"Ah-ha-"

The next morning, at the Hufflepuff dining table, Maka yawned and stuffed slices of white bread into her mouth sleepily, even forgetting to spread the jam. The school uniform robe she was wearing was also crooked.

, it looked like he had put it on casually, and his sloppy appearance was a bit inconsistent with his usual neat style.

"Hey, junior, why are you so sleepy? Didn't you sleep last night?" The carefree senior Charlotte obviously doesn't care about how other people dress - although she herself is always beautifully dressed.

"Well...yeah, a little bit." Maka nodded listlessly, her eyelids drooping, as if she would fall into sleep the next moment.

"Which little girl are you thinking of?" Senior Sister Charlotte took the opportunity to joke.

"Well, I was thinking about you, ha--" Maka answered instinctively, and yawned again after saying that.

Miss Charlotte obviously didn't expect that this guy could counterattack quickly even when he was half asleep, and she couldn't help but show a look of "I've convinced you" on her face.

"Okay! Wake up quickly, class will start soon." She raised her hand and slapped Maka on the back with all her strength. Maka was so shocked that she jumped up, including the bread in her mouth.

All fell on the dining table.

"Senior, you don't have to be so cruel, right?" Maka bared his teeth and felt that there must be a red slap mark on his back.

Just then, the owls arrived.

Maka raised her head and watched the large group of owls flying in the restaurant, throwing their respective packages or letters into the recipient's lap.

"Speaking of which, my Malfurion stays in the dormitory all day long (he doesn't even want to go to the school's owl house). Apart from eating and sleeping, he has hardly been used for anything!" Maka patted her head in realization.

Thigh, "Then why should I buy it? It seems I need to find something to do for it..."

Just when Maka was thinking about letting her own owl go out for a walk, a black shadow flew past the door of the restaurant, scaring the other owls away.

"Ah?" Maka heard the sound and raised her head again, only to see her own owl Mafa swooping towards her, and then like a bomber, she dropped a large package on the open space behind Maka, making a "boom"

"A loud noise.

"Gu." Mafa yelled, then dropped to the dining table and pecked another piece of bread from Maka's plate.

"Is this the owl you raised?" Senior Sister Charlotte stared at Marfa curiously, "It's really strong. I want to keep one like this too. Where did you buy it?"

"The 'Giant Spider' of Knockturn Alley," Maka replied casually, pulling out a list from the package, "Oh, the book I ordered from Flourish and Blotts has arrived."

A few days before school started, Maka made a special trip to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to order some books on potions and herbalism. Although the books he ordered can be found in the library,

You won't be allowed to doodle on library books.

Charlotte leaned over and took a few glances, and then said in surprise: "Junior brother, are you planning to complete all the courses at Hogwarts in the first grade?"

Maka stuffed the book list into the package, and while talking about how it was possible, she picked up the big package and walked to the lounge - he had to put these books back in the dormitory before class.

As they passed the Gryffindor House table, Harry called out to Maka.

"Hey, Maka! Hagrid asked me to go to his place for tea, will you go?" He waved the note in his hand and asked Maka.

"When?" Maka said.

"This afternoon, around three o'clock!" Harry replied.

"I have class in the afternoon. Say hello to Hagrid for me. I will change the time to see him."

Harry nodded, then leaned on the table and wrote something on the back of the note, then handed it to Hedwig to send away.

This morning was Hufflepuff's first Transfiguration lesson.

The professor of Transfiguration is Minerva McGonagall, who, like Snape, is a strict tutor.

But unlike Snape, Professor McGonagall treats all four houses equally, and she will severely punish any student who violates school rules.

Therefore, although most students are afraid of this senior female professor who always has a straight face, they are in full-fledged awe.

I believe that there are definitely not a few students who respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

Professor McGonagall's teaching methods have always been concise and effective. As soon as the class started, she gave all the students here a slap in the face.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you have at Hogwarts." She said, "Anyone who tries to cause trouble in my class will be asked to leave and will never be allowed to come in again. This

I have said these words to every new student in the class, and I hope you will keep them in mind as a warning."

Then she transformed her desk into an elk and back again.

Most of them were attracted by this magical magic, and naturally they were one by one. In fact, Maka is probably the one who can best understand the difficulty among the students here. He had learned it from "Beginner" before this.

Learned about this in the Transfiguration Guide.

So far, Maka has read several textbooks required by the school, and among them, he thinks the most difficult one is probably the current course.

The difficulty of transfiguration does not only depend on the wizard's study of its principles. This is just a starting point. To be truly proficient in using transfiguration, the biggest difficulty lies in a thorough understanding of the properties of the objects before and after the transformation.

Wizards who learn transfiguration must not only study the physical properties of objects in depth, but also have the highest possible understanding and control of the magical properties of objects - this is very complex and profound, and can be said to be endless.

For example, if a beginner wizard can turn a match into a sewing needle of about the same size; then, a transfiguration master can turn the match into various models, materials and even textures.

And maintain it for hundreds of years!

Of course, apart from the gap in accuracy and consumption, the biggest difference lies in the understanding of it.

This is a long-term study course that is quite time-consuming, and Maka discovered that there are no shortcuts in it, and it can only be accumulated through daily study and research.

In class, Maka turned a feather assigned to him into a lump of metal. He didn't control the shape of the object very well, but Professor McGonagall still nodded at him - for beginners

To say that it can produce qualitative changes in objects is already an extremely good performance.

In the afternoon, there was another drowsy history of magic class. Professor Binns always used his monotonous tone to talk about boring major historical events in the magic world. It was completely boring*

The brilliant teaching method makes almost all students lose interest in this course.

But Maca listened with great interest because he discovered that what Professor Binns taught was not actually written from the book, but was organized in a very orderly manner, and occasionally there were some contents that were missed in the textbook.

I believe that this respected and only ghost professor at Hogwarts carefully prepares his lessons every night.

Of course, this may be because the ghost doesn't need to sleep at all, which gives him a lot of extra time. If he doesn't do something, he will definitely be so bored that he wants to die again.

"I heard that Professor Binns was the History of Magic professor at Hogwarts during his lifetime, until one day when he came to teach, he accidentally forgot his body." Ernie sat next to Maka.

Said quietly.

"As you said, Professor Binns not only devoted the rest of his life to teaching, but also continued to maintain this extremely difficult persistence even after his death." Maka nodded and said.

"Listen to what you said, it's true!"

Ernie was stunned for a moment and realized that this seemed to be the case. He couldn't help but straighten his back and listen to the class seriously, but he fell down again after a while - the class itself was really boring.

The History of Magic course might be extremely difficult for other students, but Maka felt that time passed in the blink of an eye.

"Maka, where are you going? Why don't you go to the lounge and play wizard chess for a while?" Ernie said a little surprised.

The History of Magic classroom is on the second floor. The little badgers in the dormitory were all exchanging gossip information with each other while walking downstairs. Only Maka was stepping up the stairs.

"Oh, I have to go to the library. I need to look up some information." Maka turned around and said, without stopping, and soon disappeared from Ernie's sight along the automatically turning stairs.

The library located on the fifth floor of the main castle of Hogwarts is a huge library with a huge collection of books.

Here, you can find almost all kinds of magic books that are currently being released on the market or have been released in the past. Of course, there is a large area here that is the so-called "** area". If there is no principal or

The librarian was Mrs. Pince, a thin, old and irritable woman who looked like an old buzzard grumpy because of hunger.

She regards the books in the library as her life and will drive out any students who try to modify or destroy the books. In her opinion, these precious books are her forbidden books. If possible, no one should come in.

it's the best.

It was just after the end of get out of class, and there were only a few first-year Gryffindors in the library - their house had no classes scheduled for this afternoon.

"...magical creatures...magical creatures...are here!"

Maka stood on tiptoe and pulled out a book titled "Habits and Origin of Humanoid Magical Creatures" from the high bookshelf, and immediately stood there and started flipping through the pages.
