The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"There are three main principles of transfiguration: precision, directness, and speed. When operating, you must concentrate so that the thing about to be transformed completely merges with the picture in your mind."

"Attention! It is very difficult to transform any living thing. Among them, it is easiest to turn a dead thing into a living thing. It is much more difficult to turn a living thing into a dead thing."

"Human Transfiguration is the most dangerous form of Transfiguration. It has caused countless accidents in history. There are always some disobedient students in Hogwarts who made mistakes in Transfiguration class and were sent to school. Hospital. Most of them are lucky and can recover as before thanks to Madam Pomfrey's superb medical skills, but some students are more unfortunate, and their end is usually tragic."

"Many famous dark magic creatures were created due to errors in transfiguration, such as the infamous five-legged monster, and there is also a curse that spreads through the blood. I will not go into details here. Your Defense Against the Dark Arts class You will learn this from the meeting.”

When Professor McGonagall was talking about this, her eyes deliberately avoided Alito's direction.

Alito lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"Now you can start the operation. There is a match on the table in front of you. The task is to turn these matches into needles before get out of class ends. I will give extra points to the outstanding students."

The freshmen picked up their wands one after another, chanted the mantra, and poked the matches in front of them again and again.

"Nice transformation, Mr. Greengrass."Alito turned the match in front of him into a smooth silver needle with just a flick of his hand.

"Two points for Slytherin, but I believe you can do better, right?"Professor McGonagall said in an encouraging tone.

Alito thought about it for a long time while holding the wand, and then waved it again.

This time, a very delicate pattern appeared on the surface of the silver needle. If you look closely, it looks like a rose flower.

"Not bad, one more point for Slytherin."Mag nodded with great satisfaction, then turned to look at Zhang Qi.

(I have already mentioned before that Professor McGonagall has a very good relationship with Astoria, and even took the initiative to turn into a cat to make her happy when she was sick as a child, so there is no need to question why a first-year freshman is so Strong transfiguration skills)

"Mr. Zirol? I believe you must have the ability to turn matches into needles, so why not try your limits?"

Zhang Qi, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously, and used the golden nanmu wand in his hand to light the match in front of him.

With a clear sound like a balloon deflating, the shape of the match in front of them gradually distorted and became larger, and finally a shiny silver object appeared in front of several people.

"This is a Muggle gun"?Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

Zhang Qi smiled and said nothing, then grabbed the Colt revolver.

"Crack, crash"!

With Zhang Qi's very neat operation, he directly disassembled the pistol into parts.

Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows in surprise, sighing that this child is really talented.Because although she can do better herself, she can even turn a match into an alarm clock and then disassemble the alarm clock back into parts.But that was something she could only do in her 40s, and the child in front of her was only 11 years old.

But it's not over yet.

Zhang Qi stretched out his hand again and laid out all the parts on his table, then first picked up the handle of the revolver.

"Click, clang"!

Before anyone could react, the pile of parts on the table was reassembled into a pistol.

"I underestimated you, Mr. Zirol, five points for Slytherin"!

Professor McGonagall, who finally came to her senses, looked at Zhang Qi with intense eyes. After all these years, she would finally have a transformation genius who could rival her!

Zhang Qi avoided Professor McGonagall's eyes with some embarrassment.

Transfiguration requires not only the skill of the caster, but also an extremely deep and clear understanding of what one wants to transform into.Any defect will affect the quality of the deformation.

About guns?But no one is more familiar with this thing than Zhang Qi.

If it weren't for the fear of being suspected, the protagonist who had just transformed would have replaced the Colt revolver with the Type 64 small cannon that Zhang Qi was more familiar with.

------------------------

The Transfiguration class ended quickly. Among the Slytherin students, only Zhang Qi and Alito, two accomplished students, completed the class tasks. However, the good students from Ravenclaw who attended the class with them were indeed talented and intelligent. , 5 people successfully completed the rough transformation, but compared with these two people, they immediately became eclipsed.

Today, Slytherin only has two courses: Potions and Transfiguration, which can be regarded as a buffer opportunity for students on the first day of school.

Soon it was dinner time, and the originally empty auditorium began to become crowded again. New delicacies continued to appear on the table. Everyone grabbed the food in front of them to fill their stomachs, and at the same time from time to time. Just glanced at the long Slytherin table.

Zhang Qi added 10 points to Slytherin today, and Alito also added seven shining emeralds to Slytherin's hourglass.Not to mention that Zhang Qi showed his superb skills in the morning's duel, defeating a foul-mouthed seventh-year Ravenclaw student.

And the lunch at noon was too hurried, and no one had time to pay attention to the two of them, so this time, the two of them became the focus of the audience at the dinner.

"I'm stuffed".Zhang Qi, who finally couldn't stand the gazes of others, let out a long sigh, put down the knife and fork in his hand, then picked up the napkin beside him and wiped his mouth elegantly.He stood up and walked out of the auditorium, then walked up the stairs towards the kitchen on the basement floor.

Today is Zhang Qi’s birthday, but as he is not very familiar with others, he does not intend to share the news with others. However, since he has not eaten enough at night, Zhang Qi finally decided to go to the kitchen to customize a small one. Small cake.

You can also share it with your interesting roommate when you go back.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhang Qi's lips without him knowing it.

First, he passed by Hufflepuff's dormitory, and after carefully walking around a pile of flammable and explosive vinegar vats on the ground, Zhang Qi successfully found a portrait.

The subject of the portrait is a silver bowl filled with fruits, the top of which is a green pear.

"That should be right here."Zhang Qi said to himself, then stretched out his right hand and scratched the pear gently.

The pear began to squirm, and a smiling face like a stick figure appeared on it.The green pear chuckled and then suddenly turned into a green doorknob.

It's a very hidden and convenient mechanism, but if you keep scratching it like this, aren't you afraid of scratching the painting?

Zhang Qi, full of doubts, pressed the door handle downwards and then opened the door.

Behind the door is a large room, which is slightly smaller than the auditorium.There are many gleaming copper pots and basins stacked next to the gray stone wall. Further inside, there is a clean stove and a sink with flowing water.The innermost one is a large brick fireplace with red charcoal fire burning inside, making people feel extremely warm.

"Oh, I'm a student at Hogwarts"!

There was a high-pitched scream not far away, and a small thing ran over quickly.

"A student of Slytherin! What a noble bloodline"!the thing screamed, excitement and respect in its tone.

"Can I help you in any way, sir?"

Zhang Qi, who had just been shocked and had just recovered, had time to look at this thing carefully.

Big bat-like ears, protruding green eyes like baseballs, wrinkled flesh-colored skin, and a little sparse hair on the top of his head.A house elf that looks like this is indeed extremely weird, so it's no wonder that he was shocked just now.

No wonder Hekmadia would never keep this thing in his family's manor. If anyone came across it when they got up at night, they would be frightened to the point of incontinence.

"Uh, I want to make a cake myself"...

Before Zhang Qi finished speaking, the house elf started screaming again.

"Oh, today is your birthday! How can you do this kind of thing yourself? We will make you a big five-layer cake right away"!

Before the stunned Zhang Qi could continue to speak, noisy and disturbing sounds could be heard in the kitchen.

"That"... Zhang Qi just wanted to speak politely when he saw that they had poured the prepared egg liquid, fruit and yogurt into the mold, then threw it into the oven and started baking.

Ah this...

Zhang Qi smacked his mouth, feeling that he didn't eat enough at night because of face issues, so if he shared this big cake with his roommates, there shouldn't be anything wasted.

"Crack"!

With a crisp sound, plump hazelnuts floated into the air one after another from the basket containing them. Then the shell cracked, and the snow-white and plump hazelnuts inside broke into pieces and were evenly scattered. On top of the cake base that has been covered with chocolate buttercream.

Then the top is covered with cream and fresh cherry and strawberry jam.

It took less than 5 minutes to prepare a large cake that could have been placed at a wedding in Zhang Qi's previous life.

"Um, thank you."

Zhang Qi looked at the huge cake in front of him and said incoherently.

"Serving the students of Hogwarts is our mission"!The elf screamed and almost cried.

Zhang Qi was so frightened that he quickly carried the cake and walked out of the kitchen without looking back.

"Hilbert classmate"?Just when Zhang Qi let out a sigh of relief in the corridor, he was ready to move the heavy cake back to the dormitory in one go.Suddenly, a surprised female voice came from behind him.

"Senior Farley"!Zhang Qi, who clearly saw who the visitor was, nodded slightly to show respect.

Well, actually he couldn't bend down while holding this big cake.

"Can you cast a levitating spell for me? I haven't learned this spell yet."

Zhang Qi said a little embarrassed.

"Ok, ok".

There was a hint of weirdness in Farley's voice and expression, but Zhang Qi, who was busy carrying the cake, didn't think much about it. Now he just wanted to move this heavy thing to the dormitory quickly.

Then with Farley's help, Zhang Qi successfully moved the cake into the Slytherin common room.
