Chapter Sixty-Four: The First Transfiguration Club Event

With a wave of his hand, Hagrid swept the two barrels on the table directly to the ground.

He grabbed a rag and quickly wiped down the table, wiped the mixture of butterbeer and flame whiskey off it, and managed to find a roll of parchment that was still fairly clean.

Hagrid picked up a special quill, but before he could begin to write, he lowered the pen again, looked up embarrassedly, and said:

"Harley, Hermione, this ...... My handwriting is probably a little ugly. ”

"So you ...... Can you ghostwrite for me? ”

"I'll do it!" Hermione, who had been shocked by Hallie's operation earlier, hurriedly said, so that she could feel a little involved in this matter.

Harley rested her chin on one hand and leaned against the table.

She had been trying to get a map of the Forbidden Forest from Hagrid, but it looked like she would have to wait until next time.

At this time, Sirius on the side was even more surprised than Hermione and Hagrid.

He had been worried about it before, after all, even though he and Jaime had been battling Hague for seven years, they still had a good relationship.

Otherwise, when he went after Peter Pettigrew, he wouldn't have chosen to give his beloved modified motorcycle to Hagrid.

Although he had a lot of ideas in his mind for Hagrid, the only way to do that was to ask Professor Dumbledore for help.

Harley's ...... Seriously, he really wanted to shout, "Can you still play like this?" ”

……

After Hermione finished writing the letter, Hagrid didn't entertain the two of them much, and rushed to the owl shed with the letter in a hurry.

And with Hermione's company, Harley couldn't find a chance to go to the Forbidden Forest, so she could only obediently go to lunch with Hermione and then go to the library.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hallie and Hermione arrived from the library on time for Professor McGonagall's office.

If Hermione hadn't come here with her, Harley wouldn't have known that Hermione had also received an invitation from Professor McGonagall.

"What will Professor McGonagall teach us in the club?"

"Will you teach us the advanced use of Transfiguration? For example, human transfiguration? Or Animagus? ”

Along the way, Hermione seemed extremely excited and kept talking.

When the two of them pushed open the door to Professor McGonagall's office, the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.

There are already a lot of students sitting in the office, but unfortunately there are not many Gryffindors!

The only things Harley could recognize were the Weasley twin brothers in the fifth grade, and Elois Midgan, a fourth-year person.

As for the sixth and seventh graders, Hallie felt like she hadn't seen any of them.

The two slipped into Gryffindor's camp and sat down, and Hallie quietly poked Fred in the back:

"Fred, are there just a few of us in Gryffindor?"

"Of course," Fred replied in a low voice, "how many Gryffindors do you expect to meet Professor McGonagall's standards?" ”

"Honestly, it's not bad to have two Gryffindors in one grade meet Professor McGonagall's requirements."

"No one in our Gryffindor class had a sixth grade that met the requirements, and there was only one Percy in seventh grade." George also inserted the topic,

"But Percy, he's busy with some internships right now, and wants to go to the Ministry of Magic as soon as he graduates, so he's not going to attend."

Fred and George then introduced Hallie and Hermione to the wizards of the other houses.

Overall, Ravenclaw was slightly larger, and Hufflepuff was larger overall, but the attendees were basically the same as Gryffindor.

As for Slytherin, only one fourth-year student barely made the cut.

According to Fred, there was a fifth-grader who also met the requirements, but that student was more pure-blood, so he was sifted out of character by Professor McGonagall.

After completing the basic introduction, everyone was almost there, and those who didn't come had asked Professor McGonagall for leave in advance.

Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, cleared her throat, and stood up from behind her desk:

"Good afternoon, students, today is the first event of the Transfiguration Club this semester."

"I think you've already found out, we've brought in three new members."

"They are Halle Potter and Hermione Granger of Gryffindor and Shirley Vincent of Ravenclaw."

"Welcome, applause!"

The students around me are accustomed to so few newcomers.

After all, Professor McGonagall has such high requirements and certain requirements for the quality of her students, so it is not uncommon for no one to join for a whole year.

After a brief welcome to the new students, Professor McGonagall got straight to the point.

"Considering that there are new students joining, we will make a transition for the time being today."

"As always, we're getting down to business by discussing the article on Transfiguration Today."

As she spoke, Professor McGonagall pulled out a magazine and looked at the three of them at the same time, "I remember reminding you to order this book, did you bring it?" ”

"Bring it, Professor!" Hermione replied, and Hallie and Shirley raised their journals.

"That's good. I think you've all read the above article in advance, but I hope you can briefly review the first paper again. ”

Professor McGonagall opened the journal and pointed to the title,

"An In-Depth Study of the Twelfth Law of Gamp's Basic Law of Transfiguration" by Mr. Jon Hart, a seventh-grader at Beauxbatons.

With this paper, his goal is to compete for the Most Promising Newcomer Award in Transfiguration Today this year.

"After a brief reading, I hope you can think about a question: In the context of the summary of the article, why does Mr. Jon Hart consider the twelfth law of Gamp's basic law of deformation to be the most important law of deformation?

With that, Professor McGonagall sat back down at her desk and picked up her quill to sketch out her copy of Transfiguration Today.

……

Two hours passed quickly, and the first Transfiguration Club event of the semester was over.

Before leaving, Professor McGonagall gave the students a reflection assignment:

"The twelfth law of Gamp's basic law of metamorphosis emphasizes the influence of thought and emotions on metamorphosis."

"If you were asked to complete this argument, where would you do it, and what feasibility experiments would you design?"

After leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Hermione exclaimed:

"I thought that the content of the class would be difficult enough, but I didn't expect that it was the real difficulty here."

"Of course," Fred chimed in.

"In class, Professor McGonagall only talks about how to transform in detail, and at most she doesn't get into the essence of Transfiguration until sixth grade."

"But here, Professor McGonagall has taught us her core skills."

……

……

(Thanks to the nine-tailed Yanhu for the tip!) )

I can't think of a character name.,It turns out that there's an HP author who uses the name of another protagonist.。 Good idea, I decided to learn from him.
