He wasn't sure if Fleevy and Professor Mag were trying to use his relationship with Luna to deepen and ease the tension between them and Dumbledore. Allen shook his head with a wry smile. There was a conflict of ideologies between them, and it was not something that could be fixed by these little tricks. Unless Allen gave up his own ideas and accepted Dumbledore's arrangement, or Dumbledore accepted Allen's arrangement and joined the revolution. However, it was impossible for these two stubborn people who both believed that they were right.
Allen stole a glance at Luna and prayed to his apprentice that Professor Mag would not be sent to Madame Pomfrey for emergency treatment. He did not say anything. After recording all the contents of the wizard textbook, he stood back on the podium and clapped his hands to attract the attention of the wizards who were flipping through the textbooks.
"Through the previous lessons, I've taught you some offensive spells that are much more powerful than what you could have learned in the regular lessons. However, in terms of how to heal yourself and others better, you still don't have enough knowledge." Allen's gaze slid over the wizards who were listening attentively. "Now, who can tell me what healing spells you can learn from the school, and what are their shortcomings?"
Many hands in the classroom were raised. Allen looked at Miss Know-It-All, who had raised her hand reflexively when she heard the question. Her ears were still a little red. Allen touched the bottom of his nose, and then pointed at Hermione, asking her to answer the question.
"The most common universal healing spell we can learn in the school is' Heal as before. 'It is a spell that can be used to heal broken bones and wounds, such as a broken nose, a broken toe, or a split lip. Its shortcoming is that it needs to be healed bit by bit, and the spell needs to be cast continuously until the wound is completely healed. " Hermione raised her head and answered loudly, "There is also 'Rapid Healing.' It is a healing spell that is more advanced than 'Heal as before.' It is a healing spell that is similar to a song. It is very useful for more serious injuries and magic damage with curses. However, they all have the same shortcoming, which is that the healing speed is relatively slow and the need to focus when casting the spell. If you are seriously injured and there is no one to help you, you may not be able to heal yourself. There are also some special spells for special symptoms and some rare healing spells that need to be taught in the library, such as arm repair that specializes in treating broken arms … "
"Very detailed. You have answered my question correctly. Five extra points for Gryffindor." Allen was not stingy with his compliments to his student. Although Hermione was used to earning points for Gryffindor, she was still very happy that Allen gave her extra points.
"Just like what Hermione said, when we are in urgent need of healing, we can't achieve the desired effect. Moreover, I believe that everyone has learned through various media that not only are there Death Eaters abroad causing waves in other countries and creating terrorist incidents, but our country is also not very peaceful recently. The demon attack in Hogsmeade has made many people doubt their own strength and worry about their own safety. In view of such a situation, what we are going to learn in this lesson is a spell that can heal and protect ourselves and others quickly and effectively, "Allen pointed his index finger at the wizards, this action made him look very reliable and convincing.
Allen opened the raven waist bag on the demon's skull belt and searched inside for a while. He took out two glass boxes of different sizes and put them on the podium. The glass on the bigger box was dark and almost opaque.
There were a few brown worms that were about ten inches long and about the diameter of a dinner plate lying in the transparent glass box. These things that were secreting mucus lazily laid on a piece of lettuce motionlessly. After the opaque cover was opened, it looked like a small crab claw orchid. After Allen teased it a few times, this plant immediately wriggled and took off its disguise, turning back into a vine that looked like a snake's tendril. It even tried to entangle Allen's finger that was teasing it.
"Isn't that Hagrid's Flaubert Worm?" Jenny looked at these worms with a disgusted expression. The best way to take care of them was to ignore them and let them grow freely. "What is Allen going to do with it? Don't tell me he wants us to use its mucus to heal our wounds … "
"Allen isn't Snape … I think he's just using them to show me the new healing effect …" Harry comforted his girlfriend and turned to Hermione. "Next to it is the Devil's Web. Allen and I were trapped by a large version of this thing when we were in the first grade."
Then, Allen's action drew the attention of the slightly noisy students back. He raised his left hand, and after brushing it with his right hand, a long and narrow wound appeared on his left index finger. Beads of blood immediately emerged from the wound. He let his finger bleed and held it up, letting it drip onto the podium.
A few Hufflepuff witches screamed in the room. They thought Professor Harris was going to attack Flober's worms, but they didn't expect him to cut his own fingers instead. When they thought of the similar experience they had when they were cooking, they touched their own fingers, as if they had experienced the pain themselves.
Allen removed a glass case covering Flaubert's Worm with his right hand. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he put a few fingers on the worm and touched it. A red light flashed from the worm and back into Allen's fingers. In the blink of an eye, the worm was severely dehydrated. Its skin was dry and cracked like dried brown soil. It was no longer as lazy as before. Its front and back curled up and wriggled as if it was struggling on the verge of death.
At this moment, the students noticed that the wound on Allen's left index finger had completely healed. If it weren't for the blood that still remained on it, it would be impossible to tell that it was scratched a few seconds ago.
"This ancient magic is called 'Vampiric Touch'. If you successfully cast the magic and let your palm touch the target, your touch will cause damage under your control. It's not very powerful as an attack magic, but the most important thing is that it can let you gain the life force of the target and heal your own injuries quickly." Alan shook his finger that was as good as new.
"As long as you touch it, you can hurt the enemy … But Flaubert's Worm is really not something that people want to touch." Padma Patil, the female leader of Ravenclaw and one of the Indian twins, flicked her finger a few times. "Can't Allen choose something else … I bet he'll make us do the same thing later …"
Autumn Zhang's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "This spell heals so fast!"
"This is much cooler than being healed … But … Professor Harris, can't you just give it a quick death?" Hannah could not help but mumble as she looked at the Flober Worm that was still struggling in vain. A few Slythrin students abnormally agreed with her. They felt that this was too cruel. However, the atmosphere was different from the previous Transfiguration class. Millison Bostel and the others did not dare to be too arrogant. They were only limited to mumbling in agreement.
Allen took in the reactions of the audience and continued, "Vampiric Touch is normally used to touch the target. As long as you touch the target's body, it will work even if the target is wearing protective gear or clothes. However, there aren't many opportunities to touch the target in a battle. It's too dangerous for wizards to be too close to the target. Plus, we have more suitable spells and tactics in this kind of situation unless you're confident in your own abilities. Besides, Vampiric Touch is not a conventional tactic that's suitable for a battle. "
The enthusiasm of the wizards cooled down a little. Allen added, "However, it can be used in a battle when the target is least expecting it. The healing speed of Vampiric Touch is faster than other healing spells because it uses the life of the target to heal itself instead of purely relying on magic. If you're injured and can't focus on healing yourself, then touching the target or something alive might be a good choice."
"Now, I'll show you the advanced use of this spell — Damage Transfer. Use it to heal this poor Flaubert's Worm." Allen put his right hand on the fleshy worm that was not completely dead yet and moved his healed left hand closer to the small Devil's Web. The Devil's Web wrapped around Allen's fingers like a snake. Allen let them wrap around his left hand.
When the Devil's Web continued to climb up to Allen's wrist, a red light flashed. The tendrils that were wrapped around Allen seemed to have lost all their strength and fell from Allen's hand. The Devil's Web, which was full of vitality, became dry and withered. Every wilted and yellow tendril fell weakly on the podium.
At the same time, the shriveled body of the Flaubert's Worm in the box quickly swelled up. Its body was moisturized, and its cracked skin healed. The Flaubert's Worm, which did not have much intelligence, shook its body that had returned to normal and crawled to the other corner of the box. It lay down comfortably and began to spit out mucus again.
Then, Allen highlighted the key points of the spell that he had inputted to the students on the blackboard. He emphasized the language and posture of the Vampiric Touch spell. After demonstrating the spell many times by using Silent Incantation and ignoring the casting motions, Allen opened his pouch on the podium again and commanded the Flaubert's Worm and the Devil's Web to fly to the table in front of the wizards.
"Alright, your next task is to use the new spell that you've learned to complete the challenge. You don't have to cut yourself like I did. Just cast the spell on the Flaubert's Worm. If you're not injured, the life force that you've absorbed will be wasted. Don't forget the key points of casting the spell and the incantation that we've talked about just now. Remember, these are the prerequisites. The casting of this incantation is not very difficult. Just like many other black magic, it's easy to master it … However, it's not that easy to control it accurately … "Allen clapped his hands and said to the students with a mischievous smile," You guys have to be careful. The effect of the Vampiric Touch spell is not easy to control. I purposely chose the Flaubert's Worm and the Devil's Web because they have weak vitality. My goal is to strengthen your control of the spell's power. If you're careless, you'll lose your lives because of the plants that I borrowed from the headmaster of Hufflepuff's Herbalism class, Professor Pomona Sprout, and the worms that I borrowed from the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, Professor Ruber Hagrid. I won't punish you for this, but you have to remember that you have to return the things to the two professors after this class … "
