Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

“I thought you had something to say about those pure-blood families,” Professor McGonagall said, looking at Puni.

In fact, her speaking to a junior wizard like that was already a bit too much.

But for some reason, she always felt like talking more to Puni.

This child has an inexplicable charm.

"I don't have any opinions, after all, everyone has their own choices. It's just that I can't agree with some of their choices. For example, many mixed-race families. I think it's very loving that they can put away their wands, pretend to be Muggles, and never use magic again, just to keep their families stable. I think only love can make them make such a choice. In short, I admire them very much."

Puni couldn't possibly hide his wand and act like an ordinary person year after year, doing everything himself.

He had experienced this kind of life in his previous life; it wasn't fun or interesting.

Puni's casual remark silenced Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall lowered her eyelids, and the image of her mother involuntarily surfaced in her mind, along with the thought of how she herself had almost hidden the wand back then.

Enveloped in love?

After a moment, Professor McGonagall nodded and then walked back to the podium: "Go and find a seat."

Even after all four of them, including Puni, were seated, Marcos and his two companions were still in a daze.

On the very first day of school, I was able to have a free and open conversation with the strictest professor.

Puni is really something!

Soon, people began to enter the classroom one after another. It wasn't just people from Ravenclaw; people from the other three houses were also rushing over.

Transfiguration is a course that runs throughout the young wizards' entire school life, and it covers a great deal of content, definitely not just repeating the same Transfiguration spell over and over again.

On the contrary, even when some adult wizards attempt to transform, the spell may fail or even have the opposite effect, potentially harming themselves or others.

This is a very large course, and Puni and the others still need to start learning from the very basics.

"To learn Transfiguration, you not only need to change the shape of an object, but also how to make a part disappear, add, or transform it?"

"Disappearance spell, transformation spell, summoning spell... these are all things you will need to study in depth in the future."

"In this lesson, I must sternly tell you that Transfiguration is extremely dangerous, the most difficult magic to master at Hogwarts, and some of you may never be able to learn it to a high degree in your entire lives."

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium, her face serious.

She first demonstrated by transforming the long table in the center of the podium into a robust bull.

The cow's horns and fur looked so real, with every detail of the texture and curves clearly visible, that everyone present couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Even Puni, it could be said, was seeing such an outstanding transformation for the first time.

“You must be rigorous in learning Transfiguration, because advanced Transfiguration can even cross the boundary between life and death, achieving the transformation between inanimate objects and living things.”

Moo!

The bull raised its head and bellowed at just the right moment.

"It is also worth noting that this deformation has clear limitations. For example, once the deformed object is severely damaged, it will automatically return to its original state."

Professor McGonagall's wand shot out a beam of light, which struck the bull in the face.

As if slapped, the bull turned its head to the side, then spun around and transformed back into the original long table.

"Even if it remains intact, most transformation effects can only last for a period of time. Of course, in some extreme cases, it may last until the caster dies. I'm just telling you the general situation."

“Transfiguration spells that last for extremely long periods of time are not something you need to consider right now.”

Chapter 28 Professor McGonagall: You seem to have an amazing talent for the Vanishing Charm.

Professor McGonagall's voice echoed throughout the classroom. No one whispered; almost everyone's attention was focused on the serious professor.

"very good."

Seeing everyone's condition, Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction.

Of the four houses, the ones that gave her the least trouble when teaching were Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Ravenclaw students are generally very bright, so she doesn't have to worry too much about their learning progress.

Hufflepuffs may not be as quick as Ravenclaws at mastering magic, but they always keep quiet in class.

As for Gryffindor and Slytherin...

Professor McGonagall glanced at the Gryffindors, who seemed silent yet restless, and at the Slytherins, who, while respectful, appeared frivolous and dismissive.

Oh, I'm too lazy to think about it.

Professor McGonagall walked around the classroom once, and then returned to the podium.

"I am very satisfied with your performance in this class, but I still want to remind you that I do not want to see anyone causing trouble in my class and ignoring my rules."

"I'm not joking with you. If anyone causes serious harm, I will permanently disqualify you from attending classes! Otherwise, one of your actions could cause another student to suffer pain that they shouldn't have to endure!"

"Magic is not child's play!"

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the classroom fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Professor McGonagall looked around and then waved her wand.

"I've given you a basic overview of Transfiguration. Now we'll begin learning the most fundamental theoretical knowledge of Transfiguration."

On the blackboard, one piece of writing after another appeared out of thin air, neat and orderly, almost covering the blackboard.

"These are all knowledge points that are not in the textbook. I will write them all down and check them one by one."

The scratching sound of pens gliding across paper filled the air instantly.

Professor McGonagall did not rush to continue the lecture. Instead, she waited until everyone had copied down the basic theoretical knowledge about Transfiguration before handing out a box of matches to each person.

"Open the matchbox, take out a match, and use your magic wands to transform the match into a thin needle."

Many students were fiddling with matches, some looking curious, others looking worried.

Seriously? Shouldn't the first lesson be purely about theoretical knowledge?

Why is there still classwork?!

Many Gryffindor students were scratching their heads in frustration.

Marcos was also completely bewildered.

Puni ignored everyone else and instead looked down at the notes he had copied.

"Compared to vanishing spells and summoning spells, transmutation spells consume less magic and are more stable, making them the most suitable transmutation spells for beginners."

Although it wasn't anything particularly profound, Puni was able to understand Professor McGonagall's intention in having everyone copy the notes.

Force everyone to read about Transfiguration.

Moreover, this first lesson only involves turning matches into needles, so it's unlikely that any major problems will arise. Even if they do, Professor McGonagall can promptly correct them with a Restoration Charm.

So this also shows that Professor McGonagall's strictness at times is just a bluff, in order to enable all the young wizards to learn magic better and with greater awareness of safety.

Puni couldn't help but think of many of his homeroom teachers from his previous life.

Sometimes teachers don't mean to put on a sour face, but if they seem too easy to bully, students will not listen to them; it's human nature.

Puni raised his wand and, following Professor McGonagall's instructions, cast a spell, gently tapping the match in front of him.

"Oh!"

Puni intended to try the Conversion Spell, but somehow he ended up using the Vanish Spell instead.

The match in front of him vanished into thin air.

"Hmm?" Professor McGonagall walked over. "Did you learn this spell at home before?"

Puni blinked, then shook her head and smiled sweetly: "I've read about basic transfiguration in the books at home, but I haven't tried it myself. It is indeed a dangerous spell. I'm afraid something might go wrong if no one is watching over me."

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly. This Mr. Lestrange was very sensible, quite different from the other Slytherin students.

“How about we try the Conversion Charm again?” Professor McGonagall suggested.

Puni nodded and raised his wand again.

However, compared to the Vanishing Spell, which he cast with ease, he was not so adept at using the Transformation Spell.

Professor McGonagall was somewhat puzzled: "You seem to have an amazing talent for the Vanishing Charm."

Puni blinked.

what does this mean?

Does that mean he's good at making people disappear?

My God, this is the biggest misunderstanding about him!

"Please let me try one more time."

Puni raised his hand again, tapped his wand, and magic flowed out.

"Oh!"

This time, not only the match in front of him, but the entire box next to him, along with the match, disappeared completely.

Puni: _?

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth slightly, paused, but said nothing. Instead, she turned around, took another box of matches from the podium, and placed it on his desk.

"Thank you, Professor." Puni coughed lightly.

Qiu Zhang, who was only separated from him by an aisle, took in all of this and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

Puni turned to look at her.

Cho Chang raised his chin, then tapped his wand.

The match in front of her suddenly became much thinner.

Although it hasn't turned into a fine needle yet, it's already quite effective.

Professor McGonagall hadn't left yet when she saw that the ends of the matches on Cho Chang's table were gradually taking on the shape of needles, and she couldn't help but nod in praise.

"Good, the progress is very fast."

Puni calmed down and began to study it on his own.

Before long, he also grasped the key to the transformation spell.
