Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Being insinuated by her, Hoffa's face was not very good-looking. He picked up his wand and tapped the small wooden block in front of him lightly. He was thinking of a wooden sword.
The magic power flowed from the wand, and Hoffa used his mind to control the magic power and infused it into the wood. Suddenly, he had a magical feeling, it felt like grabbing a piece of plasticine out of thin air.
Under the effect of magic power, the wood seemed to have extremely strong plasticity.
Is that so, purpose and structure?
Hoffa knew it, and he closed his eyes directly. Thinking about a sharp blade with a cold light in his mind.
The wood began to elongate, elongate, and flatten again under Hoffa's mental control.
During the change, Hoffa frowned.
No, the details are not enough, but the blade is not yet called a sword.
So he began to think carefully about the shape of the hilt and the shape of the gauntlet.
Above the table, the small wooden sword became more and more decent. At first, it was just a rough embryo, and slowly, the patterns on the hilt were slowly carved out.
Miranda sighed in admiration, while Aglaia muttered disdainfully, "There is still something..."
After finishing the carving, Hoffa opened his eyes and looked at the small sword in front of him, without much joy on his face.
Miranda exclaimed: "It's really yours, you did it!"
Hoffa shook his head and closed his eyes again, he always felt that something was wrong.
You know, he still wants to transform into an Animagus, just turning the wood into a wooden sword is not enough!
Think about it, what is the difference between this and a rubber sword made out of plasticine. The essence of a wooden sword is still wood, without any change. There's nothing magical about it, nothing miraculous about it.
Essence, change, goal.
The key words Dumbledore said were spinning in Hoffa's head.
No, the sword should be made of iron, the goal of the sword should be to kill, and the wooden sword can only be used as a toy.
So Hoffa concentrated his mind and completely immersed his mind in the current wooden sword, trying to perceive more details.
But no, his spirit could feel every fiber of the wood, but he still couldn't feel the essence of the wood. Let alone change.
Not energetic enough?
Hoffa frowned, suddenly, he thought of Milarepa's meditation method. Meditation can lift your spirits.
Hoffa opened his eyes and looked around. People around him were struggling to deform the wood. Nobody cares about themselves in the corner.
He cleared his mind, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.
At this moment, under the effect of meditation, his spirit is multiplied and multiplied. If he wants, he can perceive the whole picture of the classroom without eyes.
But Hoffa didn't, all his energy was immersed in the wooden sword. To explore the essence of wood.
The powerful spirit is like a spider web, penetrating into the wooden sword thread by thread, the spirit penetrates the fibers with magic power, passes through the cells, passes through the nucleus, and reaches the essence of organic matter.
There seemed to be a loud bang resounding through his head.
The black and white world suddenly became colorful, and he seemed to have come to another dimension. Countless tiny particles rotated and changed around him, and endless colors remixed and scattered in front of him.
The magic power led Hoffa to gallop in a completely unknown world. A new world belonging to Transfiguration opened up in front of Hoffa, and he felt joy. He felt the power to control almost everything!
That's right, that's it!
...
In the real world, the wooden sword in front of Hoffa suddenly exploded into dust and completely dissipated in the air.
Miranda on the side looked a little dignified.
Aglaia showed a smug smile. She thought to herself, this idiot just lost the sword!
In the classroom, Dumbledore, who was correcting students' mistakes at the podium, suddenly turned his head and looked towards the corner.
A strong spiritual force suddenly appeared in the classroom!
Tom Riddle on the other side of the classroom frowned, he felt something.
Dumbledore put down what he was doing and walked quickly to the corner. All eyes followed him.
Coming to the corner, Dumbledore saw Hoffa with his eyes closed.
The next second, Hoffa raised his wand.
In the air, traces of crystal-clear metal light appeared.
In everyone's shocked eyes.
The rapid arrangement and combination of the metal rays formed the blade, gauntlet, and hilt.
Dumbledore's blue eyes widened suddenly.
The gleaming blade indicated that it was entirely a metal sword, not a wooden one.
Miranda opened her mouth in disbelief.
Aglaia's face was pale, and she pressed the table suddenly and stood up.
All the students around turned their heads and watched this miraculous scene happen.
They didn't know what was going on, they just saw a metal sword appear out of thin air.
But Dumbledore knew that the boy in front of him had actually changed the nature of things!
After the transformation was completed, Hoffa opened his eyes pale, filled with joy, and grabbed the sharp little sword in front of him.
He did it! He uses Transfiguration to change the nature of things, that's magic!
Dumbledore clapped his hands sincerely, and soon, the surrounding students followed Dumbledore's clapping. They don't know why, but it just feels powerful.
Tom Marvolo stood up, looked at the Ravenclaw table with a frown, and muttered in disbelief: "Hoffa...!?"
Hoffa, who was silent in the joy of the completion of the transformation, was taken aback by the applause. He looked up, and at some point he was surrounded by people. They all applauded loudly.
What's going on, isn't this a basic operation?
Dumbledore pulled Hoffa up involuntarily, looking at him like looking at a rare treasure. Then, he took the small sword that Hoffa had conjured up, held it up high, and said in an admiring tone:
"Overfulfill the task, overfulfill the task, Hoffa! Look! I've never seen a first-year student who can do this. It's amazing. The last person who can change like this is Nick Le May Ravenclaw plus 50 points."
He was so happy that he didn't even bother to look carefully at other people's works.
This pissed off Aglaia so much that she walked out in a huff as soon as get out of class was over, throwing her carved wooden tree in the trash.
After class, Hoffa also wanted to leave the classroom, but Dumbledore stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Hoffa."
Hoffa stood still as the crowd passed him, and Ravenclaws patted him on the shoulder excitedly. Spoken words of encouragement to him, but Hoffa saw Tom Riddle pass him sullenly, and as he passed he heard faint whispers.
"Really good, Hoffa."
After the classroom was empty, Dumbledore pointed to the table in front of him, and Hoffa sat down puzzled.
Dumbledore looked at the earrings on Hoffa's ears and smiled, "It seems that you get along well with the goblins."
Thinking of Indo, Hoffa could only scratch his head, "It's okay, but I can't take it off."
"Why did you take it down? It was a gift from a friend."
Speaking of which, Dumbledore also pulled a stool and sat down. He crossed his fingers and his expression became a little serious.
"You know what you did just now is dangerous?"
Hoffa thumped in his heart, a little confused.
Dumbledore handed the sword back to Hoffa, and said seriously, "Can you change the sword back?"
Hoffa stared at the wooden sword for a while, and suddenly his face turned pale. He knew why Dumbledore wanted to keep him. He understands the structure of metal atoms, but not the structure of trees, and he can't change back at all.
Dumbledore crossed his arms and said softly, "Be cautious, Hoffa, be cautious. I've seen too many talented shapeshifters who are not cautious enough.
You have very powerful spiritual gifts, but you have to remember that changing the structure of things, not the nature of things, can easily get lost in the ecstasy and urge of change.
In my opinion, you have just completed an irreversible change, if the object of your change is not a piece of wood, but yourself. You are completely lost. "
Hoffa looked into Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Dumbledore straightened up and tapped the metal sword with his wand.
The metal sword slowly transformed back into a small wooden block.
"Remember, a true shapeshifter must not only turn stones into gold, but also turn gold into stones."
Dumbledore's words scared Hoffa for a long time, so that when he walked out of the classroom, there was still some cold sweat on his back.
Indeed, the moment he completed his transformation, he was almost overwhelmed with joy. At that moment, he even felt that his transformation into an Animagus was close at hand.
But now it seems that his road to transformation is still very, very long.
The other students didn't know Dumbledore's warning to Hoffa, and they were all talking about Ravenclaw having a student who was good at transfiguration. The students of Ravenclaw regard Hoffa as a hero. Although Professor Goshak deducted 70 points from them, Dumbledore added 50 points. Once they come and go, the points are almost offset.
But unlike other students, Aglea's attitude towards Hoffa became increasingly unfriendly.
At any time, she only gave Hoffa a bad face.
When they had herbal medicine class on Tuesday, she deliberately replaced the fungus under Hoffa's care with a pot of piranhas, hoping to see him make a fool of himself. Fortunately, Hufflepuff's headmaster, Herblaw Billy, reminded in time, Otherwise, his nose might be ripped off by that terrible plant.
In astronomy class on Wednesday, she again taunted Hoffa in public for confusing Ganymede with Europa.
Hoffa felt that the little girl might have never suffered a disadvantage since she was a child, and she suddenly encountered a blow. So hold a grudge against herself, but the more she is like this, the more Hoffa ignores her. As if she was a clown.
He attends classes in the morning and spends his evenings meditating in the breeze of the common room.
If he had some free time, he would go to the library and look for methods about the disillusionment spell.
But it is a pity that the areas where the lower grade students can browse in the library are quite limited, and there are only some basic theory books in those places. There is no specific spell book at all.
You can't explore Hogwarts as much as you can without finding a way to become invisible.
But Hoffa is not in a hurry, anyway, there is plenty of time. If it hadn't been for Aglaia's threatening him, he simply felt that life at Hogwarts should not be too perfect.
The lull continued into Thursday.
There is a flying lesson on Thursday.
