Chapter 162: Transfiguration Exchange Meeting

"Aren't you going home?"

Arthur's words made Pansy not react for a while, and directly blurted out a sentence that she regretted very much.

"I'm sorry, Arthur... I didn't mean to. ”

Realizing that there was something wrong with what she said, Pansy quickly apologized to Arthur guiltily.

"Hehe, it's fine. Is this a sandwich for me? ”

Arthur smiled, he didn't really care. Although he has no parents in this world, St. Mary's Orphanage is his home.

If understood in this way, there is nothing wrong with Pansy's words.

"Yes, I see you were called away by Filch before you finished your meal. So I left you a sandwich. It's a combination of salmon and shrimp, and I know you like this..."

Pansy raised her hands and handed the silver disc containing the sandwich to Arthur, and said in a slightly happy tone, the eyelashes on her eyes fluttered a few times, and the aura was very cute.

"Thank you then. By the way, isn't there a Transfiguration Exchange Meeting of the Four Courtyards tonight, why didn't you go? ”

Arthur took the sandwich, sat down on the couch by the fireplace, took a bite of the delicious sandwich, and then asked Draco and Pansy as they sat across from him.

Transfiguration Meeting, as the name suggests, is an evening party for students to exchange and learn Transfiguration.

Although not as well-known as the Dueling Club, it has been around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for over sixty years, and was founded by Albus Dumbledore, then professor of Transfiguration and now headmaster.

Since Professor McGonagall became a professor of Transfiguration, she has presided over the annual Transfiguration Meeting.

In addition to Professor McGonagall, one or two professors will be invited to share their Transfiguration experience with the students.

"I don't want to go, my deformation class grades have just passed every time, and I may be embarrassed if I go."

Draco shook his head, telling his true thoughts. There were only Pansy and Arthur here, they were all friends, and Draco didn't need to act recklessly for the sake of face.

"What about you? Pansy. ”

After listening to Draco's reasoning, Arthur nodded silently, and then looked at Pansy, who had been staring at him.

"I... I don't care, the main thing is that you didn't go, so I don't want to go either. ”

Since discovering Hermione as a potential competitor, Pansy has grown bolder. Such a naked word was said directly to his face.

Unfortunately, Arthur didn't have that kind of thought, and he only smiled in response to Pansy's direct words.

I glanced up at the vertical clock next to the fireplace, seven thirty-five. Arthur said to the two of them, "There's still a quarter of an hour to start, so let's go over and have a look." I've been busy writing books lately, so I took this opportunity to relax. ”

"And don't you think tonight's meeting is a great opportunity for us to earn house points for our academy?"

Draco and Pansy looked at each other. Then the tacit understanding cultivated by friends over the years said to Arthur in unison.

"Only you can earn house points for the academy, and we'll cheer you on."

Arthur chuckled when they heard their responses in unison. secretly said in his heart that it was rare for these two people to have such a tacit understanding.

In fact, among the first-year freshmen, Draco and Pansy's Transfiguration class did pretty well.

It's been four months since I started school, and some Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students have been unable to complete their Transfiguration assignments assigned by Professor McGonagall, or have been unable to turn props into target objects in class.

Most of these students were from Muggle families.

Thinking of this, Arthur had to admit the fact that the level of magical talent of a young wizard born in a Muggle family was indeed far from that of a pure-blood wizard descendant.

This is an indisputable fact and not a denigration.

"Then let's go. Although the current house points are on par with Ravenclaw, we still need more house points if we want to win the House Cup at the end of the semester. ”

With that, Arthur shoved the last of his sandwich into his mouth, ready to take out the handkerchief in his robe and wipe his lips, when he put his hand in his chest pocket, it was empty.

It was then that he realized that his student wizard robe had been made of wooden planks. Thinking of this, Arthur spoke to the two of them.

"Wait, I'll go back and change my clothes."

With that, ignoring Pansy and Draco's puzzled gazes, he got up and walked straight towards the dormitory.

His whole body, whether it was his underwear or the student wizard's robes, was made of wooden planks, although the young wizards couldn't find it. As a Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor McGonagall will see through it at a glance.

Suddenly a student, dressed in a plank, is something very incomprehensible. In order not to worry Professor McGonagall, Arthur had to change into normal clothes.

A few minutes later, Arthur walked out of the dormitory. At this time, Pansy and Draco also arrived at the hallway of the Slytherin common room, waiting for his arrival.

The annual Transfiguration Exchange is held in a large activity classroom located in the southwest corner of the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

When Arthur and the three walked into the activity classroom, the classroom was already full of young wizards of all grades. Arthur took a cursory look, and all the first-year students of the Fourth House had arrived, and most of the second- and third-year students had also arrived. There are only a handful of senior students.

After all, the Transfiguration Exchange is mainly aimed at junior students, and it is held once a year, and some students who think they are proficient in Transfiguration are too lazy to participate in this exchange meeting.

"Hi ~ Arthur, good evening."

As the three of Arthur were about to make peace with the Slytherin army, passing by the small group of Ravenclaws, a cute girl with blonde hair came to Arthur with a book on Transfiguration, and greeted Arthur with a bright and cute smile.

"Good evening, Lisa."

Arthur stopped and greeted him with a smile after seeing that the girl in front of him was Lisa Dupin, who had asked him for an autograph.

Lisa Dupin, a lively and cute little girl, but because she was from a Muggle family, when she first came to Hogwarts, she was not suitable for wizarding life, and would always shed tears when she encountered setbacks.

Nicknamed "Crying Lisa" by her classmates, she has now settled into Hogwarts life after four months of adaptation.

"Crying Lisa" and "Crying Myrtle", do Ravenclaw students like to use "Crying xx" to give people nicknames? Arthur complained inwardly.

"Are you going to participate in the tryouts too?"

Ignoring Pansy's murderous gaze, Lisa asked Arthur with a playful smile.

"It depends, it's mainly for the academy points." Arthur shook his head and whispered.

In addition to the professors sharing their experiences and the students' transformation demonstrations, there is also a special multi-school Transfiguration competition competition.

The selected candidate will represent Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the end of January next year at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to participate in the Transfiguration Tournament at the five-year Wizarding World Student Exchange Conference.

At present, there are eleven schools of magic in the entire wizarding world, except for four schools that do not participate in this exchange activity, the other eight schools are: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United Kingdom, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, Nordic Demstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Kodos Doris School of Magic and Wizardry in Russia, Japan Institute of Magic, Wagadow School of Magic in Uganda, Castrobusche School of Magic and Wizardry in Brazil, and Yinfamorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States.

The five-year Wizarding World Student Exchange will be held in these eight magic academies alternately, and next year's 36th Student Exchange will be held at Nordic Durmstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Arthur had been pulled into the office by Professor Snape the other day to speak to him privately, asking him to be the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry representative in the Potions Tournament in the Student Exchange.

So... Arthur wasn't much interested in becoming a representative of the Transfiguration Championship.

After all, Professor Snape promised Arthur that if Arthur could win the tournament, he would open his treasury and let Arthur choose five potions materials in it.

"Hee-hee, then I'll be relieved."

When Lisa Dupin heard this, her shining eyes rolled around, and her cheeks showed cute little dimples on both sides, and she laughed.

"Then come on. With your performance in the Transfiguration class, as long as you don't get nervous for a while, you will definitely be selected. ”

Arthur encouraged Lisa Dupin.

The Wizarding World Student Exchange Conference, which is held every five years, is only as popular in the wizarding world as the Quidditch League, and the classification of competition items in such a grand event is also very mature.

In the case of the Transfiguration Championship alone, it is divided into the junior group and the senior group. Older students are not allowed to participate in the Lower Division, but Younger Students are free to choose whether or not to participate in the Upper Division.

Over time, the competition in the senior division was also known as the School Tournament, in which the best students from the eight magic schools competed for the final championship.

And Lisa Dupin, a first-year student, is preparing to become the Hogwarts representative of the lower division Transfiguration tournament.

Interestingly, Lisa Dupin, as a Muggle-born wizard, was not as gifted in magic as any other Muggle-born wizard descendant.

But there was one exception, Lisa Dupin's performance in Transfiguration, and even Professor McGonagall was amazed.

Because of the Transfiguration class in the first year, Ravenclaw was taken with Slytherin, so Arthur knew Lisa Dupin's Transfiguration skills very well.

At Lisa Dupin's current level, it was almost a foregone conclusion that she would become the Transfiguration representative at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Hehe, thank you for your good words. The exchange meeting is about to start, so I won't bother you. ”

With that, Lisa Dupin winked at Arthur and turned back into the Ravenclaw group.

At the same time, Arthur also led Pansy towards Slytherin House. As for Draco, he had already joined up with his two henchmen, Gol Crabbe, and they were fighting at the Gryffindor students.

"Welcome to this year's Transfiguration Symposium...... Now I would like to introduce to you the guests of this evening, Professor Snape and Professor Skaantina. ”

When the clock struck eight, Professor McGonagall brought Professor Snape, who had always looked gloomy, and Lilith, who exuded charm at all times.

She clapped her hands, and waited until the activity classroom was completely quiet before she began to talk about the cause, history, purpose, and purpose of the Transfiguration Exchange Conference, and finally introduced the professors who participated in the exchange meeting.

As in previous sessions, Professor Snape received the least applause. Why... Of course, it was Professor Snape's hundred-year-old frosty face that frightened the students into not knowing whether to applaud or not.

On the contrary, when the students saw Lilith, they were excited to pat their hands swollen.

Professor Lilith Stiencana, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year, has made all the students like her in just one class.

The senior students, in particular, said that Lilith was the most responsible and best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor they had ever seen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In fact, they secretly rated Lilith as the most welcome professor in the history of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

At the exchange meeting, the professors shared experiences that Arthur had already mastered, and there were also things that made him feel uncomfortable.

In this way, the students present were like sponges absorbing the experiences shared by the professors (not counting fools like Goyle and Crabbe).

Studying hard will always make time pass quickly.

While the students were still satisfied, Professor McGonagall had begun to make the students have only activities, and in order to better connect the students with Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall summoned a lot of wooden stakes in the activity room.

"It's an exchange meeting, so you don't have to be nervous. According to your own understanding, you recite the Transfiguration Charm on the stake and turn it into what you want, and there is no limit to dead or living things. ”

After Professor McGonagall summoned the stakes, she noticed that most of the first-year students were getting nervous, smiled slightly, and said loudly to the students.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall!"

"Arthur, why don't you use the Transfiguration Charm, this is the best time to connect with Transfiguration."

Tonight, Lilith, wearing a delicate red vest on the upper half of her body, black leggings and high boots on her lower body, appeared in front of Arthur with the appearance of a royal sister. The arc of the perfect body is vividly and exquisitely revealed by the tights, coupled with her own charming characteristics, which is particularly seductive.

"Don't worry, let's see everyone's highest level first, and then I'll start..."

Arthur glanced at Lilith and found that the temperament she was wearing today was very similar to a certain elf in her "Lord of the Rings", and couldn't help but nod slightly.

As for why he hadn't started the Transfiguration practice yet, Arthur had already learned from Slytherin's prefect, Gemma Farley, that Professor McGonagall would reward the most successful Transfiguration student with 20 House Points, the only time in the entire exchange meeting that he had received House Points.

But there is also a special environment for this Transfiguration Exchange Meeting, that is, the selection of representatives to participate in the Transfiguration Championship of the Wizarding World Student Exchange Conference every five years.

Each selected representative will receive 10 House Points for their House.

Arthur had already been selected as a representative of the Potions Tournament, and he did not need to participate in the selection of the Transfiguration Tournament representative.

So, in order to get these 20 house points, Arthur had to brace himself and get serious.

Bring all of your students' Transfiguration results to mind, and then use Transfiguration Charms to show off the most perfect Transfiguration.
