Harry Potter: Glory of the King

Chapter 54: Transfiguration

"About this, I'm going to talk about it right away," McGonagall said. "According to Gamp's Law of Transformation, wizards can deform objects or make something, but there are five exceptions. First, it is impossible to make delicious dishes out of thin air. You can summon the food you know, and if you have food, you can Transform it and increase it. If you have a cake, you can turn it into a big cake or two or three cakes. These cakes can be eaten because the original object itself can be eaten."

"The reason is very simple. Although you have changed the shape of the object through the Transfiguration Curse, its essence is still the substance that constitutes the original object. The pig just now, if you kill it, all you get is wood." Professor McGonagall explained. "This is why food cannot be deformed-some people use this method to hunt huge creatures-such as dragons, giants, etc., for example, you swallow this pig for them, but they are equivalent to swallowing this Lecture table."

"The other four that cannot be transformed are: magical plants, magical animals, magic props, and complete independent souls." McGonagall finished in a breath. "A magical plant refers to a plant with magical properties. It can be naturally bred and cultivated artificially, but it cannot be manufactured through deformation. Even if it becomes its appearance, it cannot have the same magical effect. And even if you have a magical plant, There is no way to make it bigger or more."

"The same is true for magical animals. Magic items can usually be made larger by the rune magic pattern that is pre-set with a reduction or enlargement spell. Finally," Professor McGonagall saw all the students struggling to write, and he paused with satisfaction so that Everyone focused their attention on themselves. "A complete and independent soul. A living body that has been transformed from a non-living body, such as the pig, does not actually have independent thinking, nor does it require eating or other physical behavior. Such animals can only act according to the instructions given by the caster. One is to transform a living body into another kind of living body, which has its own independent thinking ability, but it can only act according to the original behavior pattern."

"If you turn a bird into a fish, it still wants to fly, but it cannot fly, and it will suffocate due to lack of oxygen. However, when life is threatened, the transformation technique will be automatically released-this is the characteristic of the living body itself, unless The caster continues to cast spells or uses permanent deformation-but generally requires a lot of magic power, and the cost is very high. By the way, there is one more thing, the time effect of converting a living body into a non-living body is not long, and the reason is the same as above. "Professor McGonagall's words became more serious, "It is difficult for ordinary wizards to perform complete transformation on wizards or humans. It is difficult for humans to transform. On the one hand, humans are more intelligent, and even if they become animals, they can react quickly. Come, on the other hand, it is less difficult to complete transformation of others than to complete transformation of yourself. Generally speaking, there is only one kind of animal transformed by a wizard, and we have a special name for wizards who are proficient in this type of transformation-Ani Margus. The most dangerous thing about Animagus is that after becoming an animal, the caster is himself, and he may lose himself and be unable to return to human form—even until death."

"Well, the casting spells of Transfiguration are also different according to your casting needs. You have already taken the spell class. Mastering the spell casting is one of the prerequisites for the casting of Transfiguration." Neville's face instantly changed. It's white.

Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and a match appeared out of thin air in front of everyone: "By the way, this is not transfiguration." Professor McGonagall looked at everyone staring at the match and began to explain, "Generally speaking, it must be right. Objects that have been deformed by other wizards need to be deformed again, and they need to exert more magic power than the other party—or even several times more. Now it is a classroom exercise, and deforming with the original object is more suitable for you."

Professor McGonagall used a floating technique to make a match float in the air. "Acri!" The match gradually turned into a needle.

"The greater the magic power applied, the faster the deformation speed. The closer the shape and size of the object and the deformed object are, the easier the deformation. Next, try it yourself!"

"Acri!" With a wave of Ona's wand, the transformation was completed in an instant.

Professor McGonagall held the glasses in disbelief so as not to fall off. She couldn't help but walked over, picked up the needle and looked at it. "Very good!" Professor McGonagall smiled, "Ona Kraff? You? Very talented! Gryffindor adds 1 point!"

Hermione gritted her teeth, but no matter how hard she tried, she even practiced in advance—Percy told her to practice in this way at the school dinner, but after all, the time was too short—now she just turned the match into metal, a little bit fine.

"Ona, you can show it to your classmates." Professor McGonagall asked Ona to stand at the desk, and McGonagall conjured another match. "Slower casting speed, let everyone see clearly."

"Okay, Professor." Ona held the wand and whispered to the match: "Acri!"

Everyone saw that the match slowly changed from a wooden stick to metal along one end, and it became thinner and thinner, and the head of the match completely turned into a sharp needle.

"Perfect!" Professor McGonagall nodded, "Ona, can you tell everyone how to do it?"

Ona smiled: "Everyone needs to transform the material first, and finally deform the shape. Hermione is a little anxious, otherwise it's almost finished."

Hermione flushed. "Acri!" This time, she did.

"Pretty!" Professor McGonagall looked at the two people with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "It seems that Gryffindor has produced a few good seedlings this time."

Glory basically completed the transformation before get out of class, and Ravenclaw's side was as good as before Hermione.

"Well, about the understanding of Transfiguration, 8 inches. get out of class is over."

Today Ron didn't mention it back to the common room, and a group of five people went directly to the library. After all, four classes were connected and there was no time to finish eating at noon. Before dinner, Ona and Hermione basically completed today's homework, and Ona still drew pictures of the herbal medicine homework.

"You are showing off, do you know?" Hermione bit her lip. "Why don't you draw me... with Glory?"

"At night." Ona didn't mind.

Hermione was overjoyed and happily counseled Glory to go.

"Harry, there is still something wrong here." Ona read Harry's homework on the history of magic, good guy, basically copy the textbook. Looking at Ron again, it is even more outrageous—because he is sleeping most of the time, he is based on the description of the story he has heard, which has a greater deviation from the textbook. Ona had to ask Ron to read the textbook before writing, and Harry only wrote a simple sentence after the description. "Think more about why the wizards finally won so badly because of the excessive internal friction in the early stage. What is the inspiration for us now-I believe that the assignment of homework by the professor is considered by the school."

After dinner, Hermione coached Glory to continue his homework. Harry and Ron wanted to find Ona, but Hermione glared at him: "Write it yourself first!"

Harry and Ron were bitter-the history of magic homework was basically rewritten by Ona, and they wanted to simply let Ona talk about what they were writing-Ona's homework was put away by Hermione.

Ona had nothing to do and had to help Hermione and Glory to paint portraits. In fact, Hermione knew about drawing, but she hadn't paid much attention to Ona's paintings before, and now she found out that they were pretty good.

Mainly the five indeterminates. I thought about it for a long time, otherwise it was too late to complete it last night. Wake up in the middle of the night code word, by the way, take a look at the Champions League
