Chapter Twenty-Eight: Granger in Confusion
After the young wizards had taken a lot of intricate notes, Professor McGonagall finally allowed the young wizards to get to work.
She gave each of the students a match and asked them to try to turn it into a needle.
"Remember the three principles of unleashing Transfiguration, the right spell, the firm determination, and the clear goal." Professor McGonagall re-emphasized.
William looked up and looked around, and Terry seemed to be a little too determined.
The boy's face was a little red, but the match still lay there as if nothing had happened.
"Merlin is on top, it's too hard." Terry huffed and lowered his wand and grumbled at William.
"Actually, the gesture you made was wrong, and the correct gesture is like this."
William took out his wand, and easily turned the match in front of him into a long, sharply pointed needle, with an eye, and at the end of the needle was adorned by a delicately shaped eagle.
"Everyone, Mr. Friedrich has succeeded! Ravenclaw plus ten! Merlin, this is the most subtle transfiguration spell I've ever seen at your age. ”
Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted Hermione, who was trying to cast the Transfiguration Charm.
Did he succeed so quickly? The girl looked at the match in front of her, which had only changed slightly, and thought a little deflated.
Why is he so good? The girl couldn't understand why the gap was so big for the same eleven-year-old little wizard.
Granger was a little confused, if he had chosen to go to Ravenclaw in the first place, somehow, such a question suddenly popped into the girl's mind.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
In fact, Hermione was the only wizard other than William who could make a little change in matches.
And our savior, Mr. Potter, doesn't seem to have a great talent for Transfiguration, and Ron doesn't ,,,,, mention it.
Merlin is on top, and a little witch like Hermione is a normal genius. As for William, he can already be called a demon.
After all, while other young wizards were still laughing and playing, William was already studying magic diligently.
After all these years, if you can't perform even a simple transfiguration technique, it would be too worthy of the name of a genius, wouldn't it?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Merlin is on top, and you've added those twenty points back for only one day?" Penelope looked at Terry in disbelief.
"It's not me, it's William, he did quite well in both Charms and Transfiguration classes, and the two professors gave him a lot of points."
In the auditorium in the evening, William could feel that during his meal, he was looking at himself a lot more than usual. While the little wizards were chattering and eating, they would secretly watch William with their spare eyes.
I guess my performance in class was spread. I seem to be a little too high-profile, and I have added twenty-five points to the two classes. To be honest, William didn't like being pointed at like a monkey in a zoo.
"If William continues with this momentum, this year's Academy Cup Ravenclaw will be indisputably accepted." Penelope smiled.
"You know, Ravenclaw hasn't won the House Cup for a long time, and the House Cup has been taken away by Slytherin in the past few years, and they are really unscrupulous in order to win this honor."
The girl said viciously, "This year we must let them know that the House Cup will belong to Ravenclaw!" ”
"Probably not, Senpai Penelope. The professors don't give me that many points all the time. After these few days, there should be a lot less points to be added. ”
William was self-aware, and he knew that when the professors realized their ability to earn points, they wouldn't let him score so easily.
After all, the gap between William and the little wizards of the same level is too big, if William is allowed to earn points so unscrupulously, then what is the other three academies playing.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
William quickly adapted to the life of Hogwarts, going to various classrooms during the day, going to the library to read books or think about the different uses of magic spells when there were no classes, or finding an empty classroom to conduct alchemy experiments.
Every Wednesday night, William and the other three young wizards of the academy would go to the Astronomical Tower, located at the highest point of the castle, to observe the stars with telescopes and learn the names of the different constellations and the orbits of the planets.
To be honest, William didn't really believe in the astrological instructions, because William felt that these plausible things seemed to be understood from any direction. It's hard to have an accurate judgment, but there's no harm in learning it, is it?
As for divination, William knew that the Hogwarts Divination professor was a soothsayer who could make true predictions.
Although he usually acts a little crazy, he still has some skills at a critical time, and it seems that he can consider choosing a divination class in the third year.
In addition, three times a week, William, led by a stocky witch named Sprout, went to the greenhouse at the back of the castle to study herbology. In this class, William and the young wizards need to learn how to cultivate these exotic plants and fungi and understand their uses.
Professor Sprout is not only a professor of herbalism, but also the head of Hufflepuff, a very kind and kind witch who also takes great care of the young wizards, and is also very beloved by the students.
Witches have the same good character as Hufflepuff, after the original Hogwarts, the Big Four joined forces.
The brave, courageous students were chosen by Gryffindor, the bright, intelligent students were sorted into Ravenclaw, and the Slytherin would only pick the shrewd, ambitious students with pure blood.
Only Helga Hufflepuff selflessly took in students who were not chosen by the other Big Three, and treated all students equally.
For those students who have a talent for spellcasting but are not chosen by the other three, Hufflepuff can guarantee that they will continue their studies at Hogwarts instead of returning to the Muggle world in disgrace.
I have to say that this is a very great witch.
The Lady used integrity, loyalty, honesty, and hardship as the motto of Hufflepuff, and produced generations of excellent wizards.
Although they are not as distinct as other houses, Hufflepuff has the largest number of wizards who graduate, and they form the cornerstone of the wizarding world in Britain and Europe as a whole.
It is worth mentioning that she was also the most outstanding herbalist of the century, inventing numerous food-related spells that had a profound impact on the modern wizarding world.
It is also worth mentioning that after the library horror on the first day of school, Mrs. Pince seems to have returned to normal, and that strange behavior has never been seen again.
William had seen her reprimand the little wizards who did not follow the discipline of the library and did not care for the books more than once, as if the experience of the first night had been a hallucination.
As for that strange dream, it never appeared again. William didn't know what the eyes above the darkness were, and he searched through many books and couldn't find a clue, but one thing was for sure, it wasn't a basilisk!
