The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Professor McGonagall also cast her gaze at the Slytherins waiting at the door, but unlike Link's curious gaze, Professor McGonagall's gaze was particularly sharp.

Under her gaze, the noisy Slytherins at the door gradually quieted down, and Emily came to sit on the right side of Professor McGonagall.

However, it was quiet, but the Slytherins did not show much respect for Professor McGonagall.

All of them had frivolous expressions, smiles in their eyes, and some even made arrogant little moves below.

Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall's originally unattractive expression became even more ugly.

However, the Slytherins did not violate school rules or disrupt classroom discipline, so Professor McGonagall, who upheld the belief in impartiality and selflessness, did not criticize their behavior too much.

Link also saw all this. He could only say that this was very Slytherin.

He is no stranger to Slytherin House, an ancient house with green and silver as its representative colors.

And just like the snake, the representative animal of their house, most Slytherin students also show their character traits of intelligence, unscrupulousness and ambition.

At the same time, due to the belief of Salazar Slytherin, the founder of the academy, generally speaking, Slytherin Academy will only recruit noble pure-blood wizards, that is, children whose parents are wizards and have magical talents.

Of course, this tradition has almost disappeared after Dumbledore became the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Although there are still not many students in Slytherin College today who are from what Muggle wizards call ordinary people contemptuously, the number of mixed-blood wizards among them already accounts for the majority.

But despite this, there are still many heirs of pure-blood nobles in Slytherin. The families of these guys are rich and powerful, and some of them are even direct directors of Hogwarts.

Relying on the power of these heirs, Slytherins really are not as afraid of Professor McGonagall as other houses.

While Link was secretly observing the Slytherins, the Hufflepuffs also arrived in the classroom.

However, unlike Slytherins who were so cool when they arrived, the Hufflepuffs were much more embarrassed.

Their expressions were tense and their bodies were stiff. Many of them did not even have the courage to look in the direction of Professor McGonagall and the Slytherins.

What's more, it's like Link's three roommates.

Their hair was messy, their ties were askew, and there was eye mucus hanging from the corners of their eyes. They looked like they had just woken up.

All of this made Professor McGonagall on the podium couldn't help snorting.

And this cold snort was like a whip driving the sheep, making the Hufflepuffs run much faster.

"Huh, I was almost late."

Link's roommate named John sat down next to Link, breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Link couldn't help but ask:

"Didn't you wake up before I left? Why did you arrive now?"

The other party looked embarrassed and said:

"I also wanted to get up directly, but my quilt seemed to be cursed and refused to let go of me, so I"

John wanted to continue to say something, but at this moment there was a muffled sound from the podium, and then Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone coldly and said:

"Classes begin"

As soon as these words came out, the buzzing Hufflepuff crowd immediately fell silent, and even the Slytherins not far away straightened their expressions.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall's expression looked a little better. She flicked the wand in her hand, and pieces of egg-sized stones appeared on the table in front of everyone.

"Our lesson today is to turn the rock in front of you into an apple."

Professor McGonagall said this, and most of the Hufflepuffs in the audience changed their expressions.

Transfiguration is an extremely advanced knowledge. Generally speaking, it can be divided into shape changes of the same substance, transformation of different substances, and transformation of living creatures from the shallower to the deeper.

In addition, there are many other branches of transfiguration, such as human transfiguration, permanent transfiguration, and the more advanced Animagus transfiguration.

The classroom task assigned by Professor McGonagall this time falls within the category of conversion between different substances.

Although they had already tried this type of transformation when they were in the first grade, the difficulty of the subject of transforming inorganic matter into organic matter this time was still no less difficult than last year's final exam.

However, Professor McGonagall did not pay attention to the expressions of the Hufflepuffs. She continued to talk to herself:

"Although I told you this as early as last year, I still need to emphasize it to you again now.

According to Gamp's Law of Transfiguration, wizards cannot conjure food out of thin air, nor can they eat food conjured through transfiguration.

Because even if you eat it, you won't be able to absorb any nutrients from it, and you will suffer from indigestion.

So please remember that you must not eat the apples we conjured in class. I don’t want to see any of you here being sent to the infirmary because of this.”

After saying this, Professor McGonagall looked at everyone in the audience. Seeing that everyone had listened to her words, she waved and said:

"Okay, now, please follow the steps we taught last year to transform."

"I understand Professor McGonagall"

The students in the audience shouted in unison.

But compared to Slytherin, the Hufflepuffs' voices seemed particularly lifeless.

Link didn't care so much. He raised his wand without saying a word and pointed it at the stone in front of him.

For this Transfiguration class, he had previewed the entire Junior Transfiguration Guide early.

Although the difficulty was too high, Link's move did not allow him to obtain any magic level related to the transformation technique, but it also gave him a general understanding of the transformation technique.

Link believes that on this basis, as long as he completes Professor McGonagall's coursework, then the level of the transformation spell will be unlocked.

Therefore, Link can be said to have exerted 12 points of energy in this class.

It's a pity that some things can't be done with just the energy, and Link failed on his first try.

The stone in front of him was indeed deformed, but it did not turn into a real apple as he imagined, but instead turned into a gray-white stone apple.

"call"

Seeing this, Link sighed and couldn't help turning his head to look at the Slytherins not far away.

Many of them have already completed the transformation. Although most of the apples transformed are extremely ugly with pits and bumps, there is no doubt that they are still apples.

The most perfectly transformed among them was Emily, who was sitting in the center of the crowd.

At this moment, she was looking at the ceiling with her arms folded and an indifferent expression, and in front of her was a beautiful red apple.

Professor McGonagall also noticed the scene here. She looked at the apple for a while, then nodded slightly and said:

"Victoria, you did a great job, 10 points for Slytherin"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of cheers from Slytherin, but Emily didn't seem very interested in it, and even the expression on her face didn't change at all.

Such a cold attitude made Link curl his lips.

But at this moment, a familiar exclamation suddenly came from Link's ears.

Do you still have the recommendation votes for today? If so, can you vote for me?
