In the next Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall announced, "Okay, for the next class, we will practice Mice to Snuffboxes. The incantation for this transfiguration is 'Mutatio Cistella.' Got it? Mutatio Cistella." She then took out a cage of mice and handed one to each student. Harry, holding his white mouse with expressive eyes, took out a snack from his pocket and fed it to the little rodent. "Cute," he commented, placing the mouse on the table and holding his wand, ready to begin the transfiguration.

Harry focused on creating a clear mental image in his mind, thinking of a snuffbox. 'Let's go with a Hogwarts theme this time,' he thought. The snuffbox he envisioned was intricately detailed, resembling a miniature replica of Hogwarts Castle. Its exterior was adorned with tiny, perfectly crafted turrets and towers, each reflecting the architectural beauty of the school. The snuffbox's surface was a deep, glossy black, mimicking the night sky, and speckled with tiny silver dots that glittered like stars. The Hogwarts crest was emblazoned on the lid, exquisitely detailed with the four house animals - the snake, the lion, the badger, and the eagle - in their respective colors. The clasp of the snuffbox was shaped like the Sorting Hat, a touch that added whimsy and charm to the overall design. As Harry transfigured the mouse, he aimed for precision and accuracy, ensuring that every detail was as he imagined.

Nigel's voice echoed in Harry's mind. "Ah, a snuffbox with school spirit. How charmingly educational! Next, perhaps a set of quills that write only in house colors?"

Harry, concentrating on his task, managed a mental chuckle at Nigel's comment. "Nigel... That is actually a brilliant idea!"

As Harry continued with the transfiguration, he couldn't help but notice Professor McGonagall observing him closely. Her gaze was keen and assessing, reflecting her curiosity about Harry's growing prowess in Transfiguration. Harry could feel the pressure of her expectations, but he remained focused, his mind clear and his movements precise.

Finally, with a soft whisper of the incantation, Harry completed the transfiguration. The mouse seamlessly transformed into the snuffbox he had envisioned. It was a flawless replica of Hogwarts Castle, complete with the sparkling starry sky and the Sorting Hat clasp. The level of detail was astounding, showcasing Harry's talent and dedication to the art of Transfiguration.

McGonagall approached Harry's desk, her expression one of both surprise and admiration. "Mr. Potter, this is an exceptional piece of work. The attention to detail is remarkable."

As the Transfiguration class marveled at Harry's exquisite snuffbox, Professor McGonagall took it into her hands, examining the intricate details. The entire class was fixated on the snuffbox, and McGonagall couldn't help but express her admiration for Harry's skill. "Amazing! Too bad, I cannot keep it like the needle," she remarked, feeling the ethical dilemma of keeping a transfigured living creature as an ornate. Reluctantly, she decided not to keep the snuffbox. "20 points to Slytherin," she announced, acknowledging Harry's exceptional work, though she held onto the box for a while longer.

Chuckling at Professor McGonagall's dilemma over his intricately designed snuffbox, Harry glanced at Daphne and Tracey, who were seated on either side of him. Tracey, her eyebrows raised in mock exasperation, teased him, "Do you have to show off in every class?"

Harry, resting his chin on his hand thoughtfully, replied with a playful smirk, "Yep." His response elicited an eye roll from Daphne and a playful jab with her wand from Tracey.

Nigel's voice, laced with a hint of admiration, echoed in Harry's mind, "Ah, another plan comes to fruition. Masterful move, Master Harry."

Harry chuckled silently, his thoughts on the recent business dealings. "It wasn't too challenging to sway Mr. Whitethorn. A little nudge about showcasing his Nimbus brooms and investing three thousand Galleons for a stake in the Quidditch matches did the trick."

Nigel laughed, his voice tinged with sarcasm, "And now, the stage is set for you to dazzle the wider wizarding world. Because, of course, being the golden boy of Hogwarts wasn't sufficient for your ambitions."

Harry shook his head, still smiling. "There's no such thing as 'enough' in the game of influence and reputation."

As the excitement in the Great Hall settled, Harry's thoughts shifted to the upcoming match. It was more than just a game; it was a chance to showcase his skills on a larger stage, potentially drawing attention from influential figures in the wizarding world.
