Chapter 16 Transfiguration Lessons

When the three of them walked into the classroom, only half of the new students from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were there, and then some people pushed the door in one after another, breathing heavily.
Morgana quietly blended into the crowd, looking like she hadn't woken up, and yawned widely.
A calico cat squatted on the desk in the first row of seats. The black lines around its eye sockets looked like a pair of glasses.
The clever Professor McGonagall did not stand directly in front of the podium, but turned into her Animagus form and secretly observed the new students.
The last to enter was the unattractive Cormac McLaggen, disheveled and dusty, having evidently fallen into more than one trap.
Before he could sit down, the tabby cat jumped down from the table, its body shape changed rapidly, and when it landed on the ground, it had transformed into their Transfiguration class professor.
McLaggen was so frightened that he leaned back, subconsciously pointed his finger at Professor McGonagall, and opened his mouth to utter a few meaningless syllables.
The freshmen had never seen such a magical transformation technique before, and their eyes were all fixed on the professor.
Glenn's eyes were filled with admiration.
As expected of Professor McGonagall, who succeeded Dumbledore as the transfiguration instructor, this smooth Animagus transformation is considered a miraculous skill.
With superb control skills, the entire deformation process is completed in one go and extremely smooth.
Professor McGonagall was wearing her favorite plaid robe, a pointed wizard hat tilted to one side, and her hair was combed back into a tight bun.
"In view of your excessive tardiness, Mr. McLaggen, I have to deduct one point from my college." She frowned and said seriously.
Cormac McLaggen blushed and wanted to refute, but he didn't have the courage, so he had to find a seat to sit down.
Professor McGonagall returned to the podium and looked around at the freshmen in the classroom with a slightly majestic look.
"Before your classes officially begin, I want to say something up front."
The students stopped taking out textbooks from their bags and looked at her obediently.
"As most of you know, Transfiguration has magical effects."
She showed off her unique skill in a small way, turning the desk into a roaring lion and then restoring it to its original shape in an instant.
The little wizards exclaimed in unison, with envy on their faces.
"But it also means that it is accompanied by huge complexity and risks, and any small mistake may cause irreparable consequences." Professor McGonagall showed a serious look again, "If anyone dares to speak in my class If he causes trouble, he will never come into my classroom again."
Looking at the freshmen who were nodding their heads, she showed a satisfied smile, no longer tensed her face, and asked everyone to open the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration".
She first recited the content of Chapter 1, and then began to explain her own experience and understanding.
"Transfiguration is a magical discipline that objectively changes the state of an object or animal. This change is not intrinsic, but relies on magic to maintain the transformed state."
She pointed to the podium that had been changed around just now.
"There are two ways to restore them to their original state. One is the restoration spell I just used, which you will learn soon; the other is to wait for the magic power to be exhausted. The stronger the magic level of the spell-casting wizard, The longer the Transfiguration lasts.”
Professor McGonagall explained the obscure knowledge in the book in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and briefly introduced Gamp's basic deformation rules to them.
The rustle of quills across parchment could be heard in the silent classroom, as the little wizards took notes carefully.
While they were bowing their heads, Professor McGonagall turned around and wrote a basic transformation spell on the blackboard, then turned around and said: "For beginners, general spells are a very important foundation. Most advanced transformation spells are made of It evolved from the basic spell." (Private, because there are almost no transfiguration spells in Rowling's books, and it would be unrealistic if each transfiguration is a separate spell.)
"Transform quickly!" The freshmen repeated it several times under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, and then wrote the spell down in their notebooks.
"In addition to spells, the movements and gestures of waving your wand are also very important, especially for beginners like you. Now please take out your wand."
She waved her wand firmly and decisively, beckoning everyone to follow suit.
After everyone was a little familiar with the movements, she cast a hovering spell and placed a match on the table in front of everyone.
"Now is the time for practical operation. Turn the match in front of you into an embroidery needle. I will always observe your movements and make corrections at any time." Professor McGonagall said, "Don't forget to imagine it accurately in your mind. Complete look.”
The freshmen eagerly rolled up their sleeves, picked up their wands, and cleared their throats.
"Oh, by the way." Professor McGonagall suddenly interrupted, "Before you start, please ask a classmate to come to the podium to give a demonstration."
Her eyes swept across everyone's faces, and Glenn quietly lowered his head.
This kind of thing of being in the limelight in public is obviously not what a bastard who aspires to be an old silver coin should do.
But unfortunately, in a class without Harry Potter, the members of the Ollivander family are naturally the most conspicuous among the crowd.
"Mr. Ollivander, please come to me." Professor McGonagall said.
Glenn reluctantly walked up to the podium, pretending to be flattered.
"Remember what I just said, give it a try." Professor McGonagall calmed down her previous seriousness and said encouragingly.
Glenn raised his rosewood wand and chanted loudly: "Transform quickly!"
Under the influence of the spell and the guidance of the invisible power of the system, the magic power flows through the body, passes through the arm, and emanates from the tip of the staff.
The match on the podium slowly changed, becoming tapered at both ends, and finally turned into...
A toothpick.
The expression on Professor McGonagall's face was a little complicated, with a little satisfaction and a little regret.
She cast a magnifying spell on the "toothpick" and showed it to the other students.
"Mr. Ollivander did a good job, plus one point for Ravenclaw House! Although this transformation was not completely successful, he changed the match on the first try, which is already a pretty good performance."
Professor McGonagall gave Glenn a rare smile and motioned for him to return to his seat.
Glenn walked down the podium calmly, and the system prompt sounded at the right time.
The core character, Minerva McGonagall, has a friendship level of +1 and an exchange currency of +100.
"As I said, the image of the embroidery needle that Mr. Ollivander imagined in his mind was not accurate enough, so the situation you saw occurred."
"Now, please hurry up and start practicing!"
Morgana quietly blended into the crowd, looking like she hadn't woken up, and yawned widely.
