Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

After the words fell, Dumbledore pointed his wand at the desk in front of him.

The original shape with distinct four corners instantly twisted and rolled, and it was frozen into a lifelike lion in the blink of an eye.

The little wizards in the classroom all exclaimed.

They are admiring how detailed the patterns on the lion statue are.

That's it?

Sifer raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Dumbledore.

He caught a smile in Dumbledore's eyes.

Could it be that?

The chest of the lion in front of him began to heave.

Sifa quickly blocked his ears with his hands.The second daughter beside him noticed Sifa's strange behavior.

They imitated Xifa by accident.

The moment the two girls plugged their ears.

It's like hitting a play switch.

The lion on the podium suddenly opened his eyes, and let out a deafening roar towards the audience.

Caught off guard, the little wizards all turned pale from the roar of the lion, and some even got up to hide.In the classroom, a riot was caused.

Seeing that Dumbledore was almost there, he hurriedly waved his wand.

Baring his teeth, the lion jumping up in the air turned into a little black and white badger that looked harmless to humans and animals.

The roar of the lion disappeared.

The little wizards also gradually understood.

The little wizard who left his seat returned to his seat with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Just when everyone was pointing at this little badger and their eyes were shining.

Suddenly, two pointed and long wings grew from the back of the little badger.

The little badger transformed into a raven, flapped its wings, and flew around the classroom.

Then, the raven fell into Dumbledore's hands.

Gathering its wings, it twisted and turned into a snake.

The snake crawled back to the ground in circles on Dumbledore's body.

When they came to the place where the desk was placed before, they formed a group.

After a twist, the desk appeared intact.

Dumbledore's wonderful performance convinced all the little wizards.

Everyone applauded involuntarily, and Gryffindor even shouted for their old senior.

Living things change shape and need to walk too much.

Shape deformation with the same material, material conversion, material conversion deformation, semi-biological deformation with the same material...

In short, the difficulty of Dumbledore's display is no less than that of the most advanced body deformation technique, Animagus.

While Dumbledore's spell was on, they were real creatures!

Dumbledore held out his hand and suppressed the applause.

Meet the eager eyes of the little wizard.

He said solemnly:

"Transfiguration is the most complex and demanding magic of all magic. In a sense, learning it is as dangerous as learning black magic!"

"Because there is a core problem in performing transfiguration. How to change the external structure of things without affecting its essence. This is the principle that generations of transfiguration masters abide by."

Without Dumbledore waving his wand, the thick curtains slowly fell, but the classroom was not completely dark.

Because the overhead chandelier also lights up the candles at the same time as the curtains fall.

In this dimly lit classroom, Dumbledore turned around and reached out to tap the blackboard behind him with his wand.

The blackboard lit up like the curtain of a multimedia projector in the previous life.

"As the first transfiguration class, what I want to teach you first is not magic, nor the three principles of transfiguration."

"I want to tell you, the most important quality in learning magic - caution! The most important attitude - humility! The most important behavior - do what you can!"

"Every time you cast a spell, you must ensure that it is controllable, and every spell must be carefully thought out by yourself, otherwise your spell may cause extremely terrifying consequences."

After the voice fell, the white 'curtain' showed hideous monsters.

Xifa's eyes widened slightly, let alone other little wizards.

Gasps and muffled screams came from behind him.

Without looking back, Sifa knew how scared they were.

"In the history of the development of Transfiguration, there are many wizards who have gone farther than ordinary people on the road of Transfiguration. The ancestors tried and summed up again and again, and only then have the basic principles in our Transfiguration textbooks."

"The records of those failures are mostly written off, and no one cares about these losers."

"But! I don't want you to be one of the losers, so I will first tell you the history that is not recorded in textbooks."

"Let you know the consequences of blind arrogance and impulsive magic!"

"Now, I will show you the failure records I have collected and sorted out. I have concluded that the main reason for their failure is that their magic experiments were not cautious enough!"

Afterwards, Dumbledore introduced various pictures and what happened to the wizards behind them one by one.

Sphinx, harpy, minotaur...

Dumbledore introduced in a calm and steady voice, only his flat voice echoed in the whole classroom.

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully, immersed in the story of the ancestors who sacrificed themselves for the truth of magic.

After this stage, Dumbledore did not open his mouth to break the silence, but asked everyone to reflect and summarize.

Suddenly, a hand was raised to break the peaceful scene.

Dumbledore found out, but after a while.

As soon as he waved his magic wand, the sunlight filled the classroom again, and the dull and oppressive atmosphere was swept away.

"Tom, do you have any questions?"

Tom put down his hand and got up slowly. He greeted Dumbledore slightly with an elegant manner, and said in a respectful tone:

"Professor, what is affecting the outside but not the essence? Why is Transfiguration not me letting it change, but it must change according to my will?"

Well, I also have such a confusion, good man Tom, help me detect mines.

Xifa sat where he was, feeling elated.

Dumbledore frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Tom is showing his ambition now?Didn't I teach him enough?

But Dumbledore couldn't refuse to answer in public, not to mention, many freshmen would encounter this question.

"This is a very debatable issue, and the development of Transfiguration is a spiral of confirmation and denial around this. I believe that Transfiguration is using your own heart, using your heart's love for everything, to feel them , echo them, so that your own needs can be transmitted to the object you want to transform. Use your magic to take your thoughts and reach their "core". Let it know what you want and how to do it, so as to complete out of shape."

"Among them, the most advanced type of transfiguration - human transfiguration Animagus, I am currently sorting out relevant materials. I can tell you that in order to complete this complex and great magic, love must be used as the anchor point, Guard your heart and resist the animal nature of the transformed animal when you transform for the first time, so that you will not become a wild beast that loses its mind."

Dumbledore's words are short of directly saying, Tom, you have to influence them with love and tolerate them, you can't think about ruling or oppressing...

However, Dumbledore's teachings to his "son" are destined to be a bull's-eye.

Tom snorted in his heart, still love?

"Thank you, sir."

Tom replied with a half-smile, which also attracted many little witches to watch him secretly.
