Hogwarts' Golden Glory

Kane's needles were unique, engraved with exquisite patterns.

That's right, the Slytherin house crest also has the four large letters "Slytherin" engraved on it.

Professor McGonagall was amazed by the young wizard's transfiguration.

She hadn't expected Kane to have such a high level of mastery over Transfiguration.

"Very good, very good. Given Kane's superb shapeshifting ability, I'll add another 5 points to his score."

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.

Everyone is curious: what exactly did Kane do? Why did he get 10 extra points?

Hermione was also a little curious at this point, as she had originally thought that her speed and finishing quality were similar to Kane's.

However, judging from Professor McGonagall's rating, Kane seems to be much better than herself.

So she reached out and took the needle that Kane had turned into between her fingers.

You won't be surprised if you don't look!

The exquisite patterns on it are lifelike.

She was deeply attracted by the Slytherin crest and those four large letters.

She also had to admit that Kane did a much better job than her.

Draco didn't think much of it; he was already grateful for the extra points, and pursuing anything better wouldn't suit him.

Moreover, in his mind, Kane was far superior to him, and by a significant margin.

Professor McGonagall looked at Kane before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Such a promising talent, I wish he were her Gryffindor student.

However, she was now curious about the extent to which the child had mastered shapeshifting techniques.

Do I need to change my teaching method specifically for the other party?

It must be said that Professor McGonagall is very responsible and always tries to take care of each of her students.

"Kane, come to my office after class. I'd like to check on your studies. You can ask me anything you don't understand."

Professor McGonagall then turned and left to help the students who hadn't finished.

Kane was overjoyed; he was sure he had struck gold by getting a private lesson from this Transfiguration master.

In his memory, Dumbledore was also a master of Transfiguration, but unfortunately, he would never receive any instruction from him.

Draco then went to teach his two underlings how to do it, but their attempts left him speechless, calling them "idiots!"

They completely forgot that they had gone through the same thing themselves.

Fortunately, the two eventually succeeded in turning their matches into a needle, although the needle was a little too thick.

Of course, no matter how carefully Professor McGonagall explained the lesson, some people still didn't finish it in the end.

Professor McGonagall had no intention of going overtime and stood on the podium, saying:

"Everyone should practice diligently when they get back."

They then called Kane and left the classroom.

Professor McGonagall's office was a small study in the second-floor corridor.

Through the windows, you can also see the Quidditch pitch.

"Mr. Kane, please have a seat."

Professor McGonagall gestured for Kane to sit down.

He then picked up a thick notebook from the bookshelf behind him.

Then he said to Kane:

"Could you first tell me what problems you've encountered in your recent studies of Transfiguration that you haven't yet solved?"

On one hand, she wanted to help Kane solve these problems.

On the other hand, I wanted to understand the extent of Kane's mastery of Transfiguration through these questions.

"Professor, actually I want to try Animagus."

Upon hearing Kane's answer, Professor McGonagall gasped!

Is this kid trying to get rich quick?

It's important to know that Animagus is an extremely dangerous form of transformation.

It allows wizards to switch between animal and human forms.

Although extremely convenient, it is very difficult to learn.

It requires complex incantations, magical rituals, and a highly focused mental state.

Even the slightest mistake during learning could lead to a serious magical accident.

For example, one part of the body can transform into an animal form while the other parts remain human.

If this transformation is not completed, it will cause serious damage to the wizard's body!

Are you sure your current level of Transfiguration is sufficient to do this?

Professor McGonagall did not immediately object; she sensed that Kane was not a boastful little wizard.

"Professor, you saw the Elementary Transformation class just now."

"For intermediate transformations."

Kane paused for a moment, then took out his wand and placed a book he was carrying on the table.

Then he waved his wand.

The original book has been transformed into a small bird, and its appearance is very realistic.

The details of the feathers and the proportions of the wings are of an extremely high standard.

Professor McGonagall remained silent upon witnessing this.

This is indeed an intermediate-level deformation, which involves non-essentially deforming a complex structure.

"As for advanced transformations, I feel that there isn't anything convenient to demonstrate in the professor's office."

Kane continued, glancing around at his surroundings.

Advanced transformations involve the transformation of life forms.

It can temporarily transform one animal into another.

Of course, permanently transforming one life form into another is not permitted!

It's not that it's impossible, but rather due to ethical issues.

Professor McGonagall understood immediately.

He turned around, opened the door, and walked towards a hidden room that led to a bedroom with a gravel floor.

When Professor McGonagall returned, she was carrying a cage with a small white mouse inside.

Sure enough, whether in the wizarding world or the Muggle world, lab rats can never escape their fate of having to make sacrifices.

"Try turning it into a cat."

For some reason, Professor McGonagall seems to have a particular fondness for cats.

Kane didn't refuse, since he was indeed capable of doing it.

So Kane waved his wand.

It transformed from a white mouse into a tabby cat with clearly defined, somewhat regular stripes.

At this moment, the "cat" made a series of "meow" sounds.

Professor McGonagall observed it carefully for a while and found that the "cat" did not turn into the original white mouse or show any signs of morphological instability.

This shows that Kane has plenty of magic.

And because its body had grown so large and the cage space was insufficient, the "cat" kept scratching at the cage. It's clear that the transformation technique is quite stable.

Professor McGonagall transformed the cat into the original white mouse and set it aside.

"Mr. Kane, you have truly astonished me!"

Professor McGonagall praised Kane sincerely.

She had never seen a student possess such advanced Transfiguration skills right from the start of their studies!

"It seems I can consider what you're saying, but I need to consult the headmaster first. After all, you're a Hogwarts student, and the school is responsible for your safety."

Professor McGonagall had barely finished speaking when the door to her office opened.

Dumbledore bent down and walked in through the low doorway, speaking to himself.

"Excuse me, Professor McGonagall, please forgive my uninvited appearance."
