Chapter 140: The Warm-up of the Animagus
Ravenclaw's class schedule was basically the same as last year's, and Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class was still with Gryffindor.
However, the first day of the lesson must have been much heavier than that of Ravenclaw, and they seemed to have just finished Professor Sprout's herbalism, and they all looked listless at this point.
If there was a ranking of the difficulty of these classes at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class would probably always be the top = class.
The conscientious Professor McGonagall always strictly requires every young wizard to complete the teaching plan she has formulated, which makes many young wizards secretly complain.
In this lesson, they need to turn a beetle into a button.
O Merlin! They've just gone on a vacation, and pretty much all the little they've learned is now out of their bodies.
"Just turning the beetle into a button! This is probably the simplest Transfiguration, and you can't even do it! ”
Professor McGonagall in front of the podium looked a little angry, she didn't expect this group of young wizards to degrade their spell casting level so much after a vacation.
Especially when she saw that Ron, who had some kind of trick up his sleeve, had made a gray smoke that smelled of rotten eggs, Professor McGonagall looked even more upset.
"Have you reviewed what you taught last semester this vacation? How many times have I told you! Transfiguration is the hardest and most dangerous course. Why don't you listen in vain? ”
The professor's face was gloomy, and she handed Ron a beetle again, which made the boy's face flush.
"Why can't you just learn from Friedrich?" Then, Professor McGonagall looked at William, who had completed the transformation brilliantly, and smiled with satisfaction, judging the stern attitude of the two of them just now.
Unlike this group of young wizards who only know how to play, William has always been very strict with himself.
Even during the holidays, he would not relax himself, but would continue to study magic, which kept him moving forward on the path of magic and pulling these peers farther and farther away.
After all, William didn't know when the mysterious organization would find him next. He was desperate to get stronger now.
To him, it was just the simplest transfiguration spell, and there was really nothing to praise it.
William noticed Ron's ghostly appearance and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
What the hell did Weasley think?
That wand had already broken like this, and he was actually planning to wrap a few loops of magic tape and continue to use it?
Is he crazy?
Didn't he know how much a wand could mean to a wizard?
Especially for young wizards, a wand that suits him will improve his learning a lot.
If William remembers correctly, Ron had been using this wand-worn wand for an entire semester for fear of receiving another yelling letter. This is something that William simply could not imagine.
After one last glance at Ron with contempt, William stopped paying attention to the trio, and his mind had long since drifted elsewhere,
I don't know when I'll be able to learn Animagus!
William was a little greedy and wanted to try what it would be like to be an animal.
................................
The lesson ended with the wailing of the young wizards, who were given a lot of homework in order to reawaken their memories of the course, the Transfiguration, the stern Professor McGonagall.
Of course, William still belonged to a privileged class of students and was exempt from homework.
"I'm done too, so why should Professor McGonagall give you a waiver of homework!"
Terry looked at William with envy, and although he had completed the Transfiguration Charm in the end, Professor McGonagall had given William the privilege of being exempt from his homework.
Because it's your misfortune to be on my side, Terry. William muttered in his heart, but he still had some conscience after all, and he didn't say it to hurt Terry's self-confidence.
In William's opinion, Terry's level is already good among young wizards of the same grade.
When a person performs too well in a group, it is easy to set off the others in the group as incompetent.
He waved for Terry to leave, and then walked over to Professor McGonagall in front of the podium, where he still had some questions to ask.
"Is there something wrong with your studies, William?" In private, the professor would still call William by his first name, and only in class would he be called by his last name.
"Yes, I would like to ask some questions about the Animagus." William didn't hide it either, and asked the question generously.
Just kidding, this master of Transfiguration in front of him is internationally renowned, and such a good resource is by his side, so he won't take advantage of it unless he's crazy.
"Animagus?" Professor McGonagall looked a little surprised, what she didn't expect was that William was only in his second year and wanted to get his hands on these advanced transfigurations.
"William, while I know you've done a great job in Transfiguration class, I'm honest, it's a little too early to come into contact with Animagus at your current age." Professor McGonagall thought about it, but still felt that she should persuade William first,
Started learning Animagus at the age of twelve? It's appalling.
"But, Professor. I don't think I'm at the same level of Transfiguration as those senior wizards! ”
William was still actively fighting for himself, after all, if there was such a Transfiguration master by his side to guide him, the success rate of practicing Animagus would definitely be much more successful.
"And, you may not know, my magic riot happened very early, and my own magic reserves are no worse than those of those senior students, so I guess I want to ask you, can I practice Animagus now?"
If you want to convince Professor McGonagall, you must not rely on coquettishness to sell cuteness, you must show a rigorous attitude, so that the witch will think that you are not improvised, but have been prepared for a long time to practice.
Sure enough, after listening to William's words, Professor McGonagall put down the textbook in her hand and pondered for a long time, she frowned
"You know, there has never been a precedent for the practice of Animagus so early, not even at the Animag International Symposium."
"But," Professor McGonagall said, "if you can make the most of the school's teaching progress, and prove to me that those senior Transfigurations won't be too bad for you."
Then I'll allow you to try it, of course, only in my presence, and you must not secretly try the transformation of the Animagus in private. ”
"Hmmm! Don't worry, Professor McGonagall. I've learned about the dangers of Animagus and will never try it myself. ”
Just kidding, he wouldn't die like that!
