Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 22: Dangerous Transfiguration

Sean has experienced the beauty of magic a lot, but what he looks forward to and is most optimistic about is Transfiguration. If you recall carefully, you will find that Dumbledore and Voldemort, the master wizards, like to use transfiguration more often.

If the spells you learned in Charms class are about daily life, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; the spells you learned in Defense Against the Dark Arts class are about combat and defense, and advanced mathematics; then, Transfiguration is more like applied physics.

Of course, this is just an imprecise analogy. For Sean, his imagination of magic is limited to this.

The more charm of Transfiguration requires a pioneer like Professor McGonagall to answer him.

Obviously, Professor McGonagall's majesty and wisdom have been in everyone's heart at the moment of meeting, and the little wizards of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have already taken their seats before class time.

However, since the course hasn't started yet, the freshmen are discussing it enthusiastically.

A child from a wizarding family like Harry kept telling the freshmen around him about riding a broomstick when he was a child. In his stories, most of the endings were helicopters that escaped the Muggles in a thrilling manner. He has an outstanding appearance and a generous shot, and he already has the temperament of the new leader of Gryffindor, so others are convinced by his story.

Sean secretly smiled. He thought that the normal ending should be that Harry was captured by Sirius riding a flying motorcycle.

Hermione was not very interested in Harry's story, "The wind near the helicopter is very strong, the broomstick will be sucked over." She muttered.

When the class time started, Professor McGonagall still did not appear in the classroom. Ron teased the cat on the podium, and said to his friends: "Professor McGonagall looks so strict, so he will be late."

As soon as the words fell, the tabby cat with lines around its eyes trembled and turned into a witch in emerald green robes.

"You needn't worry about that, Mr. Weasley," she said seriously.

Ron and his friends were stunned.

The other students, including Sean, also watched this scene in shock, and everyone had a thought: "This is, Transfiguration..."

Professor McGonagall glanced around with stern eyes, she stood at the edge of the podium with her hands behind her back, and said in the most serious voice:

"Transfiguration is the most complicated and dangerous magic you have learned at Hogwarts. Anyone—" She glanced at the Gryffindors headed by Harry, and emphasized her tone, "If anyone misbehaves in my class, I will ask him out and never allow him to come in again. I have warned you."

Everyone sat up straight unconsciously, not daring to breathe.

Professor McGonagall went to the blackboard and wrote a few big characters.

"Transformation is not permanent!"

"Magic power has a time limit on objects, depending on each person's level, it lasts from tens of minutes to several hours. And after the magic power is released, the deformed thing will return to its original shape! Everyone, keep this in mind, this is the root cause of the complexity and danger of Transfiguration. I don't care how far you can learn Transfiguration in the future, but if someone forgets this..." She glanced at everyone again. Although there was no last sentence, everyone understood what she meant.

"So, Mr. Wallop," she glanced at the parchment and named Sean's name, "Suppose, I turn this parchment into a piece of fudge, and you eat it, what will happen in a few hours."

Sean stood up and returned seriously: "It will turn back into parchment, professor."

"That's right, what if the jelly candy is changed from the table or steel?"

"They will also become the same," Sean paused, "Those wood residues and steel fragments will stay in your stomach, and even, if there are absorbed parts, it... there will be wood dust and steel fragments in your body tissues."

"Very well, you have already figured out the key point." Professor McGonagall asked Sean to sit down, and his tone became more serious, "At that time, people who accidentally eat deformed objects need to be right next to St. Mungo's Magical Hospital to survive."

She leaned forward and said word by word: "Not only food, but you must also never turn anything into liquid or gas. The liquid will evaporate and the gas will evaporate. If someone happens to inhale it, it will also be irreversible!"

"I warn all of you that Transfiguration is not a prank. Whoever dares to make fun of this thing, I will personally fire him."

Professor McGonagall has a majestic image. After these more serious and threatening words, everyone swallowed unconsciously, but they also firmly remembered what Professor McGonagall said.

"Now, can someone tell me what the basic law of Gamp's transformation is?"

Sean raised his hand before Hermione.

"Mr. Wallop."

"First, you can't conjure food out of thin air, and you can't turn other things into delicacies~IndoMTL.com~ Second, you can't turn something into a magical creation, that's something only an alchemist can do."

"Thirdly, you cannot conjure magical metals, such as gold. You can only conjure iron blocks shining with gold at most."

"Fourth, dead objects cannot be given life. Transfiguration can temporarily turn a dead object into a living thing, but that living thing only constructs a living tissue structure, and it is not considered "life" in the strict sense."

"Finally," Sean looked at Professor McGonagall with a satisfied look, "Transfiguration cannot change the number of items, one cannot become two, but I have mentioned other methods in the book, I don't know about this, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction, and let him sit down: "Very good, Ravenclaw adds five points. As for your last question, Mr. Wallop. The rules you memorized are correct, one cannot become two, but two ones can be added together to become two. This kind of advanced combination transformation will be mentioned in senior grades."

After getting the answer, Sean nodded suddenly, but he still raised his hand.

"Any more questions, Mr. Wallop."

"Professor, you just mentioned that liquids and gases cannot be deformed, but I don't quite understand. After all, some wizards..." Sean raised doubts, because wizards cannot all be gentlemen, if someone turns a piece of steel into water, and then sprinkles it on the playground at noon. The water evaporates rapidly, wouldn't those who inhale it suffer?

Professor McGonagall signaled him to stop, gave him a deep look with bright and majestic eyes, and said, "I understand your doubts, stay after class."

Huh? Sean was stunned, I haven't said the specific question yet, and shouldn't the answer to the question be told to all the students?
