Chapter 129 Transfiguration Class
The next day, Monday, in the Transfiguration classroom of Hogwarts.
Most of the young wizards from Ravenclaw and Slytherin sat upright, and the few who were talking kept their voices low, and occasionally glanced at the door of the classroom vigilantly, as if some ferocious beast would appear from there at any time.
Over the past year, McGonagall's prestige has accumulated in the hearts of the young wizards like McGonagall. Now, as long as McGonagall appears, even the most naughty students will instantly become good kids.
In the whole Hogwarts, only McGonagall and Snape can do this, and those who are familiar with Dumbledore know that he is an approachable old man, so they will not be too restrained in front of him.
"Click."
The door of the Transfiguration classroom was suddenly opened, and Professor McGonagall, with a serious face, walked in with her head held high. In just a moment, the few remaining voices in the classroom immediately disappeared.
Professor McGonagall scanned the crowd with her hawk-like eyes, and when she saw that everyone was as obedient as a quail, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Then our class today will officially begin." Professor McGonagall said, "Today's class content is to turn buttons into butterflies. I believe that everyone here should be able to do it after more than a year of study. Finally, before we officially start, I must reiterate again, what is the most important point about Transfiguration?" As soon as
Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the little wizards in the audience shouted in unison as if they had rehearsed thousands of times:
"Be careful!"
In fact, Professor McGonagall has indeed asked this question countless times, and she would ask it again before almost every class.
Transfiguration is an extremely dangerous spell, especially for the transformation of human bodies or other living things, which can easily lead to irreversible deformation.
In the past few thousand years, countless wizards have become monsters because of this, such as the kappa in Neon Country and the banshee with a human face and a bird body. These terrifying humanoid monsters are actually wizards who failed to transform.
Professor McGonagall saw this and asked the little wizards to start transforming. She herself kept patrolling the classroom and helped the students who had problems.
Don't think this is an easy thing to say. There are only a few people who can transform into a complete butterfly, let alone a beautiful one.
The butterflies transformed by these little wizards are all kinds of strange. Some butterflies have small wings on one side and large wings on the other side, so they can't fly at all. Some simply transform into a pupa or a caterpillar. Some buttons don't change at all after the transformation.
The above are still good, at least there is no danger.
After a chubby little wizard in Slytherin recited the spell of the transformation spell, the button exploded directly, turning several Slytherin students around him into afro hair. Their funny appearance caused a burst of laughter in the classroom.
For this, Slytherin was deducted 10 points, not because he failed to cast the spell, but because they disrupted the order of the class.
Mike didn't pay attention to that. At this moment, he was concentrating on imagining the appearance of the butterfly with his eyes closed.
From the colorful wings of the butterfly to its hairy body covered with scales, Mike strived for perfection.
Suddenly, Mike opened his eyes and stared at the button with sharp eyes, as if he regarded it as his mortal enemy. At the same time, he pointed his wand at the button and shouted the spell of the Transfiguration Spell:
"Villa Vito!"
With his shout, the black button on the desk began to stretch and become thinner rapidly, and then six slender insect legs slowly appeared, and finally a pair of wings with a black base and mixed with red, yellow and other colors also stretched out.
The butterfly's wings gently flapped and wanted to take off. It seemed that it was not familiar with the body of a butterfly, so it failed after several attempts.
Fortunately, butterflies are born with a high talent for flying. After practicing for a while, it finally flapped its big wings with beautiful phoenix tails and flew up slowly, landing on the tip of Mike's wand.
"Huh~"
Mike exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his heart finally settled down.
Mike tried his best in this Transfiguration.
There was no other way. Mike's Transfiguration grades were not good enough to impress Professor McGonagall. He wanted to ensure that Professor McGonagall would tell him the secret of Cedric's Transfiguration only when she was in a good mood. Although
this last-minute cramming behavior might not have much effect, there was no other way at this time.
Mike silently swore in his heart that he must study Transfiguration well in the future.
Professor McGonagall had also dealt with Slytherin's affairs at this time and noticed the butterfly on the tip of Mike's wand.
"Perfect Transfiguration, Mr. Townley!" Professor McGonagall's serious face rarely showed a smile, "No one in the whole second grade can become better than you except Miss Hermione Granger! Ravenclaw plus 10 points." The
surrounding students all cast admiring eyes on Mike, and Professor McGonagall turned around and continued to help other students.
Mike also noticed the smile on Professor McGonagall's face, and secretly thought that there was a chance, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.
So he stood up and went with Professor McGonagall to help those students who always had problems with spells.
Sure enough, after noticing Mike's actions, Professor McGonagall's smile became even brighter.
This continued until the end of the class. Most of the people in the classroom were able to turn buttons into butterflies, although the butterflies they turned into still looked like genetic mutations.
After Professor McGonagall announced the end of the class, everyone rushed out of the classroom, as if they didn't want to stay with Professor McGonagall for a moment.
But Mike didn't leave. He waited quietly in the same place until he and Professor McGonagall were the only two people left in the classroom. Then Mike smiled and said to Professor McGonagall, who had just cleaned up the mess left by the students and was about to leave:
"Professor, can I take up a moment of your time?" Mike's face was filled with a smile as bright as the sun. "I have some questions about Transfiguration that I want to ask you."
Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard this. In her impression, Mike had never been interested in Transfiguration. Therefore, although Mike also had a very high talent in Transfiguration, his grades were always suppressed by Hermione. A flash of inspiration
came to her mind, and Professor McGonagall seemed to have figured out something, and her expression became stern.
"Don't think I don't know what you're fighting for. I will never teach you the Animagus Transfiguration! You must not practice it secretly!" Professor McGonagall scolded, "I know that young and talented wizards like you always think they can do anything, but please remember that the most important thing about learning Transfiguration is to be cautious. With your talent, you will definitely succeed as long as you study hard. There's no need to be so anxious." Professor McGonagall's
long string of sermons made Mike look confused. He never thought that Professor McGonagall would think that he wanted to ask about the Animagus problem.
"Uh, you misunderstood Professor. I came to you because I have other questions. Do you think it's possible..."
Professor McGonagall looked at Mike suspiciously, and when she saw that he didn't look like a liar, she said, "Well, come with me to the office."
