Chapter 40: Transfiguration Class! Part-3

{Transfiguration Classroom, Hogwarts}

{2nd Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

...

'Metamorfóno Métallo~, Metamorfóno Métallo~, Metamorfóno Métallo~, Metamorfóno Métallo~' Rigel kept mumbling in his head as he focused on performing the wand movements of the spell, he could once again feel the colors of his wand, or rather more accurately the mana flowing through his wand shift as he went through the wand movements of the spell.

The way spells worked, at least from what his mana senses revealed to him, was that just by holding your wand in your hand a small amount of your mana weaves through it. The color of the mana depends on two things, the intent behind the spell and the wand movements. 

As his wand moved through the air, the mana it contained changed from one color to another, the changing color also depended on the wand movements that happened before and the wand movements that followed.

Let's say he takes the first spell as an example. 

The wand movements to the material changing spell that changes the material of the match to metal were a combination of two moves. The first motion was a circular spiral with the tip of his wand, and at the same time, he had to pull his wand backward. When he focuses on turning the match into a needle and thinks about the incantation of the spell, the mana, which was originally blue turns into a soft green.

Rigel was okay with this change, having learned all the charms from the charms textbook he knew what he was doing. If he did some other motion like flicking his wand upward then the mana color would change to red indicating that the function or intent of the spell had changed. 

After practicing a few times he focused on the match and thought, 'Metamorfóno Métallo~'. He smoothly pulled back his wand in a circular motion before he pushed his wand through the imaginary spiral he had created and aimed at the match. A spell formed and the green-colored mana left his wand, it was invisible to the naked eye but when it came into contact with the match it stuck to it and started spreading all over it.

His first transfiguration attempt was not as successful as he had hoped as the spell failed to affect the entire match. The match did turn more shiny as it changed from a brown piece of wood to a mix-matched texture of iron and wood.

He stared at the match for a moment as he thought about what went wrong, he closed his eyes as he tried to imagine the difference between his and Prof. Minerva's attempt at casting the spell.

'The spell didn't cover the entire match, was it because I underpowered it, till now just 1 mana point had been enough for all the first-year charms, maybe Transfiguration is a lot more taxing.' Rigel thought. 

He wanted to attempt the spell again but with a half-metal match, the results would not be comparable so he could only turn to Prof. McGonagall. "Professor, can you turn my match back to wood?" Rigel requested.

...

Minerva was walking through the Gryffindor seats when Rigel's voice got her attention, she turned around to find a match that was half turned into iron. She waved her wand reversing the change. 

"Thank you," Rigel spoke as he turned back to his match, he noticed that the Professor was looking at him so this time he went through the proper motions as he incanted the spell out loud, "Metamorfóno Métallo~"

He repeated the same motions and used the same amount of mana but in a rather surprising turn of events, the match slowly turned into iron. From his mana sense, he could see green mana sticking to it as it slowly changed the very nature of the whole match.

Rigel was pretty sure he didn't change the amount of mana he used so the change was surprising, although a welcome addition. He opened his status to make sure that nothing had changed and sure enough, his mana was at 344, exactly 2 points less.

"Good Job Mr.Black, that was a flawless attempt at the first part of the spell, why don't you try the second part out?" Minerva asked and Rigel nodded. He turned back and focused on the iron match in front of him.

He imagined a sharp pointy needle as he drew his wand in an inverse triangle and spoke, "Metamorfóno Aichmirós~" This time the metal match slowly changed shape as it sharpened, the light red spell slowly changing the shape of the match as it slowly resembled a needle. 

'Huh it worked, but why didn't I get any notification for learning a spell though? Normally that process is quite quick.' Rigel thought as Prof. McGonagall walked over to his seat and picked up the shiny needle, she touched it against her finger testing its sharpness before she cancelled the transfiguration and picked up a match to examine it more carefully. 

With a swift flick, the match lit up a soft blue, she turned to look at Rigel with a surprised expression.

"You have a very good affinity for the magical branch of Transfiguration it seems Mr. Black... 10 Points to Slytherin for learning the basics of the match to needle transfiguration. What I need you to do now is try and combine the effects of both of these spells into one." Minerva spoke as she pointed her wand at another match and instead of a circular spiral as he did for the material changing part of the spell, she used a triangular spiral and then pushed her wand through it like he did as she incanted, "Morfóno AichmMétallo~"

A pale blue light emerged from her wand as it swiftly transformed the match into a sharp needle, after making sure Rigel got it she reversed the transfiguration and placed the match in front of him. 

"Do you know the finite charm?" Minerva asked and upon getting a confident nod she continued, "That should get rid of any partial transfigurations be careful though as it only works on inanimate to inanimate transfiguration." Professor McGonagall spoke before she gave him a small smile and then walked away. 

Rigel closed his eyes again as he focused on the sensation of Prof. McGoanagall's last spell, the final spell was a little confusing it gave him a little insight as to how spell creation worked, at least some form of it. 

'The final spell had traces of both the spells combined, but maybe the reason I didn't get a new spell was that it was not a spell recognized by canon or was it something else?' Rigel thought, the questions remained in his mind but he put them aside for now. 

He opened his eyes and looked at the spells, before experimenting he needed to learn the spell. So he picked up his wand again and focused, the thought of turning the match into a needle was at the forefront of his mind as he repeated Prof. McGonagall's actions.

"Morfóno AichmMétallo~" This time a semi-translucent spell emerged from his wand, the thin layer of moving spell was visible as it impacted the match and slowly it transformed into a needle. The whole process took 5 seconds, it was slower than Professor's spell by 4 seconds but at least the spell worked. A popup window appeared in front of him informing him of the newly learned spell.

...

[New Spell learned!]

[Spell: Basic Metal Generalized Transfiguration unlocked!]

...

'Huh, that was a generalized spell, didn't Professor tell us that this wasn't a generalized spell?' Rigel thought but before he could ponder some more, Daphne nudged him slightly and asked, "How did you do that?"

Chapter 41: The Boy-Who-Knows-Nothing! Part-1

{Transfiguration Classroom, Hogwarts}

{2nd Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

...

"How did you do that?" Daphne asked, she had been trying the first spell and there had been no change in her match as of yet. She followed the spells perfectly, her pronunciation was good and even her wand movements were kind of okay. She couldn't help but figure out why Rigel succeded and she failed.

"I just followed the steps," Rigel replied. She frowned at him so he motioned for her to do the spell, "Go on let me see what you are doing..." 

Rigel focused on the mana traveling through Daphne's wand, Daphne's mana was a soft light violet in color and it remained like that until she began doing the spiral wand movement. Instead of the light blue color that Rigal and Minerva's mana gained upon using the material change spell, it turned a pale white and then switched color to red as she completed the thrusting movement and spoke, "Metamorfóno Métallo~"

Nothing happened yet again as the mana fizzled out of her wand having no structure. She turned to Rigel with a raised eyebrow, "See nothing happened I did everything right."

"Did you translate the symbols and the spell?" Rigel asked and she showed him her notes. Her notes were correct so the only thing that could be wrong now was her intent.

"And what are you focusing on turning this match into?" Rigel asked.

"A needle obviously," Daphne replied. Rigel gave her a deadpanned look which caused Daphne to look at her notes again before she gave him another questioning look.

"What?" She asked. 

"Your intent is wrong, you are thinking about the end product while the spell you translated is just transforming a match into a metal match. Try again but this time think about turning this wooden match into a metal one, think about the changing metal and not the shape." Rigel explained. Daphne gave him a thankful look before she turned to her match and focused.

Rigel watched in fascination as her mana in the wand changed into the same soft green color. As she finished the wand movements and inchanted the spell, the mana that was gathered in her wand, exited the wand in a small compact packet and quickly covered the whole match. He could see the whole match quickly turn metallic as the change in its color was obvious.

"Congrats," Rigel congratulated as the blond gave him a big smile. "Try the second spell." Rigel urged her and she focused on her metal match once again. Rigel on the other hand focused back on his observations.

'Each spell has its own unique color, at least from the small sample size that I have. As the number of spells increased I would notice some overlapping colors so identifying spells with my mana senses would become a tedious process in a duel. But it could still be done if my senses level up as well.' Rigel thought. 

He focused on his needle and pointed his wand at it, "Finite~" 

The cancellation charm worked like a...charm and reversed the transfiguration. It was quite similar to what happened when Professor McGonagall did it to his wand but when he looked at the still glowing desk he realized that the first implementation was a bit different.

'She didn't use finite then as that would have turned the desk back into a normal one. She transfigured an already transfigured pig and re-transfigured it back to a table... I wonder how it does work.' Rigel thought as he looked at the match in front of him. He decided to test his theory as he transfigured the match back into a needle and then he focused on transfigurating the needle into a small hammer. 

The spell this time was a darker green in color and Rigel was quite happy at the successful spell but it failed to work on the needle as it dissipated into thin air.

'Hmm it doesn't work like this,' Rigel thought as he used finite~ again and turned the needle into a match. He used the hammer spell again and this time it worked, while one end of the hammer became sharp like the needle, the other end became a hybrid of a needle head and a hammerhead with a hole in the middle.

'Okay... so it didn't work as well as I thought. The wand movements and the intent didn't match, the spell worked because a hammer and the needle had some overlap but I was using the same sharp suffix that I had been taught.' Rigel thought, the process and final result made sense but Daphne poked him in the side and reminded him, "Professor McGonagall said no messing around." 

Rigel gave Daphne an eye roll but he did stop messing around with spells in the classroom, he would have plenty of time later. The rest of the class went by in a breeze as only 10 minutes remained in the lecture.

When the class ended, Rigel put his notes in his bag, and Prof.McGonagall gave them homework of writing their insights about the two spells they had learned today. She didn't teach anyone the mixed version of the spell as aside from Rigel, Daphne, and Hermione no one else had managed to follow the first two spells by the end of class.

His walk out of the classroom was interrupted when Harry's voice interrupted him, "Hey, Rigel? Can we talk?" 

The weird silence that had followed him throughout the morning was a little deafening as he gave Harry a curious look, his facial expressions and his stance indicated that he wasn't hostile so he nodded to Mr.Progtagonist and spoke, "Follow me!"

Daphne gave him a questioning look but he did motion for her to go on without him. Everyone gave the two of them curious glances and Ron was the last one to leave the class as he had a concerned look on his face. 

"Alright, not here, follow me," Rigel spoke as he left the classroom, sure enough, plenty of his peers were hanging around hoping to eavesdrop, giving everyone a loose glare he pushed through the crowd and quickly found an empty classroom. 

"In here," Rigel spoke and Harry followed him in without hesitation. Rigel didn't know if it was a sign of bravery or idiocy but he left that for later as he closed the door and cast the locking charm on it.

"Colloportus~" Rigel incanted as the red spell collided with the door and his mana seeped into it. 

"What was that spell?" Harry asked, his face a little apprehensive.

"The locking charm," Rigel responded and the green-eyed boy grimaced slightly. Rigel walked over to a desk, used a finger to run across its surface to test how dusted it was, and then hopped onto it. 

"So has Ron not managed to corrupt your thinking yet? Why would you walk into a room with a Slytherin alone?" Rigel joked. 

Harry gave him a confused look before his face turned serious as he spoke, "I want to talk to you about your parents..."

...

...

'Huh...'

AN - How would this talk go? Any guesses?
