Chapter 10 The so-called law of metamorphosis
In just one lesson, Kitty and Snake put the status of Defence Against the Dark Arts and the history of magic on a par. The history of magic can also be used as a sleeping lesson by young wizards, and Defence Against the Dark Arts has to endure waves of strange smells in addition to listening to Quirrell's boring textbooks.
The classroom experience is extremely poor!
Terry and Stewart complained to Ike as they walked in the direction of the Charms classroom.
"I've long heard that the professors of the Defence Against the Dark Arts course are generally unreliable, who would have thought that this would be the case!" Terry rubbed his nose and complained, "It's a shame that Professor Quirrell was once an excellent graduate of Ravenclaw!" ”
"Why would Dumbledore let such a man be a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts!"
Ike smiled perfunctorily, he wasn't in the mood to explain to the two of them the history of wizarding wizards such as the indissoluble bond between the Dark Lord and Defence Against the Dark Arts, and he wouldn't say it at all.
The less you know, the happier you are, and the happy time for the little wizards is only this year.
The Charms class was on the other side of the fourth floor of the castle and was with the lion cubs.
Professor Flitwick stood on a tall step stool and beckoned the little wizards, especially the little lions, to take their seats.
"I'm Filius Flitwick, you can call me Professor Flitwick, your Charms professor."
"Today we're going to learn the Illumination Spell, and the spell is a fluorescent flicker."
"This is one of the most common spells used by wizards, there is no complicated wand movement, just wave the wand and pronounce the spell, and it will be easy to succeed."
"Of course, you also have to maintain a firm faith, the release of the spell is inseparable from this, and if you hesitate, the spell will fail."
Professor Flitwick explained what to look out for when chanting spells, and let the young wizards try it out for themselves.
Soon, a little witch with shaggy hair in Gryffindor succeeded, and a soft white light emerged from the tip of the staff, causing a cheer.
"Excellent! The perfect lighting spell, Miss Granger! Flitwick was delighted, "Gryffindor plus five points!" ”
Hermione's proud little head lifted when she heard the praise, like a proud little lion.
Seeing this, Terry couldn't help but pout and stabbed Ike, who didn't move at all.
"Ike, what are you waiting for? This is our own dean, so let's put on a show. ”
Stuart was also heckling around, and although he had only lived in a dormitory for two days, he had also seen Ike work his magic.
To be able to use the levitation spell to that extent, the Illumination Charm is certainly not bad.
Ike rolled his eyes angrily, "You swung your wand too much, just a little bit like Miss Granger." ”
"Damn it!" Stewart didn't give Ike a chance to change the subject, "Bonus points! Bonus points! ”
"Okay."
Ike was defeated by the eye attack of the two, and he didn't move his right hand holding the wand, but stretched out his left hand, which seemed to be turning a light bulb in the air, and a soft white light simply stayed on Ike's fingertips.
"Oh my God!"
"It's unbelievable!"
Every move in the classroom could not escape Professor Flitwick's perception, and naturally he noticed this scene.
"No first grade wizard has ever done this! Mr. Stred, Ravenclaw is ten points! ”
"Cast spells silently! Cast spells without a fight! Unbelievable! ”
"Mr. Stred, can you tell me how you managed to do that?"
Ike stood up and bowed slightly, "I practiced for a long time during the holidays, Professor Flitwick. ”
"Unbelievable!" Professor Flitwick still didn't calm down, "I don't think anyone can do it better than you when it comes to the Illumination Charm alone. ”
"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." Ike smiled and sat down.
In the next second, the skill is activated!
Snape's gaze!
Target: Stewart, Terry!
The two shuddered in unison and turned their heads to concentrate on casting the Illumination Charm.
Soon, the little wizards all succeeded in using the lighting spell, but some were brighter, some were darker, and the three magical numbers "857" appeared inexplicably in Ike's mind.
Counting Ike's shiny ball of light, it's even more like.
After class, on the way to the auditorium, Stewart and Terry kept talking softly, and for the sake of the insignificant benefits such as free wake-up call service every day and unconditional help with things, Ike of course chose to forgive the two.
There was only one Transfiguration class from Professor McGonagall in the afternoon, which Ike had been looking forward to for a long time.
Compared to other spells, Ike's Transfiguration isn't that great. Even if he was familiar with Gamp's basic transfiguration rules, Ike's transfiguration technique still had obvious flaws.
Even if you turn a match into a needle, the silver-white needle has some wood lines on it.
Although the needle is sharp, it is still imperfect.
This also caused Ike's useless notebook system to never have a Transfiguration level.
The Transfiguration classroom was on the first floor of the castle, and the Ravenclaw students arrived early in the room, but they never saw Professor McGonagall, and there was only a tabby cat sitting on the podium.
Ike knew it was Professor McGonagall's Animagus, and there was a distinct spectacle-like pattern around the cat's eyes.
As he remembers, Harry and Ron were late for a nap at noon, and under Ron's horrified gaze, the tabby cat leaped off the podium and landed with Professor McGonagall with a stern face.
"I think you need to learn the importance of punctuality, or I'll turn you into an alarm clock." Professor McGonagall asked the two of them to quickly sit down, "Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous magic you can learn at Hogwarts. ”
"Anyone who messes with me in class, I will ask him out and never allow him to come in again." As he spoke, he glanced at Harry and Ron as if inadvertently, causing them to shrink their necks unconsciously.
With a wave of his wand, Professor McGonagall transformed the podium into a majestic lion, and as the lion moved, the hair on her body fluttered as if it were a fluttering lion.
With another wave of his wand, the lion transforms back into the podium. Ike stared at the scene closely, and unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
"The performance of Transfiguration requires strict adherence to the Basic Transfiguration Law of Gamp, which has been summed up by countless wizards with bloody lessons, and I hope you will keep it firmly in mind."
Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the blackboard behind her appeared in turn Gamp's Basic Transfiguration Rules.
"First, food. Remember, never, never, never use Transfiguration to turn anything else into food, and never, never, never, never eat the Transfiguration food. Transfiguration does not change the nature of the item, turning a stone into food, it is still essentially a stone, and it does not fill the stomach. ”
"Second, you can't turn living things into magical creatures. Human deformation is the most dangerous and complex part of transfiguration, the longer it remains transformed, the stronger the impact on the wizard, and in severe cases, it will permanently carry the characteristics or habits of animals, which is irreversible! Magical creatures, on the other hand, have magical powers, and even turning into magical creatures can have very serious consequences. Since ancient times, many magical creatures have actually been created by wizards abusing Transfiguration, and I don't want to witness the birth of a new magical creature! ”
"Third, you can't deform out of thin air. Transfiguration must be applied to a specific object, and if you cast Transfiguration out of thin air, you should be glad that it will not succeed in the vast majority of cases. And if you succeed, you'll die a tragic death instantly! ”
"Fourth, Transfiguration cannot be used on items with magic attached. Transfiguration cannot be applied to enchanted items, and Autoquills, Thermocauldrons, Memory Orbs, and even Golden Galleons cannot be altered by Transfiguration. Please do not try it, it will have very serious consequences! ”
Professor McGonagall paused, then became a little more serious: "Finally, never, never, never, never transform what you imagine!" ”
"You just have to remember about this and never try it! You don't know what exactly becomes of what you imagine under the influence of magic! ”
Ike wrote down the basic deformation rules of Gamp in turn in his notebook, and although there are relevant contents in the "Guide to Elementary Transfiguration", they are far less detailed than Professor McGonagall's.
After all, a textbook is a textbook, and it still needs to be explained by a professor.
Professor McGonagall saw that the students remembered about it, so one of them handed out a match: "In this lesson, we will learn how to turn a match into a needle, which is the most basic transfiguration......"
After explaining in detail what needed to be paid attention to during the transformation process and writing it on the blackboard behind her, Professor McGonagall asked the young wizards to start trying.
After Professor McGonagall's explanation, Ike learned more about Transfiguration. Compared to other spells, Transfiguration is much more rigorous and relies more on the determination of the 3D principles. After all, it is to turn one object into another, and if you don't believe it, if you don't have a firm heart, you will be incompletely deformed.
Think a wine glass with a rat's tail, a needle that can be lit, and a beetle button that crawls around.
The little wizards are generally out of the box, and if their minds are not firm, the Transfiguration will naturally not succeed. For a while, the wand fluttered, and the sound of "rapid transformation" came and went.
Professor McGonagall walked back and forth between the young wizards, pointing out mistakes in Transfiguration, but nothing was progressing.
Walking up to Ike, seeing that Ike was still staring at the match and didn't mean to move his wand, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Stred, why don't you try?" ”
Ike smiled as warmly as Professor McGonagall remembered, and waved his wand.
"Rapid transformation!"
I saw that the match on the table quickly turned into the shape of a needle with the wave of Ike's wand, and there was only a wooden pattern left on it.
"Very good! Mr. Stred! Professor McGonagall looked pleased, "Ravenclaw plus ten!" ”
"Did you practice on your own during the holidays?"
Ike nodded, a sad look on his face, "Yes, Professor McGonagall. But it's still not a needle. As he spoke, he turned the needle back into what it had been before the lecture.
"After listening to your explanation, I have only achieved this level, and this line cannot be eliminated."
Professor McGonagall patted Ike on the shoulder, "It's a success, if you want to be perfect, you have to keep practicing, maybe by the time the class is over, you can conjure up a perfect needle." ”
"Of course, you can also not push too hard, sometimes take it easy, maybe it will be better?"
Hearing this, Ike suddenly understood.
Yes, the 3D principle is a solid triangle, and any point that is too heavy will affect the success of the spell.
"Rapid transformation!"
This time, the needle was extremely smooth and there were no more lines.
