Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 310: One-day trip to Gryffindor

“The most important thing about transfiguration is that your belief must be firm enough, and you must also have a sufficient understanding of the goal.”

 In the Room of Requirement, Kyle turned a table into a small stone statue half a meter high, and controlled it to chop the apple in front of him in half.

Not far away, Hermione took down Kyle's words carefully and even took notes...

In fact, Kyle originally wanted to go to the flower garden to see the poisonous tentacles, but he definitely couldn't say that in front of Hermione, so he just made an excuse and said that he wanted to practice transfiguration.

But Kyle forgot that Hermione was different from Harry and Ron. She was a top student, and she was also a curious top student.

She has already seen Kyle's ability in transformation in the Duel Club.

That was also the first time Hermione intuitively felt how big the gap between herself and Kyle was.

Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps because she was worried that Kyle would discover the secret of their brewing polyjuice potion, Hermione immediately expressed her desire to follow them and visit and learn from them.

 And the attitude is very sincere.

Keir was numb, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he could only agree to Hermione's request.

 So it ended up like this... He was forced to practice the transformation technique for more than half an hour in an empty room.

 “It’s not as difficult as you think.”

Kyle picked up half an apple on the ground, took a bite, and handed the other half to Hermione.

“I suggest that you observe more of the things around you and gain a deeper understanding of their specific structures... Of course, I don’t mean seeing with your eyes, but using magic power.”

Hermione also took a bite of the apple and said thoughtfully: "Like those stone statues that you transformed into?"

 “A little more simple, just an apple or a table, slippers or something like that.”

Kyle shook his head, "Those stone statues are all magical creations of some kind, and even involve ancient alchemy. It's difficult to use magic to analyze their structure...at least I can't do it yet."

"Actually, what I transformed into was not a stone statue, but an armor that looked like a stone statue."

After Kyle's reminder, Hermione discovered that the half-meter-high "stone statue" did have many gaps like those in armor, but they were well hidden and difficult to spot without looking carefully.

 “Did you learn this from the Transfiguration Club?”

Hermione asked: "I heard from Fred and George that you joined Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club. What was it like...is it the same as the Dueling Club?"

“The number of students is much smaller, and it is only for third-year students and above. Professor McGonagall will teach a lot of content other than exams. It can be regarded as an improvement class for the Transfiguration class.”

Kyle explained: "As for the rest, I can't say too much, otherwise it will be too revealing, which is not allowed by Professor McGonagall."

Hermione looked a little regretful.

"I'm ready to go back." Kyle simply packed up his things and asked, "Do you want to continue to stay here?"

"No." Hermione shook her head, "Harry and Ron and I have agreed that we will go to the library to do homework today."

 The two left the Room of Requirement together.

Kyle wanted to wait for Hermione to go back before turning back, but as soon as he reached the stairs, he met Fred and George.

 Each of them was holding a large amount of food, and they must have just been to the kitchen.

 “Kyle, why are you here!”

Fred said in surprise: "We went to look for you at the door of the Hufflepuff common room."

"I ended up being drenched in vinegar!" George wrinkled his nose, "That feeling is really terrible. I don't like this Christmas gift at all."

The two of them had a faint sour smell, but their clothes and hair were dry, so they must have been cleaned with magic spells before.

“You happen to be here, come with us.”

 “Christmas is fun when everyone is together!”

 The two of them came to Kyle's side, one on the left and the other on the right, and led him forward without any explanation.

The Gryffindor common room is also on the eighth floor. It is very close. Several people soon came to a huge portrait.

 The portrait is of a fat lady who looks very kind.

 “The password,” she said.     "The sound of nature."

 “Thank you for the compliment...” the fat lady opened the passage happily.

 “What did she just say?” Kyle asked doubtfully.

"The Fat Lady likes to sing," said Fred, "but she obviously has no talent for it."

“In the end, she changed the password to this.” George laughed: “Every time we come back, it’s like we’re praising her for singing well.”

 “Never mind it, Kyle.”

Fred crossed the aisle first, opened his hands and laughed: "Welcome to the Gryffindor common room."

 Normally, students are not allowed to go to other colleges, but now it is the holiday...no one cares about this.

Kyle was pushed in by George.

This is a bright, round room with a red main color, a high ceiling, and soft armchairs surrounding it.

 “How do you feel?” Fred asked with a smile.

“It’s great,” Kyle said. “But it’s a little smaller than I expected.”

“Is the Hufflepuff common room big?” Hermione finally walked in and asked curiously,

Kyle nodded, "It's much bigger than here, but the ceiling is lower."

“After all, the position is different.” George sat on an armchair.

They still know a little bit about this. There are only kitchens and the Hufflepuff common room in the area below. It is normal for the area to be larger.

 Hermione nodded and didn't care.

 She looked around and asked, "Where are Harry and Ron?"

"I don't know, they probably haven't gotten up yet." Fred said, "I think they probably want to sleep until noon."

 “Oh, that’s not possible! We still have a lot of homework to do.”

Hermione frowned and rushed into the boys' dormitory in a hurry.

“I don’t think Ron wants to do his homework on the first day of vacation.”

George handed a piece of sandwich to Kyle, "By the way, Kyle, we have already inquired about what you told us before."

"What?"

George took a bite of the sandwich and said, "Remember when you told us before that the various behaviors of the successor to the secret room will definitely become different from before?"

Kyle nodded.

He remembered that he did say this casually during the chat before, but he didn't expect that Fred and George would actually investigate...

 “Have you found who it is?” Kyle asked.

 “There is none…or it is impossible to find it at all.”

Fred sighed.

“There were three attacks on the castle. Because of panic, almost everyone behaved differently than usual... They can’t all be the heirs who opened the secret room.”

"Just like Ron..." George glanced in the direction of the dormitory, "In addition to doing homework, they almost never go to the library..."

"But recently, he ran there right after class and didn't come back until before curfew...I even suspected that Ron was controlled by the Imperius Curse."

 “Shut up, Fred!”

At this time, Ron happened to come to the common room while rubbing his eyes. He sat on an armchair and said angrily: "If you were regarded by everyone as the one who opened the secret room, you would also go to the library... At least there won’t be anyone staring at you strangely all the time.”
