Chapter 158: Invisible pretending is the deadliest

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long."

After a while, Professor McGonagall looked up and smiled with satisfaction when she saw William engrossing in the Transfiguration Today academic journal in her office.

"It's okay, I didn't wait long." Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, William looked up from the magazine, he was just reading an academic paper on cross-species metamorphosis, and he was a little fascinated.

The academic journal Transfiguration Today is still very in-depth, and William has also subscribed to this magazine, but he has not yet read the latest issue.

By the way, in addition to the Daily Prophet and this magazine, William also subscribed to Mr. Lovegood's "Singing the Opposite".

After reading the issue of the magazine that portrayed William as an outsider, William was so amazed by Lovegood's brain that he subscribed to the magazine as a pastime in his spare time.

I have to say that some of the above things are quite interesting, and William has gained a lot of joy from those absurd articles, for example, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, incarnated as a fairy killer, and William laughed heartily when he watched it.

He didn't complain that Professor McGonagall had kept him waiting for so long, he was asking for someone now, so he should have a begging attitude.

After all, there was no need for Professor McGonagall to teach William these extras other than what was in class.

People are willing to teach you affection, not duty, and William is very clear at this point, he will not become inflated because he invented a few small spells.

"If these students can do half as hard as you do, I won't have to worry about grading their homework for them!" Professor McGonagall had a rare smile, admiring William's keen and studious student.

"I'm just a little farther than my peers, but I'm still a lot worse than you, if it weren't for your selfless teaching us knowledge, I wouldn't be where I am today." William responded modestly, and then shamelessly slapped Professor McGonagall's ass, for a man, what is cheekiness, can it be eaten?

"This paper on cross-species morphing is very well written, how much do you understand?" Professor McGonagall pointed to the issue and asked William if she was going to see how far he had come.

"I do have a few things I don't understand........"

Cross-species transfiguration is already a pretty clever transfiguration technique, and the paper is more complex than the simple transfigurations that William has been exposed to, so he does not understand something about it when he reads it.

William then took a few of the questions he had in mind and exchanged them with Professor McGonagall, and then listened to Professor McGonagall's answers.

The witch also seemed to be interested, and she happily explained to William, and from time to time waved her wand to demonstrate herself. Professor McGonagall is an accomplished figure in the field of Transfiguration, wielding a spell that easily transforms small objects in her office.

Under her manipulation, the room instantly became magical, and the newspaper turned into an eagle, which fluttered its wings and swooped down from the roof with a high-pitched chirp, and the moment it approached William, it suddenly changed in shape, turning into a small badger in an earthy yellow color.

Under Professor McGonagall's skillful control, the table in front of her was transformed into an ornate ruby ornament, the color of Gryffindor's courage, and eventually the table became a roaring lion.

It rested its paw on William's shoulder, which made William uncomfortable in his chair, as he could clearly feel the hot air sprayed from the tip of the lion's nose.

???

That's too true, isn't it?

Is this a masterful transfiguration?

The professor's superb transfiguration technique made William a little stunned.

If he hadn't watched Professor McGonagall use Transfiguration, he wouldn't have been so calm, but would have swung his wand and fought the lion, and it wasn't a wonderful feeling to be held down by those sharp claws on his shoulders.

As if very satisfied with William's stunned appearance, Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and the lion in front of him transformed into the old Nanmu desk again, and everything around him quickly changed back to its original appearance, as if what William had just experienced was just a hallucination he had imagined.

"The Transfiguration you are learning now is only the foundation of the basics, a very small part of the entire Transfiguration system." Professor McGonagall paused slightly, giving William time to think.

"For you now, you're just getting a taste of the magic of the wizarding world, so when you ask you to practice Animagus, I respond with that attitude.

Because for magic, especially transformation magic, it is easy to have unpredictable problems if you do not have a solid foundation and rashly practice those advanced magics. ”

"Every year, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries receives a large number of crappy wizards who have been physically mutated due to their stupid attempts at Transfiguration. I don't want you to be one of them.

So, I'll only teach you this knowledge when I'm absolutely sure that you can practice Animagus, you know, William? Professor McGonagall emphasised that she valued William very much, and that the witch did not want William to go down the wrong path because of his recklessness.

"Even, I'll ask even more, because you're far better than a normal little wizard, do you want to continue practicing Animagus with me after hearing this?"

"Yes, Professor McGonagall." William paused slightly, and organized his words, "I also believe that I will pass these assessments." As you may know, most of the Friedrich family members are known for their stubbornness and persistence, and I am no exception. ”

"Very well, I'm looking forward to you proving to me that you have what it takes to practice Animagus, come with me, let's go to the Transfiguration classroom below, where there is a little more space."

I don't know what kind of assessment Professor McGonagall will assign, William thought with some curiosity, he didn't worry too much, after all, his own strength was here.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, I'll only assess you for some Transfiguration techniques that you can only learn in your senior grades." As Professor McGonagall spoke, she stepped out of the office door.

"If you're really as good as you say you are, then none of this should be a big deal for you."

The two of them were silent all the way, and soon arrived at the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor, and after the professor waved open the protective magic on the door, William gently pushed the door open.

It was a spacious, well-lit classroom, and the blackboard in front of the lectern still had the content of Professor McGonagall's last lecture, and William looked at it, which was only seen in the upper grade transformation class.

"So now, let's get started!"
