Chapter 17: Homework is free again

The combination of a bluffing speech and Professor McGonagall's serious expression was quite intimidating, and the classroom was still dead silent when McGonagall said class.

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction instead of being upset, this is what she does to the freshmen every year, and it is time to give a sweet date after the stick is finished, in order to motivate the students, Professor McGonagall demonstrates the magic of Transfiguration.

I saw her wave her wand slightly, and the lectern turned into a lively little pig, which no one would have thought that it was a table before, and Hope's eyes flashed in his seat, and this was the transformation effect he wanted.

The effect of this scene was very good, and it quickly attracted the attention of the little wizards, who were eager to start learning Transfiguration immediately.

McGonagall, who showed her hand in front of the students, said with satisfaction: "Of course, it is still difficult to achieve this step, so we will start with the basics, and I believe that as long as you study hard, you will soon reach this level." ”

After the chicken blood was finished, the little wizards began to get serious with their screams, and Professor McGonagall began to teach boring theories, and a large number of complex formulas and theories were written on the blackboard, and with Professor McGonagall's easy-to-understand explanations, the little wizards recorded them very carefully.

But the teaching of theory quickly consumed the passion of the young wizards, and Professor McGonagall apparently noticed this, so the theory ended, and Professor McGonagall gave each young wizard a match, a practical teaching, turning a match into a needle.

While the students around him were trying to turn matches into silver needles, Hope was still sorting out his notes, Professor McGonagall was worthy of being a master of Transfiguration, he thought that he had learned almost the "Elementary Transfiguration Guide", but according to Professor McGonagall's teaching ideas, he still had a lot to miss.

Professor McGonagall, who was looking around in class, also noticed Hope as he was sorting out his notes, and although she was very satisfied with Hope's learning attitude, magic was still easier to grasp in the end.

So Professor McGonagall walked up to Hope and reminded, "Mr. Lloyd, why don't you try it first?" You can take notes later, and if you don't understand, you can ask me after class. ”

Hope, who came back to his senses from his notes, was stunned for a moment when he heard Professor McGonagall's words, then looked up to see Professor McGonagall standing next to him solemnly, and replied, "Okay, Professor McGonagall." ”

However, Professor McGonagall, who had finished reminding her, did not plan to leave, which made Matteo and Caleb next to Hope miserable, and the two of them who were already struggling with casting spells directly added a stressful debuff.

Under Professor McGonagall's gaze, Hope cleared his throat and recited the spell of Transfiguration, which he had done many times during the holidays, in fact, he could be more casual, this level of Transfiguration was no longer difficult for him, but after all, the Professor was next to him, he was still a little more standard.

With the incantation, the original wooden match smoothly turned into a silver needle.

Professor McGonagall looked at Hope's relaxed appearance in surprise, as we all know that Transfiguration is one of the most complex courses, and it is rare to succeed in transforming in one go, let alone so easily, there is no flaw in the needle of the deformation.

Professor McGonagall became interested, and said, "I wonder if Mr. Lloyd can make the silver needle a little more beautiful, such as carving a little bit of pattern." ”

Hope looked at Professor McGonagall suspiciously, although he didn't know what the intention was, but it was not difficult for him, and he waved his wand again, and the slender silver needle turned into a hollowed-out, carved with Hufflepuff House motifs, still with ease.

Professor McGonagall picked up the silver needle and looked at it carefully, and in the sunlight, the hollowed-out silver needle was extremely beautiful, and Professor McGonagall became more interested, and decided to increase the difficulty again.

The surrounding classmates were also attracted by the anomaly here, and they put down their wands and watched.

Professor McGonagall said, "It's a beautiful Transfiguration Charm, I don't know if I can make it a cup, if you can, please make the cup as big and beautiful as possible." ”

Hope nodded, imagining the shape of the cup in his heart, and waved his wand again, this time he felt a little pressure, the greater the difference between the objects before and after the transformation, the more difficult it is to deform, the cup and matches are not of the same level in terms of volume, let alone the appearance, with Hope's efforts, a palm-sized golden teacup appeared on the table, and the cup was engraved with the Hogwarts school crest.

Looking at the teacup on the table, Professor McGonagall applauded, and the classroom burst into applause under Professor McGonagall's leadership.

"Excellent shapeshift, Hufflepuff Plus ten!"

After the applause, Professor McGonagall paused and said, "There is a challenge, I don't know if Mr. Lloyd wants to challenge it, if the challenge is successful, I can waive your first-year homework." ”

And skip the homework? Hope certainly accepted this kind of good thing, and he still had a lot to learn.

Hope said firmly, "I accept it." ”

Professor McGonagall looked at Hope appreciatively and said, "Please Mr. Lloyd turn this match into a ladybug." ”

The difficulty has soared, this is no longer the content of the "Elementary Transfiguration Guide", but the content of the "Intermediate Transfiguration" that he has been watching in the past few days.

He hadn't tried it yet, but it would be nice to take on a challenge, and Hope took a deep breath, and with a flick of his wand, the match began to transform into a ladybug.

Professor McGonagall watched from the sidelines, presumably failing.

Hope also felt that he was about to fail, and suddenly the knowledge of metamorphosis in his mind suddenly became much clearer in Hope's mind, and it was the help of nature's favor.

In an instant, a ladybug appeared on the table, but this one was much stiffer than the real ladybug. This time, Professor McGonagall was completely shocked, such a high talent for transformation, this challenge was originally something she found interesting, she didn't expect Hope to succeed.

The purpose is to make Hope not proud, there is still a long way to go, and she must study hard in the future, even if Hope fails, although she will not be exempted from the homework of this grade, it is still possible to be exempted until Christmas.

Since Hope did it, of course she did what she said, but she wanted to open a small back door for Hope, which is not easy to say about class time, let's talk about it after class.

After adding ten points to Hufflepuff again, Hope began to work as a small assistant, working with Professor McGonagall to help young wizards who had not mastered it.

With an unusual perception of magic power, Hope easily pointed out the shortcomings in the little wizard's spell casting, which was well received by everyone, and everyone laughed and called Professor Hope.

Hope wasn't famous in the last Charms class, but this time Hope was really famous.

After class, Professor McGonagall left Hope behind and said, "You've been watching the second-year learning lately, right?" ”

Hope nodded and said, "Yes Professor, I've been watching Intermediate Transfiguration lately. ”

"Very good, turning matches into ladybugs is originally the content of your second grade, and the second grade does not use matches but coins about the same size as ladybugs, and even then there are many people who are not as good as you."

"This is the first class of school, and it's hard to imagine what you will achieve in the future."

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to come to the second year to audit?" Although there will be conflicts in some classes, with your talent, you can make up for these lessons by yourself, and you can always ask me if you don't understand. ”

yie? Is there such a good thing?
