A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts 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 is amazing! Katie, regardless of the criticism that may be received, has shown extraordinary courage and determination-"
He called the names one by one, behind him was a huge sketch map explaining Quidditch tactics. This is also the 'inheritance' left by Wood, with small figures of various colors, arrows and some strange marks wriggling on it, Harry still hasn't fully understood their meaning.
"I didn't think about it that much," Katie said, shaking her head.
"Dmirza, hit three goals against two opponents one by one"
Demirza smiled.
"Perks and Gut, you cooperate with each other tacitly, and you have repeatedly saved your teammates from danger, and at the same time created opportunities for offense—"
The two batsmen grinned and applauded enthusiastically.
"Ron made five stops, one of which was brilliant;" said Harry quickly, trying not to look at Ron's strange, stiff face, and put his eyes next to him, "Ginny, scored six Very, great achievement—”
"And you, the best Seeker." Ginny pursed her lips and said with a smile.
Harry pretended not to hear the booing voices from the other players, and said in agreement: "Yeah, and I caught the Snitch." Wood's speeches from that year were all brought over, and because he was so impressed, he said it very fluently at the moment. Katie covered her mouth for a laugh, and Harry blushed a little and announced it was over.
The players left the dressing room giggling, Ginny kissed the corner of Harry's mouth, and floated away like a ballet dancer.
For a while, only Harry and Ron were left in the locker room.
Harry glanced into the corner guiltily, Ron still had the gloomy expression. He opened his mouth and said:
"Ron, Ginny and I" At this moment, the door opened from the outside, and Hermione yelled at them: "Isn't it over yet? We're going to be late, make an appointment with Hagrid!"
"Here comes out."
Harry muttered, and took the initiative to pull Ron, but Ron fell straight to the ground, making a loud echo.
Harry was taken aback, and Hermione hurried over after hearing the voice. The two studied for a long time, and finally found that Ron had been hit by the Petrification Curse and the Sticky Jaw Curse. "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 cabin, and Ron used his tongue cramps as an excuse to refuse Hagrid's offer of homemade fudge.
"Your sister loves to joke, I've seen it for a long time." Hagrid said absently, turning over the sizzling sausage with tongs. "How are you doing? I mean your improvement class- "
Harry immediately put down the jellybeans covered with tooth marks, and together with Ron and Hermione, poured bitterness on Hagrid, saying how strict the new professor is here, and saying that the courses are difficult and boring, regretting not continuing to choose Care of Magical Creatures class and so on. Hagrid was delighted to hear that.
He handed them the oily, slightly burnt sausage, and all three of them (including Ron) took it immediately, and Harry quickly put his tooth-sticky cream to the table while Hagrid was making tea. The fudge was stuffed into Tooth's mouth.
Hermione glared at Harry and gritted her teeth, not daring to follow suit.
"You're definitely exaggerating to amuse me," Hagrid said with a chuckle, and after pouring boiling water into the cup, he continued, "Slughorn—definitely had something real, though I didn't What did he learn... You know, I was expelled in the third year." He said vaguely, "Professor Bagshot is not simple, I guess he and Dumbledore are old acquaintances, the kind that are relatively close..."
"How much (how do you know)?" Ron said with his mouth full.
"Yo!" Hagrid smiled, "I saw it with my own eyes. When I was inspecting the Forbidden Forest in the morning, I saw them walking together from a distance, or they might be talking about something... I found out more than once. "
"Probably discussing the content of Professor Bagshot's lecture," Harry thought for a while, "His class is quite controversial."
"I don't know about that." Hagrid said in a daze, "He also came to see me to inquire about the school
——A very good person, making people feel like a spring breeze. He is also very interested in Little Glop, which is really rare..."
The three of them did not agree with each other. For the rest of the time, they happily ate grilled sausages and drank hot tea, until Hermione proposed to learn Animagus tomorrow morning, Harry and Ron began to fidget, and it didn't take long before they said goodbye and left.
Back to the lounge, Harry and Ron couldn't wait to borrow notes from Hermione, ready to burn the night to fight. But Hermione lent the notes to Neville, and they found Neville again, and temporarily copied two notes from him with the copy spell,
The three sat together frowning.
Hermione took out the book of runes and began to read.
"How much have you read?" Ron asked Neville.
"Not much," Neville said in a low voice, "I'm not very good at transfiguration. There's a lot of knowledge about human body transfiguration in it, and I don't understand many theories.
Ron sighed and turned to look at Harry.
"I remember you watched a little too?"
"It's all failure cases," said Harry dejectedly. "I used it to amuse myself, but I was quite frightened. It said that if the practice is wrong, it may lead to an extra tail or a nose."
"I don't know how Sirius and the others did it," Ron muttered.
They opened Hermione's notebook and began to read it dully. In the end, I was surprised to find that Hermione didn't fully understand. She marked a lot of questions in the notes, and it seemed that she was going to ask questions tomorrow. The three discussed in low voices, and finally agreed that if even Hermione finds it difficult, there is no need for them to waste time,
So decisively skip these difficulties, and the progress is greatly accelerated.
As the lights were about to turn off, Harry yawned tearfully. He had only read a third of the way through, and now his mind was muddled.
"Hermione, your eyes—"
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Hermione asked puzzled.
"It seems to be glowing." Harry said honestly, and Ron and Neville looked up and stared at her carefully.
"How is it possible? I didn't use magic." Hermione said, and Harry also thought he was wrong, so he continued to read the notes patiently. After a while, Hermione went upstairs to rest. The lights dimmed.
Ron yawned and cast the Bright Fire Charm, causing a circle of white flames to revolve around them. Harry and Neville's hairs stood on end, and they immediately perked up in fright. They stayed up until one or two in the morning before going to bed.
The next day, Harry was awakened by Hermione's pet Crookshanks tickling him.
Harry woke up Ron and Neville again, and when they got dressed and went down, Hermione was already waiting at the door, and they knocked on the door of the staff lounge without even having breakfast. Harry, Ron and Neville were still gobbling bear biscuits Hermione had offered them when the door opened.
"It's just a few of you." Felix said kindly.
They walked in and found that the desks and chairs in the faculty lounge had been piled up to the corner, leaving a large area in the middle. Professor McGonagall was wearing an emerald green plaid robe, and his hair was pulled back and combed high Hair bun, serious expression.
The four of Harry mixed into the crowd, and were surprised to find that there were a few more people they didn't know today, and they seemed to be seventh-grade students. A golden circle was drawn on the floor in front of Professor McGonagall, about two feet in diameter.
"Okay, students," Professor McGonagall said seriously: "There are some new faces among you, they are the best in the Transfiguration Club, and they will take classes with you." Harry suddenly realized, and at this moment Hai Professor Pu passed through the crowd, leaned against the wall, and looked at them with interest.
Professor McGonagall continued: "Many of you are actually not qualified to learn Animagus, but you just got excellent in the O.W.Ls exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, showing a certain potential one by one "
She pursed her lips, apparently disapproving of the previous professor's decision.
She always felt that Sirius' bet was too childish.
"One by one, I ask you to go all out, make more efforts, 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 kick you out of the classroom without mercy."
Professor McGonagall glanced around majestically, the students were silent and dared not speak out.
Professor Haip smiled at them from behind Professor McGonagall. He was in a good mood today. In Room 7, in Voldemort's mind, hiding in Hogwarts Castle and not daring to come out, Tom Riddle finally took a crucial step. He found an ancient document in the restricted section of the library'—that was the Gaunt family A certain ancestor's notes, the content on it is obscure and difficult to understand, and few people care about it.
Riddle compared repeatedly, and finally concluded that Gaunt's notes were true. He was ecstatic, thinking that it was a gift from his ancestors, and was destined to belong to him.
He tore out the first few pages, asked the professors in the school in a random order, and found that it was the book about the spell of the patron saint. After that, he spent several months deliberating word by word to understand the powerful spells recorded in the book. The magic of the patron saint is amazing. The essence of this kind of magic is not only to deal with dementors, but similar to summoning magic, creating a group of concrete products of spiritual power that is not afraid of death.
But unfortunately, the content of the notes is incomplete and lacks detailed learning methods. There is only one reminder to provoke Riddle's eager heart, 'Mobilize the power of the mind and tap the touch in life. "Reminiscent of what happened that night, those three 'dead' idiot companions, Riddle naturally came to a conclusion: he perfected this magic in the future, and took the initiative to pass it on to others to act as thugs, so as to fight against the black magic. Wizard Dumbledore.
A brand new road appeared in front of Tom Riddle, which was extremely bright. He was going to be Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Minister of Magic, and he was going to make Hogwarts students and Ministry Aurors work for him, drowning his enemies with an army of modified Patronuses.
After thinking for a long time, at the end of the sixth grade, he approached Principal Dippet and expressed his desire to stay in school after graduation, even as a teaching assistant.
To think unrighteously and to do noble things, Tom Riddle was full of ambition. "I've covered the difference between polymorphing into animals and Animagus transfiguration, in a nutshell,
The former is passive, once the wizard is unable to undo the spell independently; the latter is an active choice, the wizard can decide when to restore the human form. It is important to note that in both cases, human sanity will gradually disappear, but the timing is very different..."
"The Waggadu School of Magic in Africa has delved deeply in this area, and some of the information you have is derived from this." Professor McGonagall said, "You will find that the training you will receive is based on the books you have learned. What you see online is different——if you really read these materials carefully." Her last sentence became severe,
Many students lowered their heads with guilt.
"Those contents are improvements made by me and Professor Haipu. We will do our best to ensure your safety, but if anyone wants to withdraw, you can raise it now."
The students put their heads together and began whispering rapidly.
"What does Professor McGonagall mean?" Ron asked Hermione in a low voice, Harry pricked up his ears to listen, and at the same time saw Susan Burns, Justin, and Ernie showing worried faces, and McGonagall The members of the Transfiguration Club brought by Professor Ge looked as usual, obviously they already knew this knowledge in advance.
"Simply put, the learning steps will change." Hermione said briefly.
Harry looked up at the ceiling, trying to recall the contents of Hermione's notes. He could clearly recount the first step, that is, from the first full moon to the end of the next full moon, the caster must hold a piece of mandarin in his mouth. Dela grass leaves, the leaves cannot be swallowed or taken out of the mouth in the middle; after this step, the saliva-soaked leaves must be placed in a crystal vial at the full moon, and a stick of one's own must be added under the pure moonlight 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 dew that has never been exposed to sunlight, and finally add a chrysalis of a grimacing hawk moth, and after all is done, place the medicine bottle secretly in a quiet and dark place, Waiting for the thunderstorm to come...
"You can decide after this class is over," Professor McGonagall said, "So I won't explain too advanced content today, such as the method of controlling magic power in human body deformation, they have been proven to be effective in practice Reduce the learning difficulty of Animagus Felix?"
Felix, who had become a teaching assistant, stretched out a hand lazily and waved it in front of the students. They didn't know why at first, but then they opened their mouths wide in surprise—Professor Haipu's right hand was slowly elongated, like the claw of some kind of carnivore, with thick and powerful joints, and the curved radius of the forearm reminded them of A series of words such as strong' and 'savage', the back of the professor's right hand and wrist were covered with a layer of fluff, and five long nails protruded out.
Felix raised his arm and scratched five deep scratches on the wall. Sparks splashed all over the wall, making a piercing sound of toothache.
"Oh, thank you, Felix, that's fine." Professor McGonagall said in an unnatural tone.
Felix shook his hand, the hair on his arm fell off, and he turned back into a human form, but all the students were still staring at the skin on his arm in a daze. They were eager to know which creature the professor used as a template for transformation Yes, if it is a complete biological individual, it is estimated that it can trample them to death.
"What you see is a relatively advanced transformation, so you don't have to think about being the same as Professor Haipu." Professor McGonagall said with some anxiety, "We continue to need a volunteer, who is willing to cooperate with the demonstration?"
Several arms raised tremblingly, and Professor McGonagall finally chose Susan Bones.
"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 bit fear. "Don't worry," Professor McGonagall comforted: "It's just a layer of insurance, I will observe the whole process, and stop immediately if there is an accident."
The other students gathered in a circle, their eyes twinkling with anticipation.
"What do I need to do, Professor?" Susan Burns asked in a trill.
"Trying to stay sane," Felix said, sounding as if Susan was about to suffer some inhuman pain, and she took a step back flinching, even as did the other students.
Felix cleared the noise and explained: "I will perform polymorph to turn you into a small animal. During this period, you must try to remain calm to counteract the growing wild urges and avoid Driven by instinct... Of course, Professor McGonagall and I will transform you back before you lose control."
"This is just a demonstration. When it comes to the real practice, Minerva and I will slow down the process as much as possible, so that you have enough time to experience the subtle changes in human body deformation, which will appear in the real Arnie. Magus plays a vital role in transforming. Last question, Miss Burns, what animal do you like?"
"I like unicorns," whispered Susan.
"No, I mean... normal animals."
"Maybe it's a little rabbit." Susan said uncertainly.
"Rabbit? Good, stand still."
Felix took out the wand that was not used much anymore from his pocket, pointed at Susan, and with a "bang", Susan disappeared in place, replaced by a fluffy rabbit with gray fur. The rabbit squealed and cowered within the golden circle.
"The others stand back, don't scare her," said Professor McGonagall sharply.
The students who got closer retreated back with a clatter, their eyes were reluctant to part, and the people standing behind stood on tiptoe desperately, trying to see more clearly.
Felix squatted down, looking at the gray rabbit trembling in front of him.
"Calm down, Burns, I have a good relationship with your aunt, if she hurts you, she will make trouble for me.
So there is nothing to be afraid of. "Felix said gently, and the rabbit that Susan turned into calmed down and looked around curiously. From this angle, her classmates were taller than giants.
This made her feel a little nervous.
"How are you feeling now?" Felix asked.
The gray rabbit's small eyes showed an anthropomorphic thinking expression, and it barked twice shortly.
"Oh, you can't talk right now...I'll ask you a question next, you just need to nod or shake your head. Always remember, you're a witch, the longer you can keep your sanity the better...Do you like winter? ?”
The rabbit hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Very well, the next question, are you a student of Ravenclaw College?" Rabbit shook his head.
"Do you like pink?" Rabbit nodded ~IndoMTL.com~ and nearly ten minutes passed like this. Visibly, the onlookers noticed that the rabbit's reaction rate was getting slower and slower, punctuated by nervous sudden glances and wary ears turning. Harry swallowed, watching helplessly as the little rabbit's eyes gradually lost their alertness.
He glanced at Draco Malfoy, and as expected, his face turned extremely pale.
"Felix—" Professor McGonagall called hesitantly.
"Do you still know who I am?" Felix asked, this time the gray rabbit stopped stepping on him and began to lick the fluff on his front paws, Felix asked again, Still no response.
"Felix!" snapped Professor McGonagall.
As if frightened, the gray rabbit jumped forward and jumped out of the golden circle. Felix raised his wand calmly. After the loud noise, Susan Bones returned to her original state.
Professor McGonagall quickly walked over to hug her, and patted Susan on the shoulder comfortingly. Felix handed a bottle of palliative to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall acted as Madam Pomfrey temporarily. After drinking the potion, Susan's expression became soothed.
"I remember that you experienced Professor Moody's Imperius Curse in the fourth grade?" Felix said, "If you choose to continue studying, you will experience this feeling many times, but the advantage is that you are practicing The process of Animagus was escorted by two professors, who accidentally caused irreversible magic damage, and the success rate was very high...
You have a week to weigh in. "
"Okay, now anyone else wants to try it?"**
