8 Transfiguration Course

With the help of Dobby, the youngest twin tidied up the room, really what they say about being easier to get used to stewardship was true, since his past life, Dantalion always had someone to help him with the housework.

The next day before dawn, he got up, showered and went to see Draco, who showed no signs of waking up, decided to call him again after eating, luckily there was no class today and Dantalion planned to explore the castle and get familiarized. with the environment.

Walking into the common room, Dantalion saw Daphne, who also just left the dorm, the two decided to go to the main hall for breakfast, only to find that the hall was practically empty, it turns out that the two woke up very early, Dantalion decided to explore the castle and after breakfast, he said goodbye to Daphne and started exploring.

There are a total of one hundred and forty stairs in Hogwarts, some of them are wide and big, some are narrow and small, some lead to different places, some lead to the same places and some disappear suddenly, moreover there are many doors, some are not real, just garnish. Dantalion walked through the nine floors, including the dungeons and discovered the location of the classrooms, at the same time he discovered three "secret" passages, they are usually hidden behind tapestries, stone carvings or portraits, some passages required a password or specify actions to open

When he returned to the cafeteria, there were already students at the Slytherin table, Dantalion saw Draco, who was still with sleepy eyes, was sitting between Goyle and Crabbe, Daphane was also sitting with her friend Tracey, saying hello to both groups, sat down and began to eat, his plate consisted of typical English coffee, eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, baked beans and mushrooms. Taking a parchment out of his pocket he began to draw.

"What are you painting?" Draco couldn't help but ask.

"I'm drawing a map of Hogwarts, recording the location of each classroom and the secret passageways I found." Dantalion did not raise his head and continued drawing.After a while Dantalion finished, and looked closely at the parchment.

"Hm, is that a castle map? Let me have a look?" A girl spoke beside him, it was Pansy, already reaching for the parchment. Daphine who was nearby looked at her in disgust.

Dantalion took out his wand and tapped the parchment lightly, copying the map, with a spell and gave Pansy, "Here, but I still think you should take a tour of the castle alone, that's the fun."

Parkison looked at him in surprise "You already learned the copy spell!"

"Hm" said Dantalion confirming, "This spell is not difficult, Draco and I learned it together", he said smiling at his brother.

"Yes, I can teach you if you like," Draco offered, tapping his wand on Pansy's parchment and making a copy for himself.

Pansy looked at Draco lovingly and her eyes sparkled, accepting the proposal, checking the map in her hand she was impressed, the map was very detailed, the room markings, passages and stairs were very complete, it was not something that anyone could do. Dantalion, as a great businessman in his past life, was present in different sectors of the economy, and construction was one of them, as he used to check architectural plans, he ended up learning the craft, as well as a little space science and design techniques.

It didn't take long for Pansy's other friends to arrive at the cafeteria, Dantalion looking for a way to "escape" them, looked at Daphne and invited her to the library, the two got up and said goodbye to the rest of the Slytherin table.

Hogwarts has a book collection has over 100,000, which is more than the combined collection of the Malfoy family, the Black family and your grandmother Druella's house. Daphne picked up a book on spells and began to read in silence, meanwhile, Dantalion was still wandering the shelves, discovering some "interesting" books like "How to Have Fun with Vampires", "Make Your Own Cheese" and "Travels with Trolls".

Dantalion decided for Occlumency, in this castle there are at least two Legimens wizards, Dumbledore and Snape and so, for his future plans not been discovered, it will better take precautions, borrowing several books on Occlumency in the library, he decided to return to the dormitory and study with patience.

Hogwarts freshmen take a total of eight courses, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Portions, Herbology, History of Magic, Charms, Astrology and the most anticipated Flew class. The Transfiguration class is held with the Hufflepuff students, the course teacher is Mrs. McGonagall, who is strict and fair, therefore she treats the students of the four houses equally, was not partial to giving points.

"Transfiguration class is the most dangerous subject in the first year, so I don't want anyone causing problems in class, if so, I invite them to leave, I hope they keep that in mind." The bell rang, she stopped in front of the stage and said solemnly.

Professor MacGonagall took out her magic wand after finishing her opening comment, she pointed it to an empty table and cast a spell, under the startled gaze of the fledglings, the table squirmed and turned into a pig very matter-of-factly, "Wow!" Most of the students were attracted by the magic and exclaimed.

"I believe that many people have already read the textbook and have a preliminary understanding of this course" said the teacher slowly, waving her wand and changing the table back to its original state, "As you can see, this course is extremely advanced and profound , magic comes with risks, if you're not absolutely sure it's best not to try it yourself."

Most of the students looked dubious, but Dantalion didn't dare treat magic lightly, he probably read all the first year books, and the hardest one to understand is the "Transfiguration Guide for Beginners", this course requires not only the correct spell, but also a thorough understanding of the nature of the transformed objects. Mages who study transfiguration must understand the material laws of things and the magical rules of transfiguration, in addition to that, the effect and complexity of the technique is closely linked with the magical power of the wizard.

However Transfiguration is not too difficult for Dantalion, who studied mathematics, physics and biology in his past life, his understanding of the laws of matter far exceeds that of other fledglings and even some adult mages. All he needs to do is trust his imagination to visualize the image of a needle in his consciousness, the clearer and more detailed the image the better, then inject magic using a spell, this process requires absolute concentration, trust and intention, that's why that unsuspecting little wizards like Neville and Ron have difficulty in this matter.

While the students around are trying to turn the phosphorus into a needle, Dantalion had already gotten his silver needle, and there was a realistic snake head in the eye of the needle, Professor MacGonagall who passed by to check on the students, was very happy and gave 10 points for Slytherin, at the end of class only the Malfoy twins had completed the task, Draco who studied with Dantalion, even though he was a little lazier, was very intelligent and had good magical reserves.

I didn't put it about McGonagall being an Animagus in the first class, because many fanfics do that in the first class, as Dantalion wouldn't have a class with Harry, I didn't think it was relevant to put it.
