Professor McGonagall looked at the young wizards with a serious expression.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you'll ever use in Hogwarts classes," she said.

"There is no greater need for a wizard's caution than to turn a thing, or a person, into something completely different. ”

Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone in the room, pausing for an unusually long time on Gawain's body. The wealth of experience, and more importantly, what happened just now, warned her.

- This little wizard is by no means as "conformist" as he appears to be.

"On more than one occasion I have seen such a tragedy: a reckless student who accidentally turns his companion, or 'opponent', into a pig, or a sheep, or something worse. ”

Her voice was not loud, but it was majestic enough.

"If you're lucky, this transformation will only be temporary, or it can be changed with the help of magic. But in the worst-case scenario, the poor victim will be forced to remain trapped in that body forever. Not just the will, but also the soul. ”

Hearing her words, even Gawain couldn't help but shudder.

Just thinking about it is scary enough.

In Hogwarts there is a ghost in the form of a goat, who bleated in the middle of the night after the little wizard.

"It's even worse if the person being chased is from the Muggle world. Especially at this juncture. ”

Gawain thought, it was obviously a terrible thing, but it was inexplicably a little funny. He had to cover his mouth with his right hand so as not to be exposed.

"The Ministry of Magic has registered sixteen magical creatures that have appeared as a result of the wizard's failed Transfiguration. Historically, at least a few hundred wizards have paid a heavy enough price for their stupidity or arrogance.

I don't want any of you to have your name carved into marble for that reason. ”

Professor McGonagall was pleased with Gawain's performance and nodded.

"Anyone who tries to cause trouble in my class, I will definitely ask him out and never let him in again.

I warned you. ”

She took out her wand and swiped it in an elegant arc.

The desk on the podium suddenly turned into a giant cat, the size of a foal, and looked around the room, and finally pounced on Gawain's desk, and got up and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Mr. White, maybe you should ask it if you want more snacks?"

Professor McGonagall smiled.

Then with a flick of his wrist, the cat jumped back without a second thought, turning back into a black podium.

"Now we're in class," Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, letting the still stunned little wizards look at her, "and in today's lesson, I'll lead you through the simple things and turn a match into a needle." ”

She waved her wand, and the drawer of the lectern opened automatically, and boxes of matches flew out and landed on everyone's tables.

"Take three per person. ”

Professor McGonagall flicked her wand, and the matchbox flicked open the lid for the young wizards to fetch for themselves. If there is a clumsy person who takes too much, the matchbox will bounce up on its own and give him a brain break.

"The mantra is 'akus'! Wrists should shake like this, light, elegant, precise!

She stood on the podium, constantly emphasizing the main points.

In Gawain's view, the Transfiguration Charm is actually a kind of self-deceptive magic.

The wizard needs to have an idea of what to transform in his mind, and then be convinced that the spell will transform the thing, and then shout the spell to achieve the effect.

First there is an idea, and then with the power of magic, it interferes with reality on the basis of that idea.

"Or is it the erosion of reality?"

Gawain concluded.

In fact, the spell "Akus", or more advanced spell "Vera Verto", which is used to turn animals into cups, is helping wizards with anchoring.

It's like a pet that hears a bell and wants to eat.

“Akus。 ”

He raised his wand and pointed it at the match, imitating Professor McGonagall's movements and exhaling the spell.

The result, of course, was nothing.

"How can it be so easy!" Gao Wen thought discouragedly.

Indeed, it is not so difficult to believe in your mind that matches will turn into needles because of a spell, because this is an incredible world. From the moment magic existed, Newton was already able to sleep peacefully.

But here's the problem...

The needle itself.

What kind of material is it, what kind of decoration, what kind of size, is there a special design?

The other little wizards only needed to have a general idea in their minds, and the spell would naturally prepare a plausible result for them based on that idea.

The finer the idea, the more precise the transformation will be, and it may even be possible to turn the table into a large moving cat, as Professor McGonagall did.

But even if the idea is not detailed enough, it is just a match in the shape of a needle.

However, Gawain's talent has made him extremely sensitive to the perception and connection of magic, and even the slightest hesitation or doubt can lead to failure.

Because he was not "convinced" enough.

If others are just deceiving themselves, then for him, it is to make up a concept map of a product in that short period of time.

No wonder Professor Dumbledore said that. ”

A wry smile appeared on his face, and Gawain kept practicing. It's difficult, but it's not impossible. In fact, the most powerful man in Transfiguration was Professor Dumbledore himself.

And Gawain is also sure that as long as he can succeed, the result of the transformation will definitely meet even the most demanding standards.

But the Transfiguration class is the most complex and difficult course.

In the end, Hermione was the only one who managed to change the match, much to Professor McGonagall's delight in giving Gryffindor a 3 point.

But it was nothing more than a thin stick made of metal.

"If you don't have a point, you don't have a needle. ”

Gawain was adamant, and shoved the match back into the box, which he had never changed.

"Okay, that's all for this lesson, and I hope you don't forget to practice after class. ”

Professor McGonagall pulled open the drawer, returning all the matchboxes to their places, clapping her hands. Then she walked straight up to Gawain and beckoned him to stay.

"Professor?"

Gawain asked confusedly.

He thought that although he did not succeed in turning matches into needles, he was not so bad as to be criticized in court.

"Professor Dumbledore has commissioned me to bring this to you, and I want you to visit Professor Snape after dinner. His office is in the dungeon, and it's conspicuous, and I'm sure you'll find it. ”

Professor McGonagall said as she handed Gawain a small box wrapped in gray cloth.

PS1: Transfiguration's spells are not recorded in the original text, they are all from the movies, and the theory is based on the scattered content mentioned in the book, organized and created, such as a strong, optimistic will to affect the Patronus, and the evil spell needs to want to torture people.

PS2: In the original book, Professor McGonagall only said two sentences, but... How do I water the chapter then, hey.

(crossed out)

Professor McGonagall felt the need to make the young wizards more vigilant, so she spoke more.
