Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 53: Unscientific
"This way, this way!" Lee Jordan waved to the twins who had just entered the hall. "You finally showed up."
"Why are you all here!" George sat next to Lee Jordan and greeted the others.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Lee Jordan couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Dinner time, if we don't eat here, where else can we go?"
"That's right, please pass me the jam, thank you." Fred smeared a lot of jam on the slices of bread, took a big bite and asked, "What was taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning?"
"Dark creatures for half the class, and the rest of the time for us to practice how to fire red and green sparks." It wasn't Lee Jordan who answered him, but Angelina, who was sitting across from them. The future Quidditch captain was looking at the twins with scrutiny, "I heard that you gave Gryffindor thirty points this morning, and all of Albert's points during this time."
Fred used a fork to stick a potato with the skin on and muttered, "We only deducted twenty points."
"Ten points from the history of magic." Albert looked up at the twins and asked, "Where did you guys go this afternoon?"
"Secret!" Fred and George looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, by the way, there's something else." Lee Jordan said to the Weasley brothers, seeming to remember something, "Felch asked me to tell you that your confinement is tomorrow night in the prize showroom."
"It seems that you don't need to wash the chamber pot, this time it's to wipe the trophy." After the meal, Albert, who took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, suddenly said, "By the way, I met that William not long ago. Well, he seems to have just finished washing the chamber pot in the school hospital."
"Please don't talk about these things during mealtime." Shanna glanced at Albert angrily and complained, "It will affect everyone's appetite."
"I remember there was an astronomy class at night." Arya diligently changed the subject, "Who of you has been to the Astronomy Tower?"
"Don't look at me, I haven't been there." Li Jordan shook his head first, "By the way, what time does the astronomy class in the evening start?"
"September 30," Albert said, glancing at the class schedule.
"It's so late?" Angelina took out her class schedule from her backpack and glanced at it, and it really was this time.
You know, Hogwarts has a curfew at 11 o'clock.
"Don't worry, we went to the top of the Astronomy Tower at noon."
"That's great!" Albert nodded towards the twins and said, "You'll be responsible for guiding everyone later, don't forget to bring your binoculars. By the way, the notes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and the History of Magic ."
Speaking, Albert took out two books from his schoolbag and put them on the table.
"I'll come first!" Li Jordan stretched his hand to the book.
"We can take one subject each, and we will take turns taking turns." The twins moved faster than Lee Jordan.
Compared to borrowing notes from others, Albert's Magic History Notes are obviously more reliable.
"You..."
"Ahem, how's your Luminous Spell mastering? There seems to be a transfiguration class and a spell class tomorrow." Arya swept the unscrupulous twins and continued, "My matches still don't have anything. change."
"Sanna, how's your two spells going? By the way, I almost forgot two spells from Defense Against the Dark Arts." Angelina was a little angry, her matches still didn't have any Progress, although not much time and energy has been devoted to practicing magic during this time.
"I've only mastered the Lighting Spell." Shanna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing about everyone's situation. She had been practicing the Lighting Spell these days, and she managed to master it.
"Don't worry," Albert comforted. "Professors McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will both give us time in class. Of course, you can practice on weekends."
"It's enviable that Albert doesn't need to worry about homework," Fred exaggerated.
Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and said to himself, "I envy you, you can't do it if you practice hard."
"How about you?" George asked his roommate next to him.
"Well, the Luminous Charm is almost mastered. However, Transfiguration is really difficult." Li Jordan sighed after thinking about the difficulty of Transfiguration.
"Li, when did you master the Luminous Charm?" Fred and George looked at their roommates in surprise.
It is said that everyone is at the same level? Why did you sneak away by yourself.
"Last night... I've been practicing the Luminous Charm too." Li Jordan said angrily.
"Sure enough, is Transfiguration more difficult?" Arya looked up at Albert. The others looked at Albert in the same way.
Albert was speechless for a while: What do you see me doing?
"Let you teach everyone." Fred put his arm around Albert's neck and said, "Is there any trick."
"There is no trick, it just needs to be practiced by everyone." Albert said helplessly: "Professor McGonagall also mentioned the points that need attention."
It's nothing more than practice, remembering that you need to focus when you transform, be sharp when you swing your wand, and say the right spell.
Of course, learning Transfiguration requires effort on your own.
Actually, there are some things Albert didn't say: unless you have panels like me.
At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the auditorium again, ready to get together to practice the spell~IndoMTL.com~ However, everyone found that they had no matches, and finally George broke a twig from the outside to use as a match.
"Ahem, you can actually turn branches into matches," Arya reminded.
"That's a good idea." The others echoed.
"VeraVerto." Albert twitched the corners of his mouth and sighed lightly. He picked up his wand and lightly tapped it on the twig, immediately turning it into a match.
"Copy in pairs!"
Albert made a few more copies of the matches and distributed them to others for practice.
Professor McGonagall said that Transfiguration is a difficult class to learn, and that's true. Until the time of going to astronomy class, none of the matches had been successfully transformed.
"It's not scientific, why is it so difficult!" Shanna couldn't help complaining.
"Of course it's unscientific, after all, it's magic!" Albert wanted to complain, but he finally held back.
When a girl passed by, she happened to hear the complaints of several people, so she stayed by Albert's side for a while, and said to everyone: "Transfiguration itself is very difficult. It's hard to be successful in one fell swoop, especially for a freshman who is new to magic."
"Good evening, Katrina."
Katrina simply nodded at Albert and walked away.
"Hope we didn't have Ravenclaw in our astronomy class," murmured Angelina, who didn't like the guy very much.
"Some people in Ravenclaw are eccentric, and our astronomy class is with Hufflepuff students." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, looked up and said to everyone: "Okay, we should go, be careful not to be late."
