Chapter 15: The Potions Lesson

"Observe, imagine, release, shape, firm, these are the five steps of Transfiguration."

"You have to have a strong control over your magic, you have to believe in it, don't hesitate, don't let your wild little brains interfere with it."

"Miss Brown, I said it, look closely!"

"Very good, very good, you can see, Mr. Prewitt and Miss Granger's matches have changed, and Gryffindor adds 20 points."

In the spacious Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall raised her hands and showed the young wizards in her hands the two needles in her hand, though to the other students, they looked more like two wooden thorns.

This was their first Transfiguration lesson, and after jotting down a large number of intricate notes in the Beginner's Transfiguration Guide, Professor McGonagall gave each of them a match and tried to turn them into a needle.

This kind of Transfiguration Charm, which turns one dead thing into another, is only the most rudimentary stage of the Transfiguration Charm, but it is still very difficult for young wizards.

In Clark's opinion, the Transfiguration of the Harry Potter world, called "Transfiguration", should actually be said to be "Distortion".

As long as I believe, I think, it will come the way I think. I say it's a needle, it's a needle, it looks like a needle, it's also sharp to the touch, can you say it's not a needle?

Under the effect of the spiritual power of chaos magic, the wizard twists one thing into another, and as for the transformation of matter, the loss and increase of mass, as well as the change of physical properties, and even some logical thinking, there is no need to consider.

It all depends on whether the sorcerer's mind is strong, whether they believe in their hearts, and whether their magic is strong.

"It's magical!"

Clark was intrigued by this "deer for horse" spell, which reminded him of the "observer effect" in quantum mechanics.

Like the magic of chaos, quantum mechanics is chaotic and disorderly, and the wizard who has the magic of chaos is a strong observer, thinking and seeing.

Compared to the weak willpower of other young wizards, Clarke, who has the blessing of the [Focus] skill, uses the Transfiguration Charm very smoothly.

First observe the needle, then imagine it in your mind, then release the magic of chaos, wrap the match, infiltrate it, and silently tell yourself when waving your wand and chanting the incantation, "This is a needle!" It's a needle! ”

Magic and will are combined, and the rest, everything is left to Providence, after all, chaos magic, there will always be accidents.

Clark cast the Transfiguration Charm for the first time, and the effect was quite good, at least halfway through, successfully turning the match into a wooden needle, and Hermione's needle tail still had a little red match head.

But the short ones are taller, and they are already better than most of their classmates.

Seamus, for example, managed to light a dozen matches, while Harry magnified the matches several times, and as for Ron, in front of him was a strange wooden stick twisted like a twig.

Unfortunately, not all classes allow him to use his strengths as well as Transfiguration and Charms, and not all teachers like Clark that much.

"Bang dang!"

In the cold and damp basement, the door was pushed open hard, slammed against the wall, and then bounced back, honestly plugging in the latch itself.

True Hogwarts Oil Human High Quality Male Charlotte, like a winged curling demon (a magical creature thrown out like a yo-yo in the movies), strides to the stage with a black cloak and a straight face.

"Put down your wands and don't act without permission in my class! Otherwise, you might have tasted some special drinks. ”

He stood on the podium and glanced around, and under the cold gaze, the little wizards were all silent.

"I'm your Potions teacher, Professor Snape, and you're here today to learn the esoteric and subtle art of configuring potions."

Clark nodded subconsciously, no, only teaching the operation steps, not explaining the pharmacological effects and the hidden occult knowledge behind it, this is really just a craft to make a living.

But also, knowledge has a price, and Clark is convinced.

In the continent of Faerun, if you want to become a noble mage, then it often means that you need to spend countless gold coins and a long time.

Hogwarts is actually free, and it also provides accommodation and food all year round, and various banquets are held on holidays, which is already the best welfare in the wizarding world.

So it's a dream to learn advanced potions knowledge in a simple way.

It's good to have some standard general knowledge to learn.

"There's very little magic needed here, so I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of the white smoke and rich aroma of the simmering, simmering cauldron."

Clarke, who was sitting below, really wanted to raise his hand and shout at the moment, "Professor, I know, it's the base, and the pot has a hot pot base added to it."

However, this is just thinking about it, it is the first class, and he still wants to make a good impression on the teacher.

Snape looked at Draco Malfoy, who was sitting in the back row, and was in today's lesson with Slytherin, so he was there too.

"But for the few students who are really gifted, I can teach you how to disturb the mind." This should be the elixir.

"How to confuse the senses," it must have been an aphrodisiac, but does Snape teach you this thing with a black belly? It wouldn't have been for Harry's mom.

"How to earn fame and make honor." The elixir has this effect.

"Or even prevent death." Snape must be bragging, the Philosopher's Stone is only one person who will.

"But one thing has to be that you're not the kind of idiots I meet so often."

After his catchy opening remarks, the class fell silent.

Clark mentally complained about everything he said. Hermione, on the other hand, almost moved to the edge of her chair and leaned forward, as if eager to prove that she was a gifted student.

But Snape just turned his cold gaze to Harry Potter and said sarcastically, "Then again, maybe some of you came to Hogwarts with extraordinary abilities and enough confidence to think that you could not concentrate on my lessons. ”

While Harry was still looking down and taking notes, Clark quickly touched him with his elbow, and when he looked up, he saw Professor Snape staring at him like a poisonous snake, spitting foul venom from his mouth.

"Mr. Potter, our generation of celebrities, tell me what you would get if you added daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion?"

What grass root powder is put into what solution?

Harry looked to his right, confused

Ron glanced at him, and Ron was stunned just like him; He looked at Clark on his left, the "embodiment of knowledge" who was looking down at the book in front of him, as if trying to see the flowers in it; Only Hermione beside Clark had her arms raised.

"I don't know, sir." Harry said.

Snape pursed his lips contemptuously, and began to taunt the child, who looked like his rival. Although his eyes were like his mother's, it made him even more uncomfortable.

"Tsk, tsk - it seems that fame doesn't mean everything."

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to go and find me a piece of dungstone, where would you find it?"

"I don't know."
