A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 105: Transfiguration and Charms
"Aww~"
The lion let out a roar, and the hair of the little witch in front of him flew back.
Luna blinked, and the young wizards around her took two steps back in horror.
In the next second, the lion began to run wildly around the ring, sometimes turning into a vigorous leopard, sometimes turning into a one-horned rhinoceros, wild boar, boa constrictor...
The little wizards stared blankly at Professor McGonagall, isn't that what you were doing during the lecture?
From the beginning to the end, Professor McGonagall just waved his wand a few times without chanting a spell.
Dean Thomas couldn't help asking: "Is this one magic, or multiple magics? Why can't I see it at all."
If you want to describe Professor McGonagall's performance, the feelings of the little wizards are too smooth.
While running, the shape naturally changed.
Professor McGonagall's 'show' lasted for about two or three minutes. When a giant eagle hovered over the auditorium, the students raised their heads and stretched their necks to take a peek.
Finally, the giant eagle landed on the ring, rolled over and turned into a black cat again.
"Theoretically, little wizards in grades six and seven can do this." Professor McGonagall said to everyone in the audience.
"Wood, what about you?" Fred said to the team captain of his academy.
"Ahem..." Wood covered his face in embarrassment.
Not far away, Percy, who was in charge of maintaining order, walked up to a Ravenclaw girl: "I think I can do it, Penello, maybe I can't cast spells as smoothly as Professor McGonagall..."
"I can't do it, my Transfiguration is not very good." said the girl, who also had a prefect badge on her chest.
"I can guide you," said Percy.
"Really?" The girl gave him a blank look.
On the stage, Professor McGonagall let the black cat stand in front of him.
"I need an assistant, Albert Balk, you have been working hard to become an Auror, let's try." Professor McGonagall picked out students from his college.
Albert Balck stood up in fear. In the last duel class, he almost had a new understanding of the strength of the professors.
The young wizards in the audience stared intently. It was obvious that Professor McGonagall did not intend to cast other spells, but used Transfiguration throughout the entire process, which made the battle between the two of them very interesting.
The distance between the two is eight or nine meters.
Felix acted as the referee, "Bow to each other... One, two, the duel begins."
Balk quickly jumped aside, raised his hand and cast a disarming spell.
The black cat in front of Professor McGonagall jumped up and blocked the disarming spell.
The black cat in mid-air was a little unstable, one foot turned into a chair leg, but in the next second, it rolled on the ground and turned into an agile leopard.
Another spell from Balk, blocked more easily this time.
"Balk, you need to speed up your casting speed."
According to Professor McGonagall, during this interval, she waved her wand, and two more chairs flew over, and they also took the form of leopards.
At this moment, three leopards with black spots stood in front of Professor McGonagall, guarding her safety.
Gritting his teeth, Balk no longer held any scruples, and cast out spells one after another.
In terms of duels alone, he is indeed ranked among the students at Hogwarts, thanks to his uncle who is an Auror in the Ministry of Magic and has received several years of low-intensity training.
But Professor McGonagall blocked it very easily, "One of the characteristics of Transfiguration is that it can restrain a single spell. Of course, to do this, you need outstanding eyesight."
The three leopards cooperated with each other and handled it with ease.
"Blazing flames!" Balk's spell hit a leopard, and its body suddenly burst into flames.
In the fire, the Transfiguration was useless, and it became a burning chair again.
Professor McGonagall said: "Transfiguration can also work on water and fire, so you just need to change your spells a little—"
The flaming chair sprang up, transforming into a flaming lion, its mane throbbing with bright flames.
Balk couldn't help taking two steps back, but fortunately, Professor McGonagall had no intention of attacking.
Balk quickly thought of a good way, "Torn apart!" A red light flashed, and the spell accurately hit another leopard, causing it to shatter into a dozen pieces in mid-air.
But the situation got worse, every fragment turned into a palm-sized kitten, they nimbly circled behind Balby, staring at him not too far away.
"In short distances, or within the control range of Transfiguration, it is more difficult than you imagine, Balk." Professor McGonagall said, her mood was very happy, and her expression was no longer serious.
Hearing Professor McGonagall's explanation, Balk panicked a little. He suddenly realized that the more he attacked, the more unfavorable he would be in a situation.
After a few seconds of stalemate, a kitten ran to his feet, and Balk couldn't help kicking it out, but the kitten transformed into a cane, tightly entwining his legs.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall not only released the water, but also released the sea. The vines did not continue to grow, and Balk's arm was free.
In a panic, he cast a spell on the kitten closest to him, "Torn to pieces! To pieces! To pieces!"
The kitten didn't dodge. In Balk's eyes, its body disintegrated in an instant, and various fragments flew into the air, transforming into finger-sized birds. These birds had long, pointed beaks.
They stagnated in mid-air and formed a wall. Their sharp beaks aimed at Balk, as if they were about to pounce on him in the next second.
In the eyes of the little wizards, Balk was completely surrounded. Looking up was a formation of flying birds, and behind him was a group of small black cats the size of palms. Farther away, flaming lions and leopards stared at him.
Balk's scalp was numb, and he quickly shouted: "I surrender, Professor McGonagall, I surrender."
Professor McGonagall stopped with regret, she still had a lot to show.
She turned the shapeshifter back into a chair and fixed it with Restoration. She looked at the little wizards in the audience and said, "For most wizards~IndoMTL.com~, they don't guard against transfiguration in a duel. If you can master a few of them proficiently, you can completely surprise them."
Felix couldn't help clapping his hands in praise, which was exactly in line with his idea of defeating Lockhart.
The second person to come on stage was Professor Flitwick, who showed everyone a concept of duel, the matching of spells.
Professor Flitwick was short, but he caught the eyes of the little wizards as easily as he did in class.
"If you have mastered a lot of magic, there must be a question, can I really use them?"
"Maybe it's better to specialize in one magic?"
"These are two different options. What I want to show you today is how to coordinate different spells."
"They're all very simple spells, let me think about it—" Professor Flitwick shouted, "Flock of birds!"
There was a loud bang from his wand, like a pistol firing, and a flock of red-feathered birds flew out of the wand, flapping their wings.
A Hufflepuff muttered, "This spell is not simple, that's what NEWTs are about."
"Shut up," said his friend.
Flitwick looked at the bird: "Of course you can use it to attack, and the effect is good. But if you add the copy spell—" He waved his wand, and the bird quickly split apart "bang bang bang".
"Plus the Expansion Curse——"
A palm-sized bird rapidly swells and becomes bigger.
Flitwick raised his head and looked at the hundreds of owl-like birds surrounding the gilded ring, which almost completely covered his figure.
In front of Flitwick's small stature, many little wizards couldn't help feeling awed.
