I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 29 Transfiguration

The breakfast at Hogwarts is as sumptuous as ever, which is the most commendable thing.

Gryffindor students have long been accustomed to the fact that Orlando occupies three positions by himself.While eating breakfast, he was looking through the mail. These were the mails he had received in the past month and a half. The house elf Kabri had brought them from the collection room early in the morning.

I flipped through the letters at random and found that most of the letters were from strangers. Some were from newspapers to make appointments for interviews, some were from self-proclaimed famous wizards to discuss the refining of potions, some were solicitation letters from magic families, and some had an unbalanced mentality. Orlando didn't even look at the threatening letters sent by pure-blood wizards, and brushed them all aside.

He took out the envelope with the Cardiff address printed on it. This was a letter sent to him by his family. The two letters were ghostwritten by his sister Emily. In the letter, he learned that his father had completely recovered and that his mother had sent him a letter to a social worker in a poor community. The lawsuit was also won, and his sister Emily won the Rising Piano Star Award in the school piano competition. These trivial household chores made Orlando feel warmer.

"Orlando, are you going to class today?" Seeing that Orlando had finished eating, Hermione and the other three came over.

"Go." Orlando put the letter away and prepared to read it when he was empty.

"How rare! Professor McGonagall said you went to study. Where did you go to study?" Harry asked curiously.

"Well, I can't say this, I'm afraid I'll scare you if I say it." Orlando winked mischievously, deliberately trying to keep it a secret.

"Didn't you go to the goblin summer camp?" Ron said yearningly.

"I know where. Peter told me that it is a place run by nobles and a place for them to socialize. The people who can go there are all beautiful and handsome men." When he said this, Ron's eyes lit up.

He glanced at Ron, "What is this kid thinking? I'm not yet an adult, and my monastic career has just begun. How could I sacrifice my merits and lose my virginity?" Orlando cursed in his heart.

"Ron, what are you talking about? Orlando is not this kind of person. He is going to learn magic. Professor McGonagall made it very clear." Hermione was unhappy. What did this bad boy think about all day long.

Harry chuckled and added, "I think Ron wants to go to the goblin summer camp."

"You dare to say you don't want to go?" Ron replied not to be outdone.

"Ignore you." Hermione stamped her feet, turned and walked away.

Orlando shrugged, turned and left. You can reply to other letters later, but not to those at home, otherwise your parents will be worried over time.While there was still time before class, Orlando wrote a reply letter and gave it to Cabri to mail it for him.

There are only two classes today. The morning is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. Since I'm back at school, I still have to attend the Dean's class.Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was in the afternoon, so there was no need to go there. Anyway, his class was just a matter of talking about what the teacher said, and he couldn't learn anything. It was a waste of time.

After making up his mind, Orlando Shiran came to the classroom. Professor McGonagall had not yet arrived. The Gryffindor students were fighting with each other using their wands as spears. No one noticed his arrival and found a place against the wall. He sat down and took out an ancient magic book and started reading.

"Orlando, are you here?" Hermione came over with a stack of books and sat next to him. Harry Ron also followed and sat in the row behind him.

"You have something to do with me." He looked up at Hermione.

"What was the surprise you talked about yesterday?"

Harry and Ron listened behind them with their ears perked up.

"In this way, we will meet in the restaurant after lunch. We will not go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon. How about I give you a real Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

"I'm afraid..."

"Okay, okay, Orlando, it's settled." Ron hurriedly agreed without waiting for Hermione to finish her objection.

Harry also nodded. They were already extremely disgusted with this strange and boring course.

Two to one, seeing that both friends agreed, Hermione could only nod and said, "Okay, just for once, you can't skip class again, otherwise you will be deducted points."

"I know, Hermione, just this once." Harry said cheerfully.

At this time, Professor McGonagall walked in, and the classroom instantly became quiet.

Hermione immediately sat up straight, put her hands on the table and stared straight ahead, looking like a good student, which made Orlando almost laugh out loud.

After glancing at the students, he unexpectedly spotted Orlando sitting against the wall. Professor McGonagall paused for a moment, but didn't say much.She is both proud and helpless about this student. What she is proud of is that in her teaching career, it is a joy to have such an outstanding student. But she is helpless because this student is too outstanding. Sometimes the outstanding students do not know who they are. How to teach? In Dumbledore's words, this is a born king. Don't restrain him and let him develop freely according to the situation.

"Today's lesson is about the teaching of transfiguration of living animals, put away the matchsticks in your hands," Professor McGonagall said.

Harry and Ron hurriedly packed up the matches, but so far neither of them had been able to completely turn the match into a needle.

Professor McGonagall unscrewed a cage from under the desk and took off the black cloth. Inside the gauze-covered cage was a swarm of Italian bees.

"Neville, go and give one to everyone." Professor McGonagall pointed to Neville sitting in the first row and said.

Neville didn't dare to neglect, he screwed up the cage and gave one to each student. Fortunately, these bees were all under the Stunning Curse, otherwise they might have stung a large number of them.

Professor McGonagall picked up a bee and said: "Melis mellifera belongs to the family Apidae, order Hymenoptera, class Insecta, and phylum Arthropoda. It is the easiest to control among the living animal transformation techniques. Let me demonstrate it to you first."

Then she recited a spell and waved her wand. The bee in her hand instantly grew in size and turned into a gray and white mouse. In order for all the students to see clearly, Professor McGonagall walked around the classroom. .

The students all exclaimed in amazement, their little faces flushed, yearning for this magical spell.

Orado only glanced at it, then lowered his head and continued reading his ancient magic book.He has long mastered the transformation of living animals. Ever since Teacher Nico taught him soul attribute magic, his powerful innate soul power has been developed. For ordinary students, the biggest obstacle to the transformation of living animals is soul perception. , because animals are living things, not dead, possessing not only a body but also a soul. Casting a transformation spell requires both the body and the soul. Otherwise, there is only one result of casting a spell, and that is failure.

"Does anyone want to try living animal transfiguration?" Returning to the podium, Professor McGonagall knocked on the table to quiet the students.

The students looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke. Only a few of them could complete the transformation of a match. They had never tried the transformation of a living animal, so they were not confident.

Hermione poked Orlando and motioned for him to give it a try. She originally wanted to raise her hand to try, but when she stretched out her hand, she turned a corner and let Orlando do it. Maybe she thought this was to earn points for Gryffindor. good opportunity.

Putting down the book in his hand, and seeing Hermione looking at him eagerly, he shook his head helplessly, "Professor McGonagall, can I try?"

"Very well, Orlando, please come to the podium."

"Professor, can I turn it into another animal?" Looking at the unconscious Italian bee in his hand, Orlando suddenly wanted to try something else. Normally, the casting of a spell not only tests a person's accuracy in controlling magic, but also requires a The magic value that matches the enchantment.Orlando is very confident in his ability to control magic, but he doesn't know the level of his own magic. He wants to give it a try.

"Yes, but be careful not to exceed your capabilities, otherwise the backlash of the curse is no joke." As expected of someone who has been a professor for many years, Orlando's little thoughts can be seen at a glance.

"Okay, Professor, I'll start."

"let's start."

Under the perception of Orlando's soul, the Italian bee could be seen from the inside out. Then he waved his wand and recited the transformation spell, and the bee immediately began to expand and change according to the image of the moon-shrieking wolf in his mind. After a while, a bee appeared. The Xiao Yue Sirius, who was as tall as a person, appeared.

The students looked at all this with wide eyes and disbelief. This was so shocking. A few timid female students thought it was the real Howling Moon Sirius and screamed in fright.

"What an incredible transformation." Professor McGonagall said in surprise.

At this time, the comatose Italian bee received the impact of a strong transformation spell and woke up from the coma. Before it understood the situation, it flapped its wings and screamed loudly.When Orlando saw that the situation was not good, it would be bad if something happened in this densely populated classroom, so he hurriedly released the transformation spell, and the moon-whispering Sirius turned back into an Italian bee.

"Bah bang bang." Professor McGonagall was the first to applaud.

The students who reacted from the shock responded with warm applause.

"Classmate Orlando showed us a very clever transfiguration. For this, I will give Gryffindor five points." Professor McGonagall announced proudly, adding points to his own school.

After hearing this, the little lions of Gryffindor applauded even more enthusiastically.

I returned to my seat and checked the magic power in my body. The consumption was quite large. Such a simple transformation of a living animal consumed nearly one-third of the magic power. It seemed that the professor was right. The greater the change, the more magic power was consumed. The difficulty of the change is also higher. In the same way, changing back and forth with the same volume and mass consumes the least amount of magic power. This is the same as the conservation of energy.

"Orlando, you are so awesome, can you teach me?" Harry poked Orlando's back and whispered.

"And me." Ron's face turned red with excitement, and he had slapped her the loudest just now.

"You'd better change the matches first!" Hermione on the side couldn't help but said after hearing what the two said.

"I think what Hermione said makes sense. You must know that transfiguration is an advanced technology that requires a solid foundation. You are just laying the foundation, so don't be too ambitious."

Ron was a little disapproving. He felt that if Orlando could do it, he could do it too.Harry is more rational, which may be related to his childhood experience.

"Hey, Orlando, when can we do this?" Harry asked again unwillingly.

Orlando thought for a while and decided not to attack them, so he said perfunctorily, "Practice hard and I think I should be able to do it in a year."

"It takes a year, so long?" Ron was a little unbelievable. He still didn't understand how difficult it was to turn an Italian bee the size of a fingernail into a giant wolf as tall as a person. This level Not only a student, but most adult wizards may not be able to perform the transformation technique.

Hermione curled her lips. She couldn't complain about this ignorant guy anymore.

"The year I'm talking about is the result of you focusing on practicing Transfiguration and practicing diligently for a year, so Ron, don't think that one year is a long time."

After hearing this, Ron drooped his eyes in frustration and no longer had the motivation to learn transfiguration.

Shaking his head, Orlando stopped talking and looked at his book with peace of mind.You must know that everyone has their own ambitions. Only by enduring hardships can you become the best. If you don't want to work hard and want to become stronger, how can there be such a good thing?

After the Transfiguration class, it was almost time for dinner. The group of people headed to the auditorium to eat while chatting and laughing. On the way, they met Malfoy and his two followers, who had been resenting Slytherin for losing the Quidditch match. Concerned, he originally took this opportunity to provoke Harry to speak out in anger, but before he could say anything, he saw Orlando in the crowd. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, not daring to say a word of nonsense.

After finally seizing the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, Ron couldn't give up. He chased Malfoy relentlessly and laughed at him.

How could Orlando, who has an adult mind, care about such a child's trick?

After lunch, Orlando took Harry and the three of them to the Room of Requirement quietly. He already had his own independent dormitory and would not use it in the future. Why not tell Harry and the others to have a secret place for their activities? .

"Orlando, how did you find this place?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I discovered it by accident. The technique I practice is special after all. Harry and Ron know that there must be a quiet place." Orlando gave a random reason. It can't be said that it was written in a book he read in his previous life, right?

"I just said that you didn't come back to the dormitory every night, which made Harry and I worry several times."

"That's right, there were times when I thought you were caught by Filch." Harry said after Ron's words.

"Okay, to express my apology, I have prepared three different kinds of powerful talismans for you this time. They are so powerful that even facing a giant dragon will not be a problem."

"Dragon, Orlando, are you sure?" Hermione was a little doubtful.

"That's right, Orlando, are you bragging? I heard Charlie talk about the giant dragon, which requires a dozen adult wizards to subdue." Ron said as if I understand very well and you can't fool me.

Harry had never seen a dragon, and when Ron and Hermione expressed doubts, he was a little unsure.

Seeing that his friends didn't believe it, Orlando didn't waste any more nonsense and took out the talisman he had refined last night.
