Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 57 Your chair is good

   "Sixth floor, classroom 21?"

   Albert took the parchment that Professor McGonagall had given him, and wandered around in the corridor on the sixth floor of the castle, looking for classroom No. 21 used by the Transfiguration Club.

  Currently, he has searched almost all the corridors on the sixth floor of Hogwarts Castle, but he couldn't find Room 21.

   No, it should be said that there is no classroom 21 at all. For this reason, Albert also asked about the portrait on the sixth floor, but he still hadn't heard of this classroom.

  Have you been tricked?

   Obviously unlikely.

   After all, Professor McGonagall would not do such boring things. Then there is only one possibility, the last sentence of the parchment: keep in mind Gump's basic law of deformation.

  Classroom No. 21 is hidden in a secret place on the sixth floor. Keeping in mind Gump's basic transformation rules is the trick to finding the entrance.

  However, Albert walked around, but still did not find a single painting, stone carving, or tapestry related to Gump's basic law of deformation.

   If there is anything to do with it, it is the portrait in front of him.

   It is impossible for a wizard to conjure delicious food out of thin air...but the wizard in the painting did it...

   Albert moved the portrait, but there was still no secret passage behind the portrait.

  Now, he can only wait until Professor McGonagall gets someone to pick him up, or... give up joining the Transfiguration Club, he thinks the former has a better chance.

"Is it you, the new member that Professor McGonagall mentioned?" A few minutes later, a red-haired girl walked towards this side, looked Albert up and down, and said the expected words: "McGonagall The professor thought you might get lost, so let me pick you up!"

   "I couldn't find classroom No. 21, and I didn't see anything related to remembering Gump's basic deformation laws." Albert shrugged helplessly.

   "Didn't you already find it?" The red-haired girl pointed to the portrait behind Albert, "...magic can't conjure delicious food out of thin air."

"I thought it was food summoned by magic." Albert said, looking at the witch who was using a wand to conjure a table of magic on the table. In fact, he thought so before, and the key was the food in classroom 21. where is the entrance

   "You're right." The red-haired girl turned to the witch and said, "We need to enter classroom 21."

  The witch nodded towards them, and the painting suddenly moved aside, revealing a half-person-high hole in the wall behind the portrait.

   "Go in!" said the red-haired girl, "You need to tell the witch to enter classroom 21, and she will open the door for you."

"It's a bit like the fat lady. I don't care if you don't need all kinds of passwords." Albert thought in his heart, he walked through the hole, and there was an upward staircase inside. After walking for a while, he came to a wooden door, and the door was closed. There is a brass sign that says Room 21.

  However, when he went in, he found that he had come to a classroom. No, it didn't look like a classroom at all, but more like... an office.

   Albert looked at the classroom, which contained 12 sofas of various styles.

   "It is said that this used to be a certain professor's office. After it was vacant, it was used by McGonagall classroom as the activity place for the Transfiguration Club." The red-haired girl who walked into the classroom behind him explained casually.

   In other words, Albert always felt that this person had seen the one behind him somewhere.

   "The original club only had ten members?"

   "Eleventh, there is no seat for you here. You need to create a chair yourself. This is the club's rule." The red-haired girl said with a smile.

   "That's not bad." Albert muttered, took out the parchment that McGonagall gave him from his pocket, took out his wand and tapped it, "VeraVerto."

The parchment began to get bigger, and then an ordinary wooden chair appeared in front of Albert. He put the chair on the ground, thought for a while, took out a candy from his pocket, ate it and put the candy paper on the chair On, the second deformation is carried out.

  The candy paper turned into a cushion, and Albert reached out and pressed it, and he was quite satisfied.

   "I finally understand a little bit now. Professor McGonagall will invite you to join the club." The red-haired girl said to Albert: "I am Isobel McDougal"

   "Albert Anderson." Albert also introduced himself, he thought for a while and asked, "May I ask, Katrina McDougal is..."

   "My sister, she is in the same class as you." Isobel said.

   "No wonder I think you guys are... alike."

"Good evening, Isobel." A senior boy walked into the classroom and looked at Albert and his wooden chair curiously, "Hello, I heard that the club has added a newcomer, is it you? By the way, your chair is nice!"

"Thanks."

"I dare say you were definitely not as good as him in the first grade!" Another lazy voice sounded, and the members of the Transfiguration Club gradually came together. The first thing they came in was to be surprised by Albert's age , then looked at Albert's chair, and said that your chair is not bad.

   "Sit here!" A senior girl greeted Albert: "You are from Gryffindor, right? I am also from Gryffindor. The two guys next to me are also involved."

  Both of them showed a smile at Albert, and even specially vacated a seat for him. Albert picked up the chair and sat in the vacant seat. Just as he was about to chat with them, Professor McGonagall came in. The first thing Professor McGonagall did when he came in was to look at Albert's chair , also said that your chair is not bad.

   Could this be an acknowledgment of his Transfiguration?

"Our topic today is the paper for the Most Promising Newcomer Award in "Transfiguration Today." Professor McGonagall handed a copy of "Transfiguration Today" to Albert, "I suggest you spend some Galleons to order this book Magazine."

"I will."

   "Professor McGonagall occasionally helps revise the manuscript of "Transfiguration Today." The senior girl beside Albert said in a low voice.

   "First of all, we would like to congratulate Mr. Selwyn on winning the "Transfiguration Today" Most Promising Newcomer Award." Professor McGonagall raised his hands and applauded after finishing speaking.

  Everyone stood up and applauded the thin boys on the chairs two tables away from Isobel.

  Secondly, we have welcomed a new member, Mr. Albert Anderson. As you can see, Mr. Anderson's talent is really amazing, so I made an exception and let him join the club ahead of schedule.

   Applause rang out again, and the voice from one direction was very small. No need to guess, it was probably a student of Slytherin. After all, Albert also knew that Gryffindor and Slytherin did not like each other.

   "Okay, open the magazine, our topic is Animagus..."

  Albert was speechless, because he suddenly found that he could barely understand the content.
