Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

The answer is yes.

The transformation technique can indeed transform the wizard chess pieces. Some senior students have done similar things to wizard chess for fun.

However, Professor McGonagall, the master of transformation, is obviously much stronger than the little wizard, and his tricks are even more bizarre.

As her wand clicked one by one, all the chess pieces on the chessboard began to transform:

The "King's" crown has an extra ruby ​​on it;

A flagpole was erected on the "castle" and a flag with the Hogwarts crest was raised;

The "Queen" put on a palace dance dress and danced on the spot;

The horse under the "knight" turned into a little lion, roaring dissatisfiedly at the "knight" riding on its back, and seemed to want to turn over and become the master;

Those "soldiers" jumped off the chessboard, magnified many times in proportion, and stood in a row behind the little wizards...

"Material transformation, form transformation, mimetic transformation, living body transformation, and proportional transformation, these are the five main categories of transformation." Professor McGonagall said clearly.

"They are all displayed one by one on the wizard's chess alchemy item, and none of them can't produce an effect."

She glanced at the thoughtful little wizards, but then the conversation changed.

“But I still can’t say that transfiguration will definitely have an effect on alchemical items.

To explain this statement, I must explain to you a profound theory of alchemy, that is: the alchemical items made by alchemists actually contain a virtual soul.

When playing chess, the reason why wizard chess can give you feedback is actually because the virtual soul is directing their behavior.

Transfiguration is essentially a way for wizards to use magic spells to change other things. It is an extension of the shapeshifter's will.

If the shapeshifter's will is strong enough to subdue and change the virtual soul in the alchemical item, then the transfiguration spell can change the alchemical item.

Otherwise, the transfiguration spell will not take effect.

Like the bronze door knocker made by Ravenclaw and the Sorting Hat made by Gryffindor, they are all extremely powerful alchemical items.

Unless they voluntarily do so, it is difficult for others to use transfiguration to change them - the bronze door knocker commemorating the founder's birthday, and the Sorting Hat opening its mouth to sing during the sorting ceremony are all actually because they spontaneously changed their virtual souls, and then That's what caused the change in its appearance..."

The content taught by Professor McGonagall was both high-end and profound, and the young wizards who participated in the Transfiguration Club listened with gusto.

But just when Bourne and the others were wandering in the ocean of knowledge, a silver phoenix suddenly emerged from the wall, flew to Professor McGonagall and whispered a few words to her.

After hearing these words, Professor McGonagall could only reluctantly announce to the young wizards that this club activity was over, and Dumbledore had something to ask her.

Of course, the witch did not forget to leave homework for the students: "In response to what I just said, everyone must submit a paper to me next week."

For these top students, she did not specify the length of their papers, but just suggested that they go to the library to find more reference books.

……

"hateful!"

Like other little wizards who are addicted to listening to lectures, Bourne also walked out of the office with a lot of "grievance". He was not like the little snake in Slytherin who habitually complained about Dumbledore, but secretly cursed those who were looking for trouble at Hogwarts during the weekend.

From a certain perspective, his intuition was indeed terrifyingly accurate, and he immediately focused on the keywords "those" and "looking for trouble".

And in the current British wizarding world, if you hold these two keywords in your hand and publish a missing person notice in the Daily Prophet, you will definitely find the right one.

Because before, there might have been the "Death Eaters" group as an alternative, but now the only answer that fits these two criteria is the "Ministry of Magic".

And if I have to put it more bluntly, it is this: Fudge, who had just been elected as the Minister of Magic, arrived at Hogwarts with a crowd of people shouting in front of him. Dumbledore, who felt a little headache, hurriedly found the vice-principal. Let’s have a headache together…

Oh, no, hosting the reception.

It was quite sudden, so I had to suffer for a good kid like Bourne who loves to learn.

The Transfiguration Office is not connected to the Gryffindor Tower or the library, so Bourne can only go down to the Great Hall and then up the stairs (yes, the stairs in Hogwarts are so magical).

As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw the group of people who were "looking for nothing" because they had entered the auditorium hall from the covered bridge on the side of the castle.

A group of people walked into the gate of Hogwarts Castle. There were two reporter-like wizards in front of them, with wands in their mouths and cameras in their hands, constantly looking for angles to take pictures. The cameras in their hands were of a very classic style. After the spotlight flashed, curls of green smoke would burst out. They took so many photos that they turned the area at the castle gate into a "fairyland on earth."

Walking in the middle of the team was Cornelius Fudge, the newly appointed Minister of Magic last year. He held the arm of the old principal Dumbledore and walked into Hogwarts with a smile surrounded by everyone.

Following Fudge were a group of civil servants from the Ministry of Magic. Among them, there was a woman who stood out the most. This was not to say how beautiful she was. In fact, it was just the opposite. She was wearing a pink professional suit and Wearing a pair of Death Barbie pink leather shoes and a pink lady's hat on top of her head, she looks to be as tall as a third-grade wizard at most. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel funny.

After entering Hogwarts Castle, the lady found the reporter's seat and said: "The air here is extremely sweet, revealing a different kind of luxury."

The colleagues around her were shocked by her abrupt words, and even her old leader, Minister Fudge, was embarrassed.

"Ms. Umbridge, now is not the time to lament or reminisce, hurry up and get busy with your work." Fudge ordered directly.

This Umbridge is a typical Ministry of Magic bureaucrat: she loves vanity and likes to work hard - the reporters from the Daily Prophet accompanying her today were all found by her.

If she hadn't always been able to pick her side accurately and be able to do the dirty work with ease, Fudge would have kicked her out of his faction long ago.

When he came to Hogwarts this time, the newly appointed Minister of Magic had two main things to do.

The first thing is that he needs to have a public "secret meeting" with Dumbledore, both to exchange interests and to express an attitude to the public.

It is true that, as popular rumors say, Cornelius Fudge was able to succeed Ms. Millicent Barnold because of Dumbledore's support.

However, having served as Minister of Magic for a year, Fudge felt that his position was almost secure.

Therefore, he wants to express to the public that not only is he not Dumbledore's puppet, but he is the superior of the respected headmaster.

Even if Cornelius Fudge had to fulfill some of the conditions he had promised privately, he still had to fulfill his promise, but he still had to show his outstanding face.

The second thing, also for show, is that the Minister of Magic gave the little wizards a big gift on their boring weekend.

He asked the Ministry of Magic to pay for a professional team with a magic projector to show a movie in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

"Principal Dumbledore, I promise you, this is definitely a good show," Fudge took the old wizard's arm and walked towards the principal's office while whispering with a smile on his face: "The cloth who teaches Muggle Studies Professor Baji should have told you, what is a movie?

It's a form of entertainment invented by Muggles - not as vivid as magical portraits, but a bit like the moving portraits printed on chocolate frog cards, but lasting longer and with a richer story.

I specially hired a professional magic screening team from France to show the little wizards a magic movie "What Kind of Wizard Is Napoleon?" today. "

Dumbledore just smiled, as if his attitude towards this matter was neither objection nor support.

Upon seeing this, Minister Fudge, whose "vision" level reached tenth level, immediately changed the topic.

"Principal Dumbledore, have the school directors started to scrimp again this year when paying for teaching funds?

I heard that when the little wizards were taking flying lessons two days ago, they almost had a teaching accident because their brooms were old.

Don't worry, when you interview the professors later, you can just ask them to boldly report their teaching budget.

I will definitely go all out to help them and let those stingy school directors regain their dignity..."

While chatting (mainly Fudge talking, Dumbledore just listening), a group of people from the Ministry of Magic came to the principal's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Why is it said "continuously"?

This is because only Dumbledore and Fudge took the spiral staircase hidden behind the gargoyles.

The others all climbed up the eight floors "hahaha" and relived the scene of fighting wits and courage with these "moving stairs" in their school days. They even suffered from Peeves' chalk head and wet... Paper ball attack.

All these people have been complaining for so many years, why can’t the school get rid of this annoying ghost?

As for their bitterness and complaints, some people now don't have to climb the stairs, but they are full of jealousy towards these people.

For example, Umbridge.

She was extremely jealous now.

The minister asked her to decorate the Great Hall of Hogwarts so that she could show a movie to the little wizards, which deprived her of many opportunities to be exposed to the spotlight.

"Damn guy, he will bully honest people. Those reporters were obviously found by me!" While using her wand to cast a spell on the curtain, Umbridge kept cursing her career leader in her heart. "The Minister of Magic is obviously a wizard, but he has to learn from Muggles, play movies, and do cinema! It's really embarrassing for pure-blood wizards."

Just as she was flipping through the little notebook in her heart and starting to comment on the rights and wrongs of her old leader one by one, a "woo woo woo" sound came from behind her.

Umbridge was stunned for a moment.

"Why did the train come to the castle?"
