“Transfiguration is the most dangerous and complex magic you will learn at Hogwarts.”
Professor McGonagall's sharp eyes swept over all the young wizards present as she spoke:
“Anyone who dares to play tricks in my class, I will ask him to leave and never come back.”
All the young wizards sat up straight, not daring to breathe a word. Even Slytherin, who was at odds with Gryffindor, was no exception.
Professor McGonagall was satisfied with the young wizards' performance and tapped the desk with her wand, turning it into a pig.
The pig circled the classroom before returning to its original position and transforming back into a desk.
This operation caused a wave of exclamations from the young wizards below.
As a veteran professor for many years, McGonagall understood very well how to get her students excited.
Then, Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the blackboard, which had been empty, was filled with the basic theory of Transfiguration and various precautions.
“Unlike other magic, Transfiguration has no fixed incantation or casting formula. Of course, beginners can use "Transfigure" as an incantation to aid in casting.”
“Through your understanding of the essence of magic, your vast mental power, and using magic as your foundation, you can materialize things in your mind into the real world, changing the properties and structure of objects. And it must be something you have sufficient knowledge of… ”
Professor McGonagall pointed her wand at the knowledge points on the blackboard, explaining to the young wizards:
“However, Transfiguration cannot conjure food, nor can you eat food conjured by Transfiguration. Secondly, you cannot change the quantity. You can't conjure two doves from one quill. Lastly, Transfiguration is not creation out of nothing. You must have a certain medium.”
After Professor McGonagall finished explaining, the young wizards took out their quills to take notes. Even though Ethan knew all this, he still recorded it.
After the explanation, it was time for practice. Professor McGonagall gave each young wizard a matchstick, and the next task was to transform the matchstick into a needle.
Professor McGonagall didn't expect these young wizards to complete this learning in one class. It was a long process, but once completed, they would have entered the realm of Transfiguration.
The change between inanimate objects was the simplest, especially between objects of similar small size and simplicity.
“I told you to turn it into a needle, not into charcoal.”
“Calm down, focus your attention. No matter how much you poke the matchstick with your wand, it won't change.”
Professor McGonagall kept walking up and down the classroom, correcting the mistakes of each young wizard.
Especially on the Hufflepuff side, Professor McGonagall lingered for an extra long time.
“Ethan, how did you do it?”
Michael watched the matchstick in front of Ethan transform into a needle, and then continue to change between large, medium, and small sizes. He was completely shocked and exclaimed.
The two students sitting in front of him also turned around. Their matchsticks hadn't changed at all, while Ethan's had already succeeded. The gap was too big.
At this moment, they all wanted to hear what Ethan's secret was.
“The more specific your image of a needle in your mind, the easier it is to succeed. Also, control your magic. Don't set the matchstick on fire. Finally, look at what Professor McGonagall wrote on the blackboard and try again.”
“Actually, I practiced Transfiguration during the summer vacation, so I succeeded so quickly.”
As long as you understand what Professor McGonagall taught, even if you can't directly transform it into a needle, it will still change. But if you have to say exactly how it changed, it's really not easy to explain.
“Mr. Adrian, that's an excellent transformation.”
Professor McGonagall walked over to Ethan, looking at the scene in front of her and said, quite satisfied.
When she visited, she felt that Ethan had a high talent for Transfiguration, but unfortunately, he didn't come to Gryffindor.
“Five points for Ravenclaw, because of Mr. Adrian's excellent Transfiguration.”
Picking up the needle that Ethan had transformed, Professor McGonagall announced it to everyone.
In an instant, the eyes of the entire classroom turned to Ethan, and the Ravenclaw students were particularly excited, bursting into applause.
It's him again!
Yesterday's Sorting Hat fiasco, today's Transfiguration class, why does this mudblood always steal the spotlight.
Draco Malfoy glared at Ethan, but didn't dare to show it.
After all, he really couldn't beat Ethan.
He didn't dare tell his father. If he told him that he was beaten by a mudblood, such shame would be unbearable.
He also didn't dare tell the Slytherin seniors. If they knew, the Malfoy family might be ridiculed for two and a half years.
Cassandra and Hermione, on the other hand, accelerated their wand-waving speed. They both had the idea of competing with Ethan today.
Especially Cassandra, she lost the Fire Charm duel on the train yesterday, and today she was determined to surpass Ethan and win glory for Slytherin.
“Thank you, Professor!”
Ethan thanked her with a smile.
The moment Professor McGonagall gave the points, he achieved another achievement.
【Points Junkie】
Points, constantly rising points, I can do anything for higher points.
Achievement Goal: Earn points for your house once (1/1)
Achievement Reward: Transfiguration talent increase
This reward is really what I need!
Maybe it's because I earned points in Transfiguration class, so it's Transfiguration talent!
The class was only an hour long, not very long. As the end of class approached, there was a shout from the Slytherin side:
“Professor McGonagall, we Slytherin have succeeded.”
It was a young wizard's voice, filled with excitement. He was looking at Cassandra, appearing very excited. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he had succeeded.
Even though they didn't take the lead, they still surpassed Gryffindor.
Professor McGonagall walked over, a smile on her face. She didn't expect to have two young wizards succeed in the first class. She actually didn't have any prejudice against Slytherin, but it was a pity that her own house didn't have a single outstanding student.
Holding up the needle, which shimmered with silver-white light, she showed it off before announcing: “Miss Wally succeeded as well, two points for Slytherin.”
But Cassandra wasn't happy at all.
