Chapter 30 [Violence Is the only Ticket]

The students are already seated.

When it was time for class, the tabby cat immediately jumped off the desk, transforming into Professor McGonagall in the process.

Although the students had already heard the news, they were still a little shocked when they saw it for the first time.

Professor McGonagall looked around, looked at the surprised expressions of the students, and nodded with satisfaction. However, in order to impress her students, she obviously prepared more than just Animagus skills.

Professor McGonagall waved her magic wand, and the desk immediately turned into a wild boar and ran around the classroom.

A live wild boar ran amok, which startled the students. It was not until the wild boar ran back to the podium and transformed into a desk again that the students became quiet.

Professor McGonagall tapped on the desk, attracting the attention of the shocked students.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell of all the classes at Hogwarts. If anyone behaves mischievously in my class, I will ask him out and never come back again."

"I warned you."

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall took out a glass cover with a cup with a mouse tail inside.

"A mistake made by a second-year student twenty years ago caused this teacup to permanently grow a tail. This may be a good warning to students who do not understand the complexity and dangers of transfiguration."

Rock took a look, and he felt that there seemed to be a practical guide page on the glass, just like the Sorting Hat.

I will collect this page after class.

Mag put away the teaching aids and continued: "Now you can open your "Elementary Transfiguration Guide". The first lesson today is to learn the basic principles of transfiguration..."

The notes on transfiguration are simply the most among all subjects. Professor McGonagall also talks about theoretical knowledge in large sections. The other little wizards are all confused when they see the theoretical knowledge. Only Hermione is secretly happy. She I feel like I get along very well with this professor.

She often took the initiative to answer questions raised by Professor McGonagall, and the two sang in perfect harmony.

This reminded Professor McGonagall of the two late little wizards from her own college, and her eyes suddenly became complicated.

On the day Harry entered Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall showed off a little in front of Flitwick, but who knew that the little wizard would even be late for the Dean's class the next day. That is to say, Harry's performance in the flying lesson made McGonagall a little pleased.

But what was even more outrageous was that Professor Flitwick showed off the next day, saying that his academy had admitted two wizards who loved learning, and one of them was a super genius!

Even Professor Sprout also praised the other party.

Professor McGonagall cast curious eyes on the handsome little wizard. He was much less talkative than Hermione, and it was hard to tell what his strength was, but Professor McGonagall could see that Rock was indeed quite popular.

After finishing the theory in the first small class, Professor McGonagall began to distribute matches in the second small class and asked the students to turn the matches into needles.

There is a reason why Transfiguration can be separated from Charms. Compared with other disciplines, Transfiguration is very demanding. Only when Transfiguration is completely correct can it be considered a success.

The first attempt by the little wizards was naturally very difficult. Most of the students struggled to poke the match with their wands, but the match still didn't move.

Only Hermione, after a little experimentation, quickly turned the match into a needle.

"Two points for Ravenclaw!" Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with Hermione's performance.

She felt more and more that it was a pity that the Sorting Hat had not sorted Hermione into Gryffindor.

After seeing Hermione's success, Rock on the side also took out his wand, but was gently held down by Teacher McGonagall.

"Flitwick said you have a beautiful wandless transformation spell, can you let me see it?" Professor McGonagall lowered her voice and said next to Rock.

"Okay, Professor."

Rock put away his wand, and with a touch of his finger, the match turned into a beautiful needle.

Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow and continued, "Have you ever tried turning a dead object into a living thing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the book on the table turned into a little rabbit, running around the needle vividly.

Professor McGonagall stared at the rabbit on the table carefully. After a while, he slowly said: "It's so beautiful... It's hard to imagine that this was done without a wand..."

"Ten points for Ravenclaw!" Professor McGonagall stood up and shouted, and then approached Roark again and whispered:

"I won't give you extra points casually next time. Your level is already much higher than other little wizards. This is unfair to other ordinary little wizards."

"But as compensation, I can make an exception and let you take N.E.W.T. level courses with the seventh graders."

"If you want to learn Animagus, you can come to me at any time and I can give you some good advice."

Professor McGonagall has always liked to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and provide different resources according to students' performance. Hermione was given a time turner if she studied well, and Harry joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team if he was good at flying. With preferential treatment, it can be regarded as implementing the concept of elite education.

After all, she is a genius wizard herself, number one in O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. grades, female student president, and the best newcomer in the most promising contemporary transfiguration award during her student days.

Until the end of get out of class, except for Hermione and Rock, there were no obvious changes in the other students.

But Professor McGonagall was obviously used to it. It was better to say that this was the normal progress of the little wizard. Transfiguration requires a lot of practice.

...

At night.

The corridor, which should have been crowded with people, was obviously much quieter at this time.

The clock tower courtyard in the southern area was slightly lit at this time.

"Dueling Wand"

Rock recited the code, and the door of the clock tower in front of him slowly opened.

As the door opened, the lively atmosphere inside suddenly came.

"Oh! A first-year little wizard is here." Gemma Farley, the head girl of Slytherin, was a little surprised: "He looks so good... Well, let me guess, you are Rock, a first-year Ravenclaw? Are you here to watch the competition?"

"Yes, I am Rock."

"But to be precise, I am not going to watch the competition, but to participate in the competition." Rock responded politely.

Huh?

Gemma Farley's first reaction was that she had heard it wrong.

Wesley Sheppard from Slytherin heard this and immediately stood up and said:

"Sorry, freshman, you need a ticket to participate in the competition."

He looked at Rock, smiled and waved his hand, as if to express that he didn't want to fight with the freshman:

"Rock, right! Now sit in the audience honestly, don't let me do anything excessive to you, a freshman."

"So what is the ticket? How can I get it?" Rock asked with pretended curiosity.

Sheppard's smile gradually disappeared, and he stared at Rock carefully, as if he wanted to know if Rock was serious.

But Rock didn't say anything, just looked back at him quietly.

Finally, Sheppard's smile completely disappeared, and he immediately took out his wand from under his wizard robe and pointed it at Rock.

"Dizzy--"

But before he could recite the spell, Sheppard floated in the air.

Then he slammed to the ground! There was a "bang" sound!

Immediately attracted the attention of other people in the bell tower.

"It's violence. Violence is the only ticket, right?" Rock walked to Sheppard, who was lying on the ground, with a smile on his face.

"Slytherin...what should I call you? Tester? Or gatekeeper?"

"But magic is supreme, which is really the style of you Slytherins."

Slytherin female head Gemma Farley looked a little surprised, but she quickly reacted and immediately shouted inside:

"Add one more contestant!"

"Ravenclaw...first-year student, Rock!"
