Chapter 104 Transfiguration Club

Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
The order of practical exams for Transfiguration is different from that for Charms.
The person in front of Glenn was no longer Cormac McLaggen, but Autumn.
When the girl walked out of the classroom, she had a smile on her face. It seemed that the effect of the previous late-night task-solving operation was quite good.
"Did you mention that you secretly asked Professor McGonagall exam questions?"
When the two met at the door, she blinked quietly and asked in a low voice.
"This really doesn't happen." Glenn scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "Even if I asked, do you think Professor McGonagall would tell me with her personality?"
Qiu shrugged, noncommittal, and turned sideways to let him pass.
In the Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall was sitting upright behind a desk, the expression on his face was not as serious as before.
Obviously, Qiu's performance satisfied her quite a bit.
Seeing Glenn coming in, she nodded slightly and wrote a few words on the parchment in front of her.
"Please begin, Mr. Ollivander."
Her voice was flat and she showed no particular preference.
"I need to remind you that the exquisiteness of the finished product is directly linked to your score. If the deformation is incomplete, certain points will be deducted."
Glenn nodded slightly, pulled out his wand, and cleared his throat.
He pointed the tip of his stick at the vase on the table, drew a 3D view of a still life in his mind, and muttered softly.
"Transform quickly!"
The halo circulates, the vase changes instantly, and its size shrinks rapidly.
The original glass material became bone china, and a hollow and carved handle appeared out of thin air on the side.
Soon, the entire vase transformed into an elegant and exquisite English tea cup.
The cup body is round and full, the inner wall is smooth, and soft colored lines are painted on it.
The handle is plated with gold and inlaid with various gemstones, which looks quite aristocratic and luxurious.
Glenn was ingenious and added four small but delicate mosaics to the outer walls.
That is the representative animal of the four major colleges.
An eagle, a lion, a snake and a badger.
Due to the limited size of the tea cup, each painting is not large, but not rough. Instead, it is quite delicate and lifelike.
Professor McGonagall gently picked up the exquisitely crafted teacup and looked it over carefully. Only then did she realize that there was a small Hogwarts school emblem hidden at the bottom of the cup.
"not bad."
The always stern Professor of Transfiguration carefully put the teacup back on the table, as if he was afraid of Glenn's pride, and just said lightly.
"It can be seen that your grasp of details is very precise, which also represents your magic control ability, but there are still some flaws."
Glenn looked puzzled, but not dissatisfied at all. He humbly asked Professor McGonagall for advice.
Professor McGonagall rarely kept a straight face and explained with a smile.
"I must admit that you are impeccable in the details and have almost completed a perfect work, but that is also the problem. Because you care too much about the details, you waste too much magic power."
"A waste of magic power?"
Glenn was startled and didn't quite understand.
"As I said, transfiguration is the use of magic to change the state of objects, animals and even humans."
Professor McGonagall explained patiently.
"In other words, to maintain the transformation spell, you need to continue to consume the magic power you have blessed on the other party. Once the magic power is exhausted, the transformation spell will be automatically lifted."
Glenn seemed to have some realization and showed a slightly enlightened expression.
"Do you mean that the transformation spell I cast this time will last shorter?"
Professor McGonagall glanced at the expression on his face, nodded and said.
"That's right, Mr. Ollivander. This is what I mean by you consuming too much magic power in order to make your work more refined."
Sensing that Glenn was showing up, her expression became softer.
“How to balance the two is something you have to figure out slowly in the days to come.”
"I understand, professor. Thank you!" Glenn stood up respectfully and bowed to express his gratitude.
Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and stopped him as he was about to leave.
"I think you are interested in transfiguration, Mr. Ollivander?"
Glenn was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied: "Yes, Professor, I think transfiguration can better reflect the inclusiveness and magic of magic. It is a subject worthy of in-depth study."
"That's very well said." Professor McGonagall showed a rare smile, "In that case, I hereby formally extend an invitation to you and welcome you to join the Transfiguration Club at Hogwarts."
Glenn was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.
He had only heard of the name of the Transfiguration Club in various fan novels before, but he never expected that Professor McGonagall actually founded such an organization that specialized in the study of Transfiguration.
"That couldn't be better, Professor." He accepted the invitation heartily, with a smile on his face.
Although he already had Dumbledore's experience notes, it was better to practice with others and confirm each other than to study alone.
What's more, you can also have Professor McGonagall, a master of transfiguration, give you guidance.
Of course, Dumbledore's level is undoubtedly higher, but he can't just run to the principal's office whenever he encounters a problem, right?
Professor McGonagall glanced at him with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you should be the only student who joined the Transfiguration Club before the third grade in the past 20 years."
"Thank you for the compliment." Glenn smiled shyly.
"Okay, let's call the next person in."
Professor McGonagall waved at him and did not forget to give him instructions.
"There is no need to talk about your achievements, but remember, never be complacent." She said in a solemn tone, "Talent is one thing, but if you don't work hard enough, no matter how good your talent is, it will be buried."
Glenn nodded seriously, stood up to say goodbye, and called the supporting actor who was waiting at the door to come in.
After the Transfiguration exam, it was Potions' turn.
For Glenn, who was able to prepare a simplified version of the intelligence enhancer just a few days after school started, a simple herbicide was even easier than making a pot of rib soup.
I don't know if the Half-Blood Prince was willing to let himself go, so he chose such a simple potion with only a few steps.
Glenn mixed it up out of boredom, leaving little room for extra play.
Professor Snape was not worried that he would cheat at all, and did not even glance at him once.
However, the Potions exam was not the easiest.
Professor Sprout's Herbology exam is.
The number of questions is small and the difficulty is low.They are all common sense questions such as "whitening effect" and so on.
Not only that, Glenn was shocked to find that all the questions she asked were the original questions she had studied over in the last class.
Is this the tolerance tradition that Hufflepuff has always adhered to?
The person in front of Glenn was no longer Cormac McLaggen, but Autumn.
