Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 130
Following Professor McGonagall towards the office, probably because of his personality, Professor McGonagall did not talk to Mike along the way.And Mike was too embarrassed to speak when she didn't take the initiative to speak, so the two walked on in silence.

Bored, Mike had to focus on the back of Professor McGonagall. After careful observation, he really found something. Professor McGonagall's walking posture is very characteristic.

Every step she takes is relatively large and very powerful, and almost every step will make the skirt of the long skirt fly up. It can be said that it is the female version of the dragon and the tiger.

It stands to reason that a woman walking in this posture would be very unattractive, but Professor McGonagall is not the case.Mike didn't know how to describe her aura, but the moment he saw Professor McGonagall, the words "strong woman" would automatically appear in Mike's mind.

I don't know how long it took, but the two finally came to Professor McGonagall's office.

"Please sit down, Mike." Professor McGonagall opened the desk chair and sat down, then took out a thick stack of documents from a book basket in the corner of the desk and began to review, "Sorry, you don't mind if I Can I talk to you while working?"

Mike shook his head vigorously, indicating that he didn't care.At the same time, looking at the stack of 5 cm thick documents in McGonagall's hand and the documents several times the thickness in the book basket, he thought to himself, it seems that most of the administrative work at Hogwarts may be done by Professor McGonagall. The vice-headmaster handles it, and Dumbledore is probably a hands-off shopkeeper in this regard.

"Then can you ask me a question? I'm very busy here."

"Well, Professor McGonagall, I just want to ask what kind of spell Transfiguration is." Mike also raised his face when he heard this, "I mean, I saw Principal Dumbledore use Transfiguration while waving his hand. Solved the basilisk, and in the wizard duel between me and Cedric two days ago, Cedric also used a similar technique to almost completely disable my attack.

I have no doubt that Headmaster Dumbledore could do that, but Cedric, he's only a student, how on earth did he do it? "

Professor McGonagall stopped the pen in her hand when she heard McGonagall talk about wizard duels, obviously dissatisfied with the dueling club that Lockhart set up, but she still answered Mike's question.

"First of all, I have to warn you, Mr. Townley. Don't try those transformations that may be dangerous. I know that Dumbledore and Cedric may rekindle your interest in Transfiguration, but I still want to remind You, the most important thing about Transfiguration is caution." Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "Maybe the tragic stories I told you about Kappa and Banshee are too far away from you. As for your inability to understand its seriousness.

Then I will tell you a simple example.You must know the five basic methods of Gamp Transfiguration.

1. The food conjured by Transfiguration cannot be eaten.

2. Transfiguration cannot work on magic items.

3. Transfiguration cannot be created from nothing.

4. Transfiguration cannot change the quantity of original items, such as turning a stick into two swords.

5. Transfiguration cannot give permanent life to dead objects, like the butterfly we just transformed, it will change back to its original shape as soon as the residual magic power on it is exhausted.

These five basic laws have guided countless wizards on the path of Transfiguration for thousands of years, but do you know how they were discovered?
It was all piled up with human lives!

Like the first one, an unknown wizard tried to turn a stake into bread and ate it, and he bled to death that night.

After his death, because he suspected that he was poisoned, his friend dissected him, and found that all the blood vessels in his body were full of wooden thorns.

So, everyone knew that he died from his own transfiguration. "

After Professor McGonagall saw the look of fear she wanted to see on Mike's face, he nodded in satisfaction, took a sip from the water glass next to him, and continued:

"As for the question you asked, I can tell you very clearly. In order to practice transformation to the level that Dumbledore and the others can change freely, in addition to extremely strong magic power and spiritual power, you also need to have a good understanding of transformation. Have an extremely deep understanding.

The first two are not difficult, but the last one is difficult.

Transfiguration is the most complicated subject. To go further in this subject, in addition to amazing talent, it also requires effort beyond ordinary people and accumulation of time. Otherwise, there will be too many powerful wizards in this world. Now, why are there so few transfiguration masters?

As for Cedric's Transfiguration, I've also heard about it, and it's not like he's in control at all.The kind of transfiguration he can do like Dumbledore is entirely dependent on his family secrets.

That kind of secret technique can allow learners to have amazing transformation ability in an instant, but the learning conditions are very harsh. As far as I know, Cedric has been learned by the Diggory family for hundreds of years.

Moreover, the Transfiguration technique trained with that kind of secret technique is simply a defective product, with only its shape but no spirit, which is far inferior to the real Transfiguration master.

To be honest, I still feel sorry for Cedric. Originally, with his talent, it is still possible to become a master of transfiguration, but because of this secret technique, I guess he will never reach that height. .

In my opinion, his father's asking him to learn that secret technique is completely counterproductive. "

After listening to Professor McGonagall's explanation, McMaughey suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was also thankful that he had rashly tried to improve Transfiguration.

But when he heard the last few words of Professor McGonagall, he was very speechless.

Is the secret technique Cedric learned really as weak as Professor McGonagall said?

Please, I'm so strong that I'm going to explode!
Mike is sure that even if Cedric fights an elite Auror one-on-one right now, he will be able to consume the opponent to death with his superb Transfiguration.

Although he didn't agree with Professor McGonagall's last words in his heart, Mike kept a grateful expression on his face.After talking a lot of flattery about Professor McGonagall's profound knowledge, Professor McGonagall's selfless explanation of students' doubts, and so on, Mike finally left the office under the gaze of Professor McGonagall's increasingly impatient eyes.

Just after leaving the office, Mike's face sank.

Although what Professor McGonagall just said made McMaughey suddenly realize, it didn't help in defeating Cedric at all, and even completely annihilated Mike's last thoughts of wanting to fight poison with fire.

Looking at a stone monster statue outside the office door, Mike seemed to have thought of something, his eyes brightened a little, and he murmured at the same time.

"Perhaps, this is the only way..."
