Chapter 22 Transfiguration
Thanks to Tosnep, Lin Xia and Draco became famous in Gryffindor.
Gryffindor called Draco "an experimental machine that even the arrogant old man could not find fault with", and called Lin Xia "a warrior who dared to snatch food from the hands of the arrogant old man"!
When Draco talked about this with Lin Xia, he was a little depressed: "Why am I an experimental machine, and you are a warrior?"
The sun was shining at noon, and Lin Xia didn't want to sleep, so she asked the lark to send a message to Draco to read books together in the common room.
Draco happily went there and brought his two foodie roommates with him.
His roommates, one named Toure and the other named Robin, picked up the textbooks to preview the content of the afternoon class, while Draco and Lin Xia read extracurricular tutorial books.
There are many smart people in the wizarding world. After graduation, some students feel that some of the textbooks of Hogwarts are too obscure, so they have published tutorial books to help young wizards deepen their understanding.
Lin Xia read the tutorial books related to spells, and Draco read the magic potion processing.
She turned a page leisurely, and the pages with the scent of ink made a crisp rustling sound. The white fairy fell asleep on her legs, occasionally shaking her cat ears.
"Isn't this good? A precise experimental machine means that there will be no mistakes. This is much better than a warrior who challenges the professor's authority."
Lin Xia asked jokingly: "Or does Mr. Draco prefer the title of warrior?"
Draco was hit on the heart, turned his head and snorted heavily, "Warrior sounds very tasteless, so let's just call it an experimental machine!"
While they were reading, the Gryffindor lounge was also very lively.
Mikel pestered Ron and asked him about Lin Xia and Draco.
Ron said irritably: "I only know that Lin Xia's family is not well-off, so she works in a wand shop. As for her relationship with Draco, how do I know?
A pure-blood family like Malfoy would go to Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin, and I don't know the reason.
Don't ask me, if you are so curious about Malfoy, why don't you ask him? I think he is quite polite."
Mikel was choked by Ron and was speechless. When he read books before, he didn't like Ron's personality, and now he still thinks it's terrible.
Hermione picked up the sulfur ointment and read it, with a light of curiosity in her eyes.
"I checked the scabies potion and found that sulfur was not added at all, but the professor said that sulfur can disinfect and kill bacteria. This is amazing. How can she have such a magical ointment?"
Ron said proudly: "This must be a gadget brought by Lin Xia from the East. She likes to tinker with things with strange tastes!"
He also bought a lot of oriental snacks, and he had to find time to take them to Lin Xia.
Harry said, "Draco and Lin Xia seem to have a good relationship, which is a bit unexpected. The impression Draco gave me... how should I put it, a bit arrogant."
Ron had never met Draco, but because of Lin Xia, he didn't have any opinion on Draco.
"His family is a pure-blood family, and it's normal to be arrogant. Those families look down on people, but I can guarantee that Lin Xia will never do that."
Hermione's eyes sparkled, "When can you find Lin Xia? I'll go with you. I want to discuss sulfur with her!"
Ron hesitated: "How about in the evening?"
...
In the afternoon, there was a Charms class. Compared with senior students, freshmen had a very relaxed curriculum, with two classes a day, occasionally three, and sometimes only one.
The teacher of the Charms class was a surprisingly small wizard-Professor Flitwick. During class, he had to stand on a pile of books to reach the desk.
Like Professor Snape, he took out the roll call first. This class was for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw together.
Professor Flitwick taught the little wizards the first spell in this class, which was the levitation spell "Wingardium Leviosa".
He said seriously: "Don't forget the subtle wrist movements we have been training, one flick and one shake, remember, one flick and one shake."
"It is also very important to pronounce the spell accurately. If someone pronounces 'f' as 's', you will find yourself lying on the floor with a bison standing on your chest!"
The little wizards' control was very poor. Even after a lot of practice before, only a few of them could really do it.
The little wizards of Ravenclaw were hit hard and felt that the wizards of Hufflepuff were smarter than them.
Otherwise, why were most of the few people Hufflepuff students?
In the spell class, Lin Xia and Draco were not the only ones who stood out. Other little wizards of Hufflepuff also successfully used the levitation spell, all because of the good teaching of the seniors yesterday.
However, Lin Xia and Draco still attracted a lot of attention.
They also used the spell successfully, but their levitation spell was different from that of other little wizards.
The little wizard could only make the feathers float gently, but these two people could make books, desks and other objects float.
Not to mention Lin Xia, she used the levitation spell to help the little wizard out twice!
"Well done." Professor Flitwick clapped his hands and shouted, "The little wizard of Hufflepuff did a very standard move, Hufflepuff +30 points!"
The badgers danced happily, and the mood of learning spells was high.
A student of Ravenclaw, because of nervousness, mispronounced the word and actually summoned a big bison!
The students made a noise and dodged in panic.
Lin Xia did not move. She could feel that Professor Flitwick was very powerful and enough to solve this crisis.
On the contrary, it was Draco beside her who took the lead to save people. The spell he chose was "fainting".
A red light with a coma ray came from his wand and hit the bison.
The bison just swayed on the spot and continued to charge forward.
The spell was used correctly, but due to the little wizard's magic power, it was too weak!
"Collapse!"
A slightly sharp sound came from the side, and the red light from the tip of Professor Flitwick's wand became thicker and hit the bison.
The next second, the bison fell to the ground.
Professor Flitwick reassured the student and gave Hufflepuff another 10 points.
It's only been two days since school started, and Hufflepuff is already far ahead in the House Cup.
This made the seniors and seniors even more enthusiastic. No matter how busy they were with their studies, they would still take turns coming to the little wizard's lounge in the evening to give them tutoring.
Hufflepuff's tutoring is also very interesting. They never force the little wizards to learn anything, but ask them what they are interested in.
If you are not interested in anything, you can eat something first and see how others play, or you can try it yourself.
Once you have determined the direction of interest, it is not too late to start counseling.
Lin Xia also participated in tutoring in the lounge at night, but it was tutoring on the art of transformation.
Cedric was very accomplished in the art of transfiguration, and he was very willing to guide Lin Xia, as well as Draco, who must learn from Lin Xia.
"Transfiguration is a very profound spell. In addition to the normal transformation spell, there are also transformation spells, summoning spells, disappearance spells, Animagus, human body transformation, appearance, summoning, stone pier deployment..."
Cedric said while giving a demonstration: "I personally think that transfiguration is also a versatile magic. Almost all spells can be countered with transfiguration spells."
Draco said: "In Charms class this afternoon, someone summoned a bison."
Cedric raised his eyebrows: "He must have pronounced the wrong syllable. The floating spell can easily be pronounced as the buffalo summoning spell.
If it were me, I'd cast a polymorph spell on the bison, turning it into an immovable stool, like this. "
He tapped the bird flying around with his wand, and a stool with wings appeared in front of him.
Cedric didn't use full transformation, so the bird turned into a flying stool.
"You see, transformation makes other creatures much less dangerous."
Lin Xia was very interested in the art of transformation and continued to transform the Badger figure.
This time she took out her wand and easily changed the expression of the figure, and now she plans to change the appearance of the figure.
Elsewhere, Ron took Hermione, Harry and Mikel, who had followed him inexplicably, to start an adventure in the castle.
