Chapter 105: Rove's Little Abacus
Professor McGonagall began to explain the Transformation Charm, and a dense board soon appeared on the blackboard. Professor McGonagall has taught for decades and has written beautiful handwriting and staggered typography...... If Hogwarts were to hold a board book competition, she would definitely be a well-deserved champion.
Like Snape and Hagrid, they don't deserve to lift her shoes. However, although the board book is beautiful, when it comes to the content, it is very complicated, difficult, boring and boring.
At least for many students, they know every word, but when combined, they just can't understand it!
If it were the history of magic, everyone would have fallen asleep and woke up again, but in Professor McGonagall's class, no one dared to sleep.
The convertible spell was so hard to understand that Susan could only rub her sleepy eyes and ask for help, "Hannah, what is the magic twin theorem?" Hannah tugged at her two braids and said with a pained face, "I don't know, I walked around the edge effect of magic for a few seconds, and then I didn't understand it at all." She was almost out of the word magic and shapeshifting.
Hannah elbowed Neville again, trying to ask him if he understood, but Neville was still staring at the contents of the board twenty minutes earlier, trying to immerse himself in thought.
He suddenly excitedly said, "I understand...... I'm finally able to tell the difference between a shapeshifter and a magic shapeshifter. ”
"......" Hannah and Susan sighed softly, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm in the first class, what can they do after that?
The transformation technique of the fourth grade is really not a field that they can set foot in for those who have not been able to achieve great perfection in the third grade.
They looked back at Shirley and Rove, both of whom seemed to be following Professor McGonagall's rhythm and even answering questions to give the house extra points.
This must be at least the level of the fourth grade, or even the peak of the fourth grade, right? It's terrifying!
After Professor McGonagall finished the theory, she said loudly: "You already know the spell, next, I need you to transfer the thorns from the hedgehog to the eggplant, let me see how you are doing......" Rove also quickly assigned his own hedgehog, the little guy is very large, but the courage is very small, only to touch it with his hand, it bends its head towards the ventral surface, its body curls up into a ball, wraps its head and limbs, and erects spines like steel thorns all over its body.
He waved his wand and tapped the hedgehog, and soon a row of thorns appeared on the old eggplant, and although there were not many of them, they succeeded.
Rove can't transfer too many thorns at once, as the number of transferred objects increases, and the transfer spell becomes more and more difficult to master.
If you forcibly transfer, you can easily injure the hedgehog. The boy glanced at Shirley, and instead of making a move, she took a few pieces of chicken jerky out of her pocket and fed them to her hedgehog.
Shirley is a Transfiguration genius, she has been studying privately with Professor McGonagall for several years, and even a few months ago, she had completed all of her seventh grade Transfiguration classes.
Rove knew that the Ponytail Girl's level of Transfiguration was very high, but it was not clear how many floors high it was, so he asked, "Shirley, how many thorns do you have to transfer at one time?" Shirley thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I haven't tried it either." ”
"Let's give it a try." Rove smiled,
"Show me." The girl snorted, drew her wand, and clicked on the hedgehog, and the dense thorns on its body disappeared in an instant, and all appeared on the eggplant.
Professor McGonagall knew Shirley's level of Transfiguration and knew that the Transformation Charm was not difficult for her, so when she saw this scene, she still said in a very calm tone, "Very good, Miss Swinton has completed the Transformation Charm...... Ravenclaw plus ten. Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, everyone looked towards the first row, and then saw the bare, rat-like hedgehog on the table.
Many people still don't understand what a conversion spell is, and some people have succeeded, but they can only convert a few thorns to the eggplant...... To the extent of Shirley, they simply can't do it.
The students buzzed in shock. Rove sighed too, he finally realized the phrase that others often felt in him...... The gap between people is sometimes bigger than that of dogs.
But the boy soon became happy and proud again...... Oh, my Shirley is amazing! Professor McGonagall quickly stepped down from the podium and surveyed the students' progress.
"Mr. McMillan, if you toss that hedgehog like that again, I'll lock you up!"
"Miss Lisa Dupin, the eggplant is for practicing the Transformation Spell, not for that!"
"Mr. Justin Finch, I must remind you that I picked the eggplant from the greenhouse, it has not been washed, and there is dragon manure on it, so don't eat it again!"
"Gross!" The students stayed up in a daze until the bell rang for the end of class, and they all ran towards the auditorium. Near the foyer, Rolf and Shirley bumped into Hermione, who had also just finished class, but looked embarrassed and had a small hole in her sleeve.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" Shirley said with concern.
"Well, don't mention it." Hermione sighed,
"Hagrid, in the Conservation of Magical Beasts class just now, asked us to raise a bunch of fried snails."
"Fried tail snails?" Hearing this name, Shirley was stunned and said, "What is that?" "She worked as an assistant to Rove for three years and knew magical creatures inside out, but she had never heard of them.
"A very ugly magical creature." Hermione complained in an extremely disgusting tone, "That thing is still dangerous, it can burn, it can sting, it can bite people, and I don't know where Hagrid got it." ”
"A magical creature that Hagrid cultivated himself." Rove said,
"As for what kind of magical creatures were crossed, I still don't know." Hearing that the fried tail snail was a hybrid of a magical creature, Shirley was very surprised and said, "Isn't this kind of behavior forbidden by the Ministry of Magic?" ”
"That's right, it's forbidden." Rove nodded.
"As early as 1965, the Ministry of Magic passed the Law on the Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments." This tiny job was handled by Newt back then.
"If Hagrid is discovered by the Ministry of Magic, he will be placed on probation again, or he will be sent to Azkaban." Rove said solemnly: "So, as friends, we must stop Hagrid, and we can't let him continue to degenerate and wander on the verge of crime!" Seeing the justice on the young man's face, Hermione couldn't help but exclaim, "Then what should we do?" ”
"Confiscate the snails, of course, including the magical creatures that crossed it." Rove looked like I didn't go to hell and who went to hell, and said, "It's like we confiscated Noble!" ”
"......" Shirley and Hermione both looked at Rove with small eyes, his abacus was so loud, let alone the two of them, I am afraid that the people of Hogsmeade will hear it!
