HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Before long, all the students arrived.

The school bell rang, but Professor McGonagall was nowhere to be seen, which made the young wizards gradually restless.

"Hasn't Professor McGonagall arrived yet?"

"Was something wrong that caused this?"

"Should we send someone to look for it?"

"That sounds like a good idea, but where are you going to look for it?"

"Well..."

Professor McGonagall sat upright on the lectern, quietly observing the scene unfolding in the classroom.

She is waiting.

When the young wizards' restless emotions reach a critical point and they are about to lose their temper, that will be the perfect moment for her to make her appearance and put on a show!

Now, the time is ripe!

Just as Professor McGonagall was about to take action, a voice came from the Hufflepuff area.

"Eleven, why do you think Professor McGonagall hasn't arrived yet?"

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall, who had already extended her claws, suddenly stopped.

She was eager to know what this extraordinary little wizard was thinking.

The other young wizards in the classroom also fell silent at almost the same time, all looking at Elivin as if he were the pillar of support for everyone present.

"Who said Professor McGonagall didn't come?"

"Didn't she arrive a long time ago?!"

Elaine's calm voice stunned all the young wizards in the classroom, who began to look around, searching the room.

However, they still couldn't find Professor McGonagall.

Ernie asked again, "Where is Professor McGonagall? I can't see her."

"It's right on the lectern!"

Everyone followed Elaine's gaze to the lectern.

At the same time, the tabby cat got up and pounced forward, its body rapidly changing in mid-air. By the time its feet landed, it had transformed into Professor McGonagall.

"Wow—!" ×N

A series of exclamations rang out in the classroom.

All the young wizards were stunned by this meticulously prepared entrance.

They never imagined that this tabby cat was actually Professor McGonagall, whom they had been waiting for for so long.

Hearing the voices coming from beside her, Professor McGonagall was extremely satisfied.

Yes, yes, this is exactly the effect I wanted!

The only pity is that there was still one little wizard who wasn't "shocked" by himself.

Professor McGonagall looked at Elaine: "Thanks to Mr. Yakut's excellent observation skills, Hufflepuff gets 5 points!"

The young wizards present all applauded.

They didn't think it was unfair; they all believed that Elaine deserved the 5 points, since he was the only one present who recognized Professor McGonagall.

After Ernie finished clapping, he leaned close to Elaine's ear and asked, "Elaine, how did you figure out that this cat was Professor McGonagall? Did you actually recognize it?"

His voice wasn't loud, just loud enough for everyone in the classroom to hear.

So the other young wizards and Professor McGonagall all quieted down and waited for Elaine's answer.

They also wanted to know how Elaine figured it out.

"Of course I didn't see it; my eyesight isn't good enough to see through the changes in the Animagus."

Elaine smiled faintly: "I just gathered some information about a few professors at Hogwarts beforehand."

Admittedly, Elaine's natural talent combined with the system's enhancements have indeed made him far stronger than his peers. However, Animagus is, after all, the most advanced form of transformation in the world, and his current eyesight is not yet sufficient to see through it.

Justin asked, "What are Animagus?!"

Just as Elaine was about to explain, Professor McGonagall interrupted him.

"quiet!"

"Please wait until after class to discuss topics unrelated to this lesson!"

Professor McGonagall glanced at Justin as she spoke, which startled him so much that he immediately shut up.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell in your Hogwarts courses. Anyone who misbehaves in my class will be asked to leave and never be allowed to come back."

As she spoke, she pointed her wand backward, and the podium instantly transformed into a bloated, fat pig. The pig grunted twice before returning to its original form.

Upon seeing this, the students immediately looked on with great anticipation.

The Transfiguration class has officially begun.

The first lesson was about turning a match into a needle.

Professor McGonagall first explained the incantation and casting method to everyone, then distributed the props, and the students began to practice.

Elaine was the first to finish.

After more than ten days of training before entering school, he had already mastered Transfiguration to a considerable extent.

"Transform instantly!"

With a light tap of the wand, the match instantly turned into a silver needle.

The needle is a cute little badger, and the name "Eleven Yakut" is engraved on the needle.

Professor McGonagall walked over and examined Elaine's silver needles. Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "A perfect Transfiguration Charm! Add another 5 points for Hufflepuff!!"

After Professor McGonagall left, the people around her excitedly asked Elaine for her advice.

"Eleven, how did you do that? Is there a trick to it?"

"The trick is..."

Elaine thought for a moment, "You must first concentrate and visualize the appearance of the object you want to transform in your mind, the more detailed the better, and then use magic to shape it..."

Mental strength and focus are not problems for Elaine;

As for 'shaping', it's even simpler for him, who is proficient in 'ice shaping magic'.

In fact, before coming to Hogwarts, Elaine had combined the content of the Transfiguration textbook with his consultations with other wizards in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, and summarized several insights about this magic:

1. There must be a target for the spell; it cannot be created out of thin air.

2. It cannot become something outside of one's own understanding.

This is one of the five exceptions to Gamp's fundamental law of transformation;

3. When a wizard transforms a 'transformed object' into a 'changed object', the transformed object possesses the physical properties of the changed object, but does not possess the chemical or magical properties of the changed object.

—This is one of the five exceptions: "cannot conjure magical items";

4. If it is an animal, then the transformed object will acquire the biological characteristics, abilities, and habits of the transformed object, but will not possess the soul, intelligence, and vitality of the transformed object.

—It cannot give life;

5. If the attempt is made to affect the chemical properties of the object being transformed, the Transfiguration Charm will be destroyed, and the object will revert to its original state. However, if the attempt is only made to affect the physical properties of the object, the Transfiguration Charm will not be destroyed, and the object itself will remain unaffected.

This is the reason why it "cannot produce food". It is not that it cannot produce or cannot be eaten, but that it cannot be digested like normal food.

6. The transformation technique will fail if the physical properties of the object being transformed are destroyed too thoroughly or if the objects are scattered too much after destruction.

—It cannot be turned into a gas or other volatile substance;

7. The stronger a being's vitality, the stronger its ability to resist transformation magic.

8. Polymorph cannot last forever; the magic applied to the object of polymorphing will gradually fade over time.
