HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Elaine's mastery of shapeshifting was not achieved overnight.

To verify his various hypotheses, he specifically found several mice, stray cats, some cookies, and some tables, and conducted a series of experiments.

The first experiment was "still object transformed into still object".

He turned a table into a cake, then crushed it. When it returned to normal, the table was still intact. However, when he fed the cake to a mouse, it instantly turned back into a table inside the mouse's body, causing the mouse to burst.

He later realized that this was because stomach acid affected the chemical properties of the cake.

In subsequent experiments, Elaine also tried turning cookies into matches and burning them, and turning them into iron and soaking them in an acidic solution. As a result, the transformation magic quickly failed, and the objects returned to their original state.

Then, Elaine had a sudden inspiration and turned the biscuit into ice to see if the ice would melt or evaporate.

The results showed that ice can melt into water, and water can evaporate into water vapor, but the melted water and the evaporated water vapor always accumulate within a certain range.

If the parts are too scattered, the transformation technique will also fail.

Elaine's second experiment was "animals becoming still objects".

He turned the mouse into a cake, crushed it, and when it turned back, the mouse was still perfectly healthy.

However, the rat's spirit was clearly severely damaged.

This proves that when the physical properties of the transformed object are damaged, the animal-shaped object can empathize with the damage.

Although the animal's body remains intact after the deformity surgery is removed, the process may leave a considerable degree of psychological trauma and shadow.

In other words, wizards can use transfiguration to torture people, but they cannot use it to kill people directly. The idea of ​​"turning a person into paper, tearing them up, and then killing them" is impossible to achieve.

The third experiment was "turning still life into animal".

Elaine first experimented with some cookies, transforming them into various animals such as turtles, birds, fish, mice, and cats.

Observation confirmed that these animals that appeared did not possess a soul or intelligence.

They can make sounds according to the wizard's wishes, but they cannot communicate with other members of the same species on their own initiative.

—The type of voice is affected by the physical structure of the object being transformed; when it becomes a parrot, it can even speak human language.

They can act to some extent according to the wizard's will, but their mobility is about the same as that of the animals they conjure.

When it transforms into a turtle, it moves as slowly as a turtle; when it transforms into a bird or a fish, it can fly in the air and swim in the water.

The fourth experiment is "animals turning into animals".

Elaine experimented with captured mice and stray cats, transforming them into other animals and observing their behavior.

This time, he discovered that although the transformed animals had acquired the habits and abilities of other creatures, they still retained their own wisdom and soul.

For example, if you turn a cat into a fish, it can go into the water; if you turn it into a bird, it can fly; and if you turn it into an ant or a bee, it acquires the biological habits of an ant or a bee.

However, even after the transformation, the fish, birds, ants, and bees still cannot communicate with the fish and birds, nor can they integrate into the ant colony or bee colony.

That's the basic situation regarding the four types of transfiguration.

However, Elaine's experiments went beyond that.

He began to try more experiments:

First, apply the Armor Charm to the object, then apply the Polymorph Charm to it, constantly changing the magical power of the two charms when they are cast, and observe the results of each experiment.

Apply different degrees of transformation spells to different magical items (magic wands, magical materials, etc. seized from other wizards) and record the duration of the transformation;

To test what level of Ice Shape magic can resist what level of Transfiguration spell by applying a shapeshifting spell to ice blocks created by Ice Shape magic...

Through repeated experiments, Elaine's skill in Transfiguration improved dramatically.

Now, he is even confident that he can get a big O in the OWLs' Transfiguration exam!

……

As the Transfiguration class was about to end, another person finally completed the "matchstick to needle" transformation.

It's Malfoy.

Professor McGonagall therefore fairly added 5 points to Slytherin's score.

In the afternoon, Hufflepuff ran into Slytherin again, this time during Professor Flitwick's Charms class.

Professor Flitwick possesses 'fairy' blood, so although he is in his forties, he is as short as a child.

However, this does not change the fact that he was once the 'Magic Duel Champion'.

"In this lesson, we will learn the 'Glowing Charm'."

"But before that, I'd like to confirm if any of the young wizards here already know this spell?"

All the young wizards in the classroom turned to look at Elivin.

They all remembered that on the day they arrived at Hogwarts, when they got off the train and walked to the Black Lake, Elaine had cast a brilliant glowing spell.

At that moment, the huge white orb of light hanging above everyone's heads illuminated the dark path as if it were daytime.

Elaine didn't try to hide anything and honestly raised his hand: "Professor, I will."

"Yeah?"

Flitwick seemed to have expected this, but was still pleased. "Oh, yes, of course you can, after all, you're such a wonderful little wizard..."

"I mean, I heard about that from a young wizard in my academy, on the day you started school..."

"Anyway, show me the Glowing Charm first!"

"no problem!"

Elaine readily agreed and immediately pulled out his wand.

"Fluorescent lights!"

Magic flowed from Elaven's body along the magic wand to its tip, transforming into a milky-white sphere of light.

No one spoke as they watched this scene; they knew that Elaven's Glowing Charm was more than that.

The next moment, the white sphere of light indeed changed—

It began to detach from the magic wand and fly into the air, growing larger and larger as it continued to change shape.

What started as a sphere gradually transformed into a graceful figure, which everyone realized appeared to be a princess wearing a crown, a gorgeous gown, and crystal high heels.

The princess began to dance in the air, and at the same time her colors became richer.

Her skin was still milky white, but no longer as glaring as before; her hair had become long, black, and smooth; her crown had turned gold; her gown had become pale purple; and her crystal shoes had become sky blue…

At some point, fireworks began to rise behind the princess, bursting forth like a dazzling array of stars, shimmering and magnificent.

The teachers and students present were completely captivated by the performance.

Five minutes later, Elaine waved his wand, stopping the performance.

Everyone finally came to their senses, and their gazes immediately focused on Elivin.

Every little wizard's face was filled with admiration.

Professor Flitwick was so excited that his hands were trembling, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. His gaze toward Elaine was filled with endless admiration.

"The Perfect Glowing Spell!!"

"This deserves an extra 20 points for Hufflepuff!!"
