My name is Snape at Hogwarts

Chapter 36 Casting spells without a staff?

After explaining the basic rules of Gamp's transformation, Mag took out a box of matches, tapped the wand lightly, and the matches suddenly flew out and landed accurately on the desktop of each student.This hand made Snape's eyelids twitch again.

Amazing control!Snape was speechless secretly, he could control the matches to each student's desk, he could do it himself, but he definitely couldn't do it so accurately, and he couldn't do it so lightly.

The more you know about magic, the more you can see how amazing Mag's move is.

"Now, each of you has a match on your desk, and I need you to turn it into a needle." McGonagall said loudly, "By the way, I remind you that unwavering determination can help you! "

"Practice in pairs, you can start!"

Following Mag's order, the students were quickly divided into groups.

Lily originally wanted to be with Snape, but when she saw Pandora beside her, she hesitated.

"You two are fine!" Snape saw the little girl's embarrassment, and reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget, I have already learned this!"

Lily was stunned, and then her face turned red. Of course, she knew that Snape had mastered part of the transfiguration technique, because the first time he showed it in front of her, he turned a branch into a bright rose, and gave it to her.

Lily originally liked lilies and jasmines more, but since that time, her favorite flower has become roses.

"Okay, let's practice together, Pandora?" Lily looked at her friend, "What do you think?"

Pandora glanced at Snape, then nodded.

Seeing that the two little girls had already got together, Snape smiled slightly, and then he began to meditate.

What he was thinking of was nothing but something about Transfiguration.

Transfiguration was one of the first magics that Snape learned. Ever since he learned it, he has always had a doubt, that is, what are the gestures and incantations of Transfiguration!

As we all know, the casting of magic is inseparable from three elements, namely gestures, spells, and determination.Although it is written in the book that the gesture of transfiguration is a finger of the wand, he has secretly tried it, even if it is a pick, he can successfully cast transfiguration, and so far, he has not used spells, even In the book there is written about the spell "Transformation".

Could it be that Transfiguration is not a curse in essence?Snape guessed that if it wasn't for the spell, then it seemed to make sense without the need for fixed gestures and incantations.

So, if there are no fixed gestures and spells, can the wand be discarded?Thinking of this, Snape himself was taken aback by his conjecture, and then his heart started to beat. Although in the original book, Snape could cast spells without a staff, he couldn't. If his conjecture is successful, then this transfiguration is the first magic that he can master without a wand!

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't wait any longer, regardless of whether anyone noticed this, he wanted to try his own conjecture.

However, he soon froze.I have always used a magic wand to cast spells before, but suddenly there is no such thing, I don't know how to do it!

By the way, goblins and house-elves cast spells with their fingers, or how about using them?

Think of it and do it!Snape made up his mind, put away his wand, stretched out his index finger, looked at the matches on the table, thought about the requirements of Transfiguration, and firmly pointed his index finger on it.

Suddenly, a warm current surged over the fingertip of the index finger, and then, the light flashed in front of my eyes, the match disappeared, and a silver needle lay quietly on the table.

It worked!Snape was overjoyed, sure enough, casting spells with fingers is feasible!

If you use a wand, you can do it even at a certain distance, so is it the same with your fingers?

Snape guessed, put the match back casually, then moved his finger a little away, and cast the spell again, the warm current on the fingertips flashed again, and the match turned into a needle again.

Sure enough!Snape nodded happily, and under his joy, started another attempt.

Fingers are fine, palms are fine, arms are fine... After trying different parts, Snape had a bold idea. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and took his hand back. Staring at the matches on the table.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of heat in his eyes, and then, the match in front of him transformed again, but this time the transformation was not as fast as before, but much slower, even so, it made him very happy .

Sure enough, it is possible even without hands, but why is the deformation so much slower this time?Snape wondered, could it be because of insufficient magic power?Or are eyes not as good as hands?

"It's because your determination is not as firm as before!" Mag's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Er—professor!" Snape was taken aback, cursed himself for not paying attention to his surroundings, and looked at McGonagall standing beside him with some embarrassment.

"If I remember correctly, I should have said that no one is allowed to mess around in my class, Mr. Snape!" McGonagall looked at Snape with a straight face.

"Yes, Professor!" Snape nodded without changing his face.

"Ha, if you dare to make trouble, the professor should kick you out, you snot-nosed man!" A harsh voice sounded from behind.

Without looking, Snape knew that it was Sirius who was provoking him, but he didn't want to argue with him now, the most important thing at the moment was how to get through the current hurdle.

To his surprise, he didn't want to care about it, but someone did. The person who cares about it is Mag in front of him.

"I don't seem to have said that you are allowed to yell freely in my class!" McGonagall snorted harshly, "Five points deducted from Gryffindor, you need to watch your mouth, Mr. Black, don't let people shout because of you!" Think Gryffindors are uneducated!"

Sirius' face turned pale, and just as he was about to say something, James beside him hurriedly pulled him back, signaling him not to mess with his own dean who was in a rage, so Sirius had no choice but to take back the words that came to his lips.

"You didn't respect my discipline, Mr. Snape!" After dealing with Sirius, McGonagall's eyes fell on Snape's face again, "So, do you have any explanation?"

"No, Professor!" Snape shook his head and said sincerely, "I should try at a different time and place, I'm sorry, but can you please guide me after deducting points? "

"Mr. Snape!" McGonagall looked at Snape with a stern face for a while, and then suddenly smiled, "Actually, I want to say that your transformation is very good, really, without a doubt, Ravenclaw Twenty points!"

"So, can you share with me how you did it?"
