Chapter 10 Life at Hogwarts (1)

Hogwarts in the morning is beautiful, it exudes a fragrance everywhere. But this first night at Hogwarts was clearly not so kind to Chronos.

Leaving aside the snoring of Crabbe and Goyle last night, the damp environment of the Slytherin lounge was unbearable for Kronos. When he woke up early in the morning, Kronos' junior was already drenched, and was blown by the breeze from the corridor. It felt like being showered with cold water in the early morning.

"You woke up so early! Chronos" Draco Malfoy next to him found Chronos who was already making the bed, and at this moment he was rubbing the corners of his eyes with his hands.

"Well, if you don't want to be late on the first day of class, you'd better get up early. You know, the stairs at Hogwarts are a big difficulty for freshmen." Kronos had already Donning his wizard robes.

"Damn it!" Draco got up from the bed after cursing, and yelled at Crabbe and Goyle.

There are a total of 142 staircases in Hogwarts. Some of them are wide and big; some are narrow and small and rickety; some lead to different places every Friday; some go up halfway and a step disappears suddenly, you have to remember where Should jump over. These are the most important things for Kronos, and Kronos will firmly remember these routes along the way, which is an important condition for a night tour of Hogwarts.

The restaurant in the morning was already filled with students. Some senior students even got up and left to go to the classroom.

"Does any of you know what our first class is?" Draco asked falteringly, filling his mouth with food.

"I seem to remember the Transfiguration class with the other three academies." Crabbe said suddenly with few words.

Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration classroom is on the second floor. When Chronos and Draco walked into the classroom, there were already students sitting on the seats on both sides. The classroom is very spacious, and the tables and chairs on both sides are enough to accommodate students from four colleges to listen to lectures at the same time. A tabby cat stood on the podium at the front of the classroom, his sharp eyes swept over every student who entered the classroom.

Seeing this, Draco wanted to go forward to drive it away, but was stopped by Kronos.

"If you don't want to finish this class with fear, I advise you not to provoke him." That's what Kronos said at the time.

Although he didn't understand, Draco took back his outstretched hand awkwardly after listening to Chronos' words.

After a while, all the students from the four colleges arrived, but Harry Potter caused quite a stir when he arrived! After all, everyone wants to see the legendary Boy Who Lived.

The tabby cat on the podium jumped down, and the tabby cat was gone. In its place was a serious-looking woman, who else could it be but Professor McGonagall.

Seeing this scene, Draco exclaimed, causing Kronos to give him a hard look.

Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will teach at Hogwarts. She said, "Anyone who tries to misbehave in my class, I ask him out and never let him in again." I have warned you. "

"Is she really not bragging? My dad says she's a stubborn old woman who's been working at Hawkwarts almost half her life." Draco whispered in Kronos' ear.

Kronos didn't want to talk to him about this, he was too uninterested in Draco's childish behavior.

Professor McGonagall on the podium. She turned her podium into a pig, then back again. Obviously, this operation immediately attracted the attention of most of the students present, including Kronos, and they wished to wave the wand in their hands immediately.

"Okay, now turn your textbook to the first lesson. What we are going to learn today is to turn a match into a needle." After seeing the students' interest being aroused, Professor McGonagall said,

Teaching started immediately.

After Chronos and the others took a lot of complicated and obscure notes, Professor McGonagall gave each of them a match, a very common one.

Everyone around excitedly took out their wands and began to cast spells on the matches in front of the table. Watching the students around them waving their wands.

This reminded Kronos that in Journey to the West, Sun Xingzhe tricked away the two magic weapons of King Jinyinjiao in Lianhua Cave with blindfolded methods at Pingdingshan.

Although deception cannot change the nature of matter like transfiguration, Kronos still felt that he had to mutter something when he waved his wand.

"Change!" Kronos imitated Sun Walker's tone, and said to the match with his wand.

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Looking at the unchanging match, Kronos couldn't help it anymore, he was amused by his appearance.

"Mr. Slughorn, have you successfully turned matches into silver needles? Otherwise, I really can't figure out why you are so happy." Professor McGonagall's voice sounded in Kronos' ear.

Kronos looked up and saw Professor McGonagall standing next to him.

"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall. Um, I mean. Why don't the other spells have spells but Transfiguration doesn't. It's weird, isn't it?"

The surrounding students also looked at this place, obviously they also had the same questions as Kronos. After feeling the eyes of the students around him, Professor McGonagall took a deep look at Chronos. Then stroll to the podium.

"In the long history of the wizarding world, transfiguration has always been a magic that is difficult for wizards to learn and use freely. The transfiguration spell does not simply change the shape of an object, it also changes the nature of an object. This leads to a single and simple The spell cannot restrain the transfiguration spell, and the same lengthy and complicated spell also violates the original intention of the spell to help wizards cast spells conveniently."

"So when we cast the transformation spell, we must firmly think about what we want to become. At the same time, this is also an effective way to train you to cast spells silently."

"Okay! This explanation is perfect." Even some young wizards' eyes lit up after hearing the following words. You must know that silent casting is a standard for legendary wizards like Dumbledore!

The time of one class passed quickly, but there was only one person who successfully turned matches into silver needles.

"Very well, Miss Granger's Transfiguration is the first to succeed. Five points for Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall said loudly in the classroom.

And the one sitting upright next to him must be Hermione Granger.

"Okay, your homework is to master today's lesson." Professor McGonagall has already started to assign homework.

"Wait a minute, Professor McGonagall." Kronos raised his right hand.

"Is there any question, Mr. Slughorn." Professor McGonagall helped her eyes. She was very fond of this student who could ask questions.

"Professor McGonagall, I don't think it is suitable for us to turn matches into silver needles. Maybe we should start with something simpler, such as turning matches into wood. I mean they are the same substance, aren't they?" Corot North spoke out about his problems. In one class, he failed to cast the Transfiguration Charm once, which made him very unhappy.

Professor McGonagall took another deep look at Chronos.

"Of course, if you think it's too difficult to become a silver needle, you can settle for the next best thing." After saying this, Professor McGonagall left the classroom with the textbook in his arms.
