Cedric skillfully moved a set of tables and chairs and set them up, reminding Hope: "Although the kitchen is very close to the lounge, we will not tell others on our own initiative. If you ask the Hufflepuff seniors, they will tell you, This is a little benefit for us Hufflepuffs, and don’t come to the kitchen during meal time, they are quite busy at this time.”
Hope nodded to show her understanding. No wonder the new students didn't know where the kitchen was.
I have to say that cooking with magic is really fast. Not long after the two sat down, Beta delivered dinner. Cedric asked Hope while eating: "In the common room just now, I saw you reading "Intermediate Transfiguration"? I remember your first class was the Charms class, right?"
Hope nodded and said: "Professor Flitwick exempted me from my homework. There will be a Transfiguration class tomorrow. Thinking magic items like Wizard Chess are quite interesting. I remember Transfiguration can do this. "Elementary Transfiguration" It's not in the "Guide", and I can't understand it in the "Advanced Transfiguration Guide", so let's take a look at the "Intermediate Transfiguration" first."
Hearing this, Cedric put down the sandwich in his hand. Is it so rolled for freshmen now? He is still studying the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration".
After a brief silence, Hope thought for a while, expressed his idea of making a map, and revealed his design.
Cedric thought for a while and said: "According to your idea, the map cannot be drawn on ordinary paper. If it is to guide the direction, the directional spell can do it."
"What is a directional spell?" Hope asked.
Cedric: "A kind of spell that guides the way. The spell is 'Show me the way'. If you are lost, use this spell to imagine where you want to go and he will guide you."
Hope blinked, so magical? It's not scientific. By the way, it's magic, so that's okay.
Hope continued: "My idea is to prepare a map of the entire Hogwarts area, then zoom in based on the user's position, and use a line to guide the user on how to go and how far away it is."
Cedric is worthy of being a pure-blood and the first in age. Although he is only in the second grade, he still gave his own advice: "As for the area map, I don't have any good methods, so I can only explore and draw it myself. For the location, I can use The only thing I can think of to show the distance is the human trace spell, but that’s a third-year course selection.”
Seeing Hope's serious look, Cedric persuaded: "Actually, what we study in the first and second grades are some principles. Only by knowing these principles can we learn more advanced knowledge, so there will be elective courses in the third grade. I think We should lay a good foundation.”
Hope thought about it and it was right, but he always felt that the progress of the course was too slow. After learning the basics in two years, he felt that it was not necessary.
Cedric was relieved to see Hope listening. Being Hope's senior was really stressful.
After dinner, Hope brought a bag of pumpkin pie to her roommate, and the two finally stopped playing with the wizard chess set.
Lying on the bed, Hope flipped through the map he bought, and there were a lot more marks on it. This was the information he added about Hogwarts that day. It was so troublesome to make a map on his whim, but this was the only way to make it challenging.
The next day, Hope rarely slept in. He didn't get up until around ten o'clock, because there was only one Transfiguration class today and it was in the afternoon. However, I heard Cedric said yesterday that there would be more and more classes in the future, such as their Although the curriculum has not changed in the second grade, one class per week has been changed to two classes per week.
In the third grade, elective courses are added to the two classes per week, and in the fifth grade, there are also more advanced elective courses. The teaching concept of enjoying first and then suffering is also a good idea.
At noon, Hope and roommates Mateo and Caleb finished lunch and rushed to the Transfiguration classroom. Hope had already been here yesterday, so the three of them didn't waste much time. It was obviously too much to be late after such a long preparation time in the morning. .
This class is taken by Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. The specific house they take it with is not fixed, but rotated. For example, yesterday's Charms class was taken by Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Well that's not the case for the next Charms lesson.
At this time, there were many people sitting in the class. Most of the school uniforms were Ravenclaws. There was a cat lying on the podium. The three of them found a seat in the front row. Caleb was obviously very fond of the cat. Interested, I thought about going up and touching a few.
In the end, Caleb couldn't help but wanted to go up and play with the kitten, but Hope stopped him. Caleb looked at Hope doubtfully and said, "I know this is Professor McGonagall's pet. I went up to touch it." Professor Ge probably won’t mind, but it’s a pity that I didn’t bring any dried fish.”
Hope looked at the impatient Caleb speechlessly. No wonder you can quarrel with wizard chess. Look at Ravenclaw's calm look. Although they were discussing the cat on the podium, they did not rush forward to tease the cat. In the textbook I mentioned a special transformation technique, Animagus, which can turn people into animals. With the characteristics of Ravenclaw, I must have read the textbook, and I should have a general understanding of Animagus. Combined with cats It's normal to guess something about his appearance.
The Hufflepuff students did not step forward so recklessly. Caleb, why are you so impulsive? Hope said, "I wonder if you have read the textbook?"
Caleb shook his head in confusion, no serious person could preview the textbook in advance.
Hope could only explain patiently: "The first page of the "Elementary Transformation Guide" introduces several special transformation techniques. One of them is called Animagus, which can make the wizard turn into an animal. Not as dangerous as body dysmorphia.”
"And if you look carefully at the eye circles of this cat, do they look very much like Professor McGonagall's eyes? Moreover, the magazine "Transfiguration Today" records all seven Animagus people today, including McGonagall. Professor Ge’s name, her Animagus is a little kitten.”
One thing Hope didn't say is that he knows Animagus so he is familiar with Animagus, and he doesn't know what the cat is thinking. Obviously she is not a real cat.
After hearing this, Caleb sat down obediently and opened the book. Sure enough, there was indeed an introduction to the anima format on it.
Perhaps in order to comply with Hope's statement, the little cat jumped down from the desk and resumed the appearance of Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall said lightly: "Very keen observation, Mr. Lloyd. You are the fastest to discover that little The cat is mine, plus five points for Hufflepuff.”
After speaking, he glanced at Caleb: "It is a good habit to preview before class. Transfiguration is different from the spell class. It is much more dangerous. There are many wizards at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries due to improper operation of transfiguration. Turn yourself into a person who is neither a human nor a ghost. I hope that every student can listen to me carefully during class and don't make trouble in class, otherwise I will ask you to leave."
Caleb lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall didn't say much. He looked at the time and saw that class was about to start. All the students were here, and he announced, "Then class will start now."
