Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 53 Unscientific

   "This way, this way!" Lee Jordan waved to the twins who had just entered the hall, "You are finally willing to show up."

   "Why are you all here!" George sat next to Lee Jordan and greeted the others.

   "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Lee Jordan couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the two and said, "Dinner time, you said we don't have dinner here, where else can we go?"

   "That's right, please pass over the jam, thank you." Fred spread a lot of jam on the bread slice, took a big bite and asked, "What did you teach in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning?"

   "Half a lesson about dark creatures, the rest of the time is for us to practice how to emit red and green sparks." It was not Li Qiaodan who answered him, but Angelina who was sitting opposite them. The future Quidditch captain was scrutinizing the twin brothers, "I heard that you deducted 30 points from Gryffindor this morning, and deducted all the points Albert got during this time."

  Fred stuck a fork in the skin of a potato and muttered under his breath, "We only deducted twenty points."

   "Ten points deducted from History of Magic." Albert looked up at the twins and asked, "Where did you go this afternoon?"

   "Secret!" Fred and George looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.

   "Oh, yes, there is one more thing." Lee Jordan seemed to remember something, and said to the Weasley brothers, "Filch asked me to tell you that your confinement will be tomorrow night, and the location is the prize showroom."

"It seems that you don't need to wash the chamber pot, this time you can wipe the trophies instead." After the meal, Albert took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth and said suddenly, "By the way, I met that William not long ago, he Looks like you just finished cleaning the chamber pot in the school hospital."

   "Please don't talk about these things during the meal time." Shanna glanced at Albert sullenly, and complained, "It will affect everyone's appetite."

   "I remember that there is an astronomy class in the evening." Aliya changed the subject with difficulty, "Which of you has been to the Astronomy Tower."

   "Don't look at me, I haven't been there." Li Qiaodan shook his head first and said, "By the way, what time does the evening astronomy class start?"

   "Start at 9.30." Albert glanced at the schedule and said.

   "It's so late?" Angelina took out her schedule from her backpack and glanced at it, and it really was this time.

   You know, Hogwarts has a curfew at 11 o'clock.

   "Don't worry, we went to the top of the Astronomy Tower at noon."

   "That's really great!" Albert nodded towards the twins and said, "You will be responsible for leading everyone later, and don't forget to bring your binoculars. By the way, the notes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magic."

   As he spoke, Albert took out two books from his schoolbag and put them on the table.

   "Let me go first!" Li Qiaodan stretched out his hand to the book.

   "We can copy one subject each, and take turns copying later." The twins moved faster than Li Qiaodan.

  Compared to borrowing notes from other people, Albert's history of magic notes are obviously more reliable.

"you…"

   "Ahem, how are you mastering the luminous spell? There seems to be a transformation class and a spell class tomorrow." Aliya swept the unscrupulous twins and continued, "My matches haven't changed much yet."

"Shanna, how are your two spells doing? By the way, I almost forgot the two spells in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." During this period of time, I didn't put too much time and energy into practicing magic.

   "I only mastered the luminous spell." Shanna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing everyone's situation. She has been practicing the luminous spell these days, and she barely mastered it.

   "Don't worry." Albert comforted, "Both Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will leave time for us in class. Of course, you can practice on weekends."

   "It's enviable that Albert doesn't need to worry about homework." Fred said exaggeratedly.

  Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "I'm envious, you just have to practice hard."

   "What about you?" George asked the roommate next to him.

   "Well, I have almost mastered the Luminous Curse. However, Transfiguration is really difficult." Li Qiaodan thought about the difficulty of Transfiguration, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

   "Li, when did you master the Luminous Curse?" Fred and George looked at their roommates in surprise.

   It was agreed that everyone is at the same level? Why did you sneak away by yourself.

   "Last night... I have been practicing the luminous spell, too." Li Qiaodan said angrily.

   "Sure enough, Transfiguration is more difficult?" Aliya looked up at Albert. Others also looked at Albert.

   Albert was speechless for a while: What do you see me doing?

   "Let you teach everyone." Fred put his arms around Albert's neck and said, "Is there any trick?"

   "There is no trick, it just needs to be practiced by everyone." Albert said helplessly: "Professor McGonagall has also mentioned the points that need attention."

   It’s nothing more than practicing, remembering that you need to concentrate when transforming, you have to be agile when you wave your wand, and you have to speak the spell correctly.

   Of course, learning Transfiguration requires effort.

  Actually, there are some things that Albert didn’t say: unless you have panels like me.

  At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the auditorium again, preparing to practice spells together.

   However, everyone found that they had no matches. In the end, George broke a twig from the outside to serve as a match.

   "Ahem, you can actually turn branches into matches." Arya reminded.

   "That's a good idea." Others echoed.

   "Vera Verto." Albert twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed lightly, picked up his wand and tapped it on the twig, immediately turning it into a match.

   "Copy in double!"

   Albert copied a few more matches and distributed them to others for practice.

  Professor McGonagall said that transfiguration is a difficult subject, which is true. No one succeeded in changing the match until he was going to take astronomy class.

   "This is unscientific, why is it so difficult!" Shanna couldn't help complaining.

   "Of course it's unscientific, after all, it's magic!" Albert wanted to complain, but finally held back.

When a girl passed by, she happened to hear a few people complaining, so she stayed by Albert's side for a while, and said to everyone: "Transfiguration itself is very difficult. If you don't spend a few days practicing hard, if you want to do it in one fell swoop It's hard to be successful, especially for a freshman who is new to magic."

   "Good evening, Katrina."

  Katrina just nodded to Albert and walked away.

   "I hope we don't have astronomy class with Ravenclaw." Angelina muttered, she didn't like that guy very much.

"Some people in Ravenclaw have weird tempers, and our astronomy class is with Hufflepuff students." Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, looked up and said to everyone: "Okay , we should go, be careful not to be late."
