Hogwarts from another world

That night, Matthew Wakefield slept peacefully.

The black lake creatures swimming by from time to time outside the window, as well as the gentle sound of waves ringing in the ears at any time, are "accompanying".

I didn't have any weird dreams.

At six o'clock the next morning, Matthew walked out of the dormitory.

Before leaving, he fed the toad a few mealworms and locked the empty suitcase.

I have long heard that the stairs in Hogwarts are very complicated, and some stairs often change positions on their own, and some portraits and ghosts even deliberately give random directions to new students.

So Matthew woke up very early on purpose to avoid getting lost in the complicated corridors and to get familiar with the road conditions.

But it turned out that he was overly worried. These stairs are far less complicated than imagined, and there are detailed signs at each stairway. Each floor of the castle also has portraits dedicated to guiding first-year students.

Everything is arranged very meticulously.

Matthew felt relieved and came to the auditorium.

The Great Hall is the main gathering place of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Students often eat here, receive mail and packages delivered by owls, and attend special events hosted by the school.

Although it is still very early, there are already scattered students here having breakfast.

Matthew joins them.

In Britain, breakfast is always the most sumptuous, even at Hogwarts.

As the Muggle proverb goes: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

Although it's not as luxurious as yesterday's dinner, it's still rich enough.

Bacon, sausage, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, baked beans, potato wedges, croissant, Danish roll, fried bread, cereal, milk

There's even black pudding

Matthew took a little of everything except black pudding.

After feasting, the remaining food on the plate, as well as the plate itself, all disappeared.

But just as Matthew was leaving, he met an acquaintance at the entrance of the auditorium.

"Wakefield." Penelope Clivat stopped.

"Hello, Miss Crevat." Matthew smiled and nodded at her.

"I really didn't expect you to be sorted into Slytherin." Penello said, "I mean, very few Muggle-born students would be sorted there."

"I'm surprised by that too."

"Wish you a nice stay at Hogwarts"

"Thank you"

The two exchanged a few simple greetings.

When the two separated, Lestrange, who was in the same grade and the same college, happened to come over and passed by Matthew.

They didn't know each other very well, so they didn't say hello to each other.

The first class in the morning is the Transfiguration class.

Matthew came to the classroom half an hour early.

Transfiguration is taught in both houses of Slytherin and Hufflepuff. When he entered the classroom, he saw three or two Hufflepuff first-year students waiting here.

After finding a seat in the front row and sitting down, Matthew found something strange about this classroom.

All the windows were covered and sealed with black curtains; at the same time, it was broad daylight, but the classroom was brightly lit with more than a dozen candles, relying on them for illumination.

Matthew frowned, then took out his beginner's guide to transformation and the black walnut wand, and placed them on the desk.

The first-year students from the two colleges arrived quickly; with Professor Grindelwald's reminder yesterday, no one would be late for this first class.

Sitting next to Matthew was a tall, strong, stocky girl. He vaguely remembered that the Sorting Hat called her name, which seemed to be "Millicent."

Professor Trocca soon arrived.

Although he seemed to be in slightly better condition than last night.

But he was still pale and very haggard.

He picked up the roster and began to call names first

"Susan Bones Millicent Bursted Tracey Davis"

Professor Trocca's voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

After calling the names, he put down the roster in his hand and glanced at the whole class.

"To be honest, when Professor Grindelwald came to me and asked me to become the transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, I was not honored and very surprised." In his hoarse voice, he slowly said:

"I'm not sure whether I have the qualifications for this position. But now that I'm here at Hogwarts, I will do my best to share the knowledge I have with everyone."

Draco Malfoy, who was in the rear right, suddenly let out a snicker as if he and his followers Crabbe and Goyle were laughing at Professor Troca's decadent face and unseemly dress.

Professor Troca, as if he had not heard his voice, continued to explain: "Transfiguration is undoubtedly the most sophisticated of all magics, and it is also the most dangerous."

"In this course, I will teach you how to change the shape and appearance of certain objects, and even how to change their essence."

As he spoke, he waved his wand.

The podium in front of him began to gradually become smaller, and finally turned into a dexterous badger.

The badger ran around the classroom and even left a small paw print on Matthew's desk.

And when the badger scurried over to Draco Malfoy, Professor Troca waved his wand again

The badger's body began to slowly grow longer, and finally turned into a giant snake.

Draco Malfoy screamed in fear and hugged Crabbe tightly.

Their embarrassing performance caused everyone to burst into laughter.

The giant snake slowly crawled back to Professor Trocca, and finally changed back to the podium.

Under the podium, many students were instantly attracted and wanted to start learning right away.

"If you want to learn Transfiguration well, you must master two qualities." Professor Troca smiled and continued: "The first is decisiveness."

"Transfiguration is different from ordinary spells. It is the most rigorous and precise magic. Any hesitation or distraction will cause it to be incomplete; even any unnecessary swing or rotation of the wand will cause it to become incomplete." fail."

“Secondly, it’s caution.”

"Every deformation process is an extremely dangerous process. And any failure of deformation may lead to irreversible consequences, resulting in a disaster."

“Sixteen species of magical animals are known to have been born in connection with wizards’ failed transfiguration spells, including the infamous five-legged monster.”

"And all over the world, at least dozens of wizards die every year because of their failed transformation skills, or are left with lifelong disabilities."

"I suggest you keep these in your notebooks and in your hearts."
