Harry Potter's Catastrophe

Professor McGonagall arrived at the Transfiguration classroom half an hour early the next day, only to find that someone had already arrived before her.

Professor McGonagall heard them discussing magic knowledge and did not disturb them. She recognized the two students. Hermione Granger is a child who loves to learn very much and is more diligent than anyone in this class. Although she has a stronger personality, she seems to see her former self in her body. The other one was none other than Carney Strand, which was why she didn't interrupt. She was observing.

She mastered all of Carney's flashing spells, but her talent was average, and it took her three attempts to succeed. The flash spell is the simplest type of spell. It is only used for lighting. It is very simple to learn and can be used by anyone with a little magic talent.

But the control and use of magic power has begun to touch the surface, and it is already far beyond that of a second-year student. The brain is flexible in thinking, but the talent is not high, but she did not find anything special. The talent is innate, just like when Harry shakes his hand casually, the wand will react strongly and send out a somewhat powerful attack. The ones with talent are the ones who make mistakes and explode if they keep practicing.

"It's unbelievable, Mr. Strang, your level just now is much higher than that of your peers." Professor McGonagall still gave a more pertinent evaluation.

"Professor" Hermione said.

"Good morning, Professor," Carney said.

"Good morning, Mr. Strang and Miss Granger, I hope you will perform well in the Transfiguration class." After saying this, Professor McGonagall walked to the podium and began to prepare the props needed for this class.

Many students began to come to the classroom one after another, and Hermione was not talking to him.

All their classes were shared classes, and the Transfiguration class was with Ravenclaw. Neville and Seamus arrived just before the bell rang, so Harry and Ron probably got cold feet.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you have in your Hogwarts curriculum." Professor McGonagall said, "Anyone who tries to cause trouble in my class will be asked to leave and will never be allowed to come in again." . "I warned you."

Then, she turned her desk into a pig, and then back again. The students' eyes were wide open and they wanted to start learning right away, but they soon understood that in order to turn things into animals , it will take a long time.

"Professor! If transfiguration turns a dead thing into a living thing, is it still a dead thing? Isn't it like creating a life?" Carney raised his own doubts.

"This is not the creation of life. It is maintained by magic power. Without magic power, it will return to its original form. It has a time limit, Mr. Strang." Professor McGonagall said.

"Does the transformed creature have the ability to think and think? If the magic power is enough, can it be maintained forever? If the transformed life is maintained by magic power and lives like a real life, then it will still be the original one in the end That item?" Carney bombarded him with a bunch of questions again. He really had a lot of questions about the transformation technique.

"Mr. Strang, these questions you asked are outside the scope of this class." There was no expression on Professor McGonagall's face.

"I'm just asking. There are too many things I can't understand." Carney realized that he seemed to have said a bit too much.

"I will answer these for you one by one in future classes." Professor McGonagall said, "Okay, let's continue the class."

Everyone else around was stunned when they heard this advanced conversation. It was too difficult to understand. Only a few people understood it. They were basically Ravenclaw students. Only Hermione from Gryffindor understood it. , those who didn’t understand were completely stunned, while those who understood were completely lost in thought.

But Professor McGonagall quickly brought them back to their senses...

Sure enough, the Transfiguration class was a lot of theory, and he had to copy a lot of key points and notes. It wasn't very difficult for Carney to understand it. After all, it was a first-year course, so it wasn't too profound.

While everyone was copying notes, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open. It was Harry and Ron. They finally arrived.

"You are thirty minutes late." Professor McGonagall looked at the two of them with an evil look, "Should I turn one of you into a clock, so that at least one of you can be on time."

"We're lost." Harry said, his eyes were so clean, and he spoke so righteously and perfectly without hesitation. If you oversleep, you oversleep, and if you get lost, you can still get lost for thirty minutes.

"Then it becomes a map. You don't need a map to find a seat." Professor McGonagall didn't intend to pursue it, because it was Harry who was late. It was excusable.

Professor McGonagall also gave a task. Everyone was given a match and turned the match into a needle before get out of class.

After copying the notes quickly, I started to roll up my sleeves and get ready for a big fight.

"A match turns into a needle!" "A match turns into a needle!" "Quickly turns into a needle!" There is no fixed spell for the transformation spell. People who copied the notes began to use the adjective of needle as a spell.

Carney, after copying the notes, you basically understand it. The profound aspects of transfiguration lie in imagination and mental power. You need to conceive the thing you want to change in your mind, and it must be very detailed and clear, and you must have a good understanding of the structure, function, and shape of the thing.

When it comes to changing the needle, everyone can think of what the needle looks like, but that is far from enough, not clear enough, not firm enough, and not comprehensive enough. For example, when you are waving the stick, your mind suddenly wanders, you are not concentrated, and you do not clearly present the appearance of the needle and its various characteristics in your mind, then there will be no change, because you yourself do not have the firm will and thinking. It is difficult to succeed if you imagine that what you need is just a vague definition. As for whether it will explode or not, it depends on the individual.

This is the difficult part of transfiguration. Using an adjective close to the thing to be changed as a spell is also a way to help beginners learn transfiguration to concentrate, because advanced transfiguration does not have a spell.

There were endless spells in the classroom, and they changed vocabulary one after another, but it was still too difficult for first-grade children.

There’s also the Ron-esque incantation “Toothpick, hour hand and nail, quickly turn these matches into needles!”

"Change the needle! Change the needle" Harry was more direct.

"Thin and sharp!" Hermione practiced more seriously, and this was always her spell.

Carney joined in the exercise, having been thinking of spells.

"The tip is as thin as a needle and as hard as iron!" Carney combined the shape of the needle with the properties of matter.

With a wave of the magic wand, the eggs disappeared. Carney tried four or five more times, but no response...

Maybe the previous flash spell used up the magic power, Carney thought.

"Hey, Hermione, you've changed!" Carney was closest to Hermione and was the first to notice. "It's amazing!"

Carney noticed Hermione's mood as early as in class. It must have been the flashing spell that hit her. After all, he was also experienced, so he might as well try to calm her down.

Hermione didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes at him. The reason why her matches changed so quickly was because she secretly tried the magic spell Carney said.

Sure enough, there has been a change. The match has become smaller, a bit like a toothpick but one side is thicker and the other is thinner. The material has not changed, it has turned black.

"Very good, Miss Granger, keep up the good work. Five more points for Gryffindor!" Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione's "match". It was already good to be able to make some changes to the match in the first lesson. This is different from the match. Almost half of it has turned into needles.

Everyone in Gryffindor around him became happy. After all, he got five extra points in the first period, and the Academy Cup was already beckoning like a little lion.

In the bonus point system, each class can only deduct a maximum of twenty points from one college.

Hermione blushed and said nothing. She listened to the whispers around her exaggerating her. She was very confused because this was entirely due to the Carney Curse. Maybe he could succeed after a few tries. This was because she was watching him thinking hard. (In a daze) He invented the magic spell, but he stole the fruits of his labor.

At the end of the class, Hermione was the only one who changed the match, which directly extinguished most people's enthusiasm for the Transfiguration class.
