Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 32: Dangerous Polymorphism


   "Transfiguration is not permanent!" As if worried about under-emphasis, Professor McGonagall repeated what she had just written on the blackboard twice.

   Is it because important things have to be said three times? At this time, Wright, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly had an untimely thought in his mind.

   "Mr. Perth!" Professor McGonagall suddenly nodded Wright's name, "You will tell me why the deformation is not permanent! I think with your learning qualities, I should have previewed the content in the textbook."

   Wright, who was in a daze, was suddenly called by the teacher's name. Suddenly a Ji Ling stood up from the position, and then he quickly recalled the relevant explanation in the textbook.

  "According to Mr. Swich’s "Elementary Transformation Guide", the reason why transformation cannot be maintained for a long time is because maintaining a transformation magic requires continuous magical injection of the material that is transformed." Wright replied with an unhurried speed, "Once the magic power injected into it is lost, the changed object will soon return to its original shape."

  "Very standard answer, Mr. Pass." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly affirmatively, "Although it is all in the book, I can't think of a better answer than this."

   "Then, I hope you can listen to my lectures well in the future, and don't be in a daze in my class!" Professor McGonagall's face returned to sternness, "You don't need to stand up when answering questions, you can sit down. !"

   Wright sat back on the stool in a smooth manner.

   "Maybe you don’t fully understand what Mr. Perth said just now, then I’ll give you an example." Professor McGonagall waited for Wright to sit down before continuing, "If a little wizard who doesn’t know this principle puts it A stone turned into a drink, and then he passed the drink to another unknowing classmate and let him drink it."

  Professor McGonagall paused for a while, and after all the students in the classroom understood the example she just mentioned, he asked another question.

  "Then, can anyone tell me what will happen after the transformation technique applied to that stone disappears?"

  Professor McGonagall looked around the classroom, only to find that no one wanted to raise his hand to answer this question. In desperation, she had to click Wright's name again.

   "Mr. Perth, I think you should have thought of what will happen right?"

   "Yes, Professor McGonagall." Wright did not get up this time, but sat in a seat.

   He nodded to Professor McGonagall to show respect, and then replied: "If a person drinks a drink transformed by polymorphism and waits for the magic to maintain polymorphism to disappear, the drink will turn back to stone. . But then..."

  Wright drummed his throat. He had never imagined that Transfiguration could be used in this way before.

  "At that time, the beverage had already entered the stomach of the person who drank the beverage, and then the liquid beverage would be taken to all parts of the body along with the circulatory system of the human body. Waiting for the moment when the beverage turns to stone, all the liquid molecules ?"

   Speaking of this, Wright stopped and looked at Professor McGonagall with some doubts. He was not sure whether the liquid molecules here were the correct way to use them.

   "No problem, please continue your speculation, Mr. Perth." Professor McGonagall nodded towards Lai.

  " All liquid molecules will become the molecules that were previously assembled into stones. If they are not in a single molecule state, those molecules will gather together. In other words, all the blood flowing up and down your body is no longer all blood. There will also be a few small stones, starting from your stomach, spreading to every part of your body."

  Professor McGonagall’s face was tense at this time, and he couldn’t see the slightest look of kindness: "Just like Mr. Perth just concluded, the person who drinks the drink will be the moment the magic disappears. , Encountered an extremely complicated and difficult problem. Even if he was discovered in time and sent to St. Mungo’s Hospital, I am not sure whether the doctors in the hospital can save his life in time."

   "In other words," Professor McGonagall leaned forward slightly on the stage with his hands on the podium, and his voice increased a lot. "Such a disaster is absolutely irreparable in most cases!"

   "This is also the first and most important lesson I want to tell you!" Professor McGonagall walked to the blackboard, and the wand ran across the line of golden fonts, "Transfiguration is not permanent!"

   The whole classroom is silent.

   "It seems that you all understand the importance of this sentence." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips, seemingly satisfied with the students' response, "But I still have to warn a few more words here, and that is also I will definitely say something to the freshman in the first class of each year."

   "Under any circumstances, you must never turn anything into liquid or gas!"

   "Under any circumstances, you must not burn the things after you cast Polymorphism!"

   "Under no circumstances, you must not turn unprocessed substances into food and then eat it yourself or give it to others!"

  "Under any circumstances~IndoMTL.com~You must not turn anything into Kanon, Sic, or Nat! Including valuables that can be sold! Nor can you turn anything into Muggles’ money !"

   "Understand?"

   There was a sparse response in the classroom.

   "Understand?" Professor McGonagall asked aloud.

   "Yes!" This time the reply was much louder and neater.

   "Very good." Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction, "Now we start to have class."

   After writing down a lot of complicated and difficult notes on the blackboard, Professor McGonagall handed out a match to every student in the classroom and began to let them try to become a needle.

  Professor McGonagall, after handing out matches to the students, began to patrol the classroom, and kept reminding the students who were performing polymorphism while pacing back and forth.

  "It is important to wave the wand firmly and decisively when performing transformations. Do not swing or turn the wand when it is unnecessary, otherwise the transformation will definitely fail."

  ……

  "Before using the Transfiguration Charm, clearly describe in your mind what you want the object to become."

  ……

  Wright took up his wand and gently pressed it against the match on the table. Shadow energy vented down the wand's wand, and Professor McGonagall, who was far away from Wright, turned around almost at the same time, staring at Wright closely, with complex and inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

  The structure and nature of the match instantly appeared in Wright's mind, and he followed Wright's will and began to slowly change into a needle shape.

   As Professor McGonagall said just now, firm and decisive, clear and profound.

  Wright opened his eyes again, and a sharp, shiny silver needle was lying quietly on the original match.
