Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 122 Gamp's Basic Law of Transformation
On Wednesday, the day started early with the Daily Prophet.

Harry Potter personally did not like this fabricated newspaper, but due to previous reports, he could only develop the habit of reading the Daily Prophet as soon as he washed up every day.

This also allowed Harry to understand and deepen the magical world.

Of course, he himself did not subscribe. No matter how rich Harry was, he would not subscribe to reports that slandered him.

For some reason, there's been something off about Anthony lately, maybe because Tina Goldstein, who shares his last name, isn't as famous as he is?
Harry actually realized that Anthony was also a bit vain, just like his friends Michael and Terry, but Michael was the most flamboyant, followed by Terry, and he himself was the most reserved.

This gave Harry a headache. He didn't know whose paper he should borrow to read the newspaper. Anthony's was definitely not good.

"Huh?" Harry rubbed his eyes. There was a fresh copy of the Daily Prophet sitting beside his bed, but it was obviously not Anthony's - there was a copy sitting beside his bed, and he was the only one in his dormitory. Subscribe to the Daily Prophet.

"Harry, it's mine." Ryan nodded.

"Okay, let me take a look." Harry said.

Then a scream came from Harry's mouth. Ron came over worriedly after washing up, and then there was also a scream.

At this time, Neville had to move closer. Logically speaking, as long as Ron was there, he would be at least two meters away from him.

Neville also stood there blankly, and like the two people before him, he let out a cry of terror, but Neville's cry lasted longer, first in surprise, and then in despair.

At this time, the Anthony trio also came over with concern. At the critical moment, they all forgot about their little emotions.

Harry, Ron, and Neville all had angry faces, and their expressions could not be described in words. The next second, they all uttered curse words, and kept saying the most vicious words they could imagine in their lives. language.

"Damn it! You've obviously mentioned me before, but this time even my name is wrong!" Ron was surprisingly outrageous. This was what made him most angry.

Harry and Neville were also surprised by Ron's concern, and they didn't even bother to get angry.

This incident almost made them forget that they had classes in the morning and wasted a lot of unnecessary time getting angry.

The other first years who were planning to fight with Harry, the destroyer of Peeves, had already set off for class.

Fortunately, Ron and the others maintained a good routine and always got up early. At the last second when the bell rang, they rushed into the Transfiguration classroom on the first floor.

"Don't worry, I can understand your lateness today." Professor McGonagall said unexpectedly. It seems that since the last issue of the report, even Professor McGonagall began to stare at the Daily Prophet every day and noticed the above Report.

Harry, Ron and others gasped and tried their best to say thank you before sitting in the last row. Of course, no one noticed Ryan, who slowly sat next to Hermione.

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she saw that the other little wizards who didn't know the truth looked confused and their minds were probably not on the class. The other little wizards who knew something also had mysterious expressions on their faces. "Well, if I don't finish this topic, I guess you won't be able to attend the class."

"I understand that Rita Skeeter posted a story today about Harry."

"I can only say that as Ravenclaws you should know better what to believe. That report is full of ridiculous and unfounded conjectures."

"I hope that after watching it after class, you won't be suspicious of your classmates!"

"Okay, let's go to class!" Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.

"You can't devote yourself wholeheartedly to the transformation spell. It will undoubtedly be dangerous when using it."

"So, today we will learn about the basic rules of transfiguration. These rules have been discovered and summarized by pioneers over thousands of years from countless failed cases." Professor McGonagall said.

"Professor McGonagall, is there no practical part of today's course?" Lisa Dupin raised her hand and asked.

"Yes, not at all."

"And have you ever practiced on a daily basis? Besides Ms. Granger, who else is now proficient in turning matches into needles?" Professor McGonagall said after hearing that there was only theory and was filled with grief.

"Okay, let's get started. If there are students who have previewed, they can guess what I am going to talk about today based on the key words I just mentioned?"

"Those are the five exceptions to Gamp's basic law of transformation."

"First, due to the limit of food transformation, wizards cannot conjure delicacies out of thin air, nor can they turn other things into food. Even if you eat them, you cannot absorb the nutrients. Instead, you will suffer from indigestion and even life-threatening dangers. !" Professor McGonagall paused briefly, looked around, and saw that everyone was taking notes, then continued, "However, if you already have some food, then you can transform it and make it bigger. And , the food that appears on the dinner plates in Hogwarts is not conjured, but after the food is prepared in the kitchen, it is transferred to the containers on the dining table through the 'Transportation Spell'."

"Second, it is the limit of deformation of living things. There is no permanent transformation between living and dead things. We can turn a button into a beetle, but it cannot move forever. As long as the attached magic power dissipates, it will still return to a button. . In addition, even if the transformed beetle looks the same as a living one, it is still a button in essence. If you feed it to a bird, it will not fill its stomach, but will choke to death." Professor McGonagall gave an example and once again emphasized that inedible things cannot be turned into food.

"Third, it is the limit of alchemical transformation. Transfiguration cannot produce magic items. It can only be achieved through complex alchemy. For example, automatic quills, automatic stirring crucibles, etc., even gold Galleons, the currency circulated among our wizards All have been cast by goblins, it will not oxidize and is not easily destroyed, and it also has the ability to automatically identify and count."

"Fourth, it is the limit of quantitative deformation. Deformation cannot change the quantity. That is, you cannot turn a table into two cats, or turn three quills into a fork, but there is an exception. The connected objects are like To become a 'whole', you can use the Transfiguration spell to change it, and even if you turn it back, it will not affect the arrangement and attachment of the original object." Professor McGonagall cleared her throat.

"In other words, if I turn Mr. Ronnie Weasley, who is wearing clothes, into an eagle, and then change him back again, his clothes will still not stick to his body like feathers." Professor McGonagall started. He made a joke that only those who read the Daily Prophet today would understand.

"Fifth, last, and most important, transform the boundaries of nothingness, that is, transfiguration cannot create something out of nothing. Maybe you have seen upperclassmen use wands to conjure a flock of birds or a bouquet of flowers, etc., but these are by no means transfiguration. Those things conjured by magic spells may just be limited-time entity projections summoned by magic spells, or they may be changed forms and hidden in the palm of your hand."

Finally, at 11 o'clock, get out of class finally ended. After assigning homework, Professor McGonagall hadn't left yet. Everyone couldn't wait to gather in front of Harry and ask him about everything in the report.
