Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

The next second, to the astonishment of the two, the cat on the podium leaped down, transforming into a human form in mid-air, becoming Professor McGonagall's appearance.

Ron and Harry were dumbfounded.

The other freshmen had similar expressions. They didn't know that the cat in front of them was actually Professor McGonagall, and they were also glad that they hadn't been late or done anything wrong.

For example, petting cats.

Only Hermione remained calm and composed.

"That's really amazing..." Ron praised, but the embarrassment on his face betrayed his true feelings.

“Thank you for your assessment, Mr. Weasley,” Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly. “Perhaps I should turn you and Mr. Potter into a pocket watch, so that at least one of you can keep to the time.”

Harry whispered in protest, "We're lost..."

"Then turn it into a map."

Seeing that Professor McGonagall showed no sign of a smile, the two little ones wisely shut their mouths.

"Go sit down."

Hearing McGonagall's words, the two felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They looked around and their eyes suddenly lit up. They then went straight to Hermione's side and sat down as if they were old friends.

Hermione didn't even look up, and the two of them didn't seem to care either, even craning their necks to look at the book in her hand.

Although Hermione was aloof, so far, apart from each other, she was actually the most familiar face among the freshmen.

Professor McGonagall did not provide any actual instruction on Transfiguration, but rather gave a general explanation of the basic principles and various branches of Transfiguration.

Animagus, summoning, manifestation, cross-species transformation, human transformation, etc.

At the same time, he showed off his skills, eliciting gasps of surprise from the young wizards.

The first lesson ended happily just like that.

After class, the young wizards walked along, discussing the amazing phenomenon they had just witnessed.

"Did you see that? A mouse just turned into a glass!" Ron shouted excitedly to Harry.

Harry was just as incredulous; this was the first time he had truly felt that he had entered a real magical world.

Seeing Hermione's calm expression, Harry couldn't help but ask, "Hermione, don't you think Professor McGonagall's move just now was amazing?"

He couldn't understand why the beautiful girl in front of him always had a calm expression, no matter the situation.

They were all about the same age.

Thinking of this, Harry had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could it be that you, like Ron, come from a wizarding family?"

Hermione shook her head: "No, my parents are Muggles."

Ron's expression froze upon hearing this, indicating that he was deeply hurt.

He, a man from a traditional wizarding family, was still shouting and yelling, while the girl in front of him, who had never been exposed to magic before, seemed to know much more than him.

“Hmm…” Hermione stopped and pondered for a moment before saying, “It is indeed very powerful, but once you learn it, you’ll realize that it’s not all that special.”

Harry and Ron exchanged a glance.

Ron retorted, "That's as if you could say the same thing."

“Yes, I do.” Hermione nodded.

The two were stunned for a moment, their eyes widening as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Ron was just annoyed by Hermione's dismissive attitude, which was why he deliberately made a sarcastic remark. He didn't expect Hermione to admit it so readily!

This left him unsure how to respond.

Although Harry didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with doubt.

Hermione sensed their disbelief and said with a half-smile, "What if I really could?"

Ron scoffed, "Hmph, then I'll just eat Harry's quill pen, are you satisfied now?"

Harry: ? ? ?

No, why did you two use my things as a wager in your bet?

"it is good."

Hermione didn't say much, just nodded slightly, took out her wand, and pointed it at the quill in Harry's hand.

"Flavus!"

As the spell was cast, a flash of light appeared at the tip of the wand, and before two pairs of astonished eyes, the quill gradually transformed into a head, claws, a tail, and finally the shape of a mouse.

It no longer resembles a quill pen at all.

The mouse jumped off Harry's hand and, as if it had come to life, scrambled onto Ron in a few steps.

The two stared wide-eyed at the sight before them, especially Ron, whose mouth was agape as if it could fit an egg.

I was truly shocked by this move.

Seeing their reactions, Hermione's lips curled into a slight smile, and she uttered two words calmly:

"Eat."

Chapter 5: Learning Potions is Not as Good as Studying History

No, you really can?

Ron looked completely bewildered at the rats scurrying all over him, swallowed hard, and looked at Harry with pleading eyes.

Harry quickly took a half step back, looking away, his meaning clear.

The bet you made has nothing to do with me, so stay away from me.

The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.

The thought of eating the rat made Ron feel nauseous.

Not only did he swallow live prey, but the bigger reason was that he personally liked rats very much, and even kept a rat named Peter, no, Scabbers, as a pet.

Hermione didn't understand, but she respected.

With a wave of the magic wand, the transformation was broken, and the mouse instantly turned back into a quill pen, drifting to the ground.

"Ah."

With a soft chuckle, Hermione left without looking back.

Ron and Harry stared at each other for a moment, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.

They knew very well that there were no teachings on Transfiguration in the books available in Diagon Alley before they enrolled. In other words, Hermione learned Transfiguration immediately after seeing McGonagall use it once.

How could this not shock them?

Even for Ron, who came from a wizarding family, this situation was far beyond his comprehension.

what is this?

Genius?

Watching Hermione's retreating figure, Harry and Ron hurriedly chased after her.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Hermione didn't stop, but looked into the spellbook in her mind.

Having already subdued the two little ones and established her authority in their minds, Hermione was now more concerned with the two Transfiguration spells she had just recorded.

【Transfiguration Lv1 (1/1000)】

[Transfiguration: Animagus (Cat)]

She had already used the former, so this would increase her familiarity with it.

She could sense that level 1 Transformation could only transform small objects, and the duration wasn't very long. Increasing proficiency could improve the effect, but it still couldn't escape this limitation.

It's likely that only when it reaches level 2 will it have other effects and achieve a qualitative change.

Hermione, on the other hand, hasn't had the chance to try yet.

Animagus is a term for a wizard who can transform into a certain animal while retaining magic. One rule is that the animal a wizard can transform into is related to factors such as their physical appearance and personality, and cannot be chosen. Furthermore, a wizard can only transform into one animal throughout their life and cannot change it.

Moreover, this transformation is extremely difficult to master, and the training process carries considerable risks.

The fact that only seven people registered as Animagus throughout the entire 20th century in the Harry Potter world illustrates this point.

However, judging from the description in the spellbook, Hermione should be able to transform into a cat directly like Professor McGonagall, since Animagus is permanent and there is no such thing as proficiency.

But if that's the case... she can also collect other Animagus transformations?

Hermione strode forward as she pondered, flanked by two bodyguard-like followers on either side of her.

Without even a moment's mourning for the blows suffered by the two, the battlefield they were about to head to was... the Potions classroom!

……

In any classroom, the last corner is always a highly contested area.

Hermione has twenty years of experience with this.

However, right now, this corner, which should have been the least noticeable, has become the focus of attention for the new students.

Because Snape, dressed in black robes, was staring intently into Harry's eyes beside her, his face gloomy.
