Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

"Is this really your first time playing Wizard Chess?"Marcos' eyes widened in disbelief.

A few seconds ago, Marcos's white king was viciously chopped to the ground by Paz's black knight, and he lost the second game cleanly.

"I have played similar chess before. The rules for playing chess are pretty much the same."Paz said calmly.

Wizard chess is exactly the same as Muggle chess, but its pieces are all alive. Using passwords to order it to act will make people feel more like commanding an army to fight, but usually when you are nervous, you can't even use passwords. They might have mispronounced it.

Marcos and Eddie looked at each other and were speechless. They originally wanted to use Paz's early stage of wizard chess to beat him, but it didn't take long before the king was severely beaten. He fell to the ground.

If he didn't have to think at first, but he became more and more proficient in the end, neither of them would have believed that this was his first time playing wizard chess.

"Lost?"Marietta looked at the dejected two people and couldn't help but shook her head, it was her own fault!

"Marcos, are you going to let it slip on purpose?"A group of little wizards nearby who wanted to see Paz lose the game were quite disappointed.

"Otherwise, how about you play the next game?"Marcos smiled gently at the senior student.

"I remembered, I still have homework today."The senior found a reason and slipped away.

"snort!"Marcos snorted in his heart. He labeled the other person as a waste. He hated those guys who could only point fingers but didn't dare to do anything.

However, Marcos didn't expect that Paz would actually master it in minutes. I tortured him in wizard chess and played it more smoothly than him. It was really shocking. Is the gap so big?

"Lannister, Professor McGonagall gave it to you."A senior student handed a note to Paz, looked him up and down, and then turned around and left.

"What does Professor McGonagall want from you?"Eddie asked curiously

"Metamorphosis Club"

"when?"

"Tomorrow afternoon. Paz put away the parchment and said,"I have something else to do. I'll leave first. You can continue.""

"No, let's play another game."Marcos took Paz's hand and said firmly:"The last set."

A few minutes later

"Let's face it, that's the difference, the Lannister can already crush you at wizard chess."Marietta looked at Marcos with sympathy. The poor guy was completely crushed in five minutes.

"I will never play chess with him again in the future."Marcos gave an ugly smile.

"I do not know either!"Eddie said in his heart

"a wise decision"

……

The next afternoon, Paz came to the Transfiguration Club classroom. Several senior students had already arrived and were setting up the sofa in a semi-arc shape.

"Good afternoon Lannister."A Hufflepuff student greeted Paz.

"Good afternoon, Diggory. Paz asked casually:"What is today's topic?""

"It should be a conversion spell! Digory shook his head and said

"Well, it's still a transformation spell, converting the inanimate into the animate, which is still a bit difficult for us junior students. Penello said to the two of them:"Good afternoon, Weasley.""

"Good afternoon everyone, I hope I'm not too late."Weasley smiled and greeted everyone.

"Professor McGonagall is not here yet?"Higgs asked doubtfully.

"Should be arriving soon"

"good afternoon."Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom and greeted everyone,"This time we are still learning the transformation spell. What is it Mr. Lannister?"

"Wizard's chess also uses transformation spells, right? asked Paz.

"Yes, Mr. Lannister, you are right. Wizard chess does use similar magic. Wizard chess is usually made by wizards who are good at transformation. Professor McGonagall nodded and said,"In fact, I know a wizard who made wizard chess.""

"The armor and statues at Hogwarts actually have a similar effect, right?

At this moment, everyone looked at Paz, and then at Professor McGonagall. They seemed to have heard some secret.

"That's very perceptive. You are right Mr. Lannister. These knight armors and statues actually have a similar effect. They are the soldiers who protect Hogwarts."Professor McGonagall actually nodded and admitted,"However, you can't use them if it's not necessary, although I personally really want to try the spell."

"Really?"Everyone was very surprised

"It's true. When these stone statues encounter a crisis in Hogwarts, you can use a spell to make them come out to defend against the enemy. This is a very clever spell. Of course, this matter cannot be told, do you understand? If I find out that any of you are spreading rumors outside, I will put him in confinement for a month."

Several people looked at each other and finally stopped discussing the matter.

"Okay, our project this time is to make a wizard chess piece. Who comes first?"Professor McGonagall placed a piece of wood at everyone's feet, raised his head and glanced around the students and said,"Mr. Diggory"

"Good professor! Cedric raised his wand and transfigured the piece of wood, turning it into a stone.

"It's your turn Higgs!"

The stone began to move under everyone's feet and stopped at the feet of Terrence Higgs.

This Slytherin easily turned the stone into a model of chess pieces. Although it was very rough, he actually did a good job.

"Weasley, it's your turn!"As Professor McGonagall watched, the model of the knight came to Percy Weasley's feet. He raised his wand and deformed the stone to make him look more detailed.

"Penello."

The Ravenclaw witch raised her wand and tapped the chess piece lightly, and the chess piece suddenly started to tap dance.

"Oh, Miss Penello, okay……"Professor McGonagall shook her head helplessly, and the chess pieces rotated at the feet of other students. Each time, it gets further refined.

Now, he has turned into an iron knight's armor

……Mr. Lannister!

"Good professor!"Paz used his wand to cast a spell on the knight's armor. The chess piece that was turning somersaults suddenly stopped, and gradually became life-size.

He was waving the knight's sword in the classroom, looking like a heroic knight.

"I thought a giant wizard's chess game would be fun."Paz said

"Excellent idea, Mr. Lannister, but we don't have enough time. Of course, if you are interested, we can talk about this topic next time."Professor McGonagall clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention,"Now, let's summarize the transformation magic just used.……"
