It is a little different from Charms. When reading the Transfiguration teaching materials, Tom is always a bit unclear.
It's not that I can't understand the spell. The basic Transfiguration is actually very simple. It transforms dead objects.
After chanting the spell, under the pull of the wand, the magic power will cause the original object to change, and this change is Transfiguration.
Take the first simple tutorial above as an example, turn the match Transfiguration into a silver needle.
When you are Transfiguration, the first step is to constantly clarify the appearance of the silver needle in your mind. At this time, the clearer the silver needle is in your mind, the more real you will be able to Transfiguration in the end.
This kind of magic is a kind of magic that relies heavily on imagination and determination. Once there is a lack of imagination, the will will not be strong enough.
There will be problems with the last Transfiguration.
For example, a match will turn into the shape of a needle, or it will turn into a silver match...
But the point of confusion for Tom is not here, but another angle.
If we explain it from the perspective of Muggle, the difference between matches and silver needles is not only their appearance, but also their own properties.
One is made of wood, while the other is metal.
In other words, if you want to complete this Transfiguration, you need to transform the material and change the form.
Logically speaking, these should be two different changes.
But Transfiguration can use it as an introduction to little wizards. In other words, this kind of Transfiguration is not too difficult for little wizards.
This ability that goes against Muggle science may be more in line with the mysterious nature of magic.
Now Tom also understands that Kyle has some talent in Transfiguration, and it seems to be related to the fantasy in his mind...
Tom can also directly change the matches.
But why is he confused?
Why can objects change without thinking about anything, just soak them with magic power? Can any existence in the mind appear through Transfiguration?
This thought kept running through my mind.
Constant thinking makes time pass quickly.
It wasn't until his stomach growled that he finally came to his senses and took out the bread prepared by the dean.
Owen on the opposite side had already taken out his homemade snacks - sandwiches made by House-elf.
But...Owen looked at the bread opposite, and he couldn't help but salivate at the still strong scent of bread even after it had cooled down a bit.
The sandwich that was barely edible before was now a bit unpalatable.
Tom also noticed the way Owen kept swallowing saliva.
Although he had not found out what he wanted to know before, during the interaction just now, the person opposite him was not too noisy to disrupt his thoughts, so he was still very satisfied with this classmate in the same carriage.
So, he took the initiative to pass the bread to one.
"Eat, eat. This is the bread made by my dean. It can be said to be the most delicious bread in London. I happen to be hungry. I guess it's almost done after dinner..."
Owen was a little confused by Tom's actions.
After all, he was still a child. No matter how much he pretended to be mature, he still graciously accepted the begging for mercy from his companions with whom he had some disagreements just now.
He was still a bit stern, but his hand had already taken the bread, "I'm not greedy, I just want to give you some suggestions in the future..."
"Yes, yes..." Tom was a little helpless.
But Owen's quick action of loading up the sandwiches fully proved his mood.
After taking the bread into his mouth, he really lost his mind.
This time, in order to give Tom enough nutrition without making the bread too hard, he chose to add meat sauce and some delicious vegetables to the bread.
The added ingredients also add more texture to the bread.
An unprecedented fresh feeling instantly filled my mouth.
Owen completely started eating mechanically, but he was still playing games with bread in his mind.
Tom was not surprised by the appearance of the person opposite. In his opinion, the bread made by the dean had such charm.
It's not like this for him. After all, he has become accustomed to the food cooked by the dean over the years and has developed enough antibodies for this delicious food.
However, he didn't know yet that these breads would be the last food made by the dean that he would eat in a short period of time. Although Hogwarts's food was not bad, compared to Mo Fei's craftsmanship, it was still much inferior.
Regarding this point, Kyle really has the say.
Every time he went to school, he had to go through a period of withdrawal reaction, so it's not his fault that he couldn't devote himself to studying during the first period of school, right...
Owen only came to his senses when he almost bit his hand.
Then he excitedly asked Tom, "Has your dean opened a store? I want my parents to try it out later. They honestly say that Muggle's craftsmanship is outdated and outdated. How is that possible? I think your dean's craftsmanship is much better than House-elf's craftsmanship..."
He revealed some of his family's attitude without paying attention.
And these were also captured by Tom.
(In other words, Nott family is the same. Their attitude toward Muggle is more aloof and indifferent, so they should be moderates at best...)
(At this time, the intention of publishing the book is open to question. Was it the nobleman Britain's own idea, or did the foreigner have other intentions?)
Tom's mind is running very fast.
But this did not delay him from answering Owen's question.
"The dean usually does not sell to the public now. If you have a chance in the future, you can try it in a store called 'Baking Cottage' in West End. The shop owner there is owned by sister Lina, and her craftsmanship is somewhat reliable..."
"Oh, then while I'm waiting for the vacation, let my father take me to try it. Going to Muggle's place is also a very interesting try..."
Because it was almost time to arrive at school, the two of them did not continue reading. Instead, they sat and started chatting.
Tom also took this opportunity to get a lot of news about the nobles from Owen.
Some Pure-blood nobles have always been extremely fanatical supporters of the bloodline theory, such as Gaunt family. Others have begun to gradually give up their family's original business and want to open up new fields. Some of them plan to completely stick to their family's traditions...
From Owen's mouth, Tom gradually pieced together some of the circumstances of Britain Wizarding World.
Although compared to the outside world, Britain is much more stable, but it seems that some Pure-blood wizard families are starting to get ready to do something.
And "Pure-Blood Directory" compiled by their family seems to be a signal, a signal that makes people want to do something.
So can I take advantage of this restlessness?
With his identity as Heir of Slytherin, can he unite some people and gain support from some families?
Tom began to think about the direction that would be beneficial to him.
In this atmosphere, they arrived at the train's terminal station - Hogsmeade.
