Chapter 198 The First Transfiguration Club Activity
After finishing speaking, Hagrid waved his hand and swept the two wine barrels on the table to the ground.
He grabbed a rag and gave the table a quick wipe, wiping the mixture of Butterbeer and Firewhiskey off it, and managed to find a clean roll of parchment.
Hagrid picked up a special quill, but before he started writing, he hung down the pen again, looked up embarrassedly and said:
"Harry, Hermione, this...my handwriting is probably a bit ugly."
"So... can you ghostwrite for me?"
"Let me do it!" Hermione, who was shocked by Harry's operation before, said hurriedly, so that she could have a sense of participation in this matter.
And Harry rested his chin on one hand and leaned on the table.
She was thinking of deceiving Hagrid for a map of the Forbidden Forest, but it seems that she will have to wait until next time.
At this time, Sirius on the side was even more surprised than Hermione and Hagrid.
He was also worried about this matter before, after all, even though he and James had fought wits and bravely with the sea for seven years, their relationship was still very good.
Otherwise, when he went to hunt down Peter Pettigrew, he would not have chosen to give Hagrid his beloved modified motorcycle.
Although he helped Hagrid think of many plans in his mind, the only way that worked was to ask Professor Dumbledore for help.
Harry's operation... Seriously, he really wanted to shout: "Can you still play like this?"
...
After Hermione finished writing the letter, Hagrid didn't entertain the two of them, and rushed to the owl shed with the letter in a hurry.
And with Hermione's company, Harry couldn't find a chance to go wandering in the Forbidden Forest, so he could only obediently go to lunch with Hermione, and then go to the library.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Harry and Hermione arrived outside Professor McGonagall's office from the library on time.
If Hermione hadn't come here with him, Harry would not have known that Hermione had also received an invitation from Professor McGonagall.
"What will Professor McGonagall teach us at the club?"
"Will it teach us the advanced uses of Transfiguration? Like Transfiguration? Or the Animagus?"
Along the way, Hermione seemed extremely excited and kept talking.
When the two pushed open the door of Professor McGonagall's office, the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.
There are already many students sitting in the office, but it's a pity that there are not many Gryffindors!
The only ones Harry could recognize were the Weasley twins, who were in fifth year, and Heloise Midgen, who was in fourth year.
As for the sixth and seventh graders, Halle felt like she didn't see any of them.
The two slipped into the Gryffindor camp and sat down, Harry quietly poked Fred on the back:
"Fred, are we the only ones in Gryffindor?"
"Of course," Fred replied in a low voice, "how many Gryffindors do you expect to live up to Professor McGonagall's standards?"
"To be honest, it's not bad to have two Gryffindors in one grade who meet Professor McGonagall's requirements."
"No sixth grade in our Gryffindor class has met the requirements, and there is only one Percy in the seventh grade." George also interrupted the topic,
"But Percy, heh, he's busy with some internships right now and wants to enter the Ministry of Magic as soon as he graduates, so he won't be attending either."
Immediately afterwards, Fred and George introduced wizards from other colleges to Harry and Hermione.
Generally speaking, there are slightly more Ravenclaws, and although the overall number of Hufflepuffs is larger, the people who come to participate say that they are basically the same as Gryffindor.
As for Slytherin, only one fourth-year student barely made the cut.
According to Fred, although there was another fifth grade student who also met the requirements, that student was more pure-blooded, so he was screened out by Professor McGonagall in terms of morality.
After completing the basic introduction, everyone was almost there, and those who didn't come had asked Professor McGonagall for leave in advance.
Professor McGonagall clapped his hands, cleared his throat, and stood up from behind his desk:
"Good afternoon, students, today is the first activity of Transfiguration Club this semester."
"I think everyone has discovered that we have three new recruits."
"They are Harry Potter from Gryffindor, Hermione Granger and Shirley Vincent from Ravenclaw."
"Everyone please give a round of applause!"
The students around are used to having so few newcomers.
After all, Professor McGonagall has such high requirements and has certain requirements for the quality of students, so it is normal that no one joins for a whole year.
After simply welcoming the new students, Professor McGonagall got straight to the point.
"Considering that there are new students joining, let's make a transition for the time being today."
"As usual, we get to the point by discussing the article in Transfiguration Today."
With that said, Professor McGonagall took out a magazine and looked at the three of Harry at the same time: "I remember reminding you to order this book, did you bring it?"
"Here, Professor!" Hermione replied, and Harry and Shirley shook their journals.
"That's good. I think everyone should have read the above articles in advance, but I still hope that everyone can briefly review the first paper again."
Professor McGonagall opened the journal, pointed to the title above,
"An In-Depth Discussion on the Twelfth Rule of Gump's Basic Transfiguration Law, written by Mr. Jon Hart, a seventh-grade student of Beauxbatons."
"His goal is to use this paper to compete for the Most Promising Newcomer Award judged by "Transfiguration Today" this year."
"After a brief reading, I hope everyone can think about a question: Combined with the summary of the article, why does Mr. Jon Hart think that the twelfth rule of Gamp's basic transformation law is the most important transformation law?"
After speaking, Professor McGonagall sat down at the desk again, picked up a quill pen and sketched on her "Transfiguration Today".
...
Two hours passed quickly, and the first activity of the Transfiguration Club this semester was over.
Before leaving, Professor McGonagall gave the students some thinking assignments:
"Law 12 of Gump's Basic Laws of Transfiguration emphasizes the influence of thought and emotion on transfiguration."
"If you were asked to complete this argument, from which aspect would you proceed, and what feasibility experiments would you design?"
After leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Hermione sighed:
"I thought that what was taught in class would be difficult enough, but I didn't expect that what is taught here is the real difficulty."
"Of course," interjected Fred,
"In class, Professor McGonagall only talked about how to transform in detail, and at most the sixth grade will not touch on the essential content of transformation."
"But here, Professor McGonagall taught us her core skills."
...
...
(Thanks to Nine-Tailed Yanhu for the reward!)
I couldn't think of the character name, but suddenly found out that there was an hp author using the protagonist name of another fan. Great idea, I decided to learn from him.
