Chapter 172: Who's in Class?
Ivan could vaguely hear the conversation between the two as he walked into the third greenhouse, and compared to Harry, who was confused, he understood Lockhart's grievances.
Lockhart's appointment as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts was supposed to be a media sensation that would have topped the headlines of the day, but was brutally crushed under the feet of Harry and Ron driving in public.
This is undoubtedly a major blow to Lockhart, who is almost morbidly hungry for fame...
Not only that, Ivan thought about it, his popularity has not subsided recently, and there are two positions in the first edition that are still analyzing whether he can get the Merlin Medal.
As for the news covering Lockhart, it was swept straight into the corner of the page.
Thinking of this, Ivan was very glad, fortunately Harry had saved himself from the disaster, otherwise he would have been dragged to talk...
"Now who can tell me what the properties of mandrakes are?" Professor Sprout, with some earmuffs in his hands, stood in front of some potted plants and asked in a loud voice.
Although Ivan was a little distracted thinking about things, answering questions had long been his instinct, so after Professor Sprout's words were finished, Ivan managed to catch up with Hermione and speak.
"Professor Sprout! The so-called mandrake, also known as mandrake root, is a powerful restorative that can restore a deformed person or a person under a spell to their normal state, and is also an important part of most antidotes.......
It is worth mentioning that the cry of a mandrake can kill people, but a young mandrake can only make people feel dizzy until they fall into a coma......
How this plant is raised...."
Ivan gushed endlessly about the knowledge he had seen in the book, basically covering all aspects, and finished talking about what he should have said.
Then I rolled up my sleeves and was ready to show you how to repot the mandrake.
Before that, of course, Ivan did not forget to remind the little wizards around him to put on the earmuffs, so as not to cause something bad to happen.
Ivan is full of energy, and he feels that he has worked so hard, Professor Sprout will definitely add a lot of points to himself, and then give a super high evaluation after class.
However, Ivan didn't see it, and Professor Sprout on the side looked at him with a strange expression.
You're done, so what am I going to do?
Who's in class anyway?
......
After class, Ivan got a grade point for the first time in a long time, which made him feel good.
The only regret is that Professor Sprout only gave him five points in class, even though he explained all the characteristics of mandrakes, and by the way, he repotted several mandrakes...
The next Transfiguration class made Ivan look forward to it even more.
But when it came time to actually attend the class, Ivan was disappointed again, because today's lesson was so simple, and they needed to spend a lesson learning how to turn a beetle into a button!
Ivan waved his wand casually, and the unknown beetle on the table, which looked like a ladybug, shook and turned into a gray-black button with a clear and delicate pattern on it.
The most important thing is that the form is very stable, if no one takes the initiative to lift it, it will not change back for more than ten days...
If the beetle hadn't starved to death by then.
"Wonderful Transfiguration Charm! Gryffindor Plus 10 points! As soon as Professor McGonagall finished handing it out, she saw the buttons on Ivan's desk, and said without hesitation while feeling that Ivan's Transfiguration Charm had improved.
Professor McGonagall stepped forward and held Ivan's deformed button aloft and showed it to the other young wizards.
Hermione, who was not far away, looked at the button in McGonagall's hand, and then looked at the beetle in front of her desk that had just changed its shape, and couldn't help but pout in frustration, the gap between her and Ivan seemed to have widened again...
Harry and Ron were used to it, and they didn't have the slightest idea of comparing themselves to Ivan. Harry was battling the beetles running around the table so that it wouldn't run under the table.
Ron's wand went completely out of control, emitting puffs of black smoke like a short-circuited electrical appliance...
The unluckiest thing was Seamus, who just waved his wand as instructed, and a flash of light burst out from the top, and when he looked at it again, there was already a fire on the table, and the beetle was roasted by him...
Much to the disappointment of Professor McGonagall, who had been looking around, she had to return the buttons to Ivan, rush to Seamus to put out the fire, and after some reprimand, began to instruct the other young wizards.
Seeing this, Ivan couldn't help but shake his head, turned the button back into a beetle, and used the remaining time to practice magic analysis.
With his current level of spell theory, the second-year course is really simple for him, and it doesn't play a good learning role, mainly to obtain student status points.
Ivan felt that he needed to think of another way to use the time for class.
As the bell rang for lunch, most of the young wizards in the classroom who practiced Transfiguration Charms breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that they could finally take a break.
Ivan waited for the rest of the students to leave before coming to the front desk and speaking to McGonagall, who was packing up her textbooks.
"Professor McGonagall! Do you remember our agreement last school year? The one who learns the Animagus? ”
"Hmm.." Professor McGonagall paused, and looked at Ivan for a moment with round-framed eyes, a little admiration and a little helplessness in her eyes.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, Hals!"
"But it takes a lot of time to learn the Animagus, so why don't you choose this week's day off?" McGonagall spoke.
"Absolutely!" Ivan nodded, indicating that he had no opinion.
He knew very well that the professors at Hogwarts usually had a heavy workload, and one person had to teach seven years, and Professor McGonagall was willing to take time off to open a small stove for him, which was already very good.
Thinking of this, Ivan thanked him for a while.
No teacher would not like a polite and gifted student, and Professor McGonagall naturally did the same, and she had a smile on her tightly pursed lips, but she still reminded her.
"During this time, I want you to reconsider whether or not to learn Animagus, I think you should understand the dangers of this magic!"
"I'm not going to give up, Professor!" Ivan swore by it.
His Transfiguration Spell level had been stuck at level four for a long time, and his usual practice progress was slight, and he felt that the opportunity to break through to level five should be when he learned the transformation of Animagus!
