Chapter 20 Performance in Transfiguration Class
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
Draco was stunned, not only him, but everyone else in the classroom was also stunned.
What no one noticed was that the pupils of the cat on the podium also shrank slightly, as if someone had stepped on its tail.
None of them thought that Aaron would do this for a Gryffindor girl. This was a favor given in the name of the family.
If this favor is used well, it can even play a considerable role in the future. The favor of a family of hidden magicians is not just for fun.
"How about it, do you agree to make this bet with me?" Aaron asked confidently, he was sure that Draco could not refuse.
"Agreed, how could you disagree?
But, Aaron, are you serious? "
"I believe in my vision, Hermione's background may not be noble, but she is definitely the best wizard I have ever seen.
But before the end of this term, I ask you to show some respect to Hermione, which you can always do! "
"Okay, no problem." Draco said happily.
After finishing Draco, Aaron walked up to Hermione, "Now you can calm down! I gave you a chance to prove yourself openly."
"Yeah!" Hermione nodded, and asked a little nervously: "In case I let you down, I mean in case I lose..."
"You won't lose. You may only be a little weaker than me in terms of learning."
"What if?" Hermione said, it was the first time in her life that she had doubts about her abilities.
"Don't worry about this, even if you lose, Draco will restrain himself a lot, at least he won't use the word 'mudblood' casually to insult people.
As for the favor of the family, it doesn't matter, Malfoy sees the situation better than anyone else, and they will not make any demands that are difficult for others. "
"Thank you," said Hermione, blushing, and handed Abe back to Aaron.
"Draco is actually not a bad person. It's just that his father has instilled too many thoughts related to bloodlines since he was a child, so he may be a little domineering. I don't think he can change it for a while. I hope you don't mind."
After Aaron finished speaking, he walked up to another Gryffindor, "This classmate, what's your name?"
"Susan Bones." The girl blushed slightly and said with some embarrassment.
"Okay! I don't want this bet to be known by others, you should be able to keep it a secret!"
Susan kept nodding, indicating that she would never speak out.
"Thanks."
As the time passed by, the students gradually arrived in the classroom and opened the books to start self-study. The strange thing is that Professor McGonagall did not appear even when it was class time.
At this time, the classroom door was suddenly opened, and Harry and Ron ran in in a panic.
"It's finally here. If she came a little later, her face would be terrifying." Ron said happily.
The moment the voice fell, a cat on the podium jumped down and turned into Professor McGonagall in a green robe.
She walked straight up to the two of them, and looked at the two late students playfully.
"This move is really clever." Ron said in a daze. He didn't know if he meant Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration or using Transfiguration to block them.
"Thank you for your comment, Mr Weasley.
Maybe I should turn Mr. Potter and you into a pocket watch, so at least one of you can keep time. "
"We're lost," said Harry.
"Then it will become a map." Professor McGonagall said bluntly, "You don't need a map in your seat!"
The two looked at each other and smiled wryly, then sat on an empty table.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start class.
Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous form of magic you will study at Hogwarts. said Professor McGonagall, and she gave Ron and Harry a glare. "Anyone who misbehaves in my class I'll ask him out and never let him in again." "
Aaron's face was a little weird, and so were Draco, Hermione and others. After all, although there was no problem with the bet between them, it would be different if there was one more professor in the know. At least the pressure on both parties would be greater.
"Professor, that..." Aaron hesitated, hesitant to speak.
"I don't know what happened before the class, do you understand the matter between you?" Professor McGonagall said with a smile.
"Understood." Aaron nodded, relieved.
Professor McGonagall began to give a lecture. Magic is not just waving a wand and chanting a spell.
She talked about the theory for a long time, and checked the notes of a few students by the way. After confirming that there was no problem, she began to experiment with the transfiguration technique.
Professor McGonagall waved his magic wand lightly, and the matchbox on the lecture table was opened, and the matches inside flew onto the desks of every student.
"Try it, everyone, and see if you can turn this match into a needle before get out of class is over."
After the words fell, every student drew out their wands, eager to try.
But the effect was not as good as they thought. Most people's matches didn't move.
Hermione tried several times in a row, and the match gradually turned into a toothpick. Although it was a bit nondescript, at least it changed the match.
"Very good, Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall praised.
Draco glanced at Hermione, a flash of stubbornness in his eyes, and swung his wand even harder.
The match quickly changed, and the tail began to sharpen, but before he could be happy, the tip of the match began to smoke, and a small flame suddenly lit up, and then quickly extinguished.
"Mr. Malfoy, your performance is not bad, but it would be even better if you can control your emotions a little bit." Professor McGonagall smiled.
Draco didn't speak, just stared at the match that was almost a quarter burned and sighed deeply.
He has tried his best, at least better than most of the students including Harry Potter, but he also understands that he probably won't be able to beat Granger, a Mudblood, in terms of Transfiguration, but there are other things, There are so many courses in the school, he doesn't believe that he will be compared with a little girl everywhere.
At this time, he noticed another match on the table, and looked at Aaron who was teasing the cat with some surprise, "Don't you try it?"
"Sorry, I just saw your hard work." Aaron waved his wand lightly, and lightly tapped on the match.
The next moment, the shape of the match changed, the two sides began to sharpen rapidly, the middle also rapidly shrunk, and there was a small needle eye at the end.
Although it is still made of wood, it can still be regarded as a wooden needle.
"You...this...is amazing, you succeeded once." Draco said incoherently.
Professor McGonagall came over when she heard the movement, and when she saw the wooden needle on the table, she showed a happy expression, "It seems that Slytherin has received a very talented student this year.
Aaron Gaius?Slytherin plus five points. "
Professor McGonagall's voice was so clear that everyone in the classroom could hear it, and they all looked at Aaron enviously.
"Thank you professor, but can you teach me how to make it into iron?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. I believe in your talent, but it's not something a freshman should do." Professor McGonagall smiled, and then turned the wooden needle into a match again. "Before that, you need to change the object first. You need to master the magic of appearance thoroughly, so keep practicing!"
"Okay!" Aaron nodded regretfully, then waved his wand again, turned the match into a wooden chicken leg, and threw it in front of the pet.
Abe became excited immediately, jumped to the chicken leg, and sniffed it with his nose.
Snapped!
After a while, Abe showed an angry expression, and a white dragon claw patted the chicken leg straight into its original shape, leaving a shallow paw print on the table.
"Wow!" Professor McGonagall looked at this scene in astonishment, "I think I may have to take back what I just said, Mr. Gaius, you have already started in Transfiguration.
but..."
Professor McGonagall pointed at Abe, who was harmless to humans and animals, and even grinned in pain because of excessive force when he slapped the table, "Are you sure it's just an ordinary cat?"
"Eh..." Aaron immediately hugged Abe in his arms, "Of course, I'm very sure."
What no one noticed was that the pupils of the cat on the podium also shrank slightly, as if someone had stepped on its tail.
None of them thought that Aaron would do this for a Gryffindor girl. This was a favor given in the name of the family.
