Chapter 238 Transformation class and potion class are both surprising
The second day's schedule is a torment for many students
The two big classes in the morning were all transfiguration. Professor McGonagall always had high demands on the students, so many students kept Professor McGonagall at a respectful distance.I can't really get close.
And the two big classes in the afternoon are Potions.There are too many unlikable things about Professor Snape to list.Even many Slytherin students can't like their shadowy dean.
Of course, after getting acquainted with him, I knew that this person... was indeed as bad as everyone thought.The care he can give is very little, and now it is basically given to a classmate who is a savior.It's too difficult for other people to get any good looks from him.
This year's class arrangement is rather strange, almost connecting the two houses of Slytherin and Gryffindor.Except for a few classes, most of the classes are taught by the two colleges together.This, I have to say, is a bit weird.
Luke glanced at the clock on the wall, glanced around, and found all kinds of things around him, and there was no sign of Professor McGonagall's transformation.Then he said to Taylor beside him: "It's confirmed, Professor McGonagall may be late today."
Taylor felt a little weird: "It seems something is wrong, when will the transformation class use paper and pen?"
Yesterday, the new prefect specially informed them that they should pay attention to bring pens and paper with them during the Transfiguration class this year.Transfiguration class, when should I bring paper and pencil?Do you still have to take notes?
It's not that there is no need for it at all, it seems that Hermione and Taylor will bring a pen and paper to write down some key points during Professor McGonagall's lecture.But such lecture time is only ten minutes.The rest of the time they are in class, guided and practiced by Professor McGonagall.
Transfiguration is a highly practical subject.Lectures are indeed not as important as one-on-one guidance.Professor McGonagall is actually the most tiring of all the professors.
The bell rang, and a figure in a dark green robe also walked in from the door.
"Well, children, I hope we haven't seen each other for a holiday, and you haven't returned all the things you learned last semester."
Under the strange eyes of everyone, Professor McGonagall stepped on the class bell and walked into the classroom.The pace is a little hasty.Obviously, he also knew that his time was about to pass.
"No professor! We all remember!"
A vivacious Gryffindor with discerning eyesight and his dean enliven the atmosphere so as not to be embarrassed.
Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction.Looking at the students below, after staying on Luke for a while, she said, "Then let's continue the class."
"In this class, you have to turn the animals around you into cups!"
This has reached another realm of transfiguration, that is, turning living creatures into still lifes.
It belongs to the level of progress.
Of course, this way of progressing from level to level, the degree of danger is controllable.At present, animals change into still lifes, rather than animals change into animals.After that, it is natural that the wizard becomes a still life, and the wizard becomes an animal.
However, the vast majority of students will never be exposed to these two levels throughout their lives. ….Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and turned an eraser in his hand into a kitten. Just as the kitten was about to lick its paw, Professor McGonagall waved his wand again and turned it into a goblet.The mug is perfectly shaped and has a delicate cat face pattern on it.
Luke couldn't help but want to applaud Professor McGonagall's hand.
This is to re-transform the magic deformation item with magic power.The difficulty is already quite high.You know, if this is a wizard duel, if both sides use the transformation technique, then Professor McGonagall can even counter-control the opponent's transformation product.
This is the pure crushing of Transfiguration skills.
After that, Professor McGonagall continued to demonstrate several times, and the students nodded in half-understanding.
After carefully observing Professor McGonagall's spellcasting movements, the students are ready to practice by themselves according to the practice of last semester.
However, Professor McGonagall did not immediately give them instructions to practice independently.Instead, he picked up a piece of chalk and started writing on the blackboard.
"It's like this, you have to pay attention to the flow of magic power..."
Professor McGonagall begins by describing the magic flow of animals turning into still lifes.Some students just nodded, which was about as they thought.Because when the wand is waved, the wand and the spell will drive the magic in the body to start flowing.Those students who are interested will remember this way of flow, and when they cast a spell next time, they will actively guide the flow of magic power, and work together with the spell and the spell-casting gesture to cast magic more quickly.
And after proficiency, you can ignore spells, wands, and spell-casting gestures.This is the essence of silent, wandless, spellcasting at will.
That is, under normal circumstances, the essence of proficiency.
Why didn't the former professors give lectures? Because it was unnecessary.This kind of thing is naturally the last to be realized by the students themselves.If every spell has to teach such a complex flow of magic, what do they need wands and spells?These things themselves play an auxiliary role.
They will also tell you to pay attention to the flow of magic power during class.It's just that there are not many young students who can remember this sentence.
It is not necessarily a good thing for Professor McGonagall to talk about this kind of thing now.
After all, the most important thing in Transfiguration is flexibility.
If every transformation magic was regulated to death, then transformation would indeed be much simpler, but it would no longer be a commonly used method in battle.
So Luke doesn't quite understand Professor McGonagall's current teaching methods.This seems a bit thankless.
But Professor McGonagall didn't stop there.Instead, let the students continue to communicate, and draw the route of the magic flow that they feel every time they cast a spell.Even if it is wrong, it must be drawn, and it must be marked, what is the effect this time.
Listening to Professor McGonagall's arrangement, Luke touched his chin silently.
"It doesn't feel right..."
Taylor also spoke with some hesitation.And Hermione, who was beside them, said, "It's like an experiment log."
Luke raised his eyebrows after being touched like this, feeling as if he understood something.Looking at Professor McGonagall's tired face, he also scratched his face embarrassedly. .... The hole he dug for the professor may indeed be a bit big.
After all, it is not an ordinary difficulty to sum up a corresponding and practical formula for magic like Transfiguration.
But judging from the current situation, the professor already has a direction and has begun to collect experimental data in large quantities.
Luke waved his wand casually, and a bird caught by Booker and used to replace it turned into a cup similar in shape to the cup on the podium, only the cat's face pattern became a feather pattern.
Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and noticed Luke's movements easily.
She nodded: "Slytherin, add five points!"
Not far away, Hermione sighed helplessly, and then began to practice.
I don't know if there will be any difference in the effect of the already very different Transfiguration class?
Luke is also looking forward to the answer to this question.
The Transfiguration class in the morning slipped away before everyone could react.When get out of class was over, the students were waving their wrists, which were sore from drawing, while complaining to their friends.
"How many times have you cast spells in this class?"
"A few times, more time was spent on drawing. Hell, it's obviously a little bit off the route drawn by the professor. Why is the tail showing?"
"Be content, I feel the flow, but it's difficult to even draw it. Merlin's beard, before the next class, I may have to contact the drawing of the road map myself."
"It's okay, you're not the only one, I see that there are many people who can't draw, and the paintings are crooked."
……
After listening to these conversations, Luke chatted with the twins at the lunch table.
"You can make special manuscript paper like this."
Luke manipulated a juice with his wand, and drew the shape of a person holding a wand on a napkin.
"You can go to Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick for help. Let's call it the trajectory where the magic power may flow. Draw them all. Then sell them to the students."
Luke's proposal got the twins deep in thought.In fact, this is not too difficult for them.Because they don't need to draw by themselves, they just need to make the general shape first, and then ask the professors to fill it in.
In fact, for professors, such work is not too complicated.Especially for Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.A transfiguration class with great randomness, an all-encompassing spell class where all kinds of things are inevitably connected.
They are already familiar with the possible trajectory of magic power.
It's as if no one had effectively put the basic spells together in a book before Miranda Goshawk.Some things are actually not difficult, but some people just can't think of them.
The reason why the twins are worried is not because of difficulties but...
"Profits might be a little low, Luke."
Fred said frankly: "Sell it to your classmates, and it's something that can be regarded as just needed. The price must not be too expensive."
George added: "And it's only used in Transfiguration classes right now. The amount of demand doesn't feel like too much."... In short...
"Not making money, right?"
Luke frowned thoughtfully.
The twins looked at each other, finally nodded and said: "That's right. No money."
There are few little wizards in the school itself, and those students in the sixth and seventh grades who don't learn Transfiguration are deducted.The remaining five graders seem to be quite a lot, but in fact, after doing the math, there are only that many.Selling for a whole school year may not earn a hundred Galleons.
Not too little.But not so much for the current twins.
Looking at Luke's expression, George smiled and said, "It's not that we don't plan to help you. It's that we don't even plan to use this to make money."
Luke looked up in surprise.Then, he saw the gentle smiles on the twins' faces, and George went on to say, "Go sell it, and only charge the cost price. We'll help you run the errand."
Fred nodded and said, "It should be of some help to you."
When Luke heard this, the dull expression on his face gradually softened: "Okay, but I won't..."
"Stop, stop." Fred said hastily, "Don't talk about money, it's enough. Between us, don't do this."
George smiled at Luke too.
Luke knew it was because they really thought of themselves as one of their own.
So I am not making excuses.
In this way, a deal that did not make money was finalized.
There are some people around them, and when they heard this, they felt a little distressed.No one here is a fool.Although this thing has no technical content, it is still no problem to spend pocket money every week.
Especially for Ron, who doesn't have the means to get money at hand, and the family really can't afford more children.With such an income, it is also a very good choice.
But he didn't say anything, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him.If it had anything to do with it, he would have to pay for such paper himself in the future.
After all, the flow of magic power in his words is not good.
........................
In the afternoon, the Slytherin and Gryffindor students gathered together again.In the morning it is the class of Head Gryffindor, and in the afternoon it is the class of Head Slytherin.This day's class can be said to be a double torture for the students of the two colleges.
When the students walked into the classroom, they saw Professor Snape resting on the podium with his eyes closed.
They were silent one by one, finding their positions silently, not daring to speak loudly.
Luke, Tyler, and Hermione didn't choose to touch Snape's brow either.They silently found a place to sit down and put away their crucible and other things.Doing preparations before class.
The bell rang shortly afterwards.And the moment the bell rang, Professor Snape opened his eyes.His sharp eyes scanned every student below.
Bet on mildness on Tyler, bet on indifference on Luke, bet on loathing on Harry.
"It seems that the nonsense of a summer vacation did not cause some students to lose their lives. Of course, the way you show off really opened my eyes. Gossip with foreigners, and headlines with book sellers. You are really Hogwarts tomorrow's star."
The gossip was naturally about Luke, and the headline...of course it was about Harry.
The news of the two was no secret to the students.
And everything at present is also within everyone's expectations.
They can even predict what will happen next.
"It's time for the professor to question Potter."
Malfoy looked at Harry somewhat gloatingly.Harry glared at him, but said nothing.
"Potter!"
Snape's voice appeared abruptly but not unexpectedly.
"Yes, Professor!"
Harry answered loudly.
"What are the three most important materials for broad-spectrum antidote!"
The students below started whispering.Of course they know about the broad-spectrum antidote, but that knowledge is limited to knowing which pharmacy they can buy it from.
That's not the lesson they're supposed to learn this school year.
but……
"Bezoars, mistletoe berries, unicorn horns! Professor!"
Harry's voice came suddenly and unexpectedly. .
