v3 Chapter 108: I seem to be getting smarter

"You can't say you know Transfiguration without mastering the technique of batch transformation. In my opinion, Transfiguration has four stages, the first stage is the transformation of a single item, and the second stage is the same transformation of multiple items— For example, the sleeping bags I just deformed, the third stage is different deformation of multiple objects, and the fourth stage is permanent deformation.”

Having said that, Professor McGonagall pointed at the sleeping bags again with her wand, and turned them into a chicken, a pot of flowers, a teapot, and an eagle.

"This is to turn objects into different things, which is a step higher than the difficulty of deformation just now."

At this time, the eagle jumped on the chicken and pecked its head off at once. The chicken banged and changed back to the sleeping bag. It just broke a big hole, and a large plume of down floated out from it. The eagle soared into the sky, but hit the ceiling again, knocking himself unconscious.

Professor McGonagall shrugged helplessly, and picked up the mess in a muttered voice.

"Next time I'll be all dead." After cleaning up, she couldn't help but complain.

Transfiguration is to wrap a layer of magic around objects to change their shape. But if it is hit by an external force that exceeds the range of magic power, it will show its original shape or even be destroyed.

Whether the transformed object has the original and present instinct is the criterion for judging the level of deformation. After some crappy wizards turn hedgehogs into needle pads, others hold needles close to the pads, and the pads will shrink in fear - this is unqualified deformation.

And the new object that is transformed has the instinct of a new object, which is the most first-class deformation. For example, the eagle that Professor McGonagall has just transformed has the instinct to hunt and escape, which is not something ordinary wizards can do.

When Professor McGonagall first came to teach at Hogwarts, he made a joke about the high level of transformation. When she gave the first class to the first-year freshmen, she first showed her hand to become a catgirl, and then turned her podium into a big fat pig.

According to the young Professor McGonagall's script, this opening was amazing enough to arouse the interest of the students, and now it is time to get to the point. But Professor McGonagall's transformation level is so high that her pigs are too realistic. The pig pulled a big bubble of stinky **** in full view.

The entire classroom was blown up on the spot, and the sound of the noise shocked the fat pig. It rushed out of the classroom, leaving Professor McGonagall stunned on the empty podium.

After Professor McGonagall took a lot of effort to transform the pig back into the lecture table, she grew a heart, and from then on, she kept a little strength when she transformed it, and it became less realistic. That's why the pig that Professor McGonagall showed when Tom and the others did Transfiguration on the first day of school just stood there obediently.

The predation of the eagle and the fluttering down feathers today undoubtedly brought back Professor McGonagall's memories. She recalled what happened to her when she was young, so she immediately restored the sleeping bags to their original state.

"Cough, you see, this is not permanent transformation. Permanent transformation is the realm that every transformation master is tirelessly pursuing. I hope that one of you can complete permanent transformation in the future."

"Professor McGonagall, is there any one of your former students who can achieve permanent deformation?" Hermione raised her hand, she was a little curious about this question.

"Not yet, in fact, even I may not be able to achieve permanent transformation." A flash of memory flashed in Professor McGonagall's eyes, "I remember that there was once a child who achieved semi-permanent transformation - she gave the The potions professor gave her a little goldfish that she made, and the goldfish stayed with the professor until one day..."

"What's wrong?" Hermione looked at Professor McGonagall curiously, she wanted to know the ending of this story.

A look of sadness flashed across Professor McGonagall's face, but she quickly hid it, "It's nothing, that goldfish's transformation lasted for several years, she's really a smart girl."

Looking at Hermione, there was a hint of love in Professor McGonagall's eyes, "She's a bit like you, Miss Granger, she's also a Muggle, and you're as good as her... I believe your level of transformation will not be the same in the future. will be inferior to her."

The story was a bit of a head-scratcher for Hermione, but she was happy to be praised by Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, let's cut to the chase, batch morphing requires our mind to focus on all the items that need to be morphed, imagine them as a whole, and morph that whole. It's easier said than done, but it also takes a lot of practice. Of course, I believe that after you practice a few times, you will gradually find the trick..." Professor McGonagall explained to the students the method of batch deformation and the details that need to be paid attention to when deforming. From time to time, she wrote a few lines on the blackboard, telling the little tricks she had learned.

The students wrote hard in the audience, desperately writing down the knowledge dictated by Professor McGonagall and the tips written on the blackboard in their notebooks. I don't know if they missed Professor Snape's PPT at this time.

In class, I am most afraid of meeting that kind of professor who does not write on the blackboard or do PPT, and just talks with one mouth. Fortunately, the professors at Hogwarts don't have such a broken habit—Professor Sprout, who often lectures in the greenhouse, is one of them, but what she talks about is in the books, so it is not difficult to review.

A good pen is also very important. Luckily for Tom, his quill has a very strong passive: it doesn't need to be dipped in ink, which saves him a lot of trouble. The pen in Hermione's hand, who was sitting on the side, ran out of water, and in a hurry, she hurriedly put the tip of the pen into the ink bottle. In the end, the notes were filled with ink dots.

Professor McGonagall finally finished. The students in the audience also let out a long breath, and finally they could relax their swollen wrists.

Hermione glanced at her deskmate with a little jealousy, "What a nice quill!"

"Look back and I'll remodel your pen to make the ink sac bigger..."

Hearing this, Hermione pondered: It seems that I can cast a small spell on the ink sac... I will go back and study it.

At this time, Professor McGonagall took out a few small boxes, and Tom looked carefully, and it turned out to be boxes of matches. Match, an old acquaintance of Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall placed five matches on each student's table.

"You have already mastered the transformation of matches in the first grade. I believe that everyone here should have mastered the key points of transformation of matches." Professor McGonagall lit a match on the table with his wand, In a second it turned into a silvery needle.

"Today is no different, it's just that you need to turn multiple matches together into needles."

Looking at the little wizards who were eager to try, Professor McGonagall stopped talking and let them start.

Tom stared at the matches in front of him, trying to imagine them as a whole. After staring for a while, he picked up his wand and pointed at the matches. All five matches changed: three became needles, the fourth only looked like a needle, and the fifth barely changed. .

Although not completely successful, but the first deformation has this effect is also very good. But Hermione next to him was a little more powerful, and she turned all five matches into needles in one fell swoop.

"Very good," Professor McGonagall was attracted by the progress of the two. "You two have made great progress in Transfiguration, especially Miss Granger." Looking at the match that was deformed by Tom and Hermione , Professor McGonagall was a little surprised.

She thought that by the end of the get out of class, the students in the class could only deform three needles at a time, but she did not expect Tom to reach this standard at the first time. What surprised her even more was that Granger transformed five needles All deformed.

She would not be so surprised if the performances of the two were switched. Because in her impression, Yodel is a gifted but not so hard student, and Granger is the kind of person who is less talented than genius, but can endure hardship very much. As a result, today Granger's talent is stronger than Yodel's.

"Is this your first batch deformation?" Professor McGonagall asked in disbelief. After getting a positive answer, she couldn't help but admire the growth speed of the two: it's too fast! The speed of these two people's progress is too fast, and now their level of Transfiguration is no worse than that of the fifth-grade students. As for the patron saint spell that day, it was even more amazing, and it was beyond the scope of students.

"Ravenclaw 10 points." Although she was surprised, she didn't show any emotion on her face, she just gave Ravenclaw 10 points and walked away.

Hermione frowned on the side.

She wasn't frowning because she didn't get enough points or compliments, she was a little confused. Because she felt like she "exploded in a small universe" all of a sudden, and did things that she couldn't do normally.

She intuitively felt that her performance should be similar to Tom's, but the result was beyond her expectations. This invigorating feeling of casting spells is really amazing to her.

She thought it was a flash of inspiration, but after trying a few more matches, Hermione found that her performance was actually stable, as if she had suddenly become smart.

After thinking about it, she couldn't understand the reason, but it didn't prevent her from becoming happy. This mood continued until the end of get out of class.

After the Transfiguration class, they hurried to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. Today's class schedule is more comfortable, and Tom and Hermione don't need to go back in time to go to class.

"I hope today's teacher is no longer Professor Snape," Hermione said worriedly, "Professor Lupin should have taken care of himself, right?"

Last class, Snape's vicious tongue made Hermione **** off. He commented that Hermione's previous assignments were "unclear and inaccurate", and said: Can you get eight points for this kind of assignment? If he came to score, he would give two points at most, three points would be too much.

This made Hermione half-dead: these things were written by her staying up all night to check the information, and she actually got this kind of evaluation. If Tom hadn't stopped her, she might have stood up and argued with Snape.

Hermione didn't hold out much hope for the two-rolls of parchment paper he had left behind - she was probably going to be singled out for a bunch of mistakes and get a low score.

"I guess it's Professor Lupin who came to class." Tom pointed and counted, several days had passed since the full moon night, and Lupin had probably recovered. I just don't know how much effect the wolf poison potion has on him?

It is said that the wolf poison potion can ensure that the werewolf is awake after the transformation on the night of the full moon, but Tom does not know whether the after-effects of the transformation have been weakened. But Tom felt that it should not be weakened - instead, it may strengthen and amplify this weakness.

Fortunately, it was Professor Lupin who came in today. His face became pale again, and his mental state was a little sluggish. He struggled to control a large water tank and let it slowly land on the podium.

The water tank swayed past the little wizard, and the water inside was very full, giving people a feeling that it would spill out at any time. Fortunately, there is a cover to prevent this from happening.

There must be something in the tank, but the water is cloudy and can't be seen clearly. After the box fell on the podium, the students applauded in unison.

Professor Lupin smiled helplessly, "Children, isn't it! Does this all require applause?"

The little wizards in the audience did not stop, but drummed harder.

The reason they applauded was not that Professor Lupin had used the Floating Charm, but that he had finally recovered, and finally Snape was no longer the substitute! The little wizards thought to their hearts that Snape's potions class was enough, not Defence Against the Dark Arts—in fact, it would be best if he didn't even teach potions.

Professor Lupin took a short rest and waited for the students to arrive before starting the lecture. However, he did not delay from entering the classroom to the start of the class. He collected the students' papers on werewolves and read them carefully.

The title of the students' paper is "How to Identify and Kill Werewolves", and it is very dark humor for Professor Lupin to read such a paper, and it feels a bit like a **** joke.

However, Professor Lupin was very dedicated. Obviously, the topic of this thesis was not very friendly to him, but he still read every paper carefully. UU reading

After seeing the paper that Hermione handed in, he couldn't help showing a wry smile: The paper is so well written, I guess the child has become suspicious of himself? It's probably a matter of time before you see through your own identity.

He sighed: take one step at a time. He has been here for so many years. Looking for a job, being identified, changing jobs... My life has fallen into such a vicious circle. This job at Hogwarts is quite a long one.

He just hoped that his identity would be revealed a little later and not cause Dumbledore too much trouble.

The first few minutes of the class were spent reading papers. After reading the last paper, Professor Lupin stood up and smiled at the students.

"Now, let's go to class! Today I will let you know Kabbah."
