139 Failed plan
In one of the school halls.
Almost all the fourth-year students were gathering together there looking at Professor McGonagall and Gray who were dancing in the middle of the hall...
Yup... This class was to teach the students how to dance... A very traditional class...
The picture here was so weird and somehow funny... In many different ways...
What was even weirder was that Gray was so good at dancing!!
For this... Gray found many talents like dancing talents before, so it's only natural for him to be good automatically... In fact, he can be good at many other things if he wants...
McGonagall wanted to show the students the basic steps of dancing, so Gray volunteered to this, which made everyone feel weird...
Gray was never active about anything like that... This was unlike his character...
So most of them came to a conclusion... Which was *So this was Gray's hobby....*
They felt that they learned more about Gray today...
Lucky for them Gray doesn't know their minds...
In fact... The only reason why Gray was doing this because this was the easiest chance to come in touch with this old woman...
On the outside, he looked as if he was doing a good job following Professor McGonagall's steps...
But in fact, he was checking her disks...
'The same...' Gray searched for the Animagus skill again and didn't find anything again...
But he expected this, so he turned his eyes on the other skills here...
Well... many high-level transformation magic spells..... Almost every known Transfiguration spell exist here...
Not many people will have high-level spells of this magic... Only some talented or hard-working people will master these skills... And to reach this level, it needs more than just a talent but more time and work and control over magic...
Without much thought, he ignored the spells here and didn't copy any of them... He was really not interested in these spells... After all, this was not what he wanted... Besides, the knowledge about these skills was already inside his mind... So there was no need to waste disk space on useless spell mastery... If he really wanted to use any of them, there was no need to be good at it... just relying on his knowledge and his magic control he can use them smoothly...
So he ended up copying only one magic... which was Conjuration magic...
He ignored this magic before but it was always one of the interesting magics...
This magic is one of the most complex magic in between Transfiguration magics...
What does it do? Not much... Only one thing, which is to transfigure the desired thing out of thin air...
For example, when Quirrell summoned fire around the room before, it was this magic job...
Yup... Another weird and really strong magic... But this magic also limited... The transfigured thing might be so real, but in essence, it's just empty energy with no real attributes... So what usually summoned by it, will disappear soon after...
Which shows... What will be summoned was a fake thing...
And the most important limitation, not really everything can be created out of thin air... For example, one can summon a snake, but he won't be able to summon a dragon... Which is limited to the caster's understanding and strength in this magic itself.
Gray already got this spell before, but because of the many limitations, he didn't use it till now... After all, there was no real need to use it...
After ending with the skill disk, he turned to the memories disk and started digging all the knowledge and details, experiences about the Transfiguration magic that he doesn't have... All this knowledge is valuable for him! More valuable than the skills themselves!
With Gray and McGonagall's show, the students were forced to join in... though most of the male students were refusing to dance... But under McGonagall teacher's pressure, no one dared to refuse...
...
After the class, everyone was busy with their things...
The male student around the school became like bees going everywhere looking for female students who might become a dancing partner they could go to the party with...
As for Gray, he started thinking of the new knowledge in his mind deeply...
McGonagall's knowledge really surprised him, now his incomplete idea became more... incomplete...
But there was no reason not to try... He didn't feel wrong and started thinking about how to make his idea work...
...
...
Three weeks later...
Gray alone in the forest looked at the big floating stone in front of him with a little sad face...
Just looking at the stone, one can see many cracks on it... And even slowly turning to dust flying around in a weird way...
'Looks like... I thought more than I should...' While thinking of this, Gray looked at the destroyed field around him...
Some trees were broken in weird ways, while the ground was cracked and twisted in circles very odd-looking, many holes can be seen here and there... While many stones already turned to powder around him...
"@$%@#" Nagini appeared beside Gray and licked his face comforting him.
"*sigh*... It's okay... Just a little sad..." Gray smiled at Nagini and said with a smile...
He was really sad... He didn't think that transforming the essence will be so unworkable like that...
Transform the essence...
This was Gray's plan for Transfiguration magic, and his magnet control...
How are they connected?
Magnet control ... is a really strong ability... With enough time and development, it can even reach the level where he can push the sun and pull the moon!! Let's not say this is not the limit... At a current level... Even a space wormhole can be created... But this is only a theory for now... And his control was just a fur at the current level...
But it's still true that the control over Ferromagnetic matter was so strong... such strong control that can even reach a molecular level... if this control level was put on something else... wouldn't it be really good?
Like, control of the space to this level... Controlling anything?
But as said before... Magnet control was limited to Ferromagnetic matters... Can't break this rule...
So... Gray thought of something... Since he can only control Ferromagnetic matters... Then what he should do was to let everything be within his field of control! This was the way Gray thought of before... To transform the essence of a thing to become Ferromagnetic!!!!
Why Magic is awesome? Because it can do what normally called impossible... But even magic has logic...
Transfiguration magic ... this magic is really awesome...
Changing cat to a dog? Turning statue into a stone warrior? Turning humans into animals?
This magic is really weird... yet strong! But sill, not what Gray wants...
Transfiguration magic almost has no limit to what it can turn, but he can't turn anything as he wants to at the same time... So this magic also has its rules...
If anything can be transformed as the caster imagines it... This world won't be just a magic world... And this magic shouldn't be called magic anymore!
But Gray wanted to do this, and create his own spell and turn thing with that idea in mind... But yup... Apparently, he failed...
It's true that magic can do what is called impossible... But what he wanted to do had gone a little bit beyond logic... After all, it's a rule from the world itself that trees aren't Ferromagnetic... When he tried to do such a thing to the tree, The tree balance was simply blown up by him...
He really succeeded in turning things into Ferromagnetic objects... But failed in keeping the object be what they are...
Not everything can be Ferromagnetic... This truth, Gray couldn't alter...
The stone in front of him was the only thing that became Ferromagnetic half successfully... But...
*WOOSH* Gray moved his finger a little bit, and the stone directly turned to dust...
The stone balance was destroyed again...
These three weeks, made Gray a little helpless... Before he used to control things in the same way, by transforming parts of the objects to iron so he could gain little control... And it was almost the same, but this wasn't what he wanted anymore... he wanted to control things to the very essence!
So he found how naive he was... If he really did this and even tried to do such a thing on the living body... or even space... The picture was so ugly to imagine...
The more he tried the more he understood that his way of doing things was wrong... continuing like this, he won't gain anything...
'Since things became like this, then simply give up... it's not worth the time anyway...' Gray looked up and sighed again...
After being annoyed for some time, Gray turned back and gave up...
Anyway, nothing can be done, moreover, there was nothing in this world that might fix his problem here...
'Then.. let's start with the philosopher's stone for now...' Gray thought while walking back to Hogwarts...
'Come to think about it... Perona acted weird these days... probably because of the party thing...'
