"... According to Hecate's uncertainty theory, we can know that no one can achieve 'complete imagination' when casting all transformation spells. In other words, no matter how hard we usually study the properties of matter It shows that in practical application, we are all 'careless'. We cannot take into account all the details - yes, I can't do it either."
"But why can we still successfully perform the transformation technique under such a 'sloppy' situation? In other words, why can we still significantly improve the success rate of transformation through continuous practice? This is actually because we Every time a spell is cast successfully, some traces will be left in our subconscious, which will invisibly help us cast a spell next time... "
"Therefore, continuous practice is definitely necessary. Please don't slack off after class. Even if we will always become 'sloppy' in actual application, practicing daily will still bring us great benefits. s help."
Professor McGonagall taught the class seriously on the podium. While explaining the boring theory of transfiguration, he also encouraged everyone to practice on their own after class.
But to be honest, in Professor McGonagall's class, such deliberate reminders were actually relatively rare before. It's just that the situation in Europe has become increasingly severe recently, which fills her heart with worries, so much so that she can't help but want the students to grow up as quickly as possible and gain some ability to protect themselves.
However, geniuses are often in the minority in this world, and luck does not always favor them. There is definitely no rush when it comes to learning.
But even so, the little wizards tried their best to listen.
There is no doubt that by now, the students on the ship have already had many speculations about the situation in the outside world. Even if the professors don't often talk to them about specific things, there is always a reason why the ship has not docked for such a long time, right? Little wizards are not stupid.
And it was at this moment when the professor was worried and the students were secretly anxious that a young wizard who was sitting closer to the porthole suddenly seemed to have caught a glimpse of something and was stunned for a moment.
"Hey! Look, it's foggy outside-"
He reached out and poked the classmate sitting next to him, looked out the window and whispered.
Yes, there seems to be a bit of fog on the sea outside - it's not the weird gray fog like in the UK, it's just a normal fog.
Apparently fog at sea is not an uncommon occurrence either. Sometimes when the wind is stronger, a thin layer of mist is often cast on the sea surface, and if the fog is sometimes very strong, it may mean that a storm is coming.
In fact, during this period of sailing, everyone has experienced even very terrible thunderstorms at sea more than once.
"What's the big deal... Don't be distracted! This is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The classmate whose elbow he poked with his finger didn't even move his head. He just complained like this in a very small voice.
"But-"
The little wizard couldn't help but turn around and take a look, only to see that the fog outside the porthole seemed to be thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon the window was even covered with a layer of water vapor, making it impossible to see anything. Cleared.
However, when I thought that my classmates were telling the truth, it seemed that there was nothing to make a fuss about.
"But... I seemed to have seen something big passing by outside just now." He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Well, forget it... Maybe I saw it wrong because it was hazy!"
With this thought, he forced himself to return to the state of listening carefully to the lecture, temporarily putting the doubts in his mind behind him.
However, the fog was a real fog, and the huge shadow he saw was also not an illusion.
…
Almost at the same time, Snape, who was casually chatting with his sister Tia on the deck above, suddenly frowned slightly and turned around again to look at the sea outside the ship's side.
"Is it foggy again?" He muttered slightly annoyed.
"Well," Tia couldn't help but pause after hearing this, and echoed, "Every time the fog comes up, it always reminds me of Mr. Lockhart's performance... Mr. MacLean's magic is really wonderful."
"That's just with the help of Dumbledore's Pensieve." Snape said, and then added, "However, that kid's talent and ability are indeed pretty good."
"You're here again," Tia blinked, "Can't you sincerely praise others?"
But Snape just shook his head in disapproval.
"People who are truly capable don't need my praise."
He said this casually, but his eyes kept wandering among the increasingly dense fog on the sea. Because at this moment, he, who was proficient in Occlumency, had vaguely noticed that there seemed to be some kind of spiritual power quietly spreading in the fog.
However, he could not find the source of that power.
"Tia, go back to the cabin!"
"Oh, of course. The fog suddenly became so thick that the hems of my clothes were almost wet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Snape was seen taking the lead and walking quickly towards the cabin door. As soon as she saw him, she hurriedly chased after him, and the two of them got into the cabin in a blink of an eye.
"Safe guard."
As soon as he entered the cabin, Snape drew out his wand and cast a spell with his backhand, sealing the cabin door directly. Seeing that the mist no longer came in through the cracks in the door, he nodded to himself, and then strode straight along the aisle to the back half of the ship. But after taking a step, he suddenly paused, turned to look at Tia and said:
"What are you still doing? Follow me."
Tia, who was lagging behind, was still looking at the hatch sealed by Snape. After hearing the reminder, she quickly continued to follow.
During this time spent with Snape, she got to know her brother somewhat. Now that the other party is doing this, needless to say, something may have happened.
A moment later, Snape passed by the classroom on the ship where Professor McGonagall was teaching. After thinking about it, he stopped in front of the classroom door and knocked on the door.
Soon, the sound of lectures inside was heard to stop.
"Please come in."
As soon as McGonagall's voice came to mind, Snape opened the classroom door, took a step inside and said to the person behind the podium:
"Something's going on. Let's pause the class for now!"
Because it was inconvenient to elaborate in front of the students, Snape just mentioned this, and then immediately turned around and left the classroom, continuing to walk to the other end of the corridor.
