"real."
Albert did not lie to Shanna. Both the Transfiguration Club and the Spells Club were somewhat similar in nature to the sixth grade advanced classes.
It’s just that the selection of students is more stringent.
To join the Transfiguration Club, one needs not only talent and hard work, but also a passion and dedication to Transfiguration. Otherwise, the lower grade students simply cannot understand what Professor McGonagall teaches in the club.
Albert told Shanna about some of the things that happened in the Transfiguration Club, but Shanna next to him suddenly shook her head and said, "Forget it."
"Forget it?" Albert was stunned. He didn't expect to get such an answer.
"I was able to master the Transfiguration magic taught by Professor McGonagall earlier than others, but that was achieved through my own hard practice. If I needed to learn more complex knowledge, I don't know how much time and energy it would take." Shanna is very self-aware and knows exactly what her magical talent is, let alone writing a paper that can be published in a magazine like Albert.
That's probably more than just the OWL level.
Can he really keep up with the others and make further progress in Transfiguration
Shanna finally gave up. It was too tiring. It is better not to live a life that is too tiring.
Albert didn't know what to say. Since he hadn't cheated in his previous life, he could understand why Shanna refused.
The two walked to the movable staircase in silence.
"See you later." Albert turned his head to Shanna and said, "By the way, one more thing, don't lend all your homework to others. Be careful if the professor finds out, and then you will be in trouble too."
"If Fred, George and Lee Jordan knew, they would probably want to beat you up," Sana said with a smile.
"Just don't tell them."
Not long after, Albert knocked on the wooden door of Professor McGonagall's office.
"Mr. Anderson, please sit down for a moment. I have something else to do, but it will be done soon." Professor McGonagall was revising the manuscript of "Transfiguration Today".
"Excuse me."
Albert sat in the armchair by the fireplace, drinking the milk tea that Professor McGonagall had conjured out of thin air, flipping through the latest issue of "Transfiguration Today" on the table, waiting for Professor McGonagall to finish the work at hand.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Professor McGonagall finished revising the manuscript and sat in the armchair opposite Albert.
"Animagus question?" Professor McGonagall had already guessed Albert's purpose. She had not forgotten the letter Albert wrote to her during the Christmas holidays.
"Yes." Albert closed the Transfiguration Today magazine and nodded to Professor McGonagall, "As for the Animagus issue, I don't know much about this magic."
"Can you let me see your Patronus?" Professor McGonagall looked at Albert and said softly. She knew Albert's concerns. No Transfiguration Master would give up challenging the Animagus, and a genius like Albert was no exception.
"Of course." Albert raised his wand and began to recall happy things in his mind, successfully using the Patronus Charm to summon his own Patronus.
The pale griffin passed over the top of the office with graceful steps and soon disappeared.
"A very good patronus." Professor McGonagall gave Albert a gratified smile. "Your concerns are not unreasonable, but unfortunately, I have not found any useful information about the records of Animagus, so I cannot give you an answer for the time being."
"That's a pity." Albert was not surprised at all. He had not gone to see Professor McGonagall because of the Animagus issue.
If it is difficult to become an Animagus through the ritual, then Albert can only obtain this skill through panel tasks.
However, to complete the task, he would need to obtain two more Hogwarts Special Contribution Awards, which was not an easy task.
"You still have a long time to solve the problem." Professor McGonagall comforted, "I think you should have read the ritual records in the book. The Animagus ritual requires a very complicated process. I suggest you try Animagus after you graduate from school."
"Okay!" Albert raised his eyebrows and did not delve into the Animagus issue any further. He knew that Professor McGonagall might not be able to give him much help for the time being.
"Actually, there is one more thing."
"What's up?"
"Some time ago, I finally learned the Transfiguration Spell." Albert threw out another surprising thing to Professor McGonagall, "I want to know the more advanced application of the Transfiguration Spell. As far as I know, the Daily Prophet used the Transfiguration Spell so that they could modify the content of the newspaper when necessary."
"Transfiguration spell?" Professor McGonagall looked at the student in front of her again. It was hard to imagine that Albert was a Muggle wizard.
"You are right. The Daily Prophet did use the Transfiguration Spell, but it was not an advanced one. What is the level of Transfiguration Spell you can use now?"
"Let the same text appear on some papers." Albert took out two identical pieces of parchment and used a spell to modify the content on them, causing the words on the parchment to change and re-form another paragraph of text.
"Your talent in Transfiguration is far beyond my imagination." Professor McGonagall looked very happy and continued, "As long as you can use the Transfiguration Spell skillfully, you will be able to change the content of the newspaper, but this is not an advanced application of the Transfiguration Spell."
"What about the two-sided mirror? From what I know, the two-sided mirror uses an advanced transmutation spell."
"Two-sided mirror? I don't know much about it, but if you want to explore the advanced application of the Transfiguration Spell, I suggest you go to the restricted area and borrow two books to read for yourself. One is "The Ultimate Transfiguration" and the other is "Extraordinary Transfiguration." As she said that, Professor McGonagall wrote a note for Albert to borrow a book from the restricted area.
This is the benefit of having a good relationship with professors. They will never hesitate to help in extra areas, especially when it comes to students they like, they will always give the green light all the way.
"Of course, if I find out that you get into any serious trouble because of this, I will put you in detention, Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall did not forget to warn Albert before handing the note to him.
"If you encounter any problems, you can ask me again. Also, don't try the transformation magic in the book recklessly. They are often dangerous."
"I'll pay attention." Albert took the note happily, said goodbye to Professor McGonagall, and turned to leave.
"By the way, Mr. Anderson, please notify your three roommates and ask them to come over for detention." Professor McGonagall handed Albert another piece of parchment before he got up and left. "Their Christmas holiday homework is a mess."
"Oh, I see." Albert was originally planning to cause some trouble to the three people, but he didn't expect that before he even started, the three people would get into trouble.
As soon as Albert left Professor McGonagall's office, he rushed directly to the library to tell Fred and the others the "good news".
"Merlin's beard!" Fred couldn't help but scream.
The other people in the library all looked at them with dissatisfaction, and the next moment, the three of them were driven out of the library by Madam Pince with a chicken feather blanket.
Albert looked at the three people fleeing in a panic and shook his head repeatedly. He smiled and handed Professor McGonagall's note to the rather angry Madam Pince.
