The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 153 Discussion of Transfiguration

Excluding the unhappiness of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Divination classes, Ada spent the first three days of school very leisurely. She and the twins even found time to visit the right corridor on the fourth floor.

This corridor is relatively hidden, and no one usually comes here.But since Dumbledore announced that this place has become a restricted area, it has become lively here, and several groups of people have come here to visit.

However, none of these people dared to go in and have a look, they just took a look from afar.This place has become a restricted area, no one can tell what kind of danger is hidden inside, everyone is just a little curious, not to the point of trying it out.

Fred and George planned to go to reconnaissance at night to find out the situation and prepare for the exploration into the corridor later.

As for why Ada didn't go together, it was because she was going to see Professor McGonagall, and she had received this confinement invitation before the start-of-term dinner.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ada showed up in Professor McGonagall's office on time, but there are no transfiguration papers for her to read today. Professor McGonagall plans to conduct an assessment on Ida to see if her transfiguration has arrived to what extent.

In the office on the second floor, Ada began to deform the object according to Professor McGonagall's request.In the beginning, inanimate objects were used, and the deformation method was relatively simple, and then living objects were used for deformation.

With the transformation again and again, Professor McGonagall also understood Ada's level, and given her two or three years of growth time, she was fully qualified for the position of a transformation teacher.

Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Charms are the three subjects that Ida is best at, and they are also the most important of Ada's usual practice. It is not surprising that Professor McGonagall has such a high evaluation.

It’s just that with the deepening of understanding of Transfiguration, Ada has a question about the application of Transfiguration, that is, in actual combat, in addition to transforming some auxiliary animals, can Transfiguration directly affect people and change themselves , to make changes to the enemy.

"Professor, if I transform a person into a pile of bones or other dead objects, and don't release the transformation, is this considered a murderous act?" Ada raised her doubts to Professor McGonagall.

"When did you have such a dangerous idea?" Professor McGonagall looked at Ada worriedly, thinking in his heart: Sure enough, Mrs. Mary's death and that battle still had such a great negative impact on her.

Ada didn't notice Professor McGonagall's worries. All she thought about now was academic matters, and she never thought about applying them to actual combat.She said: "I thought about it a long time ago, for fear of being turned into an animal by others."

There are two ways for a wizard to transform into an animal. One is to be turned into an animal by humans, but this method will completely turn the wizard into an animal, losing its own magic power and also losing the human way of thinking, allowing it to be slaughtered.

The other is Animagus like Professor McGonagall. The wizard actively turns into an animal through magic, retaining the magic power while retaining the human way of thinking.

This is the biggest difference between the two approaches and why the latter is so difficult to do.There are only seven Animagus registered in the twentieth century, and one of them is Professor McGonagall in front of me. Ada once fed her dried fish without knowing his life.

"Transfiguration can indeed turn people into animals, or objects such as tables and chairs, but there are very few people who can complete this kind of magic. Moreover, Transfiguration is reversible. As long as the anti-spell is released in time, it will not endanger life. Yes." Professor McGonagall explained, "That's why the Killing Curse is called the Unforgivable Curse, because it has no counter-curse."

"There are many examples of integrating Transfiguration into actual combat, but it is mostly used as an aid, similar to what you did before." Professor McGonagall continued, "Wizards are not animals that cannot resist, it is difficult for you to use Transfiguration Act directly on the wizard. This requires you to have magic power far superior to the opponent, and at the same time have a deep understanding of transfiguration."

"That's good, I don't have to be afraid anymore." Ada patted her chest that had just taken shape.

Ada has always had this kind of worry in her heart, afraid of being transformed into a small animal or a table, chair and bench.Especially after reading a paper, her worry rose to the highest point. This paper is called "On whether the disappearing spell can work on the human body".

The Vanishing Spell is a transfiguration technique that can make animate or inanimate objects disappear. It is the content involved in Transfiguration in the fifth grade, and it is also the most difficult spell in the OWLs exam.

Ada has also practiced the disappearing spell, and she can use this spell to make small animals disappear successfully.Theoretically, there is a possibility that the Vanishing Curse can be used on people. Once it is successfully cast on people, what is the difference between it and killing people?
"It turns out that you were also afraid. The next time you make me angry, I will use transfiguration on you." Professor McGonagall said, her tone of speech was very serious, as if she was really thinking about turning Ada, who made a mistake, into a What animal is good.

"Uh...professor, the school rules stipulate that students are not allowed to perform transfiguration." In order to exploit the loopholes in the school rules, Ada is very familiar with the school rules.

"It's true that the school rules are like this, but let me ask you, which college are you from?" Professor McGonagall changed the subject and asked a question that everyone knew the answer to.

Ada didn't want to understand why Professor McGonagall asked such a question suddenly, and she replied: "Gryffindor! Professor Flitwick is still complaining."

"Then who is your dean?" Professor McGonagall raised the teacup in her hand, and the dense mist made her look a little unfathomable.

"Do you need to answer this? Who doesn't know that the dean of Gryffindor is..." At this moment, Ida realized that talking about school rules with Professor McGonagall was talking about school rules with an old Gryffindor. In Findo's dictionary, school rules are meant to be broken.

Professor McGonagall has used transfiguration to scare students many times, but she has never used this method of punishment to physically punish students, and she is even more reluctant to use it on Ada.

After making a joke, Professor McGonagall returned to the topic, and she continued: "Because of all kinds of complicated theories and the constraints of laws, Transfiguration can be said to be the most difficult type of magic, so we will start from the superficial. Learn in depth."

Ada’s first transfiguration class used matchsticks as the experimental material. With the deepening of learning, the current transfiguration class began to use more insects or mice, and maybe some larger animals will be used in the future.

"What about transforming yourself?" Ada continued to ask, "It's not the transformation method of Animagus, but a transformation that is more conducive to actual combat."

Professor McGonagall thought for a while before answering this question. She said: "Transfiguration cannot produce magical animals, so it cannot improve combat effectiveness. But in some special cases, you can try to perform partial transformation, such as in order to shallow into the black lake, You can turn your feet into webs."

In the magic world, there is indeed a way to increase strength through deformation, but that is the category of black magic. It is a crazy attempt, and it is also more dangerous.

"It's getting late, let's go here first for the discussion on transfiguration, and it won't be clear in one night." Professor McGonagall continued, "By the way, how is your divination class?"

"It's terrible, it's too bad to describe. In Professor Trelawney's words, my third eye is blurred and blinded." Ada laughed at herself.

"I don't intend to speak ill of my colleagues. Sybil is not qualified for the position of a teacher, and I have always opposed the establishment of this subject." Professor McGonagall hates divination classes, and she hates this imprecise subject.

"The most regretful thing I did this year was to choose the divination class." Ada complained to Professor McGonagall, "Can I withdraw this class?"

Professor McGonagall took out a roll of parchment from the drawer, and she said, "Of course, you only need to have two elective courses. Also, here's something for you."

"What is this? An application form for withdrawing from class?" Ada took the roll of parchment with both hands, and the writing on it was a slender, circled font.This is not Professor McGonagall's handwriting. After reading so many of her notes, Ada can tell her handwriting at a glance.

"Professor Dumbledore asked me to pass it on to you. He knew that you wanted to practice silent spells." Professor McGonagall explained, "The above are some of his experience and experience in silent spellcasting, which can help you better. Good practice."
