Chapter 637： Animagus

After the game, Harry gave a brief victory speech in the dressing room.

"I'm so proud of you, each of you are amazing! Katie, she has shown extraordinary courage and determination despite all the criticism she may have suffered -"

He called out one by one, and behind him was a huge schematic diagram of Quidditch tactics. This is also the 'legacy' left by Wood, with small people of various colors, arrows and some strange marks squirming on it, and Harry still does not fully understand their meaning.

"I didn't think about it that much," Katie said, shaking her head.

"Demirza, hit three **** one by one against two opponents"

Demirza smiled.

"Perks and Gut, you cooperated tacitly, repeatedly saving teammates from distress, and creating opportunities for offense-"

The two batters grinned and applauded enthusiastically.

"Ron stopped five balls, one of which was particularly good;" said Harry quickly, trying not to look at Ron's odd, stiff face, and to keep his eyes next to him. "Ginny, sixty-one, A remarkable achievement—"

"And you, the best Seeker," Ginny said with a pursed lip.

Harry pretended not to hear the coaxing voices from the other players' mouths, and said in agreement: "Yeah, and I caught the Golden Snitch." The content of the speech was brought over, because the impression was too deep, it was very smooth to say at this moment. Katie covered her mouth and laughed, and Harry blushed a little and announced the end.

The players giggled out of the locker room, and Ginny kissed Harry on the corner of the mouth and floated away like a ballerina.

For a while, only Harry and Ron were left in the locker room.

Harry glanced guiltily into the corner, Ron's expression still gloomy. He opened his mouth and said:

"Ron, Ginny and I." At this moment, the door opened from the outside, and Hermione called to them, "Isn't it over yet? We're going to be late, make an appointment with Hagrid!"

"It's out.\"

Harry muttered, and took the initiative to pull Ron forward, but Ron fell straight to the ground, making a loud echo.

Harry was startled, and Hermione hurried over after hearing the sound. The two studied for a long time, and finally found that Ron had been hit with the Petrification Charm and the Glue Jaw Charm. "Ginny did it! How dare she?" Ron rubbed his cheeks, indignant at what had happened to him. By this time they were in Hagrid's hut, and Ron used a tongue cramp as an excuse to reject Hagrid's homemade fudge.

"Your sister is joking, I've already seen that," Hagrid said absently, flipping the sizzling sausages with his tongs. "How are you doing? I mean your advanced class."

Harry immediately put down the fudge covered with tooth marks, and poured bitterness on Hagrid with Ron and Hermione. One side said how strict the new professor was, and the other side said that the course was difficult and boring, and regretted not continuing to choose to protect magical creatures. Lessons are clouded. Hagrid was delighted to hear that.

He handed them the oily, slightly charred sausage, and the three took it (including Ron) at once, and while Hagrid was making tea, Harry quickly stuffed his tooth-sticky fudge into Fang's mouth.

Hermione glared at Harry and gritted her teeth, not daring to follow suit.

"You guys are definitely exaggerating to make me laugh," Hagrid said with a laugh, and after he filled the glass with boiling water, he continued: "Slughorn--Definitely has the ability, though I didn't learn it from him. What...you know, I was expelled in the third grade." He said vaguely, "That Professor Bagshot is not easy, I guess he and Dumbledore are old acquaintances, the kind that have a closer relationship..."

"How did you do it (how did you know that)?" Ron said with a full mouth.

"Yo!" Hagrid laughed. "I saw it with my own eyes. When I was patrolling the Forbidden Forest in the morning, I saw them walking together from a distance, maybe they were talking about things... I found it more than once."

"Probably discussing what Professor Bagshot is teaching," Harry said after thinking. "His class is quite controversial."

"I don't know about that." Hagrid said stunned, "he even came to me to ask about the school.

- A very good person, making people feel like a spring breeze. He's also very interested in Grapp Jr., which is rare..."

The three of them didn't get along. For the rest of the time, they happily ate grilled sausages and sipped hot tea, until Hermione offered to study Animagos tomorrow morning, Harry and Ron began to fidget, and it didn't take long for them to leave.

Back in the lounge, Harry and Ron couldn't wait to borrow notes from Hermione and prepare for a night battle. But Hermione lent the notes to Neville, and they found Neville again and temporarily copied two notes from him with the Copy Charm,

The three sat together frowning.

Hermione took out the Book of Rune and began to read.

"How much have you watched?" Ron asked Neville.

"Not much," Neville whispered, "I'm not very good at Transfiguration, there is a lot of knowledge about human body transformation, and I can't understand many theories.

Ron sighed and turned to look at Harry.

"I remember you watched a little too?"

"It's all failures," said Harry, sullenly. "I used it to relieve my boredom, and I was so frightened that it said that if the practice was wrong, it could lead to an extra tail or a nose."

"I don't know how Sirius they did it," muttered Ron.

They opened Hermione's notes and began to read. It turned out to be a surprise that Hermione didn't fully understand it either. She marked a lot of questions in her notes, and it seemed that she was going to ask questions tomorrow. The three discussed in a low voice, and finally agreed that if even Hermione felt embarrassed, there was no need for them to waste time.

So decisively skip these difficulties, and the progress is greatly accelerated.

When the lights were about to go out, Harry yawned tearfully, he had only finished a third of the way through, and now his mind was full of confusion, and in a trance he saw the light in Hermione's eyes.

"Hermione, your eyes—"

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

"Looks like it's glowing," Harry said honestly, and Ron and Neville raised their heads and stared at her carefully.

"How is it possible, I didn't use magic again." Hermione said, and Harry thought he had read it wrong, so he patiently continued to read the notes, and after a while, Hermione went upstairs to rest, the lights in the lounge were dim down.

Ron yawned and cast the Bright Fire Charm, sending a circle of white flames swirling around them. Harry and Neville's hairs stood on end, and they were instantly refreshed. They stayed up until one or two in the morning before going to bed.

The next day, Harry was woken up by Hermione's pet Crookshanks.

Harry woke Ron and Neville again, and by the time they got dressed and went down, Hermione was already waiting at the door, and they knocked on the staff lounge door before they even had breakfast. When the door opened, Harry, Ron and Neville were still gobbling down the bear biscuits from Hermione.

"It's just a few of you." Felix said kindly.

They walked in and found that the tables and chairs in the staff lounge were piled into the corner, leaving a large area in the middle. Professor McGonagall was wearing an emerald green tartan robe, and her hair was pulled back into a high bun. Serious expression.

The four Harry mixed into the crowd and were surprised to find that there were a few more people they didn't know today, all of whom seemed to be seventh graders. On the floor in front of Professor McGonagall was a golden circle about two feet in diameter.

"Okay, students," said Professor McGonagall solemnly, "there are a few new faces among you who are the leaders of the Transfiguration Club and will be joining you in class." He passed the crowd, leaned against the wall, and looked at them with interest.

Professor McGonagall continued: "Many of you don't actually have the qualifications to learn Animagus, you just got excellent in the O.W.Ls exam of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, showing a certain potential one by one"

She pursed her lips, obviously disapproving of the last professor's decision.

She had always felt that Sirius' bet was too much of a game.

"One-by-one, I ask you to go all out, put forth more effort, and face this matter with the most rigorous attitude. There are many rules that you need to abide by. If I find that you violate any of them, I will take no action. Relentlessly kicked you out of the classroom."

Professor McGonagall glanced around majestically, and the students were silent and did not dare to make a sound.

Professor Happ smiled at them from behind Professor McGonagall, who was in a good mood today. In Classroom 7, Voldemort's mind, hiding in Hogwarts Castle and afraid to come out, Tom Riddle finally took a crucial step, he found an ancient document in the forbidden area of ​​the library' - that was the Gaunt family An ancestor's note, the content on it is obscure and difficult to understand, and few people care about it.

After repeated comparisons, Riddle concluded that Gaunt's notes were genuine, and he was ecstatic, believing that it was a gift from his ancestors, destined to belong to him.

He tore off the first few pages, and asked the professors in the school in random order, and found that this was the book about the Patronus spell. After that, he spent several months scrutinizing word by word, figuring out the powerful Patronus magic recorded in the book. Amazing, the essence of this kind of magic is not only to deal with dementors, but similar to summoning magic, to create a group of concrete products of spiritual power that is not afraid of death.

But unfortunately, the content of the notes is incomplete and there is a lack of detailed learning methods. There is only one prompt to provoke Riddle's eager heart, 'mobilize the power of the mind and tap the moving in life. ' Thinking of what happened that night, the three 'dead' fellow idiots, Riddle came to the conclusion that he perfected this magic in the future, and took the initiative to teach it to others to act as thugs to fight against the black. The wizard Dumbledore.

A brand new road appeared before Tom Riddle's eyes, and it was very bright. He was going to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Minister of Magic, and he was going to use Hogwarts students and Ministry Aurors to drown his enemies with an improved army of Patronus.

After thinking for a long time, at the end of the sixth grade, he found Principal Dippet and expressed his desire to stay at the school after graduation, even as a teaching assistant.

With unrighteous thoughts and noble deeds, Tom Riddle was smug. "I've covered the difference between transfiguration and animagus transfiguration, in a nutshell,

The former is passive, once the magician can't release the curse independently; the latter is an active choice, and the wizard can decide when to restore his human form. It is important to note that human sanity will gradually disappear in both cases, but in very different times…”

"The Waggardu School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Africa has done a lot of research on this, and some of the information you have is derived from this," Professor McGonagall said. It's not the same - if you've really read the material." Her last sentence became stern,

Many students bowed their heads in guilt.

"Those are improvements made by Professor Hepp and I, and we will do our best to keep you safe, but if anyone wants to withdraw, they can come forward now."

The students put their heads together and began to whisper quickly.

"What does Professor McGonagall mean?" Ron asked Hermione in a low voice, Harry pricked up his ears to listen, and saw Susan Burns and Justin, Ernie look worried, and Professor McGonagall led the way. The members of the Transfiguration Club who came here looked as usual, obviously they already knew this knowledge in advance.

"Simply put, the learning steps change," Hermione said briefly.

Harry looked up at the ceiling, trying to recall what was in Hermione's notes, and he could clearly recite the first step, that from the first full moon to the end of the next, the caster had to hold a piece of mandrake in his mouth The leaves of the spit, without swallowing the leaves or taking out the mouth; after this step, the saliva-saturated leaves must be put into the crystal vial at the full moon, and a hair of one's own hair and a Silver teaspoon of dew.

In fact, there are also requirements for the source of the dew, Harry thought, as if to find the dew that has never been exposed to the sun, and finally add a pupae of the grimace hawkmoth. Combining storms are coming...

"You can wait until the end of this class to decide," Professor McGonagall said. "So I won't explain too advanced content today, such as the method of controlling magic power in human transformation, which has been proven in practice to effectively reduce Ani Margos' learning difficulty Felix?"

Felix, who had become a teaching assistant, stretched out a hand lazily and waved it in front of the students. They were a little unclear at first, but then they opened their mouths in surprise—Professor Hepp's right hand was slowly elongated, like the claw of some kind of carnivore, with thick and powerful joints, and the curvature of the radius of the forearm reminded them of A series of words such as "strong" and "ruthless", the back of the professor's right hand and wrist are covered with a layer of fluff, and five long nails protrude out.

Felix raised his arm and made five deep scratches on the wall, which spattered with sparks and made a harsh sour sound.

"Oh, thanks, Felix, that's alright," said Professor McGonagall in an unusual tone.

Felix shook his hand, the hair on his arm fell off, and he turned back to a human appearance, but all the students were still staring at the skin on his arm in a daze. They were eager to know what kind of creature the professor used as the transformation template. If It is estimated that complete biological individuals can trample them to death.

"What you are seeing is a relatively high-level deformation, and you don't need to consider the same as Professor Haipu." Professor McGonagall said with some anxiety, "We continue to need a volunteer next, who is willing to cooperate with the demonstration?"

Several arms were raised with trembling faces, and Professor McGonagall finally chose Susan Burns.

"Stand in the circle in front of me, stand...Miss Burns." Professor McGonagall commanded, Felix walked over, and the two of them stared at Susan Burns at the same time, which made her a little scared. "Don't worry," Professor McGonagall reassured: "It's just a layer of insurance. I will observe the whole process and stop it immediately if there is an accident."

The other students formed a circle, their eyes flashing with anticipation.

"What do I need, Professor?" Susan Burns asked in a trill.

"Try to stay awake," Felix said, sounding like Susan was about to endure some inhuman pain, and she took a cringe step back, even the other students thought so.

Felix cleared the noise and explained: "I will cast Transfiguration to turn you into a small animal, during which you must try to stay calm to counter the growing wild impulses and avoid being driven by instinct. ...of course, Professor McGonagall and I will change you back before you get out of hand."

"This is just a demonstration. When it comes to the real practice, Minerva and I will slow down the process as much as possible to give you plenty of time to experience the subtle changes in human body transformation, which will be in the real Animagus. Transfiguration plays a vital role. Last question, Miss Burns, what animal do you like?"

"I like unicorns," Susan whispered.

"No, I mean... ordinary animals."

"Maybe it's the bunny," said Susan uncertainly.

"Rabbit? Good, stand firm."

Felix took out a wand that he didn't use very often from his pocket, pointed at Susan, and with a "bang", Susan disappeared in place, replaced by a fluffy rabbit with gray fur. Rabbit shrieked and stayed in the golden circle.

"The others back off, don't scare her," said Professor McGonagall sharply.

The students who got closer slammed back with reluctance in their eyes, and the people standing behind were desperately on tiptoes, trying to see more clearly.

Felix squatted down and looked at the trembling gray rabbit in front of him.

"Calm down, Burns, I have a good relationship with your aunt, and she will trouble me if you get hurt.

So nothing to be afraid of. "Felix said softly, and Susan became a rabbit calmed down and looked around curiously. From this perspective, her classmates were taller than giants.

This made her feel a little nervous.

"How are you feeling now?" Felix asked.

There was an anthropomorphic thinking look in the small eyes of the gray rabbit, and it called out twice briefly.

"Oh, you can't talk now... I'll ask you a question next, you just have to nod or shake your head. Always remember that you're a witch, and the longer you stay sane, the better... Do you like winter?"

Rabbit hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Very good, next question, are you a Ravenclaw student?" Rabbit shook his head.

"Do you like pink?" Rabbit nodded and it took nearly ten minutes. Clearly, bystanders noticed that the rabbit's reaction speed was getting slower and slower, mixed with nervous glances and ears turning alertly. Harry swallowed, watching the bunny's eyes gradually lose their alertness.

He glanced at Draco Malfoy, and as expected, his face turned unusually pale.

"Felix—" Professor McGonagall called hesitantly.

"Do you still know who I am?" Felix asked. This time, the gray rabbit ignored him and started licking the fluff on his front paws. Felix asked again, but he still didn't get it. respond.

"Felix!" said Professor McGonagall sharply.

As if frightened, the gray rabbit jumped forward and jumped outside the golden circle. Felix calmly raised his wand. After the loud noise, Susan Burns returned to his original state.

Professor McGonagall walked over to hug her and patted Susan on the shoulder comfortingly. Felix handed a bottle of softener to Professor McGonagall, who temporarily acted as Madam Pomfrey. After drinking the potion, Susan's expression softened.

"I remember that you experienced Professor Moody's Imperius Curse in fourth grade?" Felix said, "If you choose to continue your studies, you will experience this feeling many times, but the good thing is that you are practicing Anima. Gus's process is escorted by two professors, and there is no risk of irreversible magic damage. The success rate is very high...

You have a week to weigh. "

"Okay, who else wants to try it now?"**
