Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 366
The next day was Thursday, after Kyle finished his breakfast, he walked out of the auditorium with Connor, preparing for the next Transfiguration class.

When they came to the classroom, Professor McGonagall was already waiting at the door in advance, and stopped the two who were just about to enter the classroom.

"Miss Prince, can I ask you to go in first?" She said to Connor.

"Okay, Professor McGonagall." Connor didn't ask much, nodded and walked into the classroom.

Then Professor McGonagall took Kyle to the corridor next to him, and asked with a smile, "Do you remember the paper you sent me a month ago?"

"The one with the Most Promising Newcomer Award in "Transfiguration Today?" Kyle asked, "The result came out so soon?"

"Not yet, but I've got the inside tip... good news."

Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The editor-in-chief of Hulse, who is in charge of selecting the Newcomer Award, is my friend. When we were communicating a few days ago, I asked her for some information.

Although she didn't say so, she did let me in on a piece of news... Mrs. Gusseldamachban appreciates your paper. "

"Mrs. Marchban..." Kyle thought for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Is that Mrs. Marchban from the Wizarding Examinations Administration?"

"I didn't expect you to know her."

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised. After all, Mrs. Marchban was more than 120 years old. She was a person from the last century, and she rarely showed up.

And only at the end of each semester, she would come to Hogwarts to take charge of the wizarding level exams in the fifth and seventh grades, that is, OWLs, and NEWT.

So under normal circumstances, few wizards below the fifth grade knew about her.

"Charlie mentioned it before." Kyle explained: "He said that after the OWLs exam, he saw Professor Dumbledore personally send an old lady out of the school."

"Mr. Weasley then told us that it was Mrs. Marchbane, who had worked at the Ministry of Magic for 100 years and was also Professor Dumbledore's examiner when he graduated."

"That's right. Mrs. Marchban has indeed been in charge of many people's exams...including Professor Dumbledore."

Then Professor McGonagall continued: "But she is not the only one."

"Ms. Marchban is most famous for her influence in the academic world. Whether it is "Transfiguration Today" magazine or in the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, she has a pivotal position."

Kyle nodded.

It's not difficult to understand, the person that even Dumbledore respects must not be due to the examiner alone.

Moreover, the Wizarding Examinations Administration can be said to be one of the most boring jobs in the Ministry of Magic. It is tedious and monotonous... At the same time, the salary is also the lowest, only about half of that of other department staff.

Three to five years is considered a long time for normal people, and only Mrs. Marchban can stay in this position for 100 years.

"So you understand."

Professor McGonagall continued: "Being able to get her approval means that your thesis is probably okay.

I guess, after Christmas, people from "Transfiguration Today" should come to the school, and then they will ask you some questions, which is the final test.

If you can pass, your paper will appear in the next issue of the journal...and it will be the front page, the most prominent position. "

At this time, it was just time for class.

Professor McGonagall speeded up his speech, and while walking towards the classroom, he hurriedly said to Kyle: "Be prepared, their questions are not so easy to answer."

Before the class bell rang, the two walked into the classroom at the same time.

Connor saved a seat for him, and Kyle went to sit next to her.

"What's going on?" Kang Na asked in a low voice, "It was discovered that you were selling high-priced jewelry?"

"It has nothing to do with that."

Kyle was about to tell her the thesis, but Professor McGonagall spoke. He could only shake his head and said, "Let's talk about it after class..."

When they walked into the classroom, the smile on Professor McGonagall's face disappeared almost instantly, and turned into his usual serious look.

"Grade [-] is very important. Next year is the OWLs exam. I hope you all can concentrate and stop being as sloppy as the previous two years."

"What we are going to learn today is cross-species conversion, which is also a question that will definitely appear in the OWLs exam. Remember, it is not possible, but it will definitely appear.

Because what I have learned before is the most basic content, only when I have learned the cross-species conversion can I truly master the Transfiguration. "

Professor McGonagall's sharp eyes scanned the classroom.

Everyone straightened their backs immediately, not daring to breathe.

"Very good, open the book, let's start with the simple ones... Different from objects that remain static, when transmuting between species, the Transfiguration Charm must be adjusted accordingly..."

After Professor McGonagall said what to pay attention to, he took out a guinea fowl and turned it into a chubby guinea pig.

"This is the task of your class. If there are still feathers on it, it will be considered unqualified!"

The classroom was soon filled with the sound of guinea fowls flapping their wings, and occasionally some people's screams could be heard in the middle, because their hands were pecked.

After the transfiguration class, only three people completed the requirements, and the guinea pigs handed in by most of them still had thick feathers, which was obviously unqualified.

Professor McGonagall looked a little ugly.

Kyle and Connor left the Transfiguration classroom and walked up the stairs.

On the way, Kyle briefly told her about the thesis.

Connor was surprised at first, but now that it's Kyle, it doesn't seem so strange.

Compared with the Second Class Medal of the Order of Merlin and the neatly arranged three special contribution medals to the school in the prize showroom, the Most Potential Newcomer Award of "Transfiguration Today" seems to be the same.

"I knew it would be fine..."

Connor patted Kyle on the shoulder cheeringly, and said with a smile: "When the periodical after the Christmas holiday comes out, I will buy a few more copies, so I support you."

"That's so embarrassing..." Kyle asked in a low voice, "How much do you want to order, five hundred copies... I can ask Professor McGonagall to print it in advance."

"You think well, up to five copies." Kang Na said angrily: "Transfiguration Today is very expensive, how can I have so much money?"

Kyle thought about it, and it seemed the same. This kind of academic magazine must be more expensive than the "Daily Prophet".

"All right, but remember to give Professor Snape a copy when the time comes." He said, "Nothing else, I just want to hear what the professor thinks about my paper."

Connor turned her head and glanced at Kyle.

Her intuition told her that this guy had no good intentions, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, and even if Kyle didn't tell her, she would still show it to Professor Snape.
