Hogwarts Wizards and Pandora's Box. The Halloween Specter

Chapter 12: WITCH TRAINING. Part 2: developing the senses

The Hall on Request, already repaired after the explosive duel between Blackwood and the Smiths, responded to a request from a student who wanted a room to practice.

The Hall had taken the form of a training room that most closely resembles an outdoor yoga field, with a dismal atmosphere.

Models are stationed everywhere.

The students enter the room at the same time.

"I'm not going to ask a question about what went through your mind when asking for a room. No really, it's cool to have this feeling of training on the new ground of a cemetery."

The girls don't say anything, just drop their bags.

"Well, I took the time to schedule our sessions. First let's start with a reminder of magic lessons."

They put themselves in the lotus position.

There are two types of wizards.

First the domestic wizards. They learn and use spells that are useful to them in everyday life, these wizards live from magic, their daily life, their housework, their work, all this works normally thanks to magic.

Then there are the combat wizards, they live their day-to-day life like muggles, they mix well in their society, and they only use magic for two things: their work and combat.

If the Pit has developed, it is mainly thanks to these combat wizards.

They are at the origin of combat spells, especially the new ones, their practice of magic is contested by purists who see in them only people who only use magic to harm others.

This is partly true; however, battle wizards protest that they learn to defend themselves, that they want to be sure that the next time dark mages want to kill them or their family, they will be able to defend themselves. without just paralyzing their enemy or worse, feeling the remorse of casting an unbreakable spell.

This ideal is starting to gain momentum within the ministry, but with the majority being household wizards, combat wizards are seen only as bullies just wanting to satisfy their desire for violence.

"It is by following the method of these combat wizards that we are going to train. The first step is to visualize, imagine, see the precise image of the spell, of its manifestation before casting it, that is why we meditate. Take the pose that you feel most comfortable."

Rune maintains her lotus position.

Kiarah lies down and positions herself as if she were in a coffin.

Lily lies on the ground like a starfish.

Daeren lies down with his back to the ground.

"Remember that our concentration and imagination is our greatest asset before the wand. So, close your eyes... inhale and exhale slowly... feel the energy flowing through your body... feel the circulation of your blood... feel the beating of your heart... think of a pleasant fruit... smell a pleasant smell... hear a pleasant noise... think of a pleasant taste..."

When Daeren stops speaking, only the sound of breathing should echo in the room.

"Now... imagine yourself in the place that is most pleasant to you... imagine every detail and... walk..."

Rune feels a sensation of warmth going through her, and is in a spring forest, quiet.

Kiarah finds herself in her house, in her room, on her bed and everything around is silence.

Lily feels light, she is on a carpet floating in a clear blue sky.

Daeren finds himself in the middle of the night, leaning against a fruit tree near a river illuminated by the light of the moon.
