Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 39 A Miserable Failure
"As expected of Professor McGonagall"

William sighed in admiration, and withdrew his wand.

In Ilvermorny, what they learned from the very beginning was simple transformation, that is, relying on the subconscious impressions in their minds to transform things.

Easy Shapeshifting is a utility shapeshifting spell.

Compared with regular transformation, simple transformation is faster and requires less magic power, but because it mainly relies on ramming miracles, it requires the wizard to be very concentrated, and there are inevitably flaws.

At this moment, the original connection between him and the statue due to the transformation technique has disappeared - which means that Professor McGonagall not only easily took over his transformation, but also made it better on the original basis.

This is the real monster.

"Okay, let's start class."

After everyone looked around the statue for a while, Professor McGonagall waved his wand and turned it back into the dusty desk it was before.

"From this semester onwards, we will learn the more complicated transformation of living creatures in Transfiguration—compared with the previous method of turning objects into living creatures, the transformation of living creatures is much more dangerous."

She took out a cage of mice from under the podium and asked everyone to take turns to get it.

Although in the original book, and after meeting Professor McGonagall for the first time, William was convinced that she was a very strict teacher-he still underestimated her rigor.

"Mr. Buffalo, I don't think your teacup should have eye-like decorations, and it should have a smoother surface. It should be a fine, elegant piece of porcelain, not a toothbrush. cup."

After turning William's transformed teacup back into a mouse for the third time, Professor McGonagall even asked him to use a drawing spell to draw the imaginary teacup before transforming it.

It wasn't until the bell rang for the end of get out of class that William conjured up a teacup that satisfied her, allowing her to add 3 points to Ravenclaw.

"Finally, for Merlin's sake."

William let out a long sigh.

He had a long-lost feeling of relief.

"Professor McGonagall just has higher expectations for you. Look at that guy named Dras, his teacup can even bite!"

Jimmy shook his hands and complained.

Obviously he is the main character in the story.

After a very busy morning, there was only History of Magic taught by Professor Binns in the afternoon—perhaps the most boring class at Hogwarts.

It is said that Professor Binns has taught the history of magic since the founding of Hogwarts, but I don’t know if he forgot to bring his sense of humor when he became a ghost, or he only remembered the knowledge of the history of magic, so that listening to him The class has a strong sleep aid effect.

After lunch, Penelope took William to the library, wanting to look up some records about the founding of Hogwarts, William saw Hermione here without any surprise.

More precisely, her messy brown hair, buried behind books high on the table.

"I also saw her here last night. She likes to study so much. It's a pity that she didn't enter Ravenclaw."

Penello, who had retrieved a stack of books, walked to William, noticed the direction of his gaze, and whispered.

"I think she forgets it, it's nothing."

Shaking his head, William helped her throw the stack of books she was holding into a shoulder bag—he just remembered that he basically spent his first year in Ilvermorny like this.

"The Travels of the Strange Wizard Pollockro"

William saw the top book in the stack, with the title written in Old English on the leather cover.

"He once walked all the way from England to the north of Scotland, and it is said that he once participated in the famous 'Great Heretic Army'. I guess he must have encountered some wizard settlements or hermitages, right?"

Penello explained.

"Are you still studying the joke you said back then?"

William asked in surprise.

But mortals are not full, so they will not be free to study the wizarding ecology in medieval England.

"That's not a joke, but a serious and worthwhile project!"

Penello's serious eyes looked like Professor McGonagall, "Qiu Zhang and Margarita are also helping - I wanted to ask that girl."

She pointed slightly at Hermione out of the corner of her eye.

"But she seemed to be under a lot of pressure, so I didn't bother her. Professor Flitwick also found our subject very interesting, and promised to help us connect with an old friend who could be of great help."

They chatted in low voices, walked out of the library, and headed for the History of Magic classroom.At the moment when the class bell rang, Professor Binns got out from behind the blackboard.

"Now, let's start class."

He said in a calm voice.

5 minute later.

"Okay, get out of class is over."

Professor Binns said in a calm voice.

To be honest, William had never had such a good night's sleep—especially when they were at Ilvermorny, when their History of Magic professor was a very grumpy 40-something old man.

Whenever someone in the class couldn't answer the question he had just posed, he would punish the hapless student to stand on the podium and write ten times on the blackboard with chalk "I am a wizard, not a brainless baboon. "

William would rather duel with ten Marcus at once than encounter such a social death tragedy once.

"It's been a long class."

Behind William, Jimmy also woke up lazily - the table was a bit high for him, which made his neck more difficult to sleep on.

"Look at Merlin's shofar braid, you only lasted for 2 minutes! 2 minutes! Even William lasted for 5 minutes!"

Penello strongly condemned Jimmy's behavior.

William smiled proudly.

It’s not that our army doesn’t work hard, it’s because the opposite party pulled out the law of causality—he found that the more he tried to listen to Professor Binns carefully, the easier it was for him to fall asleep—so William decided to fight him to the end, and took the initiative Putting down the textbook, he began to concentrate on listening to Professor Binns' speech.

"It worked really well."

William thought happily.

"Bah. It was a miserable failure."

He corrected his thoughts with satisfaction.

"Honestly, why didn't Professor Dumbledore consider letting Professor Binns go? You know, he must have forgotten that he has become a ghost."

Jimmy sighed and asked in a low voice.

"He has been working diligently for Hogwarts for almost 1000 years. If he wakes up, he should be willing to go on, right? Instead of being like those ghosts, this side has lost its meaning, but he wants to get out of that One step, and not enough courage."

Professor Binns can be regarded as one of the most special ghosts entrenched in Hogwarts. He doesn't even know that he is dead, but like every day in the past, he gets up in the morning, changes into his wizard robes, and goes to the history of magic. classrooms, imparting valuable knowledge to little wizards.

"I don't know. I heard that some principals have considered this idea before. You know, it is to 'awaken' Professor Binns through magic spells. But they still didn't do it later, and this matter has been shelved since then, and it has become a historical issue. "

Penello shrugged and replied:

"All I know is that the headmaster at that time was a Blake."
