Two Worlds: I studied at Hogwarts

#113 - Transfiguration Exercises

Although there were some flaws in the making of these clay figures, it doesn't affect their basic use.

After Moon successively ignited the [Hand-warming Charm] on each clay figure, the little wizards began to test the initial use of the hand-warmers.

Wednesday midnight is exactly when the Astronomy class is held, and the completion of the hand-warmers today can be considered a rare source of warmth for the little wizards.

"I think the tailless rat is pretty good, at least it won't make me like Malfoy."

Ron is now very proud, his pockets are filled with two clay figures ignited with the [Hand-warming Charm],

and he's still holding one in his hand.

Compared to the warmth felt by Ron, Harry, and the others, the Slytherin students attending Astronomy class with Gryffindor were all shivering.

Malfoy even hid behind Goyle and Crabbe, using their figures to block the cold wind.

Harry strongly agreed with Ron's statement, and he even lent a semi-finished owl clay figure to Lavender Brown.

Hermione also lent an earless cat to her roommate, Parvati Patil.

So the first-year Gryffindor little wizards were all listening attentively and happily in this Astronomy class.

Professor Sinistra's lecture on astronomy finally jumped out of the solar system today.

"Students, look north with your telescopes, there are three neatly arranged stars, that is Orion's Belt."

Orion is the main content of tonight's Astronomy class, and this is also the first time Moon has understood the constellations of this world.

Professor Sinistra talked a lot about Orion, and although Moon didn't know what the use of learning about these constellations was, he still wrote them down one by one.

"In ancient Greek mythology, Orion represents the hunter Orion, symbolizing courage, determination, and the persistent pursuit of goals."

"And in ancient Egyptian mythology, Orion is often associated with death and rebirth, it is considered a symbol of the King of the Underworld."

Combining astronomy and mythology is Professor Sinistra's summarized teaching experience. She believes that this is the best way to mobilize the enthusiasm of the little wizards in class.

She even combined constellations with the Divination course that the little wizards can only learn in the third grade.

"Students, Professor Trelawney's astrology, listen", very special, she once told me that people born under the influence of Orion have a very strong curiosity and a spirit of exploration."

After the second half of the Astronomy class, almost all the little wizards couldn't hold on anymore.

The Slytherin students were naturally due to the increasingly bad weather and the howling cold wind.

The Gryffindor students were drowsy because of the boring content and the warm clay figures.

Until Professor Sinistra reminded them that Orion might be a compulsory content in the Astronomy O.W.L. practical exam.

Hermione listened even more carefully, while Harry and Ron simply folded a corner on that page in the book.

"The O.W.L. exam is still far away from us, there is no need to take notes now."

Moon also followed suit, folding a corner on that page in the book. He was not very interested in the astronomy of this world.

In his opinion, studying the stars of this world is not as good as returning to Xilin and studying the irregular crimson moon in the sky.

At one o'clock in the morning, the Astronomy class ended.

When Moon and his party returned to the dormitory, Bumbum was already holding a small "Bumbum" and sleeping.

The firing of the small clay figure did not have the problem of cracking, but it was only because the baking time was longer that it changed color a little.

However, this does not affect Bumbum's love for this small clay figure.

Different from Bumbum, Neville also left a toad clay figure for Trevor.

However, Trevor doesn't seem to like the warm clay figure, it stayed away from the iron box containing the clay figure.

Neville was a little unwilling. After returning from the Astronomy Tower, seeing Bumbum and Ron's rats sleeping while hugging the clay figures, he put Trevor back into the iron box.

"It's very warm here, you will definitely like it, right Trevor."

"Croak~" (No, I hate fire!)

Moon had just lay down on the bed when he heard this protest, but he didn't remind Neville.

Trevor has been lost by Neville dozens of times since coming to the castle, if it wants to stay away from the flames,

it should be a very easy thing.

Hermione had been studying issues related to Transfiguration before making the clay figures.

Moon was originally very curious about her research progress.

But this little witch kept it a secret, saying she would wait until Thursday to tell him.

Until the arrival of the first Transfiguration class this morning, Professor McGonagall announced that they would learn the "Color Change Charm".

Moon understood why Hermione said she would explain it today.

"So you want to use the Color Change Charm on the clay figures."

"That's right, I've read a lot of related Transfiguration books, this should be the easiest way."

As a branch of Transfiguration, the Color Change Charm is relatively simple to master, so it has become a compulsory content for first-year little wizards.

"Alright, Miss Granger, Mr. Scarlett, pay attention to the lecture in class."

Professor McGonagall was as strict as ever in class.

After reminding Hermione and Moon, McGonagall directly took out a dark black beetle and demonstrated the Color Change Charm.

"Remember to imagine the color you want in your mind first, and then say the spell [Color Alteration]."

"You must be focused and not distracted, otherwise the beetle may appear in your mouth."

Professor McGonagall's explanation was very detailed. After saying all the key points, she let the little wizards start trying on their own.

"Be careful not to be distracted, Mr. Weasley, two of your beetle's legs have already broken off."

"Harry, take your time, you should make it change color, not make it fly."

"Mr. Longbottom, where did your beetle go?"

"Seamus, remember, don't cook the beetle again."

All kinds of mistakes always occur in magic practice, and Moon and Hermione are no exception.

"Miss Granger, I think you should have succeeded a long time ago if you only changed one color at a time."

"Mr. Scarlett, where's your beetle? Don't tell me it's lost too."

"No, Professor, I have finished practicing and lent it to Neville."

"Hmm, okay, remember to let me check it in advance next time."

"Okay, Professor."

When Professor McGonagall went to check on other students, Moon observed Hermione's practice.

"Yellow, white, black, are you trying to make a calico cat?"

Hermione's beetle color change practice was actually completed at the beginning.

It was only later that she wanted to master more, and after casting the Color Change Charm many times, the beetle turned back to black.

"That's right, I wanted to make the cat clay figure more beautiful, but I didn't expect the Color Change Charm to fail after exceeding three colors."
