"I really don't understand why they can be so justified when they have broken the rules. I remember Professor McGonagall saying to us before the Sorting House began, that Gryffindor is the most courageous house, is that courage?"

The note Hermione had written something like this, which was courage, of course, but it was misplaced. Gryffindors do not lack courage, but they lack rational thinking, and they rarely think about the cause and effect of a thing.

Seamus handed the note back, but Hermione only glanced at it, indicating that she understood, and did not communicate any further, because Professor McGonagall had already started the lecture and everything would wait until after the class was over.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will ever use in Hogwarts classes. "Anyone who wants to be mischievous in my class, I'll ask him out and never let him in again." I warned you. ”

Then, she turned her lectern into a pig and back again.

Obviously, this magic caught everyone's attention, and Professor McGonagall handed everyone a match.

"Our goal in this lesson is to turn matches into needles. ”

Professor McGonagall didn't choose to teach in the same way as Lupin, giving you a full understanding of the principles of magic. Instead, after focusing on the precautions, he practiced while talking, because although Transfiguration is dangerous, as long as the law of Gamp Transfiguration is observed, then the wizard's own safety is still there. It doesn't have devastating consequences just because of a syllable error, like a spell.

There are 5 rules of Gamp deformation:

1. You can't conjure food

2. No gas can be conjured

3. Volatilization cannot occur after deformation

4. You can't make something out of nothing

5. Cannot give life

These 5 basic rules must be followed, and the first three are not that you can't do it, but that you can't do it. Suppose you turn a rock into food, gas, or something volatile, such as alcohol. Then when someone comes into contact with these items, eats food, or inhales gas, then when the Transfiguration fails, those items will be reduced to stone, which will cause very serious consequences.

The last two are the limitations of Transfiguration itself, and if you can break through them, everyone will thank you for opening up a whole new realm.

These five principles, Seamus knew for a long time, so he never thought of deforming the various guns in his memory, because the gunpowder and other substances in it, once ignited, will produce a large amount of gas, which may cause serious consequences at that time.

It was the first time Hermione had officially used Transfiguration, and most of the previous discussions had been about enchantments, and Transfiguration was indeed more complicated. Despite the fact that there is only one spell, the nature of Transfiguration makes it very difficult to get from beginner to mastery. Unlike other spells, which are easy to get started with, difficult to master.

As Professor McGonagall explained, Hermione gradually grasped the trick of using magic to feel the substances you need to transform and understand their inner workings as much as possible, so as to increase the success rate.

Two hours later, halfway through the lesson, Hermione had turned the match into a needle, not too sharp and without the eye of the needle, but no doubt what could be considered a needle.

"Very good, Miss Granger has finished the transformation. Professor McGonagall was very happy," said Gryffindor, adding five points. ”

Hermione seemed very happy, and it was a very happy thing for her to be praised by her teacher, and she was immersed in it and enjoyed it.

As for Seamus, there was no real action, and although he was able to do it early on, there was no need to show it in class.

Seamus was more interested in whether air could be turned into a solid substance, since it was not possible to turn matter into air. However, he did not directly conduct experiments, nor did he ask Professor McGonagall in class, although he had become an Englishman in his life, he always believed in the creed of his ancestors.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the rafters that come out will rot first, and he is not willing to show off on these inconsequential things. Seeing that class was about to end, Hermione had turned the match into a near-perfect needle, almost identical except for the absence of the eye of the needle.

After watching her for so long, Seamus finally discovered a problem, that is, Hermione's magic manipulation was very fine, even reaching a level similar to her own. You must know that your current magic manipulation is Lv3, which has been achieved after a year and with the blessing of the ability panel.

And Hermione, just after being exposed to magic, has reached this level, and the talent gap between people is indeed unimaginably large. If you don't have the ability panel, it will take at least 5~6 years to reach such a level of magic manipulation according to your usual training.

It's a pity that the strength of a wizard is not only related to his level of manipulation of mana, but more importantly, the strength of his mana, and this is only related to the wizard's bloodline and age. Obviously, Hermione is not strong in this area, and the power she and Seamus unleash is also very different from the same spell, which may be the key to limiting her growth.

Because Hermione is not lacking in hard work, and she is also very smart, but what she lacks is the magical growth brought by the wizarding bloodline, if there is any way to make up for this shortcoming, Hermione will leap into the sea and let the birds fly. As for now, it can only be empty of extremely high skills, but not enough power.

Seeing that the class was about to end, Seamus also simply turned the match into a needle, and it looked perfect, no different from a real sewing needle. The reason why it was so perfect was to give Professor McGonagall a good impression, and it would be easier to get the answer after class later.

"Mr. Finigan is also done. Professor McGonagall was a little surprised, "It's perfectly done, Gryffindor plus 5 points." ”

"It's been a class, but in the end, only two people have completed the transformation, and the others still need to continue practicing, and when the next class comes, I will check your results. Professor McGonagall announced the end of class.

Before Professor McGonagall could leave, Seamus stopped her and asked him the same question that had come to mind during class.

"It's not actually against any principles, but using air to transform requires more precise manipulation of magic. Professor McGonagall replied, "You can go back and try to practice, but remember, stay safe, and always ask me if you don't understand anything." ”

"Thank you, Professor. Seamus thanked Professor McGonagall.

While they were discussing the issue, Hermione stood by and listened the whole time, and as for the others, they had already left the classroom and walked towards the auditorium. After a whole morning of classes, they felt extra hungry and couldn't wait to go to the auditorium to eat.

"Why did you finish the transformation at the end of class, you should have been able to do it a long time ago. Hermione didn't understand what he was doing.

"I just don't want to be in the limelight. Seamus said, "Tell me about the pre-class events, do you understand the difference between yourself and them?"

As Seamus spoke, a silence fell between them, and Hermione quietly pondered the problem as she slowly walked to the auditorium.

"I don't think there's a difference. After a long thought, they sat down at the table, and Hermione slowly spoke her conclusion.

"No one can always think calmly, we all make bad choices on the spur of the moment, and at that level, there is no difference between us. The only problem is that they almost always do things intuitively. ”

"You're right, as far as I know, almost all wizards lack the ability to think logically, because they have never been exposed to anything that requires rigorous logic. Seamus replied as he ate the pie on the table.

"Compared to the education we received from childhood, the education of wizards is more emotional, and from the very beginning they are divided into 4 houses according to personality traits, which undoubtedly contributes to this situation even more. Gryffindors are the most impulsive, while Ravenclaw is more withdrawn and thirsty for knowledge. A person with a personality bias who has lived with a group of people with the same personality for 7 years will become more pronounced in their personality traits. ”

"Why is that? They don't need logical reasoning. Hermione was even more puzzled.

"Because they do need to mobilize emotions more, and a lot of advanced spells require emotional involvement. Logical reasoning didn't help them, at least on the surface, because almost all the wizards I met were more willing to trust their instincts. Seamus said

Taking a sip of water, Seamus went on to explain, "I've read a little bit of wizard history, and the character traits are very evident in history. After the first Goblin Rebellion, the Goblins were suppressed by the Sorcerers, and for some reason, the Goblins survived. However, in 1612, the elves rebelled for the second time, but after this rebellion, the wizards did not even find the cause. In the end, it was just like last time, and the rights of the goblins were restricted again, and then it was gone. ”

"Another thing is that wizards' laws often have a lot of contradictions, but these contradictions have existed for a long time, and no one has raised them, and their laws have never been systematic. Moreover, most of their interrogations were either based on truth elixirs or regents, or the prisoners voluntarily confessed. All the evidence that can change the verdict can only be direct evidence, and all the process of adjudicating the case has no inferences in it. ”

"It's really terrible, probably because everything that requires reasoning, for them, can be obtained directly through all kinds of magic, so they don't have this ability. Hermione listened, palpitating.
