Chapter 10 Magic Lesson

"Hello everyone!" a man wearing black tall hat and a black suit was speaking, "Welcome to the magic lesson!"

"What a dramatic voice." whispered Ron to Neville. "Even more dramatic than Lockhart." They both smirked.

"That man's got a battyfly on his head!" said Luna excitedly, "they're really ware! I never thought I'd find one near a muggle."

"What's a battyfly?" Neville asked with his usual interest in Luna's magical creatures. He always asked about them.

"They're invisible. So the only clue to find them is they make the person nearest to them act oddly." Luna explained. "My dad wrote an article about them last year. I can get a copy for you if you like."

"Honestly, Luna, I don't think there is a battyworm on him," Hermione continued before Luna could interrupt, "His job is to entertain people, therefore he had to act like that. Just like you can't think the weird sisters and Celestina Warbeck had battyworm on them."

"My name is Dave Copper, just call me Dave!" the magician boomed. "Now let's not loose any time, shall we begin?"

"Yes!" Most of the muggle students answered.

"What did you say? I can't hear you!" Dave curled his hand round his ear. This time the reply was a hundred times louder, "YES!"

"Did you see Ernie put a spell to his throat?" said Harry to Ron. He saw Ernie magically enlarged his voice before yelling a 'yes'.

"The lesson will be divided into two parts: I'll teach you how to play Ninga Rings. See, the silver rings over there!" the students looked at the direction he pointed at. "and we would invite our wizards and witches to show us some magic!" the muggles all clapped enthusiastically.

"Really, time is different now. The muggles don't burn us like they did in the medieval times." said Hermione, though no one could hear her.

Very soon, everyone in the room got a set of rings from the cardboard box. Dave taught them how to put the four rings together and apart without being noticed by anyone. None of the students, no matter muggles or wizards, could achieve that stage. They just made the movement too slowly or too clearly that people see the gaps in the rings. Many of them gave up fairly quickly and decided to watch the others try, only a few practiced until Dave told them to stop. Hermione was one of the few, of course.

"Be confident with yourself, be confident!" Dave always encouraged students who gave up with this sentence.

After a while, Dave announced that it was time for exchangers to show them magic. The Hogwarts students gathered around and discussed what to show the muggles.

"Patronuses, they're cute." suggested Luna.

"That'll be Harry's job. He does them he best." said Terry Boot.

"Perhaps summoning charms?" then Ron answered, "Easy."

"Hermione, can you make those water-proof fires?" asked Ron, and Hermione said yes.

"I think I'll make things dance." said Hannah Abott thoughtfully.

"And I'll change these silver rings into gold." Said Ernie.

"Can I stun someone?" asked Terry Boot. Luna replied immediately, "Oh yes, you can stun yourself and I'll wake you up."

"No, I've changed my mind. I'll conjure a goblet."

"Then Ill fill it with water."

"Who first?" asked Dave.

"Go, our honourable leader of DA." said Ron while he pushed Harry forward.

"Expecto Patromum!" A great silver stag emerged out of Harry's wand and circled the room. The crowd cheered. The muggles attempted to touch it when it came close. It ran for a few minutes and went back to Harry. He patted the stag before t vanished.

"This is a patromum. Everyone has a different one." explained Harry, though not very briefly.

Then it was Hermione's turn. The made the water-proof fire and held it in the middle of the air with her wand before saying, "Aguamenti!". A jet of water flew to the fire but it didn't extinguish, the blue ball of fire danced happily until Hermione vanished it.

The muggles seemed to be very interested. All sorts of magic appeared in the room, with laughter accompanied them.

Reviews will be very encouraging.
