The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Our first class this morning is Transfiguration," Hermione said, turning to Hugo after taking a large gulp of milk-soaked cereal.

"I heard from a senior that Professor McGonagall is a very strict professor, I hope her course won't be too difficult."

"At least the first-year courses shouldn't be too hard," Hugo said after thinking for a moment.

"Because even those students from wizarding families have never learned any magic before entering school, learning magic is a fresh start for everyone.

So, it definitely won't be too difficult at the beginning."

"You have a point," Hermione nodded, then quietly ate her breakfast.

After finishing their meal, they followed at least thirteen first-year Ravenclaw students, carrying their books, to an empty classroom near the Transfiguration classroom.

Next was study time for the Ravenclaws.

Everyone took out the textbooks for the subjects they had that day and started studying.

The entire classroom was quiet, and aside from the occasional cough, you could hear a pin drop.

It has to be said that, compared to the Gryffindors who basically couldn't sit still, the Ravenclaws, who liked to quietly stay in one place and read, were the complete opposite.

No wonder Hermione seemed so out of place with the others in her house in the original story.

So, Hermione coming to Ravenclaw is also a very good choice.

After the previous Transfiguration class ended, the first-year students who were studying in the classroom gradually packed up their things and walked towards the Transfiguration classroom next door.

However, because Hermione hadn't finished reading a knowledge point, when Hugo and the others walked into the classroom, there were only four or five minutes left before class started.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," Hermione apologized to Veneto and Hugo as she walked into the classroom.

By this time, most of the students in the classroom had already arrived, but some were talking and laughing, and some were reading.

No one paid attention to the tabby cat sitting motionless on the podium.

After seeing the cat, Hugo walked to the side of the podium, bowed to the cat, and then pulled Hermione towards an empty seat, while Veneto walked to another empty seat and sat down.

"What were you doing just now?" Hermione asked Hugo curiously after sitting down.

"Why did you bow to that cat? Could it be that cat—"

After saying this, Hermione, who was very smart, also realized that something might be wrong.

So, she immediately closed her mouth and thought silently.

Soon, she turned her head and looked at Hugo, asking, "When I was reading the Transfiguration textbook before, I found that the textbook said that wizards have a type of transformation called Animagus that allows them to turn into animals, could it be that that cat—"

"You're right," Hugo nodded, then explained.

"If I'm not mistaken, this cat should be Professor McGonagall.

When I was reading yesterday, I saw in the book that there were only seven registered legal Animagi in the entire 20th century, and our Professor McGonagall is one of them.

If you pay attention, you can see that the pattern on the face of this tabby cat is the same as the glasses she wears."

After learning that this cat was Professor McGonagall, Hermione shook her head somewhat懊恼, then opened her textbook and seriously began reading the things she would be learning in a while.

She believed that Professor McGonagall turning into a cat and standing on the podium was actually a test for the students, and she had failed this test just now.

So, she made up her mind that she absolutely couldn't mess up again after class started.

The students who took Transfiguration class with the Ravenclaws were the Hufflepuffs, and most of the badgers were well-behaved, unlike some houses that liked to cause trouble.

So, this led to the fact that although there was some noise in the classroom during the time before the class bell rang, it was generally relatively orderly.

As soon as the class bell rang, the tabby cat on the podium jumped off the desk, and at the same time as it jumped down, it transformed into a tall, serious-looking woman.

"Mr. Granger, I am very pleased to see that you recognized my identity.

For your excellent observation skills and careful preview before class, I will add five points to Ravenclaw," Professor McGonagall said, nodding in Hugo's direction.

As a serious and conscientious professor, Professor McGonagall appreciated hard-working students like Hugo.

However, after praising Hugo, Professor McGonagall returned to her previous seriousness.

She turned around and walked onto the podium, then lowered her head and said to all the students in the classroom: "Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell in your Hogwarts courses."

She said, "Anyone who is mischievous in my class, I will ask them to leave and never allow them to come back in.

I have warned you."

Then, she turned her desk into a pig, and then turned it back.

The students were all attracted and couldn't wait to start learning, but they soon realized that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals.

After they took down a lot of complex and difficult notes, she gave each of them a match and started to let them try to turn it into a needle.

Professor McGonagall is indeed a wizard with great achievements in Transfiguration.

Not to mention that she can complete Animagus, the most top-notch magic in Transfiguration, just turning a table into a pig is already very impressive.

You need to know that pigs have the highest insulation to magic, and turning things into pigs is definitely the most difficult type of animal transformation.

After marveling at Professor McGonagall's magic level, Hugo began to try to turn the match in front of him into a needle.

With the buff of the Supervisor Network Soul Link, he completed this transformation before his sister, a pure-blood Ravenclaw student.

"Very good, Mr. Granger," Professor McGonagall said, picking up the needle and looking at it.

The needle accurately produced a sharp needle tip and a hole in the tail of the needle, which can be considered very good for a beginner.

"As the first student to complete the transformation, I will add another three points to Ravenclaw."

By the time class was over, only five people in the entire classroom had completed this transformation.

And that included Hermione and Veneto.

Professor McGonagall was naturally not very satisfied with the progress of most people, so she assigned a not-very-long essay and asked everyone to hand it in at the next class.

"How did you do it?" After class, Hugo's roommate, Michael Corner, walked over and asked curiously.

"Why can I only turn the wooden match into an iron match, but I can't turn it into a needle."

"That's because you didn't maintain a balance between material transformation and shape transformation in your will," Orens pointed out his problem after listening to what his roommate asked.

Hugo had encountered this problem when he was experimenting with various magics during the summer vacation before, so it was very simple to solve.

Just like Professor McGonagall said in class just now, magic is definitely not something that can be released smoothly by waving a wand and chanting spells.

It contains a series of profound principles.

And the problem that Corner encountered was also the most common type of problem, and it was very simple to solve.

Just maintain your will when casting the spell.

After Hugo pointed out the problem, Corner quickly showed a clear expression.

"I understand, thank you," he said, closing his notebook, "Let's go eat quickly, I hope those good dishes are still waiting for us at this time."
