Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 113 Transfiguration Practice

Although there are some flaws in the production of these terracotta figurines, it does not affect their basic use.

After Moon lit the [Hand Warming Spell] on each terracotta figurine one after another, the young wizards each tried out the first use of the hand warmers.

There happened to be an astronomy class at midnight on Wednesday, and the hand warmer card was completed today, which also added some rare warmth to the little wizards.

"I think rats are pretty good too. At least they won't make me look like Malfoy."

Ron was very proud now. He had two clay figurines with the Hand Warming Spell lit in his pockets, and one in his hand.

Compared to the warmth of Ron, Harry and the others, the Slytherin students who took astronomy class with Gryffindor were all shivering.

Malfoy even hid behind Goyle and Crabbe, using their figures to block the cold wind.

Harry agreed with Ron's opinion and lent a half-finished owl figurine to Lavender Brown.

Hermione also lent a missing-ear cat to her roommate, Parvati Patil.

So the first-year wizards of Gryffindor were listening attentively and happily in this astronomy class.

Professor Sinistra's lecture on astronomy finally jumped out of the solar system today.

"Students, look north through your telescope. There are three stars neatly arranged. That is Orion's belt."

Orion is the main content of tonight's astronomy class, and this is also the first time Moon has learned about the constellations of this world.

Professor Sinistra talked a lot about Orion. Although Moon didn't know what the point of learning these constellations was, he wrote them down one by one.

"In ancient Greek mythology, Orion represents the hunter Orion, and it symbolizes bravery, determination, and the persistent pursuit of goals."

"In ancient Egyptian mythology, Orion is often associated with death and rebirth, and is considered a symbol of Hades."

Combining astronomy and mythology is the teaching experience summarized by Professor Sinistra.

She believed that this would be the best way to motivate the little wizards to attend classes.

She even combined the horoscopes with the divination course that young wizards only learn in the third grade.

"Classmates, Professor Trelawney's astrology is, uh, very special. She once told me that people born under the influence of Orion have a strong curiosity and a spirit of exploration."

After the second half of the astronomy class, almost all the little wizards could no longer hold on.

The Slytherin students were naturally upset because of the increasingly bad weather and the howling cold wind.

The Gryffindor students were drowsy because of the boring content and the warm terracotta figurines.

It wasn't until Professor Sinistra reminded me that Orion would likely be a required subject in the astronomy OWL practical exam.

Hermione listened more attentively, while Harry and Ron simply folded a corner of the page.

"The OWL exam is still a long way off, there's no need to take notes just yet."

Moon followed suit and folded the corner of the page. He was not very interested in the astronomy of this world.

In his opinion, it would be better to return to Xilin and study the irregular crimson moon in the sky than to study the stars in this world.

At one o'clock in the morning, the astronomy class ended.

When Moon and his group returned to the dormitory, Bengbeng had already fallen asleep holding a little "Bengbeng".

There was no problem of breakage during the firing of the small-sized pottery figurines. It was just that they were baked for a long time, causing a slight discoloration.

However, this does not affect Bengbeng's love for this small pottery figurine.

Unlike Bong-Bong, Neville also left a toad figurine for Ralph.

However, Laifu didn't seem to like the warm terracotta figurines, and he stayed away from the iron box containing the terracotta figurines.

Neville was a little reluctant. After returning from the Astronomy Tower, he saw that Bong and Ron's mouse were sleeping with the terracotta figurine, so he put Ralph back into the tin box. "It's very warm here. You will definitely like it, right, Ralph?"

"Gu~" (No, I hate fire!)
Moon heard the toad's protest as soon as he lay down on the bed, but he did not alert Neville.

Since coming to the castle, Rafe has been lost by Neville dozens of times. If it wants to stay away from the fire, it should be an easy thing.

Hermione had been researching Transfiguration issues before she started making figurines.

Moon was originally very curious about her research progress.

But the little witch kept it a secret and said she would wait until Thursday to tell you.

It wasn't until the first Transfiguration class that morning that Professor McGonagall announced that they would learn the "Beetle Color Changing" magic.

Moon understood why Hermione said she would explain it today.

"So you wanted to use the color-changing magic on the terracotta figurines."

"Yes, I've read a lot of books on Transfiguration, and this should be the easiest way."

As a branch of transfiguration, color-changing magic is relatively easy to master, so it has become a compulsory learning subject for first-year wizards.

"Okay, Miss Granger, Mr. Scarlett, pay attention in class."

Professor McGonagall was as strict as ever in class.

After reminding Hermione and Moon, McGonagall took out a pitch-black beetle and demonstrated the color-changing technique.

"Remember to first visualize the color you want in your mind, and then chant the spell [Color Alteration]."

"You must concentrate and not be distracted, otherwise the beetle may end up in your mouth."

Professor McGonagall's explanation was very detailed. After explaining all the key points, she let the young wizards try it on their own.

"Be careful not to be distracted, Mr. Weasley. Two of your beetle legs have been broken."

"Harry, take your time. You should make it change color, not fly."

"Mr. Longbottom, where's your beetle?"

"Seamus, remember, don't cook the beetles again."

There are always various mistakes in magic practice, and Moon and Hermione are no exception.

"Miss Granger, I think if you only changed one color at a time, you should have succeeded long ago."

"Mr. Scarlett, where's your beetle? Don't tell me it's lost too."

"No, Professor, I've already finished practicing and lent it to Neville."

"Uh~, okay. Remember to let me check it in advance next time."

"Okay, Professor."

While Professor McGonagall was checking on the other students, Moon observed Hermione's practice.

"Yellow, white, black, do you want to be a calico cat?"

Hermione's beetle color-changing exercise was actually completed at the beginning.

But later she wanted to master more, and after using the color-changing technique many times, the beetle turned back to black.

"Yes, I wanted to make the cat figurine more beautiful, but I didn't expect that the color-changing technique would fail after exceeding three colors."
