Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 5 Transfiguration

He was the first to get up in their dormitory. He got dressed before 7 o'clock, took his wand and "Transfiguration: Year One" and went out.He didn't want to be late for the first class, and it was Professor McGonagall's class (he had inquired that the Vice Principal of Hogwarts would teach them in the next seven years).

He had just arrived in the Gryffindor common room when he saw Aurora and Hermione discussing what might be today's lesson.

"Why has it never been successful?" Aurora said anxiously.

"I'm not much better than you" Hermione was also very depressed.

"At least your little wooden stick has become a little sharper." Aurora was a little unwilling.

"Merlin, you are too fast," Winters shouted.

"Our Transfiguration teacher is McGonagall, who is very strict. I don't want to be deducted points." Hermione was very anxious.

"By the way, Winters, haven't you always been able to conjure all kinds of things before? Come and try it," Aurora said.

"What, why didn't you sue me?" Hermione shouted. Hermione's shout attracted several senior students with dark circles under their eyes.

"I was too tired yesterday," Aurora said apologetically.

"I...Okay...I'll give it a try."

Winters imagined the shape of the needle, its different lustres in moonlight and sunlight.There was still a sense of touch, and then with a wave of the magic wand, a steel needle appeared out of thin air, and everyone around him was stunned.

"Man...have you really never learned magic?" a senior student said in disbelief.

"Can you... give me another demonstration?" a boy said almost pleadingly.

Winters thought of those steel birds, or tungsten birds. He imagined those steel birds of prey soaring in the sky, and then waved his wand widely, feeling the pulse of magic.The air in the auditorium began to flow rapidly and condense, and then a steel golden eagle with a wingspan of 6 meters suddenly appeared in the auditorium. This giant steel golden eagle was actually alive.It scanned the surroundings majestically, and the people around it were stunned.

"What are you..." A senior girl was speechless.

"Imagine? The more vivid the picture, the better."

"That's it?"

"Well...it's not difficult. I'm sure most people in this school can do it," Winters said.

Because more and more people gathered, he was afraid that something would happen, and he was ready to turn the steel giant back into the air again.Then he imagined that the golden eagle turned into a mist with a little moisture, and then waved the wand again, and the steel giant made a pop sound and turned into a moist mist that floated away. "...Forget it, you'll understand when you go to class," a girl with dark circles under her eyes said blankly.

Their Transfiguration class was taken with Slytherin, and there were six classes. Their class was taught by Professor McGonagall. Professor Malanth had retired, and McGonagall wanted to teach the Transfiguration class.

As soon as they entered the classroom, they found that Professor McGonagall was not there. There was only a tabby cat on the podium in the entire classroom, but Winters found that there was something strange about the tabby cat.He walked over little by little, and he was surprised to find that this cat actually had magical powers.

"Is there something wrong with that cat?" Aurora asked.

"Is Transfiguration class today?" Winters asked.

"Today is Transfiguration class, why..." Hermione seemed to understand something.

"It's 8:40 now, we have class at nine," Winters said to himself.But he kept looking at the spotted cat. "This is Professor McGonagall." Winters raised his head.

"This cat?" Neville asked in surprise.

"If I guessed correctly, this cat is Professor McGonagall. The magical rhythm on this cat is very similar to the rhythm of my magic that turned the air into steel needles and iron birds in the auditorium, but this rhythm or the source of the pulsation It’s not about the cat itself, not externally imposed.” As soon as Winters finished speaking, the spotted cat jumped forward slightly and turned into Professor McGonagall, which shocked everyone including Winters. "I think today's teaching task will be easy," McGonagall said seriously but with a smile.

"You are really talented, Mr. Renault," Winters said, feeling embarrassed. "I was just guessing, Professor McGonagall."

"Don't be proud, Mr. Renault. Magic is ever-changing and never-ending. Talent alone is not enough," Professor McGonagall said seriously. "It's almost time. It's time for class. Turn to page 7. I'll give you a preliminary explanation of the theory of transfiguration," McGonagall said.

Winters was jotting down notes at full speed, almost holding the microphone

Everything Professor Ge said was written down. "Okay, let's start practicing. Turn the match into a needle. Ask questions when you encounter them. I will start checking 20 minutes before get out of class ends. If I don't pass the test, I have to write a 100-word essay on my experience," Mag said.

Winters looked at his match, imagining what a needle would look like, and then with a wave of his wand, the match turned into a needle, no different from an ordinary needle, and could easily leave marks on the wooden table.

Aurora is a little stronger than Hermione. Although she can turn into a needle, it can only last for a few seconds.And Hermione had to keep pointing her wand at the match to keep it looking like a needle.Elena was the second to turn the match into a needle, and her face still looked bad.Malfoy stared at his match with a red face, while Neville was more straightforward and had already begun to formulate his thoughts.

Winters looked at his watch. It was already 9:40, and Professor McGonagall had turned into the tabby cat again.But Harry and Ron still didn't come. "Are you lost?" Just as Winters was guessing.Harry and Ron came, they were panting, "It seems that Professor McGonagall hasn't come yet" Ron gasped.As soon as he finished speaking, Professor McGonagall changed again.

"It seems I need to turn one of you two into a watch or a map." McGonagall looked at Ron and Harry seriously.

"We..." Harry didn't know what to say.

"Why don't you find a seat and sit down immediately?" Professor McGonagall asked sternly.Harry and Ron immediately sat down on the empty seats in despair.As expected, they will definitely write down their thoughts today.

At 10:10, McGonagall began to check their results. Winters had nothing to do and copied a lot of steel needles. Then he turned one of these steel needles into the size of a house cat. gryphon.He didn't even notice that Mag was staring at him.

"Very good, Mr. Renault, you are one of the few people who don't have to write down your experience today."

Before Winters had time to be happy, Professor McGonagall changed the subject:

"But you have to help Harry, Ron and Neville turn matches into needles, otherwise I will ask you to write 300 words of your experience." Winters' joy was fleeting.

"Wait a minute, Professor, this... I shouldn't show off."

"This has nothing to do with showing off, it's just a matter of effort."

"Look at me in the auditorium this morning..."

"The key to sharing knowledge is Mr. Renault." Professor McGonagall completely made Winters lose his temper.

When get out of class was over, a bunch of people surrounded Winters, and he finally ran away with the excuse that he had a stomachache. "I'm just looking for trouble," Winters thought depressedly.He looked at his watch and found that it was already 11 o'clock. There were classes in the afternoon and he should be able to take a nap after dinner.

As soon as he turned a corner, he heard Aurora's voice.

"Whatever you think, my brother will help me, you weirdo"

"Who are you calling a weirdo?" was Elena's voice.

"You are a weirdo. Your face is as white as a piece of paper, as if you are too much." Aurora was very angry. "I just asked you all the way, and you told me this is a talent?"

"This is indeed a talent. Why should I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask your brother." Elena was also very angry.

"Come on, you are explaining the nobility of pure blood."

"When did I say anything about my bloodline? I swear to Merlin, I never said a word about my bloodline." Elena became anxious.

"Swear to Merlin? I think you swore to the mysterious man" Aurora was furious and strode towards here.Winters found that it was too late to run, so he could only pretend to be passing by.

"Well...how are you feeling today?" He tried to be as sincere as possible.

"You heard it," Aurora said angrily.

"As expected of my sister." Winters saw that he could no longer hide it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Aurora, transfiguration is about imagination first. You have to concentrate on thinking, feel your magic, and feel the texture and characteristics of the object you are thinking about. Winters thought about the appearance of the steel gears, and then waved his wand. A steel pinion appeared out of thin air from the rapidly condensing air.

"Now, you are concentrating on thinking about steel rings of the same size. Try it out."

Aurora looked at the gear intently, then pointed with the wand, and then waved the wand. The result was still the same as before, it could only last a few seconds, but she was still dissatisfied.

"I'm going to the library." After saying that, he picked up his schoolbag and left angrily.

"Well...she is actually a very easy person to get along with, but she is a bit impatient and a bit competitive," Winters said awkwardly.Aurora has always been like this, not a person who gives up easily.

"Of course, I can see it, but you are really talented, you should help her, and of course your roommates," Elena said.

"Are you really okay? I remember your face was very bad when we were in Diagon Alley, but it hasn't changed much now," Winters asked.

Elena's face was as pale as ever. "I'm fine, as long as I take my medicine on time, I'll be fine," Elena said with a smile, but her voice was weak.Winters thought she was hiding something, but he couldn't ask more questions because of the privacy involved.

"I'm going to the auditorium. I've caused enough trouble today. So... I wish you a speedy recovery," Winters said.

After Winters went to the auditorium, he always found people staring at him and whispering. This feeling was quite unpleasant.

"Winters" is Hermione.Next to her sat Ron and Harry.

"How did you do it today? You must help us, we are so bad," Hermione said anxiously.

"Yeah, why can't Harry and I? Hermione almost tore through the Transfiguration Guide," Ron said with a grimace.Harry stared at the match without saying a word. The match was very stubborn and did not change at all.

"How should I explain... just practice more?" Winters thought to himself.

"I...I really don't know. My method may not be of any use to you, but practicing more and reading more books will definitely help. I think the most important thing is to concentrate on imagination, at least for myself." He only said That’s all I can say.

"You are so awesome." Winters turned around and saw Slyer walking over with a group of Hufflepuff students.

"These are all my roommates. They are all surprised that I, a person whose whole family has been in Slytherin, came to Hufflepuff."

"I'm McClain"

"I'm Smith"

"I'm Ernie"

"We really didn't expect you to come to Hufflepuff, your parents won't be unhappy, right?"

"My parents don't care at all. They all say that as long as I grow up smoothly and don't go astray," Slaer shrugged. "Our Transfiguration teacher, Professor Karlan, heard about your performance. The professor was very excited," Slyer said.

"How are you doing," Winters asked Slyer.

"I can turn a match into a needle, but... I can only change part of it."

"The top half is a needle and the bottom half is match wood," Ernie said with a smile.

"But it's not bad," Smith recalled. "Unlike me, I can only make the match head a little sharper." Smith shook his head.

"We'd better prepare to write down our experience," McClain said with a grimace.

"Why is that..." Hermione yelled suddenly.

"She did it" Harry and Ron shouted together.

This time, there was no need to keep pointing the wand at the match. It might last for more than 10 minutes, and then with a pop, a burst of blue mist was released, and the needle turned back into a match.

"I understand," Hermione said. "You are right, Winters. It does require sufficient imagination. Although I don't understand how to feel magic yet, I can do it with more practice."

"Then can you help me teach Harry, Ron and Neville?" Winters asked sincerely.

"Of course, but you have to give me some assistance," Hermione agreed simply.

"Assistance...you mean you need a teaching assistant?"

"That's what I mean, let's meet in the common room at 8:00 pm" Hermione stood up.

"Of course, thank you so much," Winters said excitedly.The afternoon Charms class was taught by Professor Flitwick, who shouted excitedly as soon as he heard Harry Potter's name.

The spell they learned today was a very practical fluorescent spell. Levi said that as long as the wand was waved correctly and the spell was recited clearly, it would be successful. As a result, everyone except Neville succeeded.And Aurora seemed to light a big light bulb to demonstrate to Elena.

"Today's class is very fulfilling, Neville will stay for a while," Flitwick said. Fifteen minutes later, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was taught by Rocky. The classroom smelled of garlic, and Professor Rocky's funny purple turban never came off.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the common room was filled with the sound of pens and papers being scraped together, and the sounds of students practicing spells.

Hermione continued to look through the book and Winters' class notes, asking various questions from time to time, and then answering these questions.

Harry, Neville, and Ron all listened with rapt attention, and even Aurora joined in. Although Winters was holding back a yawn, it had to be said that Ron, Harry, Aurora, and Neville all There was some progress, and Winters was relieved.

Unknowingly, it was already 09:30. "We should withdraw, otherwise we will lose points," Aurora reminded.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect it to be so late, so go back and practice more," Hermione said, looking at Winters' roommates.

After Hermione and Aurora walked away, Ron said: "Hermione seems to enjoy educating others. This person is really unbearable."

"But she helped us after all, didn't she?" Harry said, while Neville remained silent, seeming to be still thinking about the small class just now.
