Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 746: Magic Model
Chapter 747 Magic Model
After receiving the letter, Albert decided to visit Hagrid at the hunting lodge to give him confidence, and by the way...well, he mainly went to take a few pictures of Buckbeak and wanted to use the Transfiguration Spell to conjure a A hippogriff is no easy task.
Albert first tried to deform the wood to create a contour model of Buckbeak, at least the appearance should not be too different from the body, otherwise it would be easy to be seen as a flaw.
Of course, models alone are not enough, you need to turn dead things into living things, which is actually not too difficult. As early as in the third grade transformation class, Professor McGonagall taught everyone the transformation spell, which is the The teapot turns into a turtle's spell.
But... there is still a big problem, the bigger the thing, the more difficult it will be to cast the spell.
If it was just to turn a stone into a hound, Albert would have been able to do that long ago, but Buckbeak is not small, and he is still a magical creature, and the transformation is far more difficult than turning a stone into a hound several times higher.
Albert's first attempt failed unsurprisingly. The hippogriff he turned into was smaller in size, and it didn't look like a living creature at all. The flaws could be seen at a glance.
After experiencing consecutive failures, Albert gave up his practice and planned to ask others for advice. Professor McGonagall is a ready-made expert in the field of deformation, much better than his half-baked.
"You want to use the Transfiguration Charm to make a dragon?" Professor McGonagall couldn't believe his ears after listening to Albert's words.
"No no, Professor, I just want to get a model, an active, lifelike model." Albert explained quickly, "You may have heard of the accident in the conservation of magical creatures class at the beginning of the school year. Greg's hippogriff is likely to be put to death, and I want to give him a gift to make him feel better."
"I heard about this too." Professor McGonagall's eyes softened.
"Do you know how to make a model like that?"
"If it's just a model, it shouldn't be a problem, but..." Professor McGonagall's tone paused and reminded: "It should be possible to conjure a fire dragon in theory, but it can't be done in practice, even if it is Dumbledore I am afraid it is difficult to achieve this level of deformation, you should be very clear, the larger the volume, the higher the deformation difficulty."
"What's the biggest creature you've ever changed?" Albert asked curiously.
"Turn the table into a pig." Professor McGonagall looked at Albert and smiled: "I think with your current ability, you should be able to do it to this extent."
"A display at the start of school?"
Albert still clearly remembers Professor McGonagall showing everyone the magic of a table turning into a pig in his first transfiguration class for freshmen.
Actually, Professor McGonagall is very happy that Albert has changed his research direction.
Ever since she knew that Albert's Patronus was a Gryphon, she didn't want Albert to undergo the Animagos transformation.
A wizard's Animagus is usually in the same form as his Patronus, and while there is no evidence of any connection between the two, it is clear that Animagus cannot be transformed into a magical beast, otherwise even her Also don't know what will happen.
However, what Professor McGonagall didn't know was that Albert did not give up on Animagus, but the transformation ritual was too cumbersome, and he planned to see if he could solve this problem at one time through the task.
After Professor McGonagall briefly explained how to make a magic model, Albert found that it was easier than expected to create a moving magic model.
"This is a good alternative."
Albert felt that his initial thought of turning into a hippogriff was a bit silly, completely overconfident in his own abilities.
After thanking Professor McGonagall, Albert planned to go to the library first and borrow a few transfiguration books recommended by Professor McGonagall.
Before leaving, Professor McGonagall hinted that he should use O. W. The Ls exam is the first priority, and the research on the transformation spell can be placed in the transformation improvement class of the sixth grade.
Albert is so addicted to his Transfiguration training that he almost misses dinner. When he hurriedly left the Room of Requirement and rushed to the lobby, he found that Lee Jordan was flipping through "The Sorting Broomstick" and seemed to be supplementing his Firebolt-related knowledge. In his words: if he behaved correctly on the field The fact that Firebolt doesn't know anything will make everyone feel that his commentary is very poor.
"If you can use this energy to review, I think you will definitely get a few more excellent grades." Albert couldn't help but complain.
"What are you doing with Professor McGonagall?"
"Discussing the Transfiguration," Albert said casually, "I was wondering if I could conjure a dragon."
"Wow, can this kind of thing be done?" Lee Jordan threw down the book in his hand and asked, "It would be cool to be able to ride on the back of a dragon."
Last time, not having the opportunity to ride Hagrid's Hippogriff made the three of them grudge for a long time.
"Theoretically possible, but basically impossible." Albert raised his wand and lightly tapped, and Lee Jordan's "Classified Broomstick" turned into a palm-sized Norwegian Ridgeback model.
Albert had seen the Norwegian Ridgeback that Hagrid kept, and the model on the table was made from that.
"It's so cool."
Lee Jordan put the model in his palm and looked at it carefully. It was really realistic, and the fire dragon was even spraying sparks at him.
After a while, Lee Jordan seemed to remember what this thing had changed, and turned his head to Albert and said, "Can you change it back, I haven't finished that book yet, and I have to put the book Give it back to Wood."
"Of course no problem."
Albert waved his wand, and the Norse Ridgeback model changed back to the Sorting Broom.
"I dare say this thing will be a big sell." Fred and George appeared out of nowhere, apparently seeing the scene of the fire dragon breathing fire.
"Transfiguration spells will gradually weaken over time." Albert shook his head.
"What happy things happened to you, let's be happy about them," Lee Jordan asked the smiling Weasley twins.
"The Slytherin team, ran to scout our training this evening, you didn't notice how ugly his face was." Fred and George looked at the Slytherin montage provocatively: " That group of people seems to have a big dung ball in their mouths. Then again, we don't have enough big dung eggs, when is the next time we go to Hogsmeade."
"Before Valentine's Day." Albert said without hesitation. Valentine's Day is Monday, which is certainly not a pleasant thing.
"Before that, Gryffindor had a game against Ravenclaw."
"I dare say the Slytherins would never want to see Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw and then compete with them for this year's Quidditch title," George pointed to Harry. To Malfoy, "They're jealous that Harry has Firebolts."
"Those guys are absolutely going to screw up, keep Harry out of the game, or find a way to get him off the broom again." Fred speculates on the Slytherin team with the worst malice he can.
"Don't worry, it's almost impossible, unless they can get the Dementors back ~IndoMTL.com~ but there is no way Professor Dumbledore will ever allow Dementors into Hogwarts again." Albert Of course he knew what Malfoy wanted to do, but he didn't plan to reveal anything, "Even if they wanted to cast a curse on the Firebolt, they couldn't do it, their level isn't up to that level, so you don't really need to worry about it. Lytlin's little gestures."
"What if they were pretending to be Dementors?" Lee Jordan asked tentatively.
"Why do you have such a weird idea?" Albert reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, sighing softly, with an expression that you can't do.
Fred and George also followed Albert's example and patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder, which made him a little puzzled.
"Hey, tell me clearly!"
"Your Defense Against the Dark Arts is getting stronger." Albert said speechlessly, "Do you think Harry Potter was afraid of Dementors? No, he was just influenced by Dementors, Not being passed out by a dementor, if Slytherin students pretend to be dementors, then I feel really sad for their families."
"Yeah, that's a sad story." Both Fred and George understood the meaning.
Yes, only the mentally handicapped would do that stupid thing!
