The Hufflepuff student party lasted very late, and since it was close to the kitchen, every little wizard was well fed and still rubbing their bellies when they went to bed.

Ryan felt that he would definitely gain weight if he continued like this, so early the next morning, he ran several laps in the courtyard, sweated profusely, and then went to the bathhouse to take a quick shower.

Seeing that it was still early, he started his daily training routine again to improve his proficiency in Occlumency.

The practice of locking the mind is a process of slow work and meticulous work. There is no shortcut to crossing each stage. You can only achieve control of your own mind through continuous training.

It's only been two days since he started, so Ryan doesn't expect much improvement.However, during practice, he still clearly felt relaxed when he cleared his mind.

What a terrifying talent, Ryan thought with a half-smile and a half-sigh. So far, no spell has made him feel bottlenecked. Everything seemed to fall into place. I don’t know if it was because of the original owner’s own qualifications or the changes caused by time travel.

He finished work at eight o'clock on time, called Justin, and went to the kitchen with him to have breakfast.

"There is such a delicious sandwich, but you didn't bring it for me yesterday."

"I don't know if it's to your taste." Ryan said, "Didn't you eat it today?"

"I think you can make a lot of money by opening a restaurant in the future." Justin sighed, "Why can you do everything?"

"This is prejudice. I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I can't possibly know everything." Ryan couldn't laugh or cry. "Everyone has their own things that they are good at. You have to discover your own advantages."

"What advantage do I have?"

"You have money." Ryan said matter-of-factly.

"That's my dad's money, not mine." Justin was very unhappy.

"You can also make your own money. I think you have a talent for business." Ryan smiled, "Also, it's only been one day since school started, and you haven't even attended all classes. How do you know you don't have a subject that you're good at?"

"What classes are there today?" Justin no longer cares about talent, "I hope there will be less homework."

"Then you may be disappointed. There is a class on Transfiguration today, and I heard that Professor McGonagall will assign a lot of homework."

"Oh, spare me." Justin sighed exaggeratedly.

In fact, Professor McGonagall was more strict than Justin imagined.As soon as she came to class, she gave the little wizards a slap in the face.

"You are about to learn the most varied, complex, and dangerous spell among all spells. I don't want any of you to lose your life because of the indiscriminate use of transformation!" Professor McGonagall said. She paid special attention to Ryan. "Who would If he dares to be naughty in my class, I will ask him out."

She watched the little wizards nod obediently before continuing the class with satisfaction: "Before learning the art of transformation, please open the book to page 5. There are some things here that you need to keep in mind. This is for the sake of your lives."

Ryan opened the book, and on page 5 it was written: Gamp's Law of Transformation.

"Gamp's law of deformation has three theorems and five exceptions. Please read it aloud to me and engrave it in your heart!"

Professor McGonagall's voice was loud. She read a sentence, and the students followed her:

“First, transfiguration is not permanent.

“Second, transfiguration cannot make things appear out of thin air, nor can it make things disappear out of thin air. It can only transform one state into another.

"Third, transfiguration cannot create something that does not exist."

Professor McGonagall paused and continued: "In other words, as long as it exists, transfiguration can be applied, but you must keep in mind the five major exceptions: food, water, air, medicine, and magical animals."

Ryan immediately raised his hand.

"What's your problem, Mr. Franklin?" Professor McGonagall frowned.

"Professor, I saw in the book that transfiguration can turn stones into animals. Don't animals count as food?"

"Very good question, please sit down." Professor McGonagall said, "Transfiguration can indeed turn dead things into living things, like this -"

She tapped the podium with her wand, transforming it into a living pig.

"Remember, the five exceptions do not mean that it is impossible, because as long as it exists, the transformation technique can be applied. The five exceptions are just a restriction, a restriction to protect everyone's lives."

Professor McGonagall restored the table to its original shape: "Food, water, air and medicine are all applied to the human body and can be absorbed by the human body. You can turn stones into pigs, bread, and even milk, but they must not be eaten. .

"Because of the first principle, any deformation is temporary. And your predecessors have contributed too many death cases to this, such as the stomach being filled with stones, the blood turning into mud, and the lungs being filled with powder - —You don’t want to experience what that feels like.”

Her words frightened the little wizards into nodding.

Ryan raised his hand again, and Professor McGonagall motioned for him to speak.

"Professor, if I transform a piece of bread into beef and then eat it, what will be the consequences?"

"You are very perceptive, Mr. Franklin. But I still have to say, no! Food is the first of the five exceptions, because many ignorant people have paid their lives for it. And the situation you mentioned has been verified by someone's life. They Some have no effect, some get sick, and some lose their lives. There is no pattern to follow, and I don’t want any of you to gamble your life for food.”

Ryan nodded thoughtfully, and he had some vague guesses in his mind. These cases were not irregular, but they had not been discovered yet.

He plans to find time to borrow some related books from the library, and then conduct a batch of controlled experiments to see if he can discover any rules.

Professor McGonagall continued: "Except for the first four exceptions, the last magical beast is a restriction specifically for human body transformation, which also includes Animagus transformation."

She retracted her body and quickly shrank, turning into a tabby cat. She then jumped up slightly and returned to her human form, leaving the little wizards in awe.

"There are many wizards who have completely lost their human form due to transforming into magical animals and will never be able to change back." Professor McGonagall said, "If any of you want to practice Animagus in the future, you must remember that there must be a The Master of Transfiguration is present to avoid irreversible consequences.”

She glanced at Ryan again. McGonagall knew very well how important this little wizard was to Dumbledore, so she didn't want him to make any mistakes.

After explaining Gamp's Law of Transformation, Professor McGonagall gave everyone a match, and then told a series of complicated and difficult transformation theories before asking the little wizards to take out their wands and try to turn the match into a needle.

Ryan tried his best to imagine the appearance of the sewing needle in his mind. In order to eliminate the interference, he used all kinds of mental tricks.

"Akus."

The match reacted immediately, one end became pointed, the other became thinner and longer, and soon it looked like a sewing needle, with even the small hole at the end of the needle clearly visible.

Professor McGonagall stood next to Ryan for a long time, shocked and speechless.

Justin originally wanted to ask Ryan the secret to his success, but with Professor McGonagall nearby, he did not dare to speak.

Ryan picked up the sewing needle out of curiosity. He tried to bend it, but the needle broke with a click. The transformation spell also lost its effect and turned back into two matches.

"What are you doing, Franklin?" Professor McGonagall finally spoke.

"Uh, sorry, Professor, I just wanted to verify my conjecture." Ryan said, "In fact, I failed. I only changed the appearance of the match, but did not change its properties. I just turned it into a stick like A match for a needle, not a needle.”

"No, you have done a good job." McGonagall finally understood Dumbledore's praise of Ryan. It was the only time in his life for a young wizard with such a terrifying talent.

She thought for a while before continuing: "Understanding and changing the properties of objects is the content of the advanced class. If you are interested in research in this area, you can apply for my class during the fifth grade entrance exam."

"Thank you, Professor, I'll think about it."

Professor McGonagall nodded, and she continued to inspect the other little wizards with a serious face.

However, her slightly trembling hands still revealed her inner unrest.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall felt Dumbledore's heartache - such a great little wizard, why wasn't he sorted into Gryffindor?

Rian Franklin and Cedric Diggory, two transfiguration geniuses, both entered Hufflepuff.

Damn it, Pomona Sprout got lucky.

Professor McGonagall had never been more jealous of her best friend than she was now.
