The Years Welding at Hogwarts

The next morning, the two houses of Slytherin and Ravenclaw jointly ushered in the first practical lesson that the new students had been waiting for.

That is, in their own minds, the lessons that require waving a magic wand in the classroom.

All the little wizards who didn’t know the truth looked full of expectations. Even ten minutes before class started, the classroom was already full of people.

Even though this classroom didn’t look like a classroom at all – the classroom was filled with a strong smell of garlic. For fear that the students wouldn’t be able to pick it up enough, the considerate Professor Quirinas Quirrell sealed the doors and windows tightly. of.

Since it has not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, in addition to the smell of garlic, there is also a damp feeling of returning to the south.

The walls seemed to exude a musty smell, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the little wizards.

Seeing Hermione sitting upright and looking eagerly at the podium, Noah couldn’t bear to tell her the truth for a while.

After all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts has been so difficult to develop, and some things should not be revealed~

Ever since Voldemort failed to apply for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and became angry and shamelessly cursed the position, Year after year, there have been so many professors.

The quality of the teaching staff varies, and each new professor has his own teaching methods.

This has resulted in students at Hogwarts receiving this course of education intermittently and unsystematically.

At the same time, because the previous professor died suddenly or was seriously injured in an accident, they were unable to hand over the teaching progress well.

The next professor had no idea where his predecessor had taught him.

Therefore, the students’ learning progress is also in chaos.

For example, in Cedric’s fourth grade, their second grade had just started when their Dark Magic Defense professor suddenly died suddenly.

For an entire semester, due to the suspension of classes, they did not learn anything related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

When they are in third grade, the new professor starts teaching the third grade content directly.

Faced with such a situation, Dumbledore was helpless.

Look at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position, it is an iron rice bowl that everyone is trying to get. 1Look at Hogwarts again. They change every year and they are all disposable.

As long as I can still live my life, I won’t lose my mind and come to Hogwarts to be a professor of this course.

Even you, Quirrell, are becoming a professor.

Can he teach?

He can’t teach it! 3Do you know he doesn’t have this ability? ?

In a few years, Dumbledore might not be reduced to hiring someone to teach this course in Azkaban. 4

Because the teaching quality of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course has seriously hindered the teaching level of Hogwarts, Hogwarts’ ranking among the eleven magic schools in the world is getting worse day by day.

In the past, Hogwarts had been ranked number one in the world for many years, but look what it’s like now.

Now we are down to seventh place!

If we continue, we will lose to Durmstrang.

After you lose Durmstrang, you lose to Beauxbatons, and then you lose to Vargadu and Kodosdoriz. You lose in the end and you don’t have to lose, because your ranking is already the lowest.

No shame! 1

……

When the class bell rang, Professor Quirrell, who everyone had been fascinated by for a long time, finally walked out of the office at the back of the classroom.

But in just a few short steps from the office to the podium, everyone’s expectations disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because Quirrell’s image is really bad.

He was tall, with a fair complexion, and there were often scars between his wrinkles.

His head was wrapped in a large Arab-style turban, and although he was dressed like a dog, his body smelled like he hadn’t taken a shower in more than ten years.

He always stutters when talking to people, smells like Indian curry, and makes people half understand.

I heard people talking about it behind the scenes. Professor Quirrell was also a top student in Ravenclaw back then, but I don’t know how he ended up now being reduced to the point where he wants to come to Hogwarts to be the Dark Arts Defense Professor.

After a long time, the bell rang. The little wizards who came out of the classroom all looked frightened.

“Professor Quirrell is really terrible.”Hermione frowned.

For Hermione, a well-behaved child who has always been polite, to make such a comment, it is enough to show how bad Quirrell is.

He just read the textbook according to the text, and his curry-flavored English still has unclear pronunciation..If

Noah hadn’t had good hearing, I would have thought he was reciting the bird song of an unknown country.

……

Fortunately, the second class in the morning was Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration.

As a senior educator, Professor McGonagall, who has been deeply involved in the field of transfiguration for decades, goes without saying much about his teaching skills.

With Professor Quirrell’s poor teaching as a lesson, everyone is looking forward to Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration even more.

Even though the break between the two classes lasted thirty minutes, everyone still sat down early in the Transfiguration classroom.

A beautiful tabby cat squatted on the table in the first row, closing its eyes to relax, and seemed to be sleeping.

Hermione, who was delighted to see the cat, ran to the table in the first row and stretched out her hand to tease the cat. If Shirley hadn’t caught her quickly with quick eyes and hands, this would have been a fatal blow.

When the transformation technique reaches a certain level, you can master a spell called Animagus.

Its effect is to allow wizards to freely transform between humans and a specific animal, which is the so-called –

Gryffindor, courage is supreme! 1

Our dean can turn into a cat! 1

The tabby cat on the table is the transformation of Professor McGonagall. If you observe carefully, you can also find a circle of lines next to its eyes that look like glasses.

This is caused by the fact that when Animagus changes form, the clothes on his body will also be integrated into the transformed form. 1

If the clothes on his body did not change with him… then, it is conceivable that when the Animagus wants to return to his human form, unless he finds a place where no one is around to change his clothes, he will end up running naked.

……

When the school bell rang, the tabby cat in the front row jumped up from the desk and transformed into a serious-looking witch in the air.

Hermione was so frightened that her heart trembled. She remembered that she had almost committed suicide just now by teasing the cat, and she couldn’t help but cast a grateful look at Shirley beside her.

After the names were called, Professor McGonagall knocked on the table.

Due to her majesty, the classroom was so quiet that even if a pin dropped to the ground, you could clearly hear it.

“I want to warn you that Transfiguration is the most complex and difficult of all the courses at Hogwarts. Anyone who dares to act naughty in my class should be asked to leave and never come back again.”

Except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which changes professors every year, the professors of all other courses will have a carefully prepared opening or demonstration when giving students the first class of their entire academy career. 1 Professor

McGonagall No exception.

She pulled out her magic wand and turned the lectern into a fat white pig, and then turned it into a lion with its bloody mouth open and roaring.

Staring at the majestic lion in front of her, Noah revealed A thoughtful expression.

Transfiguration seems to be just a simple transformation of one kind of object into another kind of object, or it is just a simple change of the shape of the same kind of object.

If other magic can also be used to a certain extent To explain it in the language of Muggle science, transfiguration is really completely unreasonable.

Because it completely goes against people’s common sense, even though it is just ordinary magic in the eyes of wizards. No, this is a matter of course.

What is the essence of transfiguration?

In the process of object transformation, what kind of changes happen to the transformed object itself?

It is a top-notch illusion like a mirror, deceiving the five senses of everyone around it. , causing people to invisibly mistake it for another object. 1

In this way, the effect of the podium turning into a lion can be achieved, but in fact, the podium is still a podium, and its essence has not changed in any way.

Or is this a change and reorganization at the atomic level, where the basic particles that make up an object are completely shattered and then reconstituted into another object under the influence of magic, thereby achieving a changing effect?

But if this is the case, isn’t this what is called Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

He can completely use deformation to convert uranium into krypton and barium, or convert deuterium and tritium into helium.

But a new problem arises, the huge energy generated in this process Where does energy come from and where does it go?1

This is completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of energy.4

……

As an excellent professor, Professor McGonagall would naturally not be a PPT lecturer like Quirrell, reading from the textbook. 1

She explained the principles of Transfiguration in a simple and profound way, although judging from the glances of the students in the audience, except for a few outstanding top students, no one else could understand it.

After that, she held up a match

“What you have to do in this class is to turn this match into a silver needle. As long as you complete the task, you can win five points for your college.”

Aiming the wand in the other hand at the match,”Vera verto.”

A flash of light flashed, and the match in Professor McGonagall’s hand suddenly turned into a thin silver needle.

“When you are new to Transfiguration, it is important to speak the spell clearly and wave the wand accurately.”

“Moreover, you must firmly imagine the shape of the match after successful transformation in your mind, which will help increase your success rate in completing the transformation.”

“Okay, now let’s try it.”

Professor McGonagall walked off the podium, and a box of matches flew in the air as the tip of her staff pointed. The matches in the box flew one by one to each student’s desk under the influence of magic.

Until she reached No. When she came here, she stopped

“Mr. Schaffrin, where is your wand?”

The other little wizards all held a wand. Only Noah’s hand was empty. There was nothing except a Transfiguration textbook in front of him.

And the textbook was for the second grade.

“Professor, my wand is a little special and I can’t use it in the classroom.”

When he thought of his two-meter-long wand, Noah felt a headache.

When will that dead old man Ollivander send him his new wand?

“Can’t use it? Professor McGonagall frowned heavily,”That’s not possible. How are you going to perform the transformation spell without a wand?”

Noah could only choose to tell the truth,”I can cast magic without relying on a wand.””

Professor McGonagall’s eyes turned from stern to suspicious,”Wandless spellcasting is a very advanced spellcasting skill, and you are not the only one who can do it.……”

Before she could finish speaking, Noah picked up the matches on the table.

There was no movement on his part, and the match held between his fingers suddenly and abruptly transformed from a match into a silver needle under Professor McGonagall’s eyes.

Professor McGonagall swallowed back the second half of what she wanted to say in an instant.

What she just wanted to say was that this is not a spell-casting skill that a first-year wizard can master. Don’t try to attract people’s attention through sensationalism.

However, the current situation…

As a senior educator with more than half a century of teaching experience, what kind of storms has Professor McGonagall not seen over the years?

Uh, sorry, she has never seen this situation before. 10
