Chapter 23 Transfiguration Lesson

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore pointed his wand at the desk in front of him.

The original shape with four distinct corners twisted and rolled in an instant, and in the blink of an eye it became a lifelike lion.

The little wizards in the classroom all exclaimed in surprise.

They were admiring how detailed the patterns on the lion statue were.

That’s it?

Xifa raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze to Dumbledore.

He noticed the smile in Dumbledore's eyes.

Could it be said?

The chest of the lion in front of him began to rise and fall.

Xifa quickly blocked his ears with his hands. The two women around him noticed Xifa's strange behavior.

They imitate Western methods by mistake.

The moment the two women blocked their ears.

It's like pressing the play switch.

The lion on the podium suddenly opened his eyes and let out a deafening roar towards the audience.

Caught off guard, the little wizards were all frightened by the roar of the lion and turned pale. Some of the little wizards even got up and hid. A commotion was caused in the classroom.

Dumbledore saw that it was almost done and quickly waved his wand.

It bared its teeth and hunted the lion that jumped in the air, turning into a small black and white badger that looked harmless to humans and animals.

The roar of the lion disappeared.

The little wizards gradually understood.

The little wizard who left his seat looked embarrassed and returned to his seat to sit down.

Just when everyone was pointing at this little badger and their eyes were shining.

Two pointed and long wings suddenly grew out of the little badger's back.

The little badger transformed into a raven, flapped its wings and flew around the classroom.

Then, the raven fell into Dumbledore's hand.

Folding its wings, it twisted and turned into a snake.

The snake circled around Dumbledore and crawled back to the ground.

They formed a group when they came to the place where the lecture table was previously placed.

After a moment of distortion, the desk appeared intact.

Dumbledore's wonderful performance impressed all the little wizards.

Everyone applauded involuntarily, and Gryffindor even shouted loudly for their old senior.

Transformation of living creatures requires too many paths.

Shape deformation of the same material, material conversion, material conversion deformation, semi-biological deformation of the same material...

In short, the difficulty of Dumbledore's display is no less than the most advanced human transformation technique, Animagus.

As long as Dumbledore's spell is not lifted, they are real creatures!

Dumbledore reached out and suppressed the applause.

Facing the little wizard’s longing eyes.

He said seriously:

"Transfiguration is the most complex and demanding of all magics. In a sense, learning it is as dangerous as learning black magic!"

"Because there is a core issue in performing transfiguration. How to change the external structure of things without affecting their essence. This is a principle adhered to by generation after generation of transfiguration masters."

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the thick curtains slowly fell, but the classroom was not completely dark.

Because the overhead chandelier also lit up with candlelight when the curtains fell.

In this dark classroom, Dumbledore turned around and tapped his wand on the blackboard behind him.

The blackboard lit up like the curtain of a multimedia projector in the previous life.

"As the first Transfiguration class, what I want to teach you first is not magic, nor is it the three principles of Transfiguration."

"I want to tell you that the most important quality in learning magic is caution! The most important attitude is humility! The most important behavior is to act within your ability!"

"Every spell cast must be controllable, and every spell must be carefully considered, otherwise your spell may have extremely horrific consequences."

As the words fell, the white 'curtain' revealed monsters with hideous faces.

Xifa's eyes widened slightly, not to mention the other little wizards.

Behind him came the sound of loud gasps and muffled screams.

Without looking back, Xifa also knew how scared they were.

"In the history of the development of Transfiguration, there are many wizards who have gone further than ordinary people on the road of Transfiguration. Our ancestors tried and summed it up again and again, regardless of their own safety, and now we have the basic principles in our Transfiguration textbooks."
"Most of those records of failure have been brushed aside, and no one cares about these losers."

"But! I don't want you to become one of the losers, so I want to tell you the history that is not recorded in the textbooks first."

"Let you know the consequences of blindly arrogant and impulsive magic!"

"Now, I will show you the failure records that I have collected. I will summarize the main reason for their failure, which is that their magic experiments were not cautious enough!"

Later, Dumbledore introduced various pictures one by one and what the wizards behind them experienced.

Sphinx, human-faced harpy, bull-headed human...

Dumbledore introduced in a calm and steady voice, and only his plain voice echoed in the entire classroom.

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully, immersed in the story of the ancestors who risked their lives for the truth of magic.

After speaking at this stage, Dumbledore did not speak to break the silence, but asked everyone to reflect and summarize.

Suddenly, a hand was raised to break the calm scene.

Dumbledore found out, but after a while.

He waved his magic wand, and sunlight filled the entire classroom again, and the dull and depressing atmosphere was swept away.

"Tom, do you have any questions?"

Tom put down his hand and stood up slowly. He greeted Dumbledore with an elegant manner and said in a respectful tone:

"Professor, what does it mean to affect the outside without affecting the essence? Why doesn't the Transfiguration mean that I let it change? It must change according to my wishes?"

Well, I also have such a confusion. Tom is a good guy, help me detect mines.

Xifa sat there, feeling happy.

Dumbledore frowned slightly when he heard this.

Has Tom revealed his ambition? Didn’t I teach him enough?

But Dumbledore cannot refuse to answer in public, not to mention that many freshmen will encounter this question.

"This is a very controversial issue. The development of transfiguration is a spiral development of continuous confirmation and denial around this point. I think that transfiguration is to use one's own heart and the love for all things in one's heart to feel them

, echo them, so that your needs are transmitted to the objects you want to transform. Use your magic to bring your ideas to their 'core'. Let them know what you want and how to do it, so as to complete it.

Transformation."

"Among them, the most advanced category of transfiguration - human transfiguration Animagus. I am currently sorting out relevant materials. I can tell you that in order to complete this complex and great magic, love must be used as the anchor.

Guard your own heart and resist the bestiality of the transformed animal when you first transform, so as to prevent yourself from becoming an irrational beast."

Dumbledore's words are just as direct as saying, Tom, you have to use love to influence them and tolerate them. You can't think about domination or oppression...

However, Dumbledore’s teachings to his ‘own son’ are destined to be misleading.

Tom sneered in his heart, do you still love me?

"Thank you, sir."

Tom's non-smiling answer also attracted many little witches to look at him secretly.

***The author has something to say***

Don’t whitewash Tom, that’s it~

It’s so hard to write about an ordinary classroom! I’ve never been to one, so how can I make up a classroom plot? How about fast forwarding to the plot!_(:3 ∠)_
