Chapter Twenty-Eight: Merlin and Morgana (Ask for Recommendations)
This time, the content of the Transfiguration class was a little more esoteric than the previous one.
Professor Troka taught them how to turn a match back into a match after they had turned it into a needle.
To be honest, it's not easy, especially if you want to leave the restored matches, intact, or even ignited.
Even Matthew failed many times, either because half of the match used to cast the spell was still a needle, or because the restored match could not be lit at all.
"If you can't revert the deformed item, then it means that there was a mistake in your first transformation. Professor Troka walked around the classroom and said, "A very small mistake, many times not even visible to the naked eye, but very deadly......"
β...... Because the object you are now transforming is just a match. And if one day, the object of your transformation is valuables, animals, or even your friends, then the slightest mistake means that they will leave you forever!"
Professor Troka paused, then said in a rather serious voice, "Remember, before performing a transformation, you must be cautious and cautious...... If you are only 99% sure, give up on this transformation immediately, and if you are 100% sure, then do not hesitate!"
Eventually, just before the end of class, Matthew finally succeeded.
With a slight stroke, the match that had been transformed into a needle and back again was successfully lit.
The glittering firelight illuminated Matthew's face.
Professor Troka also made a complimentary gesture to Matthew.
This time's homework is also a foot-long essay, but this time Matthew also needs to complete it, no exception.
......
After the Transfiguration class, the "nightmare" at breakfast began to continue.
When Professor Troka just announced that he was out of classβ
Several Slytherin girls of the same grade hurried to his side and hugged him in the center.
Pansy Parkinson, Millison Persted, Daphne Greengrass, and Tracy Davis......
Except for Agnes Lestrange, who was still staring at a needle at the wooden table in the Transfiguration classroom, the rest of the girls came.
Another group of Hufflepuff students regretted that they didn't get the first shot.
"What the hell happened to your dormitory?"
"It's said to be a powerful extreme black magic item, isn't it?"
"Draco, how is Draco doing now?"
Matthew could only take the trouble to continue to respond to them with three consecutive triples.
"Sorry...... I don't know...... Didn't understand ......"
There was also a small episode during the period.
As the group walked out of the Transfiguration classroom, Gryffindor's Harry Evans suddenly bumped into him without a head.
He first pushed Parkinson to the side, then caused Davis to let out a scream, and finally bumped into Matthew, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Sorry......"
Just as Matthew was about to apologize, he suddenly found that the short, bespectacled boy had gotten up from the ground and ran away.
Soon disappeared without a trace.
After a hurried lunch in the auditorium, Matthew, who couldn't bear the harassment, hurried to the library.
This is finally a little peaceful.
After all, few students dared to provoke Mrs. Pince and make a loud noise in the library.
I finally spent a quiet noon in the library.
Matthew sighed a little, this kind of life may have to go on for a few days.
......
Monday afternoon was the history of magic class, and Matthew didn't arrive until shortly before class.
The history of magic class is a large classroom, where all the first-year students of the school gather...... At this time, the first-year students were the only subject they were taking in four colleges, also because Professor Bathilda Bassat was too old and limited in energy to afford too many courses.
Matthew found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.
As he sat down, Professor Bathilda Bassat was helped into the classroom by two house-elves.
"Please turn to page 11 of your History of Magic. Professor Basshat's voice was not high, and it was somewhat hoarse.
But as soon as she spoke, the huge classroom quickly fell silent.
"In this lesson, we're going to talk about two wizards who are famous in British history...... Merlin, and Morgana!" said Professor Basshat.
"When it comes to Merlin, I think everyone should be familiar with it, and perhaps there will be no wizard more famous than him in the whole of English history. The famous Order of the Order of the Merlin Order has been handed down to this day in his honor. β
And when it comes to Merlin and Hogwarts, the two are also quite related. When Merlin was about six hundred years old, he took on the form of a child and infiltrated the newly established Hogwarts, where the Sorting Hat placed him in Slytherin House, even though he had only been there for less than an hour. β
"Merlin is not a complete pure-blood wizard, his mother is a wizard, and his father is an ancient magical creature called the 'Dream Demon...... Of course, more than 1,000 years ago, this creature was completely extinct. However, it was precisely because half of the Dream Demon bloodline, coupled with the fact that he had been using the elixir to renew his life, that Merlin had a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary wizards. β
He did not die until the elven rebellion of the eighteenth century...... During that bloody rebellion, Merlin was cursed to protect wizards and non-wizards, and eventually left this world forever. β
"If you talk about Merlin's exploits, then naturally you also have to talk about his former sworn enemy, the Black Witch Morgana!"
Muggles called her Morgan Le Fay, the half-sister of King Arthur, the Muggle king in the sixth century, and the ruler of Avalon. β
"Like Merlin, Morgana is half of the Dream Fiend' bloodline, which is why they were evenly matched in the first place. But Merlin eventually won the duel with Morgana, and after defeating the Black Witch, he ushered in a new era of British wizarding!"
