Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

"Claudine, you know, I'm really happy!" This serious lady showed a rare smile, "I have said before that you are really suitable for studying this subject! You are a A very talented little wizard!"

Professor McGonagall is a very strict teacher. Even though she is the Head of Gryffindor, she will not be lenient in deducting points from naughty Gryffindor students in her class. But privately, she is a good teacher who cares deeply about her students.

As the guide to Clooney's magical world, she really likes this teacher who is fair but full of love for his students: "But because of my own selfishness! I didn't devote myself to the study of this course so seriously. ! I really shouldn’t have done this!”

After hearing her question, Professor McGonagall patiently answered her question. He also lent her a dozen copies of "Transfiguration Today" and even made a list of books for her to check out in the library. This made her I feel extremely embarrassed for my previous slackness in this subject.

"Transfiguration is a very rigorous subject. I know that many young wizards would rather study charms that can bring my own style and personal creative space, but you should not waste your talents, Clooney. Transfiguration Art is a subject that requires considerable effort and hard work to learn well. I hope to hear good news from you!"

Clooney sincerely thanked the professor and promised to report his study progress to her regularly. Back in the library, she hurriedly looked through the "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide" she just bought this summer.

"Have you not seen this?" Cedric asked, "Why did you go back to see it again?"

"I think it's time to study this course hard, and I'm still confused about a lot of things!" Claudine replied, "Besides, I can't leave school now, so I didn't buy "Advanced Transformation" at all. Technique Guide!"

"Transfiguration is indeed a very precise subject." Cedric said thoughtfully, "But it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"I just remember to carefully compare the common characteristics between things, and then transform them accordingly." Clowney said, "I can almost understand the transformation between non-living things, such as homogeneous transformation and I really don’t know much about the conversion between different transformations.”

"Originally, the magic power is output based on the ability of the converted object and the ability of the converted object. I can understand this. But the disappearing curse is really terrible. It is equivalent to directly decomposing the material. Now, including living things!”

Clooney's head was filled with knowledge about the Muggle world such as cells, atoms, protons, and neutrons: "Although I know that all of this is already very idealistic, stereotypes are not formed overnight. I It is still difficult to accept the fact that matter can be decomposed after being subdivided to a certain extent without distinguishing it so minutely."

"I can probably understand what you mean." Cedric nodded, "But you can think of it as cooking."

"Cooking?" Crowney asked.

"Yes, cooking." Cedric said, "You see, when we cook, we add seasonings as we wish. No one can completely replicate a dish, but we can make the taste of the dish perfect. not exactly."

"Fire, water, seasonings, if you break it down to the microcosm of the Muggle world you mentioned, these changes are unreasonable - maybe I don't understand enough, but it seems like this to me."

"Food will be denatured through cooking. After seasoning is added, these flavors will penetrate into the taste. Some soups will change color and have gum. However, gum is not made of completely pure substances, but various substances. A mixture of specific forms. Muggles haven’t studied all the substances yet?”

Clooney nodded: "You understand so thoroughly! Syd!!! You are so awesome!"

Cedric laughed: "You taught me well, didn't you?"

"So, when we haven't explored the depths of magic, its appearance and form cannot be explained by the Muggle theory. But he can understand it easily by using the simple theory of magic. Although They must have something in common in the end, but we’re not that great yet!”

"If you just want to achieve some improvement in transformation, just apply the existing theories of wizards."

Crowney gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"I understand." Cedric touched Krani's head, "You sometimes think a lot, and you are also very good at combining various knowledge for research, but don't forget your purpose. If your thinking is If your goal does not provide motivation, but resistance, before you are eager to complete your goal, you might as well put these thoughts aside and focus on the present, which may lead to better results."

"I understand! Syd!!" Clooney rubbed his hand with satisfaction, "If you think about it from this perspective, I understand. But even so, the disappearing spell is very scary - if If you use the disappearing spell on someone, that person will turn into nothingness in an instant!"

"This involves the power of rules! That's what you call 'laws'." Cedric said, "For wizards, things involving the mind and soul are the most complex and profound. If you want a When a person disappears, the price paid may be thousands of times higher. At least to my current knowledge, no one has ever succeeded."

"The Vanishing Curse and the Transformation Curse are not the same system, although they are both a branch of Transfiguration." Crowney said, "The Transformation Curse is about displacement and empowerment. The transformation of inanimate life into life is very short-lived and consumes a lot of energy. , you even have to weave certain superficial characteristics of animals into it. Although they have the appearance of living things, they cannot have the complete capabilities of living things; the transformation of living things into inanimate things is intertwined and very risky. So much so that a little damage transformation spell may fail, and the object may be injured; the transformation between living bodies is more complicated and short-lived, and even requires a lot of magic power to maintain, but changing some of their characteristics into similar The function is easy to understand. The disappearing spell is dispersion, which directly destroys the object and returns it to nothingness, leaving nothing behind and becoming the nourishment of world order..."

"So the Animagus accurately supplies itself with continuous transformation magic power to maintain the animal image closest to its own characteristics." Crowney muttered to himself, "It is a branch of biological transformation, but it is Because it uses the inherent energy of living things, this form is particularly stable. No one knows yourself better than yourself, so this kind of transformation consumes much less energy than casting a spell on others. The anti-transformation spell It’s an enchantment that detects the exterior of an organism, so Animagus cannot be detected.”

"From the perspective of the soul and mind, because the characteristics are similar, the accomplished person does not need magic spells and wands, and can realize the mutual transformation between Animagus and human forms with just a thought - because that is actually a simplification version of myself.”

At this moment, Clooney suddenly understood why Green said that "Animagus" is a troublesome and uneconomical transformation technique, because for many people, Animagus may not be complicated. ——More advanced deformation techniques require you to have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the deformed object and the deformed objects, and even need to be specific about the differences between parts, and you can know that every part of your body is What to do and what function it has—this is the most primitive instinct of living things. If you master the more advanced transformation technique, you don't need to spend this time, experience and luck to create a small Animagus that will limit your own abilities. For those who do not understand the principles and mysteries of transfiguration to a certain extent, the risk of direct contact with human body transfiguration is too great. This is simply a cycle with no solution. When people have the ability to learn Animagus, you can actually achieve the effects you want through local deformation.

"You are a true genius, Syd." Clooney held Cedric's left hand and shook it up and down vigorously, "Magic Master, please give me the power to learn."

Cedric laughed sheepishly, then put down the pen he was busy with, and slapped Clooney's brain.

"Stop it—little sycophant—" he said.
