Chapter 45: Transfiguration Genius

This Transfiguration lesson was an eye-opener for many young wizards.

The difficulty of the Transfiguration Charm has led to the fact that even the parents of many of them are still not proficient in the use of Transfiguration Charms.

Naturally, it is not clear what this kind of magic, which does not have many standard spells, is used in actual combat. As a result, many of them are not very attentive to this lesson.

But those powerful little wizards who knew the Transfiguration Charm listened quite seriously.

But no matter how carefully they listened to the lecture and watched Professor McGonagall's demonstration, they were at a loss when facing the match in front of them.

"What's going to happen to this thing?"

Harry looked at the match in front of him, and looked at Ron beside him in confusion. Then he saw Ron's eyes almost blank as he waved his wand mechanically.

It was obvious that he was wandering, and the match in front of him also did not change at all.

Seeing that he couldn't get much help from Ron, he looked up in Hermione's direction again, and Hermione was also waving her wand and frowning. He finally looked at Luke, and saw that Luke hadn't even moved his wand, just standing there.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Harry could only flare through the notes he had just taken during Professor McGonagall's lecture, and try the above steps little by little.

Just as he was about to wave his wand again, he suddenly heard Professor McGonagall's voice.

"Very good, a very good quality needle, Mr. Gaunt, Slytherin, plus five points."

Harry looked in Luke's direction in shock.

Professor McGonagall stood beside Luke, holding a thin silver needle in her hand. That needle looked so ordinary, if it weren't for knowing Luke's personality, Harry would have to wonder if Luke happened to have a needle by his side before, and he took it out and used it directly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Luke smiled at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall smiled back, then put the needle back on the table, and said, "Next, let him be a little more fine." ”

The smile on Luke's face froze.

"Do what you can, Luke."

Professor McGonagall patted Luke on the shoulder, then moved on to see the other students.

"How did you do that?" Taylor, who was standing next to Luke, picked up the needle from the table and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it over and over again.

She had just witnessed Luke studying hard and then waving his wand twice.

For the first time, the match had a metallic sheen on it.

The second time, that match became the current needle.

"That's it...... Turning your magic, waving your wand, thinking about turning matches into needles. ”

Luke pondered for a moment, then spoke.

Taylor blinked, not sure what to say. It felt like Luke's steps were even more exaggerated than what Professor McGonagall had just said.

"You're still thinking about how to make it a little more delicate."

With that, he put the needle back in front of Luke, and then began to wave his wand with a frown.

Hermione on the other side frowned, and her face was not admitting defeat. The wand in his hand is also waving harder and harder. Shocked all the Lavender around her.

However, no one else completed the task at the end of the lesson.

Hermione made the match thinner and sharper, but the shape was very different, and it was even less metallic. It is impossible to call it a needle.

Still, Professor McGonagall gave Hermione three points.

In addition to the fact that this is the only little wizard who has gained something after excluding Luke, it is natural that this is indeed more than the level of performance that should have been in the first class. It's not too much to say "top student".

As for Luke, the last needle he handed in was already engraved with the coat of arms of the Gaunt family.

Clearly visible and exquisite.

But Professor McGonagall only nodded in satisfaction. Still, Luke could see the surprise in the professor's eyes.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Hermione immediately walked in Luke's direction, wanting to ask him how he did it.

"Luke, stay for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Professor McGonagall called out to Luke.

Hermione could only watch as Luke walked in Professor McGonagall's direction.

Hermione was a little disappointed, but the next moment her arm was grabbed by Taylor as she walked over.

"Don't think about it, that guy doesn't have any tricks, it's purely talent."

Taylor smiled and said to Hermione, "I watched Luke wave his wand twice, turning matches into needles, closing his eyes and thinking for a while, and then waving his wand and adding the family crest to the needles. This situation is not a skill at first glance, it is all talent. ”

Hermione's lips pursed, but it was a little more relaxed later. She had been mentally prepared for the talent gap between herself and Luke early in the morning.

"Don't be sad, we don't compare with perverts, you're also very good, you're the only one other than Luke who has extra points!"

Taylor comforted Hermione and said, "Let's go, let them talk first, let's go to dinner first." ”

Hermione looked at the girl in front of her, who was a little rustic and sloppy, but actually beautiful and extraordinary, and nodded silently.

Although it has only been a few days since school started, she has already succeeded in relying on her personality and style, so that she has no friends among girls.

Taylor is probably the only girl who knows her personality and is willing to be friends with her.

"Let's go!"

Hermione said to Taylor with a smile on her face.

"Tomorrow the Lance family will come and give you those compensations."

In Professor McGonagall's office, she poured Luke a cup of tea.

"So fast?"

Luke said in some surprise. After all, whether it is the industry or the position of the school director, the handover takes time. And it will take some time to transfer the invisible assets of some industries, such as customers, signboards, key employees, etc., not to mention the position of the school director. It's not like you can have it.

"They're more anxious than you." Professor McGonagall took a sip of tea and said, "And they already have the position of school director, and the original position of school director of the Gaunt family was sold to the Lance family at a high price. Now it can be regarded as the return of the goods to their original owners. ”

Luke nodded unconcernedly, he wasn't very interested in what had been left behind by the other Gunter family before. Whether hostile or benign.

Professor McGonagall didn't say much, and when we meet tomorrow, Luke must also know what is going on behind the scenes. She didn't need to say more.

Then she pulled out a notebook from her desk drawer.

"This is my Transfiguration note, you can take it and see it first. If there is anything you don't understand, please come and ask me. Transfiguration is dangerous, don't take it lightly. ”

Luke looked at the notebook that had been pushed across the table. There was silence for a long time, and then he solemnly picked it up. Standing up, he bowed to Professor McGonagall and said, "Thank you, Professor." ”

Professor McGonagall waved her hand indifferently, "Don't be so polite to me. ”

Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Luke, have you really figured it out?" We all know what you're doing in the Academy. You know that this kind of behavior is very similar to those two people. ”

She accentuated the word "we" and emphasized that what was naturally self-evident.

"I'm sure the professors will be judged. If you don't think it's right, then you can stop me directly. ”

Professor McGonagall could hear the "stop" in this sentence, which was definitely not as gentle as it was intended.

"What's more, Professor," Luke's eyes twinkled, "I believe in myself, I won't be following the same path as them." ”

"I'm just going my own way."
