Chapter 69 [Strange Discovery]
There are not many first-year courses at Hogwarts, but they are all the basics that need to be learned as a wizard, basic magic, transfiguration, herbs, potions, flying lessons, Liao Long was speechless to witness the tardiness of Harry and Ron, and then was simply reprimanded by McGonagall without deducting the house scores.
In McGonagall's Transfiguration class, Liao Long clearly understood the difference between Transfiguration and Animagus, Transfiguration is a magic that requires a wizard to use a wand on a target, this magic can be used for all kinds of things, even humans, but one thing is that what is transfiguration will completely become what you want to change, and completely lose the qiē characteristics that it should have.
For example, after Liao Long called a goblet and turned into a thrush, it was really like a thrush that could chirp, fly and even eat and excrete, it can be said that this is a completely changed inanimate dead thing into another living animal, but its life form is not perfect, the thrush itself has a very strict composition defect, a clever wizard can see at a glance that something has been transfigured, and ordinary sorcerers can also use identification magic to distinguish transfiguration.
Another type of magic that has the same ability as Transfiguration is called Animax, which is a very clever and sophisticated magic that has a lot to do with one's talent, either innately or acquired, but if the talent is not good, no matter how much training is used, it is impossible to become an Animagus.
Wizards with Animagus can easily change into animals, and completely retain the ability to think and act of human thinking, which is very different from Transfiguration, and according to McGonagall, Animagus is not like Transfiguration can be transformed into any object, but can only be transformed into various animals, and everyone's Animagus is basically fixed, that is, after a person uses Animagus to change into a cat, then he can only change into a cat when he uses this magic in the future, Just like McGonagall, even a magic-savvy goblin wouldn't be able to tell if a wizard was using the Animagus transformation.
Due to Harry and Ron's tardiness, Liao Long lent them his notes, and it didn't take long for McGonagall to announce the end of the class, where the duration of a class was an hour, but the professor's actual lecture time was less than half an hour, and the rest of the time was basically for the students to practice or study on their own, and the students could also ask the professor questions at will.
After McGonagall's Transfiguration class, Liao Long and some other students will have half an hour of free time, and then have a second class, I heard that it is Snape's Potions class, I don't know why Gryffindor Liao Long's first year class schedule is all with Slytherin, which means that the two houses are in class together at any time.
And because Liao Long and Harry gave Malfoy an ugly thing when they entered the school, this guy kept mocking the two of them as soon as he got into the loophole, of course, along with Ron and Hermione, mocking Ron is very common in Malfoy's family, which should be because Lucius has a bad relationship with Ron's father Arthur, and as for Hermione, it is completely because she was born.
As soon as Kara~Peng~ Liao Long and Hermione were seated, the door to the Potions classroom was opened by Snape in a very violent way: "This class doesn't require you to wave your wand stupidly or whisper spells, so ~~ I don't expect most people to understand the sophisticated methods and correct methods of making potions, but those who are outstanding and have special talents" Snape said to a bunch of students as soon as he entered the door, in fact, he said this to Gryffindor, And the last one to talk about is Slytherin.
"I can teach you how to disturb your mind and confuse your senses, how to earn fame, how to boil glory, how to stop death, and... maybe some of you have an extraordinary ability when you enter the school, leaving you too lazy to listen," Snape kept his eyes on Harry and Liao Long as he spoke, and he was the only one in the class who kept their heads down and kept writing something.
Hearing the change in Snape's tone, Hermione hurriedly elbowed Liao Long, and then looked at Harry and motioned for Snape to say more about the two of them.
Seeing this, Liao Long sighed helplessly and stopped recording something, and then hit Harry with his elbow as well, reminding him not to write anything yet.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Dragon, our new celebrity, Mr. Potter, what will happen if you add narcissus root to wormwood liquid?" Snape walked in Harry and asked suddenly.
Hearing this question, Liao Long frowned first, it should be that this is not something that first-year freshmen need to learn, and Hermione hurriedly raised her hand to help Harry, but Snape didn't even look at it.
Harry shook his head very honestly when he heard Snape suddenly ask him a question, and then looked at Hermione a little embarrassed, but Snape actually said: "You don't know" Harry had no choice but to nod his head and indicate that he really didn't know the answer.
"Okay, Mr. Long, I want your piece of bezoar for me, where do you want to find it?" Seeing that Harry didn't answer the question, Snape turned his attention to the dragon again.
Seeing that Snape didn't continue to ask Harry, but asked himself and couldn't help frowning: "If you want to find the bezoar, of course, go to the cow's stomach" This question is very simple, Liao Long answered Snape very decisively, although the question is very simple, but this is also for Liao Long, it should be that the bezoar is also a medicinal herb in the hands of Chinese doctors.
Hearing Liao Long's correct answer, Snape had no one to look at him, and then began to ask Harry: "What is the difference between a boat-shaped aconitum and a wolf-shaped aconitum?" ”
"I don't know, sir" Harry didn't know about it, but he admitted he didn't.
"Poor, apparently fame doesn't mean a qiē, does it, Mr. Potter?" Seeing that Harry didn't answer correctly twice, Snape said in a slow mocking tone, but his eyes were indeed unusually stern, projecting an imperceptible concern.
Harry, who was a little unbearable by Snape's ridicule, retorted: "Obviously Hermione knows everything, why don't you ask her" Seeing Harry talking to himself in such an attitude, Snape gritted his teeth slightly and shook off the cloak on his body and came to Harry, and said to Hermione at the same time: "Put down your hand"
Sitting in front of Harry, Snape explained the answers to Harry's three questions: "How?" Why don't you copy it down? Although he was very strict about asking everyone to record these three questions, Snape's strict sù never left Harry, and this scene made Liao Long secretly write it down, based on the knowledge of special warfare, Snape seemed to be trying to hint at something, but Harry was too young to understand this.
