Chapter 286: The Professors' Club
In a hurry, Kyle finally ran into the classroom at the last second before class, and Professor McGonagall just looked at him and didn't say anything......
The Transfiguration class in Year 3 had already begun to learn about animal transformation, and Professor McGonagall had asked them to turn a button into a beetle, which was the opposite of Year 2.
Although they are all beetles and buttons, the difficulty is not a level at all.
At the end of the lesson, Kyle was the only one who had completed the request, and Professor McGonagall looked at the beetle that was scurrying around on the table and gave the Hufflepuff fifteen points.
As for the others...... Connor conjured a beetle, but the beetle was stiff when it moved, and it couldn't fly, so it was only half-finished at best.
Many more simply turned the buttons into beetles.
After class, the students begin to leave the classroom, but Kyle is stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"You stay for a while, I have something to tell you."
"Okay professor." Kyle nodded, and stopped where he was.
After everyone had left the classroom, Professor McGonagall smiled and asked, "Interested in joining my Transfiguration Club?" ”
"Transformation Club?"
"It's my own club." Professor McGonagall explains: "Twice a week, I teach something that is more esoteric than what is in class, but of course, it has nothing to do with exams and is just another form of enrichment.
How's that, are you interested? ”
"Of course." Kyle nodded without hesitation, "I'd love to join." ”
Professor McGonagall is one of the strongest Transfiguration masters in the wizarding world, and if she were to be placed outside of Hogwarts, even if her Transfiguration Club spot was hyped up to a sky-high price, countless people would compete for it with a lot of Galleons.
Kyle has no reason to refuse.
"Well, the time is seven o'clock every Wednesday and Friday night." Professor McGonagall said.
Wednesday...... Isn't that what it is today?
Kyle asked, "Where am I going?" Is it in the Transfiguration classroom? ”
"No," Professor McGonagall laughed, "on the eighth floor of the castle, near the corridor on the right, behind a portrait of two goats. ”
"I'll be there on time."
……
After saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, Kyle walks out of the Transfiguration classroom.
Connor was waiting for him at the door.
"Is there anything Professor McGonagall is looking for?"
"It's nothing." Kyle casually said, "It's just Professor McGonagall who invited me to her Transfiguration Club." ”
With that, Kyle glanced sideways slightly, ready to admire the little girl's surprised expression.
"Oh...... It turned out to be a club. ”
Connor didn't look back, and said casually, "I also joined Professor Snape's Potions Club when I started school, why did you join now?" ”
"Huh?" Kyle subconsciously asked, "Snape...... Professor, there are clubs too? ”
"Of course, each professor can run their own club and invite students from the third year onwards to join."
"By the time they're in sixth grade, they're going straight into the professor's class," Connor said.
Why, don't you know? ”
Kyle shook his head, he really didn't know.
"That's what Professor Snape told me." Connor turned her head, "I thought you were the same as me, and you were invited by the professor at the beginning of the semester, but I didn't expect it to be so many days late." ”
"Huh...... Maybe the professor is busy. Kylegan laughed twice and immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, what's the next class?"
"Enchantment."
……
I don't know if the professors have discussed it, but after the Charms class, Professor Flitwick also sends out an invitation to Kyle so that he can join his club.
"Of course I'd like to ......" Kyle hesitated for a moment and asked, "I also promised to join Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club, is that okay?" ”
"Of course not." Professor Flitwick laughs, "In fact, many of the best students are like that, like Bill Weasley...... I guess you know him. ”
"Acquaintance." Kyle nodded, "The eldest child of the Weasley family, working as a spell solver at Gringotts. ”
"That's right, it's him, he joined three clubs when he was in school, Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions......"
Professor Flitwick blinked, "I think you must be able to do the same." ”
"It's not necessarily ......," Kyle said to himself.
Nine times out of nine, Snape couldn't have extended him an invitation...... If he was really invited, he would have to consider whether there was any conspiracy involved.
Upon learning that he could play in both clubs at the same time, Kyle gladly accepted Professor Flitwick's offer.
The location is in an empty classroom in the West Tower, and the hours are Monday and Saturday.
Having joined two clubs in a row, it is conceivable that he will definitely be busy in the future, but it is worth it...... After all, this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.
Before I knew it, the day passed before I knew it, and it was 6:50 in a flash.
Kyle stood in the hallway on the eighth floor, looking at the portraits with some confusion.
He had searched it all the time, but he couldn't find any of the paintings with two goats.
One of them has ......
Kyle made his way to the end of the hallway, taking a closer look at the grazing goat inside, and the old wizard tending the sheep next to him.
As soon as he leaned over, the old wizard in the painting yelled dissatisfiedly, "Hey, boy, don't get so close, frizzy, what if you stain the frame!" ”
"Sorry......"
Kyle took a step back and asked, "Do you have a second goat here?" ”
"Unless you can draw me another ......," the old wizard glanced at him.
"But do you want a bantam?"
He pointed to a painting hanging opposite, in which a knight was leading a bantam and swearing something defiant.
Kyle didn't think anything of it, but the old wizard frowned in disgust, "It's too noisy...... Can you shut him up? ”
Kyle's heart moved slightly, and he turned a flavored bean into a thick velvet curtain and hung it on the knight's portrait.
The sound instantly became much quieter.
"Nice Transfiguration Charm." The old wizard said, "But I do have only one goat here. ”
"No...... Kyle laughed, "the goat kept looking around, apparently looking for something...... If I'm not mistaken, your Animagus is a goat.
Mr. Decca Angrus. ”
"You know me?" The old wizard raised an eyebrow.
"I guessed ......"
"You are mentioned in the Beginner's Transfiguration Guide, the most famous Transfiguration master of the eighteenth century, who once turned a fiery dragon into a goat and maintained it for an entire hour."
"That's all in the past...... Nothing. ”
The old wizard waved his hand and got up to leave the frame, "I've changed three times today...... Minerva can really get people in trouble. ”
By the time he returned, he had turned into a goat.
At the same time, the upper and lower ends of the frame began to expand, becoming larger and larger, and several protruding golden lines on the sides intertwined with each other, gradually forming something like a doorknob.
