Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

The next day

Second floor of the main castle

Transfiguration Office

tuk tuk-

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, but there was no one there.

Phoenix Fox lowered his head lazily, then narrowed his eyes.

At the desk, Professor Dumbledore was flipping through an ancient book, which was given to him by the alchemist Nicole Flamel.

Ok?

Dumbledore put down the book, somewhat surprised.

Then, his blue eyes reflected a sharp and wise light.

"Ah! It's Xifa!"

Dumbledore looked a little surprised.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore!"

The figure of Sifa appeared, he closed the door, and walked quickly to the desk.

"Come, sit!"

Professor Dumbledore took out a stick from the drawer and handed it to Sifer.

Then he looked at Xifa with interested eyes.

After mastering the Illusion Curse, how far can Transfiguration be done?

Xifa took the stick, he couldn't laugh or cry.

I have the idea of ​​showing my strength to the professor, and the professor immediately arranges it.

Fortunately, my transformation technique is not bad.

If the professor gave me a book, I would still have a headache.A wooden stick, turning into a wooden chair is not too much of a problem.

Sifer drew out his wand.

"Quick Transformation"

The wooden stick is twisted and stretched to become a simple style chair.

Sifa sat on the chair, and the chair creaked.

He's a little awkward, still a little rusty, with less precision.

"Hehe, it's okay, just practice more."

Dumbledore comforted him.

"I asked you to come to the office this morning, didn't it disturb your life?"

"No, Professor."

Xifa touched his nose in embarrassment, his scalp was a little numb.

Because Dumbledore didn't look right at him.

Fortunately, the following conversation was normal. Dumbledore explained to himself his mistakes in work and asked Elise to meet him privately. Sifer quickly waved his hand and said he didn't mind.

Seeing that Sifa didn't hold any grudges, Dumbledore asked Sifa if he was used to his daily life.

In short, something was wrong with Professor Dumbledore, as if he was testing himself.

Xifa thought for a while, he didn't want to practice Tai Chi, wasting time, he still had a lot of things to do.

It's not that we have reached a bottleneck and need to ease up and find the most critical sliver of inspiration.

"Professor, if you want to ask me anything on your mind, just speak up."

Professor Dumbledore saw that Sifa was looking directly at him without avoiding it, and there was no guard or hostility in his eyes.

He was very relieved in his heart, but he still asked uneasy.

"Sifa, where did you learn the Illusion Curse? With all due respect, I originally called you here, but I just wanted to ask if you are suitable for integrating into the magic world. If you have any questions, I will help you."

Xifa understood that he was a real Muggle-born, not a lonely nobleman from his ancestors.

Professor Dumbledore won the top student spot for himself, probably because he saw the scene where he cast spells without a stick, and he cherished his talents.

But when he revealed that he knew the Disillusionment Curse, the professor was probably worried that he would be won over by a pure blood.

"Restricted Section, Professor. Here's the thing..."

Cifer tells how Luna threatened Professor Slughorn.

"This Horace..."

After listening to what happened.For a while, Professor Dumbledore didn't know how to save Professor Slughorn's face.

"Besides the Illusion Curse, what forbidden technique did you choose?"

"The Patronus Charm and Occlumency."

Xifa replied without hesitation.

After speaking, he looked at Professor Dumbledore with shining eyes.He wanted Professor Dumbledore to give them some advice.

Because, they currently have no progress in learning these two magics.

Professor Dumbledore did not answer, but pushed the glass in front of him to Sifa.

"Give it a try and turn it into a wooden chair."

Dumbledore found Sifer's Transfiguration a little strange.

He wanted to try again.

"Professor, I can't do it."

"It's okay, try it. There are too many students in the class, I didn't pay attention, I just made some new discoveries."

Xifa was helpless, he knew that there was a big problem with his cross-material transformation.

He took out his wand again and pointed to the glass in front of him.

"Quick Transformation"

The change of the glass is like pressing the slow-motion button.

After waiting for a while, the transformation ended.

After the end, Xifa wished that he failed to cast the spell, and the glass remained unchanged...

For the glass became a twisted monstrosity with four legs.

In Xifa's mind, the idea that he could still make up for it rose.

He pointed again and again at the monstrosity with his wand.

In the end, Glass couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to blew himself up.

Dumbledore stopped the fragment with a wave of his hand.

The shards are then restored to the original glass.

"Sifa, what you're doing is very dangerous. Your understanding of Transfiguration is completely wrong."

Hearing this, Sifer looked up at Dumbledore in surprise.

"I don't understand, Professor?"

To show Sifa the difference.

Dumbledore produced another glass.

"You transform one, I transform the other."

Unsurprisingly, Sifer was still a monstrosity, and Dumbledore's glass was transformed into an exquisite wooden chair.

"Alright!"

After speaking, Dumbledore threw the two objects to the ground respectively.

Sifa's monstrosity became a wreck of glass shards and wooden splinters.

However, the wooden chair that the professor turned into turned into the remains of a glass. Even, Xifa felt that these pieces could be used to piece together the original glass.

"Do you understand it?"

Sifa thought about it.

"Yes! Xifa, the deformed thing will return to its original shape when it is damaged. But your transfiguration technique really changed its material, which belongs to the category of alchemy. Just now I restored your wreckage for the first time, I'm sure of that."

"I am very pleased that you can touch the threshold of alchemy without a teacher. If there is a chance, I would like you to recommend a real alchemy master and let him accept you as an apprentice"

"It's far away, now, let me tell you one thing, you have to really understand what is deformation and not sex change."

Dumbledore put his hands under his chin and explained in a slightly serious tone.

"An eagle becomes a cup, and the spell is lifted and it is still a living eagle. And a cup becomes an eagle with signs of life, but you don't know where its heart is."

Dumbledore gave an example as a reference. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of an owl on one side and started the live demonstration directly.

The owl resting on the windowsill was suddenly turned into a cup. Although the professor immediately changed it back, it was still screaming dissatisfied.

However, Dumbledore dismissed it by throwing it a few nuts.The morals are broken all over the place, whoever has food is a father...

"That is, I don't care what it is and what it will become, but tell the other what it should be?"

Inspiration flashed by, and this time, Xifa firmly grasped it.

"Yes, it's a conceptual overlay. This cup, you call it a chair, but it's really a 'cup'."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

I thought to shape the complete structure.

No wonder the deformation of the same material did not feel too difficult.

If you change the material, it is difficult to convert it completely.

"Quick Transformation"

Picking up the wand, Sifer waved the wand and cast a spell on the glass restored by Dumbledore.

It worked, the little glass was successfully turned into a gorgeous sofa.

But the success was sudden, and the sofa appeared on Dumbledore's desk.

Xifa moved it off the table with a levitation spell, and sat on it cheerfully.

"It looks more comfortable than the office chair behind me, Sifer."

Dumbledore's tone was unclear, and he said with a smile as he watched Sifer rolling happily on the sofa.

"Uh--I request to submit this homework assignment, and I implore the professor to give me some pointers."

Xifa was sweating in his heart, and quickly hinted tactfully.

"Well, I accept it. Next, let's talk about other magic."
