The next second, in the shocked eyes of the two, the cat on the podium jumped down, transformed into a human form in the air, and turned into the appearance of Professor McGonagall.

Ron and Harry were stunned.

The expressions of the freshmen around were similar. They didn't know that the cat in front of them was actually Professor McGonagall. At the same time, they were glad that they were not late and did not do anything they shouldn't have done.

For example, petting a cat.

Only Hermione remained calm.

"That's amazing..." Ron praised after coming back to his senses, but the embarrassment on his face had already exposed his inner thoughts.

"Thank you for your comments, Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, "Perhaps I should turn you and Mr. Potter into a pocket watch, so that at least one of you can keep time."

Harry whispered in defense: "We are lost..."

“Then it will become a map.”

Looking at Professor McGonagall who had no smile on her face, the two kids wisely kept their mouths shut.

"Go sit down."

After hearing what McGonagall said, the two of them felt as if they had been pardoned. They looked around and suddenly their eyes lit up. Then they came directly to Hermione and sat down in a familiar manner.

Hermione didn't even raise her head, and the two of them didn't care, even craning their necks to look at the book in her hands.

Although Hermione was cold, so far, apart from each other, they were really the most familiar with her among the freshmen.

As for Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall did not conduct any actual teaching, but gave a brief explanation of the basic rules and various branches of Transfiguration.

Animagus, summoning, apparition, cross-species transformation, human body transformation, etc.

At the same time, he showed off his skills a little, causing the little wizards to exclaim in surprise.

The first class ended happily.

After class, the little wizards walked around and talked about the magical phenomenon that had just happened.

"Did you see that? A mouse turned into a glass!" Ron shouted excitedly to Harry.

In fact, Harry also felt incredible. This was the first time he truly felt that he had come to the real magical world.

Seeing that Hermione still looked calm, Harry couldn't help but ask, "Hermione, don't you think Professor McGonagall's move just now was amazing?"

He didn't understand why the beautiful girl in front of him always had a calm expression no matter what the situation was.

Obviously, I am about the same age as them.

Thinking of this, Harry suddenly had an idea and asked, "Could it be that you, like Ron, also come from a wizard family?"

Hermione shook her head, "No, my parents are both Muggles."

Ron's face froze when he heard this, indicating that he was very hurt.

He was a man from an orthodox wizard family, yet he was still shouting. The girl in front of him had never been exposed to magic before, but she seemed to be much more knowledgeable than him.

"Hmm..." Hermione paused, thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed very impressive, but once you learn it, you will find that it is just that simple."

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

Ron was unconvinced and said, "You say that as if you would do the same."

"Yes, I do," Hermione nodded.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, their eyes wide open, as if they had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.

Ron was just unhappy with Hermione's attitude of not taking anything seriously, so he deliberately said something. He didn't expect Hermione to admit it directly!

This left him at a loss as to what to do.

Although Harry didn't say anything, his eyes were full of doubts.

Hermione saw that the two did not believe her and said with a half-smile, "What would I do if I really did that?"

Ron pouted and said, "Humph, then I'll eat Harry's quill. Are you satisfied?"

Harry:? ? ?

No, if you two are making a bet, why are you using my things as stakes?

"it is good."

Hermione didn't say much, just nodded slightly, took out her wand and pointed it at the quill in Harry's hand.

"Flavi!"

As the spell was cast, the tip of the wand flashed, and under two pairs of astonished eyes, the quill gradually changed into a head, claws, tail, and finally into the shape of a mouse.

There is no trace of a quill pen at all.

The mouse jumped out of Harry's hand, as if it had come to life, and climbed onto Ron's body in three or two steps.

The two of them stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open, especially Ron, whose mouth was so wide open that it seemed like an egg could fit in it.

I was really shocked by this move.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Hermione raised the corners of her mouth slightly and uttered two words lightly:

"Eat."

Chapter 5: Learning Potions is worse than Reading History

No, you really can?

Ron was confused. He looked at the rat running around on his body, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Harry for help.

Harry quickly took a half step back and looked away, his meaning was very clear.

Your bet has nothing to do with me, so don't get close to me.

The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.

Ron felt a sick feeling in his throat at the thought of eating the rat.

Not only does he eat living things raw, the bigger reason is that he himself likes mice very much. He even has a pet mouse named Peter, no, Banban.

Hermione didn't understand, but respected.

With a wave of his wand he undid the transformation, and the mouse instantly turned back into a quill, floating to the ground.

"Ah."

With a chuckle, Hermione left without looking back.

Ron and Harry looked at each other, and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

They knew very well that there was no record of teaching Transfiguration in the books that could be bought in Diagon Alley before entering school, which meant that Hermione learned Transfiguration immediately after just watching McGonagall use it once.

How does this not shock them?

Even for Ron, who came from a wizard family, this situation was far beyond his understanding.

what is this?

Genius?

Watching Hermione's receding back, Harry and Ron hurriedly chased after her.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind her, Hermione did not stop, but looked at the magic book in her mind.

Having already subdued the two little guys and initially established her authority in their hearts, Hermione was more concerned about the two Transfiguration spells that she had just recorded.

[Transfiguration level 1 (1/1000)]

Transfiguration: Animagus (Cat)

She had just used the former, which increased her proficiency a little.

She could feel that the level 1 transfiguration could only transform some small objects, and the duration was not very long. The increase in proficiency would make the effect better, but it could not escape this range.

I'm afraid that only when it reaches level 2 can it have other effects and achieve a qualitative change.

The latter Hermione had not yet had the opportunity to try.

The so-called Animagus is a name for wizards who can transform themselves into certain animals and retain their magic. One of the rules is that the animal they can transform into is related to the wizard's own physical shape, personality and other factors, and they cannot choose. Moreover, they can only transform into one animal in their lifetime and cannot change.

Moreover, this kind of transformation is very difficult to master, and there is considerable danger in the training process.

This can be seen from the fact that in the Harry Potter world, only seven people were registered as Animagus in the entire 20th century.

However, judging from the description in the magic book, Hermione should be able to directly turn into a cat like Professor McGonagall, because Animagus is permanent, so there is no such thing as proficiency.

But if that's the case...she can also collect other Animagus transformations?

Hermione strode forward as she thought, with two bodyguard-like followers on her left and right.

Without even a moment to mourn the blow they had suffered, the battlefield they were about to rush to was... the Potions classroom!

……

No matter which subject the classroom is, the last row corner is a battleground.

Hermione had twenty years of experience with this.

But now, this corner, which should have been the most inconspicuous, has become the focus of the freshmen.

Because Snape, dressed in a black robe, was staring at Harry's eyes beside her with a gloomy look on his face.

"Mr. Harry Potter, famous among the freshmen, tell me, what would happen if you added powdered root of narcissus to an infusion of wormwood?"

Harry felt a little uncomfortable with Snape's way of speaking and looked at Ron for help.

Ron just lay down on the table and pretended to be dead.

"I don't know, Professor," said Harry helplessly.

“Where can I find bezoars?”

"do not know……"

"So... what's the difference between Aconitum naviculatum and Aconitum damicornis?"

"……Feel sorry."

"Obviously, fame alone is not enough." Snape said sarcastically, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes, "Isn't that right, Mr. Potter?"

The sarcastic words coupled with his indifferent tone, loose black hair and huge hooked nose, always give people a feeling of bad intentions.

The classroom was silent.

Harry had a bad impression of Snape to begin with, and after being so obviously targeted, he naturally couldn't hold back his temper and retorted: "Obviously, Hermione knows the answer, but you only want to find someone who doesn't know the answer."

The little wizards all widened their eyes.

Wow, are you so tough?

He had a conflict with the professor on the first day, and the one who was the most difficult to get along with was Snape.

At the same time, they all looked at Hermione who was leaning against the stone pillar in the corner.

Hermione:? ? ?

No, are you sick?

She had already run to the corner and didn't show any sign of raising her hand, but she was still led towards her.

This was actually Hermione wronging Harry, he really thought she understood.

After all, the Transfiguration spell she performed earlier had left too deep an impression on him, and coupled with her cold and arrogant demeanor, he had gradually begun to feel that Hermione knew everything.

Hearing this, Snape subconsciously looked at Hermione.

"Since Mr. Potter said that you, a silly girl, know all this, then you answer it. If you answer incorrectly, you will be deducted from Gryffindor... What are you reading?" Snape looked at the book on Hermione's desk and frowned.

"A History of Hogwarts?"

When Snape saw the title of the book, he was stunned for two seconds, then he laughed in anger:

"Miss Granger, you are reading school history in my Potions class? Are you sure your eyes are fine and you didn't bring the wrong book? Or is my Potions class no longer a worthwhile subject for you?"

This is true.

All the potions contained in the entire potion textbook have been recorded by her into the magic book. As long as she follows the process to make the potion, with the help of the magic book, she will definitely succeed. There will be no probability problem.

Unless there were more advanced teaching materials, or Snape personally demonstrated things that were not in the teaching materials, the first-year Potions class...she really had no point in listening to it.

Not as good as history.
