Snap kept displaying his daggers floating in front of him as they continued to reveal their unique details to all who looked, wondering what kind of weapon it was.

"Is that a Muggle weapon?" Lucinda asked beside him, with a hint of disgust in her voice.

"You could say that," Snape responded, not caring whether the girl would like the answer or not.

Minerva had stopped looking stunned and tapped her wand for a diagnostic... leaving her even more surprised and turning her gaze back to the boy in front of her. "Mr. Snape, I must admit you've done an excellent job here, surpassing all expectations. You've managed to make your objectives 100% iron," she said, though she wanted to know more about how Snape had so perfectly executed the task on the first try and in duplicate at the same time. "But I've never seen a student perform this kind of thing on two objects at the same time in their fifth year, and I don't recall you having such a great talent for transmigration," she commented, looking at him like a hawk.

Snape did not take his eyes off the blades and answered the question. "I wasn't very interested in transmigration before, but I might have changed my mind, and you could say I studied quite a bit during my holidays, as I re-read all the books from the first year," he said calmly.

Professor Minerva had to raise an eyebrow at that, as if true, Snape would become a dedicated student in her subject. "That's surprising," she said, a bit taken aback, but nonetheless looked at the rest of the class. "You may continue with the exercise now. It would be good to follow Mr. Snape's example," the professor said as she nodded one last time to Snape before going back to assist some students, while everyone resumed practicing, still looking at Snape from time to time.

Meanwhile, the girl next to him, Lucinda, didn't stop asking even with her disdain for Muggle weapons. "How did you do that? I didn't know you were so incredible at transmigration," she said, waiting for a good response from Snape.

"I wasn't," he said dryly. "Just recently discovered that transmigration is quite useful. Maybe before I didn't see the potential in it, but it's certainly important," he admitted.

For Snape, it was a fascinating magical path, after all, being able to transform objects into others could be quite fatal on a battlefield, even for him, who was a guardian, this ability could have made his life much easier over the years.

'It was good to look at them, but now they are in the past and it's better for me not to get stuck in that now,' Snape thought, as he made some movement with his wand and the daggers twisted in the air until they transformed back into the previous object, half of a broken quill on each side.

The student tried to talk to Snape after that, but he ignored her as she attempted to do the same with her quill, without much success, and the same could be said for the rest of the class, as the lesson continued and all the students, whether Slytherin or Gryffindor, tried numerous times, but without any success.

Bored, Snape opened the book and started moving to the advanced chapters, but the entire chapter talked about how to perform the transmigration he had just done up to the middle of the book, and Snape didn't find all that theory very useful.

'I have a lot of scientific knowledge... But I still lack a lot of information in some specific areas...' he thought, knowing that Hogwarts couldn't provide everything he wanted.

'I owe a visit to the public library or even go buy some encyclopedias at a Muggle bookstore to acquire scientific books. After all, unlike everyone here, I think it's important to mix Muggle study with magic, since the understanding is much greater in what you do with your wand, and it could improve various magical areas...' he thought, and he might even find many answers to his current problems.
