Hogwarts Wizard of the Deep

Chapter 12 Transfiguration

After watching Andersen fly away, Linde and Beliver stepped into the Transfiguration classroom.

Ignoring the brown tabby cat on the podium, Linde found a seat in the first row, then sat down and opened the book to continue reading.

Isn't it normal that I, an ordinary little wizard, doesn't even know about Animagus?

Linde flipped through it for a while, then closed the book. He has read the book "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" many times.

Its content is just a basic explanation of the five principles of Gamp's transformation and the skills of performing transformation.Among them are the way the wand is swung, the desire in the heart to achieve the transformation goal, and the degree of inner understanding of the imagined transformation goal.

The five principles of Gamp's transformation are

1: You cannot use polymorph to conjure food

2: Permanent conversion between living and dead objects cannot be realized
3: Cannot transform into magic items

4: The quantity cannot be changed
5: Polymorph cannot be created from nothing.

Of course, there are still many doubts in Linde's scientific worldview.

For example, "air" is used as a medium to realize deformation.The reaction of the deformed food with the digestive system during the magic power maintenance time, etc...

Of course, this book only prints these five principles as the preface of the book, to warn young wizards who are new to Transfiguration.

Then there's the technical aspect of Transfiguration,
If Linde wants to turn a certain watch into a green water ghost, if he doesn't understand the precise structure inside the green water ghost, he is more likely to turn it into a green water turtle.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, and you need to have a certain understanding of the object you want to deform when deforming.It is "to a certain extent", and there is no requirement to learn biology to a certain extent for metamorphic animals.

To a certain extent, the desire to transform is more important.

Just like the spellcasting system in the entire magic world, it is a partial but not completely idealistic thing.

"call!"

Linde breathed a sigh of relief.

The more I understand this magic, the more curious and eager I become.

In the past, Linde couldn't understand the feeling of "the more you watch, the more you want to know" when others said.

But now he understands.

Little wizards came in one after another, and Linde also saw Jane and Hermione.

It looked like the two hadn't eaten yet.

Unsurprisingly, most of the little wizards breathed a sigh of relief when they entered.One after another, they are all roughly the same sentence "Fortunately, it seems that Professor McGonagall hasn't come yet!"

Regardless of whether it is class time or not, it is not a good behavior for students to come to the classroom later than the teacher.

The old-fashioned wall clock in the classroom dinged.

It's time for class.Linde saw the cat on the podium stretch its body and was about to jump off when he heard eager footsteps.

Harry and Ron were late.

"Fortunately, Professor McGonagall doesn't seem to be here yet!"

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley. I think you can arrive earlier next time." The sound of the air being stirred at a high speed rang in the classroom along with Professor McGonagall's stern words.

The little wizards only saw that the tabby cat that was on the podium just now turned into a stern witch in emerald green robes and pointed hat.

This caused the audience to exclaim again and again, including Linde.

Ron and Harry nodded stiffly, then sat in the back row.

"My God, it's lucky to have you, Linde." Several people in Beliver said, they didn't dare to think that if they didn't go with Linde, they would be late like Ron.

After all, when they didn't follow Linde before, they searched for the auditorium for a long time.

"It's Animagus! My grandmother told me that there are not many people in England who know this magic!" Jane's voice came from behind Linde, and she was talking to Hermione about science.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous form of magic you will study at Hogwarts," she said. "Anyone who misbehaves in one of my classes will be asked to leave and never again." Come in. I warned you."

Then she turned her lectern into a pig and back again.

The little wizards exclaimed for a while, and Linde also looked hot, and couldn't wait to try his hand.

"Of course, this is not what you need to do. In this class, you only need to turn a match into a needle.

Looking at the disappointed and indifferent expressions of the little wizards, Professor McGonagall continued.
"Don't think it's easy!"

After speaking, Professor McGonagall began to explain the theory first, and did not start the practical training until they took down a lot of complicated and difficult notes.

With a wave of her magic wand, the matches on the desk flew out, and then fell one by one in front of every little wizard.

Lind himself has tried some transfiguration at home, but with little success.But now he has some new insights.

He didn't rush to hold his wand like other little wizards and started waving it around.

He put his wand aside first, and thought about the difference between a match and a needle.

First of all, in appearance, the needle is thinner than the match, and then there are needle holes at the end of the match.

Then the wood is converted into metal. If the requirements are higher, the lines of the needle tip should be modified to be smoother, and the tail of the needle should be more rounded.

Take these deformation requirements step by step.

Then he picked up the wand and pointed the tip of the wand at the match, a feeling of connectedness welled up in his heart, and he slowly output the magic power to the tip of the wand.

"Desire, need. My desire now is to turn this toothpick in front of me into a match."

The match starts to taper off.Linde tried his best to control the output of his magic power with a stable effect.

Visible to the naked eye, the matches in front of Linde gradually became thinner, and Professor McGonagall stood beside Linde at some point, watching him quietly.

Linde's mind was completely focused on one point, and an irregular hole gradually appeared at the end of the match.

The wood color of the matches begins to reflect a little shimmer, a sign of a change in texture.

But that's all for Linde.When he got to the back, he felt very clear that he was already unsustainable.

It's like singing soaring high notes. If you don't have enough energy, no matter how hard you try, it's useless.

"Very good Transfiguration, Mister Augustus. Looks like you learned something from your books!"

Professor McGonagall smiled lightly and waved his wand, and Linde's half-match and half-needle flew up, slowly passing by the eyes of a group of little wizards.

"3 points to Gryffindor for Mister Augustus' excellent Transfiguration."

Hermione and Jane also saw Linde's results, but it's only been a while before he achieved this effect.

Jane looked at her own match, it only had a little silver light at the tip, which was nothing compared to Linde's.

She heard what Professor McGonagall said, too, and he saw Lind carrying the book wherever he went, just as he had done this morning outside the common room.

Not to be outdone, Hermione stared even harder at the match in front of her.

But Linde didn't think too much about it. The goal in his heart was never to compare with these little wizards, and of course it wasn't necessary to compare with the so-called seniors.

He just wants to achieve the goals he set for himself.

And his goal in this class is to be able to conjure a real needle and maintain it for a period of time.

It lasted until the end of get out of class, and Linde finally managed to get a complete needle out.

Professor McGonagall did not expect that Linde could conjure needles in one class, so he added 3 points before, which also led to Linde only adding 2 points for completely conjuring needles this time.

When the get out of class was about to end, apart from Lind, only Hermione and Jane's matches looked like needles.

Professor McGonagall then showed the class how she turned a match into a needle.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang, and Linde slowly packed up his things and walked at the end.

Just like when he got off the Hogwarts Express, he didn't want to be crowded.

As he walked out of the classroom door, Andersen also flew over and landed on Linde's shoulder.
