Chapter 163: Depressed Lilith
"Are you so confident that you can win Professor McGonagall's approval?"
Hearing Arthur's contempt for all the students present, Lilith hid her red lips, squinted slightly, chuckled, and then teased.
"Professor Stienkana, she doesn't seem to be very optimistic about me. I heard that this Wizarding World Student Exchange Conference was held at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I wonder what you think, professor? ”
Arthur ignored Lilith's ridicule, and instead asked about the student exchange conference.
Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the school where Grindelwald grew up, and Arthur hears from Jim Baggins that the management of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has changed, and so far, no one knows who the current headmaster is.
Arthur thought that Grindelwald would definitely not go back after coming out of Newmongard. Combined with the intelligence of the goblin Jim Baggins, he is convinced that Grindelwald is very likely to be hiding in Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
And the mysterious management that Jim Baggins is talking about, if nothing else, is Grindelwald's followers - the Saints.
Therefore, looking at the saint in front of him, Arthur openly asked her what she thought of the exchange conference, but in fact implied that he had guessed Grindelwald's location.
"Hee-hee, little brother Arthur, are you scared?"
Lilith raised her eyebrows slightly, and had already guessed that Arthur had something to say, so she asked rhetorically.
In fact, this year's Wizarding World Student Exchange was supposed to be held at Beauxbatons School of Magic in France, and Master Grindelwald wanted Arthur to join Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He reached some kind of agreement with the principal of Beauxbatons School of Magic and Magic, and won a place to hold a student exchange meeting in the wizarding world this year.
"Why am I afraid. I just think it's going to be boring. ”
Arthur shook his head, he wasn't afraid to enter Grindelwald's base camp. Although Grindelwald was a feared demon king back then, he was not the same kind of person as Voldemort.
"A friend of mine at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry told me that his students like you very much. Don't you want to meet them? ”
In order to test Arthur's true thoughts, Lilith tells him about Arthur's very popular presence at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Earlier. I'm also looking forward to meeting my lovely readers. ”
Arthur's eyes rolled, perfectly avoiding Lilith's temptation.
By the time the two were talking, most of the students in the activity room had completed their transformations, with sculptures of different shapes and animals running around.
Of course, there are also some students who have deformed things that are either shoddy or strangely shaped.
"Oh! Which of you is my source? ”
Among the Gryffindor students, Neville looked at the large and small ones in front of him, holding his head in his hands, and his face was full of confusion.
When Professor McGonagall asked them to contact Transfiguration, Neville's first thought was to turn the stake in front of him into his best friend, Come.
But when he couldn't help but turn the stake into a picture according to the way he came, he couldn't tell which was the real picture and which was the one that was conjured.
"Haha, Neville, the idiot of Gryffindor, can't even tell his own toad. Laughing to death. ”
Whenever a Gryffindor student made a fool of himself, our Draco was the first to arrive at the scene, and he stood in front of Neville surrounded by Goyle and Crabbe, with a look of contempt on his face, mocking Neville wantonly.
Draco at this moment didn't seem to be the same as when he first entered the school, and he was still so annoying.
But in fact, he came to trouble Neville this time because he wanted to slow down the progress of the Gryffindor students so that they could not devote themselves to completing the transformation work.
Draco, who had been by Arthur's side for four months, had clearly recognized his strengths and weaknesses, and instead of trying to complete the transformation, it was better to buy Arthur more time and mess with the progress of others.
"You!"
Neville looked up angrily, his eyes blazing at Draco, but Draco saw that the Gryffindor students around him were all around, and he glanced at Pansy who was standing in the corner.
Receiving Draco's signal, Pansy cautiously glanced at the three professors present, and seeing that none of them were looking at her, she raised her wand and cast a dancing spell on one of the Gryffindor students' Transfigurations.
In an instant, the work that had been turned into a pig with a wooden stake began to go crazy and crash into the works of the other students around it.
When the Gryffindor students found out, their creations had been completely destroyed by the dancing pig, and some of the shape-shifting animals were frightened and began to run around.
"Tut~"
Seeing that he and Pansy's plan had been a third of the way through, Draco shook his head and led Goyle and Crabbe in the direction where the Ravenclaw students had gathered.
"Is that your plan? Arthur. ”
The commotion caused by the Gryffindor students' transfiguration quickly caught Lilith's attention, and she smiled mysteriously at Arthur.
"Professor Lilith, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."
Arthur was a little speechless, with his transfiguration skills, he didn't need these intrigues at all. However, when he realized that Draco and his two bodyguards were missing from the Slytherin students, Pansy was gone.
He immediately realized that the riot on Gryffindor's side must have something to do with the four of them.
His suspicions were further confirmed when there were also animal shapeshifts on the Ravenclaw side that began to run around uncontrollably.
These two men are bold enough. In front of the professors, they started to wreak havoc...'
Arthur could only sigh secretly at Draco and Pansy's behavior. If this is caught by the professors, in addition to the oral academy, the itinerary of the trip to the Forbidden Forest must be arranged.
"As a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Stienkana, you should be very experienced with the riot of shapeshifters, right? Isn't it stopped? ”
With a wave of his arm, Arthur lifted the Transfiguration Charm from a toad that rushed in front of him, then turned to Lilith and asked.
"Isn't there Professor McGonagall... Why don't you help Professor McGonagall quell this commotion, Arthur? ”
Lilith asked rhetorically. She had sensed that Arthur was trying to get her away, and that wasn't going to work! She also wanted to see the whole process of Arthur's transformation spell, and record the speed and method of his spell casting, in order to assess Arthur's current strength.
Arthur is the goal of her mission, in addition to protecting Arthur's life and inducing Arthur to leave Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is also what Lilith needs to do.
"Well, it's kind of smart. Not bad! ”
Seeing Draco and the others retreat towards the Slytherin students as Professor McGonagall stepped in to quell the commotion, Arthur smiled slightly.
Although it is said that Draco their behavior is very unethical, inferior. But they belonged to Slytherin after all.
In order for the Slytherin House to get House points at this Transfiguration Exchange, Arthur could not morally condemn them for their actions.
After all, he's a Slytherin now, too.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing?" Faced with Lilith's question, Arthur replied casually.
He looked at the student transformation works around him, and they were basically finished. The most difficult of them all, and the last to complete is Lisa Dupin's Griffon Sculpture of Ravenclaw.
Why did Arthur say this, because where her stone was standing, it had been hit by several deformed animals, but it did not move. Lisa Dupin not only brings the appearance to life, but also gives it a real weight.
Transfiguration is not a simple spell, it is not what ordinary people think, just let the target have the appearance of the object you imagine, and you also need to let the target have all the attributes of the object in your mind.
Appearance, quality, internal construction, etc., it's a very complex magic.
Especially turning a very light item into a very heavy one, which requires a deep understanding of Transfiguration.
"Well, Hermione's wolf cubs aren't bad either. I thought she was going to conjure a cat. ”
Seeing that in the group of Gryffindor students, a handsome looking little wolf with sharp eyes was guarding Hermione's side, Arthur put his hand on his chin and praised.
"If nothing else, the two of them are your competitors tonight. Don't you have a sense of crisis at all? ”
Due to the riot just now, most of the students' transformation works were restored to wooden stakes, and the only surviving transformation works at this time were Lisa and Hermione's works, which were excellent.
"Professor McGonagall has already started, aren't you going to start yet?"
Lilith saw that Professor McGonagall had begun to point out the strengths and weaknesses of her transfiguration as a Ravenclaw student, and she confronted Arthur.
"Haven't I changed?"
Arthur pointed to the stake beside him and stared at Lilith with a "Are you blind" expression.
"When did you use the Transfiguration Charm? It's still a stake... Well? You! ”
Lilith showed a "you are playing me" expression and pointed to the stake next to Arthur, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed that the stake next to Arthur suddenly began to move.
She stared intently to see that the stake was actually a disguise for a group of mimic butterflies gathered together.
The stake she felt moved, but the outermost butterflies flailed their wings.
"Merlin's beard, you actually turned a wooden stake into a group of jungle phantom butterflies with mimic abilities!"
As someone who has been to South America, Lilith has a very deep impression of this jungle phantom butterfly, which only lives in the primeval deep forest. And what made her completely lose her mind was that Arthur actually turned an object into a group of creatures.
The most perverted thing is that when he cast the Transfiguration Charm, he was not noticed by her, the saint.
"I've recently learned the Silent Charm, Professor Stienkana, what do you think of my Silent Charm?"
Arthur waved his wand a few times to silence the group of jungle butterflies again, then looked at Lilith with a smile.
"You tell me, are you already mastered wandless spellcasting?"
Lilith stepped forward and whispered to Arthur's ear, she hadn't seen Arthur's spell casting at all, and she was sure that Arthur would not have been able to go unnoticed if he had only used the silent spell.
She's a half-breed baby, and her eyesight is more than twice as sharp as that of a human wizard. And she kept an eye on Arthur, Arthur couldn't just use a silent spell and not be noticed by her.
"Spell caster without a wand? It takes a lot of magic, do you think I can master it? ”
Arthur looked at the two mountains in front of him and felt like he was about to suffocate. He took a few steps back, away from the danger, and then spoke to Lilith.
"Impossible! I didn't even see you waving your wand just now. "Whether Lilith believes her eyes or not, she can't possibly miss any picture.
"Do you dare to bet!"
"Bet on what?" Lilith asked rhetorically.
"Ten thousand gold Galleons!" Arthur gestured a 1 with his finger in front of Lilith.
"Again! Do you like money so much? Lilith was a little speechless, the last time Arthur asked her for money in the elf's cave, and now he actually wants to gamble with her.
What a goblin in human skin!
"Forget it, you think I will."
Arthur spread his hands, and the person who generated the curiosity was Lilith, not her.
"I bet!"
Lilith looked at Arthur's "You can guess if I'm going to cast a spell without a wand" expression, and instantly her forehead was covered with black lines. But in order to understand the level of Arthur's strength, how she turned the stake into a swarm of butterflies without her noticing.
Lilith gritted her teeth and finally agreed to Arthur's bet.
"I just used my wand to lift Neville's Transfiguration Spell, didn't you notice that my wand was waving a little more?"
Arthur shook his wand in his hand, revealing a look of "you really didn't observe", and asked Lilith rhetorically, and before Lilith could react, he stretched out his palm and said again to Lilith.
"Ten thousand gold Galleons, is it for cash, or is it a check from Gringotts? Professor Stienkana. ”
"You!" After listening to Arthur's explanation, Lilith suddenly recalled that when Arthur lifted the toad's transformation spell just now, he did shake his wand a little more, and Lilith just thought that this was a habit of Arthur when he put away his rod and didn't care.
Knowing that Arthur had cast a Transfiguration Charm on the stake at that time, Lilith reacted instantly, and Arthur had been playing tricks on her from the beginning.
Angry, there is a anger in Lilith's body at this time that has nowhere to release.
She looked at the smiling Arthur, and the evil spirit in her heart was even more irrepressible.
If Arthur hadn't been the target of Master Grindelwald's protection, she would have been desperate to cast a heart curse on this kid who was at odds with her.
Just as Lilith was thinking about what reason to use to reverse her decision and not admit the bet.
Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape walked up one after the other. Before Professor McGonagall could speak, Professor Snape asked with a displeased look on his face when he saw the stake beside Arthur.
"Mr. Pendragon, where's your transfiguration?"
"Severus, I'm the Transfiguration Professor."
Before Arthur could speak, Professor McGonagall scolded Professor Snape with a serious face. Then he smiled at Arthur's work, his dark brown eyes full of approval.
"Mr. Pendragon, I am amazed by your work. Such a good work should be seen by all. ”
As she spoke, Professor McGonagall waved her wand lightly. In an instant, the stake beside Arthur exploded, and countless jungle butterflies flew out in all directions, with each flap of their wings.
The colorful scales follow their flight path, outlining a beautiful colorful starry sky.
