Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 1290: Professor McGonagall's defense

The next morning, the news broke that McGonagall's course would be reviewed at the breakfast table.

The students were curious to find out the details, but no one knew much about the place, the time.

Everyone guessed that the disciplinary committees might know more, but when Hannah repeated for the third time that she didn't know, and began to clench her fists, the good little wizards finally believed that Hannah didn't know the details, the only thing people knew was , this time it was not only officials from the British Ministry of Magic who arrived at Hogwarts to participate in the review.

"So, our task is to stand outside the door? To prevent students from entering and making trouble?"

Hannah's eyes wandered back and forth between Hermione and Elena, as if trying to see something on their faces.

"While professors and officials are meeting inside, we stand at the door like stone guards until the jury meeting is completely over?"

"Well, actually in and out of court—"

Elena shrugged and said cautiously.

"You and Luna maintain the outfield, and you don't have to stand at the door. There will be chairs, sign-in stands, etc..."

"And Sister Elena and Sister Hermione are sitting comfortably in there and watching, right?"

Luna said softly with some resentment, and she glanced at Elena and Hermione, "Will there be shifts in the middle, in and out?"

"Well, it should be... well... of course..."

Under the offensive eyes of Luna and Hannah, Elena reluctantly compromised.

"If you can convince other students to come to the top class, I can ask Bill Weasley on the senior side."

"No problem, I can ask Ginny, Danilova and the others!"

Hannah's eyes lit up and answered quickly.

The Witch Guild has been established for so long, and now there is finally something they can tell them to do!

So, until that night, the four little witches waited in advance in the Transfiguration classroom.

Ginny and Bill were in charge of check-in and order maintenance in the outfield, while Danilova and Irina patrolled the corridors and performed their duties as trainee ethics committee members.

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps on the other side of the corridor.

Professor McGonagall and dozens of adult wizards poured in through the door of the Transfiguration classroom.

Umbridge was at the end of the line, and she was pulling Ms. Burns, the head of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement, and whispering something.

"Then let's start as soon as possible, everyone—"

When the last wizard entered the classroom, Professor McGonagall waved and closed the teacher's door.

This is not an interrogation, but an academic review meeting to determine whether the "New Transfiguration" conforms to the norms of magic teaching.

She did something similar in the lecture hall of the off-campus research institute not long ago, so she didn't feel too nervous or uneasy.

"The birth of the New Transfiguration Theory is essentially to answer the exceptions in Gamp's Law of Transfiguration..."

Professor McGonagall looked around at everyone in the classroom, drew out her wand, and tapped on the blackboard.

Following her explanation, the magic blackboard books were unfolded one by one on the blackboard.

With the exception of a few Ministry of Magic officials, most of the wizards present were experts in the field of contemporary Transfiguration.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall can skip many basics and start directly with specific theoretical changes.

She spoke for about a quarter of an hour, and everyone listened attentively, and the room was silent.

She said that in the course of many years of teaching, she found that the stability and success rate of Transfiguration will be greatly affected by the caster's brain model. After several months of teaching attempts, Professor McGonagall now With 100% certainty, clarifying the physical parameters of the target's frame, weight, and hardness will save a lot of mana consumption.

She also said that she had carefully studied five exceptions to Gamp's law of deformation, trying to find similar laws among them. At the beginning, she thought that those exceptions should be independent and non-interfering special cases, but the emergence of Nicole Lemay and Apocalypse subverted her previous understanding-the purpose of alchemy is to Up-converting new substances, which is very similar to the state of Transfiguration, but different. So she began to wonder if Transfiguration was another magical logic...

"Very good," the editor-in-chief of Transfiguration Today nodded thoughtfully when she paused, "So, Transfiguration and Alchemy are two types of magic."

"I have to remind you that if it is derived from this point of view, it is not a deformation. But if it is not a deformation... then what is it?"

"Concept coverage -- or information coverage."

Professor McGonagall continued, her voice was a little hoarse because she kept talking.

However, the look in her eyes became brighter and brighter, as if someone had lit two magic torches in her eyes.

She began to explain the relevant theories about the composition of the world and the splitting of information, asking the question of an object that looks like an apple and smells like an apple...

But then, Professor McGonagall's voice became hesitant.

The more you study Transfiguration, the easier it is to encounter problems. The most difficult thing to overcome is the chemical properties and chemical reactions.

In fact, she has only just come into contact with these contents in the past few months, and it is difficult to fully explain them in such a short period of time.

The classic metamorphosis theory ends at the level of object deformation, and no one will pay attention to the transformation and replacement of more subtle and distant chemical fields before:

Wizards don't have much concept of chemical reaction, even alchemy is more based on long experience summary.

And with the arrival of those Muggle scholars, an unexplored road quietly unfolded before McGonagall.

"Magic of a certain science", this is how Dalia used to call it.

Human eyes, and even the magic of wizards, are temporarily unable to truly see those tiny and indescribable electrons and atoms.

Professor McGonagall pondered seriously, how should she explain if it involves deformation control in the field of chemical reactions... How should she prove to others that there are subtle things in this world that are countless times smaller than dust, and after they touch and collide, There will be wonderful changes, which in turn affect the stability of Transfiguration.

She subconsciously shifted her gaze to "Professor Apocalis" who was sitting in the front row. It was related to the field of alchemy, and the other party should know more than her.

I saw Professor Apocalis smiling slightly, as if he had guessed her troubles and said suddenly.

"Further, those are your own research topics, right?"

Grindelwald grinned and said, "I think that's the end of your explanation, after all, we're only discussing the scope of the students' learning today."

"Alchemy deformation - this is a problem that has lasted for more than a dozen centuries. I have only just touched the slightest fur, you don't need to hurry."

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, a big, relieved sigh, and smiled gratefully.

Although Dumbledore is temporarily missing, Professor Apocalis will share the pressure for her at critical moments like Dumbledore.

"What, what... alchemy deformation? I don't understand a little-"

At this moment, a middle-aged wizard with some baldness said in a confused voice, "Didn't you just take the time to discuss, transfiguration and alchemy are two..."

"Transformation, alchemy, alchemy deformation, deformation alchemy... these are actually four disciplines."

Professor McGonagall said quickly, tapping her wand on the blackboard.

"The first two are basic magic disciplines, and the latter are complex disciplines, or some ideas that have not been formally established."

"Alchemy deformation is based on the principles and techniques of alchemy. It studies the nature and behavior of the deformation system, and discovers and establishes a branch of the special laws of deformation."

"Similarly, deformation alchemy is the other way around. With the development of magic theory, I think the interpenetration between disciplines will become more and more common."

What Professor McGonagall didn't finish is that this concept is also derived from the hints of those Muggle scholars - in the non-magical world, the two seemingly distinct disciplines of chemistry and physics will not only meet and share in some basic fields, As they go up, they will also re-entangle, like two spiraling lines. Transfiguration and alchemy are the "physics" and "chemistry" of the magical world. Except for the different names and certain contents, their uses are essentially the same.

Wizards...the means to understand and interpret the truth of the world, nothing more, this is the biggest gain of Professor McGonagall these days.

Amelia Burns looked at the words that appeared on the blackboard, and suddenly remembered some proposals made by the ministry some time ago, and nodded lightly with all her thoughts.

"I can generally understand," she said softly, "in fact, the future of the wizarding world may be like this, with the integration and cooperation of various fields."

She turned around, looked at the wizards around her, and continued to explain with a flash of brilliance on the monocle.

"The Ministry of Magic is preparing to implement industrialized magic supplies, a standardized magical animal industry, and an assembly-line production of basic potions..."

"But what I don't understand is that I hear you're doing some Muggle teaching, so how does that relate to what you just said?"

"Muggle... teaching content?" Mr. Fields, the editor-in-chief of Transfiguration Today, frowned.

"Yes, I have evidence here that Ms. Minerva McGonagall is taking this opportunity to teach students Muggle knowledge in Transfiguration classes."

Umbridge, who was sitting in the middle row, suddenly stood up, took out a thick writing pad from his handbag, and shook it proudly.

"In an important class where the students were supposed to learn magic, she treated the poor little ones like Muggles."

"Look, scientific Transfiguration - tsk, tsk, that doesn't work at Hogwarts, does it?"

"Science, not technology, Ms. Umbridge."

Professor McGonagall replied calmly, giving her a pitying glance.

"Science is a way of thinking that systematically analyzes the world and finds laws."

"As for what I teach my students, yes...a considerable portion of it comes from the non-magical world."

"However, is there a possibility that we and Muggles actually live in the same world? Properties of objects, weight, basic laws of physics..."

"If you just listened carefully to me about the New Transfiguration, and understood it, you'll know that these are exactly what we lack."

Professor McGonagall had obviously prepared a lot of answers in advance, and before Umbridge had finished answering the two questions, she answered quickly like a cannonball.

Of course, Umbridge's side wasn't completely unprepared.

"Oh, skip that, is the source of Muggle knowledge you use in class reliable?"

Umbridge asked **** for tat, his pale, toady face staring in Professor McGonagall's direction.

As the "former" Senior Deputy Minister of Magic, Umbridge knew the rules and regulations all too well.

"How can you be sure that this content is suitable for wizards to learn, and not the stupid, one-sided, absurd conjectures of Muggles about the world?"

"The Muggle teaching materials I have quoted and verified to be true and reliable..."

"You verify? That might not work—"

Umbridge opened his mouth, revealing tiny teeth inside.

"Whether the theory of the non-magical world is reliable is not something you can directly decide."

"How about setting up a teaching and dissertation qualification review association?"

At this moment, Grindelwald who was sitting at the front suddenly said, and he glanced at the other wizards in the room.

"I very much agree with Ms. Umbridge that the citation of teaching content should not be sloppy, and we better form an academic alliance to identify the content."

"As for our early work, it's better to start with the non-magical documents submitted by Professor McGonagall - as long as they are true and reliable, not unsubstantiated, non-reproducible absurd content, then we believe that they have the value of citation and use, The goal of teaching in the classroom is a separate thing from that.”

"...Approved, the source of the content?" The editor-in-chief of "Today's Transfiguration" nodded lightly, "It's wonderful."

"The Division of Magical Law Enforcement can endorse this matter—"

Amelia Burns coughed lightly, "The final review results can be summarized here, and we will give them official citation qualifications."

"Then, Professor McGonagall, please sort out the non-magical knowledge you are involved in, as well as the source and specific content of the literature."

"We will organize a joint review of wizards from all walks of life as soon as possible to identify whether there are unreliable and absurd parts of the content."

"no problem."

Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Umbridge.

"Oh. You see, this little problem should be solved..."

"Is there anything else you want me to answer?"

"When, of course—"

Umbridge's face turned red and white~www.wuxiaspot.com~ quickly flipped the writing pad in his hand, his eyes moving above.

"Your theory has not been published in a formal setting, and it does not have the sanctioned influence of the magical society."

"I plan to release it on Transfiguration Today and Into Magic."

"There is no magic textbook on the market that conforms to the new theory, you—"

"The new textbook is being written, and I am the first author."

Professor McGonagall replied unhurriedly, his eyes becoming more and more strange.

Suddenly she didn't understand, Umbridge...wouldn't she be—actually—a helper on their side?

Almost all of the questions were based on what the girl Elena had made things difficult for her and asked her about.

In the ensuing time, Umbridge and McGonagall's questioning responses became more intense and fast.

Watched by a group of top wizards in the field of transfiguration and officials from the Ministry of Magic, the two of you asked and answered, which was very exciting.

"The Ministry of Magic may have unpredictable consequences for the old and new theories in the Ordinary Wizarding Ranking Examination and the Advanced Wizarding Ranking Examination."

"The new Transfiguration can perfectly achieve all the original teaching goals, the only problem is only the written test."

"That written test will make students—"

"Of course outdated theories should not appear on the test paper, and I suggest revising the written test paper."

"It's not up to you, Professor McGonagall."

"Well, but the educational institutions and academic review committees of the International Federation of Wizards should be qualified to complete this change."

"Then you won't be able to..."

"No problem, I will temporarily stop teaching activities, and Professor Black will receive the corresponding magic teaching."

"you……"
