102.Transfiguration - Plants

"Professor, what was that just now?" Hermione finally woke up completely after Professor Sprout took the two young wizards out.

"It's a plant." Professor Sprout smiled. "It's a very strange plant. Our principal Dumbledore encountered it when he was traveling when he was young. According to him, he was stunned by it at the time. Later, he took it as a plant. It took a long time to get a living branch.”

"The main reason is that they are too cautious." Sprout finally added.

"What's its name?" Magos asked.

"It's no longer known what it was called before. Even the school library doesn't have any information about its origins. But now it's called the Glimmer Vine. Principal Dumbledore picked it for it. By the way, I haven't asked you yet. What did you get?" Professor Sprout asked with great interest.

Magos was stunned. "Professor, is this the same as the Mirror of Erised? Everyone sees differently?"

"Oh? You actually know about the Mirror of Erised." Professor Sprout glanced at him in surprise. "Although it sounds similar, there is actually a big difference. What you see from the Mirror of Erised is what you want to see most in your heart, and everyone is different. The Shimmer Vine is different. What it shows is the macroscopic view. In terms of visual effects, there is a high chance that the scenes I saw are the same. Take what I saw as an example. What I saw were planets that were constantly moving, constantly shuttling in the silent and vast universe. Professor Flitwick saw the same thing as I did. Of course, not everyone saw such a magnificent scene. What some students once saw were just fireflies floating in the dark."

"What I saw were things that looked like magic words, constantly chasing and fighting in the dark, and they seemed to have turned into some words that I didn't recognize, but now I have forgotten how to spell those words. "Hermione looked regretful, wishing she could go in and look at it again to remember what she had forgotten.

"This is the first time I have heard of such a scene, Miss Granger." Professor Sprout happily took out a notebook and recorded Hermione's scene. "It's a new and different scene. It's really interesting. Based on my experience in taking care of them for so many years, your talent in learning is extraordinary. When you are in senior grade, you might as well take a look at the ancient magic text. Is the class right for you?”

"Okay, Professor." Hermione took note of Sprout's words carefully.

"What do you see, Mr. Will?"

Magos described the scene he saw in detail, and Hermione was very surprised. She didn't expect that the difference between the two of them was so big.

"That's great. In this scene, there is only one person like you in my image."

Magos thought he would be in a unique scene like Hermione, and was slightly disappointed.

"Who is like him?" Hermione's question was also what he wanted to know.

"Professor Quirrell," Sprout said with a smile.

"Professor Quirrell?" Hermione and Magos looked at each other.

"Yes, that is Professor Quirrell. Don't look at Professor Quirrell as weak now. In fact, when he was in school, he was also a stormy figure in the school. Before he became what he is now, he was not what you saw. look like."

Magos and Hermione knew that Quirrell was possessed, and they asked curiously, "Is there no one in the school who can help Professor Quirrell to be like this?"

"This is a change deep in his heart. No one can help him, he can only rely on himself. Principal Dumbledore once asked his good friend Nico Mellor for help after his accident, but it still had no effect. , we can only let it go." Professor Sprout's expression was a little regretful, as if he felt sorry for the withering of a genius.

"Could it be that," Magos organized his words, "didn't any of you ever suspect that he was being impersonated?" Hermione looked at him in disbelief with her eyes wide open, Magos ignored her surprise, "After all, He has changed so much, it’s like he’s a different person.”

Professor Sprout smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Will, every wizard's magic vortex is different. You can hide it so that others can't see it, but you can't make your own magic vortex different from others." Same, that's why we didn't doubt whether he had been replaced when Quirrell seemed to be a different person."

Hermione was afraid that Magos would say something else, so she pulled him and said goodbye to Professor Sprout.

"You're crazy, how could you say that? Didn't you promise Professor Quirrell." After walking away, Hermione looked around and asked with some confusion.

"Don't worry, who is the professor in the school? Since he can prevent them from seeing it, I

Even if they come out and say that Quirrell is fake, no one will believe it, and this just lets us know why no one has doubted him. Magos spread his hands and said it didn't matter. Hermione still thought his approach was too risky and told him not to do it in the future.

There are two classes in the afternoon on Transfiguration taught by Professor McGonagall. The content of this class is quite interesting.When all the little wizards entered the classroom, they did not find Professor McGonagall or the cat she had transformed into. There was only an extra plant next to her desk.Seeing that the professor hadn't come over yet and the little wizards were chatting noisily together, most of what Magos heard was about the Card King Tournament, and it seemed that everyone else had already launched a strong publicity campaign.After hearing this, Hermione immediately realized what Harry and Ron's previous expressions meant, and glared at Magos.

Harry and Ron ran over to him to report what happened at noon, but he shushed them and changed the subject.Harry and Harry didn't know why, but seeing that he didn't mean to talk about that, they didn't talk about it.

Just when they were wondering why Professor McGonagall hadn't appeared yet, the plant next to the professor's desk began to shake violently, and then turned into a serious-looking Professor McGonagall.All the little wizards who saw it were shocked and looked at the professor who looked not very well.Harry and Ron had their backs to the podium, so they didn't see the scene. Magos touched them, and they turned around belatedly and saw Professor McGonagall standing next to the podium, and quickly sat back. on the back seat.

"Where did she come from?" Ron looked at Harry in confusion. He had been paying attention to the door and didn't see the professor coming in.

Harry shook his head slightly and sat upright.

"I'm very disappointed." When the classroom quieted down, Professor McGonagall glanced around. "It's also very sad. I actually heard most of you discussing the Card King Tournament. Breaking school rules will really make you So excited?" Professor McGonagall looked unhappy, and without saying anything, she took out her wand and cast a flying spell.

I saw that the cards hidden by several young wizards were taken away by the professor. Magos sighed, why don't these children remember to play, but fortunately, their magic cards are specially made.The flying curse cannot be taken away.

"The wizards who received the cards will have their homework doubled at night." Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, and the expressions of the little wizards below all became bitter.Professor McGonagall has always assigned the most homework, but now it has been doubled. There is no chance of competing for magic cards at night.

"The Transfiguration Technique we are going to learn today is different from the previous ones. Just now, sir, Miss, you saw how I appeared. Now let me show it again." After saying that, Professor McGonagall read the spell loudly, and the little wizards around him were in disbelief. His eyes turned into the plant that had just been placed next to the podium.

"No wonder I didn't notice it." Ron muttered in surprise.

Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with their surprised looks. "This is a branch of transfiguration. In fact, I am not very satisfied with this spell. It is different from turning into an animal. If you turn into a plant, you will be contacted after being discovered." You can't even run away. But the advantage of this spell is that if you encounter danger, in a dense forest or with a lot of vegetation, using this spell can greatly increase your chances of not being discovered."

Magos' interest in this strange curse has greatly increased. He just came out of the second greenhouse and is now very interested in anything plant-like.

After Professor McGonagall taught them the spell, she asked them to use the wood on the table to do experiments. In her words, wood is the easiest to succeed. She stepped down from the podium to correct the mistakes of the little wizards from time to time.

Magos took out his wand and used the magic spell on the wood over and over again like the other wizards. However, this time he was like no other, and his progress was the same as other little wizards, not as outstanding as before.This made him a little discouraged, and then he refused to admit defeat and continued training thinking about Professor McGonagall's tone just now, but there was still no change in the result.

"Mr. Will, you are too impatient." Professor McGonagall was standing beside him at some point. "No matter what we are learning, we should accept it with a calm mind. If you use magic spells so impatiently, even if you learn it now, you may fail in the future." After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, he left and walked to the back to point out. Ron's mistake.

Magos put down his wand. He was not really a child. Professor McGonagall's words made him find some inspiration. He remembered the feeling when he successfully used Occlumency in that kind of crisis in Japan. He had always thought that It was good luck that time, but now after Professor McGonagall told him, he found that it didn't seem like that.

He sat quietly and recalled the feeling at that time. The noisy sound made him unable to concentrate at first. Then after a long time, he began to feel that the noisy sounds around him became smaller and smaller, until finally Everything disappeared, and he seemed to be back to the day when goosebumps stood up. He forgot about fear and impatience, and slowly thought about the spell again, holding his breath.

His eyes suddenly opened, he picked up his wand and cast a spell on the wood.
