020. Discussion、Impossible magic
Time passed quickly, and Professor McGonagall waved her wand when she saw that all the students had finished reading the paper.
The wand made a crackling sound that caught everyone's attention.
"I see that all the students have already read the paper."
Professor McGonagall lowered her right hand holding her wand.
"Now that we're free to discuss, we can all share our thoughts on the content of this paper."
"It's a whimsy, Professor."
Angelina was the first to speak, looking at her notebook as she spoke.
Scott saw that the page of her notebook was already full of messy words.
"It's a bold idea, and it's fun." Angelina shook her head again, "But I must say that Mr. Weasley's idea may be too wild. ”
She used the quill in her hand to draw a few circles in her notebook.
"I've only tested it theoretically, but I don't seem to see the possibility of realizing this idea."
Professor McGonagall listened to her and only nodded, not commenting.
"What about the others, do you think differently from Miss Johnson?"
"I'd like to share my opinion, Professor."
Scott looked over and saw that it was Percy Weasley who was standing up.
"Please, Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall gestured.
"I don't say that because Bill is my brother, but I don't think it's entirely impossible for the idea laid out in this paper."
Percy also cited several points of corroboration given in the paper.
"The mysterious wizarding world of Egypt hides a lot of ancient magical knowledge that is unknown to us. I think that while it is impossible to verify the conjectures in the paper with the magic we have learned so far, it is very likely that the Egyptians did so in ancient times. ”
Looking at Percy's performance, Scott was surprised again.
He could see that Percy also admired his eldest brother. If you think about Percy's character, you know that Bill Weasley is really amazing.
"Hmm."
Professor McGonagall nodded again, motioning for Percy to sit down.
"What about the others?" Her eyes looked at the other students in the classroom.
Then, the other members of the Transfiguration Club also stood up to express their opinions.
It's just that the vast majority of the students' statements are similar to Angelina's statements.
They thought that the conjecture in the paper was indeed interesting and could give them some inspiration, but they thought that this conjecture could only stay at the stage of conjecture in the end.
Even a few students who spoke out disagreed with Percy's words. They believe that such conjectural magic may have existed in ancient times, but they also believe that it is impossible to reproduce it in modern times, when ancient magic has lost much of its heritage.
"I think the conjecture set out in this paper is actually replacing the role of alchemy with Transfiguration."
Cedric was talking.
"The idea of using ancient scriptures and spells to enhance the power of Transfiguration on the basis of Transfiguration is not 100% impossible in rigorous theory. But I don't think there's any difficulty that a wizard can do. ”
"We all know that when we use magic, the combination of just two simple spells can stump most wizards."
"Not to mention the fusion of different systems of magic, such as Transfiguration, Spells, and Ancient Scripts, I think the difficulty is desperate."
He held up his notebook and showed off the dense handwriting on it.
"I'm just theoretically enumerating the magical knowledge needed to make this conjecture possible, and of course, that's just what I can think of." He reluctantly said, "I don't know how to achieve more parts." ”
He put down his notebook.
"To be honest, that alone scares me." He looked up at Professor McGonagall again, "Suppose, even if all the problems are solved in theory, I don't think anyone will be able to use them smoothly in practice. ”
"Maybe if it's Merlin?" He made a joke at the end and laughed to himself.
Professor McGonagall curled her lips as she nodded to Cedric, then looked at Scott.
"The last one, what do you think, Mr. Trollope."
"I'm interested in this paper and its author, Professor."
Scott stood up and said with a smile.
"I will write to Mr. Weasley, the author of the paper." He glanced back at Percy, "There are five Weasleys in Gryffindor now, any one of them, and I hope to introduce them." ”
Everyone in the classroom laughed, even Percy, who gestured to Scott with no problem.
"I think what you need is to give your opinion on this paper, Mr. Trollope." Professor McGonagall said, "Instead of saying what you want to do with the author of the paper. ”
"Hahahahaha......"
At this moment, everyone else couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Uh......"
Scott looked at Professor McGonagall with a smile in his eyes, but he choked on the sturgeon.
I didn't expect you to be such a Professor McGonagall!
Hum! It's you, Ying Qilan!
"Okay."
When the laughter stopped, Scott continued: "Honestly, I used to think the same thing as this paper. ”
There were several boos in the classroom.
Scott ignored it, "Of course, that's just my fantasy and doesn't have any actual basis. ”
"So when I saw the paper, I was very excited. After all, Mr. Weasley's paper was much better than my daydream, and at least he listed some supporting evidence. ”
Scott paused.
"Those magical creations left behind in the ancient Egyptian pyramids can't achieve such a seamless effect with theoretical alchemy, but theoretically perfect transfiguration can."
Speaking of this, there was a strong emotion in his eyes, which was greed and thirst for knowledge.
"I see how happy you are to see you, Mr. Trollope." The smile on Professor McGonagall's face had faded, "I would suggest that you just broaden your horizons and be inspired by other people's papers, but I don't think it's a good thing for you to indulge in it." ”
She didn't want to hear Scott say any more, so she reached out and pressed her palm, motioning for Scott to sit down.
"Yes, Professor."
Scott obediently closed his mouth and sat down.
This is the end of the discussion of this paper.
Professor McGonagall then proceeded to teach the members of the Transfiguration Club some useful tips for using Transfiguration.
Scott hurriedly put the paper aside and listened carefully.
When the day was over, Professor McGonagall asked Scott to stay.
