Chapter 72: Classes

After Meimei slept for a while, she felt a ray of morning light hit her face, and Ios woke up.

After washing up and changing his clothes, Ios found a piece of parchment, on which was the course schedule of their freshmen, which the prefect had given to each of them last night, but he was too tired to put it on the table casually, and did not look at it closely.

But after a closer look, he was speechless, the first lesson was the history of magic? Whose idea was this? The other freshmen didn't know it, but he did, the history of magic was the most boring course at Hogwarts!

Having said that, you still have to be on time for the first class, otherwise you will directly leave a bad impression on the teacher and classmates.

After breakfast, he found the classroom. Hogwarts has a total of 142 staircases, and they change location frequently, so you have to spend a lot of time memorizing the patterns of their changes, otherwise you may get lost.

And there are 'traps' in these staircases, some of which suddenly disappear and you can get your foot stuck in them if you don't remember to jump over them.

Watching the ghost teacher enter through the wall, Ios couldn't help but sigh, was it because he was too old or some other reason that he forgot to take his body with him when he woke up and went to class and became a ghost?

However, perhaps it was the reason for the ghost--but not the other ghosts, Professor Binns was visibly emotionless, and he lectured without emotion, listening to his monotonous voice, many of whom were drowsy.

Ios was also uninterested, so he had no choice but to flip through the book to learn about the history of the wizarding world. Not to mention, he really gained a lot of knowledge that he didn't know through novels and movies before.

The next lesson was Charms, and looking at Dean Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick, who was standing on a stack of books and barely reaching the lectern, Ios didn't feel funny, after all, Professor Flitwick was a talented wizard and worthy of respect.

The learning of magic is difficult and long, and they have been taught a magic by Professor Flitwick after the whole class, so there are still many people who have not mastered it proficiently, and can only rely on their own after-school practice.

It's just that they say they practice by themselves, but how many of these young freshmen can have this kind of realization? So unless they practice the spell when they need it, don't expect any other time.

Of course, this refers to ordinary people, and geniuses are naturally not included in it. The so-called genius is to achieve better results than others in the same time.

Ravenclaw has the largest number of bright minds in all of Hogwarts, and naturally there are more geniuses than other houses. So, while many people were still stumbling over a spell that didn't have any effect, they had already achieved some results, and some even mastered the spell before the end of the course.

What the? Ios, you ask? He's not a genius, what's there to ask, he's a hanger!

In view of the excellent performance of Ios and the others, Professor Flitwick happily added fifty points to Ravenclaw. As the Dean of Ravenclaw, what could make him happier than the outstanding performance of the students of his own college?

The second period is a herbal medicine class, which needs to be taken three times a week. This is not a classroom lesson to learn from a book, but a practical lesson, led by Professor Sprout, in a greenhouse behind the castle.

All sorts of exotic plants and fungi are cultivated there, and it's up to them to learn how to grow them and master their uses.

In the afternoon, they were in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. Obviously, the strict Professor McGonagall will not simply teach, and give them a disgrace in the first class:

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous form of magic you'll ever learn at Hogwarts! Anyone who dares to be mischievous in my class, I will ask him to go out, and he will never be allowed to come in again! I warned you. ”

Obviously, she says this to the freshmen every year. However, Transfiguration is indeed not a simple magic, and it contains a lot of knowledge, and the slightest mistake will fail.

Professor McGonagall turned the lectern into a sheep, and then changed it back again. This hand immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they wanted to try it themselves.

However, under Professor McGonagall's explanation, everyone understood that it was too difficult for them to turn a dead thing into a living thing, and it was basically impossible for them to do it, and what they needed was to try to turn the object into a simple other thing first.

So, after taking a lot of complicated and difficult notes, they tried to turn the match that Professor McGonagall had just given them into a needle.

Looking at the pile of notes he had written, Ios had to admit that Transfiguration was indeed complicated. Achieving perfect transformation requires a good understanding of things, in addition to precise control of one's own magic.

Let's not talk about the former, it's just that it's good to say that there is too much knowledge to become a Transfiguration master! The amount of time and effort required is staggering, and the benefits are hardly satisfying.

And the latter, don't talk about talented people, they were born to be angry, think about the children of other people's families in the mouths of their parents when they were young, I believe that many people suffer from it.

If you don't have talent, then you can only rely on stupid methods - practice again and again.

Although Ravenclaw is a concentration camp for smart people, it doesn't mean that everyone in it is a top student, at best a little bit smarter. The reason why a genius is a genius is because of its rarity, and there is so much difference between genius and mediocrity all over the street?

However, no matter how complex and profound Transfiguration is, it is only for the whole, and it is not at all difficult for Ios to change a needle at this level.

He only used his magic once, and after that he had learned a little bit, the second match changed slightly, and then the second time, and the third time, and the fourth time he finally turned it into a shiny, sharp steel needle.

At this time, the rest of the class was still not improving, but Professor McGonagall noticed his movement here and walked over, "It's... Talented! Your talent for Transfiguration is amazing! ”

Professor McGonagall, who had always been serious, gave a rare smile and said with admiration.

"You've won the prize, Professor McGonagall." Ios replied modestly. It wasn't a big deal to him, and if he couldn't do that, then he would have to wonder if his abilities had dropped too much since he regained his body.

Professor McGonagall was even more satisfied with his humble manners, and she showed the class how Ios turned a match into a needle, and gave Ravenclaw ten points.

At the end of the day, Ios' first day at Hogwarts came to an end.
