Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 10 The So-called Law of Deformation

In just one class, the little eagles and little snakes basically ranked the status of Defense Against the Dark Arts with the history of magic.The history of magic can also be regarded as a sleeping class by young wizards. Apart from listening to Quirrell's boring textbooks, Defense Against the Dark Arts has to endure waves of strange smells that keep coming.

Very poor classroom experience!

Terry and Stuart made fun of Ike as they walked towards the Charms classroom.

"I have long heard that the professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course are generally unreliable, who would have thought that this would be the case!" Terry complained while rubbing his nose, "Fortunately, Professor Quirrell was once a Ravenclaw student. Excellent graduate, what a disgrace!"

"Why did Dumbledore let such a person be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Ike smiled perfunctorily. He was not in the mood to explain to the two the unofficial history of wizards such as the indissoluble bond between the Dark Lord and Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he would not say it at all.

The less you know, the happier you are, and the happy time of the little wizards is only this year.

The charm class is on the other side of the fourth floor of the castle, with the little lions.

Professor Flitwick stood on a high step stool, calling the little wizards, especially the little lions, to sit down quickly.

"I'm Filius Flitwick, you can call me Professor Flitwick, and I'm your Charms professor."

"Today we are going to learn the Illumination Charm, and the spell is fluorescent flashes."

"This is one of the most commonly used spells by wizards. There are no complicated wand movements, just wave the wand and say the spell, and it will easily succeed."

"Of course, you have to maintain firm confidence. The release of the spell cannot be separated from this. If you hesitate, the spell will fail."

Professor Flitwick explained the points to pay attention to when chanting a spell, and let the little wizards try it themselves.

Soon, a little witch with a fluffy hair in Gryffindor succeeded, and a soft white light emerged from the tip of the wand, causing a burst of cheers.

"Excellent! Perfect lighting spell, Miss Granger!" Flitwick was delighted. "Five points to Gryffindor!"

Hermione raised her proud little head when she heard the praise, like a proud lion cub.

Seeing this, Terry couldn't help curling his lips, and poked Ike who was motionless.

"Ike, what are you waiting for? This is our own dean, show off quickly."

Stuart was also booing. Although he only lived in a dormitory for two days, he also saw Ike's magic.

To be able to use the Levitation Charm to that extent, the simpler Illumination Charm is definitely not bad.

Ike rolled his eyes angrily: "You guys are waving your wands too much, just a little bit, just like Miss Granger."

"Damn it!" Stuart didn't give Ike a chance to change the subject, "Bonus points! Bonus points!"

"Ok."

Ike was defeated by the eyes of the two, and he didn't move his right hand holding the wand. He stretched out his left hand, like twisting a light bulb in the air, and a soft white light simply stayed on Ike's fingertips .

"My God!"

"Unbelievable!"

Every move in the classroom could not escape Professor Flitwick's perception, so he naturally noticed this scene.

"No first-year wizard has ever done that! Mr. Strider, Ravenclaw adds ten points!"

"Casting spells silently! Casting spells without a weapon! Unbelievable!"

"Mr. Strider, can you tell me how you did it?"

Ike stood up and bowed slightly: "I practiced for a long time during the vacation, Professor Flitwick."

"Unbelievable!" Professor Flitwick still did not calm down, "I don't think anyone can do better than you in terms of the Illuminating Charm."

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." Ike smiled and sat down.

In the next second, the skill is activated!
Snape's gaze!

Targets: Stewart, Terry!
Both of them shivered in unison, and turned their heads to concentrate on casting the lighting spell.

Soon, the little wizards all successfully used the lighting spell, but some were brighter and some were darker. The three magical numbers "857" appeared in Ike's mind inexplicably.

Add in Ike's shiny light bulb, and it's even more like that.

After class, Stewart and Terry kept talking softly on the way to the auditorium. In the face of trivial benefits such as free daily wake-up calls and unconditional help with things, Ike of course chose to forgive the two.

In the afternoon, Ravenclaw had only one Transfiguration class taught by Professor McGonagall, which Ike had been looking forward to for a long time.

Compared to other spells, Ike's Transfiguration is not that good.Even if he is familiar with Gamp's basic transformation rules, the transformation technique used by Ike still has obvious flaws.

Even if the matches are turned into needles, the silver-white needles also have some wood patterns.

Although the needle is sharp, it is still not perfect.

This also caused Ike's useless notebook system to never have a Transfiguration level.

The Transfiguration classroom was on the first floor of the castle. The Ravenclaw students arrived in the classroom very politely, but they never saw Professor McGonagall. There was only a tabby cat sitting on the podium.

Ike naturally knew that this was Professor McGonagall's Animagus. There were obvious glasses-like patterns around the cat's eyes.

As I remembered, Harry and Ron were late because they overslept at noon. In Ron's horrified eyes, the tabby cat jumped off the podium, and when it landed, it was Professor McGonagall with a serious face.

"I think you have to learn the importance of punctuality, or I'll turn you into an alarm clock." Professor McGonagall told the two of them to sit down quickly, "Transfiguration is the most complicated thing you can learn at Hogwarts. The most dangerous magic."

"Anyone who makes trouble in my class, I will ask him out and never let him in again." As he spoke, he glanced at Harry and Ron as if inadvertently, causing them to shrink their necks unconsciously .

Professor McGonagall waved his wand and turned the podium into a majestic lion. As the lion walked, the hair on his body fluttered, as if using Rejoice.

With another wave of the wand, the lion transforms back into the podium.Ike stared at this scene closely, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything.

"The use of Transfiguration requires strict compliance with Gamp's basic transfiguration rules. This is summed up by countless wizards with bloody lessons. I hope you will keep it in mind."

Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and Gamp's basic deformation rules appeared one after another on the blackboard behind him.

"First, food. Remember, never, never, ever use Transfiguration to turn something else into food, and never, never, ever eat food that has been transformed by Transfiguration. Transfiguration cannot change the nature of an object, Turn a rock into food, and it's still essentially a rock, and it won't fill you up."

"Second, you can't turn a living thing into a magical creature. Human body transformation is the most dangerous and complicated part of Transfiguration. The longer you stay in the transformed state, the stronger the influence on the wizard. If it is serious, it will permanently carry the animal's death." Characteristics or habits, this is irreversible! And because magical creatures themselves have magical power, even turning into magical creatures will cause very serious consequences. From ancient times to the present, many magical creatures are actually produced by wizards who abuse transfiguration. Would love to witness the birth of a new magical creature!"

"Third, you can't transform out of thin air. Shapeshifting must be applied to specific objects. If you cast shapeshifting out of thin air, you should be lucky that it will fail in most cases. And once it succeeds, you will die tragically immediately! "

"Fourth, Transfiguration cannot be used on magical items. Transfiguration cannot be used on magical items. Automatic quills, temperature-changing crucibles, memory balls, and even gold Galleons cannot be changed by Transfiguration. Please don't Try it, or it will cause very serious consequences!"

Professor McGonagall paused, and then became a little more serious: "Finally, never, never, never, never deform what you imagine!"

"About this, you just need to remember, and never try! You will never know what you imagined will become under the influence of magic power!"

Ike wrote down Gamp's basic transformation rules in turn in his notebook. Although there are relevant contents in the "Basic Transformation Guide", it is far less detailed than Professor McGonagall's.

After all, textbooks are textbooks, and they still need to be explained by professors.

Seeing that the students had almost remembered, Professor McGonagall distributed a match to each of them: "In this lesson, we will learn how to turn a match into a needle. This is the most basic transfiguration technique..."

After explaining in detail what needs to be paid attention to during the transformation process, and writing it on the blackboard behind him, Professor McGonagall let the little wizards start trying.

After Professor McGonagall's explanation, Ike has a better understanding of Transfiguration.Transfiguration is much more rigorous than other enchantments, and relies more on determination in the 3D principles.After all, it is to transform one object into another object. If you don't believe it and your heart is not firm, incomplete deformation will occur.

Such as a wine glass with a mouse tail, a needle that can be ignited, and a beetle button that crawls around.

Young wizards are generally jumping off, and their minds are not firm, so the Transfiguration will naturally not succeed.For a while, the wand danced wildly, and the sound of "speedy transformation" came and went.

Professor McGonagall walked back and forth among the little wizards, constantly pointing out the mistakes in the process of transfiguration, but there was still no progress.

Walking to Ike's side, seeing that Ike was still staring straight at the match without moving his wand, he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Strayed, why don't you try?"

Ike smiled as warmly as Professor McGonagall remembered, and waved his wand.

"Transform quickly!"

I saw the match on the table, and with the wave of Ike's wand, it quickly turned into the shape of a needle, and there was only a wooden pattern left on it.

"Very good! Mr. Strider!" Professor McGonagall looked very happy, "Ravenclaw plus ten!"

"Did you practice on your own during the holidays?"

Ike nodded, showing a sad expression again: "Yes, Professor McGonagall. But this is still not a needle." As he spoke, he changed the needle to the way it was before the class.

"After listening to your explanation, I can only do this to this extent. I can't get rid of these streaks no matter what."

Professor McGonagall patted Ike on the shoulder: "This has been successful. If you want to be perfect, you can only practice continuously. Maybe you will be able to conjure a perfect needle when the get out of class is over."

"Of course, you don't have to use too much force. Sometimes it's better to be calm, maybe?"

Hearing this, Ike suddenly understood.

Yes, the 3D principle is a solid triangle, any overweight will affect the success of the spell.

"Transform quickly!"

This time, the surface of the needle was extremely smooth, and there were no more lines.
