Chapter 208: Galleons are not just for Slytherin (page 13)
"Yes, that's right."
It's just that he took an advanced class in advance. There was no need for Bourne to hide it.
"I received an invitation from the professor last year, but mainly because I am a natural Magus shapeshifter. The dean felt that I must be properly guided. Otherwise, it may be dangerous when I transform."
"Okay, small talk can wait until after the club activities are over," the Slytherin prefect interrupted the conversation between Bourne and Hermione.
Although the name sounds funny, this fanai's personality is actually quite old-fashioned.
"Professor McGonagall must have been waiting for a while. We need to speed up and pass the test," he expressed his meaning concisely.
And it's quite correct.
Bourne ended the conversation calmly, then picked up the parchment invitation and put it in front of his eyes.
After walking into the foyer, the address information above automatically changed into a new piece of content. This is also one of the many advanced techniques of transfiguration.
Hermione then realized that the address information cracked yesterday evening (in fact, she was very proud of it), actually contained more hidden content that had not been discovered.
The little witch couldn't help but blush.
She quickly lowered her head and focused her eyes on the parchment to hide her slightly hot face.
"The key to solving the problem is to consider several exceptions to Gamp's law of deformation," Byrne looked at the text prompt and immediately came to his own conclusion.
It turns out that Professor McGonagall gave the test to let these little wizards use the things already in the hall to complete a transformation and cast a spell.
She wanted them to conjure some very valuable items, and the higher the value, the better, with no upper limit.
The reason why Byrne thought of several exceptions to Gamp's law of deformation is because the qualifier "high value" makes people think of gold.
According to the exceptions to Gamp's law of transformation, gold cannot be transformed directly using transfiguration (but it can be transformed with the assistance of alchemy, but this is completely uneconomical, because it is only the cost of materials required to use alchemy) , definitely more expensive than gold produced).
"What do you think?" Bourne asked.
This time it was the turn of the Ravenclaw senior Crevat to answer him, because the latest development that the small circle had just discussed was what she had thought of.
"Percy thought we could use Transfiguration to conjure up badges and trophies - like the ones Professor Lockhart liked to wear - the Order of Merlin, the Prefect's Badge, the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup, he thought. 'value' can pass the test.
However, Houchi feels that these things cannot be recognized because they are worthless without actual deeds to back them up.
Therefore, he wanted to transform some fake galleons or other types of gems and gold coins, but they must be exquisite enough and able to maintain the transformation effect for a period of time. After all, the transformation spell cannot directly produce gold, and can only rely on the first two points to reflect its value.
My thoughts are different from theirs.
You know, 'value' is actually a subjective judgment, and because Professor McGonagall gave us all a common test, it's probably impossible that she didn't think of this aspect, so I think the key to passing the test may be at the end. On the measurement mechanism..."
Crevat talked eloquently, and as she made her thoughts known to the public, other people around her (small circle) also began to think about the views she raised, and it didn't take long for almost everyone to agree.
Hermione was simply stunned.
In the past, during class, except for Bourne's occasional outstanding performance, she was almost the best student in the class.
Most students in Gryffindor House (and even several other houses) admit that she is the most talented little witch in their year.
And on the first day she joined the Transfiguration Club, she discovered how ridiculous the complacency she had been in the past was. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. It turns out that there are so many amazing and talented seniors and seniors hidden in the other grades of the four houses of Hogwarts.
Percy was better at taking care of others. He might have noticed the hint of disappointment in the elementary school girl's eyes. Just like he cheered up Bourne during the first club event last year, he immediately cheered up Hermione.
"How's it going? Club activities are fun." He said, "You should be the second little wizard to be invited to participate in the activities in the second grade. The last one to receive this honor was my eldest brother Bill. He was a A true genius.
His OWLs and NEWT scores set records for the highest scores in the history of Hogwarts in each subject.
Judging from the current situation, I think the young Hogwarts wizard who is most likely to challenge and refresh Bill's record in the near future may be Granger. "
Hermione blushed again at the praise. Today, the little witch's mood was like riding a roller coaster. She fell down with a "swish" and then went up with a "swish". The main focus was excitement.
Not only Percy, but also Clearwater patted Hermione on the shoulder, and even Fanet, the head boy of Slytherin House, nodded in affirmation and encouragement to the little Gryffindor girl.
Of course, the atmosphere was good. After all, they were trying to find a way to pass Professor McGonagall's test.
Therefore, after taking care of the newcomer Hermione's mentality, these senior students immediately turned their attention to Bourne. Because through the previous year of joint activities, Byrne has won the trust and respect of many of them.
Byrne had already begun to take action at this time. He began to walk around and look around in this door room, carefully searching every corner of the wall.
"What are you looking for?" Crevat asked curiously: "Are you looking for something to use as a material for transformation?"
Others also focused their attention on Bourne.
So, while searching, he replied: "As you said, the concept of 'value' has a lot of subjective elements. Then I think Professor McGonagall will prepare a sufficiently objective criterion for us. For example, as expected... …”
While talking, he happened to open a biscuit box, and found a familiar little friend in the box - the little Khan lying in the box, sleeping soundly.
As we all know, Little Khan is a hybrid Niffler, who inherited some of the instincts of this magical animal, the Niffler.
If someone had just conjured a gold coin (or similar item), then it is estimated that the little guy's sixth sense would be triggered immediately, causing him to instinctively wake up from his sleep and start hunting for treasure.
However, Bourne now directly fished the little Khan out of the biscuit box and placed it in front of everyone.
"I guess it is the referee of the test." Although he said it was a guess, Bourne's tone was extremely certain. "Then what are we waiting for?"
Once they found the key to solving the problem, the little wizards no longer had to think hard, rolled up their sleeves and started changing.
Hermione turned a pot of grapes in the room into the nuts that Little Khan liked to eat (as the star pet in Hogwarts Castle, Little Khan's eating habits have been known to many people); Fanai followed the rules. The parchment inside turned into the shape of a golden galleons, but the exquisite pattern on it was changed to look like a little khan; Percy was not to be outdone, and waved his wand to create a large, golden medal, with the following words engraved on it. A line of words "Hogwarts Pet Star Medal"...
