I'm a wizard with a proof from Hogwarts
Chapter 16 The Cat on the Podium"
Sometimes when you focus on doing something, you always feel that time flies so fast.
For example, sitting in front of the computer and playing games, lying on the bed and browsing on the phone...
Sometimes when you feel tired of doing something, you always feel that time passes really slowly.
For example, going to work every day, studying...
After Red changed his pillow and left, Rudy continued to hold the spell book and began to gnaw on knowledge. As time passed, when the time came to 7 o'clock in the morning, Rudy had completed self-study of elementary spells. , and successfully released most of them.Of course, except for a few...
After all, there are a few of them, such as the "Loud Spell" and the "Fire Spell". Considering that it is easy to disturb the people and cause fires, there is no test... (Some people did not notice that they had disturbed the people, or twice.)
After completing the learning of elementary spells, Rudy found that except for the slight difference in size and color between the spells he cast and those described in the book, everything else was perfect.
Putting the spell book aside with satisfaction, he continued to open the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration". Different from the previous "Magic Theory" and "Standard Spells, Elementary", this book described how to use the spellcaster's imagination to , and the precise control of magic power to change objects into the shape and size you want.
It describes in detail and lists more than a dozen classic learning directions for beginners, as well as the operation process of casting spells.The deformed objects also range from small to large, from a button to a pocket watch, from superficial deformation to precise textures on the surface of the deformed object, etc.
Several key points are noted in detail in the book's notes:
First: When performing a transformation, it is important to wave the wand firmly and decisively.Do not wiggle or turn the wand unnecessarily or the transformation will definitely fail.Before casting a Transfiguration Spell, have a clear mental picture of what you want the subject to look like.
Second: Beginners should pronounce the mantra clearly.
Third: Incomplete deformations are difficult to correct, but you still need to keep trying to complete the deformation when it fails.
Fourth: Saying 'restore original shape' (this is the curse of transformation) will restore the transformed object or creature to its original state.
Fifth: It is difficult for large creatures to transform. Unless you are a powerful wizard with profound magic power and know your own limits, please do not try it easily! ! !
At the end of the book, it is also mentioned that transformation is an extremely advanced knowledge, and a powerful transformation master can easily and exquisitely integrate transformation into combat.What's more, you can even apply it to yourself with its unpredictable transformation technique, transforming yourself into someone else's appearance, that is - human body transformation.
Generally speaking, this book is just a beginner's book that explains the principles of transfiguration and lists a few examples. The more advanced content may require students in the fourth, fifth, or even higher grades to learn.
But... Fred seems to have said that there is a restricted book section in the Hogwarts library, which contains rare and unique books and super powerful magic books. It seems that if you have the opportunity, you need to find a way to enter it. OK.
After reading the transformation guide, Rudy found a sock at random, placed it on his bed and began to experiment with the transformation technique he had just learned.
Following the guidance in the book, Rudy raised his wand and began to wave it in the air, while chanting the spell: "Become a hamster!" (The transformation spell is Transfiguration, but there is no translation. After translation, it is meaning of deformation)
Just like the previous casts, Rudy could clearly feel that he had lost a tiny bit of magic power, and then the red spherical crystal of the wand did emit a red light.
However, the socks lying quietly on the bed did not show any changes. They sat quietly as they were for a few minutes. Rudy recalled that the book said that he must persist in completing the transformation... so he waved his wand and read a few more words. spell.
However, there was still no response from the socks on the bed. The puzzled Rudy picked up the book and learned the cane swinging posture again. He read and chanted the mantra and swung the cane.
But what he doesn't know is...
In a dormitory next door, Harry and the four of them, who had just slept for a short while, suffered another disaster...
At first it was a sock on Ron's foot, but suddenly it turned into a fluffy hamster, and then the other one also changed. As the number increased, Ron sat up sleepily, rubbed his eyes and said angrily. : "Banban, how many times have I told you, when I'm sleeping!....Don't...have to...climb...Wow!!!! Help!!"
When he saw the hamster on the bed above him looking up at him, Ron, who was numb, screamed excitedly on the spot, causing Harry and the three people in the next bed to wake up, and then they discovered that they were pregnant. The cups and pillows inside have turned into nests of hamsters....
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--x4"
Rudy in the room compared the illustrations in the book for a long time, scratching his head with a puzzled look on his face, why?No reason! ?
Reluctantly choosing to give up the deformation surgery, Rudy looked at the time and saw that it was already 8 o'clock. It was less than an hour before breakfast time at 9 o'clock. After thinking about it, he decided to get up, pack up, and go out for a run to exercise. A body like a chicken.
As soon as he changed his clothes and walked out the door, within two steps, Rudy heard the screams coming from the next door one after another, and the waves were louder than the waves.
Curious, he knocked on the door and saw no one answered it, so he opened the door and stuck his head in to take a look, and then...
Good guy, it turns out that it wasn't that my transformation technique failed, but that due to some unknown reason, the distance was wrong and it changed to another place?
Seeing that the four Harrys were frantically catching hamsters and had no time to take care of themselves, Rudy quickly closed the door quietly and turned around to run away.
Damn it, running away after doing bad things is really a waste!
After running back and forth for more than a dozen times around the corridor outside the Gryffindor dormitory, Rudy put his hands on his knees and panted heavily while glancing at the time on his watch.I don't know why, but after running for more than ten laps, he didn't feel very tired at all, except that he was breathing a little heavily and his heartbeat was a little violent.
But seeing that there was less than half an hour left, Rudy jogged all the way back to the dormitory, took a shower and changed into a robe.Since it was unclear whether sportswear could be worn in Hogwarts, he ran in his robes.There were still a lot of people in Gryffindor who got up after 8 o'clock in the morning. When they saw a new student running around the corridor, they basically gave him the same look.
What aroused this child?There won't be anything wrong with it.
At 8:40, Rudy, who was jogging all the way to the auditorium, saw the long table filled with various breakfasts. He quickly found an empty seat and sat down. He grabbed a few pieces of bread here and forked two pieces of ham with a fork there. And bacon, I stuffed it into my mouth so hard that I almost choked.
Feeling that his throat was too tight to swallow what was in his mouth, Rudy chewed desperately to relieve the pressure on his cheeks.
At this time, he felt a soft little hand patting his back a few times, and then a hand stretched out in front of him, holding a glass of milk.
Rudy didn't even look at who it was. He grabbed it and drank it in two big gulps.
After the inventory that had been accumulated in the river mouth was cleared, Rudy had time to look in the direction where he had just handed the milk and thanked him: "Thank you, I almost choked and died. ..!!”
What caught his eye was a familiar and cute face, with long and messy hair hanging casually, giving him a plush look.
Rudy tried to run away in fear, but Hermione grabbed the collar of his robe and pulled him back.
I don't know why, but since learning Taekwondo, Hermione's character has become much tougher.He grabbed Rudy's neck and tucked his head under his arm. With a smile on his cute little face, he leaned close to Rudy's face and asked softly: "Why do you run away when you see me~?" As he said, he also He held his left hand in front of Rudy, with an egg in his palm.
Then, in front of Rudy, she grabbed the egg and gave it a strong click. The eggshell split into pieces with a "click".
Rudy suddenly felt that he should be covered in cold sweat now, but seeing what happened to the egg, Rudy quickly smiled and explained: "That...that, right! The first class is about to start, right! The first class is about to begin, right! A class is about to start! Do you remember!?”
Hermione obviously didn't believe it and continued to ask: "Really? Then what did you mean last night?"
Rudy's little face wrinkled into a bitter melon on the spot. After brainstorming for a long time, he immediately said: "Because you are so cute, I couldn't help but look at it twice. There is no other meaning! Really, do you believe it?" me!"
"Really?" Hermione relaxed her arms slightly in disbelief. In fact, she was also wondering why she always wanted to touch Rudy every time she saw him.
After all, Hermione was just a young girl who had just started to fall in love, and sometimes she didn't even know how she felt about Rudy.
Maybe there is the worship of idols, and there is also curiosity about handsome people of the opposite sex?Or maybe it was because Rudy always made her angry when he saw her?
At first, I just thought he was handsome and looked like the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, so I regarded him as my idol.Later, I met him on the train, which was not a pleasant experience, and I even beat him up... I thought I would hate him.But during the sorting ceremony, he very much hoped that he would be sorted into Gryffindor.
Especially after the Sorting Hat really shouted Gryffindor at the end, I couldn't contain my excitement and joy.
However, he showed many complicated expressions after seeing himself, especially when it stayed on his chest!It’s really infuriating, really!If she hadn't been unable to use it at that time, she could guarantee that she would have been thrown over her shoulder!
After thinking about it, Hermione decided to let him go first. After all, class was about to begin, and she didn't want to be late for the first class.
So Hermione, who released her right hand, picked up the textbook on her left hand, patted Rudy on the shoulder and stood up, saying, "Let's go then, classmate Rudy."
Rudy quickly stood up and nodded repeatedly: "Coming, coming."
A few minutes later, the Transfiguration Classroom.
"Can you not sit down? QAQ..." Rudy was grabbed by Hermione with a desperate look on his face, and pushed him to sit in the first row on the far left, while she was preparing to sit outside.
Clenching her fists, it was unimaginable that her small, white hands could actually make a "pop, pop, pop" sound. Hermione asked innocently, "Are you sure you don't want to sit with me?"
An inexplicable chill hit her from behind. Rudy immediately sat upright and helped her pull out the seat and straighten it like a gentleman: "How is that possible! This is my honor. Please sit down, Miss."
After putting down the textbooks and looking at the classroom where there were not many people there, the two people who had obviously arrived early began to observe the classroom curiously.It is similar to an ordinary classroom, with a podium and blackboard above, and the desks under the podium are divided into three rows, each row can seat two people.
In addition to these, if we want to talk about the difference between magic classes and classrooms in the ordinary world, emmmm, does it count if there is a cat standing on the podium?
It wasn't until he looked around the classroom for a week that Rudy discovered a crouching cat on the podium.Rudy nudged Hermione, who was also observing the classroom, with his elbow, and then whispered: "Look, that cat on the podium."
Hermione heard the sound and looked at it, and immediately said happily: "Wow, it's so cute. In fact, when I go to Diagon Alley, I want to buy a cat as a pet."
"But you know, my dad is allergic to cats, so I can only..." She shrugged helplessly.
Rudy lowered his head slightly, held his chin as if possessed by a certain Ke, and analyzed to himself: "This is a tabby cat. Judging from its size and coat color, it is already an adult cat, but... ."
"But what?" Hermione asked, turning her head to listen to Rudy's analysis.
Rudy: "I'm just wondering why it feels like it's looking at us like people are looking at us."
As he spoke, Rudy was startled and looked at Hermione beside him with wide eyes.But he found that just like him, she also stared as if she had discovered a big secret.
So the two lowered their heads, gathered together and whispered: "Animagus!"
After hearing the same answer, Hermione looked surprised: "You actually read the entire book?"
"You're the one..." Rudy was equally surprised. Although the Transformation Guide is not a thick book, there shouldn't be many freshmen who would read it all before class.
Not long after the two of them finished chatting, the door to the classroom opened, and groups of students began to enter the classroom one after another, and soon most of the classroom was filled.
After a while, Rudy looked at his watch in confusion. It was obviously past the class time, but the professor still hadn't... Well, the professor should have arrived, but why wasn't he in class yet?
With a sound of "Pa!", the classroom door was pushed open, and four panicked little wizards rushed into the classroom.After they each found a seat and sat down in twos, one of the red-haired ones said proudly: "Thankfully the professor hasn't arrived yet, she is actually slower than us~"
"Harry, what do you think Professor McGonagall would look like if she found out we were late?"
"Oh! Look at you, you're actually late! ~Haha~ha...ha..." (Ron imitated Professor McGonagall's angry look and laughed)
Well, Ron must be the one seeking death like this.Harry, who was out of breath next to him, finally recovered. The next second, the cat on the podium suddenly jumped down from the podium.
In front of them, he transformed into Professor McGonagall with glasses and a livid face.
Good guy, Rudy saw with his own eyes that Ron, who was laughing constantly, was so frightened that he turned into a pale face on the spot, while Harry on the side almost couldn't catch his breath and turned red in the face.
For example, sitting in front of the computer and playing games, lying on the bed and browsing on the phone...
Sometimes when you feel tired of doing something, you always feel that time passes really slowly.
For example, going to work every day, studying...
