Chapter 53 Unscientific
“This way, this way!” Lee Jordan waved to the twins who had just entered the hall, “You are finally willing to show up.”
“Why are you all here?” George sat next to Lee Jordan and said hello to the others.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Li Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes at the two of them and said, "Dinner time, you said we don't have dinner here, where else can we go?"
“That’s right, please pass me the jam, thank you.” Fred spread a lot of jam on the bread slices, took a big bite and asked, “What was taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning?”
“Half of the class was about dark creatures, and the rest of the class was for us to practice how to fire red and green sparks.” The person who answered him was not Li Jordan, but Angelina sitting opposite them. The future Quidditch captain was looking at the twin brothers with a critical eye, "I heard that you deducted thirty points from Gryffindor this morning, deducting all the points that Albert got during this period."
Fred poked a piece of potato with his fork into his mouth and muttered, "We only deducted twenty points."
“Ten points deducted for History of Magic.” Albert raised his head and looked at the twins and asked, “Where did you go this afternoon?”
“Secret!” Fred and George looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Li Jordan seemed to remember something and said to the Weasley brothers, "Filch asked me to tell you that your confinement will be tomorrow night in the trophy room."
"It seems that you don't need to wash the chamber pot anymore. This time you will clean the trophy instead." After finishing the meal, Albert took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth and suddenly said, "By the way, I met that William not long ago. He It looks like I just finished washing the chamber pot in the school hospital.”
“Please don’t talk about these things during meal time.” Shanna glanced at Albert angrily and complained, “That will affect everyone’s appetite.”
“I remember there was an astronomy class in the evening.” Aaliyah changed the subject with difficulty, “Which of you has been to the Astronomy Tower?”
"Don't look at me, I've never been there." Li Qiaodan shook his head first and said, "By the way, what time does the astronomy class start in the evening?"
“Starts at 9.30.” Albert said as he glanced at the course schedule.
“So late?” Angelina took out her class schedule from her backpack and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was indeed at this time.
You know, Hogwarts has a curfew at 11 o'clock.
“Don’t worry, we went to the top of the Astronomy Tower at noon.”
"That's great!" Albert nodded towards the twins and said, "You will be responsible for leading the way for everyone later. Don't forget to bring your binoculars. By the way, notes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magic."
As he spoke, Albert took out two books from his schoolbag and placed them on the table.
“I’ll do it first!” Li Qiaodan reached out to the book.
“We can each copy one subject and take turns copying later.” The twins moved faster than Li Qiaodan.
Compared to borrowing notes from others, Albert's notes on the history of magic are obviously more reliable.
"you…"
“Ahem, how are you mastering the luminous spell? There seems to be a Transfiguration class and a Charms class tomorrow.” Aaliya glanced at the undisciplined twins and continued, “My matches haven’t changed much yet.”
"Sanna, how are you doing with your two spells? By the way, you almost forgot the two spells in Defense Against the Dark Arts." Angelina was a little angry. She hadn't made any progress with her matches yet. It’s just that I didn’t put much time and energy into practicing magic during this period.
"I have only mastered the Luminous Spell." Shanna couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing everyone's situation. She had been practicing the Luminous Spell these days and had barely mastered it.
"Don't worry." Albert comforted, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will leave time for us in class. Of course, you can practice on the weekends."
Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said to himself: "I'm so jealous, you can just practice hard."
“What about you?” George asked the roommate next to him.
“Well, I’ve almost mastered the luminous spell. However, the transformation technique is really difficult.” Li Qiaodan thought about the difficulty of the transformation technique and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Lee, when did you master the glowing spell?" Fred and George both looked at their roommate in surprise.
Have we agreed that everyone is at the same level? Why did you sneak away by yourself?
"Last night...I was practicing the luminous spell, okay." Li Qiaodan said angrily.
“Sure enough, it’s more difficult to do the transfiguration?” Aaliya looked up at Albert. Others also looked at Albert.
Albert was speechless for a moment: What do you think I am doing?
“I want you to teach everyone.” Fred put his arms around Albert’s neck and said, “Do you have any tips?”
"There is no secret, it just requires everyone to practice." Albert said helplessly: "Professor McGonagall also mentioned the things that need to be paid attention to."
It's just that when practicing, remember that you need to concentrate when transforming, you need to be neat when waving the wand, and the spells you say need to be correct.
Of course, learning the art of transfiguration requires your own efforts.
Actually, there are some things that Albert didn’t say: Unless you also have a panel like me.
At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone regrouped in the auditorium and prepared to practice spells together.
However, everyone found that they had no matches. In the end, George broke off some twigs from outside to use as matches.
“Ahem, you can actually turn branches into matches.” Alia reminded.
“That’s a good idea.” Others agreed.
"VeraVerto." Albert twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed softly, picked up the wand and tapped it lightly on the twig, immediately turning it into a match.
“Copy into pairs!”
Albert copied a few more matches and distributed them to others for practice.
Professor McGonagall said that Transfiguration was a difficult subject, and he was right. Until he went to the astronomy class, no one had succeeded in making a match change.
“This is unscientific, why is it so difficult!” Shanna couldn’t help complaining.
"Of course it's not scientific, after all, it's magic!" Albert wanted to complain, but in the end he held it back.
When a girl walked by, she happened to hear a few people complaining, so she stayed beside Albert for a moment and said to everyone: "Transfiguration itself is difficult. If you don't spend a few days practicing it, if you want to do it in one fell swoop, Success is hard, especially for freshmen who are new to magic.”
“Good evening, Katrina.”
Katrina just nodded to Albert and walked away.
“I wish we didn’t have our astronomy class with Ravenclaw,” Angelina muttered. She didn’t like the guy very much.
"Some people in Ravenclaw have weird tempers, and our astronomy class is with Hufflepuff students." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, raised his head and said to everyone: "Okay , we should go, be careful not to be late."
