Chapter 2977 ~(＾◇^)/The most talented student
afternoon.
In Principal Dumbledore's office, when a bad old man put on his cashmere nightgown and hat and prepared to take a pleasant nap, Professor McGonagall hurriedly knocked on the door again and barged in.
"oh--"
"What happened again?"
"Minerva, don't tell me what happened again..."
"I was just about to take a nap..."
While asking, Dumbledore had no choice but to pick up his reading glasses and looked helplessly at Minerva McGonagall, who was walking towards her like a gust of wind.
"rest assured!"
"Nothing happened..."
Shaking her head, McGonagall walked to Dumbledore and placed four embroidery needles on the table. Then she continued in a deep voice under Dumbledore's doubtful gaze:
"Today I have my first Transfiguration class, Albus, take a look first!"
"You also served as a professor of Transfiguration before, right?"
"Look at these four embroidery needles. If you were the professor of Transfiguration, how would you judge them?"
With that said, McGonagall took a step back without explaining. She just let the light become more abundant and then motioned for Dumbledore to take a quick look.
"oh?"
"Transformation class?"
"Needle?"
He looked at McGonagall in surprise, seeing the seriousness on her face, and then looked at the four needles on the table. He didn't understand why the other party came to him with such a trivial matter. Dumbledore thought for a while, and then reluctantly reached out to take it.
He picked up four needles and looked at them carefully with his cloudy eyes wearing reading glasses.
A few minutes later…
"Well..."
"This one is very good. I successfully transformed in the first class. I am very talented in the art of transformation!"
"Although he is a little worse than I was back then, he is still a talented student."
"The least I can give is a B+"
Putting down the silver needle transformed by Hermione, Dumbledore nodded, expressing his approval.
“This one is pretty good too!”
"I also successfully made a thread hole. It is a qualified embroidery needle. If it were the final exam, I would give it an A directly."
"But since this is just the first class, I suggest you give him an A+ and at the same time, how many more points can he give to his academy?"
After saying that, seeing that Professor McGonagall was still calm, Dumbledore thought for a moment and then picked up the last two almost identical golden embroidery needles again. It was obvious from the look that they were made by the same person.
"Oooh!"
“Absolutely perfect!”
"Minerva, your skills have improved again..."
"Not bad! Not bad!"
"Such a needle, such a pattern, such a material, I have mastered the magic power to such an extent that I'm afraid I won't be able to change it!"
"No……"
"In fact, in the entire wizarding world, there are not many people who can become successful?"
Dumbledore looked at the last two needles and did not dare to judge. He just put them down with admiration and did not hesitate to praise Professor McGonagall.
Yes, in his opinion, those two golden needles must be the work of Professor McGonagall. Looking at the entire Hogwarts, there is absolutely no second person, whether a student or a professor, who can do it!
"..."
However, when faced with the principal's praise, there was no surprise. Professor McGonagall shook her head expressionlessly.
"how?"
"Is something wrong?"
Looking at McGonagall, and then at the four needles in front of him, Dumbledore suddenly had some thoughts in his mind, thinking that they might be related to Professor McGonagall coming here today, but he quickly rejected it himself.
, I just think that idea is a bit too absurd or even absurd.
"Albus..."
"This one belongs to Miss Granger. She did a really good job. As you just said, it's the first time I can do it to this extent. I have nothing to criticize."
"So, I gave Gryffindor five points."
"And this one..."
"I'm the one who changed."
As she spoke, she saw the astonishment on Dumbledore's face, picked up the second silver needle, organized her words, and then continued:
"As for these two..."
"Actually, it was Annie who became!"
"That's right!"
"That's the eight-year-old kid!"
"Originally there was only one, but some students, and even me at the time, thought she might have cheated and took it out of her pocket secretly?"
"So, I made her change for the second time in front of me and other classmates!"
"Right under all our noses!"
After saying that, McGonagall, who looked a little solemn, solemnly placed the two needles in Dumbledore's hands again, so that the other party could realize the 'weight' of the two needles.
And this is exactly why she came here today!
"this……"
"Merlin..."
"This, this..."
Dumbledore looked at McGonagall, then at the two beautiful golden embroidery needles in his hand, and could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"!!"
Then, he thought about it for a while without believing in evil, then picked up the two needles and compared them carefully and looked at them again and again. Then, he found that although the two needles looked the same in general, when he looked carefully, he found many subtle patterns.
After they were all different, he couldn't help but take a breath again.
"All right!"
“This is indeed an amazing talent!”
Nodding, Dumbledore finally sighed.
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the fun, but insiders watch the door!
As the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he has served as a transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, received the Order of Merlin First Class, founder and secret keeper of the Order of the Phoenix, president of the International Federation of Wizards, and chief wizard of the Wizengamot.
For someone who has been nominated as the Minister of Magic many times and is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time, he can see a lot of things at a glance with such a needle.
Obviously, the two embroidery needles have different patterns and are like works of art, and the key is to use the deformation technique to conjure them up. The incredibly subtle and precise ability to control magic is indeed worthy of admiration.
!
This left him speechless, and he really couldn't find any fault with it!
Anyway, he thinks he can't change it, because the most he can do is like Mag's. He wants to become the kind of material that Anne changes and each one has different patterns, like a work of art.
There is no way he can do it if the same needle comes out.
You know, he and Mag are both over two hundred years old together, but now they are being outclassed by an eight-year-old girl. What else can he say?
"If it were just like this, I wouldn't come to you..."
"Albus, and..."
“More amazing!”
Having said this, the expression on McGonagall's face suddenly became excited, and she solemnly put the four needles together, and then said to Dumbledore:
"Try using a counter-spell!"
"Use these four needles together?"
With that said, after signaling Dumbledore to try, McGonagall stepped aside again.
"Counter curse?"
Although he was confused, Dumbledore looked at McGonagall who looked serious, thought about it, took out his wand and cast a silent counter-curse.
"!!"
However, he was soon surprised to see: except that the two needles of Hermione and Professor McGonagall turned back into matches, the two needles transformed by Annie did not change at all?
Yes, they have not changed at all under the influence of the counter-spell!
"this!"
"No way?"
Seeing this, Dumbledore was extremely surprised and couldn't help but become serious.
Then he concentrated and stared at the two needles for a long time, and then solemnly waved a standard gesture with his Elder Wand again and recited another spell:
"The true form is revealed!"
However, it’s no use!
Those two golden needles still looked like golden needles. They had no reaction to his counter-curse and manifestation spell, and were directly immune to them.
"this……"
In response to this, while being extremely shocked, Dumbledore had no choice but to look at McGonagall with an embarrassed and embarrassed look, wanting to hear the other person's opinion.
"You noticed it too, right?"
"That's why I couldn't wait to come to you!"
"You also know..."
"Some transformation techniques can cause objects to permanently change their forms... No, that may not be considered a transformation technique anymore, but a complete alchemy!"
"However, that kind of thing usually only happened to a certain legendary magic master in ancient times, and for hundreds of thousands of years, that kind of thing has not been heard of for a long time."
"We only hear occasional reports of accidents..."
"But the key is, this is not an accident, this is an active transformation!"
"Or twice!"
"so……"
"Annie's talent may be stronger than we imagined!"
"The reason why she appears on the admissions list of Hogwarts this semester, I think, may not be just an accident. It may be that our ancient magic spell at Hogwarts no longer allows us to wait for her for another three years."
?”
Just like that, Professor McGonagall stated a certain judgment of hers with a solemn and solemn face, and then after finishing speaking, there was a rare trace of excitement and excitement on her face.
"..."
However, Dumbledore was not in a hurry to make a judgment, but continued to ponder.
After looking at McGonagall for a long time, and then at the two golden needles on the table, Dumbledore couldn't figure out the key and couldn't find the problem, so he asked in a deep voice:
"That……"
"Could it be the wand?"
He felt that Mag's conclusion was still a bit premature.
"no!"
"I checked it out. Apart from the beautiful workmanship and brand newness, there is nothing else about the wand. It is just an ordinary wand!"
"Besides, I used the fireplace to go to Diagon Alley and ask."
"I bought that wand from Ollivander's. Mr. Ollivander said that the wand is very ordinary, and its overall quality is not even as good as the wand in my hand?"
Mag shook her head and directly stated what she found and saw.
"That's it..."
Hearing this, Dumbledore frowned again and began to think deeply, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.
"That……"
"Have you ever heard of the family named 'Hasta'?"
Then he asked again.
"I have no idea!"
"Isn't this what you went to investigate?"
Shaking his head, Mag asked.
"I tried..."
"But it didn't work out."
"No results?"
"Yes."
"How come there is no result?"
"Can't find out where she came from?"
"Isn't this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible..."
"Perhaps she comes from a family protected by an ancient spell, like an unbreakable oath?"
"certainly!"
"That's just my guess. You know, many ancient spells have been lost. I don't know exactly..."
"Albus, it seems that you want her to quit before the difficulties. It is impossible for her to drop out of school on her own."
"There is no doubt that Anne is a very good and talented student!"
"Well..."
"Maybe I'm just gifted in the art of transfiguration?"
"I heard that she couldn't listen to many courses, and then she fell asleep in the classroom early in the morning?"
"..."
"So, Minerva, let's observe it for a while before we talk?"
The two talked for a while. Dumbledore seemed to have different views on Anne's question, and was not as hasty as McGonagall to make a conclusion.
"Albus..."
"Even if she is just a child with a talent for transfiguration, I think we should keep her?"
"I hope you can seriously consider my opinion."
After hesitating, Professor McGonagall finally expressed her thoughts somewhat hastily.
Although she also knows that it is not good for an eight-year-old child to come to school, it is indeed a bit too early, but the problem is that such a good seedling can become a master of transformation with just a little training, which is of no use to her.
Rejected by law.
After all, after teaching such a super genius, she could no longer look down on those crooked people.
But such a good student cannot be allowed to teach her everything. If she cannot be allowed to teach transfiguration, she may not be able to eat or sleep at ease!
"Let's talk again!"
"Okay!"
"Shall we observe again?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and Dumbledore signaled that McGonagall could go out.
After all, he was preparing to take a nap just now, and now that the matter was finished, he had to take a rest quickly.
"..."
There was no other way. Seeing that Dumbledore didn't make a statement, McGonagall could only sigh, then shook her head and turned to leave.
Chapter completed!
