Chapter 380: Unique "Transformation Class"
Chapter 380 Unique “Transformation Lesson”
After the dinner, all the students were left in the auditorium.
Professor Dumbledore came to explain some things, "The prefects will guard the entrance to the auditorium. The president of the Boys' and Girls' Unions will cooperate with Professor Sprout to manage the order of the auditorium. If there is any news, send a ghost to report to me immediately."
After saying that, he waved his magic wand, and the long dining table flew to the edge of the auditorium and automatically stood against the wall. With another wave, hundreds of soft sleeping bags appeared on the ground.
“You’re going to need this…”
Professor Dumbledore left the auditorium after finishing speaking.
But not everyone likes sleeping bags.
After obtaining Professor Sprout's permission, several senior students took out their magic wands and turned the sleeping bags into single beds of similar size, and the robes they took off were turned into thick wool blankets.
They had thought about it while eating just now. If they had to spend the night in the auditorium, they would definitely make themselves more comfortable.
Of course, it would be better if Professor Sprout would agree to make the bed bigger.
After this, more and more students began to try to transform their sleeping bags because they found it interesting.
Not only did Professor Sprout not object to this decision, but he also stopped Percy who was about to step forward to stop him.
After all, the location in the auditorium is quite sufficient. Making yourself more comfortable without affecting other people is the purpose of learning magic.
And it’s still early, so it’s better to give the students something to do than to have them discuss Sirius Black.
Professor Sprout walks among the rows of sleeping bags…
“Nice Transfiguration, Miss Johnson,” she said with a smile. “I bet the bed will be very comfortable.”
Gryffindor Chaser, Angelina Johnson, smoothed her hair proudly.
Unlike most hard beds, she also added a thick velvet mattress.
…
When Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall entered the auditorium again, they looked at the lively scene in front of them in surprise.
The auditorium became a huge Transfiguration classroom, and everyone was taking the same class.
"Minerva, it seems that everyone is enjoying themselves." Dumbledore said with a smile: "I thought I was in the wrong place just now."
Professor McGonagall also smiled, "Yes, Albus, you are right."
This was the first time she felt relaxed since she learned that Blake had appeared in the castle.
“Then let’s also provide some help.”
Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it lightly. The auditorium seemed to have suddenly become much larger. The originally crowded passage was now spacious enough for two people to walk side by side.
This also means they can make their bed bigger.
Professor McGonagall was not idle either. She turned the sleeping bags of all the first and second grade students into dormitory-style single beds.
As for students who have already learned secondary transformation, students in third grade and above... are not within the scope of her help.
Furthermore, these sleeping bags were conjured by Professor Dumbledore. The magic power can be said to be quite stable, almost indistinguishable from real sleeping bags.
So strictly speaking, this is not even a secondary transformation, it is just a simple sleeping bag turning into a single bed.
Third grade... If you can't do this, then just use a sleeping bag.
There are many such people, such as Harry and Ron from Gryffindor.
They struggled for a long time, only making their sleeping bag look uglier. Finally, Hermione couldn't stand it anymore and helped them.
Beside them, Neville had already gotten into his sleeping bag without any thought of doing anything extra. Kyle also transformed his sleeping bag. It’s not too fancy, just an ordinary single bed in a dormitory, the same as that of first- and second-year students.
Fred, George and Autumn also came.
“This feels really weird, as if we live in the same dormitory...” Fred lay there, looking up at the enchanted ceiling.
Although it was cloudy outside, he was in an unexpectedly good mood, "It's a pity that Cedric is not here..."
As a prefect, Cedric had to guard the entrance to the auditorium and was not with them.
“Thanks so much to Blake…”
George turned his head and said: "Without him, how could we have encountered such an interesting thing? To be honest, this is the first time I sleep on a bed I made... Will it suddenly turn into a sleeping bag again in the middle of the night? "
"Not if you get an E (Exceeds Expectations) in Transfiguration..." Kyle said.
"That's too bad..." Fred sighed, pretending to be embarrassed, "We got an O in Transfiguration, which obviously doesn't meet the requirements, right."
“Perhaps we can deliberately answer a few questions wrong on the next exam so that we can get an E.”
“Mom will definitely not be happy if she hears you say that.”
After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Kyle didn't bother to pay attention to them.
However, when George mentioned Blake, several people inevitably remembered the experience just now.
“Tell me, how did Blake get into the castle?” Connor asked.
This question is also what most people want to know.
Now Kyle can clearly hear several speculations being said around him.
“Apparition…”
“Flying in on a broomstick…”
“Transform yourself into a flowering bush…”
They said a lot, but basically none of them were reliable.
The castle has special magical protection that prohibits disembodiment. In addition, the dementors obviously cannot let a person riding a broomstick or a flowering bush slip into the castle.
"Is it possible that he came in through a secret passage?" At this time, Qiu suddenly said: "Aren't there many secret passages leading to the outside in the castle?"
“No way, absolutely impossible,” Fred said without hesitation.
George looked around, and after confirming that Professor Sprout and Percy were on the other side, he lowered his voice and said, "There are only two secret passages that can lead to the outside of the school.
“One of them is in the warehouse of Honeydukes Candy Shop. Black obviously can’t break into it. Remember, he doesn’t have a wand.”
“The other one is in the Shrieking Shack. Although no one is guarding it, the entrance is just under the whomping willow.”
Fred continued: "If Blake dares to walk from there, I'm afraid he will be crushed by the Whomping Willow as soon as he comes out."
“We didn’t hear anything wrong with the Whomping Willow tonight, did we…”
“Lights out now!” cried Percy. “I ask every one of you to stop talking!”
All the candles were immediately extinguished, and only a few silver ghosts gave out a little light, floating around and talking seriously to the prefects.
