A bluffing speech combined with Professor McGonagall's serious expression was indeed quite scary. When McGonagall was talking about class, the classroom was still silent.
Professor McGonagall was not unhappy but nodded with satisfaction. This was something she would do to the new students every year. After the big stick was beaten, it was time to give a sweet date. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students, Professor McGonagall showed the magic of Transfiguration. .
She waved her wand gently, and the desk turned into a lively little pig. With such a naive look, no one would have thought that it was a table before. Hope's eyes flickered from her seat as she looked at this. It was the deformation 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.
Mag, who showed off his skills in front of the students, said with satisfaction: "Of course it is quite difficult to achieve this step, so we will start from the basics. I believe that as long as you study hard, you will reach this level soon. .”
After finishing the chicken blood injection, the little wizards started to get serious. Taking advantage of this momentum, Professor McGonagall began to give boring theoretical teachings. A lot of complicated formulas and theories were written on the blackboard, in conjunction with Professor McGonagall's popular lectures. Easy-to-understand explanations, and the little wizards took notes carefully.
However, the theoretical teaching quickly consumed the enthusiasm of the little wizards. Professor McGonagall obviously noticed this, so the theory was over. Professor McGonagall gave each little wizard a match and used practical teaching to turn the match into a match. A needle.
While the students around him were working hard to turn matches into silver needles, Hope was still sorting out his notes. Professor McGonagall was indeed a master of Transfiguration. He thought he had almost learned the "Elementary Transfiguration Guide", but according to McGonagall, Professor Ge's teaching ideas are very advanced, but he still has many omissions.
Professor McGonagall, who was observing around the classroom, also noticed Hope who was sorting out his notes. Although he was very satisfied with Hope's learning attitude, in the final analysis, magic was easier to master through practical operations.
So Professor McGonagall walked to Hope and reminded: "Mr. Lloyd, why don't you try it first? You can take notes later. If you don't understand, you can ask me after class."
Hope, who came back from his notes, was stunned for a moment when he heard Professor McGonagall's words. He looked up and saw Professor McGonagall standing beside him seriously, and replied: "Okay Professor McGonagall."
However, Professor McGonagall had no intention of leaving after the reminder, which was a pain for Mateo and Caleb next to Hope. The two people who were already troubled by spellcasting directly added a huge debuff.
Under the gaze of Professor McGonagall, Hope cleared his throat and recited the incantation of transformation. He had completed this set of actions many times during the holidays. In fact, he could be more casual. This level of transformation was no longer possible for him. No matter how difficult it is, but after all, the professor is right next to him, so he should be more standard.
As the mantra was chanted, the original wooden matches turned into silver needles smoothly.
Professor McGonagall looked at Hope's relaxed look in surprise. As we all know, Transfiguration is one of the most complicated courses. It is rare to successfully transform in one go, let alone be so relaxed. The transformed needle has no flaws at all.
Professor McGonagall became interested and raised the difficulty level: "I wonder if Mr. Lloyd can make the silver needle look better, such as carving some patterns or something."
Hope looked at Professor McGonagall in confusion. Although he didn't know what the purpose was, it was not difficult for him. He waved the wand again, and the slender silver needle became hollow and engraved with the Hufflepuff House pattern. Easily.
Professor McGonagall picked up the silver needle and observed it carefully. Under the sun, the hollow silver needle was particularly beautiful. Professor McGonagall became more interested and decided to increase the difficulty again.
The surrounding students were also attracted by the anomaly here, and they all put down their wands and started to watch.
Professor McGonagall said: "It's a beautiful transformation spell. I wonder if I can turn it into a cup. If possible, please make the cup as big and as beautiful as possible."
Hope nodded, mentally imagining what the cup looked like, and waved the wand again. This time he felt a little pressure. The greater the difference between the objects before and after the deformation, the more difficult it would be to deform. Cups and matches are not of the same size. Not to mention the appearance, with Hope's efforts, a palm-sized golden tea cup appeared on the table, with the Hogwarts school emblem engraved on the cup.
Looking at the teacup on the table, Professor McGonagall clapped. Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the classroom suddenly burst into warm applause.
"Excellent transformation, ten points for Hufflepuff!"
After the applause ended, Professor McGonagall paused and said, "There is a challenge. I wonder if Mr. Lloyd would like to challenge it. If the challenge succeeds, I can exempt you from your first-year homework."
No homework again? Of course Hope accepts this good thing, he still has a lot to learn.
Hope said firmly: "I accept."
Professor McGonagall looked at Hope with admiration and said, "Mr. Lloyd, please 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" he has been reading these past few days.
He hasn't tried it yet, but it's a good challenge. Hope took a deep breath, waved her wand, and the match began to change into the shape of Ladybug.
Professor McGonagall was observing from the side, and it must have failed.
Hope also felt that he was going to fail. Suddenly, the knowledge of transfiguration in Hope's mind suddenly became much clearer, and he was naturally favored for help.
In an instant, a ladybug appeared on the table, but compared to a real ladybug, this one's movements were much stiffer. This time, Professor McGonagall was completely shocked. She has such a high talent for transformation. This challenge was originally proposed by her because she found it interesting. She never thought that Hope would succeed.
The purpose is to make Hope not to be proud. There is still a long way to go, and she must study hard in the future. Even if Hope fails, she will not be exempted from homework for this grade, but she can still be exempted until Christmas.
Now that Hope has done it, of course she will do what she says, but she wants to open a small back door for Hope. It's hard to say the class time for this back door. Let's talk about it after class.
After once again adding ten points to Hufflepuff, Hope began to work as a little assistant, working with Professor McGonagall to help the little wizards who had not mastered it.
With his unusual magic perception, Hope easily pointed out the deficiencies in the little wizard's spellcasting, which was well received by everyone. Everyone called him Professor Hope with a smile.
Hope was not famous in the last spells class, but this time Hope was really famous.
After class, Professor McGonagall kept Hope behind and said, "You have been reading the second-grade study content recently, right?"
Hope nodded and said, "Yes, Professor, I was watching "Intermediate Transfiguration" recently."
"Very well. Turning a match into a ladybug was originally part of your second grade program, and the second grade students didn't use matches but coins that were about the same size as a ladybug. Even so, there are still many people who are not as good as you."
"This is the first class of school. It's hard to imagine what the future achievements will be."
Professor McGonagall thought for a while and said, "Would you like to come to the second grade to audit? Although there will be conflicts in some classes, with your talent, you can make up for these classes by yourself. If you encounter something you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
yie? Is this a good thing?
