Chapter 52: The Alchemy Professor (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
After understanding McGonagall's intentions, Bai Zhenyu listened more and more seriously.
McGonagall continued, "This has given me some new ideas, maybe exercising the students' mental power will give them more help when performing Transfiguration."
"However, this kind of exercise can only be done between classes, and I am not sure if it will be useful.
"As for the way to exercise mental strength......"
Professor McGonagall took out a black crystal ball from the drawer, and for some reason, after Bai Zhenyu glanced at the black crystal ball, his gaze unconsciously turned elsewhere.
This reaction made him stunned slightly, and then looked at the black crystal ball, and his eyes unconsciously looked away.
McGonagall explains, "This is a prop I made out of the Spirit of the Dark Elves, and its purpose is to distract you from always looking away.
"You have to practice resisting its effects on you, and when you can stare at it for a minute or two, trust me, your concentration and perseverance will improve a lot.
"I think at that time, your Transfiguration will be able to improve accordingly!"
After speaking, McGonagall handed the black crystal ball to Bai Zhenyu.
Sure enough, the Hogwarts professor produced it is definitely a good thing.
Bai Zhenyu took the black crystal ball that seemed to be an inflated "dark elf spirit": "Thank you, Professor McGonagall." β
"You're welcome." McGonagall smiled, "I suggest you try it with Potter, Granger, and Weasley." β
"No problem!"
β¦β¦
In the Gryffindor common room, Bai Zhenyu, Harry, Hermione, and Ron gather around the black crystal ball on the table.
After a while, Ron blushed: "Well, I must admit, I may not have the talent for transfiguration, no matter how hard I try, I can't see this black crystal second time." β
"Don't be discouraged Ron, everyone is like this." Bai Zhenyu said: "To be honest, you have a lot of talent for transfiguration, but you don't want to work hard!" β
Ron smiled bitterly, "White, you don't have to comfort me. β
"I'm telling the truth." Bai Zhenyu said: "Among the four of us, Hermione, sorry Hermione, no offense."
"Hermione is the least gifted when it comes to transfiguration, but her transfiguration is better than you Ron.
"And Harry, too, have you forgotten how Hermione turned the stone pier into a terrarium alone in the spirit world?"
Harry had the same wry smile on his face as Ron's, "White, I don't think you offended Hermione, you offended me and Ron!" β
"Bai means that you have such a good talent but don't use it!" Hermione said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel:
"That's right, in many ways your talents are very good, but your grades and use of magic are mediocre, you are wasting your talents!"
Harry and Ron didn't speak, they were very convinced of Bai Zhenyu and Hermione in terms of hard work, at least let them soak in the library every day, it would be better to kill them.
"What's this black ball?" Ron's twin brother, Fred, leaned over and asked, "We just noticed, it seems to be special." β
George adds: "It's always overlooked, but that just proves that it's extraordinary. β
"It's a prop that, well, works on concentration." Bai Zhenyu explained: "It was Professor McGonagall who rewarded us. β
Ron had already blown about their experiences in the spirit world several times, and now the Gryffindor students were largely aware of their magical adventures.
Fred asked, "Can we take a look?" β
George also said: "I think it will give us a lot of inspiration. β
"Okay." Bai Zhenyu handed the black crystal to Fred: "I hope it's not about the inspiration for the prank." β
George smiled, "Of course not! β
Bai Zhenyu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Looking at your smile is enough to prove that I was right by me." β
Fred shrugged his shoulders and didn't deny it.
Bai Zhenyu turned around and said to Harry again: "If I am not mistaken, the professor who receives the materials we brought out from the spirit world will open a small stove for us." β
Ron pouted, "Is this a benefit to us?" β
"Can't say that about Ron." Hermione said, "Those materials don't work in our hands. β
"Hermione was right." Bai Zhenyu also followed: "If the professors can give us these things back, it means that they will not ask for our materials in vain."
"In my opinion, the more benefits like this, the better, I'm going to visit the Alchemy Professor, and Professor Snape, etc., and I hope you can come with me."
Bai Zhenyu's personal expectations for the alchemy professor are the highest, and it would be even better if he could observe the process of making props from the materials they provided.
Harry and Ron's faces immediately turned strange, and Harry asked, "Are you going to Professor Snape too?" β
"Of course." Bai Zhenyu said, "I'm looking forward to what potions Professor Snape will give us in return?" It's best to have enough magical attributes to save your life at a critical moment. β
Ron swallowed, "White, I think it's better for you not to get your hopes up too much, Professor Snape isn't very reasonable." β
"He just likes to keep a cold face," Bai Zhenyu said with a smile, "If you don't want to go, I'll go with Hermione." β
Hermione nodded, "Okay." Well, I'm not too interested in alchemy, so I won't accompany you to the alchemy professor.
"When you go to Professor Flitwick's, please remember to call me!"
Bai Zhenyu nodded: "No problem." β
At this time, there is a sudden commotion in the common room, and Fred and George are repeatedly fouling the game with the fact that no one can look directly at the black crystal ball for a long time.
While none of the other participants in the game noticed, the students who did not participate in the game did, and they all stepped forward to ask what the black crystal ball was.
Bai Zhenyu smiled: "If they are given a little more time, they will definitely find more uses for the black crystal ball." β
β¦β¦
On Thursday morning, Bai Zhenyu finished his class and came to the office of alchemy professor Bock alone.
It's really hard to find here, the alchemy classroom is in a separate tower, and it is said that this is because alchemy is too dangerous.
Professor Bock's office was above the alchemy classroom, with strange containers in the doorway, as well as many oddly shaped wooden or metal objects, as well as some common things like broomsticks.
Stepping over these messy things, Bai Zhenyu knocked on the door: "Professor Bock! β
"What's the doubt, go to the library, kid!" A young female voice came from inside: "I can hear that you are not my student, if you are still interested in alchemy in the sixth grade, come and take my class." β
Bai Zhenyu was slightly stunned: "Professor, I'm Bai Zhenyu!" β
"Oh, it's you!" The female voice said, "Come in." β

Recommendation tickets are available every day, so what's the harm in getting two!
Well, I couldn't get this sentence to rhyme after trying for a long timeγγγγγ
