From Azkaban To Hogwarts - Vol 7 Chapter 558
Chapter 561 Are you kidding me?
“The greenhouse is still under construction… The funds seem to be a little rich… This week, I will start to organize and repair an empty classroom.”
“Although the consumption of materials in Potions class hasn’t increased, Professor Slughorn’s meal expenses seem to be a bit high—forget it, let him, that Neville kid can actually be in Potions class. It’s amazing to show such talent…”
“Professor William has to be urged to start his club – he’s been teaching for years, and he hasn’t started his own club yet… The Ministry of Magic’s exclusive funding needs to be used…”
“Professor Snape has applied for a new batch of incense… Hell, why is he so snarky now than Sybil?”
“The wine that Professor Trelawney applied for, forget it, give it to her, Albus doesn’t know what to think, he has to let Snape teach divination…”
“That’s it for this week’s spending – what’s next is the head-scratcher…”
Professor McGonagall put down the various bills in his hand and frowned.
The report that followed was unpleasant – Gryffindor students were happy in their pranks, but it was disgraceful to see the punishment records for those pranks handed over to her Dean. The plan to resign under this stall.
When she endured the headache to get the thing in her hand, her heart also became heavy with the information – it was about a third thicker than last week…
Fortunately, after starting the review, Professor McGonagall’s headache has eased a lot – not all students are so outrageous, because of the self-defense course, most of them are reports of seventh graders being pulled to clean up, which is very annoying. People are relieved.
“The Weasley Brothers—the mastermind, I knew…”
After seeing the report of the twins, Professor McGonagall even felt a little relieved – not easy!
Seven years, seven full years! Since the Weasley twins entered school, Gryffindor’s scores have been up and down like a roller coaster!
If the two were not smart enough to do their best in the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall felt that he couldn’t bear it any longer – of course, this has something to do with the excellent performance of the two on the Gryffindor team…
But in any case, the things in front of her are nothing compared to the two people’s numerous victories. On the contrary, if the two of them don’t violate the rules these days, she will be more worried.
‘Just let them graduate at this frequency of violations…’
Professor McGonagall silently said what others could not believe, and put down the report of violation with ease, and started to pick up the work of Transfiguration and began to approve it – very good, the violation is not outrageous and it is normal.
“Tontoon!”
The knock on the door interrupted Professor McGonagall’s work. She glanced at the door curiously, “Please come in.”
The door slammed open—with a visceral smile on Professor McGonagall’s face when the visitor’s face was revealed.
It’s Granger, Hermione Granger.
The first place in the fifth grade, got a lot of points for the college, excellent grades, love to learn, and rarely lose points and violate discipline in other Gryffindors – which professor doesn’t like this kind of student, and which dean doesn’t like it?
That’s why Snape’s stereotyped pedigree and professors who only know how to get grades for their own college will be dissatisfied.
‘That is to say, there is no Slytherin assigned, and Slytherin is assigned to Snape more than anyone else…’
As Professor McGonagall thought so, the smile on her face became kinder—she had always liked this student, and had applied for a time-turner for her before.
“Is there a problem, Miss Granger?”
Professor McGonagall is ready to spend a little time tutoring the top student – her recent grades have been a bit overwhelmed by other students, but she is still well-deserved first.
She can fully understand Granger’s nervousness and anxiety. After all, she is usually very concerned about grades, and this is infinitely magnified in the OWLs year.
But the problem is not big, she has dealt with similar problems many times, and she is quite good.
“professor…”
Hermione was a little nervous, she didn’t know if it was too early for a showdown – but she did need help with a little problem, and Professor McGonagall was the best person in the school.
“What’s the matter, don’t be nervous, speak slowly.”
Professor McGonagall was at ease, knowing she couldn’t put more pressure on the student now.
“It’s…that’s…”
Hermione couldn’t help but look back at the door – although the person in front of her was actually the most terrifying person in Hogwarts, she still had some inexplicable worry.
“Alright alright.”
Professor McGonagall waved her wand gently and locked the door of her office, although no one in the whole school dared to break into her office.
“what!”
The next moment, Professor McGonagall’s surprised voice almost flew out through the office door and spread throughout Hogwarts.
In front of her, a tiger that was definitely not petite in size appeared and looked up at her – but that look didn’t have the arrogance of a tiger at all, instead it was, um, how to say it, panic.
‘No, what am I thinking? ’
Professor McGonagall shook her head – her originally very clear thoughts had now turned into a mess, and she couldn’t manage her thoughts for a while.
She is a professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts. She has a Transfiguration club. She has seen all kinds of geniuses. For her, the OWLs full certificate is not too surprising, it is a little more difficult. , but it will always appear after a few years.
But—such a perfect human deformation, even she has never seen it a few times in school. To be precise, among the students, with such a high degree of completion, there may not be one in ten years, and they are basically seventh grade.
You said that there are many wizards in the UK who can master human body transformation, but they don’t do it in school at all. Even those students in the Transfiguration Club who can partially transform when they graduate are considered top students.
‘She’s only fifth grade! ’
‘Such a perfect transfiguration! ’
Professor McGonagall always felt that she knew something about Hermione’s talents, but today it seems that she underestimated the student in front of her.
However—this part of the course is not accessible to the lower grades! Human body deformation is such a difficult course that the students in the club conduct research under her guidance. Where did she get the relevant information?
Not right either – we’ll have to see if there are any serious consequences for her rash transformation…
“Meow!”
Just when Professor McGonagall couldn’t confirm his true thoughts for a while, the seemingly ferocious tiger in front of him made a very simple and honest… cat meowing…
‘cat meow? ’
Professor McGonagall stared at Hermione—yes, it was a tiger, just an illusion?
Then, another cat meow, even with a little clip, completely pulled Professor McGonagall back from her fantasy.
“One more call, Miss Granger.”
As the meowing sounded again, Professor McGonagall was sure something had happened to the seemingly perfect human transformation.
“Restore first, Miss Granger.”
She patiently instructed her, thinking about how she learned it before, and whether it was a violation or not, all the thoughts were thrown behind her mind.
When Hermione returned to her previous appearance with a little blush, she pulled Hermione and began to examine it carefully.
First of all, there is no need to doubt the brain – the brain is broken and cannot be restored.
Then there are the eyebrows, the eyes, the nose – no problem, just the front teeth are a little too small, but that could be an illusion.
“The head is fine…”
Professor McGonagall nodded – except for a problem with his head, even if something went wrong, it was extremely easy to save.
The arms are fine, the legs are fine, the stomach and other parts are fine, there is no extra tail or anything, everything is fine, except for the sound, it is almost a perfect transfiguration.
“Can you change anything?”
“I can’t, Professor… I’ve just mastered the first transformation completely,” Hermione shook her head, “but the sound is like that.”
If she hadn’t been frightened, she would never have looked for a professor so quickly.
The first time the cat barked, she was frightened by herself—how could a tiger bark like that?
“The first one?”
Professor McGonagall thought for a while, and then with some uncertainty, “Where did you refer to the tiger, did Hagrid catch one in the Forbidden Forest?”
A non-dangerous creature like a tiger is not a threat at all if it is placed in the forbidden forest, and it is naturally impossible for Hagrid to report it.
“No, I’m referring to Crookshanks…because the same body type is a little easier to change, so…”
This explanation made Professor McGonagall not know what to say for a while – for the first time, no, she should have realized before that this Granger was more outrageous than anyone else!
Before transforming the human body, you must use magic to analyze the creature you want to transform in an all-round way, and then you can try to perfectly transform yourself or others into the creature you want to transform into.
This is not Animagus, it is set from the beginning, and what shape depends on its own understanding – which is why there are not many people who are willing to invest time in human body transformation.
It needs a magic wand, a fully deformed creature has no magic power at all, and it may be planted on top of itself, and incomplete deformation will not provide much combat ability…
For the enemy, Transfiguration has no effect at all without the strength of crushing. If it is not for the advantage of flexibility in use after mastering various transformations, it is almost like a vase.
But this is indeed the top technique of Transfiguration, and it is also very effective for the improvement of Transfiguration.
“Isn’t anyone telling you that you need to fully refer to the transformed species before transforming?”
“But the book also says that creatures of the same size are easier to change, and similar creatures are of great reference value. Tigers are also cats…”
“What feline?”
Professor McGonagall was a little stunned, then remembered that it was a Muggle classification, “Cats are different from tigers, cats can become wizards’ pets, but tigers can’t, cats have magic power, and the classification of magic is different from Muggle pets. Classification is two different things.”
She taught Hermione a lesson while thinking of the perfect remedy.
“I’ll let Hagrid get one in the Forbidden Forest. You can watch it in your spare time in the future, and strive to perfect your first human deformation object as soon as possible…”
“Can’t I use cats?”
“No,” Professor McGonagall shook his head. “You’d better not make drastic changes until the first humanoid creatures are fully imitated—that’s dangerous behavior.”
“In addition, you… um, come to me every Wednesday night for tutoring, and I need to thoroughly understand the progress of your body transformation.”
“Also, you are not allowed to show such skills to other classmates, and you are not allowed to use them anywhere outside my office…”
“…”
Professor McGonagall gave Hermione a bunch of no-nos in one fell swoop—she was horrified by the imperfect Transfiguration.
—
“what?”
In William’s office, William, who had just brought out a large plate of snacks, opened his mouth wide.
“Are you kidding, Professor?”
He looked at Professor McGonagall, not sure that the more serious professor than Moody was bragging from time to time.
“No, Professor William.”
“So, you’re saying that Miss Granger completed the most difficult full-body transformation in Transfiguration when she was in fifth grade, and she was able to do it with ease?”
William even canceled the intention of tearing the snack in his hand.
What a joke!
That’s Transfiguration – Harry learned Animagus, that’s a family tradition, and Hermione Granger just stole it and figured out Transfiguration to this level?
“Yeah, that’s right, so I decided to give her a little more schoolwork.”
Professor McGonagall looked quite happy. “You know what I mean, Professor William.”
“Animagus?”
William spread his hands, “It’s not fair to the other students…and she’s in the OWLs…well, it doesn’t seem like this is a big problem…”
He himself denied it.
OWLs are a thing for other students – but tops for four years in a row?
What is this problem called.
“Okay… it’s always the professor’s responsibility to add some class to a good student—but are you sure she’s okay with that?”
“No problem, the rest of the students are not at the level of Transfiguration, which is not difficult for her.”
Professor McGonagall was serious—the school had Thunderbirds and top students, and getting an Animagus wasn’t a big deal.
Hermione finished the fifth grade, which other students couldn’t reach after graduation. Is there any problem with teaching her? This is even safer than a time converter.
“Yes,” William sighed, he didn’t dare to actually cast spells now, “then it’s settled, the next full moon will start, I’ll prepare the needed potions, UU read www.uukanshu.com you Go and tell Hagrid to prepare everything.”
“Then please, Professor William.”
Professor McGonagall nodded, “I will report for her later.”
“By the way, there is a report coming…”
William just remembered – he could easily get an absolutely legal filing statement, but not for students.
“By the way,” he remembered, “Professor, um, Miss Granger’s Animagos shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, his steps stiffened, and then replied in his usual voice, “Granger is one of the rare students who doesn’t violate the rules very much.”
“that would be great.”
William nodded with a smile, watched Professor McGonagall leave, and then a doubt emerged.
“Wait… If it’s not illegal, how did she get the information?”
