"020" Transfiguration Genius
In fact, McGonagall felt she had said the wrong thing.
Because now it seems that Ringo is not only talented, but a real transfiguration genius!
Although there was a suspicion of dismounting before, as he said, it does take at least two months for beginners to initially master turning matches into needles.
But Lingo mastered it in half a month.
And very skilled!
- At least this steel needle with a golden rose openwork handle can't even be changed by many second- and third-graders!
Not to mention that McGonagall, as a master of Transfiguration, could know just by looking at it from the outside.
At this moment, Ringo is still changing the steel needle.
No!
To be more precise, he is still making progress while talking to himself and showing his results!
This......
Unheard!
McGonagall tried to compliment Ringo, but when the words came to her lips, she immediately restrained them, and just stared at Ringo with rapid breath.
- She wants to see how far Ringo can go!
Ringo didn't disappoint her.
Especially after sensing McGonagall's intentions, he began to adjust the "match" in front of him as much as possible.
For example:
The golden openwork handle melted away, and as if it were gold, it quickly enveloped the entire silver steel needle, turning it into a single golden needle;
The golden needle then bends its head and becomes a fishhook;
The U-shaped area of the hook was quickly filled and bulged into a diamond-shaped arrowhead, which was slightly concave to form a cold blood groove......
With each change, it changed from a rough embryo to a beautifully decorated finished product, and after one change after another, Ringo let the "match" return to the steel needle, but this time, it was not only the hollow decoration, but even the very fine jadeite and agate began to grow on it......
"That's enough, Mr. Shelby."
McGonagall finally couldn't help it, and stopped Ringo's deformation with a slightly trembling voice, and the cat's eyes under the square glasses were full of curiosity: "How did you do that?" β
"Using real matches and needles as examples, understanding their structure and properties, sketching matches in your brain as you perform Transfiguration, letting the magic fall on them, and then carefully constructing the ......shape of the needles from scratch," Ringo said, "it's actually quite simple. β
Very simple......
The little badgers next to them were all stunned.
The corners of McGonagall's mouth twitched, "Mr. Shelby, too much modesty is pride. β
"Thanks for the reminder, Professor, but I insist that turning matches into steel needles is simple after mastering the routine."
"Transfiguration has a routine?" McGonagall was suspicious, she didn't think so.
But Ringo is confident: "I can organize my notes after class. β
"Then we'll have to talk about it after class." McGonagall was a little regretful, although she didn't think there was a routine, but she was really curious, so after a little thought, she said, "If there is a routine, why not teach it to your classmates now?" After all, it's still a while before class ends. β
"Good idea."
Ringo's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the little badgers and the jealous and envious little snakes on the side, and sat down directly, holding a quill pen and writing and drawing on a blank piece of paper.
He wasn't lying to McGonagall.
In his previous life, Lin Ge was able to spend two years making up for the knowledge of elementary and junior high schools and was admitted to three books, and his learning ability was already very strong, and now he has the talent of "advancing with each passing day".
After studying Transfiguration for half a month, I naturally have my own understanding.
In his opinion.
The key to transfiguration is the brain's understanding of the structure of the object when casting a spell, and the level of understanding determines the level of deformation.
I want to turn a match into a needle.
It is necessary to understand the matchβto make the wand magically associated with the matchβto make the match move;
And to understand the needle - to change the match shrouded in magic.
Ringo didn't know how other wizards understood objects, but he knew them purely according to modern scientific knowledge, the form, composition, material composition, and molecular structure of matches and steel needles...... That's why he turned out to be dull in the first place.
Because it was originally an iron needle - almost all of them were iron.
Later, he often conceived elements such as carbon, chromium, and manganese in them, and turned them into steel needles.
It's not difficult.
Ringo didn't need to fully understand the composition of the steel needle, he just needed to have this concept in his brain, and as for the rest, it was left to magic.
- Although there is a difference between the changed steel needle and the real steel needle.
But it's enough.
Of course, following this method of transfiguration requires a wealth of modern scientific knowledge to do the prerequisite, and Ringo does not think that other freshmen have this ability.
So he simplified: he just drew the approximate internal structure of the match and the steel needle on parchment, and described the specific steps of the transformation in words, the first step was to conceive the shape of the match, the second step was to conceive the mushu from the root of the match, and the third step was to form the mushu into small sticks......
It was fine, but Ringo wrote it quickly, and copied the parchment with a copy charm, giving McGonagall and every little badger in the room a copy.
"It's ...... The so-called routine? β
McGonagall, who had never been exposed to Muggle mechanical teaching, was a little dazed at first.
But soon......
With her attainments, you can see the doorway.
I can't help but fall into it, and my mind even extends to the deformation of other objects...... However, it was immediately interrupted again.
Because the badgers screamed again.
And more than one.
First, Hannah laughed: "Ah! My matches moved! β
Then Ernie: "That's cool, it's just another metamorphosis according to Ringo's description, haha, my magic is back?" β
And finally, the other badgers:
"Oh my God! Transfiguration really has a routine! β
"Look, is my match head a little silver?"
"Mine also has ......"
"Huh? My matches are bent......"
"Mine is even more excessive, the match head flew out on its own......"
McGonagall's hand holding the parchment shook for a moment, then subconsciously pushed the frame of her glasses.
Although some badgers mistakenly break or bend matches, they look clumsy, stupid, and make people laugh...... But McGonagall couldn't laugh.
The little snakes next to him couldn't laugh either.
To know......
These little badgers couldn't even get the matches to move!
Now they have collectively skipped this step, and even worse, they have made a trace of silver appear on the match.
And this.
Just because of Ringo's "routine"!
"Oh...... Shelby, it's hard to admit, but you're truly a genius in Transfiguration that you haven't seen in a hundred years! Even if I and you Headmaster Dumbledore were your age, we wouldn't have such abilities! McGonagall finally couldn't help but praise Ringo, "Because of your outstanding performance and help to your classmates, I will give you ten more ...... No, add twenty points! β
As soon as this remark came out.
The badgers burst into applause.
They all cheered and laughed.
With gratitude and admiration, he carefully looked Ringo up and down, left and right several times, imprinting his image in his mind, so that he could go out and brag after class......
But the joy didn't last long.
The little badgers felt a resentment from the right - but it was the little snakes in the snake courtyard who looked at them with a very complicated look.
"Uh......"
This moment.
The badgers suddenly realized that Ringo seemed to be from Slytherin......
Professor McGonagall gives Ringo extra points.
Add Slytherin points.
As a result, the little snakes were so sour and astringent that they were indifferent, but they Hufflepuff were so happy that they seemed to have won the Academy Cup.
So......
The applause slowly faded away.
Instead, the freshmen of the two houses looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, as if they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes......
β¦β¦
Fortunately, it was soon time for the end of class.
The little snakes scattered.
The badgers wanted to talk around Ringo for a while......
Thankfully, it was McGonagall's turn to interrupt them this time, "Sorry for the interruption of your chat, students, I'll have to borrow Shelby for a while...... Shelby, would you like to talk to me about Transfiguration? β
"Absolutely glad." Ringo nodded in agreement.
