Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 198 The first Transfiguration Club activity

After finishing speaking, Hagrid swept the two wine barrels on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand.

He grabbed a rag and quickly wiped the table clean of the mixture of butterbeer and firewhiskey, and managed to find a relatively clean roll of parchment.

Hagrid picked up a special quill pen, but before he could start writing, he lowered the pen again, looked up sheepishly and said:

"Harry, Hermione, this...my handwriting is probably a bit ugly."

"So... can you ghostwrite it for me?"

"I'll do it!" Hermione, who was previously shocked by Harry's operation, said quickly so that she could feel somewhat involved in this matter.

And Harley rested her chin on one hand, leaning on the table.

She had originally thought about getting a map of the Forbidden Forest from Hagrid, but it seemed she would have to wait until next time.

At this time, Sirius on the side was even more surprised than Hermione and Hagrid.

He had also been worried about this matter before. After all, although he and James had been fighting wits with Hai Dou for seven years, their relationship was still very good.

Otherwise, when he went to hunt down Peter Pettigrew, he wouldn't have chosen to give his beloved modified motorcycle to Hagrid.

Although he helped Hagrid think of many plans in his mind, the only feasible way was to ask Professor Dumbledore for help.

Harley's operation... To be honest, he really wanted to shout: "Can you still play like this?"

……

After Hermione finished writing the letter, Hagrid rushed to the owl loft with the letter without entertaining the two of them.

And with Hermione by his side, Harry couldn't find a chance to hang out in the Forbidden Forest. He could only go to lunch with Hermione and then visit the library.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Harry and Hermione arrived from the library outside Professor McGonagall's office on time.

If Hermione hadn't come here with him, Harry wouldn't have known that Hermione had also received an invitation from Professor McGonagall.

"What will Professor McGonagall teach us in the club?"

"Will you teach us advanced uses of transfiguration? Such as human transfiguration? Or animagus?"

Along the way, Hermione seemed extremely excited and kept talking.

When the two opened the door to Professor McGonagall's office, the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.

There are already many students sitting in the office, but unfortunately there are not many Gryffindors!

The only ones Harry could recognize were the Weasley twins who were in their fifth year, and Eloise Midgan, who was in their fourth year.

As for the sixth and seventh graders, Harley felt like she didn't see any.

The two sneaked to the Gryffindor camp and sat down. Harry quietly poked Fred on the back:

"Fred, are we the only ones in Gryffindor?"

"Of course," Fred replied in a low voice, "How many Gryffindors do you expect to live up to Professor McGonagall's standards?"

"Honestly, it would be great to have two Gryffindors in one grade meet Professor McGonagall's requirements."

"No one in the sixth grade of Gryffindor meets the requirements, and there is only one Percy in the seventh grade." George also interjected,

"But Percy, hey, he is busy taking on some internships now and wants to join the Ministry of Magic as soon as he graduates, so he won't come to participate."

Immediately afterwards, Fred and George introduced wizards from other colleges to Harry and Hermione.

Generally speaking, there are slightly more Ravenclaws, and although Hufflepuff has a larger number of people overall, those who attended said that it is basically the same as Gryffindor.

As for Slytherin, only one fourth-year student barely made the cut.

According to Fred, although there was another fifth-year student who also met the requirements, that student was relatively pure-blooded, so he was screened out for his moral character by Professor McGonagall.

After completing the basic introduction, everyone was almost here, and those who didn't come had asked for leave in advance with Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, cleared her throat, and stood up from behind her desk:

"Good afternoon, students, today is the first event of the Transfiguration Club this semester."

"I think everyone has discovered that we have recruited three new members."

"They are Harry Potter and Hermione Granger from Gryffindor and Shirley Vincent from Ravenclaw."

"Please welcome everyone with a round of applause!"

The surrounding students were accustomed to such a small number of newcomers.

After all, Professor McGonagall has such high requirements and has certain requirements for the quality of students, so it is normal for no one to join for a whole year.

After briefly welcoming the new classmates, Professor McGonagall got straight to the point.

"Considering that there are new students joining, we will make a transition today."

"As usual, we'll get right to the point by discussing the article in Transfiguration Today."

As he said that, Professor McGonagall took out a magazine and looked at Harry and the three of them at the same time: "I remember reminding you to order this book, did you bring it?"

"Bring it, Professor!" Hermione replied, and Harry and Shirley also raised the journals in their hands.

"That's good. I think everyone should have read the above article in advance, but I still hope that everyone can briefly review the first paper again."

Professor McGonagall opened the journal and pointed to the title above,

""An In-depth Study of the Twelfth Law of Gamp's Basic Law of Transfiguration", written by Mr. Jon Hart, a seventh-year Beauxbatons student."

"His goal is to use this paper to compete for this year's Most Promising Newcomer Award from Transfiguration Today."

"After a brief reading, I hope everyone can think about a question: combined with the summary of the article, why does Mr. Jon Hart think the twelfth law of Gamp's basic deformation law is the most important deformation law?"

After finishing speaking, Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk again, picked up a quill and drew on her copy of "Transfiguration Today".

……

Two hours passed quickly, and the first activity of the Transfiguration Club this semester came to an end.

Before leaving, Professor McGonagall also assigned students some thinking homework:

"Law 12 of Gamp's Basic Law of Transformation emphasizes the influence of thoughts and emotions on transformation."

"If you were asked to complete this demonstration, which aspect would you proceed from and what feasibility experiments would you design?"

After leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Hermione sighed:

"I thought the content taught in class was difficult enough, but I didn't expect what was taught here was the real difficulty."

"Of course," Fred from the side interjected,

"In class, Professor McGonagall only talks about how to transform in detail. At most, the essence of transfiguration will not be touched upon until the sixth grade."

"But here, Professor McGonagall taught us her core skills."

(Thanks to Jiuwei Yanhu for the tip!)

I couldn't think of a character name, but suddenly I found out that a hp author used the name of another fan's protagonist. Great idea, I decided to learn from him.
