Chapter 116
The next day, the Transfiguration class.
As usual, Argus sat in the first row and listened attentively. The few Gryffindor students who liked to sit in the first row chose to sit in the back.
Only the Slytherins still surrounded Argus.
Harry and Ron were in a more serious situation. There was no one at the tables centered on them.
Professor McGonagall was keenly aware of this and frowned deeply.
He knocked the cup on the table with his wand.
"Be quiet."
"Today, we are going to learn how to turn animals into goblets."
"Like this!"
Professor McGonagall pointed her wand at the parrot beside her.
"One, two, three!"
"Flavodo!"
The next second, the parrot pecking at the bread turned into a transparent goblet.
This attracted the exclamations of countless little wizards.
Professor McGonagall enjoyed the shocked looks of the students, and the sadness caused by the exclusion of Argus and others quietly dissipated a little.
"Now, it's your turn!"
"Who wants to demonstrate?"
"Mr. Grindelwald?"
Professor McGonagall not only cares about the students' grades, but also pays close attention to their daily lives.
Although he knew that anyone could do this kind of demonstration, he still called Argus's name.
He wanted to use this opportunity to reduce the exclusion of people around him.
When Argus saw Professor McGonagall's eyes, he immediately understood her good intentions.
He took out his wand and gently tapped his owl.
The fantasy scene appeared again.
The owl turned into a goblet in the surprised eyes of everyone.
There was also an owl pattern on the wall of the cup.
Professor McGonagall nodded in appreciation: "Excellent, Mr. Grindelwald."
"Three points for Slytherin!"
Turning to Ron, she walked up to him.
"Mr. Weasley?"
"Don't be nervous, one, two, three, Flavour!"
After Argus's casual demonstration, Ron was full of confidence.
He coughed a few times, signaling everyone to prepare to watch him show his power.
Argus looked over with interest.
If I remember correctly, Ron's mouse should be transformed by Peter Pettigrew using Animagus.
I wonder what the effect of being transformed in the Animagus state would be?
Peter Pettigrew obviously realized that something was wrong.
Squeaking and struggling to jump off the table.
Ron held him down!
"Be quiet, Scabbers!"
Worried that he would continue to run around, Ron even held down his tail with a few books.
Take two deep breaths to relieve tension.
Ron took his wand tied with tape and began to perform Transfiguration according to Professor McGonagall's instructions.
"One, two, three, Flavourdo!"
A green light flashed, and the mouse changed in response.
However... the degree of change seemed to be different from what everyone imagined.
The goblet was completed, but the cup was made of mouse fur, and a thin mouse tail was pressed under the book and kept twisting.
It made people extremely uncomfortable.
"Puff!"
Harry couldn't help laughing out loud, and with his start, the whole classroom was filled with laughter.
Ron's face was almost the same color as his hair.
"Okay, don't laugh!" Professor McGonagall didn't expect Ron to be unable to do such a simple magic.
The extra points that were originally prepared were held back.
She was not Snape, and she couldn't do such a blatant biased thing.
She sighed softly.
"Mr. Weasley, maybe you should consider changing your wand."
"Professor McGonagall!"
A voice suddenly sounded, and Professor McGonagall looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw Seamus raised his hand, looking at Harry and Ron with fear in his eyes.
"I want to know, what is the matter with the Chamber of Secrets and the heir of Slytherin?"
"Is he... in our school?"
This question completely broke the silence of the classroom.
Many people looked at Agus and the other two with horror.
Among them, Agus and Harry were particularly concerned!
Needless to say, Agus is the head of Slytherin and the most talented wizard they have ever seen.
Perfect in every aspect.
Except for flying class.
It can be said that if Slytherin really wants to find an heir, Agus is definitely the first choice.
The reason why Harry was suspected was that at the sorting ceremony, the sorting hat had said that Harry was suitable for Slytherin.
Wanted to sort him into Slytherin College.
The classroom fell into silence.
"Okay."
Professor McGonagall
He glanced at Seamus and walked slowly to the podium.
"I think this matter should not be hidden from you."
"As everyone knows, the history of Hogwarts was founded by four founders more than a thousand years ago."
"Three of them get along very well, only Slytherin's ideas differ from the other three."
"He thinks that only wizards with pure blood, that is, pure blood, are qualified to learn magic."
As soon as this was said, there was an uproar at the scene.
After all, most of the current Hogwarts are mixed-blood, and even their parents are Muggles.
According to Slytherin's logic, they don't even have the qualifications to step into the door of Hogwarts.
"Before he left, he left a secret room. It is said that there is a terrible monster in the secret room."
"Only the heir of Slytherin can open it."
"The moment the door is opened, it means the start of the cleansing."
"Such a terrible monster, has Hogwarts never searched for anything?" A little wizard from Gryffindor asked.
Professor McGonagall patiently answered: "Hogwarts has tried to search this secret room more than once. Unfortunately, this secret room seems to not exist, and we have not found any trace."
After saying this, Professor McGonagall brought the topic back to the classroom.
A class ended with countless people feeling uneasy.
In Argus's original plan, he should go to the Room of Requirement to find the Ravenclaw's crown at this moment.
But now, countless people's eyes are focused on him.
If he disappears from everyone's sight for a long time, he will probably arouse suspicion again.
Although he is not afraid of these, he does not want to attract firepower for Harry in vain.
Anyway, it won't be long before Harry's Parseltongue will be exposed, and the people who pay attention to him will naturally disappear at that time.
...
Two days later.
Quidditch field.
The enthusiasm of Quidditch seems to have dispersed the bloody haze that shrouded everyone's heads in one fell swoop.
Countless people are cheering and shouting.
The school professors also attach great importance to it and want to use this Quidditch game to divert the attention of the little wizards.
Except for Professor Flitwick who was responsible for staying in the castle to deal with some possible troubles, all other professors were present.
Even Dumbledore walked out of the principal's office after a long absence.
Agus had sharp eyes and saw Lucius sitting in the professor's seat at a glance.
He found that the other party was looking at him, and smiled and nodded in response.
But...
In a trance, he seemed to feel a flash of space fluctuations passing by.
