After entering third grade, the Transfiguration textbook was changed from "Elementary" to "Intermediate".
"Intermediate Transfiguration Guide" is no longer limited to the deformation of objects, but the more difficult deformation of living creatures.
For example, turning a beetle into a pipe, or turning a textbook into a tabby cat.
"What is more difficult than the transformation of living creatures is the transformation of the human body." Mag glanced at the clock on the wall.
The main content is pretty much the same, but you can mention a little bit about the sixth and seventh grade courses.
"The most profound technique in human body transformation is the extremely difficult Animagus."
After she finished speaking, in front of the whole class, she transformed into a tabby cat with square lines around its eyes.
But the students didn't react much. They were obviously struggling with Trelawney's seven prophecies.
With a "pop" sound, Mag changed himself back to his original shape.
"I said, what happened to you today?"
She seemed a little disappointed, "This is the first time that my transformation has not won everyone's applause. It seems that I will have to work hard in the future."
The students were amused.
Vincent, who smiled the most exaggeratedly, raised his hand, "Professor, we just finished the divination class, and Trelawney taught her——"
"Ah, I understand." Mag pursed his lips, "Mr. Wayne, who among you will die this year?"
The students looked at Vincent and Harry.
It's okay to go through countless journeys full of trials and pains, but what's terrible is the omen of death.
"I understand." Mag stopped pouting.
"Since Sybill Trelawney came to the school, she has predicted the death of a student every year.
But so far, none of them have died.
She likes to greet a new class with unknown, unfortunate, etc. ways. If I hadn't never said bad things about my colleagues -" Mag suddenly closed her mouth.
She quickly calmed down, "Divination is the least rigorous branch of magic.
To tell you the truth, I actually don’t have much patience for it.
There are very few true prophets, and Professor Trelawney..." McGonagall paused again.
She glanced at Vincent, "Everyone should still remember the arena match the year before last, right?
Professor Trelawney predicted that Mr. Wayne would lose miserably, but the reality was that Mr. Flint lost humiliatingly."
The students were amused by her again.
It literally discredits my face.
"To be honest, I prefer to believe that something good will happen to you two."
Amid laughter, the first Transfiguration class of the new semester ended.
Mag picked up the textbook and said, "Mr. Wayne, please come to the office with me."
Vincent stopped laughing and followed her slowly away with a grimace on his face.
Lavender stood up and suddenly screamed, "The prophecy has come true!"
The students who were about to leave the classroom stared at her blankly.
"Vincent was called to the office by the professor. This must be the beginning of his 'trip'!"
"Impossible." Hermione turned back, "Professor McGonagall is not a stingy person."
Lavender was suddenly speechless and whispered: "What's going on with Neville's tea cup..."
Hermione looked at the terrified people and explained:
"Professor Trelawney just used simple psychological suggestions and guidance to make Neville unconsciously believe that he would break the teacup..."
From a psychological point of view, a person can influence the psychology and behavior of other people in an implicit or indirect way.
Suggestions are divided into other people's cues, self-suggestions, behavioral cues, environmental cues, verbal cues, etc.
In terms of function, they are divided into positive hints and negative hints.
For example, before a child goes to bed, his mother tells him, "After playing all day, be careful of bedwetting."
The result is correct, but it is only a negative verbal suggestion.
"If you think about it carefully, has Professor Trelawney given all kinds of hints from the very beginning?"
Lavender was speechless.
The longing for the divination class was shattered like a mirror dropped to the ground.
Ron at the door said disdainfully: "Harry, I said she must be a liar."
Have it?
Probably.
Harry was obviously much more relaxed, "Let's go quickly, after lunch there is Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class."
After a well-founded explanation, my good mood returned.
The students made their way noisily to the auditorium downstairs.
…
…
Transfiguration Professor's Office,
Vincent was not worried about being blamed by Mag for masturbating a cat on the podium, but was worried about whether there would be extra homework in the new semester.
"Am I that terrible?"
"No, Professor, you are the nicest person, so why should I be afraid?"
Mag shook his head dumbfounded, "How are you doing with your human body transformation practice?"
Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, "It's barely a beginner. Now I can maintain two or three body parts."
"How long will it last?"
"About an hour."
Mag nodded, "It's pretty much what I expected. You can already learn Animagus."
Animagus is the most profound form of transformation magic.
After learning it, you can completely transform into a fixed animal without being limited by time.
Of course there are many benefits, but once the transformation fails, it will turn into an irrational beast like the Blood Demon Orc.
If there is no time turner, in order to reduce risks, no matter how talented you are, you have to prepare for three to five years.
Vincent's eyes gleamed.
Five years can be shortened to four years.
Four years can be two years, or even one year is not impossible.
Mag pursed his lips and poured a basin of cold water on it.
"I have to remind you, Vincent, that the use of the Time Turner needs to be strictly followed."
Vincent immediately said with a straight face, "Professor, I will never be discovered, I will never change the past, and I will never go back more than 5 hours ago."
His solemn assurance made Mag loosen his pursed lips.
"You should know the steps very well, but I think you first need to make sure there are no surprises."
The deeper your understanding of human body transformation, the safer your first Animagus transformation will be.
"Professor McGonagall, you know my character."
Merlin will not always favor the same person.
I have just reached the learning threshold, but I am not 100% able to learn it.
McGonagall's lips raised slightly, "Vincent, my Animagus transformation was completed under the guidance of Professor Dumbledore."
"While at school?"
"Yes."
Vincent suddenly felt like he was being plotted.
Dumbledore hinted to him at the end of last semester, allowing him to obtain the use of the Time Turner this semester.
Based on old man Deng's understanding of him, he can definitely guess that he will make reasonable use of the time turner without violating the regulations.
What the user goes back is time, and it is impossible for the user to go back in time.
It is not a problem to study future courses in advance, it is not a problem to improve your magic level rapidly, and it is not a problem to shorten the growth time.
