouragement.

The room, which had been bathed in the soft light of numerous 'Lumos' spells, gradually dimmed as the students, one by one, successfully extinguished their lights with the 'Nox' incantation. Harry, following suit, watched as the light at his wand tip faded, leaving a satisfied feeling in his heart. Beside him, Susan and Hannah mirrored his actions, their expressions a mix of concentration and pride.

As the class drew to a close, Flitwick commended the students on their progress. "Charms may seem straightforward, but they require focus and finesse. You've all done admirably today," he said, beaming at them.

The students began packing their things, the buzz of excited conversation filling the room. Susan turned to Harry, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thanks for sitting with me today, Harry. It made the class even more enjoyable," she said, her voice tinged with sincerity.

Harry smiled back, "It was my pleasure, Susan. Charms is more fun with good company."

Nigel, sly and witty as ever, remarked, "Ah, Master Harry, playing the role of the charming gentleman, I see. How very dashing of you."

Harry, amused by Nigel's remark, mentally chuckled. "Just being friendly, Nigel. No harm in that, right? I swear, nothing else."

As the students filed out of the Charms classroom, Harry couldn't help but notice Daphne and Tracey casting glances his way. The air was filled with a mix of whispers and lingering curiosity about the day's lesson. Turning to Susan and Hannah, Harry offered a friendly goodbye. "It was great learning with you both today," he said, his tone warm and genuine.

Susan smiled, her earlier shyness seeming to fade slightly. "Thanks, Harry. See you around."

Hannah nodded, adding, "Yes, thanks again for the help, Harry."

With a nod and a smile, Harry turned away from them and made his way towards Daphne and Tracey. "Ladies," he greeted them with a casual ease.

Daphne replied with a dry, "Potter," her tone carrying a hint of coolness. Tracey, more open in her curiosity, didn't hesitate. "Why did you sit with them?" she asked directly.

Harry feigned confusion, his expression one of innocent surprise. "Why not? They invited me. It was just a seat."

Daphne turned her head away, her body language reflecting a mix of annoyance and pride, while Tracey frowned. "Still. We usually sit together in all classes," she pointed out, her tone suggesting a slight sense of betrayal.

Harry, realizing their feelings of jealousy, pondered his next move. While he wasn't one to bend easily, he valued their friendship, seeing them as more than mere pawns in the complex game of Hogwarts politics. 'Should I make it up to them?' he thought.

Nigel's voice surfaced in Harry's thoughts, tinged with his usual brand of humor. "Compromise, Master Harry, isn't a sign of weakness. It's the art of being a gentleman, though I'm sure some would argue it's just clever manipulation."

Harry, taking Nigel's advice to heart, turned to Daphne and Tracey with a proposal. "Ladies, how about I show you a variation of the Lumos spell I've been working on? A bit of private tutoring, if you will."

Tracey's eyes lit up with excitement. "Really?" she exclaimed, her curiosity piqued. Daphne, maintaining her cool demeanor, gave a slight nod, though her interest was clearly sparked beneath her reserved facade.

"Follow me," Harry said, leading them to a quieter unused classroom at the corner of the corridor. Once they were away from prying eyes, he took out his wand. "Now, watch closely," he instructed, focusing his mind.
