"The most important thing about Transfiguration is that you have strong beliefs and a good understanding of your goals."

In the Room of Requirement, Kyle transforms a table into a small stone statue half a meter tall and controls it to chop the apple in front of him in half.

Not far away, Hermione carefully jotted down Kyle's words and even took notes......

In fact, Kyle had wanted to go to the flowerbed to see the poison tentacles, but he couldn't say that in front of Hermione, so he made a casual excuse and said that he wanted to practice Transfiguration.

But Kyle forgets that Hermione, unlike Harry and Ron, is a top student, and a curious top student.

Kyle's Transfiguration abilities, she's seen at the Dueling Club.

That was the first time Hermione had intuitively felt how big the gap was between herself and Kyle.

Perhaps out of curiosity or fearing that Kyle would find out the secret of their polyjuice potion, Hermione immediately said that she wanted to follow along and visit the side to learn about it.

And the attitude is very sincere.

Kyle was numb, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he had no choice but to accede to Hermione's request.

So it's what it is now...... He was in an empty room and was forced to practice Transfiguration for more than half an hour.

"It's not as hard as you think."

Kyle picked up half of the apple on the ground, took a bite, and handed the other half to Hermione.

"I suggest that you observe the things around you and get to know their specific structures...... Of course, I don't mean seeing with the eyes, but with magic. ”

Hermione also took a bite of the apple and said thoughtfully, "Like those stone statues that have changed?" ”

"It's simpler, just an apple or a table or a slipper or something."

Kyle shook his head, "Those stone statues belong to some kind of magical creation, and even involve ancient alchemy, so it's hard to use magic to parse their structure...... At least I can't do it right now. ”

"Actually, I'm not a stone statue, I'm just a stone statue-like armor."

After Kyle's reminder, Hermione realized that the half-meter-tall "stone statue" did indeed have many gaps like armor, but they were well hidden, and it was difficult to find them if you didn't look closely.

"Did you learn all this from the Transfiguration Club?"

Hermione asked, "I heard Fred and George say that you attended Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club, what was that like...... Is it the same as a dueling club? ”

"The number of students is much smaller, and it is only for students from the third year onwards, and Professor McGonagall will talk a lot about things other than exams, so let's be considered an advanced class for the transformation class."

Kyle explained, "As for the rest, I can't say too much, otherwise it would be a thorough question, which Professor McGonagall does not allow." ”

Hermione looked a little regretful.

"I'm going back." Kyle briefly packed up his things and asked, "Are you going to stay here?" ”

"Nope." Hermione shook her head, "I agreed with Harry and Ron that I'm going to the library to do my homework today. ”

The two left the Room of Request together.

Kyle wanted to wait for Hermione to go back before turning back, but just as he got to the stairs, he ran into Fred and George.

Each of them was holding a large piece of food, probably having just been to the kitchen.

"Kyle, why are you here!"

Fred was surprised, "We went to the Hufflepuff common room door to find you. ”

"As a result, I was drenched in vinegar!" George wrinkled his nose, "That feeling is really bad, I don't like this Christmas present at all." ”

There was a faint sour smell on the two of them, but their clothes and hair were dry, and they should have been cleaned with a spell before.

"You happen to be here, come with us."

"Christmas is all about being together!"

The two of them walked up to Kyle left and right, and led him forward without saying a word.

Gryffindor's common room was also on the eighth floor, close enough to make it to a large portrait.

In the portrait is a chubby lady who looks very kind.

"Password." She said.

"The sound of heaven."

"Thank you for the compliment......" The fat lady happily opened the passage.

"What did she just say?" Kyle asked, confused.

"The fat lady loves to sing." "But she obviously doesn't have the talent for it." ”

"So she changed the password to this." George laughed, "Every time we come back, it's as if we're complimenting her on how good she sings." ”

"Leave that alone, Kyle."

Fred was the first to cross the aisle, opened his hand and laughed, "Welcome to the Gryffindor common room." ”

Under normal circumstances, students are not allowed to go to other colleges, but now it is a holiday...... Nobody cares about that.

Kyle is pushed in by George.

It is a bright circular room with a red accent and high ceilings, surrounded by soft armchairs.

"How does it feel?" Fred asked with a smile.

"It's great." Kyle said, "It's a little bit smaller than I expected, though. ”

"Is the Hufflepuff common room big?" Hermione, who walked in at the end, asked curiously,

Kyle nodded, "It's a lot bigger than here, but the ceiling is a little lower." ”

"After all, the location is different." George sat down in an armchair.

They still know a little bit about this, and the only thing in the area below is the kitchen and the Hufflepuff common room, and it's normal for the area to be larger.

Hermione nodded, not paying attention.

She looked around and asked, "What about Harry and Ron?" ”

"I don't know, I guess I haven't gotten up yet." "I think they probably wanted to sleep until noon." ”

"Oh, that's not going to work! We still have a lot of homework to do. ”

Hermione frowned and stormed into the boys' dorm room.

"I don't think Ron should want to do his homework on the first day of vacation."

George handed a sandwich to Kyle, "By the way, Kyle, we've already inquired about what you told us earlier. ”

"What?"

George took a bite of the sandwich, "Remember when you told us before that the actions of the Heirs of the Chamber of Secrets would definitely be different from before?" ”

Kyle nodded.

He remembered that when he was chatting before, he did say such a sentence casually, but he didn't expect Fred and George to go out of their way to investigate......

"Have you found who it is?" Kyle asked.

"No...... Or is it simply impossible to find. ”

Fred sighed.

"There were three attacks on the castle, and almost everyone behaved differently because of the panic...... They can't all be the heirs to open the secret room. ”

"It's like Ron......" George glanced in the direction of the dormitory, "they almost never go to the library except for homework......"

"But lately, he's been running there as soon as class is out and doesn't come back until just before curfew...... I even suspect that Ron was controlled by the Imperius Curse. ”

"Shut up, Fred!"

At this time, Ron just rubbed his eyes and came to the common room, he sat down in an armchair, and said angrily, "If you are thought by everyone to be the one who opens the secret room, you will also go to the library...... At least no one there will be staring at you with strange eyes all the time. ”
