Hermione wanted to stop Cassandra, but how could Cassandra just give up?
"No, such a cute and elegant cat will not bite people like Ron's mouse, I believe it."
Cassandra said casually, and then heard by Harry and Ron who pushed the door in.
Harry didn't care, Ron was already blushing with anger.
Why is Cassandra still refusing to let his mouse go?
He taunted directly: "My mouse will not bite people randomly, but you, you will definitely be bitten by this cat, you are not liked by animals at all!"
Cassandra looked at him in surprise, instead of being angry, she said with a playful smile: "I don't believe it, it will never bite me, if you don't believe me, I'll show you!"
As he spoke, he even grabbed the tabby cat's fate by the nape of its neck, intending to lift it up and hold it in his arms.
Ron, thank you for your assist!
At this moment, Cassandra felt that Ron was pleasing to the eye about one ten thousandth.
Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall couldn't take it anymore.
She can't really be fucked by a student.
Directly in front of everyone, turned back into a human, then scanned everyone with majestic eyes, and finally said to Ron: "Mr. Weasley, I don't have the habit of biting people."
Ron faltered, unable to utter another word.
"And you, Miss Malfoy. It's not a good habit to touch animals rashly. It seems that the injury of your finger hasn't given you a long memory."
Mag did not favor Cassandra, and even taught Cassandra a lesson.
Cassandra smiled apologetically, and then sighed: "Professor McGonagall, your magic is really amazing. I hope I can have the same skills as you in the future."
Mag took a deep look at Cassandra and seemed to understand something.
"Thank you for your evaluation, Miss Malfoy. I think the Sorting Hat may have made a mistake yesterday, and Gryffindor may be more suitable for you."
Hermione and Harry nodded quickly, and Draco immediately shook his head.
"Since you have come to the classroom, go back to your seats and take some time to read your textbooks. Transfiguration is a dangerous and profound magic."
After a while, it's time for class.
Professor McGonagall first showed everyone the advanced transfiguration skills, such as turning the desk into a living pig.
Then he warned everyone: "Anyone who wants to be naughty in my class, I will ask him out, and he will never be allowed to come in again. I have warned you."
After that, a lot of theories were explained, and finally everyone started their practical exercises.
Turn a match into a needle.
The little wizards enthusiastically waved their wands at the matches and chanted spells. As a result, an hour passed, but no one succeeded, including Hermione.
The same goes for Cassandra.
This made Cassandra a little discouraged. Sure enough, she was not a talented person.
Now her Transformation Curse has not reached level 1, otherwise the system would have reminded Cassandra long ago.
So Cassandra simply stopped waving her wand and thought about the problem.
Is all this just a matter of talent?
"Miss Malfoy, it's not a good thing to get discouraged so quickly."
Professor McGonagall noticed Cassandra's strangeness, and came up to remind her to comfort her: "As long as you work hard, everyone will learn this level of transfiguration."
Cassandra nodded, and suddenly asked a question: "Since everyone can learn it, where is the talent gap between wizards in Transfiguration? Is it the speed of learning the spell, or the understanding of Transfiguration?" ?”
Professor McGonagall was taken aback, realizing that she had misunderstood Cassandra.
Cassandra didn't give up, but was thinking about more advanced magic principles.
"Both, but for this level of metamorphosis, it's more about understanding."
"Compared to other spells, Transfiguration is more precise and complicated, and requires the wizard to be more focused and determined. This is obviously not an easy task."
"Practice more?"
"Can you learn it with more practice?"
Professor McGonagall said affirmatively: "Based on my teaching experience for so many years, this is the case."
Professor McGonagall certainly wouldn't lie.
But in this way, the two passages that Professor McGonagall said conflicted.
While saying that Transfiguration is precise and complex and requires concentration and determination, the other is saying that it can be learned through repeated practice.
Does repeated practice make the wizard's control more precise, or make the wizard more focused and determined?
At this moment, the matches in front of Hermione suddenly changed.
The ends of the match turned metallic and the shape became sharper.
"Very well, Miss Granger, five points from Gryffindor."
Hermione smiled triumphantly, and Cassandra quickly pulled her and asked, "How did you do it?"
Naturally, Hermione also heard the conversation between Cassandra and Professor McGonagall just now, so she whispered excitedly: "Be firm! You just have to believe that a match can be turned into a needle, or simply believe that the thing in front of you is a needle."
"Then it's the correct and focused spellcasting."
"Very good understanding, Gryffindor will add two more points."
Professor McGonagall smiled and watched the two children communicate and learn. She admitted that she had misunderstood Cassandra a little.
Maybe Cassandra is not as talented as Hermione, but she works just as hard.
"Are you firm..."
Cassandra pondered for a while, then picked up her wand and pointed it at the match in front of her.
She felt as if she understood something.
053 The third more unique understanding
In his previous life, he was a fan of the Harry Potter series.
Cassandra has also seen some readers spontaneously researching the relevant settings in the novel.
Among them, Cassandra has seen a sentence, that is, the magic in the Harry Potter world is ideal.
Is magic divided into idealism or materialism?
The answer is yes.
Take a very simple example.
If the spell is correct, the gestures are correct, the magic power is sufficient...and all the controllable conditions are correct, and anyone who meets the conditions can use a certain magic, then this kind of magic system is biased towards materialism.
Magic exists there. It is a kind of knowledge that cannot be measured by science but exists. Anyone who meets the conditions can use it after obtaining the knowledge of magic.
But the world view of the Harry Potter world is not like that.
Even if you do all the external and visible conditions correctly, but if the internal subjective consciousness, spirit, and emotions are not right, you will also fail in many spells.
Such as Occlumency, such as God-Calling Guard, such as the Transfiguration in front of Cassandra.
Therefore, the magic under Harry Potter's world view also needs to cooperate with the wizard's subjective consciousness, spirit, and emotions.
It is difficult to quantify these things and teach them to other wizards, which has resulted in wildly different results when different wizards use the same spell.
Hermione has initially mastered the transfiguration technique and taught it to Cassandra, so Cassandra has harvested [-]% of her knowledge in her mind.
Sure enough, just as Hermione said, the key to Transfiguration is faith.
No matter what is in front of you, you must firmly believe that it can become your object, even the process of self-deception.
In this way, it is understandable that Professor McGonagall said that repeated practice can make people master Transfiguration initially.
Constant repetition itself is a process of self-paralysis and self-deception.
During this process, the more people who cling to the scientific system and have a clear mind and doubt the power of magic, the more difficult it is for them to use metamorphosis, a kind of idealistic magic.
So is there a way to give yourself psychological hints, to make objects deform in a way you believe in, instead of just paralyzing yourself by repeating exercises as Professor McGonagall said?
Cassandra closed her eyes.
With the knowledge of the nine years of compulsory education in her previous life in her mind, it was really hard for her to forget all of that for a while.
So she started trying to combine the two.
Imagining that the matchstick was getting bigger and bigger, Cassandra's consciousness came to the atomic level, and she saw the atomic composition of the matchstick, which was each carbon atom.
Although I don't remember the specific structure, Cassandra knows that the number of protons, neutrons and electrons of carbon atoms is 6, while the number of protons of iron element is 26, the number of neutrons is 30, and the number of electrons is 26.
Cassandra frowned, imagining using her magic power to push the protons, neutrons and electrons of carbon atoms to change, stacking several carbon atoms into an iron atom.
It's like stacking blocks.
The actual process is naturally impossible to be so simple, but starting from the knowledge system of the previous life, Cassandra feels that it is feasible for her to do so.
The only question is how much magic power is needed.
The magic power in the body suddenly seemed to find a vent, pouring out crazily, Cassandra raised her eyebrows.
Does Transfiguration cost so much mana?
Opening his eyes, the matchstick in front of him was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into... a metal matchstick.
"Uh……"
Cassandra was taken aback, as if she had made a mistake?
"Excellent understanding, Miss Malfoy, five points for Slytherin."
Professor McGonagall looked at Cassandra with some surprise.
Why is such a serious, studious and savvy student not assigned to Gryffindor?
Even in Ravenclaw!
"how did you do that!"
Hermione stared at Cassandra with wide eyes, obviously she was the one who taught Cassandra about magic before.
