Joel was stunned for two seconds before reacting, and put down the tableware in his hand, "You are right, the point of the transformation spell is to change the object back to its original state without changing its properties..."
The two people simply discussed it at the dinner table. Once they disagreed on a certain point of view, they would ask senior students for advice or use spells to prove it to themselves.
Eddie saw that their heads were almost close to each other, and there was a bit of sourness in his tone, "I'm so envious."
"What are you envious of?" Allen didn't know why. "The Transformation Spell? Professor McGonagall said that students who are not very good at Transfiguration can save the Transformation Spell until their third year."
"You..." Eddie was so angry at Allen's words, "Can you speak more tactfully? I know that my transfiguration skills are not good... Why are you taking the topic so far away? I don't envy this!"
"I'm more worried about Sergey." Allen's words made Eddie's face change. "Where did he go?"
The two looked around, but there was no sign of Sergey in the bustling auditorium.
Alan couldn't suppress his inner worry, so he left his seat and walked to the teacher's table to tell Professor Flitwick the truth.
Professor Flitwick was not surprised by the news. He reached out and patted Alan on the shoulder, "Before school started, I received a letter from Mr. Rowe's family. There have been a lot of things happening in his family recently, so he will have to come to school later.
"
After Flitwick assured Sergei that he was fine, Alan returned to his seat to share information with his roommates.
Joel nodded. Maybe Grandpa Sergey's illness has become more serious?
Discussing the conversion spell with Hailes made Joel's brain work faster, and he felt a sense of hunger in his belly. He took advantage of the last moment of the dinner to stuff two chicken nuggets into his mouth.
Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the huge auditorium fell silent.
"It seems that everyone has eaten and drank enough, so I will announce a few important things next," Dumbledore said. "The first is personnel changes. The new Professor Quirrell will take over Professor White's teaching position."
He introduced Professor Quirrell on his right. The thin man stood up and bowed to everyone with a cautious expression, "Hello everyone, I, I am Quirinus Quirrell, you, you can, you can.
Call me Professor Quirrell."
He bent over a little too much, and the purple kerchief wrapped around the back of his head was about to fall off. Quirrell quickly clumsily held it back up, almost making a fool of himself.
However, this scene was captured by the students in the audience, and they did not hesitate to laugh. Everyone was very dissatisfied with Professor White's successor.
Eddie laughed heartily, "Have you seen how stupid Professor Quirrell looks? He looks like he has a cobra brought back from Arabia in his turban!"
The surrounding students all echoed, and even Qiu and Marietta couldn't help laughing.
Joel didn't laugh, but he was a little scared. Eddie really dared to say that the thing hidden in Quirrell's turban was much more powerful than the cobra.
He glanced at the teacher's seat. He didn't know if Quirrell heard Eddie's words. His face was full of nervousness and uneasiness. Dumbledore waved and sat down immediately.
Dumbledore stretched out his hands and cleared his throat, and the students in the auditorium became quiet again.
"As a commonplace, Mr. Filch asked me to remind everyone that the use of magic spells is prohibited in the corridors; the selection of the Quidditch team will be held in the second week of school, and the Quidditch captains of each college will organize their own reports and coordinate the use of the venue."
"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to encounter an accident and die a painful death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor." Dumbledore said the last word without any clue, and everyone in the audience looked at each other in shock.
Fog.
But after Dumbledore finished his speech, the students still gave him warm applause.
After singing the school song with Professor Dumbledore, they could finally go back to their dormitory.
This time, we no longer need to follow the fifth-grade prefects when we return to the tower. We all move in groups of twos and threes on our own.
Joel followed the flow of people and left the auditorium. He did not go back to the tower to rest, but left the castle under the cover of darkness.
He first walked around the Black Lake for a while, making sure that no one was watching behind him before heading towards the Forbidden Forest without any worries.
When passing by Hagrid's hut, Joel tiptoed, trying to reduce the sound of his feet stepping on the grass. The dim light in Hagrid's hut shone on him through the window, casting a thin and long shadow on the grass.
Hagrid seemed to be cooking in the house, and Joel could smell some kind of roasting meat when he passed by.
The dark Forbidden Forest was right in front of him. Joel stepped into it, his wand already slipping into his hand.
The sky was dark, and Joel was afraid of attracting Hagrid and other unknown creatures, so he did not dare to turn on the lighting spell, so he had to search for his target in the dark.
He did a lot of homework during the summer vacation and has a certain understanding of unicorns and holly trees.
The holly tree is about 13 meters tall. Its leaves are thin and leathery, narrow and oval or lanceolate, with a tapered apex and a wedge-shaped base. There are also light circular serrations on the edges. The petals are purple-red or lavender and curl outward. The fruits
Oval or nearly spherical...
This type of tree that tolerates shade and humidity is not uncommon in the UK. Joel found a lot of holly trees in the dark outside the Forbidden Forest, but it was not easy to find a holly that grew well and was suitable for making a wand.
The trees here have not been maintained for a long time, and there are many damaged trunks. They must have been scratched and bitten by the creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
After a lot of effort, Joel found a good-quality holly in an area slightly inside the Forbidden Forest. He squatted down and wanted to mark it so that he could find it next time.
At this time, a roar came from within the Forbidden Forest, the sound was like thunder and earth-shattering, and it came towards the face with endless power.
Joel's heart trembled violently, and the roar seemed to arouse the most primitive fear in his heart.
He moved faster and took out a sky blue silk scarf from his arms - it was the reward for winning the House Cup last school year, and everyone in Ravenclaw had it.
Joel used a floating charm to hang it on the upper branch of the holly tree, and wrapped it around it to ensure that it would not be blown away by the strong wind.
Joel observed to make sure that the scarf did not look like it was hung up artificially. This way, if the scarf was discovered by Hagrid, who was patrolling the Forbidden Forest, he would have an excuse - after all, the wind in Ravenclaw Tower was very strong, and he could accidentally hang it up.
It makes sense that the silk scarf would blow into the Forbidden Forest.
After doing all this, Joel just left the Forbidden Forest. He was curious and afraid of the roar, but he didn't dare to go inside anymore. The Forbidden Forest was very large. No one knew about this forest in the 900 years since the school was founded.
How many strange and bizarre creatures are there?
When they returned to Ravenclaw Tower, Alan and Eddie had finished washing and were lying on the carpet fiddling with something.
