A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 658

Outside the Forbidden Forest, Felix, Professor McGonagall, and several students looked at each other through the thick rain curtain. They held up their wands, and a fine airflow extended from the tip of the wand, forming a vague umbrella-shaped air wall above their heads. Keep the rain out.

The few people present tried their best not to look at Professor Haipu or show any weird expressions.Because the one holding the wand is not the professor himself, but a Niffler.Varen sat on Felix's shoulder, and his eyes jumped back and forth among the three students Draco, Hannah, and Hermione. The big devil said that they would turn into small animals in a while.

Harry and Ron also appeared here. The excuse they made at first was to watch the transformation process of Animagus, but they were severely rejected by Professor McGonagall.

"It's not necessary."

But the two played the emotional card, "We are Hermione's best friends, I'm really worried—" Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall looked at them carefully for a while, and nodded in agreement.Harry and Ron whispered luck.

"You can start now."

The moment the first bolt of lightning pierced the sky, Professor McGonagall said.Above everyone's heads, above the thick black clouds, a huge thunderbird of demonic culture flapped its wings and soared.

Hermione, Hannah, and Draco staggered into the Forbidden Forest after hearing the sound, scattered and ran in different directions, and disappeared in the storm in the blink of an eye.They want to get the crystal vial that was previously hidden on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Professor McGonagall held her wand tightly in both hands, her hair was wet by the rain blown by the wind, flowing down her somewhat pale cheeks, and her knuckles turned white from clenching tightly.

"They'll be all right," she murmured.

Felix looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. The heavy rain and darkness did not block his sight. Against the gray background, three glowing silhouettes kept moving away. At this moment, Felix suddenly turned his head and looked at The direction of the castle they came from.

A flash of lightning flashed across, and he seemed to see a vague silhouette standing on the balcony of the castle.

Felix narrowed his eyes.

Harry followed Professor Haip's line of sight, then opened his mouth wide in surprise, and exclaimed, "Neville?" In the darkness, a vague figure flew towards them, disappearing from time to time amidst the frenzied lightning. Now.

Professor McGonagall jumped up in surprise.

"You—Longbottom, why—" she said incoherently.

Neville was panting heavily, his face and body were completely wet from the rain, his body was covered in mud, and he seemed to have tripped more than once.He announced breathlessly: "I—successful—at sunset today—I felt—"

"You felt the throbbing of Animagus?" Professor McGonagall helped him finish the sentence.

"No, that's right," Neville said through the rain.

"As soon as possible, there is still time," Felix said.

Neville nodded heavily, turned and ran towards the Forbidden Forest excitedly.Professor McGonagall looked at his back and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's incredible, counting Longbottom, there are four in total...they all mastered the Patronus Charm...this discovery will definitely become the most subversive transformation of this century One of the theories."

She suddenly turned to Harry and Ron, and said seriously: "Potter, Weasley, you must not give up, it's totally worth a try...I have to discuss with Virgil and Jameline, and suggest that they take time to learn the Patronus Charm... ..."

Virgil and Jamieline are the seventh-grade students of the Transfiguration Club, and they still insist on chanting spells every day at sunrise and sunset.

Harry and Ron nodded silently, feeling that the mandrake blade in their mouths was more important.The two silently exchanged a look and made up their minds that they should eat in the special canteen for the next period of time.

Felix looked at the sky, the dark clouds completely covered the moon, and the black clouds were pierced by a bright lightning from time to time, leaving frozen spots on the retina, and the thunder rumbled.

They waited silently, and finally the first person came back.

It was Hermione, her fluffy hair was sticking to her face at the moment, her trouser legs were covered with mud spots, and she was shivering from the cold, but she was holding a small crystal medicine bottle in her hand, and the mixture of various materials in the bottle was now It has turned into a blood-red potion.

"Professor, I did it, potions—" she said excitedly.

Felix raised his hand lightly with a smile on his face, and around Hermione, four walls rose from the ground, enclosing them to form a connected space.

"Miss Granger, you are only one step away from success."

"Hey!" Varen cheered her on.

Hermione took a deep breath, pointed the tip of her wand at the position of her heart, and said the spell with a trill: "Amador, Animo, Animador, Animagus." Then she drank from the bottle potion, closed his eyes and waited.

Several pairs of eyes were fixed on her movements.

"Teacher, professor... it's a beaver—my Animagus form," said Hermione, unable to control herself.

"Very well, this is in line with our expectations." Felix said calmly, with a certain convincing force in his tone, and Hermione's teeth chattered, trying to hear what he said. "You should feel severe pain and two intense heartbeats now. You must blend into the other without hesitation. There is nothing to worry about. You have experienced more than a dozen transformations, and each time you are on the verge of losing control. Compared to that, the wild impact of the Animagus is nothing."

"Here we are," said Professor McGonagall sharply.

Hermione nodded slightly, trembling, and at that moment, the transformation began.

Harry and Ron had to fight themselves to keep from screaming.

They've seen Animagus transform, but it's only when it happens to a familiar friend that they realize how weird it is.Every part of Hermione's body was undergoing complex human body deformation - far beyond the knowledge they were exposed to in class - the wet hair shortened a little bit, and the head and body continued to shrink, as if under the professor's scaling spell , the outline of the head gradually transformed into the direction of the rodent, the clothes on her body were continuously tightened, blended into the skin, and turned into a kind of dark brown hair, her hands and feet turned into slender claws... a beaver appeared in the crowd in front of you.

"Clap!"

Hermione's wand fell and twirled twice on the wet ground.

"Remember, you have to think about how to properly place your wand before transforming." Professor McGonagall warned in the torrential rain, and Harry and Ron obediently agreed.

Felix stared unblinkingly at the creature in front of him with bright eyes. It was about two feet long. Compared with the rodents of the same genus, the beaver was relatively large in size, but it paled in comparison to other creatures. .Fortunately, none of the people present cared what form the Animagus was in. The meaning of magic itself was the most important.

From the perspective of magic power, the creature in front of him has almost no magic power fluctuations. All the magic power is concentrated in the deepest part of the body, almost frozen, and it is somewhat similar to a squib.

A momentary trance flashed in the beaver's eyes, and it let out two short calls. "Hey——" Beaver glanced reproachfully at the laughing Ron, and Ron apologized solemnly, "Sorry, Hermione. I'm looking for wizarding features on you, and I think it might be the pair of big dies." .”

Harry held back his teeth so hard he couldn't let himself laugh along with Ron.

"Whoosh!"

Varen jumped off Felix's shoulders and stood in front of Beaver, gesticulating excitedly.

The beaver barked twice, but it was a pity that he couldn't understand the language.

The rain parted above Felix's head, and he leaned expressionless against the edge of the raised fence.At this time, Varen was already writing in the air with his exclusive wand. Beaver looked at the wand that fell on the ground sadly, and then looked down at his short hands. The beard around his mouth was raised, revealing a pair of Big Die.

A slender palm was held in front of it.

Beaver stared blankly at the peas in Felix's hand, with a confused expression.Then, it slapped its hands away annoyed, and the cry was full of anger.

Felix withdrew his hand nonchalantly.

"Nice job, Granger. It seems that you have easily resisted the wildness in your body, which is good, you can try to change back."

"Professor, you have specially prepared this?" Harry asked dumbfounded.

"For the test, I made a lot of preparations." Felix said calmly: "In addition to peas, there are also insects and pears that peacocks like to eat, and plant seeds that squirrels like. Of course, I didn't prepare Neville's share. But his patron saint is a cat, and I happen to have pickled dried fish here."

While talking, Hermione finally found a way to transform herself back, and she straightened her messy hair.As he picked up his wand, he glared at Felix in disbelief.

"Professor, you are really well prepared." She said angrily, and she almost couldn't resist the temptation to taste the taste of peas. It's hard to understand how the professor thought of it.

"After transforming, the taste will change." Felix said briefly, as if explaining to Hermione, his eyes were still on her, and Professor McGonagall cleared his throat unbearably.

"Hmm—professor? What did you find?" Hermione said, her cheeks flushed slightly, her face burning hot.

"Soul node." Felix murmured.

"what?"

"I'm not sure," Felix said after thinking for a while, "the soul of a wizard is obviously different from that of ordinary people, and I suspect that magic plays an important role in it. One evidence is that even ghosts have magic, which makes them have magical powers." The ability to slightly interfere with real objects. So what makes a wizard's soul so special, and what acts as a bond between soul and body?"

"You think it's magic?" Hermione asked softly, and Harry and Ron on the side exchanged a surprised look.

"It's just a guess." Felix shrugged. The raindrops were crackling on the leaves. After a while, he turned his head to look at the Forbidden Forest. Draco Malfoy appeared at the edge of the forest, almost 10 times behind Hermione. minute.

However, it may also be because he tidied up his clothes halfway. His hair was neat and his clothes were dry. He walked towards them unhurriedly, with the red crystal bottle in his hand placed in the most conspicuous position.

The corners of Harry's and Ron's mouths drooped.

"It stinks." Ron muttered softly.Harry thought that was on point.

Knowing that Hermione has completed the Animagus transformation, Draco was slightly surprised, but he didn't mind an extra audience watching. After a while, he proudly showed off his gorgeous and beautiful peacock feathers, and even tasted Two mouthfuls of pears from Professor Hype.

Once he was back, Ron was mercilessly preemptively laughing at his momentary out-of-control behavior, "so he won't show off in front of us," he said presciently to Harry.

"I'm just trying to taste the peacock." Draco retorted, flushing, and Harry and Ron Zizi folded their arms and sneered at him, determined not to admit whatever Draco said.

Professor McGonagall ignored the childish behavior of these people. She walked up to Felix and looked worriedly at the dark Forbidden Forest.

"Felix... Hannah Abbott and Neville Longbottom haven't returned yet."

"It really shouldn't be," Felix said wonderingly, "I know the approximate location where they hide the crystal bottle. It's not too far from here. Even if the road is difficult to walk because of the rainstorm, I should be back now."

"They won't get lost, right?" Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows.

They looked at each other, and they both saw incredulousness in each other's eyes.Two students lost together?But this possibility does exist. Professor McGonagall asked Harry and the others to stay where they were, and she and Felix went to the Forbidden Forest to search.

"You stay here, I don't want to wait until Longbottom and Abbott are back, you're gone again." Professor McGonagall said, Felix left Warren, took out two broomsticks from the ring, McGonagall Professor Ge eagerly jumped into the sky, and the two glide in the rainstorm.

"There."

After searching for a few minutes, Felix's magical vision made a difference. They found Neville and Hannah about two kilometers away from the edge of the Forbidden Forest. These two students were actually staying together.

Professor McGonagall angrily landed from the sky, and then opened his mouth wide in surprise, not even noticing that the rainwater poured into it.

Two students—to be precise, there was only one person at the scene. Neville trudged through the mud with a red squirrel in his arms, the rain dripping down his hair. When he saw Felix and Professor McGonagall, Neville was shocked. Wei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh—thank God—Professor, you've counted, Hannah, Hannah is here." He showed the two professors the red squirrel lying quietly in his arms.

"Longbottom, what's going on?" Professor McGonagall yelled, and she glared at the red squirrel. "This is Hannah Abbott? She took the potion in advance? Didn't I tell you that you must return with the potion, Take it under the supervision of a professor?"

The red squirrel trembled.

"Okay." Professor McGonagall sighed, took the red squirrel from Neville's arms compassionately, and walked aside to comfort Hannah carefully.

Neville, on the other hand, faltered to explain what had just happened.

"After I got the potion, I planned to go back, but I saw Hannah passing by from a distance, which was going deeper into the Forbidden Forest. I thought I was wrong..." "So you decided to follow up to confirm. said Felix. "Yes, Professor." Neville said softly, "Hannah ran very fast. The vision was too poor in the rainy day. I almost lost track of her a few times, but I probably guessed that she was lost."

"We also guessed it, but why did she take the potion illegally?"

"Oh, professor..." At this time, Hannah successfully recovered her human form under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, and she said, "I'm sorry, I, I lost my way... I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up, so I decided, Decide……"

"Decided to transform in a corner where no one is around." Professor McGonagall said bluntly.

"Yes, that's right," Hannah cried and said, "I'm sorry, I was too scared, and worried that my months of hard work would be in vain, so my brain turned hot, I, I did well in the wild control course..."

"Miss Abbott, the courses I prepared with Professor Haipu are not for you to use as an excuse to take risks." Professor McGonagall said sternly.

"Professor McGonagall," Neville said courageously, "Hannah actually regained her senses, but I think that she should go back to the venue—"

"You guys are very thoughtful." Professor McGonagall snorted. She raised her head and glanced at the sky. After almost an hour, the clouds began to thin, and Thunderbird was looming.

"You have wasted too much time before, Mr. Longbottom, I suggest you transform here, with Professor Haipu and I watching... Are you still using the potion?"

Neville nodded hastily.

After a few minutes, he transforms into a tortoiseshell cat identical to his Patronus.The tortoiseshell cat meowed twice, and Professor McGonagall showed a smile on his tense face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

So when Felix and Professor McGonagall returned from the Forbidden Forest, all four students completed the Animagus transformation.Professor McGonagall did not mention Hannah's mistake in front of Harry and the others, but simply told them that because of time constraints, Hannah and Neville completed the transformation in the Forbidden Forest.

"Cool!" said Ron enviously.

On the way back, the atmosphere was very relaxed. Ron kept asking Neville and Hermione how they felt when they transformed, "Is it any different from normal transformation?" By the time they returned to the castle, Hannah had already started talking and laughing.

"You guys have a good night's rest tonight, don't try to transform in private," Professor McGonagall said, "Come to my office tomorrow morning, I will use the two days of the weekend to familiarize you with transformation as soon as possible, and—you have a bunch of Forms need to be filled out."

She conjured hot cocoa with her wand, watched them drink it, and let them go back.

"Minerva, don't be too harsh, at least the result is good, good—" Felix stammered, he saw Professor McGonagall suddenly burst into a smile, and she said happily: "It's a memorable day, Faye Lix! I must go back for a drink."
