Chapter 582: Transformation, Magic Potion, and Requests

The History of Magic course was as boring as ever. Zhou Ming had tried his best to arouse his interest, but he still fell asleep in the second half of the course.

Fortunately, Professor Binns doesn’t care whether students sleep or not, and he doesn’t even care whether students come to class or not. He thinks, “I’m just talking, and whether you listen or not is your business.”

For Zhou Ming, the courses at Hogwarts were too simple. Both the Charms class and the History of Magic were elementary school level courses.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, the students in the class are teenagers in their teens, and they really cannot understand or accept courses that are too profound.

And don’t think that the courses at Hogwarts are really not difficult at all. In fact, the entire seven-year course covers a very wide range of content and scope.

Basically, all the courses from elementary school to high school and even college are integrated into the seven-year study of these students. What's more, these children have to try to write papers from the first grade. Although what everyone writes at the beginning is very naive, just from this point of view, Hogwarts is definitely far ahead.

In the next few days, Zhou Ming attended courses taught by other professors.

Professor McGonagall's class is very good, and Transfiguration is a course that Zhou Ming pays great attention to.

Because in Zhou Ming's opinion, Transfiguration is really magical. It definitely changes not only the appearance, but also changes directly from the material level under the effect of magic. For example, if a mouse is transformed into a cup, as long as the Transfiguration is still effective, the cup is genuine, whether it is wood or metal, it has indeed changed.

And when the magic power fades, these metal or wooden materials will turn into living things again, which is really outrageous.

However, this kind of technology can only be regarded as the most basic ability in the Harry Potter world, which is something that first-year students must master. But if it is placed in other worlds, it is definitely a power that only gods have.

So we really can't say that the power in the Harry Potter world is low-level. It may not be strong enough, but in some areas, the spells in the Harry Potter world have definitely touched the most basic logic of the world.

Zhou Ming was very serious in the Transfiguration class, even nine out of ten. His seriousness was almost the same as that in the Charms class.

It should also be pointed out that in Harry Potter's spell system, Transfiguration is actually quite important, because you can see its existence in almost any field, and the power of Transfiguration is extremely strong.

Let's not talk about Professor McGonagall, let's just talk about old Dumbledore. He used to be a professor of Transfiguration in his early years. If he used Transfiguration well, he would actually be much better at fighting than simply using spells.

As for Animagus, Zhou Ming was also looking forward to it greatly. It could almost be regarded as one of his favorite magics in the original work.

He cares a lot about the courses and listens to the lectures very seriously. In addition, Zhou Ming has strong abilities, so his performance in class can be said to be extremely outstanding.

The homework that Professor McGonagall gave them was to turn a beetle into buttons. Remos completed it almost immediately after starting. Not only that, he also easily turned the beetle into many kinds of buttons. He even controlled other tools he used in class to turn them into beetles of different sizes, and then turned them into a row of buttons at the same time.

The magic of transfiguration is played out in a fancy way.

As a result, he received great praise from Professor McGonagall in class and earned ten house points for Ravenclaw.

In Potions class, Zhou Ming met Professor Snape, the greasy-haired bat, again. However, as a Ravenclaw student, he could not get any special "treatment" from Professor Snape. Also, because he came to class with Hufflepuff, Professor Snape was just rather gloomy throughout the whole class, without any sarcasm or deliberate difficulties.

Anyway, I just give lectures and then assign tasks, and students just have to do them according to the tasks.

However, Zhou Ming made this class a little more difficult for himself. He tried to use a new spell that he had developed.

This spell is still very rudimentary and imperfect. Its function is to detect the specific properties of the drug, including but not limited to the drug's medicinal properties, toxicity, which ingredients are useful and which are useless, how to better stimulate the medicinal properties, and which other drugs will react with it, etc.

In short, this is a very complicated spell. At present, all Zhou Ming can do is to distinguish the medicinal properties and toxicity. The rest of the content requires him to judge it himself based on the knowledge in the book.

Of course, this spell has an advantage, that is, there is no need to wave a wand or recite an incantation. He only needs to take the medicine in his hand, and a light that is imperceptible to others will automatically rise in his eyes. At the same time, magic power will flow in his hands. With the combination of the two, he can analyze a single medicine in detail.

This spell can be said to be a combination of the vast amount of knowledge Zhou Ming had learned from various worlds before.

He is currently using the system of spells to integrate the more complex knowledge he has mastered.

The result was that he was the best performing student in that class. He completed the potions assigned by Professor Snape very smoothly, and his methods of handling two of the drugs were slightly different from those of other students, but overall he did not deviate too far from the textbook.

Snape saw all of this, and at the end of the class, he called Zhou Ming for the first time.

"You've made a lot of progress compared to first grade. What happened during the holidays?"

Snape still looked as cold as ever, but his tone was noticeably softer than before. However, the change was not so big that it was hard to notice if you didn't listen carefully.

"I reviewed the first-year textbooks again, and bought a lot of books related to potions in Diagon Alley, and studied a lot of knowledge seriously."

These are all true, Zhou Ming did exactly that, but he did not mention that he possessed knowledge from other worlds. Learning by analogy and broadening one's horizons are naturally very important for the improvement of alchemy.

He was not worried that Snape would notice that he was hiding some information, after all, Snape could not see through his thoughts.

What? You said Legilimency?

Just kidding. Not to mention that Snape would not use Legilimency on ordinary students casually, even if he did, he would not be able to see Zhou Ming's heart, even if he was a master of Legilimency. The two of them had a fundamental difference in life level, and Snape had no possibility of seeing through Zhou Ming's thoughts.

"I'm glad you're so serious. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly, including the method of handling drugs. Your method today is very interesting. You can continue to explore in this direction."

Snape nodded and said in a very indifferent tone, and then he drove Zhou Ming out of the office. But Zhou Ming didn't feel unhappy, on the contrary, he couldn't help but curled his lips.

Of course he knew very well what he was doing. In fact, he did it on purpose in order to attract Snape's attention, then find a way to get closer to him and learn more advanced potion knowledge from Snape.

The potions in the Harry Potter world are really magical. Let’s just talk about the Potions Felixir.

A potion that can force people to become lucky and has absolutely no side effects should not exist in this world.

This reminded Zhou Ming of his Tianjiantong, a pupil technique he had not used for a long time. The ability of this pupil technique was to make himself "lucky". Of course, this was a simple way of saying it. To put it more complicatedly, it meant that things could develop according to one's wishes, but one had to pay a price. It was a kind of illusion.

The reason why he rarely used this pupil technique later on was mainly because it was no longer of any use.

For a simple "wishes", he can fulfill them without the need of pupil skills; but for a complicated "wishes", pupil skills basically cannot be effective.

For example, if he made a wish for a smooth journey when leaving the world of the God of Death and heading to Azeroth, would he be able to avoid being disturbed by Sargeras? Impossible, because a strong man like Sargeras was obviously beyond the influence of the pupil technique.

As for beings weaker than Sargeras, the pupil technique can influence them, but the question is, is it necessary? If Zhou Ming had encountered other Titans, or beings one level lower than the Titans, the other party would not have been able to influence him at all.

So this pupil technique is awkward here. Is it useful? It is useful, but only in the early stage and only at low levels. For Zhou Ming now, Tianjiantong is useless.

But the elixir is different.

On the surface, the Lucky Spirit potion is a medicine that simply makes people lucky and makes their wishes come true.

In fact, it is a potion that can make people stronger in all aspects. This potion does not simply enhance strength, but greatly improves a person's social skills, magical abilities, reaction abilities, etc., allowing people to do things with twice the result with half the effort, giving people a feeling of having their dreams come true.

If Zhou Ming had drunk the Felixir at that time, if the probability of him encountering Sargeras was 50-50, and he might meet him or not, the Felixir would make the probability become 40-60 or even 30-70. For example, he could sense the existence of Sargeras in advance, or he could take a detour to avoid Sargeras in advance.

Of course he may still encounter Sargeras, but the probability will be much smaller.

So, apart from anything else, just to make the Felicity Potion, he had to study Potions well.

As for Professor Snape, as a "prophet" who is familiar with the plot, Zhou Ming certainly knows that Snape is actually an extremely cold-hearted person.

On the surface, he hated Harry, but in fact he desperately wanted to protect Harry. Of course, this had nothing to do with Harry as a person. What Snape wanted to protect was "Lily's child" because the child was an extension of the parents' bloodline. James Potter was of course Snape's mortal enemy, and Snape would only applaud if he died a thousand times.

But the other half of Harry's blood comes from Lily, and it is precisely that half that Snape wants to protect.

So Snape is not a bad person. Maybe he was about to make a mistake, but he corrected it later and it’s still a good thing.

Anyway, I came here this time to save the world, so as to save Snape's life, I will do it myself. It's that simple.

After a few days at school, Zhou Ming attended all the classes and gradually became familiar with Hogwarts.

He also took the time to go on a pilgrimage to several famous locations in the original novel, the most important of which was naturally the Room of Requests.

This is a very magical house, also known as the "Coming and Going Room". It sometimes appears and sometimes disappears, and one can only enter it when he really needs it. It is the place where many important events in the Harry Potter world took place.

This room was located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, opposite the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas with a stick. Zhou Ming thought that he needed a place to store his things, and after walking past that section of the wall three times, a very smooth door appeared on the wall.

When I opened the door, I saw the huge messy room inside. A large amount of useless garbage was stored here, piled up into dozens of garbage mountains.

In these mountains of garbage, Zhou Ming found the Ravenclaw Diadem, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Ravenclaw's diadem, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's gold cup, and Gryffindor's sword are the four treasures left behind by the four founders.

Except for the sword of Gryffindor, which was incompatible with Voldemort and had always been in the control of Dumbledore, the other three relics were all made into Horcruxes by Voldemort.

Among them, Slytherin's pendant box is placed in the old house of the Black family, and Hufflepuff's gold cup is stored in the underground vault of Gringotts. Currently, only Ravenclaw's crown is the easiest for Zhou Ming to access.

This crown is said to have the effect of making people smarter. It was once stolen by Ravenclaw's daughter Helena when she was still alive. Later, Helena was accidentally killed by the Bloody Barrow, who committed suicide out of guilt. A few days later, Ravenclaw also died of illness, and as a result, the crown disappeared completely.

When Voldemort was still Tom, he asked Helena, who had turned into a ghost, for the location of the crown, and retrieved it from the forest of Albania. He eventually made it into a Horcrux and stored it in the Room of Requirement.

The outcome of this Horcrux was not very good either. It was destroyed by Crabbe's Fiendfyre Curse. It was really a waste.

In fact, it is not impossible to purify the Horcrux, as long as the residual soul inside is eliminated. Zhou Ming does not plan to touch the diary for the time being, so he took the time to find the crown.

The search process was not complicated, just look for it bit by bit. The main reason was that Zhou Ming could no longer remember the contents of the original book and could not locate it accurately.

But it was not a big problem. After all, there was no limit to the area where wishes could be granted, and the crown was not hidden in some corner. It only took him two days of spare time to find the crown.

After finding the crown, he immediately put it in a wooden box, and then found Cynthia, intending to ask her to study Voldemort's Horcrux together.
