273 Transfiguration and Dark Magic
Christmas was coming, and one morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke up from its sleep.Snow covered the grassland, the lake was covered with hard ice, a biting cold wind blew in the corridors of the castle, and the window glass of the classroom rattled with the biting cold wind.
The bad weather stopped several people from going to the Forbidden Forest again, but they at least did not forget to avoid showing any strangeness in front of the Prewett brothers. There was no abnormality in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and Karan was still one of their few. A much-loved model actor.
"Very good, ten points for Hufflepuff!"
Professor Fabian shouted with satisfaction. No students had any objections to this, because in their eyes, Karan was becoming more and more proficient in using the Iron Armor Curse.
"Did he do that repelling spell on purpose?"
After class, Lily walked up to Karan and asked suspiciously.
Karan shook his head.
"This is just a normal way to fight off vampires. Unlike werewolves, they cannot resist too many spells and their movements are not that agile."
Steve on the side nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "I really don't know what happened to the Fabian brothers. If there is really something wrong with them, they are too tolerant. .”
Gaspard said expressionlessly: "As long as we are more careful, we don't have to worry about so much."
At this time, the noisy James and the others happened to pass by them. James has now become a veritable Hogwarts star. His originally disobedient hair was also deliberately messed up by him, as if he had just returned from school. It's the same as going up and down a broomstick.
Sirius was not as quiet as he was when Regulus had just been injured, and his face once again had an arrogant and indifferent expression.
Professor Sprout had long said that there was a way to treat victims, and his parents were also trying to find mature mandrakes so that Regulus could be revived quickly.
There is countless gold in the Black family's treasury, which may actually allow them to do this.
Remus followed them silently, while Peter listened enviously to James' boastful words and clapped his hands excitedly.
The two parties did not deliberately seek trouble for each other. Lily stared at them thoughtfully.
"Don't you need to tell them those things too?"
Lily suddenly suggested.
It was obvious that this was just a temporary idea on her part.
Karan looked at her in surprise: "I thought you didn't like them."
"Of course it is." Lily said immediately, with a bored expression on her face, but also seemed a little hesitant.
"But after all, they happened to have been to the Forbidden Forest on the same day. If they encounter any danger due to this kind of thing..."
"You don't have to do this." Karan suddenly interrupted Lily.
"These people are not the kind of obedient students. After hearing our guesses, they will not avoid danger. Instead, they will only actively seek trouble for themselves."
After a moment of silence, Lily frowned at James showing off loudly and agreed with Karan's statement.
"makes sense."
The few people separated at this point. They couldn't get together all day. Lily and her roommates were going back to the common room together, Steve and Gaspard planned to go to the potion preparation room, and Callan was going to the library. pavilion.
When walking to the second floor, Karan happened to bump into Snape who had just finished Charms class.
Among the entire Slytherin team, he was still alone and seemed extremely out of place.
"Did you sign it?"
On the way to the library in silent agreement, Snape broke the silence and asked Callan.
"You mean the Christmas holidays?"
After receiving a positive answer, Karan shook his head and said, "No. Since I already live in Hogsmeade Village, there is no need to continue to stay in school."
Snape nodded silently.
After a while, he said, "Me neither."
"An expected answer." Karan chuckled.
Snape turned to look at Callan.
"What are you going to do at Christmas?" he asked, "Are you coming to my house as a guest? My mother will definitely invite you, and she has even prepared the guest room."
Karan didn't say no.
Snape breathed a silent sigh of relief.
This was different from usual, and it was also the first time he invited friends to his home for Christmas, even with the excuse of Mrs. Prince.
After walking to the library, the two of them stopped talking so much.
Snape habitually took out his homework, and his nose was almost touching the parchment.
When he looked up inadvertently, he found that Karan was not doing his homework, but had brought back a lot of books.
He looked at the names on the cover and found that they were all related to transfiguration.
"Is it because of the transformation spell?"
Snape asked curiously: "Are you planning to make more magic coins?"
"I could have done this a long time ago." Karan said without raising his head, ignoring the twitching corners of Snape's mouth from the corner of his eye.
"Don't you think transformation is amazing?" He continued softly: "Transformation, summoning, disappearance, cross-species transformation, and human body transformation. If used properly, it will become unusually powerful..."
"And becoming more terrifying." Snape interrupted mercilessly: "Don't forget the five-legged monster, which is the product of failed transformation."
"But it's still powerful." Karan insisted: "Don't forget, those are magical animals with the highest level of danger, and before they turned into five-legged monsters, those people were just mediocre wizards."
Snape frowned.
"What are you going to do?" He couldn't help but wonder: "Don't tell me you are going to try such a dangerous thing? Are you going to create some weird and dangerous creature?"
"Of course I wouldn't do that."
After seeing Snape's distrustful look, Karan smiled and said: "Don't worry, how could I take such a risk? You know, even stones can come alive through transfiguration. I don't need to risk real life." Experiment on things.”
"But it's almost impossible to do that."
Snape's frown deepened: "You cannot violate the formula taught by Professor McGonagall. Some things are extremely necessary. For example, the relationship between the original object and the deformation product cannot be too different, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to succeed. .”
"Of course I can think of that."
Karan shook his head and said: "But you also forgot other things. This is not an absolute factor."
"It's just that the wizard is powerful enough."
Snape subconsciously wanted to refute, but couldn't say anything.
Karan is indeed powerful enough. No wizard so young has ever been able to perform such skilled wandless magic at this age.
After seeing Snape like this, Karan continued to smile.
"The most important thing is that transfiguration is not as dangerous as black magic."
