Chapter 25: There Are Risks in Petting Cats, Be Careful when Petting Cats
Rolf had faced countless choices, but none of them were as difficult as this one.
Not to mention taming an older cat girl, just pick up a tabby cat and gently wake up its sleeping soul. Just thinking about it is a terrifying thing.
That's Professor McGonagall. How many courage does Rolf have to dare to touch the cat's head?
But... there are buts in everything, otherwise there wouldn't be so many troubles in the world.
Whether a person can do a difficult thing depends on the gains and costs. If the gains are far greater than the costs, the heart will be moved no matter how difficult the thing is.
So the question is... is the gain big?
Just stroke the cat's head, you can get Professor McGonagall's talent for transfiguration. Even if it's just for a month, the gains are rich enough.
Professor McGonagall is definitely one of the few existing masters of transfiguration in the magic world. Her talent in transfiguration is far from comparable to that of a small fry like Rolf.
Entering the field of genius, even if you just force a crack, try to squeeze in, and peek for a month, is a great gain.
To do it or not,
this is the question.
It doesn't involve life and death, but it involves whether he will be expelled.
Luo Fu retracted his thoughts. Of course, he would not be easily influenced by the system. He is a man with determination and will not go against his heart at will.
So... the boy slowly walked to the first row, taking firm and powerful steps!
Petting cats is what he wants in his heart now! !
Shirley turned her head and glanced at Luo Fu. She thought the boy wanted to sit next to her, so she packed her schoolbag and made room for him.
Unexpectedly, Luo Fu made a feint, walked to the tabby cat, hugged her in his arms, first knocked on her little head, forcibly awakened the sleeping Mag, and then strangled the back of the tabby cat's neck with one hand.
Petting cats requires skills. You can't be rude or reckless. Preparation and skills are very important.
As a person with rich experience in petting cats, Rolf's technique is quite sophisticated. He first rubs and caresses the sensitive part of the back of the neck, waits for the cat's body to become soft like liquid, and then slowly moves down, taking a step further...
Rolf's movements are as smooth as flowing water, and he does it in one go, like a top technician.
If you haven't tasted hundreds of cats, you won't be able to reach this level.
At this moment, Shirley's eyes are dull, her mouth is wide open, and she is shocked beyond words.
Last night, the head of Ravenclaw College reminded that the tabby cat in the Transfiguration class was transformed by Professor McGonagall, and not to do anything out of line.
For example, using a feather pen as a cat teaser to tease.
This is also the reason why Ravenclaw students dare not sit in the first row.
Who knew that Rolf was the real heavyweight, and he held the cat in his arms and sucked it hard.
The young eagles all raised their heads, watching the tabby cat open his eyes in panic, then looked at Rolf who was immersing himself in petting the cat, and finally stared at the older cat lady whose fur had exploded...
When McGonagall realized that she was being picked up, she was really going crazy. She had never encountered such a hug and kill in decades since she learned Animagus!
There was no tail wagging, no airplane ears, no "meow" threatening sound. The tabby cat did not follow the cat's ethics, just jumped up and slapped Rolf on the cheek with one claw.
Hard!
Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall did not have nails, and the crazy scratching only caused some physical damage, and even Rolf's nails (skin) were not scratched.
This kind of attack can only make cat petters more excited.
Professor McGonagall also wanted to use the skills of the meows, a series of head slaps and fierce hind kicks, to let Rolf know what it means to pet cats with risks and be cautious when petting cats.
But Rolf had already sensed the danger in advance and immediately let go of the tabby cat.
The whole cat fell down, she stepped on the table with her toes, rushed forward with her waist, rolled forward in the air, and landed gently.
The moment she landed, she had turned into a serious woman, wearing a pair of square glasses, which looked exactly like the lines around the cat's eyes.
She was wearing a black cloak, her black hair was in a tight bun, her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked very angry.
Professor McGonagall could no longer control her anger!
Who knew that Rolf's reaction was even more intense. He seemed to be frightened, sitting on the chair, covering his chest, as if he was about to have a heart attack.
"Ah, Professor McGonagall? You... I... cat..." Rolf's arms trembled and twitched uncontrollably.
"..."
Shirley looked at Rolf in confusion. She remembered the scene of the boy stroking a spider with his bare hands on the train, pinching a mouse with one hand, and teaching the Malfoy trio a lesson. It seems that he is not so fragile, right?
Shirley frowned slightly, and soon realized that Rolf was acting. She wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that Professor McGonagall would notice, so she had to pretend to help him pour water.
The girl was really trying hard to hold back, her eyebrows and eyes were curved like willow branches, and she looked very beautiful.
"Rolf! Are you okay?!"
Neville's acting was much more realistic, or he really thought that Rolf was sick, and his voice was trembling, and he was afraid that this friend he just met would die.
Professor McGonagall was still very angry, but in Neville's crying, he was also panicked instantly.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor died, and he died every year anyway. He was a disposable magic consumable, but students couldn't get into trouble!
"Mr. Scamander, are you okay?! Hurry, hurry to the school hospital!!"
Rolf waved his hand "hard", took out a small sugar bean from his pocket, drank it with Shirley's tea, and recovered after a while.
"It's an old problem, it's not a problem, it will pass if you hold on... cough cough."
"..."
Rolf stood up, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and apologized: "Professor McGonagall, I really didn't know that cat was you!"
It's like this, what else can Professor McGonagall say? Not only can she not get angry, but she has to comfort him in a soft voice:
"It's okay, Mr. Scamander, it's all my fault, I scared you! Are you really okay? Don't need to go to the school hospital? Well, since you insist... Hurry up and find a seat to sit down, class is about to start."
Rolf sat down next to Shirley, and the ponytail girl gave him a look of "I found it". Rolf raised his eyebrows and responded to her with an innocent expression of "Don't wrongly accuse an honest person".
The ponytail girl imitated Hermione and rolled her eyes.
Neville didn't want to sit in the first row, especially under the eyes of Professor McGonagall. This is also the area of stupid students that he can get involved in?
But seeing that Rolf and Shirley were sitting here, he had to bite the bullet and sit down.
After the farce, Professor McGonagall regained her cold aura and reminded students before class not to be naughty in class, otherwise they would be kicked out.
The little wizards all looked at Rolf, obviously thinking of him as the student most likely to be kicked out.
This made Rolf very sad. Being misunderstood is never a happy thing.
Of course, seeing the system prompt that the task was completed, Rolf's mood instantly improved.
A little trick to expel people every day, life is endless.
As long as the reward is tempting enough, let alone stroking Professor McGonagall's cat head... even Quirrell's back of the head, Snape's big oil head... he dared to try!
"Okay, let's start the class." Professor McGonagall looked around and asked:
"So who can tell me what are the three necessary conditions for successfully transforming an object?"
Almost no Hufflepuff students raised their hands. They partyed until late last night and almost arrived late in the morning. Unlike Ravenclaw students, they all previewed the textbooks in advance and raised their arms.
"Lisa Dupin!" Professor McGonagall pointed at a Ravenclaw girl.
"I AM!" Lisa Dupin said: "Imagination, Abracadabra, Motion."
"Correct, two points for Ravenclaw." McGonagall said:
"Imagination is very important when transforming objects. We must imagine the transformed shape in our minds in advance."
"Beginners should recite the spell clearly. If there is an error or pause, the entire transformation process will fail."
"Accurate movements are equally important. Do not swing or turn the wand when it is not necessary, otherwise the transformation will definitely fail..."
All students took out their quills and began to take notes.
