October is about to end in a violent storm, November is about to come, Hogwarts Castle is as cold as frozen iron, there is a layer of hard frost every morning, and the icy wind cuts hands and cheeks.
The sky and Great Hall's ceiling turned into a light blue-grey, Hogwarts the surrounding mountains put on snow caps, the temperature in the castle dropped so much, many students were wearing thick fire Dragonhide Gloves when taking a break in the corridor between classes.
Sean stood outside the corridor, his breath turning into white mist, and he knocked lightly on the door.
"Mr. Green, I told you many times, no need to knock, just come in, kid."
A gentle voice came from behind the door.
Sean opened the door. Although the professor said it many times, he was not prepared to change it.
Personal space is sensitive and inviolable. Just because the professor gave him the key doesn't mean he can always open the door.
In the room, the fireplace always burns cheerfully.
The professor is always very busy during these days. She is sitting on a tall chair, constantly correcting homework or dealing with the mistakes made by the little wizards.
It was as if she was preparing to do something.
"As for the transformation of 'self' into 'living creature', Mr. Green, that requires more caution.
So what we are going to learn today is - the transformation of items into 'magic'. "
Professor McGonagall stopped grading her homework and waved her wand. In just a moment, the flames in the fireplace burned all the way, and the flames almost licked Sean's cheeks.
The professor waved his wand again, and the flame took the shape of a lizard and ran all the way back to the fireplace.
"This kind of Advanced Transfiguration requires a stronger will and a higher level of magic. The important thing is that when you infuse magic into the objects you choose... you have to believe that they are inherently magical."
What Professor McGonagall said had already been recorded in the notes she gave to Sean, but now that she said it, Sean's understanding was further deepened.
"Today, what you have to learn is to inject this 'magic' into the flames in the fireplace."
Professor McGonagall's eyebrows are softer.
After all, it only took the student in front of me three weeks to memorize the two notebooks she gave her and read the three Transfiguration textbooks.
She had never seen Green empty-handed in the corridor.
It would be great for a sixth-grade wizard to read one book in three weeks.
Sean approached the fireplace with some curiosity. At this time, the flames suddenly became fierce, causing Sean to shrink back quickly.
He held a notebook in his hand, and the writing on it was slightly yellowed by the fireplace:
[Concrete and clear intentions, firm beliefs, and sufficient will]——
This is what Professor McGonagall notes, and it is also the true meaning of Transfiguration.
Sean waved the magic wand. In fact, Transfiguration who had reached the [Expert] level no longer needed to recite the incantation.
This level corresponds to an adult wizard. Of course, some senior wizards may also reach this level, but those are very few.
The flames jumped more obviously when Sean waved his wand. Sean tried to imagine them as dancing shapes and followed the instructions in the professor's notes to draw out the flames.
This step is done easily.
[You practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with the standard of Apprentice, and your proficiency is +30]
[You practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with the standard of Apprentice, and your proficiency is +30]
After a while, Sean could make the flames dance with his wand. Although there was only a small flame, Professor McGonagall was very happy.
"Very good, Mr. Green, next, you have to try to control more flames..."
Professor McGonagall said happily.
Coming out of Transfiguration office, Sean knew that he had already half-stepped into the door of Advanced Transfiguration.
Although it is far from the professor's ability to conjure Salamander, it can be considered a good start anyway.
After all, according to what Professor McGonagall said:
"The vast majority of wizards cannot make the flames react at all when they try this Transfiguration for the first time. They have to practice non-stop for at least more than a month before they can do this..."
Sean guesses that this is related to the talent brought by Title:
[Title: Transfiguration Master]
[Significantly improve the unique perception of Transfiguration field from non-magic to magic]
This kind of perception always helps Sean find the trick to make the flame "obedient".
After Sean left, Transfiguration's classroom was still full of fire.
The professor waved his wand, and the drawer turned into a Pigwidgeon, which elegantly handed an envelope to Professor McGonagall with a thick piece of letter paper inside.
Seeing these letters, the professor's eyebrows softened.
in the corridor.
Sean Wearing a pair of thick gloves, he pushed the scarf up a little, and this time he could see the notes in his hand clearly.
——Pure black cover, with warnings written all over the first page——This is Professor Flitwick's notes about Dark Arts.
Dark Arts Although it is easy to make Headmaster Dumbledore... uneasy.
But it does not mean that Sean will completely give up studying Dark Arts, Professor Flitwick said:
"Dark Arts is like a blade. People with malicious intentions can use it in dirty ways, but after all, it is closely related to the purpose of the user."
One of the reasons for this is that Dark Arts progresses very quickly - after all, there are never too many things at the bottom of the box, and the more spells a wizard learns, the stronger he becomes;
Another reason is that Professor Flitwick is responsible for teaching Sean Dark Arts:
"Excellent! Oh - what an amazing talent..."
Charms In the classroom, Professor Flitwick is walking around.
While muttering to himself, "Oh, it's up to me", "I have to keep an eye on this kid", "Fortunately it's Little Green"... he used his wand to restore the books that Sean had knocked away.
Since this period of time, every practice of Sean has basically been carried out under the nose of Professor Flitwick, with the professor as the control.
[You practiced Repelling Charm once according to expert standards, and your proficiency is +50]
[You practiced Repelling Charm once according to the standard of a master, and your proficiency is +300]
"Professor, goodbye."
As the sun set, Sean left the Charms classroom. In the corridor, he silently opened System Panel:
[You are a rare genius in the history of Dark Arts. Dark Arts will take the initiative to embrace you. You are born King of Dark Arts]
Sean quickly skipped this nonsense.
[Repelling Charm: Expert level (10/30000)]
The expert-level Repelling Charm is instant and silent.
Paired with Levitation Charm, which has various methods of use, Sean's actual combat level even surprised Professor Flitwick - if you look down on him, he is likely to give even an adult wizard a big fight.
"Filius, disturbing talent, right?"
An old voice sounded in the classroom.
"But a soothing wizard."
Professor Flitwick's beard stood up when he mentioned this.
The old wizard beside him did not deny it, but nodded slightly.
