Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Professor McGonagall, with a blank expression, began:
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps turning you and Mr. Harry into pocket watches would be more effective; maybe then you would understand the meaning of punctuality."

Harry, standing nearby, swallowed hard. "Professor McGonagall, we're lost."

McGonagall turned to Harry and said, "Oh, so I should turn you into a map, is that it?"

"I don't think we need a map to find your seats, right?"

The two exchanged a glance and quickly sat down in their seats.

"Pfft!"

A sneer rang out.

Ron and Harry looked over.

It was Malfoy, who was at odds with them.

Judging from this person's expression and lip movements, the two knew that this person hadn't said anything nice.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The silver spoon on the podium tapped against the glass.

Malfoy had no choice but to quiet down.

Professor McGonagall then spoke:

“I will continue. Transfiguration is not just about transformation or change, but also a challenge and subversion of your understanding.”

"Before casting spells, before success, before anything begins, you must first believe in yourself."

"Believe in your ability to succeed, or that it or he can change and succeed."

"Transfiguration may not be the most dangerous magic at Hogwarts, but I can tell you that it is definitely the most complex magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Today, no, for the entire week, your Transfiguration class will have only one topic."

That is to transform the matches placed before you now into a silver needle.

McGonagall had just made that request.

The classroom was filled with the surprise and groans of the new students.

But this person continued talking to himself:

"The transformation of matter requires matching the properties of the matter. You don't need to know the principles behind advanced shapeshifting and turning into an animal for now."

"All you need to know now is that you will need to fine-tune the structure of the match to trigger the change in its properties."

"Of course, if any students are interested, they can use their break time to learn about the detailed principles of this magic. It's on the third floor of the sixth row of the library."

"Alright, everyone, let's begin using the method I just described!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the students, McGonagall smoothly transformed back into a gray tabby cat.

She walked gracefully through the classroom with a cat-like gait.

Just like a lion surveying its own territory.

Especially when he walked over to Harry and Ron.

"Arms, raise your arms!"

"Fifteen degrees."

“Ron, if you don’t know what a 15-degree angle is, I don’t mind conjuring up a set square for you.”

After McGonagall finished speaking, the other students began to whisper again.

"Quiet, quiet!"

"Those who laugh at Ron should take a look at Hermione and Shin!"

Some of the other students even stood up.

Upon seeing Hermione, both the silver-white matchsticks in front of her fell silent.

Seeing this, Li Xiao could only say that the genius's abilities were beginning to emerge.

As for Xin'er, she is a product of the cultivation system, so learning low-level magic is naturally easy for her.

But it was at this time.

"Oh!"

A sudden explosion.

This immediately caused the surrounding freshmen to scream.

But a match is just a match.

Even if the spell fails, it only burns for a moment and then ends.

Can be followed immediately.

Ron and Harry, looking disheveled, once again made everyone burst into laughter.

"Oh no, my matches!"

Ron stared at the table in front of him, now reduced to a few black ashes, and cried out in pain.

Harry shook his head as he looked at the unchanging match in front of him.

---------

I heard the bell ring.

All the students who were sitting upright breathed a sigh of relief.

"Harry, what elective will you study?"

And you, Ron?

"I?"

"I plan to focus on mastering the required courses first, and besides, I'm only in first grade now, so there's no rush."

As the two were talking, they saw a figure rushing out in a hurry.

All I could see was a head of long, flowing golden hair behind her; it was none other than Hermione.

"Um, did she go to take an elective course?"

Ron nodded: "I told you, she's not an ordinary person."

Ron then looked at Harry and said, "Well, you don't seem to be either."

Hearing what these two said, Li Xiao shook his head speechlessly.

He turned around and brushed past three young girls, then followed Harry Potter.

It was at this moment that Zhan Lan's voice echoed in my mind.

"Li Xiao, you'll be attending Potions class next period."

Li Xiao: "Received."

In Li Xiao's mind, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was like a younger version of a university.

After enrollment, students from all departments can attend classes together.

The courses were simply divided into electives and required courses.

There are also grade-level divisions.

These include Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbalism, History of Magic, Astronomy, and Flying, a compulsory course for first-year students.

There are eight disciplines in total.

Of these, only three spells are required for all grades: Transfiguration, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The rest are all lower-grade learning content.

After all, spellcasting is fundamental, the basis for casting other spells, so there's no need for older students to study it.

As for the history of magic, the past is the past. First and second year students, and some even finish it in their first year with self-study.

Flying is even simpler; it's a course specifically designed for first-year students, or freshmen.

Elective courses are generally required to be taken after three years or more of study.

However, the school does not mind younger students auditing classes, such as certain geniuses.

The reason it's called the third year is because the elective courses are quite advanced, and if your grades are average, you might not understand them at all.

There are as many as six elective courses.

Divination.

Amazing biology.

The study of ancient Chinese characters.

Muggle Studies.

Phantom Current Lesson.

And a specialized advanced course for grades six and seven: Alchemy.

As for why Li Xiao followed Harry Potter...

Then we can only say that we're using this person to act as the three young ladies' personal bodyguards.

As for everyone else.

Naturally, that meant investing in various elective courses and required courses for upper-level students.

Not to learn, but just to listen and watch.

To this end, Chu Xuan and Xiao Honglu even split into two groups and began frantically recording and studying.

After the first lesson, Zheng Zha and the others realized a reality.

That means I am not a genius.

In other words, it boils down to three words: I don't understand.

Since that's the case, we can only settle for second best and write it down first.

The history of magic was taken over by Saito Hajime.

Zhan Lan, carrying Moss, went directly to the Hogwarts student library.

The Zhongzhou team made no attempt to conceal their actions, as did the other three teams.

It's as if the four teams had already held a meeting and discussed it last night.

The members of each team dispersed and began their studies in their respective grades and subjects.

They looked just like real exchange students, or at least they seemed that way.

Classrooms on the third floor.

Bang!
The door was closed by the black figure who entered.

Everyone in the classroom was startled by the loud noise.

Before they could react, they heard the figure who rushed in say loudly:
"In my class, no waving of wands or chanting of spells is allowed."

"Personally, I don't think most of you are capable of grasping the techniques and intricacies of potion learning, but..."

"For those very few who possess the necessary qualifications, I can teach you how to bewitch their minds and imprison their senses..."

"I can teach you to rise to fame, to build honor, and even to live forever."

"You can make all these potions, but I think none of you have a chance of making this kind of potion!"

After speaking, the figure walked to the very front of the classroom, onto the podium.

Snape, dressed in a black wizard's robe, looked at everyone in the room.

His cold gaze swept over the figures that were completely different from the freshmen.

But in the end, he looked at an inconspicuous figure among the new students.

"I also want to clarify something: some people may think that just because they are famous at Hogwarts, they can be overconfident and think they don't need to pay attention in class!!"

Perhaps because Snape's gaze was too aggressive, Hermione, who was Harry's deskmate in this class, immediately bumped into the inattentive classmate next to her.

Unfortunately, it was already a bit late.

Harry snapped out of his reverie when Snape walked up to him.

Unfortunately, it was too late by then.

Snape, expressionless, said, "Mr. Potter, a rising star, tell me, what do you get if you add mercury powder to an artemisia solution?"

Harry Potter's first reaction upon hearing this was to widen his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first lesson.

Moreover, I've never even heard of mercury or mugwort.

That's just how it is.

In the entire classroom, one person actually raised their hand.

As luck would have it, it was Hermione, Harry Potter's colleague.

Harry Potter looked at Ron on the other side, while Ron covered his face.

Finally, the up-and-coming celebrity looked at the professor, pursed his lips, and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I don't know."

Snape was very close to Harry: "You don't know?"

"Okay, let's change the question."

"Where should you start if you want to find bovine spinal cord extract?"

What is ox spine yellow, and why do I need to find it?
This is the inner monologue of every new student in this classroom.

It was as if this wasn't the first class at all, but a graduation exam.

So the final result is...

Just like before, the entire classroom was completely silent.

Even so, Hermione raised her hand again, her expression extremely excited.

Li Xiao, who was in the corner, almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

However, this person held back, but someone else couldn't.

"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard!"

"Excuse me, Professor Snape, I'll go out myself."

After saying that, the exchange student from the Japanese team consciously walked out of the classroom and stood at the door as punishment.

The moment he stepped out and closed the door, his expression changed, and he thought to himself:

"Captain, I'm out!"

"Meet us on the fourth floor!"

Leaving aside the underhanded tactics of the Japanese team.

Because in the classroom.

As the exchange student left.

Harry said again, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know."

Snape looked at Harry and, before he could speak, continued to ask:

"Tell me, Mr. Potter, what is the difference between Aconitum carmichaelii and Aconitum ferox?"

As the third question was posed, Hermione next to Harry raised her hand for the third time.

This person's facial expressions are almost overflowing the screen.

It's practically as if they have "I can do this" written all over their faces.

Turning her gaze, she saw that Ron, on Hermione's other side, was also on the verge of losing his composure.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I don't know."

And look at the confusion in Harry's eyes.

Snape's expression finally changed slightly, but this change went unnoticed by Harry and the other new students who had their heads bowed.

Snape quickly adjusted his mindset: "What a pity, it seems reputation isn't everything."

"Is that right, Mr. Potter?"

Malfoy watched this scene with a mocking expression.

Ron and Hermione could both clearly sense Harry's emotional fluctuations.

But it was at this time.

A frog jumped onto Malfoy's table.

After laughing, the man turned around and made eye contact with the frog, and then their lips touched.

next moment.

"what!!!"

"Neville Longbottom, I'm going to kill you!"

However, those words had just been spoken.

A sudden gust of wind flew out of Snape's wand without warning, carrying Malfoy out of the classroom.

Snape turned to the side with a grim expression: "Mr. Neville, your pet..."

"Professor, I can get out by myself, I can get out by myself!"

Neville Longbottom, his newborn robes stretched taut and rounded, stood up with an awkward expression.

He called out as he walked, "Reverie? Reverie, where are you?"

However, it was this little incident that made the other students forget about Harry Potter from earlier.

Instead, they started discussing Malfoy.

It was also in Li Xiao's heart.

Zhan Lan was almost doubled over with laughter.

Yes, that's exactly what happened just now.

It was the result of Zhan Lan's remote prank.

To Zhan Lan, these magic students' pets were simply convenient and fun toys.

Not just Neville's toads and frogs.

As long as it's not a particularly strange animal, Zhan Lan can communicate with it.

Yes, it's about communication, not control.

The control measures are effective, but there are also many loopholes.

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, especially in front of certain professors.

Zhan Lan certainly didn't want to be the one to expose her.

Neville closed the door.

The person who had just stood still then realized something was wrong.

The exchange student who came out earlier and Malfoy have both disappeared.

He was the only one left at the classroom door.

At the same time on the other side.

The exchange student, who was holding Malfoy, quickly reunited with his captain.

However, at this moment, three older students huddled in a corner appeared in front of Honda.

Malfoy only understood what was going on when he saw this.

"Boss, this came so easily, Snape actually kicked him out."

"So, how about we beat him up to vent our anger?"

As he spoke, the Japanese player who was holding Malfoy let go of his hand.

Malfoy, being quite experienced, turned and ran without a word after gaining his freedom. (End of Chapter)
