This Transfiguration class opened the eyes of many young wizards.
The difficulty of the Transformation Spell has led to the fact that even many of their parents are still not proficient in using the Transformation Spell.
Naturally, it is unclear how this kind of magic, which does not have many standard spells, works in actual combat. This also leads to the fact that many of them are not very interested in this class.
But those little wizards who knew the power of the transformation spell listened very seriously.
But no matter how carefully they listened to the lectures and watched Professor McGonagall's demonstration, they were still at a loss when faced with the match in front of them.
"How can this thing be changed?"
Harry looked at the matches in front of him and looked at Ron next to him at a loss. Then he saw Ron waving his wand mechanically with almost dull eyes.
He was obviously distracted, and the match in front of him also showed no change at all.
Seeing that he couldn't get much help from Ron, he looked up in Hermione's direction again. At this time, Hermione was also waving her wand, frowning. He finally looked at Luke and saw that Luke didn't even move his wand, he was just standing there.
While breathing a sigh of relief, Harry could only flip through the notes he had just taken during Professor McGonagall's lecture, and try the above steps bit by bit.
And just when he was about to wave his wand again, he suddenly heard Professor McGonagall's voice.
"Very good, a very good quality needle, Mr. Gaunt, Slytherin, plus five points."
Harry looked in Luke's direction in shock.
Professor McGonagall was seen standing next to Luke, holding a thin silver needle in his hand. The needle looked so ordinary. If he didn't know Luke's personality, Harry would have doubted whether Luke had a needle around him before and he took it out and used it directly.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Luke said to Professor McGonagall with a smile.
Professor McGonagall smiled back, then put the needle back on the table and said, "Next, let's make it more precise."
Luke's smile faltered.
"Do the best you can, Luke."
Professor McGonagall patted Luke on the shoulder, and then continued to see other students.
"How did you do it?" Taylor, standing next to Luke, picked up the needle from the table, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it over and over.
She had just witnessed Luke study hard and then wave his wand twice.
For the first time, the matches had a metallic sheen.
The second time, the match became the current needle.
"Just... working the magic, waving the wand, thinking about turning matches into needles."
Luke thought for a moment, then spoke.
Taylor blinked, not sure what to say. It feels like the steps Luke mentioned are even more exaggerated than what Professor McGonagall just said.
"You'd better think about how to make it more refined."
After saying that, he put the needle back in front of Luke, then frowned and started waving the wand.
Hermione on the other side frowned, looking unyielding. The force of waving the wand in his hand became stronger and stronger. Lavender beside her was startled.
However, at the end of this class, no one else completed this task.
Hermione made the match thinner and more pointed, but the shape was still very different, and it had no metallic color. It's impossible to call it a needle.
However, Professor McGonagall still gave Hermione three points.
In addition to the fact that this is the only little wizard who has gained something after excluding Luke, naturally there is also the fact that this is indeed a level of performance that exceeds what should be achieved in the first class. It's not too much to say "a top student".
As for Luke, the last needle he handed over was already engraved with the coat of arms of the Gaunt family.
Clearly visible and very refined.
But Professor McGonagall just nodded with satisfaction. But Luke could still see the surprise in the professor's eyes.
When the bell rang, Hermione immediately walked towards Luke, wanting to ask him how he did it.
"Luke, please stay here for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Professor McGonagall called Luke.
So Hermione could only watch Luke walk in the direction of Professor McGonagall.
Hermione was a little disappointed, but the next moment her arm was held by Taylor who came over.
"Don't think about it, that guy doesn't have any tricks, he just relies on talent."
Taylor smiled and said to Hermione: "I watched Luke wave his wand twice and turn the match into a needle. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then waved the wand and added the family crest to the needle. . In this case, it’s not skills at first glance, it’s all talent.”
Hermione's lips tightened, but she relaxed a little later. She was mentally prepared for the talent gap between herself and Luke early on.
"Don't be sad. We're not going to compete with perverts. You're pretty awesome too. You're the only one besides Luke who gets extra points!"
Taylor comforted Hermione and said, "Let's go, let them talk first, and the two of us go to eat first."
Hermione looked at the girl in front of her who looked a little rustic and sloppy, but was actually very beautiful, and nodded silently.
Although school has only been in school for a few days, she has already successfully relied on her personality and style to make herself few friends among girls.
Taylor is probably the only girl who knows her character and is willing to be her friend.
"Walk!"
Hermione said to Taylor with a smile on her face.
"Tomorrow, people from the Lance family will come to give you the compensation."
In Professor McGonagall's office, she poured Luke a cup of black tea.
"So fast?"
Luke said with some surprise. After all, whether it is the position of industry or school director, handover takes time. Moreover, it will take some time to transfer the invisible assets of some industries, such as customers, brand names, key employees, etc., not to mention the position of school director. This does not mean that you can have it if you have it.
"They are more anxious than you." Professor McGonagall took a sip of tea and said, "And they already had the position of school director. The Gaunt family's original school director position was forcibly sold to the Lance family at a high price. Now. It can be regarded as returning to its original owner.”
Luke nodded indifferently. He was not very interested in anything left by the previous Gaunt family. Whether it's hostility or kindness.
Professor McGonagall didn't say much. When they meet tomorrow, Luke must know what's going on behind the scenes. There was no need for her to say more.
Then she took out a notebook from her desk drawer.
"This is my transfiguration note. You should take it and read it first. If you don't understand anything, please ask me immediately. Transfiguration is very dangerous, so don't take it lightly."
Luke looked at the notebook pushed across the table. There was silence for a long time, and then he picked it up solemnly. He stood up and bowed to Professor McGonagall: "Thank you, Professor."
Professor McGonagall waved her hand indifferently: "No need to be so polite to me."
Then, she took a deep breath and said: "Luke, have you really thought about it? We all know the things you did in the academy. You also know that this kind of behavior is very similar to those two people. Bar."
She emphasized the word "we", and it was obvious what she was emphasizing.
"I believe the professors will naturally make judgments. If they feel something is wrong, they can stop me directly."
Professor McGonagall could hear the "stop" in this sentence, which was definitely not as gentle as the original intention.
"More importantly, Professor," Luke's eyes flashed, "I believe in myself, and I will not follow the same path as them."
"I just go my own way."
