[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Chapter 13 Continuing Transformation

Sirius was ready early in the morning to accept all parties' indictments. Sure enough, at breakfast, he received a letter from his family. There was only one line of words in the letter, but there were three big exclamation marks: "Transfer immediately!!!"

Although the letter was not signed, Sirius knew it was Walburga's handwriting.Alas, she must be very angry. If she didn't want the Black family to make a bigger mess, she would probably have already yelled at the letter to serve her.

James was happily looking at the letter at home congratulating him on entering Gryffindor, when he turned around and saw Sirius with a gloomy face and the letter in his hand.The words on the letter were very large, and James saw the word "transfer" at once.He exclaimed: "Transfer!?"

Sirius lowered his head and said sullenly, "I knew she wouldn't let me go like this."

"But, but..." James said anxiously, "Hogwarts can't be transferred, right?"

"how do you know?"

"Well, when I was young, I heard my cousin Harry mention that his mother, Aunt Doria, went to Ravenclaw back then, and she was transferred to a different hospital because the family was not satisfied, but was rejected by the headmaster at the time. Get up, does your Black family have a tradition of wanting their children to be transferred? Aunt Doria is like this, and so are you. It’s really strange. What’s wrong with not being assigned to the same college as most of the family? It seems like this can’t continue It’s like a family member. I was on the platform that day, and I saw a few parents scare the first-year students with the words ‘must go to such and such a college’, but I always thought it was a joke.”

"Are you kidding me? Does my mother look like she's joking?" Sirius said with a sullen face, "Aunt Doria is still a Ravenclaw after all. In my impression, at least in the past 100 years, there have been ten members of the Black family. Eight/nine went to Slytherin, only a handful were sorted into Ravenclaw, no one ever got into the other two houses, the Blacks thought Gryffindor was impulsive, and Hufflepuff Qi is a concentration of fools."

James' eyes widened in shock: "How could they discriminate against Gryffindor and Hufflepuff so much? No wonder Snape said that yesterday."

"Hey!" Sirius didn't know what to do other than sigh, "It seems that if I don't get transferred, my mother will definitely not let it go."

"Then you... really want to transfer?" James asked unhappily.Although he said that Sirius was still friends in Slytherin, if Sirius had already come to Gryffindor and transferred to Slytherin, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Gryffindor?

"Maybe your mother is really scaring you. How can you really hold on to such a small matter as belonging to the college?"

"James," Sirius looked seriously at this friend who hit it off right away, and sighed, "I really like Gryffindor, and I don't want to transfer, I'll give it a try and see if I can convince my mother, But to be honest, I'm really hopeless."

James wanted to say something, but suddenly found a person standing in front of him. Looking up, it was Xia Kelin.

I saw her go straight to talk to Sirius with a stern expression, ignoring herself at all, and said in a bad tone: "Sirris, come out with me, I have something to say to you!"

Sirius's handsome eyebrows were frowned, but he still went out with Xia Kelin. Before going out, he said: "James, don't wait for me, you can go to the classroom first, and help me get a seat by the way."

***********

Outside the auditorium, Sirius and Xia Kelin.

"Sirius, you disappointed me so much, you ended up going to Gryffindor!"

Sirius expected Xia Kelin's reaction, but he was still very disappointed. He didn't know when the quiet but lovely Xia Kelin had gradually disappeared: "You also want to persuade me to transfer?"

"Aunt Walburga did write to me to persuade you to transfer."

Sirius snorted coldly.

"Sirius, don't be like this." Shaklin softened her tone, "I know, you don't like the dullness at home, and you don't want to be bound by the rules, so you desperately want to escape from Black's house and Slytherin. Will Gryffindor really accept you? In their hearts, even if you are assigned to Gryffindor, you are just a poisonous snake who got in with the lions. Your family background is doomed that you will not really gain their trust .And for a group of people who won't really accept you and trust you, you have to risk the price of losing the protection of the whole family. Is it really worth it? In Slytherin, maybe you will be bound by some rules, but you will always be You have a family behind you, but in Gryffindor, once you lose your trust, what are you left with? Can you really afford the consequences?"

Sirius turned pale. Although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that what Xia Kelin said was not unreasonable, but he still felt unwilling to let him give up like this.

"Actually, if you really don't want to enter Slytherin, you can also go to Ravenclaw. Why do you have to stay in Gryffindor? I don't believe that you can't enter Ravenclaw with your IQ."

Sirius felt confused, and he said to Xia Kelin: "I listened to what you said, please let me think about it. Class is about to start, I have to go to the classroom quickly."

Xia Kelin shook her head helplessly as she watched the back of Sirius leaving.I have done everything that needs to be done. Sirius is a person who is soft but not hard, and he has done his best. I hope Sirius can figure it out.

***********

Talk about Slytherin.

Lynn sat at the dining table, drinking creamy soup, while studying the class schedule that had just been sent to them by the dean, Professor Slughorn.Except for the astronomy class every Wednesday night and the two consecutive flight lessons on every other Thursday, their classes are all concentrated in the morning.Charms is given four times a week, Herbs and Potions are taught twice a week, Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts are taught twice a week, and History of Magic is taught only once a week.The dean said that this is only the class schedule for the first two weeks, and after half a month, the first-year freshmen have adapted to life in Hogwarts, and their class load will increase.Today is Thursday, first a Charms class, with Ravenclaw, and then two consecutive Potions classes, with Gryffindor.

While thinking, a girl's voice came into Lynn's ears: "Look, Blake has received a letter from home. I really want to know how his parents will react to him being sorted into Gryffindor, not yelling Believe me, it's such a pity."

The one who said this was Alecto Caro, a stout and even slightly hunchbacked girl. Lynn remembered that she was also in the first grade.What made Lin En want to laugh secretly was that she was so strong, but her voice was delicate, which seemed out of tune at all.

After Carlo finished speaking, Xia Kelin and Narcissa, who were sitting together not far away, frowned.They whispered something, and after a while, Lynn saw Xia Kelin walking towards Sirius and pulling Sirius out of the auditorium.

"I bet ten Galleons that Shaclin Black is going to persuade Sirius Black to transfer." Caro continued.Hall Mulciber, who was sitting next to her, was about to chime in with something when Narcissa interrupted their discussion.

"Don't make any noise while eating," she said sternly.Carlo and Mulciber curled their lips when they heard this, and stopped talking.

It's still early after breakfast.The freshmen from several other colleges were still chatting at the dining table, but most of the first-year Slytherins (including Lynn's roommate Marceline) went back to their dormitories, and Lynn ran to the library on the fourth floor to Borrow the "Pure Blood Guide" that Marceline mentioned last night, which contains the "sacred 28 pure blood" list.Mrs. Pince, the librarian, looked surprised to see a first-year student checking out books early in the morning on the first day of school.However, when she heard what books Lynn was going to borrow, and saw the silver-green name tag on her school robe, she showed a clear look.

Walking out of the library, there are only 08 minutes left before the first class at 30:15.Lynn hurried back to the cellar to get the textbooks for today's class, and hurried to the Charms classroom on the third floor, but when she reached the second floor, she saw Marceline with an anxious face.

"Rozier, what happened?" Lynn stepped forward and asked.

"Nothing happened," Marceline saw Lynn, with a trace of uneasiness on her face, "Since we met, let's go to the History of Magic classroom together." She said and walked forward.

Lin En was silent for a moment, and then said, "Um... I think the stairs to the third floor should be in that direction."

Avril stopped in her tracks, her fair face was slightly flushed, she immediately said: "I know it's over there, just because I saw you suddenly, I forgot all of a sudden." She turned back and pointed at Lynn. stride in the direction.

But when she and Lynn reached the third floor, she started walking in the opposite direction from the correct one.

"Rozier, the stairs turned three-quarters of a turn just now, so the spell classroom should be in this direction..." Lynn reminded again embarrassingly.

Marceline blushed even more this time.After a long time, she finally pulled her face down and said angrily, "Yes, I'm just lost. Why are these damn stairs always moving back and forth!"

Lynn was tempted to say that she didn't see anything wrong with the moving stairs, on the contrary she found it amusing.But she felt that it would not be wise to contradict Marceline at this time. "For freshmen, moving up and down the stairs is really a headache. Let's go, there are 3 minutes to class." She said.

This time Marceline didn't try to be brave, but followed Lynn obediently, looking at her back, thinking.

When Lynn and Marceline arrived at the Charms classroom, there was only half a minute left before the class started, but there were only seven or eight students in the classroom including them.Slytherin, only Shaclyn Black and Andrew Selwyn sat in the second and third rows on the right side of the classroom, and Ravenclaws sat on the left side of the classroom.Seeing this, Avril immediately went to sit next to Xia Kelin, and Lynn also sat next to Avril.Marceline raised her eyebrows seeing Lynn's actions, but said nothing.

Lynn had just taken out the "Standard Spells, Beginner" from his bag when the class bell rang.The little professor of Charms appeared at the door of the classroom on time. Seeing the pitifully small number of students in the classroom, he was not angry at all, but chatted with the classmates who had already arrived.After that, the remaining dozen or so students broke into the classroom one after another panting, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the class hadn't started yet. After 10 minutes, the professor finally stood on the podium and started roll call. Lynn took advantage of the roll call and memorized the names of several Ravenclaw students.

"Hi everyone, I'm your Charms professor, Filius Flitwick. This is your first class after entering Hogwarts, but many of you are late. But it's not surprising. Getting lost in a class is a tradition. When I was a student, I was punished for a week of confinement for this in my first Transfiguration class. Every moment of that week, I wanted to hack those nasty stairs. Firewood. As a professor, for the safety of those stairs, I decided I would never blame students for being late to their first class," Professor Flitwick said, drawing laughter from the students.

"Okay, let's get back to business. First, I want to ask you a question. Can anyone tell me what a spell is and what types it has?"

Anthony Goldstein of Ravenclaw was the first to raise his hand, so Professor Flitwick asked him to answer.

"Spells are wizards who mobilize their own magic power, through the waving of wands and certain pronunciations, to achieve certain magical effects that Muggles cannot achieve. It can be roughly divided into transfiguration, magic spells, counter-spells, and healing spells. , curses, curses and curses, people generally refer to the latter three as black magic."

"That's a good summary, one point for Ravenclaw," said Professor Flitwick.The Ravenclaw students all looked happy, and Lynn heard Alecto Carrow in the back row whisper disdainfully: "It's just following the script, what's there to be proud of."

Lynn felt that Professor Flitwick might have heard Carlo's complaints, because he said, "Of course, this is the most standard answer in the textbook, so, does anyone have anything to add, or any other opinions? "

It was just a question, and none of the students responded, and neither did Carlo.

Professor Flitwick looked a little disappointed. He was about to speak, but Lynn raised his hand hesitantly.He immediately said happily: “Miss Bruce, what do you think about this?”

Lynn stood up and said a little nervously: "As for the definition, I think I can add one more thing, that is, although most spells need to be completed by waving a wand and certain pronunciation, it is not absolute. Thousands of years ago However, wizards have not discovered the magic wand, which can assist in casting spells, but they can still cast spells. Although with the popularity of magic wands, wizards no longer use this primitive and extremely unstable way of casting spells, but it does not It means that this way of casting spells does not exist. Also, I saw that in the catalog of "Standard Spells, Level [-]", there is an entry about silent spells, so I guess, maybe pronunciation is not a prerequisite for spells. As for spells Types, the classification method introduced by Goldstein, I think it is essentially classified by effect, but I think this is not necessarily the only classification method, for example, according to the magical attributes, spells can be divided into wind, Water, fire, and earth mantras can be divided into those that act on people, those that act on objects, those that act on both, and those that act on the soul, etc.

After Lynn finished speaking, there was silence all around.
