The day of the duel at Hogwarts

On the second floor, in the corridor to the left of the stairs, there is the third painting.

This was the message on the note from Professor McGonagall to Sean, which was where the Fir Club was being held today.

Sean came directly to the painting, which showed an old man sitting in the study. He looked at Sean standing in front of the painting, took out an apple from under the desk, and placed it on the table.

"I've always felt that there are too few green plants in the study. I wonder if you could help me beautify the study and add some green plants. Just use the apple on my desk to change it with the transfiguration technique. Can you?"

Upon hearing this, Sean knew that this was a test to enter the Fir Club, but he didn't know whether this test would be conducted every time or only the first time.

Taking out his wand, Sean tapped the apple in the painting. The apple immediately grew a large number of branches. These branches were like tentacles, holding the apple and climbed down from the desk to the corner next to the desk in the painting. , the apple quickly turned into a huge flowerpot, and the branches growing from the apple turned into a small tree. Just when the old man thought that the transformation was over, vines grew out of the flowerpot again. The vines grew along the wall and the bookshelf behind it, and soon covered the entire bookshelf and wall. There were even vines hanging from the ceiling, making the study full of green.

Seeing the study room where the transformation was completed, the old man had a look of surprise on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said to Sean: "Very good transfiguration. No wonder Minerva invited you to join the Fir Club when school first started. , as the Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts hundreds of years ago, I welcome you to the Fir Club."

As the old man in the painting finished speaking, the painting quickly turned into a door and opened on its own.

Sean walked into the door transformed from the painting, passed through a corridor full of candlelight, and came to a circular room. At the top of the room, there was a candle suspended in mid-air, providing the room with considerable lighting. Bright light source.

At this time, Professor McGonagall was already sitting on the sofa in the middle of the Fir Club classroom.

The style of Professor McGonagall's Fir Club is very different from that of Snape's Potions Club. Candles and burning fireplaces can be seen everywhere, and the environment for starting club activities is relatively comfortable. There were soft single sofas, and the sofas where the students sat surrounded the sofa in the center where Professor McGonagall sat. There were nine sofas in total, arranged in an orderly manner.

"Sean, you came early, find a place to sit down."

After looking at the sofas around him, Sean asked Professor McGonagall: "Professor, are the sofas here for everyone to sit on?"

"You can sit casually. There aren't many rules here. It's more about communication than class, so you don't need to be too rigid. Just relax."

"That's it, I understand, thank you Professor."

Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded to Sean, and then focused on the book in his hand again.

Seeing Professor McGonagall lowering her head to read, Sean also took out a book and started reading it. During his one month at Beauxbatons, he had developed the habit of never leaving his hands with books. At that time, most of the books were in Aldrich's. In his hand, or in the pocket with the Invisible Stretch Charm cast on him, now that Aldrich is not with him, it is not so convenient for him to use items cast with the Invisible Stretch Charm in public (the Ministry of Magic prohibits the casual use of items cast with the Invisible Stretch Charm). Items with the Invisible Stretch Charm), so Sean basically never leaves his hand with a book.

While reading, people also came here one after another.

The empty sofas were slowly filling up, and when Catherine Bishop, the Ravenclaw who was in the same grade as Sean, came here last, it was just the time for the Fir Club to start.

"Gentlemen and ladies, it is a pleasure to see you all again. Three members graduated last year and two members have joined this year. Let us welcome Mr. Sean Burstead and Miss Catherine Bishop."

There were a total of nine students who came here. Except for the two newcomers Sean and Catherine, the other seven students immediately clapped their hands to express welcome after hearing Professor McGonagall's words.

At this time, Sean looked at the others and nodded hello. After looking around, he found that there were people from the four colleges in Professor McGonagall's Fir Club, plus Sean himself and Catherine, two newcomers, in the club. Three from Gryffindor, three from Ravenclaw, one from Hufflepuff, and two from Slytherin.

The Slytherin student was a fifth-year student. Sean didn't know the other person. He just smiled and nodded to the other person, but didn't talk immediately because Professor McGonagall had already started communicating.

"Today we will continue the progress of last year and start to explore the research on the transformation of the target volume. This includes the research on dead objects becoming larger and smaller, and the research on living objects becoming larger and smaller. Among them, living objects becoming larger and smaller is A very difficult transformation, you can also use magic spells to replace it, but if you want to further explore the mystery of transformation, you must pass this level."

After listening to Professor McGonagall's words, everyone nodded.

As magic develops from generation to generation, powerful and exquisite magic disappears with history, and there are talented wizards who lead magic into new realms. Generally speaking, the development of magic is still moving forward. Although the current magic, It may be weaker than before in terms of mysterious killing, but it is still better than before in terms of sophistication and depth. People are always making progress, and so are wizards.

In today's magic, if you want to make things bigger or smaller, using the enlargement spell or the shrink spell in magic spells is the most convenient and easiest way, and it is also the most versatile method. However, transfiguration can also make things bigger and smaller. It's just that the enlargement and reduction of the transformation technique seems to have the same result as the enlargement and reduction of the magic spell, but the principle is absolutely different. The enlargement and reduction of the transformation technique is much more difficult.

Many people would not choose to study transformation to the third level in order to achieve the effect of enlargement and shrinkage. However, for everyone in the club at this time, they have considerable talent in transformation and there is hope that they can get a glimpse of it. Higher-level transfiguration is naturally the third stage in which one must study or even break through transfiguration.

Sean sat on his sofa, listening very carefully to the exchanges between others and Professor McGonagall. In his hand, an automatic quill pen quickly recorded the conversations in the club on his notebook, trying not to miss anything. any key point.
