Chapter 2017: See the Mist Again

“…… According to Hekate's theory of uncertainty, it is impossible for anyone to 'fully imagine' when casting all the Transfiguration Spells. In other words, no matter how hard we usually study and study the embodiment of the properties of matter, in practical application, we are also 'careless'. We can't take care of all the details – yes, I can't. ”

"But why are we able to perform Transfiguration in such a sloppy situation? In other words, why are we still able to significantly improve the success rate of deformation through continuous practice? This is actually because every time we successfully cast a spell, we will leave some traces in our subconscious, which will invisibly help us to cast a spell next time......"

Therefore, it is necessary to practice continuously, so please do not slack off after class. Even if we always become 'sloppy' in practice, it will still help us a lot with daily practice. ”

Professor McGonagall lectured earnestly from the podium, explaining the boring theory of metamorphosis while encouraging everyone to practice on their own after class.

But to be honest, in Professor McGonagall's class, there were relatively few deliberate reminders like this before. It's just that the situation in Europe has become more and more severe recently, and she is also full of worries, so that she can't help but want her students to grow up as soon as possible and gain some ability to protect themselves.

However, geniuses are often in the minority in this world, and luck is not always patronized. The matter of learning is definitely not in a hurry.

But even so, the little wizards listened as best they could.

There is no doubt that there has been a lot of speculation among the students on the ship about the situation in the outside world. Even if the professors don't often talk to them about specific things, there's always a reason why the ship doesn't dock for so long, isn't it? Little wizards aren't stupid.

And it was at this moment when the professor was worried and the students were secretly worried that suddenly a little wizard who was sitting next to the porthole suddenly seemed to catch a glimpse of something, and was suddenly stunned.

"Huh! Look, it's foggy outside—"

He reached out and poked the classmate sitting next to him, looked out the window and whispered.

Yes, there seems to be a bit of fog on the sea outside—it's not the weird grey fog of the British land, it's just a very ordinary fog.

Obviously, fogging at sea is not an uncommon thing. Sometimes when the wind is stronger, there is often a thin layer of mist on the surface of the sea, and sometimes it is very foggy, it may mean that a storm is coming.

In fact, during this period of sailing, even the most terrible thunderstorms at sea have been experienced more than once.

"What's the big deal...... Don't get distracted! This is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, don't you want to die? ”

The classmate who had been poked in the elbow with his finger didn't move his head, but complained like this in a very small voice.

"But—"

The little wizard couldn't help but turn his head to look again, but saw that the fog outside the porthole seemed to be thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even soon the window was covered with a layer of water vapor, and it became impossible to see anything clearly.

However, when I think that my classmates are telling the truth, it really doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"But...... I just saw something big coming from outside. He couldn't help but mutter, "Well, forget it...... It's hazy, maybe I'm wrong! ”

Thinking like this, he forced himself to return to the state of listening carefully to the lecture, and put the doubts in his heart behind him for the time being.

It's just that the fog is a real fog, and the huge shadow he sees is also not an illusion.

……

Almost at the same time, Snape, who was casually talking to his sister Tia on the deck above, suddenly frowned slightly, and then turned to look out at the sea outside the ship.

"Is it foggy again?" He muttered a little annoyance.

"Well," Tia chimed in when she heard this, "and every time the fog comes up, it always reminds me of Mr. Lockhart's performance...... Mr. McLean's magic is truly amazing. ”

"That's just with the help of Dumbledore's meditation basin." Snape said this, and then added, "But that kid's talent and abilities are really okay. ”

"You're here again," Tia winked, "can't you really compliment someone?" ”

But Snape only shook his head disapprovingly.

"People who are really capable don't need my praise."

He said this casually, but his eyes kept wandering through the fog that was getting thicker and thicker on the sea. Because at this moment, he was already vaguely aware of the Occlumency Technique, as if some kind of spiritual power was quietly spreading in the fog.

However, he could not find the source of that power.

"Tia, go back to the cabin!"

"Oh, of course, the fog is so thick all of a sudden, and the hem of my clothes is getting wet."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Snape take the lead and walk briskly towards the hatch. When she saw it, she hurriedly chased after her, and the two of them got into the cabin in a blink of an eye.

"Peacefully guarded."

As soon as he entered the cabin, Snape drew his wand and backhanded it was a spell that sealed the hatch directly. Seeing that the fog was no longer coming through the crack in the door, he nodded to himself, and strode down the aisle towards the back half of the boat. But after taking a step, he suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Tia and said:

"What are you still doing? Keep up. ”

Tia, who was left behind, was still looking at Snape's sealed hatch, and when she heard the other party's reminder, she quickly continued to follow.

During this time with Snape, she knew a little bit about this brother. Now that the other party is doing this, needless to say, I am afraid that something has happened.

A moment later, Snape passed by Professor McGonagall's on-board classroom, and after a moment's thought, he stopped in front of the classroom door and reached out and knocked on it.

Soon, the sound of lectures was heard and stopped.

"Please come in."

As soon as McGonagall's voice was remembered, Snape opened the hatch of the classroom, took a step inside, and said to the other party behind the podium:

"It's a bit of a situation, let's pause the class first!"

Snape only said this because it was inconvenient to talk about it in front of the students, and then immediately turned and left the classroom, continuing to the other end of the hallway.
