Chapter 164: Delegate of the Transfiguration Championship

The lights in the entire activity classroom are dim under the fluttering butterflies of the jungle.

The little wizards looked at the jungle butterflies around them, as if they were in the starry sky, such a wonderful experience, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen it.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" A childish voice came from the Hufflepuff student group, and his emotion was the voice of all the students who were amazed.

A student couldn't suppress his curiosity, and stretched out his finger to touch the jungle butterflies flying in front of him. The fluttering butterfly seemed to be spiritual, slowly landing on his fingers.

The phantom scales on the wings, like fluid, slid down his palms.

Wonderful feelings, born of heart, the student couldn't help but exclaim.

The dazzling light released by the scales of the jungle butterflies shone on Professor McGonagall's face, and surprise, emotion, and praise converged on her face, and she gently waved her wand to make the butterflies flying in the classroom regather in her direction.

Until they all come together again and become the "stakes" they used to be, Professor McGonagall looked at Arthur with a look of relief.

"What a beautiful view. Mr. Pendragon, I'm no longer qualified to teach you anything about Transfiguration. ”

"No, Professor McGonagall, you're humble. There's a lot more I need to learn. ”

Arthur shook his head and said.

"No, turning a stake into an infinite number of butterflies is a very difficult thing to do. And your butterfly is not an ordinary butterfly, it is a magical creature - the jungle butterfly. This is not something that a student can do. ”

Professor McGonagall shook her head and explained. And Professor Snape, who was standing beside her at this moment, had a much more soothing and unapproachable face on his face.

Although he was also shocked by Arthur's Transfiguration, as a professor with a very "personable" and "character", it was impossible for him to smile.

However, hearing Professor McGonagall's unreserved praise of Arthur, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He was a Slytherin student, and it was a matter of great pride for him to be appreciated by Professor McGonagall.

"Wow, it's Arthur's transformation. It's amazing! ”

"That's amazing! I've never seen such an amazing transfiguration! ”

"Plus one, I thought it was Professor McGonagall's transformation. Unexpectedly, it was Arthur Pendragon of Slytherin. ”

"It's really too powerful, he's still a first-year student, I'm a third-grader now, and I haven't succeeded in transforming one item into two items, and he actually transforms so many butterflies!"

The little wizards present found that the butterfly just now was transformed by Arthur, and they all showed expressions of surprise and envy, and they also had a great admiration for his transformation technique.

"Hmm... Looks like I'm not number one anymore. Lisa Dupin looked at her statue, then at Arthur, who was surrounded by three professors, and sighed reluctantly.

On the other side of the group of Gryffindor students, Hermione looked at Arthur's starry eyes and unconsciously smiled like an aunt.

'Arthur, that's really good. Not only can I write books, but I can also study... I used to hate him... What the hell was I thinking...'

The stars hold the moon, and Arthur at this time is the target that these little wizards look up to and chase.

"I announce that Arthur Pendragon has earned 20 house points for Slytherin House for his perfect Transfiguration."

Professor McGonagall quieted the young wizards with a wave of her arms, and after looking around, she spoke out loud with unhesitating praise in her tone.

If it weren't for the tradition at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, each student would not be able to change houses after being assigned a house by the Sorting Hat. Professor McGonagall would love to have Arthur come to their Gryffindor.

This way she can better instruct Arthur in his Transfiguration.

Bang Bang Bang!

The loud applause came and went, and the wonderful experience brought by the jungle butterflies just now has convinced all the students. In their minds, they had already decided that Arthur was the most powerful transfiguration student in this event.

It's a pity that you didn't get college points for your house, but applause is the honor that the strong deserve.

As the applause wore off, Professor McGonagall waved her wand again, undoing the Transfiguration of all the students in the classroom, turning them back into stakes, and then vanishing with a thud.

"Tonight, in addition to exchanging Transfiguration knowledge, there is another very important thing to inform everyone......"

When Professor McGonagall, Professors Snape, and Lilith returned to the stage, she coughed softly and said that someone had told me about the Wizarding World Student Exchange.

"Are there any other schools of witchcraft and wizardry in this world besides our Hogwarts?"

When Harry heard the news, he couldn't help but ask Neville beside him, confused.

And he wasn't the only student who had doubts, most of the students who grew up in the Muggle world had this question in their minds.

"Of course, it's not just us who have wizards in England, there are wizards in countries all over the world, and wizard children in these countries also have to go to school, so there must be magic schools."

Neville has a poor memory and forgets things. But as a child of a pure-blood wizard family, this knowledge is already engraved in his bones.

Even if he forgot his toad now and didn't know where to go, he wouldn't forget the common sense in the wizarding world.

"That's... How many magic schools are there in the wizarding world? Neville: Have you met students from other schools of magic? ”

Ever since he had a falling out with Ron, Harry, who had been in contact with Flying, unknowingly became closer and closer to Neville.

"This..."

Harry's question made Neville not know how to answer for a moment, he knew that there were other schools in the wizarding world, but he had never remembered the names of those schools.

"Harry, this information is recorded in the books, there are a total of 11 schools of magic and wizardry in the entire wizarding world......"

Hermione, who was on the side, saw that Neville couldn't answer, so she quickly explained.

Hermione's face flushed slightly as he looked at Harry's look at him, the look of why you knew everything.

In fact, she was able to know this information, thanks to the myrtle occupying her body. Myrtle was a former Ravenclaw student and a very keen student. However, the knowledge she was interested in was a little different from Hermione's.

For example, Hermione, while she is also eager to learn about the history of the wizarding world, her focus is only on the United Kingdom, while Myrtle likes to study the history of the wizarding world in England, an unexpected country.

In this way, Hermione, as a lonely soul trapped in a cage, learns a lot through Myrtle that she has not known together.

“...... This year's Wizarding World Student Exchange will be held at Durmstrang College. And in the exchange meeting there is a Transfiguration tournament. I need to select three of you to participate in the Transfiguration Tournament Junior Division. ”

As soon as Professor McGonagall's words ended, the students in the audience began to discuss. Most of them are eager to visit Durmstrang College to visit Europe's most mysterious school of magic and magic, as well as to meet students from magic schools around the world.

But when it came to the Transfiguration Tournament, they were holding back. I've just seen Arthur's amazing performance. Their self-confidence has taken a hit.

And all of this has been seen by Professor McGonagall. She smiled kindly, raised her hand to silence the students, and then continued.

"Mr. Arthur Pendragon, would you like to represent Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Transfiguration Tournament?"

When Professor McGonagall finished speaking, all the students looked at Arthur. Professor McGonagall asked Arthur to participate in the Transfiguration Tournament in person, and they weren't surprised.

Because Arthur's Transfiguration is strong, Professor McGonagall's decision will not give rise to resentment and jealousy. If Professor McGonagall didn't let Arthur go, it would be a surprise to them.

"Professor McGonagall, I've promised Professor Snape to participate in the Potions Tournament."

"There is no conflict, there is no restriction on students participating in only one type of tournament." Before Professor McGonagall could speak, Lilith on the side spoke first.

"Mr. Pendragon, if you can win the Transfiguration Championship in the Senior Division. You can get a reward of 10,000 gold galleons. ”

Professor McGonagall saw that Lilith had helped her dispel Arthur's doubts, and she gave a reason that Arthur could not refuse. As the person who took Arthur to Diagon Alley to buy student goods, and having seen Arthur's meeting with the three publishing house editors, she knew that Arthur was a student who loved money.

As long as he is told that the champion has a bonus, he will definitely not refuse.

'What? And bonuses?! Professor Snape is a! Didn't tell me anything so important!

! ’

When Arthur heard this, his heart instantly became excited, and at the same time, he glanced at Professor Snape on the stage, and couldn't help but complain secretly.

"Professor, didn't you say that three of us should be selected from the junior group? Why is there still a competition in the senior group? ”

A Ravenclaw student asked aloud.

"All the competitions of the Wizarding World Student Exchange are divided into junior and senior groups. Only students under the age of fifteen can participate in the junior group, and the first place winner will be awarded the title of rising star. However, the Upper School group is open to all students, of different ages, different grades, and competes together. The person who wins the competition in the end gets the title of champion of the tournament. ”

Lilith squinted her eyes and explained to the student who asked the question.

This task of explaining the detailed rules to the students was, of course, done by she, the youngest professor.

"By the way, there's also a Defence Against the Dark Arts tournament in the Student Exchange. Arthur's little brother, help your sister bring the Defence of the Dark Arts champion back to Hogwarts. ”

Lilith smiled, her beautiful eyes releasing a light and shooting it towards Arthur.

“......”

Arthur was speechless, he finally realized why he always felt an air of conspiracy after entering this classroom, but he didn't expect Lilith to premeditate from the beginning to make him the representative of Hogwarts to participate in the Defence Against the Dark Arts tournament.

The Potions Tournament, he had promised Professor Snape that he had to participate.

The Transfiguration Tournament, Professor McGonagall, who had always been respected by him, spoke up, and he couldn't refuse, after all, the Transfiguration he had just shown had impressed all the little wizards, and if he didn't participate, he would disappoint them.

This is a matter of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's overall honor, and if he backs down, the young wizard will probably not buy him again if he is disappointed.

But! Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Lilith Stienkana, why did he participate in the Defence Against the Dark Arts Championship?

Ten thousand gold Galleons, tempting indeed. Can... Arthur's instincts told him that Lilith must have had an ulterior motive in letting him participate in the Defence Against the Dark Arts Tournament.

In particular, now that Professor McGonagall is selecting the representative of the Transfiguration Championship, isn't she afraid of upsetting Professor McGonagall by saying this?

"Defense Against the Dark Arts has a game? How many kinds of competitions are there in that exchange meeting? ”

"Anyway, I didn't have a chance to participate, so whoever the professors choose, they can go."

The little wizards began to talk about it, and they had now seen clearly that this wizarding world student exchange meeting was not something anyone could go to if they wanted to. Students who excel in their studies must have the opportunity to represent Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at exchange meetings.

"Why are the professors so optimistic about Arthur?" Ron muttered discontentedly.

"That's because Arthur is good enough, and while you're complaining, Arthur has been trying to improve."

Hermione, on the side, said disgruntled to Ron.

During the time that Myrtle was in control of her body, every time Hermione saw Myrtle looking for Arthur, Arthur was either writing or practicing spells.

And what about Ron? I didn't study well in class, and after class, I chatted with other classmates and gossiped and played wizard chess.

Even Harry has been trying to connect with flying in order to get into the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and Ron has not improved at all.

"Hmph..."Ron was dumbfounded, and in order to hide his inner embarrassment, he snorted coldly and turned away from Hermione.

"Professor McGonagall, I can represent Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Transfiguration Tournament."

Arthur looked at Professor McGonagall and agreed to her request. As for Lilith's invitation, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't understand why Lilith asked him to participate in the Defence Against the Dark Arts Tournament.

He looked at Lilith and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Professor Stiankana. My Defence Against the Dark Arts class got me-average grades, so you might as well choose another student. ”

"Well, that's a shame." Lilith said this, and showed a sad expression.

'Good boy, you dare to refuse me. I don't believe you, I can't cure you. ’

Neither the Potions Tournament nor the Transfiguration Tournament could reflect Arthur's true strength. If Arthur wants to show his full strength, he must be allowed to compete in the most confrontational Defence Against the Dark Arts tournament.

Lilith won't miss this opportunity, and she's going to make sure Arthur competes in the Defence Against the Dark Arts tournament.

'If you don't promise me, then I'll go to Headmaster Dumbledore... Little Arthur, I don't think you're going to refuse the Headmaster's request. ’

The corners of Lilith's mouth went up, and when she looked at Arthur's unkind face, her eyes moved, and she thought of a great solution.
