Hogwarts White Knight

Professor McGonagall looked at the little wizards with a serious expression.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will learn at Hogwarts," she said.

"Nothing requires more wizarding caution than turning a thing, or even better, a person, into something completely different."

Professor McGonagall scanned everyone in the classroom and paused particularly long on Gawain. The rich experience, and more importantly, the encounter just now, warned her.

——This little wizard is definitely not as "conformist" as he appears now.

"More than once, I have witnessed such a tragedy: a reckless student accidentally turned his companion, or 'opponent', into a pig, a sheep, or even something worse. "

Although her voice was not loud, it was majestic enough.

"If you are lucky, the transformation will be temporary, or can be changed with the help of magic. But in the worst case scenario, the poor victim will be forced to be trapped in that body forever. Not just the will, but Maybe a soul."

Hearing her words, even Gawain couldn't help but shudder.

Just thinking about it is scary enough.

There is a ghost in the form of a goat in Hogwarts, chasing the little wizard and bleating in the middle of the night.

"It would be even worse if the person being pursued is from the Muggle world. Especially at this juncture."

Gawain thought, it was obviously a scary thing, but it was somehow funny. He had to cover his mouth with his right hand to avoid exposure.

"The Ministry of Magic has registered sixteen magical creatures that appeared due to wizards' failed transfiguration spells. In history, at least hundreds of wizards have paid a heavy price for their stupidity or arrogance.

I don't want any of you to have your name carved into marble for this reason. "

Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with Gawain's performance and nodded.

“Anyone who tries to cause trouble in my class will be asked to leave and will never be allowed to come in again.

I warned you. "

She took out her wand and drew it in an elegant arc.

The desk on the podium suddenly turned into a huge cat. It was as big as a pony. It looked around the classroom, and finally rushed to Gawain's desk. It stood up and grabbed his shoulders. .

"Mr. White, maybe you should ask it if it wants more snacks?"

Professor McGonagall smiled and said.

Then with a flick of his wrist, the cat jumped back without hesitation and turned back into a black podium.

"Let's go to class now." Professor McGonagall clapped her hands and asked the dazed little wizards to look at her. "In today's lesson, I will lead you to start with something simple, turning a match into a needle."

She waved her wand, and the drawers of the podium opened automatically, and boxes of matches flew out and landed on everyone's desks.

"Each person takes three."

Professor McGonagall shook her wand gently, and the lid of the matchbox popped open, allowing the little wizards to get it themselves. If a clumsy person takes too much, the matchbox will bounce up on its own and give him a blow.

"The spell is 'akus'! Your wrist should shake like this, light, elegant, and precise! Don't hesitate at all!"

She stood on the podium and kept emphasizing the key points.

In Gawain's opinion, the transformation spell is actually a kind of magic that deceives oneself and others.

The wizard needs to first have a concept in his mind of the thing to be transformed, and then be sure that the magic spell can transform the thing, and then shout the spell to achieve the effect.

First have an idea, and then use the power of magic to interfere with reality based on this idea.

"Or is it eroding reality?"

Gawain concluded.

In fact, the spell "akus", or the more advanced spell "vera verto" for turning animals into cups, helps the wizard with anchoring. <b

r />

Just like a pet wants to eat when it hears a bell.

"akus."

He raised the wand in his hand, pointed it at the match, imitated Professor McGonagall's movements exactly, and breathed out the spell.

Of course nothing happened.

"It can't be that easy!" Gawain thought in frustration.

Indeed, it is not difficult to believe in your mind that a match will turn into a needle due to a magic spell, because this is an incredible world. From the moment magic existed, Newton could already sleep.

But the problem is...

The needle itself.

What material is it? What decorations are there? What exact size? Is there any special design?

Other little wizards only need to have a rough idea in their minds, and the spell will naturally prepare plausible results for them based on this idea.

The more detailed the idea, the higher the precision of the transformation, and it is even possible to turn the table into a big moving cat like Professor McGonagall did.

But even if the idea is not detailed enough, it is just a matter of making the match look like a needle.

But Gawain's talent makes him extremely sensitive to the perception and connection of magic. Even the slightest hesitation or doubt will lead to failure.

Because he is not "certain" enough.

If others were just deceiving themselves, then for him, he had to come up with a concept map of a product in that short period of time.

"No wonder Professor Dumbledore said that."

A wry smile appeared on his face, and Gawain continued to practice. Although difficult, it is not impossible. In fact, the most powerful person in the world regarding Transfiguration is none other than Professor Dumbledore himself.

And Gawain is also convinced that as long as he can succeed, the result of the transformation will definitely meet even the most demanding standards.

But the Transfiguration class is indeed the most complex and difficult class.

Until the end, only Hermione among everyone succeeded in making the match change, which made Professor McGonagall happy and added 3 points to Gryffindor.

But at best, it was just a thin stick made of metal.

“It’s not a needle without a point.”

Gawain believed this firmly, and at the same time, he firmly stuffed his unchanged matches back into the box.

"Okay, that's it for this lesson. I hope you don't forget to practice after class."

Professor McGonagall opened the drawer, returned all the matchboxes to their original positions, clapped her hands and said. Then she went directly to Gawain, beckoning him to stay a moment.

"professor?"

Gawain asked confused.

He believed that although he did not successfully turn a match into a needle, it was not bad enough to be criticized in court.

"Professor Dumbledore has entrusted me to bring this to you, and hopes that you will visit Professor Snape after dinner. His office is in the dungeon. It is very conspicuous. I believe you can find it."

Professor McGonagall handed Gawain a small box wrapped in gray cloth and said.

ps1: The goat is a symbol of the devil (Satan) in the West, because it is just right to be placed in the five-pointed star. This time refers to the Millennium (2000) when it is said that Jesus will come to the world and usher in the Apocalypse.

ps2: The original text of the transformation spell is not recorded, they are all from movies (girls, it is really tiring to use mobile phone data to browse the clips), the theory is based on the scattered content mentioned in the book, compiled and created, such as determined and optimistic The will affects the patron saint, and the curse needs to want to torture the person.

Hope it's self-consistent enough.

ps3: In the original book, Professor McGonagall only said two sentences, but...how can I miss the chapter like that?

(Cross out the previous sentence)

But Professor McGonagall felt that the young wizards needed to be more vigilant, so she said a little more.

Seeing as I have worked so hard, it’s not too much to ask for some recommendation votes, right?
