Chapter 129 Transfiguration Lesson
The next day, Monday, in the Transfiguration classroom at Hogwarts.
Most of the little wizards in Ravenclaw and Slytherin were sitting upright, and the few who were speaking also kept their voices low, and they would glance at the classroom door warily from time to time, as if something fierce might happen at any time. From there the beast emerges.
Over the past year or so, Mag's prestige has long been accumulated in the hearts of Mike and the other little wizards. Now, as long as Mag shows up, even the most naughty students will instantly turn into well-behaved children.
The only people in Hogwarts who can do this are McGonagall and Snape, and Dumbledore, those who are familiar with him know that he is an approachable old man, so they will not be too reserved in front of him.
"Crack."
The door to the Transfiguration classroom suddenly opened, and a serious-looking Professor McGonagall walked in with her head held high. In just an instant, the few remaining voices in the classroom disappeared.
Professor McGonagall scanned everyone with hawk-like eyes, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that everyone was as honest as a quail.
"Then our class today has officially begun." Professor McGonagall said, "Today our class content is to turn buttons into butterflies. I believe everyone here should be able to do it after more than a year of study. Finally. , I must reiterate again before we officially start, what is the most important point for transfiguration?"
As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the little wizards shouted in unison as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times:
"cautious!"
In fact, Professor McGonagall has indeed asked this question countless times, and she will ask it again almost every time before class.
Transfiguration is an extremely dangerous spell, especially for the human body or other living creatures, which can easily lead to irreversible distortions.
In the past thousands of years, countless wizards have turned into monsters, such as the kappa in the Neon Kingdom and the banshee with a human face and a bird body. These horrifying humanoid monsters are actually wizards who failed to transform.
Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall asked the little wizards to start transforming. She herself kept patrolling the classroom and stepped forward to help students who encountered problems.
Don't think this is an easy thing to say. There are only a few people who can turn out a complete butterfly on the spot, let alone a beautiful one.
The butterflies transformed by these little wizards are all kinds of weird. Some of the transformed butterflies had one side with small wings and the other with large wings that could not fly at all, some simply transformed into a chrysalis or caterpillar, and some had no buttons changed at all after the transformation.
The above are pretty good, at least there is no danger.
After a chubby little wizard from Slytherin chanted the Transfiguration Curse, the button exploded, blowing up all the surrounding Slytherin students into explosive heads. Their funny looks caused a burst of laughter in the classroom.
For this reason, Slytherin was deducted 10 points, not because he failed to cast the spell, but because they disrupted the order of the class.
Mike didn't pay attention there. At this moment, he was closing his eyes and concentrating on imagining the appearance of butterflies in his mind.
From the butterfly's colorful wings to its furry body covered with scales, Mike strives for perfection.
Suddenly Mike opened his eyes, staring sharply at the button, as if he regarded it as a life-or-death enemy. At the same time, he pointed at the button with the wand in his hand and shouted the transformation spell:
"Veravito!"
With his loud shout, the black button on the desk began to quickly lengthen and become thinner, and then six slender insect legs slowly appeared, and the last pair was black, mixed with red, yellow and other colors. The wings of different colors also spread out.
The butterfly's wings flapped slightly in an attempt to take off. It seemed that it was not familiar with the body of a butterfly, so it tried several times without success.
Fortunately, creatures like butterflies are born with a very high talent for flying. After practicing for a while, it finally flapped its big wings with beautiful phoenix tails and slowly flew up, stopping on Mike's staff. On the tip.
"Hoo~"
After exhaling a heavy breath, Mike's hanging heart finally dropped.
This time, Mike tried his best with the transformation technique.
There was no way, Mike's usual grades in Transfiguration class were not good enough to impress Professor McGonagall. If he wanted to ensure that Professor McGonagall would tell him the secret of Cedric's Transfiguration, he could only do so when she was in a good mood.
Although this kind of cramming behavior may not have much effect, there is no other way at this time.
Mike silently vowed in his heart that he would study the art of transformation in the future.
Professor McGonagall also finished dealing with Slytherin's affairs at this time and noticed the butterfly on the tip of Mike's staff.
"Perfect transformation, Mr. Townley!" A rare smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's serious face, "No one in the entire second grade except Miss Hermione Granger can become better than you! Ravenclaw 10 points."
After hearing this, the surrounding students cast admiring glances at Mike, and after Professor McGonagall said that, she turned around and continued to help other students.
Mike also noticed the smile on Professor McGonagall's face, secretly thinking that something was going on, and decided to add to the fire.
So I got up and went with Professor McGonagall to help those students who always had problems casting spells.
As expected, Professor McGonagall's eyes became even more smiley after noticing Mike's movements.
This continued until the end of get out of class. Most of the people in the classroom were able to turn buttons into butterflies, although the butterflies they turned still looked like genetic mutations.
After Professor McGonagall announced that get out of class was over, everyone rushed out of the classroom, as if they didn't want to stay with Professor McGonagall for a moment.
But Mike did not leave. He waited quietly on the spot. When he and Professor McGonagall were the only two people left in the classroom, Mike smiled at Professor McGonagall, who had just cleaned up the mess left by the students and was about to leave. said:
"Professor, can I spare you a little time?" Mike's face was filled with a smile as bright as the sun. "I have some questions about transfiguration that I would like to ask you."
Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard this. In her impression, Mike had never been interested in transfiguration. Therefore, although Mike also has extremely high talent in transfiguration, his performance has always been suppressed by Hermione.
An idea flashed in his mind. Professor McGonagall seemed to have figured out something, and the expression on his face became stern.
"Don't think that I don't know what kind of doctrine you are practicing. I will never teach you the art of Animagus transformation! You must not practice it secretly in private!" Professor McGonagall scolded, "I know you are so young. And young wizards with talents always feel that they are capable of anything, but please remember that the most important thing in learning transfiguration is to be cautious. With your talent, as long as you study hard, you will definitely succeed, there is no need to be so anxious."
Mike was confused by Professor McGonagall's long sermon. He never expected that Professor McGonagall would think that he wanted to ask questions about the Animagus.
"Well, you misunderstood Professor. I came to you because I have other questions to ask. Can you see if you can..."
Professor McGonagall looked at Mike suspiciously, and when he saw that he didn't look like he was lying, he said, "Okay, then, come to the office with me."
