029 The first lesson
"Our first class this morning was a deformation class." Hermione took a big sip of milk soaked cereal and turned her head to Hugo. "I heard from my senior sister that Professor McGonagall is a very serious professor and hopes that her courses will not be too difficult."
"At least the first grade course shouldn't be too difficult." Hugo thought for a while, "because even those students from wizard families never learned any magic before entering the school. For everyone, the learning of magic starts from scratch. So it will definitely not be too difficult at the beginning."
"What you said makes sense." Hermione nodded and then quietly ate breakfast. After dinner, they followed at least one-third of the first-year Ravenclaw students to an empty classroom near the Transformation Classroom with books.
Next is the time for the eagles to study for themselves. Everyone has found the textbooks for the subjects they are going to take today and started to study for themselves. The whole classroom is quiet. Apart from the occasional coughing sound, it can be said that it can be heard.
I have to say that compared to the group of Gryffindors who basically can't sit still, Ravenclaw, who likes to stay in the same place to read books, can be said to be completely opposite to them. No wonder Hermione in the original text seems so out of place with the rest of the academy. So Hermione is also a very good choice for Ravenclaw.
After a while after the last class of the Transformation Class, the first-grade students who were studying in this classroom packed up their things and walked over to the Transformation Classroom next door. However, because Hermione had not finished reading a knowledge point, it was only four or five minutes left when Hugo and the others entered the classroom.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time." As she walked into the classroom, Hermione apologized to Veneto and Hugo. At this time, most of the students in the classroom had arrived, but some were joking and some were reading books. No one paid attention to the tabby cat sitting motionless on the podium.
After seeing the cat, Hugo walked to the podium and bowed to the cat, then pulled Hermione toward an empty seat, while Venetto walked to another empty seat to sit down.
"What were you doing just now?" After sitting down, Hermione asked Hugo curiously. "Why did you bow to that cat? Could it be that cat--"
After saying this, Hermione, who was very smart, also discovered that something might be wrong. So she immediately closed her mouth and thought silently. Soon she turned her head and looked at Hugo and asked. "When I was reading the transformation textbook before, I found that the textbook said that the wizards had a deformation called Animagus that could turn them into animals. Could it be that cat-"
"You're right." Hugo nodded and explained. "If I guessed correctly, this cat should be Professor McGonagall. When I was reading the book yesterday, I saw that there were only seven legal Animagus registered throughout the 20th century, and our Professor McGonagall was one of them. If you pay attention, you can see that the pattern on the face of this tabby cat is the same as the glasses she wears."
After learning that this cat was Professor McGonagall, Hermione shook her head in a little annoyed, then opened the textbook and carefully looked at what she wanted to learn in the textbook today. She thought that Professor McGonagall turned into a podium at the cat stand, which was actually a test for the students, and she had not passed this test just now. So she made up her mind that after class started, she would never lose the chain.
The students who took the transformation class with the students of Ravenclaw were Hufflepuff, while most of the badgers were good babies, not as fond of trouble as some colleges. This led to the fact that there were some noisy sounds in the classroom during the period before the bell rang, but overall, it was still relatively orderly.
As soon as the class bell rang, the tabby cat on the podium jumped off the podium, and turned into a tall and serious woman while jumping down.
"Mr. Granger, I'm very happy to see you recognize my identity. I'll add five points to Ravenclaw for your excellent observation skills and careful pre-class preparation." Professor McGonagall nodded in the direction of Hugo. As a serious professor, Professor McGonagall admires students who are serious and hardworking like Hugo.
But after praising Hugo, Professor McGonagall returned to his previous seriousness. She turned around and walked onto the podium, then lowered her head and said to all the students in the classroom: "Transformation is the most complex and dangerous spell you have in Hogwarts' courses." She said, "If anyone wants to be naughty in my class, I will invite him out and never allow him to come in again. I have warned you."
Then, she turned her lectern into a pig, and then changed back. The students were all attracted and wanted to start learning immediately, but they quickly realized that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals. After they took a lot of complicated and difficult notes, she sent each of them a match and began to make them try to turn it into a needle.
Professor McGonagall is indeed a wizard who has made great achievements in transformation. Not to mention that she can complete the top magic of Animagus, the most powerful magic in transformation, just turning the table into a pig. You know, pigs are the most insulated animal to magic, and turning things into pigs is definitely the most difficult one in transforming this animal.
After sighing about Professor McGonagall's magical level, Hugo began to try to turn the match in front of him into a needle. With the bonus of the Admiral's Internet Soul Link, he completed this transformation before his sister Ravenclaw's pure-blooded student.
"Very good, Mr. Granger." Professor McGonagall said after picking up the needle and looking at it. The needle was accurately transformed into the pointed needle and the hole at the tail of the needle, which can be considered very good for a beginner. "As the first student to complete the deformation, I want to add another three points to Ravenclaw."
By the end of get out of class, only five people in the entire classroom completed this deformation, including Hermione and Venetto. Professor McGonagall was naturally not very satisfied with the learning progress of most people, so he assigned a not-so-long paper to ask everyone to hand it in the next class.
"How did you do it?" After class, Hugo's roommate Michael Conner came over and asked curiously. "Why can I only turn a wooden match into an iron match, but not a needle."
"That's because you don't maintain a balance between material deformation and shape deformation in your will." After hearing what your roommate asked, Aolens pointed out his problem at once. This problem was encountered when Hugo was experimenting with various magic during the summer vacation, so it was very simple to solve.
As Professor McGonagall said in class just now, magic is definitely not released smoothly by waving a magic wand and chanting spells. It contains a series of profound principles.
The problems that Kona encountered were also the most common kind of problems, and it was very simple to solve them. It was enough to maintain his will when casting a spell. After Hugo pointed out the problem, Kona quickly showed an obvious expression.
