Chapter 52: Not scientific

"Here, here!" Li Qiaodan waved at the twins who had just entered the hall, "You finally showed up."

"Why are you all here?" George sat next to Lee Jordan and greeted everyone else.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Li Qiaodan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the two of them. "It's dinner time. If we don't eat here, where else can we go?"

"Yes, please pass me the jam, thank you." Fred spread a lot of jam on the bread, took a big bite and asked, "What did you learn in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning?"

"We spent half of the class on dark creatures, and the rest of the time we practiced how to shoot red and green sparks." It wasn't Lee Jordan who answered him, but Angelina who was sitting opposite them. The future Quidditch captain was looking at the twins with a scrutinizing look, "I heard that Gryffindor deducted 30 points from you this morning, which took away all the points Albert had earned during this period."

Fred stabbed a potato in the skin with his fork and muttered, "We only lost twenty points."

"Ten points were deducted from History of Magic." Albert looked up at the twins and asked, "Where did you go this afternoon?"

"Secret!" Fred and George looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Lee Jordan seemed to remember something and said to the Weasley brothers, "Filch asked me to tell you that your detention will be tomorrow night in the trophy display room."

"It seems you don't have to clean the chamber pots anymore. You can clean the trophies instead." After finishing the meal, Albert took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth and suddenly said, "By the way, I met William not long ago. It seems that he just cleaned the chamber pots of the school hospital."

"Please don't talk about these things during meal time." Shanna glanced at Albert unhappily and complained, "It will affect everyone's appetite."

"I remember there is an astronomy class in the evening." Alia changed the subject with difficulty, "Has anyone been to the astronomy tower?"

"Don't look at me, I haven't been there." Li Jordan was the first to shake his head and said, "By the way, what time does the astronomy class start tonight?"

"Starts at 9:30." Albert said, glancing at the schedule.

"So late?" Angelina took out her schedule from her backpack and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was exactly this time.

You know, Hogwarts has a curfew at 11 o'clock.

"Don't worry, we went to the top of the astronomy tower at noon."

"That's great!" Albert nodded to the twins and said, "You will be responsible for leading the way for everyone later. Don't forget to bring your telescope. Oh, and the notes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magic."

As he spoke, Albert took out two books from his bag and placed them on the table.

"Let me go first!" Li Jordan reached for the book.

"We can each copy one subject and take turns copying later." The twins were faster than Li Jordan.

Compared to borrowing notes from other people, Albert's History of Magic notes are obviously more reliable.

"you… "

"Ahem, how are you doing with your glowing charms? I think we have Transfiguration and Charms classes tomorrow." Alia glanced at the shameless twins and continued, "My matches haven't changed at all so far."

"Sanna, how are your two spells going? Oh, I almost forgot the two spells from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Angelina was a little angry. There was no progress on her matches, although she didn't spend much time and energy on practicing magic during this period.

"I only mastered the Luminous Charm." After hearing about everyone's situation, Sana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had been practicing the Luminous Charm these days and had barely mastered it.

"Don't worry." Albert comforted, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will leave time for us in class. Of course, you can practice on the weekends."

"Albert doesn't even have to worry about homework. How enviable!" Fred said exaggeratedly.

Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and thought to himself: "What's the point of being envious? Just practice hard on your own."

"What about you?" George asked his roommate next to him.

"Well, I've almost mastered the Glowing Charm. However, Transfiguration is really difficult." Li Jordan thought about the difficulty of Transfiguration and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lee, when did you master the glowing spell?" Fred and George looked at their roommate in surprise.

We were supposed to be at the same level, right? Why did you sneak away by yourself

"Last night... I was also practicing the luminous spell," Lee Jordan said unhappily.

"Sure enough, Transfiguration is still more difficult?" Alia looked up at Albert. The others also looked at Albert.

Albert was speechless for a moment: What are you looking at me for

"I want you to teach everyone." Fred put his arm around Albert's neck and said, "Do you have any tricks?"

"There is no trick. It just depends on everyone's practice." Albert said helplessly, "Professor McGonagall also mentioned the things that need attention."

It's nothing more than remembering to concentrate when transforming, waving the wand quickly, and saying the spell correctly when practicing.

Of course, learning Transfiguration requires effort on your part.

In fact, there are some things Albert didn’t say: Unless you have a panel like me.

At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the auditorium again and prepared to practice spells together.

However, everyone found that they had no matches, and finally George had to break off a small branch from outside to serve as a match.

"Ahem, actually you can turn branches into matches," Alia reminded.

"That's a good idea." Others echoed.

"vera verto." Albert's mouth twitched, and after a light sigh, he picked up the magic wand and tapped the twig lightly, immediately turning it into a match.

"Copy it in pairs!"

Albert made a few more copies of the matches and distributed them to others for practice.

Professor McGonagall was right when she said Transfiguration was a difficult subject. Until the astronomy class, no one had succeeded in transforming the matches.

"This is unscientific, why is it so difficult!" Shanna couldn't help but complain.

"Of course this is unscientific, after all, it's magic!" Albert wanted to complain, but he finally held it back.

A girl happened to hear the complaints of several people when she passed by, so she stayed beside Albert for a while and said to everyone: "Transfiguration itself is difficult. It is very difficult to succeed in one fell swoop without spending a few days practicing well, especially for freshmen who have just come into contact with magic."

"Good evening, Katrina."

Katrina just nodded at Albert and walked away.

"I wish we didn't have astronomy class with Ravenclaw." Angelina muttered. She didn't like that guy very much.

"Some people in Ravenclaw have strange tempers, and we have astronomy class with Hufflepuff students." Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, then looked up and said to everyone, "Okay, we should go, be careful not to be late."
