Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

"I didn't expect that..."

"Indeed, such a good thing can actually be our turn?"

"To be precise, it is the turn of the top students who are ranked high. It should have nothing to do with us..."

"You can't say for sure. Everyone has their own strengths. What if the field that a professor needs happens to have the one I'm best at? Once such a heavyweight project is added to a resume, it can be compared to a professor's letter of recommendation. It’s very useful. Looking for related jobs in the future must not be treated like playing..."

It is now the afternoon of the first day of school, and most students have already completed at least two major classes. In the process, the newly promoted fourth-year students this year were surprised to discover something - that is, the professors actually began to recruit assistants among them to assist in research.

In fact, speaking from experience, the fourth grade is indeed the baseline grade for becoming an assistant - the third grade has too little knowledge, the fifth grade is busy with the OLS exam, and the seventh grade is extremely busy while preparing for the Newt exam and having to go out for internships. As a result, the task of helping professors naturally fell on the fourth and sixth graders.

But in fact, there are very few opportunities to get their turn, because generally speaking, sixth-grade students are enough, and the sixth-grade students who have experienced the baptism of the OWS exam are obviously several grades better than the fourth-grade students, so Professors are also generally reluctant to recruit fourth-year students unless there is a severe shortage of staff, such as this year.

The emergence of a complete basilisk has almost opened up a whole new field of research. Its thousand-year lifespan, dangerous evil eyes, unique venom, powerful magic resistance, unprecedented body tissue and outrageous birth method are all... People have provided excellent research materials; and as the Hogwarts professors who have almost exclusive access to all the basilisk materials, they spend almost all their time on the basilisk outside of lectures and correcting homework. The scale of the experiment It will naturally expand accordingly...

For example, in the fourth grade herbal medicine class this morning, Professor Sprout gave them three places to enter the secret room with her to investigate the living environment of the basilisk, collect metabolites for further research, and even three galleons. reward!

And just when the students were preparing to rush to review relevant knowledge in order to add glory to their resumes, Professor Flitwick actually began to recruit people from the fourth grade to test the basilisk nerves for various magics. reaction; even Professor Binns began to organize people and planned to conduct a detailed inspection of the secret room - I heard that he was so excited when he saw the secret room for the first time that he almost disappeared on the spot. God knows how he could be such a big ghost. enthusiasm……

Now, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are sitting in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class with great anticipation.

"Welcome everyone back to my class. I have finished reading the holiday homework. Everyone did a good job, especially when something like that happened last year..."

Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and even showed a rare mysterious smile: "I now have good news and bad news to announce - according to past experience, you will definitely want to hear the bad news first, then I’ll just say it.”

"The bad news is: what you have to master this year - giving intelligence to transformed objects, is the most important foundation of advanced transformation, and it is also the most difficult point in the difficulty. Almost all students who failed the Transformation Owls exam fell here. Above... So, in the Transfiguration class, the pressure you will face this year is no less than that of fifth grade."

"hiss--"

There was a gasp of air in the classroom.

"And the good news is,"

Professor McGonagall continued happily: "At the beginning of next year - that is, in the second half of your semester, I will conduct a large-scale experiment to study the reference significance of the basilisk's brain structure in building an intelligent mind. Now I just need an assistant. . If any of you can master this year's knowledge to my satisfaction, you may be able to participate..."

"and,"

She added in time before the cheers started: "Because the work this position is responsible for is quite heavy and important, it is qualified to sign the final paper..."

After the last word was dragged out, the classroom suddenly fell into dead silence.

Then the next second - like pouring cold water on a red-hot iron plate, the pot exploded!

"Wow!!"

"true and false?!"

"Did I hear correctly? Fourth-year students are eligible to sign Professor McGonagall's paper?!"

"Merlin, sir..."

Amidst shouting and screaming, all the students in the classroom were caught off guard and knocked unconscious by the cake falling from the sky. And the Ravenclaw side almost turned into a monkey mountain, and some people even fell directly to the ground and crawled in the dark...

No wonder they were so excited - that was Professor McGonagall's paper!

Even looking at the entire international community, Minerva McGonagall is an authority in the field of transfiguration! And the gold content of papers in the recently popular field of basilisks is also top-notch... Being able to sign Professor McGonagall's paper on basilisks research, even if the final research results are not outstanding, the impact on a student's future is unimaginable!

However, while the vast majority of the students were shouting excitedly and almost made an unbreakable vow to learn the art of transformation, some were quite calm - including Avada.

‘Professor McGonagall is a pure talent hunter… This kind of position is enough for the best seventh-year students to put down their internships and come back to participate in research, and studying the brain itself also requires a deep foundation in psychomechanics. In other words, if you want to get this position in the fourth grade, you need to raise your level of transfiguration and psychodynamics to the level of a top seventh grader within half a year. ’

He thought calmly: 'Maybe she just wants to use this to inspire students to learn the art of transfiguration. And she deliberately didn’t remind us of the fact that we need to compete with the top students in grades six and seven, probably because she was afraid that we would give up...'

‘Hey wait, I seem to be suitable for this position? ? ? ’

Avada was shocked and realized that things didn't seem simple.

He wasn't joking - needless to say about psychodynamics, his results were personally certified by the Dark Lord; and in terms of transformation, he stared at two Animagus for four years under his magic senses. , even if he didn't take the initiative to delve into it, he already had quite a profound understanding. What's more, he also conducted key research on the transformation technique for his plan during the last summer vacation, and also applied for the basilisk's brain slices in advance...

‘It seems that my application for brain biopsy was approved by Professor McGonagall? Could she know something? ’

Avada scratched her head, also hesitating whether to participate in Professor McGonagall's project...

‘It depends on the progress of werewolf research and Black’s side. ’

He finally gritted his teeth and said: 'If things go well and at least one can be completed before Christmas, then try to apply for Professor McGonagall's project! ’
