Professor McGonagall's assessment was much easier than William had imagined, and it was the most basic of some Transfigurations, at least for William.

"In magical education at Hogwarts, you face your first important exam in your fifth year. L, the general wizard exam, only a good score in the Transfiguration exam or above can join my Transfiguration improvement class. ”

"It was only there, in sixth grade, that we tried to deform the human body for the first time. So, I'll need to make sure you've mastered all the Transfiguration knowledge before you are in fifth grade before I teach you anything about Animagus. As she spoke, Professor McGonagall pulled a stack of papers from her bosom.

"Let's start with the written part, as you know, Transfiguration is the most rigorous of the two subjects taught, on a par with Potions, and Transfiguration can only be considered successful if it is done correctly. I need to make sure what your knowledge is and if you already have access to advanced Transfiguration. ”

As she spoke, Professor McGonagall motioned for William to sit down, apparently to be watching William's exam.

No, there's a written test!

William looked at Professor McGonagall, who was the invigilator, and muttered to himself. It was really a test of McGonagall's style, and he sat down obediently as instructed, took out a quill pen, spread out the test paper, and began to read.

Professor McGonagall came to such a surprise exam, which William did not expect.

He didn't review those complicated knowledge points well before he came, but it wasn't that difficult, because William's level of operation had reached that level, and he only needed to recall some simple knowledge points slightly.

So at this time, he almost kept writing fast, especially the exam papers of the previous grades, which was really a very simple thing for William, and his current knowledge reserve was completely ready to take the ultimate wizard exam.

But it's one thing to have knowledge, it's another thing to get started.

"That's a good answer, and then there's the hands-on part." After reviewing William's papers, Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

It seems that he did well in the written test, but he answered a few questions that were not so standard, looking at the professor's expression, William thought to himself.

In fact, what he didn't understand was that since Professor McGonagall agreed to Professor William Animagus, as long as William didn't behave so badly, some minor problems would be insignificant.

The professor waved his wand and conjured up some critters and various props, which were needed for the next practical exam.

"Starting with this semester's beetle turning into a button, you'll also need to turn a rabbit into a slipper, a teapot into a turtle, and a hedgehog into a needle pad." Professor McGonagall paused, motioning for William to memorize the contents.

"Next up are some simple cross-species transformations, turning this guinea fowl into a guinea pig, and the use of the vanishing charm, where you need to make the object in front of you disappear, which is the most common thing in ordinary wizard exams..........."

No, that's a lot!

William was dumbfounded as he watched the props that suddenly appeared on the desk, how long would this happen. In order to be able to learn Animagus safely, I still have to work harder.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and used the Occlumency Technique to expel those superfluous thoughts, which would make his mind more focused and stronger, which was very helpful to the success rate of Transfiguration, which William also discovered inadvertently.

Occlumency is really a panacea, William is very glad that he has mastered such an ability as soon as possible, it can not help but prevent other people's thinking from prying eyes, but also can quickly stabilize his emotions, it is a very commonly used spell.

This is what he got back before he entered school, and he was coquettish and cute to his father.

It was taught by the duke, who was proficient in soul magic, so William has always been good at using the Occlumency.

Maybe I can publish a book in the future, and the title of the book is called "A Thousand Uses of Occlumency".

"Another use of Occlumency? Very nice idea. Professor McGonagall also saw William's change, and she spoke appreciatively.

Next, William began to complete the exam subjects assigned by the professor one by one, his wand kept waving, and the props in front of him were also changing their shapes rapidly, he quickly completed the first few simple transformations, and only paused slightly in the last few assessments.

This was already one of the more difficult tests in the general wizard exam, but despite some struggle, William successfully completed these simple transformation spells, vanishing spells, and the last and most difficult one, turning the owl into a small telescope.

There's such a magical setting in Transfiguration.

If the thing you are transforming itself has some connection to the product of the transformation you want, then the transformation effect will be better and simpler, for example, the hedgehog and the needle pad, the match and the needle, the owl and the telescope, all have some connections that make sense.

In addition, in Transfiguration, there is such a theorem, that is, the difference in body size between two deformed things cannot be too large, which is an iron law.

It's like you can turn a match into a long needle, and if you're skillful enough, you can attach a beautiful ornament to it.

However, even a master of transfiguration can't conjure a giraffe out of a match.

In addition to this, there are some other basic laws of transformation, such as not conjuring food out of thin air, which is also an iron law.

Wizards have been seen conjuring food out of thin air, and this is a practical transfer charm, where they prepare food in one place in advance and finally use the transfer charm to conjure them up.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts, that subtle teleportation magic, is also essentially a transfer charm.

"Your transformation foundation is indeed solid." Professor McGonagall nodded, and although the last few transformations were a bit stumbling, overall, William's performance was still good, meeting the standard that the professor could learn from Animagus.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have to go to Philius every Friday night, and then, every Sunday afternoon, you come to my office, and I'll take you to Animagus."

"By the way, you can pay more attention to an excellent academic journal like Transfiguration Today, you have a deep foundation in Transfiguration, and you can consider publishing a few papers on it.

If you don't know the direction of your research, the effect of the Occlumency technique you just used on Transfiguration is a good argument. ”
