The original frame was turned into a door.

Kyle holds down the doorknob...... With a "click", the door opened.

Behind the door was a room not much bigger than the Transfiguration classroom, but there were far fewer people sitting in it than there were in class.

Including Professor McGonagall and Kyle herself, exactly ten people...... On average, only two people in a grade can join Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club.

Such a disparity shows how strict Professor McGonagall's criteria for selecting members are.

As soon as Kyle walked into the room, there was a round of applause...... The person sitting on the outermost side applauded the most.

"Cedric?"

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Kyle subconsciously said, "When you left the common room, didn't you say that you were going to the kitchen to get something to eat?" ”

"Uh...... Sorry, Kyle. ”

Cedric scratched at his hair and said embarrassedly, "Professor McGonagall won't let me tell you." ”

"It's true that I asked him to keep it a secret...... This is also to prevent him from giving you some clues or hints. ”

Professor McGonagall laughed, "Finding the entrance to the club alone was the first test.

Now it seems that you have done a good job, so sit down. ”

Professor McGonagall gestured to an empty seat not far away.

There was only one round table in the room, and everyone sat around it, with just one room vacating next to Cedric and Percy...... Apparently for Kyle.

It was only when Kyle walked over that he realized that there was only a low quadrangular stool that looked like a small maza.

Others sat in chairs with wide backs and velvet cushions.

Plus the eyes around that are dedicated to watching the excitement.

Kyle knew in an instant, and without thinking about it, this must be the second test.

If he couldn't do it, he would have to sit on a low quadrangular stool and take lessons with the others.

But naturally this will not happen.

Kyle pulls out his wand and flicks it, and the original quadrangular stool becomes a new velvet chair, just like everyone else.

There was another round of applause, and some of the older students began to introduce themselves to Kyle.

This means that they have officially accepted Kyle as a member of the club.

Of these people, there is only one person in the third and fourth grades, that is, Kyle and Cedric.

In fifth year, there were two Slytherins and one Ravenclaw, but Kyle didn't know each other.

In addition to Percy in the sixth year, there is also the prefect of Ravenclaw, Penelo Riot...... She was also the first to introduce herself to Kyle.

The rest is seventh grade.

……

Once Kyle was seated, Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and everyone had an extra Transfiguration of the Day in front of them.

"I got the latest issue of the magazine ahead of time, and that's what we're going to talk about today." Professor McGonagall said, "You can choose the article that interests you the most and share your opinion. ”

"Yes, Professor McGonagall!" The crowd said.

Then all that was left in the classroom was the sound of flipping books.

Unlike classes, clubs are more about students discussing with each other and exchanging their own understandings and opinions.

Professor McGonagall's role is to make sure everyone's thinking is on the right track, and to help them get a boost when they're stagnant.

The learning atmosphere in the room was very strong, and the discussion was the most intense...... It's the fifth or sixth grade centered on Percy.

The article they chose was about cross-species multiple metamorphosis, which is one of the hottest topics in Transfiguration research.

Percy has offered a lot of opinions and understandings about himself, and he seems to be preparing to publish an article on the topic before he graduates.

Transfiguration Today features a Most Promising Newcomer award for young wizards who have not yet graduated from Hogwarts.

Percy was going for that.

As a professional academic journal, this award has a high gold content, and if he can get it, it will be of great help to him to enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation.

……

By the time the Transfiguration Club ended, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

After Professor McGonagall had finished her final summary and answered a few questions, the group left the room on the eighth floor and headed for their common room.

"How does it feel......" Cedric asked on the way back.

"It's very rewarding and efficient." Kyle glanced at the parchment he was holding, "It would be nice if I could come once a day." ”

"Professor McGonagall probably doesn't think so." Cedric laughed, "She doesn't have that much time. ”

"I know ......"

The two made their way to the kitchen hallway.

Before entering the common room, Kyle suddenly looked at Cedric and said solemnly, "Mr. Diggory, do you still want to go to the kitchen to get something to eat?" I can wait for you. ”

"Hey, don't do that."

Cedric's face was a little embarrassed, "It's really Professor McGonagall who asked me to keep it a secret, and I can't help it."

And I'm sure that painting won't bother you. ”

"I am honored to receive such high praise from you." Kyle glanced at him, "But Professor McGonagall also said that you weren't allowed to swim at night, why did you forget that when you followed us to the Forbidden Forest?" ”

"It's not the same...... Cedric argues, "I'm ...... Watch you and protect you...... Undetected by Filch. ”

"Do you believe that?" Kyle said angrily.

"Okay...... Unbelief. Cedric sighed, "And if I invite you to a butterbeer, can you forget about it?" ”

Kyle raised an eyebrow, "...... You still want to steal Fred and George's jobs? ”

"So what am I going to do?" Cedric said helplessly.

"Well...... "I'll forgive you for just shouting out that the Wembourne Hornets are the best Quidditch team." ”

"You're dreaming!"

Cedric's face changed immediately, "Those reckless men should be at the bottom of the league, they don't know anything about the art of Quidditch. ”

"In fact...... The Hornets finished second in the league this year. Kyle laughed and said, "The artillery team is at the bottom." ”

"That's only temporary......," Cedric said with a determined expression, "I'm sure they'll catch up and regain their glory!" ”

If the bottom 30 years can be considered "temporary", then maybe they may really catch up. ”

Kyle shrugged, "It's just fifty years later...... Or longer, a hundred years? ”

"Hah, we'll see...... Let's see which of us can have the last laugh. ”

Cedric tapped the barrel with his wand and walked in without looking back.
