Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Transfiguration class is the same as Charms class, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor take it together. Stephen and Rowan finished breakfast and headed to the Transfiguration classroom under the leadership of Watson. It has to be said that Watson can always find his way, and I don’t know if he walked around the corridors of Hogwarts in his spare time.

The two came to the classroom, where a tabby cat was standing on the desk on the podium. Stephen knew that this was a repertoire for Transfiguration class and bowed to the tabby cat.

Although Rowan didn't know the specific situation, he knew that Stephen knew some hidden secrets, and there might be a deep meaning in doing so, and he bowed to the tabby cat.

The tabby cat nodded slightly, pacing on the desk and observing the students who came in.

"Stephen, why did you bow to that cat?" Rowan asked in a low voice after the two sat down.

"Rowan, you'll find out later." Stephen smiled mysteriously, not intending to answer the question.

Ben stepped into the classroom. He was also very curious about the cat, but his instinct told him that getting close to the cat might be dangerous, so he did not get close, but sat directly next to Rowan.

Some students were talking quietly in the classroom, and Stephen could vaguely hear a few girls mentioning Gilderoy Lockhart's name.

"Has he not graduated yet?" Stephen was a little curious, but didn't think much about it.

After a while, people arrived. The tabby cat suddenly jumped off the desk and transformed back into a human form. This process always caused many freshmen to exclaim.

Professor McGonagall signaled everyone to quiet down, briefly talked about Armanigus' transformation, mentioned the risks involved, and then began to talk about today's class content.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you have in your classes at Hogwarts. Anyone who tries to cause trouble in my class will be asked to leave and never come back. I warned you." ." She warned.

The first lesson in first grade Transfiguration class is probably always about turning a match into a needle. This is always difficult for freshmen, and few can complete it in the first class.

Stephen looked at the match and carefully imagined the material and shape of the metal needle in his mind, but after he waved his magic wand, the match only changed slightly.

"Perhaps we should also consider the structure and material of the match." He tried to imagine the conversion process again.

"Mr. Copper, you did a great job. Five points from Gryffindor as a reward for the first person to successfully transform."

Stephen took a look at Ben's work. It was a needle with a silvery light. Although it was not exquisite, it was already very good. He waved his wand at his match again, while Rowan quietly asked Ben's secret.

This time it worked, and the match turned into a needle with a needle eye.

"Two points for Ravenclaw. Mr. Tony, your needle change is very good." Professor McGonagall picked it up and looked at it.

"Stephen, is there any secret to this process? Ben said that he changed by feeling, but I feel that there may be more to it than that." Rowan came closer, and he found that he seemed not to be good at transformation.

"I think you have to imagine the process of structure and material changes in your mind..." Stephen explained to him in a low voice.

The only ones who succeeded in the whole class were Ben and Stephen, oh, and the mysterious Martin, and Rowan just managed to make the matches change.

At the end of get out of class, Professor McGonagall asked the whole class to watch how she turned a match into a needle, and then assigned corresponding homework.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts, the professors who change every year are always a headache, making it difficult to find the right person.

This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Mellen Keyes, a very young professor. He graduated from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was invited by Dumbledore to come from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for one semester, after which he would return to the United States to continue his research.

Mellenkeys was a typical academic professor, not a practical one. He is good at teaching magic theory. Through his courses, young wizards can learn a lot of theories.

However, the disadvantage is that the content is very boring, making people want to sleep, and there are not many opportunities for hands-on practice. Many students complain that taking his class is like taking a history of magic.

However, Stephen and Rowan both feel that theory is very important. They believe that only by understanding the corresponding theory can we better master a spell, rather than just being able to use it.

So they often went to Professor Case to ask questions after class, and Case was always happy to answer their questions. At the same time, they found that Professor Case's fighting skills were very standard. Although there were some rusty and unfluent issues, they were still flawless overall.

After taking the herbal medicine class in the afternoon, the day's classes are over. After dinner, Rowan chose to go to the library. He wanted to find out more about the cursed treasure house, while Stephen went to Filch's office to collect his confinement package.

He came to the door of Filch's office. Merula was standing at the door. It seemed that Merula had just arrived.

"Humph" Merula snorted coldly after seeing Stephen, expressing her dissatisfaction, and then stopped talking.

Stephen knocked on the door of Filch's office. Filch opened it and Mrs. Norris stayed at his feet.

"Two annoying little guys, Hagrid told me that he is too busy, so your confinement is to patrol the Forbidden Forest with him." Filch took out a lamp and handed it to Stephen, "This lamp is If you need it later, give it to Hagrid when you're done. Follow me."

"Hagrid, I'll leave these two to you. Discipline them for me so that they don't violate school rules again." Filch took them to Hagrid's hut, knocked on the door and called Hagrid out.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Filch." Hagrid nodded to Filch, went into the room and took out a lamp and came out again, "Come on, two little guys, follow me. We have to hurry up, otherwise you We may not be able to go back to the dormitory tonight."

Hagrid led the two of them through the Forbidden Forest, and seemed to be very familiar with the place. As for Fang, he didn't know where it was yet.

"Hagrid, you look familiar with this," Stephen asked curiously. Hadn't Hagrid just been appointed gamekeeper for a day?

"Oh, I have worked with Ogg before as his assistant. Come on, come this way." Hagrid walked forward without looking back. "You have to follow me closely. There are many pairs of enemies in the Forbidden Forest." Something dangerous for both of you.”

Merula seemed to be walking very hard. She may have never walked such a difficult road before, and she still had to walk such a long way. Seeing that her condition was not very good, Stephen stretched out his hand towards her: "You can consider holding my hand."

Merula glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to hold Stephen's hand.

The three of them just walked towards the depths

"Hagrid, how long do we have to walk?" Stephen also felt a little tired. His small body was reaching its limit after walking for so long, and Merula was even panting.

"Oh, come on, I have to find a suitable place to mark and tell those cute little guys that they are not allowed to go near it."

"Devil's Net"

"That's right, you need to find a suitable place to put it so it won't affect too many animals."

It was getting late, and Stephen could only rely on the lamp in his hand to distinguish the path under his feet, while Merula held his other hand tightly and followed his steps.
