Chapter 4079 4081 [Transformation Lesson]
After the herbal medicine class, everyone returned to the castle.
“Friend, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you just now.” James Potter stepped forward and said with a smile, “That move of yours is so cool, what is it about?”
“Massage.” Xiang Nan explained, “It can effectively relieve physical discomfort.”
“I see.” James nodded, “I heard that you lifted two Slytherin students in one move yesterday and hung them in the air?”
“It’s so cool, so awesome, what’s the name?” Sirius Black also said excitedly.
Although their whole family is Slytherin except him, he does not like Slytherins. He is a rebellious person and is happy to see them suffer.
"It's just a simple little spell." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Whoever makes them say bad things about me, if I don't teach them a lesson, they will become more and more excessive."
"Severus, you got into a fight with someone. Fighting is not good." Lily said in surprise.
"There was no fight, they beat me." Xiang Nan explained, "After class, when I went to the library, they ambushed me at the corner and punched me hard."
“Are you injured?” Lily asked quickly.
"I'm fine, I was prepared. I cast a protective spell, and the damage rebounded, but his hand was shaken and dislocated." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“That’s awesome!” James said in admiration.
“Excellent.” Sirius agreed.
"Fortunately, I wasn't caught by the teacher. Points will be deducted for fighting." Lily breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that he was not injured, and then reminded him.
"I know. Unless they take the initiative to provoke me next time, I won't take the initiative." Xiang Nan nodded.
"That's about right." Lily smiled slightly, "What's your next class?"
“Take the Transfiguration class with Slytherin.” Xiang Nan explained.
“Then I wish you good luck, we are going to take the Charms class.” Lily nodded, “I really hope to learn more Charms.”
…
Xiang Nan and other Ravenclaw students then came to the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor.
When I got there, I saw a cat sitting on the desk.
“What a cute cat~” Olivia Davis was delighted to see the cat and wanted to go up and pet it.
Xiang Nan grabbed her and said, "Don't move, this is Professor Minerva McGonagall."
…” Everyone was shocked.
At this time, the Slytherin students also arrived.
Best Mulciber and Samuel Parkinson saw Xiang Nan, their expressions were a little stiff.
Xiang Nan ignored them and sat down with everyone.
Then the cat on the table jumped up, regained its human form in the air, and turned into Professor Minerva McGonagall.
“Wow~” The students were all shocked.
"I am Minerva McGonagall, your professor of Transfiguration." Professor McGonagall introduced herself. "Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you have in your Hogwarts curriculum. Anyone who wants to teach in my class If he gets naughty, I'll ask him out and never let him in again. I've warned you."
Hearing what she said, everyone became energetic.
Olivia was even more fortunate that Xiang Nan caught her in time, otherwise, she would have been kicked out of school on the second day of school.
Afterwards, Professor McGonagall began to take roll call, and then the first class began.
Although transfiguration is also a type of spell, spells include a wider range of spells, such as flying spells, cutting spells, lock-picking spells, fluorescent spells, disembodiment spells, floating spells, etc.
Transformation focuses on transformation, and can not only transform dead objects, but also living objects.
The difference between them is similar to mathematics and physics. The basis of physics is also mathematics. Only by learning spells and magic theory well can you learn transfiguration better. And every Master of Transfiguration is a powerful Master of Charms.
The theory of transfiguration is also very profound, and you need to memorize a large number of transformation formulas, such as Gamp's basic transformation rules, the four element transformation formulas, etc.
European wizards believe that all things in the world are composed of four elements: water, air, fire, and earth. Therefore, through transfiguration, the four elements can be transformed to transform all things.
This is similar to the five elements of "earth, water, fire and wind" advocated by ancient Indian wizards and "metal, wood, water, fire and earth" advocated by Chinese wizards.
…
Xiang Nan listened to these boring and profound theories with great interest.
In fact, he has read a lot of books about transfiguration. But reading thousands of volumes is not as good as a few words of advice from a famous teacher. You may not be able to understand some of the key points if you learn them on your own, but you can figure them out immediately after listening to some advice from an expert.
So he listened with fascination, and from time to time he raised his hand to ask his questions about the transfiguration.
This made Professor McGonagall very happy.
Because she teaches so many students, most of them just want to learn a few transformation spells and change into small things for fun. For example, turn matches into needles, mice into water glasses, and beetles into buttons.
But few students will study the principles and laws of transfiguration.
This makes her, as a master of transfiguration, actually quite lonely.
Because according to her ability, she is equivalent to the academician level in the real world, but now she teaches a bunch of children "one plus one equals two" every day. No matter how much she loves teaching, she will inevitably feel like killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.
Therefore, now that I see that Xiang Nan is interested in transfiguration, and obviously has a deep research on transfiguration, and the questions he asked are all meaningful, and the key points are reached, I can't help but feel very happy, and the explanations become more detailed and profound.
It’s just that the other students are suffering because they can’t understand these arcane, complicated, boring and difficult theories. They all sit there, feeling drowsy while listening, and wish they could just fall asleep.
Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall had no choice but to appease the other students first.
"Okay, Severus, if you still have questions, you can come to my office for advice. I'm available from six to eight in the evening." She smiled at Xiang Nan, "Let's learn how to turn matches into into a needle.”
Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod. On the other hand, those students whose enthusiasm was waning suddenly cheered up.
"When casting a transformation spell, you must not only concentrate and recite the spell correctly, but also outline the shape of the object to be changed in your mind in advance. The clearer and more realistic the outline, the more similar it will be when it changes," Professor McGonagall explained. , and then she demonstrated, "Vera Weitu~"
With a wave of the magic wand, the match turned into a needle, which not only shone with silver, but also had a sharp tip. This immediately lifted the students' spirits, and they all waved their wands and tried it.
However, most people couldn't even change the match slightly. Only Olivia Davis made one end of the match slightly pointier, which earned her a positive look from Professor McGonagall.
“Vera Wei Tu~” Xiang Nan then waved the magic wand.
The match suddenly underwent a magical change. It not only turned into a steel needle, but also had a needle tip and a needle hole, which was very sharp.
“Awesome.” Professor McGonagall was overjoyed to see such an outstanding work, “Ten plus points for Ravenclaw!”
