Proficiency +100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had underestimated his Transfiguration talent; after only two weeks of practice, he had already reached the 【Proficient】 standard in Intermediate Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Wizard Sean, but also Professor McGonagall was astonished,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her wrinkles softening, a glint of approval flashing behind her square glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent, Mr. Green—outstanding Transfiguration. I award five points to Ravenclaw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She strode forward, ignoring the gasps of the surrounding students,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her eyes fixed only on Wizard Sean, whose focus made him seem shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After class, come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean blinked slightly, then murmured, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transfiguration class ended quickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the students streamed out of the classroom, leaving only Wizard Sean and Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall watched Wizard Sean, still hearing the whispers of the students:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—rumors that a certain Ravenclaw had earned the most house points, even double that of the second-place student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her usual sternness slowly softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had plucked a seed from barren soil,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and now she watched it grow and sprout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me, Mr. Green.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swiftly exited the Transfiguration classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s office was nearby; as he pushed open the wooden door, Wizard Sean glanced around for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small study on the second-floor corridor, with a roaring fireplace and a window overlooking the Quidditch pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many young witches and wizards had already gathered there, as Gryffindor’s Flying lesson with Slytherin was about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demonstrate the Transfiguration again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s stern voice had unconsciously softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean quickly realized: this was a private lesson—a personal tutorial from Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left her office, his Intermediate Transfiguration had improved significantly, and he now held a Transfiguration notebook,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in which Professor McGonagall had answered many of his questions and pointed him toward the core of Transfiguration: the wizard’s will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like all magic, Transfiguration is influenced by the wizard’s emotions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>strong feelings—such as grief or shock—can disrupt this ability, even affecting Animagi and Metamorphmagi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, after Sirius’s death, Tonks struggled to control her transformations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair turned gray-brown and grew thin and long; her body grew thinner as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was hurrying toward the dungeons; unlike other Ravenclaws, he did not go to the Quidditch pitch to watch Gryffindor’s Flying lesson,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>though he was equally interested in it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for he always knew what he needed to do, not what he wanted to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogwarts’ corridors at twilight seemed enchanted with a Slow spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torches flickered on iron brackets, stretching swaying shadows across the stone walls, where dozing portraits emitted rhythmic snores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As footsteps echoed through the archway toward the west, sunlight vanished behind the glass windows, and the air grew suddenly damp and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spiral stone staircase appeared in a recess hidden by a tapestry, icy cold rising up the steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean ascended the stairs with ease, silently thinking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how should he explain himself if he met Professor Snape, to leave unharmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Wizard Sean saw nothing, and his emerald eyes brightened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved swiftly to the cauldron, lit the flame, prepared the ingredients, and pulled out his notebook—all in one smooth motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had brewed at least ten batches of Boil-Cure Potion; in his simulations, that number multiplied tenfold,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so he knew every step intimately, even capable of minor improvements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid in the cauldron emitted a reassuring gurgle, its thick, ink-green surface bubbling and bursting continuously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>powdered stinging nettles and venomous fangs ground into a fine emerald-green powder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean carefully added them to the cauldron in stages; each addition caused the liquid to boil violently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at which point he must immediately stir three full turns to the right—half a turn too little or too much would ruin everything,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet he did not do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For magic, he had always understood one truth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it is a miracle of the mind, yet it can coexist with reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His study of spells taught him that while a wizard’s mental state matters, precise pronunciation and gestures make spellcasting easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet young witches and wizards—even professors—had not deeply realized this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>otherwise, the textbook’s description of the Levitation Charm would not simply say “clear pronunciation, deliberate motion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly counts as “clear”? How precisely should the wand move—left or right, wide or narrow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the magical world upheld a survival-of-the-fittest philosophy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for those with talent, they practiced by instinct until success came;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for those without talent, they repeated drills endlessly, waiting for Merlin to grant them instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Transfiguration, Wizard Sean had noticed Michael waving his wand wildly, even repeating the same wrong motion ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean, however, recorded both his correct and incorrect wand movements and pronunciations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>analyzed their differences deeply, sometimes running comparative experiments until exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with a certain ancient intuition, his Transfiguration had advanced rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same applied to Potions; this intuition rarely appeared, but whenever it did, Wizard Sean refused to let it slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Wizard Sean altered his stirring motion, following an instinct—and even slightly increased the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dungeon, candlelight flickered; in a place Wizard Sean could not see, a pair of gloomy eyes surfaced in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","27390bc8ed43cb962eee3316113b0917f69131406492cc72f1f616483211fc63","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-47","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-45",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
