Study Days at Hogwarts

In the afternoon, the new Gryffindor students still had their Transfiguration class with Ravenclaw.

Before the first class, Professor McGonagall gave everyone a warning with a straight face:

Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will learn at Hogwarts. Anyone who dares to be naughty in my class will be asked to leave and will never be allowed to come in again.

This bluffing speech, coupled with Professor McGonagall's stern face, immediately calmed the eleven-year-old students, and the classroom instantly became dead silent.

In fact, the teaching methods of Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are almost the same. She turns the desk into a pig and then back again.

This scene quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they all wanted to start learning the art of transformation right away.

Gryffindor students who have just taken Charms class know that it will take a long time to turn furniture into animals.

Sure enough, after class, Professor McGonagall began to talk about the theory of transformation, and they took down a lot of complicated notes.

Albert opened his skill list, and as expected, the theory of transformation appeared again. He spent 98 experience points to upgrade the theory of transformation to level 1.

From the beginning, he had been staring at the contents of the "Beginner's Guide to Transformation", pretending that he was reading the book seriously, but in fact he was checking out the extra knowledge of transformation theory in his head.

After the theoretical explanation, Professor McGonagall began to distribute a match to each of them, and began to let everyone try to turn the match into a needle.

"Mr. Anderson?" Professor McGonagall stared at the dazed boy and frowned slightly. She still has an impression of this boy. After all, anyone who sees someone tearing down their office door will still remember it fresh, not to mention how long it has been.

"Um. Professor, what's the matter?" Albert immediately came back to his senses and looked at Professor McGonagall with a confused look on his face.

"Everyone is practicing Transfiguration, why don't you try it?" Professor McGonagall looked past Albert and towards Fred next door, "Mr. Weasley, if I were you, before chanting the spell Will focus.”

Fred looked innocent, but Professor McGonagall was standing next to him, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Albert glanced at Fred and began to lie with his eyes open, "I just think there are some important things that should be remembered before waving the wand."

However, Professor McGonagall did not intend to leave immediately. Instead, she withdrew her gaze and continued to stare at Albert, preparing to watch him cast a spell.

"Ahem!" Albert coughed lightly, raised his wand and pointed it at the match on the table, while chanting: "Vera Verto."

The match quickly changed and turned into a slender silver needle.

"Very good, everyone, look, Mr. Anderson succeeded." Professor McGonagall asked the class to see the silver needle that the match turned into, and showed a rare smile to Albert. Before leaving, he didn't forget to add Gryffindor. Five points.

"I knew this wouldn't be difficult for you." Fred took the silver needle and looked at it and asked, "How did you do it? Do you have any tips?"

Several students nearby pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, seeming to want to know the secret of Albert's immediate success.

Albert whispered: "Professor McGonagall asked us to take notes before. The trick lies in it."

A group of people immediately started flipping through the books, looking for the notes they had just recorded.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Fred stared at Albert with disdain, obviously not believing these nonsense.

However, he stopped asking because Professor McGonagall looked over again.

A few minutes later, Professor McGonagall announced again: "Look, Miss MacDougal's matches have also changed."

"Transformation is so difficult, how did you succeed in it in one go?" Katrina couldn't help but ask. For some reason, she sat next to Albert again.

"One-time success? Ahem, actually, I have practiced before, so I succeeded." Albert coughed lightly, and he didn't have his own secret to success. It was best not to be regarded as a genius or something.

"Failure is normal. I don't remember how many times I failed before I successfully turned a match into a needle."

"However, those precautions that Professor McGonagall asked us to remember are also tips for success." This last sentence was said to everyone who was eavesdropping.

Katrina could naturally guess it. After all, no one could succeed in one go. Her matches could change, so naturally she had practiced the transformation technique before.

The rest of the Transfiguration class was spent practicing how to turn matches into needles. Professor McGonagall walked around the classroom, instructing other students.

However, for Albert, who had successfully completed the match needle change, the remaining time was really boring, so he found something to do for himself to avoid being caught fishing by Professor McGonagall.

"Restore your original shape!"

The silver needle turned back into a match. Professor McGonagall has already taught this spell, and there are related records in the book. Incomplete transformations are difficult to correct, and saying "Restore!" will return the object or creature to its original state.

Albert held his chin in one hand and held the wand in the other, and began to transform the matches on the table into various strange things. The spells were actually VeraVerto, but the closer the transformed items were to the shape of the original object, the harder it was to transform. The smaller it is.

After the transformation, it is restored again, thereby increasing the experience of restoring the original shape.

"How did you do that?" Fred next to him was stunned.

This guy's transformation skills were already ahead of them.

"How do you do it? That's it!" Albert raised his wand a little, and the original button turned into a toy mouse.

"Like Professor McGonagall said, be clean and neat when waving the wand, think clearly about what you want to transform into before transforming, and be clear and precise when chanting the spell."

The twins looked at each other. Even though Albert said this, they also tried, but before get out of class ended, they still failed to make the match change.

In fact, except for the success of Albert and Katrina, no one else's matches have changed.

This is a matter of course in Albert's eyes.

After all, he was very aware of the difficulty of transformation. If he didn't practice hard for a few days and just want to successfully complete the transformation, he would think that his transformation talent was beyond the sky?

The first time you make an object change is the most difficult, but as long as you succeed the first time, it will become much easier with subsequent practice.

The homework for the Transfiguration class is similar to the Charms class, where everyone goes back and practices turning matches into needles.

But it is unknown how many students will have the patience to practice.

However, judging from the contents of the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", the only type of transfiguration magic that first-year students learn is transfiguration. The only difference is the size and type of the items to be transformed.
