Seeing everyone copying notes carefully in class, Professor McGonagall showed a look of satisfaction on her face. Compared to Gryffindor House, where he is the dean, Professor McGonagall actually feels better about Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff in this regard.

After all, Ravenclaw students have a love for knowledge, while Hufflepuff students are more well-behaved. So they tend to listen carefully and take notes in class.

As for Slytherin students, because their families have property, they usually only listen to the parts that interest them, and are not so serious about the parts that they are not interested in.

Professor McGonagall was most annoyed by the Gryffindor students, because these students from their own house were simply out of character and often distracted in class.

Although there are many factors that determine a person's magic level in the wizarding world, the most influential one is talent.

But if you want to bring out those talents, you still need to study hard and do various exercises after class. In the eyes of Professor McGonagall, people like Hugo are the kind of people who are both talented and willing to work hard and study hard.

I have to say that the professor's guess is very accurate, because due to the system, Hugo's talent can be said to be one of the best among his peers, not to mention a ship girl like Veneto.

As for Hermione, although she is a wizard born into a purely ordinary family, according to some ancient records, wizards born into ordinary families who do not know magic are often more talented in magic.

Therefore, in actual operation, when Hugo and the three of them had turned the geckos into exquisitely crafted combs according to Professor McGonagall's requirements, most of the students in the classroom were still waving their magic wands and repeatedly practicing judicial techniques. and the pronunciation of the incantation.

"Very good! I want to add ten points to Ravenclaw." After looking at the combs in front of Hugo and the others, Professor McGonagall had a smile on her face.

"And I think you don't need to do your homework today, because I can see from this comb that you have a solid grasp of knowledge in this area, so there is no need to waste time on homework."

Professor McGonagall's words immediately made all the students present look envious on their faces. Not to mention that in almost every Transfiguration class recently, they always ranked among the top three in the class and gained extra points for their college. Writing homework is enough to make those students admire them from the bottom of their hearts.

After the bell rang, Professor McGonagall signaled Hugo and the others to stay after leaving their homework, and then asked everyone to leave the classroom. After everyone left, Professor McGonagall took the three of them to his office.

"Okay, everyone, sit down, don't be nervous." After watching the three people sit down, Professor McGonagall said, "I just want to ask you some questions. Of course, these questions are not just private questions, no. It will be linked to any situation in the school.”

"Excuse me, Professor McGonagall." After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Hugo vaguely guessed what she wanted to talk to the three of them. And the question that Professor McGonagall asked later turned out to be the one that he had guessed before.

"I remember that you borrowed a book called "Transformation and Combat" from the restricted book section a while ago. Can you tell me why you did this?" Professor McGonagall sat behind the desk and stared at Hugo and the others and asked. .

"Because of the last attack, Professor McGonagall." Hugo immediately replied, "Although I'm not sure whether that attack was caused by a real monster coming out of the secret room, or whether some people were pretending to be a ghost. But we can tell This attack demonstrates a very clear hatred towards students like us from non-wizarding backgrounds."

"So for safety reasons, we must master some self-defense capabilities. But we didn't learn much useful things in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class either last year or this year."

"That's right, so after we discussed it privately, we went to ask the seniors what to do." At this time, Veneto continued Hugo's words.

"After eliminating books that might be dangerous to study at our age, we found that the content of this book should be able to help us."

"So that's it..." After Hugo and the others explained the current situation, Professor McGonagall showed a thoughtful expression.

The reason why she wanted to ask Hugo and the others this question today was also very simple, because as the executive vice-principal of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall had the responsibility to manage school affairs. Lower grade students like this borrowed books from the restricted book area. Things naturally fall within his jurisdiction.

After Hugo and the others disclosed their method of borrowing books to the entire Ravenclaw Academy, students in Ravenclaw Academy immediately began to obtain borrowing slips from the restricted book area through Lockhart's channels.

Although they consciously control the frequency of borrowing books, this little trick cannot be hidden from Professor McGonagall, who has worked in the school for decades.

In fact, it is an open secret at Hogwarts to peek at books in the Restricted Section without permission. Even Professor McGonagall had done this before, so the school would not react too radically to this incident.

However, considering the physical and mental safety of students, professors often seek out those who they believe lack the ability to study the content in these books and issue warnings to them and prevent them from this dangerous practice.

An important purpose of Professor McGonagall's meeting with Hugo and the others today was to see if they were capable enough to master the knowledge in those books.

It has to be said that Hugo had previously informed the entire Ravenclaws of this method and cleared a large part of his suspicions. At least now Professor McGonagall believed the reason Hugo said for borrowing the book. Rather than thinking that he was some kind of person with ulterior motives.

After all, Voldemort's methods left a deep impression on the professors at Hogwarts, so the professors in the school have passed down the instructions orally from generation to generation. Those who gain knowledge by taking advantage of loopholes when learning magic, and then avoid others and eat alone are often the targets of professors' observation.

Fortunately, although Hugo and the others made a marginal move, their overall approach was still within the rules. What's more, they didn't hide this channel.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall only wanted to find out what happened to Hugo and the others after they borrowed the book.

"It's not a bad thing to learn some self-defense magic at this time." After thinking quietly for a few seconds, Professor McGonagall looked at Hugo and the others and said.

"And I also know that for you children, you always think that the things in the forbidden book area are better than the things outside, so you always want to take a look."

"But the reason why the restricted book area is a restricted book area is because the books there are dangerous to a certain extent." At this point, Professor McGonagall began to persuade Hugo and the others.

"So I want to hear how you keep yourself safe while studying?"

"After we got the book, we also found that the difficulty of the book was too difficult for us, and it was basically impossible for us to study by ourselves." Hermione said at this time. "So we asked Professor Halsey to tutor us."
