Chapter 4080 4082 [Lucius Malfoy]

After the Transfiguration class, Xiang Nan asked Professor McGonagall which reference books he should read if he wanted to further improve his Transfiguration skills.

Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with Xiang Nan's diligence and eagerness to learn, and replied with a smile, "If you are interested in Transfiguration, you can borrow "Analysis of Transfiguration Principles", "The Secret of Element Conversion" and "The Evolution of Ancient Transfiguration".

If you have a deeper pocket, you can also subscribe to the journal Transfiguration Today, which contains the latest academic papers on Transfiguration. Of course, I also have some old issues in my office. If you are interested, you can borrow them from me.

"Thank you, professor. Thank you very much." Xiang Nan nodded.

He was indeed very interested in Transfiguration because it was a very practical magic.

Except that it cannot produce food, real life, magic props, unknown objects, or create something out of nothing, it can produce almost anything you want.

For example, it can turn a table into a pig, a beetle into a button, an owl into a cup, and a teapot into a turtle.

In "The Philosopher's Stone", Professor McGonagall cast Transfiguration on the statues so that they could protect the Philosopher's Stone; when Dumbledore and Voldemort fought in the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore also used Transfiguration to the extreme, resurrecting the statues to fight for him many times...

In addition, Transfiguration can also transform oneself, changing one's appearance and clothing. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are proficient in human body Transfiguration and need to change their appearance frequently during work.

Moreover, Transfiguration is the foundation of Animagus training. One must study Transfiguration to a certain level before being able to train Animagus.

All in all, Transfiguration is indeed the most complex, dangerous and most potential spell, just as Professor McGonagall said.

……

Xiang Nan then went to the library and returned the "Dictionary of Magic Runes" he had borrowed yesterday. He then borrowed some books on transfiguration and began to read them carefully.

Watch until noon.

"My God, you read a very thick book yesterday, and you read such a large number of books today." Gregory said in surprise at this time.

He was reading a big book yesterday, and he is reading a pile of books today. Such a studious attitude is really amazing.

"Hey, why are you here?" Xiang Nan looked up and saw Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others there, and couldn't help feeling confused.

"We were worried that you were so absorbed in reading that you forgot to eat, so we came to you to eat." Joey explained, "Come on, eat first and then read. Otherwise, your body will collapse sooner or later."

"Okay, thank you." After hearing what they said, Xiang Nan had no choice but to smile and nodded.

In fact, he could choose not to eat, but he couldn't refuse this kindness.

……

Xiang Nan had just sat down in the restaurant when he heard a gloomy voice saying, "Are you the first-year student in Ravenclaw?"

Xiang Nan looked up and saw a handsome, arrogant boy with blond hair standing in front of him. He was wearing the green robes unique to Slytherin College, with a silver badge with the letter P on it.

Xiang Nan immediately recognized him as Lucius Malfoy, the seventh-year Slytherin class leader and Draco Malfoy's father.

"Yes, it's me. What do you want from me?" Xiang Nan asked.

"I heard that you know a lot about magic. Why don't you compete with us and have a wizard-to-wizard duel?" Lucius sneered and said, "Do you dare?"

"Lucius, what are you doing? This is a restaurant, not the Slytherin common room. Don't even think about bullying people from our college." At this time, Ravenclaw's prefect, Derek Ludwig, came over and said.

"Don't be nervous, we're just talking." Seeing Derek coming over, Lucius' arrogant attitude suddenly subsided a lot.

"It's okay, prefect." Xiang Nan also waved his hand and smiled, then looked at Lucius, "After dinner, I will go for a walk by the Black Lake."

Lucius nodded, then walked away triumphantly with his head held high. "Severus, don't be afraid of him, he's just a coward, he just likes to bully people because he has some money." Derek said to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan nodded.

……

"Why don't you tell the truth to the prefect? ​​He was clearly provoking me."

"He is so shameless. A seventh-year student actually challenged a first-year student to a wizard duel."

"The Malfoy family has a bad reputation to begin with. They always consider themselves pure-bloods and look down on children from half-blood and Muggle families."

Joey, Benjamin, and Gregory all complained.

Xiang Nan didn't say anything. He finished his meal quietly and then got up to go to Black Lake.

"Severus, you are not really going to the Black Lake?"

"Don't be so stupid, they might have set a trap for you."

"No matter how strong you are, you can't defeat a group of senior students."

The three of them tried to stop him again.

Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying that, he walked out of the restaurant, left Hogwarts Castle, came to the Black Lake on the west side of the castle, and then walked slowly along the lake.

"You really came." At this moment, Lucius Malfoy came forward with four people, "You are really brave enough to dare to come alone?"

"Do you want to bring a bunch of people with you to give me courage?" Xiang Nan pouted, "Stop talking nonsense, is it a one-on-one duel, or do you want to fight together?"

"Hahahaha, he wants us to attack together~" Lucius laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Let me tell you, brat, I can kill you by myself."

"Then come on." Xiang Nan looked at him disdainfully and said, "Why are you still talking so much?"

"Lucius, go ahead and show him how powerful you are!"

"Lucius, he's too arrogant. Teach him a lesson."

"Let him know how to respect his seniors~"

Several people around Lucius shouted. Amid their cheers, Lucius took out his wand and pointed it at Xiang Nan, "You little brat, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"Come on, don't just talk without taking action." Xiang Nan sneered.

"All Stone~" Lucius shouted immediately.

"Disarm you!" Before he could finish his shout, Xiang Nan immediately used a disarming spell. A dazzling red light flashed, and the wand in Lucius's hand flew up and was steadily caught in Xiang Nan's hand.

The four companions beside him took out their magic wands and pointed them at Xiang Nan, shouting out spells loudly, "All petrified~", "Grinning~", "Fainting~", "Huge obstacles~"

Xiang Nan just waved his hand, and in an instant, the feet of the four people were hooked by an invisible hook, and they were all hung upside down in the air, unable to move.

Lucius was shocked when he saw this and turned around to run away.

Xiang Nan then waved his hand and cast a leg softening spell, causing Lucius' legs to soften and he fell to the ground with a thud. But he still didn't dare to stay, and ran away with his hands pawed forward.
