Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 255 Gump's Basic Deformation Law

"Because...because..."

Professor Adams felt a little faint, sweat dripped from his forehead, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, lowered his body, and said in a low voice: "I didn't intend to come here, but Principal McGonagall found me, and Principal McGonagall and I There is a bit of history, plus what happened in the restaurant... In short, she knew that I was a middle school teacher before opening the restaurant, and I had experience in teaching students, and I know Muggles very well, so she invited me here."

After a while, he said in an almost pleading tone: "Can you two do me a favor, don't tell everyone that I am... I am that thing, okay?"

"Oh, don't worry about this, Professor Adams, what do we say in the Muggle studies class? It's worse than Muggles, and you have more experience than us, so don't be too afraid." Maureen knew what Professor Adams was thinking, He said in an encouraging tone.

"That, that's good, thank you, your name is Maureen, if I remember correctly." Professor Adams looked much calmer. He had never been so nervous when he was a middle school teacher in the Muggle world.

The class bell rang, and the voice in the classroom gradually quieted down. Professor Adams took a deep breath, then opened the book, and said, "Hi everyone, I am your Muggle Studies teacher for this school year, you can call me Professor Adams .I have received a letter from Professor Charles, you have reached Chapter No.17 last semester, so please take out your textbooks, what we are going to study today is..."

Professor Adams finally started to open the textbook, and picked up the chalk to write on the blackboard himself. This made many students feel very strange, because when many professors want to write on the blackboard in class, they basically wave their wands directly, and the writing will appear on the blackboard superior.

When the chalk in Professor Adams's hand sounded on the blackboard, there was a moment of silence in the classroom.

Everyone looked at Professor Adams, who was a little nervous, reading on the floor. In their opinion, this kind of behavior was really a waste of time.

"Professor." Gemma of Gryffindor couldn't help raising her hand, and asked suspiciously, "Why do you write on the blackboard yourself? Can't you use magic?"

"Use magic...yes, use magic...but I..." Professor Adams stopped, speaking a little vaguely, he didn't know where to put the chalk in his hand, and seemed to be stopped by the student.

"That's because the professor wants to make this class more realistic, isn't it? Professor." Maureen said, "You want to teach us in the way of Muggles, so that we can see how Muggles teach the class ?"

"No, that's right, that's right."

Professor Adams nodded quickly, and cast a grateful look at Mo Lin's relief: "I think that since we want to learn Muggle knowledge, we should start from the most basic. Muggles don't know magic, and they have to write on the blackboard themselves. I plan to teach on the blackboard myself, so that you will know the difference between wizarding and Muggle life."

"Isn't that a waste of time? I really don't understand why we have to learn about Muggle life." Taibetha of Slytherin frowned. She has never been interested in learning about Muggles.

"Muggles still use multimedia in class, such as projectors and computers, but these things cannot be used in Hogwarts. They are very creative. You listen carefully, which will help you in the final exam." Professor Adams slightly raised his voice , appeared a lot more confident.

Aside from not being able to use magic, Professor Adams' lectures are actually very organized. He is a squib, but he has a comprehensive understanding of wizards and Muggles. It can be said that there is no problem in taking this class.

Although Maureen didn't like this class very much, he respected any professor, even if Professor Adams was a squib.

In addition to Muggle Studies, other magic courses in the new semester were more esoteric for them, especially Transfiguration and Charms. Many second-year students complained that the difficulty had been raised by a notch, which felt much more strenuous than the first-year courses.

Such as transformation class.

"Professor, did you take the wrong lesson plan? Why did you let us learn fruit transfiguration in the second grade?" Hugo asked Professor Kane in the transfiguration class. Professor Kane asked everyone to turn apples into oranges, but his apples just rolled. Fuck off, nothing changed.

"Molin." Professor Kane shouted without thinking.

"Okay." Maureen yawned, and tapped Hugo's apple with his wand, turning Hugo's apple into an orange.

"Did you see that? Molin is also a second-year student, so he could have done this a long time ago." Professor Kane glanced at everyone and nodded approvingly at Maureen.

Mo Lin looked helpless. In the first few days of school, if anyone complains that learning magic is too difficult, he will be used by the professor as a teaching tool, leaving everyone speechless.

"But why does it still taste like an apple?" Hugo had already peeled the orange that Maureen had cast a spell on and ate it.

Professor Kane came over and hit Hugo on the head with his wand: "Weasley, I didn't bring the apples from the kitchen to you for you to eat. You have already eaten two. Do you think I didn't see it?" ?"

Hugo stuck out his tongue and quickly covered his mouth, which was still chewing slightly.

"Transfiguration does not change the nature of food. Everyone needs to remember that one of the five exceptions to Gamp's basic law of transformation is food." Professor Kane said, "Then what are the other four, Weasley, You come to answer, if you can't answer, I will ask the house elf to take extra care of you for dinner."

"Professor, if you have something to say, it's inhumane to use food as punishment!" Hugo quickly swallowed the apple-flavored oranges in his mouth, and said, "The other four, after thinking about it, must be coins. If it doesn't count, then I'll learn how to turn leaves into Galleons, and I'll make a fortune..."

Mo Lin laughed beside him, and many people were also amused by Hugo's words.

Hugo waved to everyone, expressing his satisfaction with his answer.

But Professor Kane tapped Hugo's head again with his wand, and glared at him: "What are you looking like? Did I say you were right?"

"Ah, isn't that right? That means it can be turned into gold coins? Professor, does that mean I can use this orange peel to turn into a Galleon?" Hugo couldn't wait to pick up the orange peel he just peeled off, his eyes glowing.

"With your frowning Transfiguration technique, you can take an orange peel as a gold coin and take it to Gringotts, and it will be strange if you don't get caught for fraud and be imprisoned in Azkaban for half a month." Professor Kane said angrily. He waved his hand and asked Hugo to sit down. He didn't expect Hugo to give the correct answer, and then looked at Mo Lin: "Please explain to everyone the five exceptions to Gamp's law of deformation in detail."

Mo Lin held back a laugh, stood up and said: "Gamp's five exceptions to the basic law of transformation, the first is food, we can't conjure any food out of thin air, we can only transform bread into chicken legs, or turn water into milk, but this The process requires the use of the Taste Buds Charm, and only wizards who are proficient in cooking can make the Taste Buds Charm work properly."

Morin paused, then continued: "However, no matter how you deform it, the essence will not change. For example, if we turn a piece of loess into a sandwich, even if we eat the deformed sandwich, we are only eating soil. You can't rely on it. Eat soil to supplement nutrition, but you can at least get psychological comfort with the help of the taste buds spell. The principle of turning water into milk is the same, we are actually just drinking water.”
