Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 62 Chapter 61: The black magic teacher discovered his beloved disciple?
A successful magic experiment!

A perfect confirmation of the hypothesis!

at this moment.

Ian was sure of what he was thinking.

The essence of Transfiguration is indeed slightly different from other magic.

Professor McGonagall was not wrong.

Transfiguration is special among many kinds of magic.

If we view magical spells such as [Avada Kedavra], [Incendiary Curse], and [Vulcan Clears the Way] as pointing to the paths that one brilliant wizard after another has discovered on their own.

The path pointed by the spell of transfiguration actually belongs to the field explored by ancient and modern wizards together. This field also allowed Ian to see a wider world.

“The fog in front of my eyes has completely dissipated. From now on, there is no obstacle on the road ahead. Now, all I need to do is keep working hard and then reach the scenery I see.”

Six points of [Transfiguration] proficiency were added to Ian's personal panel, which was no less impressive than some of his more special magical talents.

Such talent can definitely be called outstanding. It turns out that Ian’s talent for Transfiguration was not too poor, but he just couldn’t find the right direction.

If one wants to explore the mysteries of the magical path of transfiguration, learners need to truly possess the vision that a wizard should have, and understand that wizards give rules to matter rather than just distorting it.

Other young wizards may never understand this in their entire lives, but after all, they will not consider too many factors like Ian, and they can naturally complete the transformation of objects according to the professor's instructions.

Of course, this kind of Transfiguration is just like rote learning, knowing the results but not the reasons. This is why most wizards' Transfiguration skills are only superficial.

"Transforming objects into living creatures is the best way to verify one's level of Transfiguration..." Ian thought of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club. It is said that the threshold for joining is to transform into a lifelike creature.

He was moved.

He raised his wand and prepared to give it a try.

The owls in the owl shed were all quite intelligent. When they saw Ian pull out the fire stick again, they all fled away quickly like birds and beasts.

Well, they are birds.

"Vera Verto!"

Driven by magic, several strands of straw were woven wildly and their colors began to change. After the rapid transformation, a lifelike mouse appeared in front of Ian.

Very realistic.

But Ian always felt that it was lacking some characteristics - it was quite different from the leopard that Professor McGonagall had transformed using the podium, and it was not as vivid as a real creature.

in other words.

That is, life has not really been given to the creature. The little mouse that Ian transformed was dull and could move, but the posture and feeling of its movement even made the owls in the shed feel strange.

What kind of stupid mouse is this?

A group of owls huddled in the distance tilted their heads in confusion.

"Sure enough, it's much more difficult to transform creatures."

Ian was not discouraged. This was only the third level of [Transfiguration]. Once it could be upgraded to the fifth level, his skills with [Extraordinary Characteristics] would definitely undergo a qualitative change.

"It's getting late. If I don't go eat now, I'll be hungry in the afternoon." Ian looked at the big clock on the tower outside the window and revoked the [Influence] he had released.

So, the stupid mouse turned back into straw, and the spiked dead mouse that looked like a Diablo monster, the spikes on its body also "degenerated" into straw again.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Ian gave some advice to the owls and trotted out of the shed... Before he reached the spiral staircase, Ian saw a stern wizard walking towards him.

Ronnie Erich.

Supplies for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts.

"Professor Erich."

Ian greeted the warrior teacher politely.

Regardless of whether Hogwarts will still remember this teacher next year, at least this year he will open his eyes and see the effect of Voldemort's curse with his own eyes.

Enter the game personally.

How could this not be considered another form of careful instruction in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class? "Yeah."

Professor Ronnie Ehrlich nodded slightly, with a cold attitude, and brushed past Ian. He was obviously not very talkative, and Ian thought that this professor might be the one with autism.

Ian, who was thinking about his lunch, jogged towards the stairs. He did not notice that a moment after passing by him, Ronnie Erich stopped and turned to stare at him for a long time.

Only when Ian's voice disappeared around the corner did Ronnie Erich turn around and walk towards the Owl Shed. He pulled out a letter from his robe.

"Singer Stationery House, Austria."

Ronnie Erich handed the letter to an owl. There was a strange pattern on the seal of his letter, like some kind of restriction made of magic words.

After instructing the destination, Ronnie Erich took out a handful of high-end pet snacks. After the owl had a hearty meal, it flapped its wings and flew out the window with his letter.

Ronnie Erich watched the owl fly away from Hogwarts and become an indistinguishable dot in the sky. Only then did he turn his gaze away and prepare to leave.

"Ok?"

When he was leaving the window, he suddenly saw a dead mouse in the corner. The owls did not eat it, and the dead mouse with straw stuck all over its body just lay there quietly.

"what……"

Ronnie Erich squatted down, picked up the dead mouse without any disgust, and examined it carefully. The straw came out from the mouse's body.

How can soft straw be so sharp?

"Transfiguration?"

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor murmured softly. The incomparably rich knowledge in his mind made him seem to see what had happened not long ago, and he figured out the reason why the mouse died in such a way.

"That's interesting."

Ronnie Erich squatted by the window of the shed and looked up at the long corridor outside, where he and Ian had passed each other before.

There was some surprise, some enthusiasm in his eyes, and also a kind of... excitement as if he had suddenly realized something.

……

Ian was one of the last little wizards to arrive for lunch.

When you are full and satisfied.

He did not return to the dormitory to take a nap like students from other colleges, nor did he return to the common room to review afternoon classes like his Ravenclaw classmates.

The library of Hogwarts is a place that Ian has always missed. It has the richest collection of books in the entire European wizarding world, and contains the experience summarized by countless talented people throughout the ages.

Even though Dumbledore had moved most of the books in the restricted section into his own headmaster's office and hid them, the remaining books were enough for most wizards to learn in their lifetime.

Thousands of bookshelves.

It includes but is not limited to the history of magic, magical theory, magical creatures, magic potions, magic spells, as well as special areas such as the restricted books area and the invisible books area.

There were bookshelves in countless narrow passages, and the size of the books was enough to daunt even the poor students. The towering bookshelves forced Ian to use a ladder to find the books he wanted.

From Cat to Hawk: A Practical Guide to Transfiguration.

"The Taboos and Risks of Transfiguration".

Transfiguration and Telepathy.

……

Ian placed a pile of books related to Transfiguration on the table, which was piled up enough to block him sitting on the chair. This was actually not what Ian wanted to study in the library at the beginning.

But Professor McGonagall's teachings were extremely useful. Now Ian has become very interested in Transfiguration.

Once you carefully study the different spells and effects in the field of Transfiguration, you will find an interesting fact, that is, all the knowledge related to Transfiguration is actually just Transfiguration techniques. They are slightly different from the "methods" explored and formulated by others. The spells of Transfiguration are more just to reduce the difficulty of casting.

Use the least [influence] to achieve more real impact. It is not difficult to find from the spell [Vera Verto] that spells that are more skill-oriented can be used to transform different things.

The direction it points to is not limited to the result that has been determined by predecessors.

In fact, the general direction of Transfiguration is to do whatever you want and make your dreams come true. It is the farther scenery that Ian sees when he stands on the path explored by his predecessors - the art of making wishes!
