Chapter 10： Hogwarts first contact

Studying in Hogwarts Castle, the first difficulty you need to face is that most of the things in the castle are alive. For example, it can move escalators, steps, armor, oil paintings on the walls, and a door that needs to be opened or disguised by special means.

Yes, when the descriptions in the novels and the pictures in the movie really appeared in front of Ryan's eyes, he felt extremely excited to see these for the first time.

But when this excitement passed, the difficulties caused by the constantly moving furnishings in the castle really showed in front of us. The complicated interior structure led Ryan to spend a lot of time when looking for a destination. I have to say that Hogwarts has a slow pace of life, which is probably related to these troublesome facilities.

The worst thing was that on Tuesday afternoon, on the way to the classroom, he even met Pippi Ghost, which caused him and several classmates to be late for the first lecture of Dean Professor McGonagall.

When they panted into the classroom of the deformation class, they found that it was not time for class, but some students had already sat down in the classroom to do their own things.

This classroom is not much different from ordinary middle school classrooms, except that a cat is squatting on the desk.

Hermione, who came in with Ryan, was obviously a cat lover. She tried to scratch the chin of the cat on the desk, but unfortunately the cat hid dexterously. Ryan stared at Hermione stunned. After he entered the classroom Focusing on finding a seat, it was unexpected that Hermione, who was very stable in the impression, would have such a bearish side.

Ryan pulled Hermione back who wanted to puff the cat, and saluted the cat. Hermione looked at Ryan with questioning eyes. After returning to her seat, Hermione asked Ryan across the aisle: "Why are you saluting the cat?"

It seems that Hermione is really not a slow person. "The cat above was changed by Professor McGonagall. She is one of only seven registered Animagus in this century. Look at the cat's eyes Is the pattern exactly the same as Professor McGonagall ’s glasses? "Ryan said softly

Hermione looked up at the cat, and suddenly her entire face turned red. She buried her face in her arms and said in a very light voice: "You know why this thing didn't tell me earlier?"

Ryan did n’t know how to answer. He thought to himself: A cat standing on the podium is not a normal thing in itself. How can I guess that you will get started directly to touch it? Similarly, was the mature and stable Hermione lost?

A few minutes later, the time for class arrived, the classroom door was pushed open again, and Harry and Ron rushed in.

"Great, Professor McGonagall is not here yet." Ron said happily to Harry.

The voice dropped, and the cat on the podium jumped down and turned into a humanoid.

"Mc--Professor McGonagall!" Ron suddenly looked as if his face was earthy.

"I think I should turn you into an alarm clock so that you will not be late." McGonagall said a little angrily.

"We just got lost, Professor."

"That's why you should be turned into a map myself. Don't be late again next time, go back to your seat."

The two of them ran into their seats and sat down.

"Ryan Liang, you are the first freshman to recognize me this year. It seems that you have excellent observation skills and have carefully prepared before class, so Gryffindor is very good." Ryan, then walked onto the podium.

"Transfiguration is the most complicated and dangerous spell in your Hogwarts course." She said, "Anyone who wants to be mischievous in my class, I invite him out, and never let him in again. But I have warned you. "

Then, she turned her lectern into a pig, and then changed it back. The students were all attracted, and wished they could start learning immediately, but they soon understood that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals. After they wrote down a lot of complicated and difficult notes, she sent them a match and began to make them try to become a needle.

Sure enough, as Ryan thought, magic is not just a spell that can be cast by waving a wand. This is a very rigorous knowledge, which contains many profound theories. It seems that to learn magic well, just simple training is not enough, but also to learn to understand the principles.

Morphology is a subject that is simple and simple, and difficult to say. For example, a freshman can turn a match into a needle. But if a master is allowed to do such a thing, then this needle can be of various materials, various styles, and this deformation effect can be maintained for hundreds of years.

And apart from the difference in magic power, this gap is the understanding of the magic itself and the grasp of various material properties. Especially in the latter point, it takes a lot of time and energy to accumulate. It is not speculative.

Ryan took a moment to combine the pre-lesson preparation with the knowledge copied to notes in this lesson to understand the principle, and then began the actual operation. The conversion from theory to practice is not as simple as imagined. Until the end of the class, he turned the match into a needle, but it was still three minutes slower than Hermione. UU read and the changed needle was still No pinholes.

Ryan thought he was shameful. But after looking around, they found that other people's progress was slower, and even the matches in front of some people did not change at all.

After class, Professor McGonagall nodded to Ryan. After all, for beginners, it is already a good performance to make items change. Of course it is true. The situation of learning Ba Hermione is an example.

In addition to Professor McGonagall ’s transformation course, Ryan has also gained a lot in several other courses, whether it is a spell or herbal medicine class.

In the curse class, Professor Flitwick was a small wizard, and when he remembered the name of Harry Potter, he fell down from the pile of books excitedly, which made people feel a bit exaggerated. However, he has a deep knowledge of spells and is very happy to answer the students' questions. After many inquiries, Ryan feels that his spell level has improved rapidly. .

In the herbal medicine class, Ryan felt that it was handy to deal with those plants, and even got a bonus from Professor Sprout. This is probably a special bonus of the Tianzhao lineage on the land.

However, the history of astronomy and magic is not so interesting. The first grade of astronomy is purely some observation records and some simple calculations of the astrological cycle, which is very boring.

The history of magic is taught by a ghost, Professor Binns. During the class, Professor Binns kept talking in a monotonous voice, and the students scribbled notes. From what the professor tells, Ryan can get a lot of knowledge outside the history book, and even many major historical events Professor Binns has experienced in person. However, the professor's monotonous and non-stop lecture style makes people feel drowsy. So after each class, he had to borrow the notes of the only student in the class who was not asleep, Hermione.
