Hogwarts Archmage

"If Hermione can accurately guess the content of the exam instead of leading you to review the entire year's study content, it means that she is the one who set the questions." Marne said to Harry, who complained a few times:

"In that case, I guess she won't be able to review for you. If you want to be more open-minded, Harry, it's always good to learn more. I want to wait until you leave school and think back on your experiences in the past few years. What do you want to thank the most?" Miss Granger must be on that list."

"I know, I'm just too tired during this period..." Harry said, turned to the little witch next to him and explained, "I'm sorry, Hermione, I'm not blaming you, I know you are here for us. good…"

Hermione shrugged as if she didn't care, which in fact... who knows.

Compared to Harry, Ron was obviously much better. He slumped on the huge sofa in the tea house like a dead fish, squinting his eyes and feeling that at least before the results came out, they would live a comfortable life. , the whole person seems to be completely released from body to mind.

After chatting with them for a while and seeing that it was almost past lunch break, Marne and Esther went out to Professor McGonagall's office.

Unlike the little wizards, the two of them not only had to take the general exams in the school, but also received individual assessments from McGonagall to determine whether they were qualified for further in-depth study.

This is not because Mag is picky, but because of the profoundness of the transfiguration technique.

In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call transfiguration an alternative killing curse. This discipline can kill anyone you want to kill very easily, with almost no effort.

And the most important thing is that compared to the impact of negative emotions required by the Killing Curse, transfiguration only requires the implementation of personal will and sufficient talent.

If the Killing Curse can be compared to a ruthless killer, the Transformation Curse can be compared to a sniper on the battlefield.

It looks inconspicuous, and even young wizards in their early teens can learn it. But for a master like Professor McGonagall, if he wants to use it to kill people, it is much more concealed than the Killing Curse. For example... Transforming part of someone's heart into a piece of wood might not be possible for an inexperienced person, but McGonagall might not even need to pull out a wand. (Note)

The content of the exam was not too difficult. First, they had to write down all the things that Mag had taught them during this period. Mainly because they started too late, they didn’t learn much, and Mag was too lazy to take out the test papers. .

This part took them a full three hours. It's not that they don't know how to do it, but even if they haven't made much progress yet, they still have to write many more words than they need to write in a normal exam.

And with the quill pen, it's okay to write a little, but if it's so much...it's so sour and refreshing, I understand.

The two of them wrote slower and slower, and finally Professor McGonagall couldn't stand it anymore and asked them to recite the rest of the content, otherwise they might not be able to finish it after waiting another two hours - Marn's fingers were almost gone. After they regained consciousness, Esther was no better. After Mag "pardoned" them, both of them were rubbing their fingers crazily.

The theoretical part is just to ensure that they have not forgotten and to ensure their safety when using magic, and the practical part that follows is the bulk.

Ma En originally thought that it would only take so much time to study, and Mag would let them transform into something made of two or three materials at most. Unexpectedly, she directly asked Ma En for his pocket watch and placed it in the center of the table, and took two more wooden pieces. The block was placed on the table, and it was self-evident what it meant.

This watch... was mailed to him by Ryan and Miley from far away on his tenth birthday. Margery also had one.

Perhaps in order to make up for the shortcomings caused by their long absence at home to their two children, the Langleys have always been willing to spend money on the two siblings. This watch, with the hands on the dial and the fixed point indicating the time, adds up to There are dozens of materials…

Ma En looked at the watch that he had carried with him everywhere, and his heart was full of turmoil. He wanted to throw it out the window... Of course, this might be a bit difficult, because there was a huge colorful wooden basin floating outside the window.

"Professor, this may be...well...a little difficult..."

"I'm not asking you to restore it as it is. I know you can't do it at all. Transfiguration is not a magic that can be driven by crude magic power alone," Mag explained: "You just need to do your best. , this is not a formal exam, I just want to see your talent."

Having said that, there was nothing to hesitate about. Ma En took the lead in waving his magic wand, trying to control his magic power, carving and changing the wooden block in front of him bit by bit, and the thick magic power output... For a moment it became a burden.

After spending more than a minute to restore the base of the dial, he felt that he had reached his limit. If he continued, it would be counterproductive if the materials of each component interacted with each other. The internal mechanism was even more unthinkable.

Mag's face was solemn, and it was impossible to tell whether he had successfully passed the test or not.

Esther was a little stronger than him, but not much stronger. Apart from the base of the dial, she also got an extra pointer and a chain to hang the pocket watch, but she couldn't get anything else out.

The two of them looked at Mag with some anxiety. Mag picked up their "answer sheet" and looked at it carefully. After nearly 10 minutes, he said: "It seems that your talent is not bad, not the best." Good, but they belong to a very good group of people.”

"Professor, can we learn Animagus..."

"Judging from the current test, you can learn Animagus, but as I said before the test, Mr. Langley, you have to show your sincerity. That condition will not change."

"Of course... of course..."

Ma En was relieved. As for not making mistakes for a semester?The worst he could do was to stay in a hidden spot when he got into trouble, and he felt that he had no chance of making mistakes. At least he wouldn't swim at night...or he wouldn't be caught while swimming at night. Old Filch obviously had no interest in going into a dark hole at night. Running to the Black Lake, even Hermione being caught in the first place was "lucky" to Harry. Had she left earlier and come to the Black Lake, nothing would have happened.

Esther on the other side didn't care that much about this matter. She wasn't very interested in turning into an animal, and her current efforts were only because Marn wanted to become that thing.

Compared to furry or scaly animals, she still prefers the appearance of humans.
