Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 479 The real invisibility spell

 While eating lunch, Cedric eagerly asked about Professor Moody's teaching level.

"It's exciting!" Mikel said impatiently: "I have a hunch that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be much better than in previous years. Even Lupin... Of course, I'm not saying that Professor Luping is not good, but it's better to deal with it." Compared with the methods of magic spells, those dark magic animals are indeed a bit boring."

 “Oh…I really want to go and see it right away…”

Listening to his description, Cedric felt itchy in his heart, but no, they had to wait until Friday for Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and now he had to go to herbal medicine class outside.

 Cedric hurried downstairs and left, and Kyle also walked into the classroom and began to sort out the textbooks he would use next.

 When class started, Professor McGonagall hurried in.

 She did not start the class directly, but spent nearly fifteen minutes emphasizing the importance of the O.W.L. exam to the whole class.

"You must remember that this exam may affect your future for many years to come!" Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and said with a serious face: "But I think that as long as you invest time and energy, the students in this class will be successful." There is no reason why any student should not receive an O.W.L. certificate in Transfiguration..."

 Emphasis on the importance of exams first, and then affirming students' abilities... Well, this is very Professor McGonagall.

 After fifteen minutes, she finally stopped, picked up the textbook and said.

“Today’s lesson is very important. I hope that each of you can work hard, because what we are going to learn is the most difficult magic in the O.W.L. exam, the disappearing spell..."

 Then, she demonstrated and successfully made a snail disappear on the podium.

 “Aha…”

 Before Professor McGonagall had time to speak, Mikel suddenly let out a weird laugh as if he had taken the wrong magic potion.

 “Mr. Drake!”

Professor McGonagall said in a stern tone: "If you think what I said is ridiculous..."

"Sorry, Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry..." Mikel said quickly, but his face was still a little smug.

“In the last class, Professor Moody asked us to list the black magic, so I mentioned the disappearing spell, but he told me that there was no such magic... This is obviously his mistake, right?”

 This is the first time that he has surpassed a professor in some aspects, and he is also a very famous professor. This makes Mikel excited beyond words.

Professor McGonagall was a little confused, so she walked to Kyle who was nearest to her and asked about what happened in the last class.

 A few minutes later, she stood up again, looked at Mikel and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Drake, but I think Alastor is right. The Vanishing Curse does not belong to the dark arts."

"What?" Mikel said subconsciously: "But that snail just now..."

Before he could say it, Professor McGonagall waved her magic wand again, and the snail that disappeared before magically appeared on the podium again.

“First of all, you must understand why the Vanishing Spell is a transfiguration spell...”

Professor McGonagall explained: "It does not directly make the object disappear like the cleaning spell, but changes it into a state of nothingness. You can also understand it as an invisible ghost or air.

 But essentially, the object itself still exists, and as long as there is a corresponding counter-spell, such as a reduction spell or a restoration spell, it can be rendered ineffective. "

 “Huh?” Mikel stood there blankly with his mouth open.

“Okay, sit down.” Professor McGonagall waved her hand, “I won’t deduct points this time, but next time I hope you can be more rigorous and understand what the definition of black magic is.

Of course, you need to do this work in your free time, and don’t ask me. Don’t forget that it’s Transfiguration class time now. "

 After that, Professor McGonagall gave each person a snail to use as a practice prop.

Kyle looked at the snails on the table and fell into thinking.

To be honest, his attention in the past period has been on cross-species transformation and multiple transformations, and there were too many things happening during the holidays. For a while, he really didn't remember that there was a disappearance spell in transformation.

Everyone started to try, and Kyle also picked up the wand and pointed at the snail like Professor McGonagall did before. However, the snail did not disappear directly. Instead, it changed from gray-brown to gray-white. When Kyle waved the wand again, he successfully made the snail disappear.

 It took two consecutive successes, and Kyle felt that the vanishing spell was almost as difficult as it was after five transformations.

Professor McGonagall, who had been standing beside the students since they started practicing, couldn't help but nod when he saw this.

 “Great, someone has already done it!”

 She said loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

 “As a bonus, ten points for Hufflepuff!”

There was no sound of surprise in the classroom. When everyone heard that it was Hufflepuff and saw Kyle next to her, they all lowered their heads again in surprise.

 Having been classmates with Kyle for five years, they have long been accustomed to this kind of situation.

 Professor McGonagall didn't say anything else. After adding the points, he prepared to go see other people.

"Professor McGonagall, I have a question!" Kyle suddenly stopped her.

 “What?” Professor McGonagall turned around.

Kyle thought for a while and asked: "Can the disappearing spell be used on myself?"

 Ever since Professor McGonagall explained the principle of the disappearing spell, he has been thinking about this issue.

 Turn an object into nothingness but not completely disappear. This is the real invisibility spell.

  In other words, if he uses the disappearing spell on himself, he can come and go freely anywhere.

 Unless the opponent uses a wide range of all-curses, killing curses, fire curses... or dementors or fire dragons will not have any impact on him.

 What’s more important is that this spell has no time limit. You can stay on it for as long as you want.

This is simply another form of invincibility, and Kyle really can't help but be moved.

 “Oh?” Professor McGonagall glanced at him and his eyes flashed.

"When I first came into contact with the disappearing spell, I had the same idea as you." She said: "Theoretically... it's possible, but it's difficult and far beyond your imagination. Even I can't do it now. Not even."

"You can't do it either?" Kyle frowned and asked, "Is it so difficult?"

“Because depending on the complexity of the object, the vanishing spell becomes increasingly difficult.”

Professor McGonagall said softly: "Snails and caterpillars are the easiest, but even so, most people need a long time to learn, and they don't get to mice until Christmas or even after the Easter holidays.

By the seventh grade, as long as you can make an iguana disappear, you can easily get the N.E.W.T. certificate in Transfiguration.

In addition, the wizard's magic power will also have a great impact on the disappearing spell, especially when it is used on oneself. The stronger the magic power, the greater the impact.

 Because our body subconsciously rejects this deformation, which is uncontrollable. "

“So, we can’t use the disappearing spell on ourselves anywhere?” Kyle frowned.

 Humans are much more complicated than iguanas. It can be imagined that in order to use the disappearing spell on oneself, one must have enough magic power as a basis.

 But correspondingly, these magic powers will affect the disappearance spell, and then more magic power will be needed... There seems to be an unsolvable cycle between the two.

"No, it's still possible, but I didn't succeed." Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "But I really hope you can do it."
