Previously, Wizard Sean had associated this warning only with Horcruxes; he had not expected it to appear in Transfiguration as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, Advanced Transfiguration involved transforming “the self” into a “living being,” such as Krum turning his head into a shark;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and transforming “magic” into an “object,” such as Dumbledore’s fire rope being turned into a snake by Tom;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>conversely, transforming an “object” into “magic,” such as Dumbledore turning pool water into a water prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of these fell within the domain of Advanced Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wizard Sean realize that Transfiguration might be the most powerful magic, for it could achieve nearly anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Unlocking Charm—if Wizard Sean transformed a lock into a small stick, would that count as unlocking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder powerful wizards almost always mastered Advanced Transfiguration; when a wizard needed a spell he did not know, Transfiguration could often replicate its effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at Hogwarts, the Transfiguration professor was virtually the heir apparent to the headmaster’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wizard Sean rallied his weary spirit and wrote earnestly on the Replication essay:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Replication, even in magical history, originates from Norse pagan concepts, wherein the belief holds that every person possesses a replication—not merely a spiritual replication, but likely a physical one as well; this is precisely what makes the Scandinavian interpretation so peculiar.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The replication bears our ‘form’ (hamr), follows us, and is our ‘soul’ (hugr).”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, there is not merely “one unique replication,” but at least two: one physical replication, sometimes taking animal form; another spiritual replication, which may also manifest as an animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean found it strangely familiar, and naturally thought of Animagi and the Patronus Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his desk, beside his hand, books—*Intermediate Transfiguration*, *Making Guide to Advanced Transfiguration*, *The Magic of Transfiguration*—were piled into a small mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A deep understanding of a certain historical period is also an essential part of the ritual…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall took a small sip of tea, and as she gazed at Wizard Sean, her eyes grew heavy once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet sigh; even writing an essay, this child gave his full concentration—he had not rested properly in far too long, barely holding on by a thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Green, come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean looked up, confused, and realized it was already six in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Professor Flitwick would spare time to teach him the Disarming Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean packed his books into his satchel, tidied his cluttered desk, and placed his quill into the cat-shaped inkwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye, Professor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean bowed slightly, then felt himself enveloped in gentle warmth; he caught a pleasant scent, and as his consciousness faded, he heard the professor’s voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do not cease your devotion to yourself, Mr. Green… but get a proper rest, go welcome your Friday…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Transfiguration office,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean slept soundly, yet time inexplicably rewound to the beginning of the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re helping him cheat, Minerva.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albus, having returned to noon, smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was unaware Hogwarts had such a rule…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall’s voice remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Albus, if you have nothing else, please leave my office.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore’s smile remained kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I simply did not expect you to apply for a Time-Turner… well, well, Minerva, at least let me look at my old office for a moment longer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He claimed to be examining the office, but his piercing gaze never left Wizard Sean—or the steaming turtle he had Transfigured earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Mr. Green has learned Transfiguration quite well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wizard Sean awoke, half his exhaustion had lifted; Professor McGonagall’s office seemed to hold a kind of magic that eased his tense spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, after resting so long, he had merely dozed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed something, and stepped into the classroom with renewed determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Professor Flitwick glanced at him twice in surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you’re ready to learn the Disarming Charm—you’ve maintained good mental condition, that’s excellent, Mr. Green; it looks like Friday…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor realized he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let us discuss Dark Magic… Mr. Green, tell me, what do you believe Dark Magic is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark Magic, or Black Magic, refers to spells that harm, control, or even kill living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the three Unforgivable Curses, brewing Dark Potions, and breeding Dark creatures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A comprehensive definition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick regarded Wizard Sean with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","24dae9051fd34e62d7a305c474936d231b952039f80955a59103248f8f66a558","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-82","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-80",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
