Chapter 42: Transformation Club
"You want to learn how to use a wand to conjure an umbrella?" After listening to Albert's words, Professor McGonagall's facial muscles trembled slightly, and she stared at him seriously and said, "This is the content of the O.W.L. exam."
"I know, Professor Flitwick told me." Albert nodded to show that he knew, "However, I don't think this will prevent me from learning to master it."
"It is not a good habit to be too ambitious, especially Transfiguration, which is more rigorous than other disciplines." Professor McGonagall obviously did not want to tell Albert about the summoning technique, especially after the experience of being dismantled last time, "You There are still a lot of things that need to be learned before you can really come into contact with this aspect.”
"Oh, okay." Albert thought for a while and asked, "Then can I ask, what level of knowledge does summoning require?"
“Fifth grade knowledge.” Professor McGonagall replied casually.
"Okay, I understand, Professor." Albert nodded and turned around to leave. Since Professor McGonagall didn't teach, he could borrow a book by himself, or buy a book from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to teach himself.
What does it mean you know?
What exactly do you know?
Professor McGonagall felt a headache, and her intuition told her that Albert might try to master the summoning technique on his own, which was undoubtedly a very bad thing.
“Mr. Anderson.” Professor McGonagall quickly called out to Albert.
"What's the matter, Professor McGonagall?" Albert stopped and turned his head in confusion.
He certainly didn't think Professor McGonagall had changed her mind.
“Tell me honestly, how far have you learned the art of transfiguration?” Professor McGonagall waved at him and asked after Albert returned.
“To what extent?” Albert reached out and touched his chin, and then secretly glanced at his Level 1 Transformation Technique.
To be honest, he doesn’t know what level he has reached.
“Probably…I’ve almost finished studying this book!”
"We've almost learned it!" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard?
“I have been practicing transfiguration and spells before school started.” Albert muttered softly: “As long as you practice more, magic is actually not as difficult as you think.”
"Isn't it as difficult as you thought?" Professor McGonagall felt like her whole body was shaking. She took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said to Albert: "Mr. Anderson, if you can turn a match into a Rat, I allow you to join my shapeshifting club.”
"Transfiguration Club?" Albert looked confused. He admitted that his memory of the book "Harry Potter" was indeed a bit vague, but it seemed... indeed... there was never a Transfiguration Club... Well, yes, it never happened. This club is just a slug club.
“That’s a club I formed. We meet twice a week to discuss and study content related to transfiguration.” Professor McGonagall explained.
Albert glanced at the match, then at Professor McGonagall, and nodded to show that he understood. He raised his wand and began to concentrate on chanting the spell. The match grew in size visible to the naked eye and turned into a mouse, but The transformation was not complete because one of the mouse's legs was lame.
Hmm, a lame rat, but it’s a rat.
Albert looked at the lame mouse, shook his head helplessly and said: "I have never tried to turn an item into a creature. This is much more difficult than converting between items. Maybe I can succeed after a few attempts. "
Although this is the first time that Albert has made changes between objects and creatures, the theory of transformation provides him with theoretical support.
It is a bit difficult to succeed the first time, but Albert is very satisfied with his results. As long as he practices a few more times, the chance of complete success will increase.
"No, you're qualified!" Professor McGonagall took out her wand and clicked on the lame mouse, making the poor little guy look like a match again.
"Qualified?" Albert was actually not surprised, which meant that she had joined Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club.
As for, why does he dare to be sure?
Of course it is the prompt of the panel.
One minute ago, the task of joining the Transformation Club that just appeared has been completed.
“I suggest you read more books.” Professor McGonagall recommended a few books to Albert. Obviously, he didn’t want him to try transfiguration randomly. After all, transfiguration is actually quite dangerous.
"Okay, I understand." Albert nodded. He had to read a hundred books anyway. He just hoped that the books would not be too thin.
"What are you talking about with Professor McGonagall?" Fred couldn't help but ask after Albert reunited with his roommates.
“Ask about summoning.” Albert explained, “However, Professor McGonagall thinks it’s too early to learn it now. By the way, she also invited me to join her Transfiguration Club.”
“Transformation Club?” the three of them said in unison. "what is that?"
“I heard that Professor McGonagall established the club himself.” Albert thought for a while and said, “Let’s discuss and study things related to Transfiguration together.”
“Are you kidding?” When the twins heard Albert’s words, they were so surprised that they were speechless.
“You are so awesome, so enviable.” Li Qiaodan was a little jealous. This was undoubtedly the dean’s special care for Albert.
“Ahem.” George coughed lightly and changed the subject. "By the way, do you two want to go to the Quidditch pitch with us later?"
“It would be nice to try flying before taking flying lessons,” Fred agreed. “Charlie won’t mind having two more people for testing.”
“Are you going, Albert?” Li Jordan asked.
“It would be good if it could be tested.” Albert agreed.
Fly freely.
There is a little bit of expectation!
Although I rode a toy broom once, it was actually very boring.
The time agreed upon by both parties is 4:30 pm, and it is still a long time before 4 o'clock.
Albert was going to the library to read. He made an appointment with the three of them to meet in the auditorium, and then went to the library alone.
"Now, what should we do?" Li Qiaodan asked, looking at Albert's leaving back.
“Going out for a walk?” George pointed outside the castle. This idea was approved by the other two people.
When Albert came to the library, he found that there were still only two or three kittens here. He found a seat and sat down. Using the cover of reading a book, he opened the mission panel and joined the Transfiguration Club mission, which provided Albert with 2,000 experience points.
“A level 2 skill?” He murmured in his mind. It took exactly 2,000 experience points to upgrade from level 1 to level 2. Albert casually upgraded the transformation theory to level 2.
Level 2 deformation theory should be enough for him to use until graduation. As for level 3, that already belongs to the category of professors.
