Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 13 Transformation

Wade had thought that with proper guidance, most spells would be easy for them to master, but that was not the case. The level of magic ultimately depended on personal talent.

Simple spells, such as the Cleansing Spell and the Repairing Spell, were performed by several people without much difference. But when the difficulty of the spells increased, Theo seemed to be struggling. He learned the Levitation Spell more than a dozen times but still couldn't quite get it right. Ryan and Michael were better, but they were also intermittent. Hermione still succeeded once, but she had a hard time levitating heavy objects.

However, for students who have just started magic school, even if they have just mastered a simple spell, they are very excited. When they walked towards the auditorium at dinner time, Michael was still showing off to Theo: "Did you see the last repair spell I cast? It was perfect! The chandelier on the ceiling was restored to its original state immediately! I dare say it was not that bright when it was just hung up!"

Ryan was still waving his wand, muttering to himself, practicing spells silently. Sparks flew out from the tip of his wand and almost burned Hermione's hair.

"Oh, please! Don't point your wand at anyone," Hermione said immediately, and then asked enthusiastically, "What are you practicing?"

Her face seemed to say - come and ask me!
"Levitation spell." Ryan said. He had a good temper and could understand the little girl's eagerness to help despite her seemingly domineering attitude, so he was very calm from beginning to end.

"But you just succeeded!" said Hermione in amazement.

Ryan shook his head: "I always feel like there's something missing from my spell."

They arrived at the auditorium. The sumptuous dinner exuded an enticing aroma, and it seemed as if they had just realized how hungry they were.

Theo muttered, "Merlin! I think I could eat a cow right now!"

The sense of accomplishment of learning a spell is great, but the process of hard work is too hard. After dinner, Michael finally couldn't wait to leave the study group and asked Terry, who shared a dormitory with him, to play a rolling stone game in the courtyard. Hermione and the others went back to the lounge to do their homework, while Wade took advantage of the library not closing yet to borrow two books he had read at noon.

They had cleaned the practice room in the afternoon, and after fixing the tables and chairs, they placed them against the wall, and used the empty cabinets next to them as bookshelves. Wade turned on the lights and put away the ink and quills. The cheers and laughter of the little wizards came from outside the window, and Wade opened the book and immersed himself in reading.

"Magic Theory" - [Tampering with the deepest secrets - the source of life, the essence of the self - must be prepared to bear the most extreme and dangerous consequences. ]

"Analysis of the Working Principles of Basic Spells"——[Magic is the embodiment of the wizard's will. 】

Whether it is to show off among their friends or to gain powerful strength, young wizards are often more easily attracted by cool and magical spells, and are willing to spend a lot of time practicing advanced spells, and disdain those difficult, awkward and boring theories. Even though "Magic Theory" is a first-grade textbook, young wizards would rather learn two evil spells like "Fire Roasting" than read such boring books.

But Wade is different, perhaps because when he was in school in his previous life, his teacher repeatedly emphasized the importance of recognizing the essence, understanding the principles, and mastering the rules. Only in this way can one break away from the ever-changing question types and the rote learning method. One can get high scores without doing a large number of questions, and can also solve new question types smoothly. This is the so-called high-efficiency learning.

That is to say, not only should we know the fact, but also the reason. This study habit made Wei De a "study god" in the eyes of teachers and classmates in his previous life. He went to bed early and got up early every day without staying up late. He still had time to play ball and play games. His grades were also among the best among many classmates who worked hard.

Wade maintained the same habit in this life. He believed that no matter whether it was science or magic, and no matter if he had a golden finger or not, a solid foundation would definitely be of great and significant help to his studies.

........................

Defense Against the Dark Arts was worse than expected.

Wade had heard that Professor Quirrell was an extremely smart Ravenclaw who taught Muggle Studies at Hogwarts a year ago. He was young, handsome, knowledgeable, and very popular among students. Wade thought that even if he had Voldemort hanging behind his head now, his knowledge had not disappeared, and his class should still teach something useful.

But the fact was that Quirrell was lecturing by rote, his words were incoherent and his voice was unclear. It was hard to hear him clearly from a distance, but when you were close... the garlic smell on his body made the Slytherins nearby wear masks of pain.

Putting himself in his shoes, Vader could understand his state - anyone with an extremely evil soul parasitizing on their head would have no intention of preparing for class. But understanding does not mean acceptance, and during the second Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Vader sat at the farthest point to read and study.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will learn at Hogwarts. If anyone acts naughty in my class, I will kick him out and never let him come in again!"

Professor McGonagall said sternly during the Transfiguration class. She waved her wand and turned the desk into a pig and back again, and all the students looked at it with eyes shining.

"Transfiguration is the most elegant magic, but to learn Transfiguration, you first need to understand Gamp's Laws of Transfiguration... Write it down, students! Don't be stupid."

"-- Before using the Transfiguration Spell, you must first clearly picture in your mind what you want the object to look like-- no distracting thoughts. Chaotic thoughts will definitely lead to failure. Such examples are countless in history..."

"It is important to wave the wand firmly and decisively... The spell should be pronounced clearly when you are just starting out, but a skilled wizard can perform Transfiguration without saying the spell..."

"Incomplete transformation is both irresponsible and dangerous, especially in biological transformation. This involves the three theories of the law of transformation... If the transformation fails, it may cause extremely serious consequences. For example, a few years ago there was a French wizard... Therefore, when the transformation fails, it should be terminated immediately and restored to the original state. The spell is [Restore Original Form]. Practice it with me now-"

Wade wrote down at least thirteen inches of notes on parchment and practiced [Restore Original Form] several times before Professor McGonagall asked them to really practice Transfiguration. She gave each of them a match and asked them to turn it into a needle. Some students chanted the spell loudly and poked the match here and there, but nothing changed.

Wade did not act immediately. A sentence he read in a book yesterday flashed through his mind - magic is the embodiment of the wizard's will.
