"Transfiguration has many applications in actual combat, such as changing the combat environment or directly transforming the enemy."

Professor McGonagall walked quickly in the corridor of the castle.

Deveraux jogged behind to catch up.

"But the most commonly used, but also the most difficult, is to transform stone statues into soldiers."

"This kind of transfiguration needs years of accumulation to work in actual combat, which not only refers to the accumulation of spell cultivation."

Professor McGonagall came to a wall on the second floor of the castle.

Gently flicked the wall lamp that was not lit.

Suddenly.

The wall in front of him disappeared directly.

A low secret passage was revealed.

Deveraux looked at the appearance of the secret passage.

Extremely shocked.

There is no mention of such a secret passage in the original book.

And it was Professor McGonagall who knew it.

It seems that the exploration of Hogwarts Castle is really a long way to go.

Then the two walked into a low secret passage.

Professor McGonagall had to bend down to pass through it.

And Deveraux just did.

"The so-called accumulation is more reflected in your preparation of the transformation materials. You can't expect a quilt to have strong combat power under your transformation blessing."

At this time, Professor McGonagall turned around and smiled.

"Of course, if you have extremely abundant magic power, the transformation material is actually not that important."

Deveraux nodded slightly.

But he was skeptical about the professor's statement that the quilt had no lethality.

Listen to other Slytherins.

Goyle's quilt was only used for a week.

It exuded an extremely terrifying smell.

Living with him is like being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse all the time.

As a beam of light shone into the passage in front of him.

Deveraux felt that his eyes were suddenly clear.

"We are here."

Professor McGonagall raised her hand and waved.

"Fluorescent flashing!"

The entire secret room was illuminated by a soft blue-white light.

The space of this secret room is amazing.

It is at least as big as ten lecture halls.

The height is amazing.

The towering dome makes it almost impossible to see its top.

It is totally unimaginable that there is such a large structure in this castle.

What Devereux really wants to complain about is the structure of the Hogwarts castle.

It is totally inconsistent with the logic of reality.

It caused great trouble for him in the process of exploring the castle.

Various complex runes are engraved on the ancient stone walls.

Dozens of holes of different sizes have been cleverly dug out on the four walls of the secret room.

In each hole stands a lifelike stone statue.

These stone statues are not only of different shapes.

They hold different weapons from long swords to bows and arrows.

Some even ride horses.

Just like the Knights of the Middle Ages.

Quietly guarding this mysterious place.

"These statues are the result of the careful crafting and magic of successive headmasters and powerful wizards over hundreds of years to defend against potential threats at Hogwarts."

McGreg explained seriously.

The voice echoed in the empty hall.

"Each of them is made of special stone, with strong plasticity and powerful strength, and has a very strong resistance to the spells of ordinary wizards. For a freshman like you, even if you use the strongest attack spell, at most you can only make a little dust fall off their surface."

"So, I will use them to show you the application of Transfiguration in battle."

Said.

Professor McGonagall waved her wand at a wall.

Reciting a complex spell.

The whole secret room was shaken.

Then the wand was waved again.

"Stone Pillars Move!"

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

As Professor McGonagall waved her wand.

Those originally motionless stone statues seemed to be injected with life.

The body trembled slightly.

They lined up in a certain order.

Every step was accompanied by dust flying.

But the strange thing was.

The dust did not spread everywhere.

Instead, it turned into tiny spots of light.

After hovering in the air for a while.

Slowly dissipated.

Leaving a clean and tidy ground.

[Ding! ]

[New spells have been stored! ]

Deverot stood aside.

Watching all this in amazement.

Although I have seen Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore manipulating stone statues several times in the book before.

But it was still extremely shocking to see it in person.

This is equivalent to Hogwarts having a huge army!

"No wonder Ron can play real wizard chess, this family is really rich."

Deverot complained in his heart while looking at his new spells.

"Now, let's see how they work.Real effect. "

Professor McGonagall waved her wand again.

She chanted a complicated spell.

Finally.

"Stone Pillar, protect us! "

Instantly.

These stone statues moved quickly.

Some held long swords.

Some waved shields.

They formed a tight defensive formation in the secret room.

Deverot could even feel the powerful magic fluctuations emanating from these stone statues.

Professor McGonagall turned around.

She was very satisfied to see Deverot's shocked expression.

Another purpose of her trip was to make Deverot give up on Transfiguration.

Although Deverot's talent in Transfiguration was relatively good among young wizards.

But his talent was not to the extent that he could achieve something in this field.

It was a level that could be seen several times every year.

It was obvious that he was better at spells and potions.

Then I must persuade Deverot to take the path that I was better at.

"Deverot, now you can try to cast this spell on one of the stone statues."

Professor McGonagall turned her head and looked at him with encouragement in her eyes.

"Of course, before that, a small ceremony is required. "

Professor McGonagall said seriously.

"In the name of Hogwarts, I grant you the status of a knight. May you remember the oath today, be loyal and brave, defend justice, and protect the weak."

Then he gently touched Deveraux's right shoulder with the wand in his hand and said.

"With my power, I give you courage."

Then he turned to the left shoulder and continued.

"With my wisdom, I give you judgment."

Every word is full of meaning.

It seems that every touch can inject new power and wisdom into Deveraux.

Then Professor McGonagall smiled slightly.

"Now, Deveraux Alexander, you are a knight recognized by Hogwarts."

Deveraux looked confused.

Touched his body.

It seems that there is no change?

"This ceremony is necessary. Only by voluntarily becoming the protector of the castle and the students can the castle's protective magic be driven."

Professor McGonagall explained.

"Remember, don't worry about failure. This is a learning process. "

Of course, McGonagall certainly didn't expect Deveraux to succeed.

After all, even she had only mastered this spell after a whole day of study.

Finally, she was able to successfully drive these statues under the guidance of Dumbledore.

It took nearly a week to succeed.

Although her progress was slow because of the complexity of the spell.

About the control structure of the transformation.

She understood it at once.

So even if Deveraux had mastered the spell.

But due to the imperfect mastery of the transformation structure.

The spell would eventually fail.

With the encouragement of Professor McGonagall.

Deveraux nodded slightly.

Rehearsed it again in his mind.

Exhaled slowly.

Took a step towards the stone pillar on the other wall.

Flashed the wand.

Recited the complicated spell.

Finally waved the wand again.

"Stone pillars, move! "

Professor McGonagall listened to Deveraux reciting the spell.

She nodded in appreciation.

"Well, his talent in spells is really amazing. If he is given Flitwick's guidance, he will definitely achieve something."

But her expression froze the next second.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The stone pillar on the wall where Deveraux's wand was pointing began to tremble.

They walked out of the stone cave in an orderly manner.

"Ah? What's going on? !"
