When we came out of Forbidden Forest, the snow on the ground was thick and covered the entire grassland connected to Quidditch Pitch.
In the vast whiteness, Sean did not feel dull, but felt very peaceful.
Transfiguration office's fire melted the snow scattered on Sean's body. Tabby Cat sat on a high chair and looked at Sean with extremely gentle eyes.
Even if she perceives it in the form of Fantastic Beasts Kneazle, she can only feel a deep closeness and goodwill.
This is a little wizard who even the owl is willing to stay on his shoulder for a while.
While Sean's Salamander was running around, Tabby Cat jumped up and transformed into a tall witch.
"Mr. Green, I think it's time, come with me."
The professor in black robes left Transfiguration office first.
Sean, who was wearing the same black robe, followed behind her, and the falling snow dyed their robes the same white color.
Training on Quidditch Pitch will never be affected by the weather. Ravenclaw Quidditch Team and Gryffindor Quidditch Team are the academies with the most training recently.
Wood recently almost got into a fight with Roger over his training qualifications.
Now the whole Ravenclaw and Gryffindor smell of gunpowder is very strong.
Professor McGonagall's target didn't seem to be Quidditch Pitch, but stopped under several stone carvings on the edge of Quidditch Pitch.
In fact, stone sculptures can be seen everywhere in Hogwarts.
There are two Boar Stone Statue at the top of the gate at the entrance of the castle. There are also stone carvings such as One-Eyed Witch in the castle.
But the place that is open and has many stone carvings is undoubtedly near Quidditch Pitch.
Seeing these stone carvings, Sean probably understood what the professor was going to talk about.
"For the elements that have the exact imagery and symbolism of Fantastic Beasts, it seems that it is not difficult to perform magic on Transfiguration."
Professor McGonagall said warmly,
"But for those elements that don't seem to have magic, it seems difficult for wizards to find ways to exploit them."
Sean Listen carefully, he can understand this.
Just like his Transfiguration from "item" to "magic", he can make good use of Salamander, Fire Crab or the magic elements of the snowman to complete Transfiguration. But it is particularly difficult to make him actually Transfiguration a fireplace.
So far, he has only been able to make a small part of the fireplace run and jump.
"Magic seems to favor those elements, but those parts that magic does not favor... are particularly a test of a wizard's true strength on Transfiguration."
Professor McGonagall waved his magic wand, and the stone sculpture instantly moved.
This Knight Stone Statue waved his sword twice in the snow, and then came to Sean and saluted.
Sean curiously put his hand on the hilt of his sword. There was a cold texture on the hilt, and soon it was covered with ice and snow.
"The point is to build your Magic Circuit and you can try it, kid."
Professor McGonagall then said gently, and then looked at Sean with some expectation.
What she didn't mention was that building the wizard itself, Magic Circuit, was fraught with challenges.
Sean waved his wand, and the huge stone statue raised its arm slightly, and then... nothing more.
Sean fell into deep thought. He thought that Fantastic Beasts was indeed providing a specific form for the elements.
For example, Salamander. The wizard clearly knows how the magic flows in its body and how it should move. More importantly, the wizard is convinced that the flame can come alive in this form.
[Clear intention, firm belief, sufficient will].
One Salamander can satisfy most of these key points emphasized by Transfiguration.
So how should he make the stone sculpture move?
Until the next day when Sean practiced Transfiguration, I was thinking about this problem.
--Of course, he imagines the stone sculpture as an existing Fantastic Beasts, and what he needs to do is to build the flow of magic power for this Fantastic Beasts.
Knight Stone Statue trembled again with the wave of the wand.
Sean failed again.
It is still too difficult to build a magic circuit out of thin air.
Professor McGonagall looked at him without blinking, and even the noisy voice on Quidditch Pitch didn't bother her at all.
It's rare to see a little wizard in distress...
Building Magic Circuit by yourself is an important process, which makes the wizard believe that he can do it. Therefore, Professor McGonagall is very patiently waiting for Sean to practice.
For talented wizards, this process will last at least two to three months.
Sean practiced hard in the following days. Fortunately:
[You practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with entry-level standards, proficiency +10]
[You practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with entry-level standards, proficiency +10]
[You practiced Advanced Transfiguration once as a proficient person, and your proficiency level is +30]
Inspiration is fleeting, and System Panel can materialize it.
Sean is constantly comparing and making rapid progress.
When you get tired after practicing, Sean will shrink into a Black Cat.
The tired one is the wizard Sean, which has nothing to do with Black Cat.
In Black Cat form, Sean will focus on training his mastery of the body. Now he can get through the crack in Transfiguration office's door.
It was a gloomy and somewhat tense Tuesday.
Tomorrow, it will be Quidditch Match from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
Quidditch Pitch's training schedule is full, but Quidditch Pitch is not.
[You practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with expert standards, and your proficiency level +1000]
The stone pier moved in accordance with Sean's thoughts. Although it was only a one-meter-high stone pier, it was enough to cheer up Sean.
"Incredible progress! Boy!"
Professor McGonagall Standing in the snow, after the usual surprises, she can't help but feel proud.
At this time, Sean, who had a premonition of losing his magic power, had become Black Cat.
Then a notebook automatically fell off from his neck and floated up:
[Yes, Professor]
"Interesting invention..."
Professor McGonagall obviously didn't expect to see this scene.
Quill was writing on the floating notebook, while Black Cat, who was sitting in the snow beside him, nodded slightly.
When the writing dissipated, they floated back to Black Cat's neck and turned into a small pendant.
Professor McGonagall belatedly looked at his wrist. Was it a necklace that the child gave to him yesterday?
[It will be automatically removed at Transfiguration, and will be attached to the wizard's body afterwards]
Sean explained with great craftsmanship.
In the snow, a cat was introducing his invention, which made Professor McGonagall speechless.
The atmosphere on the edge of the pitch is breezy, but inside it's a completely different story.
"Defeat Hufflepuff, then kill Gryffindor!"
Roger stepped on a chair and punched in the Ravenclaw locker room.
"For the first time in seven years, Ravenclaw has been defeated! We will go all out to impress Professor McGonagall!"
Wood was in the locker room of Gryffindor not far away, raising his arms and shouting.
