Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 34 Animagus

After finishing the divination class, Hilbert and Daphne went to Professor McGonagall's classroom with the Transfiguration class textbook and notes.

Since Dumbledore gave Hilbert his Animagus notes in the first year of school, Hilbert has almost read the book to pieces.All that's left now is practice.It just so happened that Professor McGonagall was speaking about the professional knowledge of Animagus today.

Hilbert took notes while listening.So is Daphne.Hilbert once dreamed that one day he learned that Animagus would turn into an animal and grow old with Daphne. (Shameless boy Sichun!)
Professor McGonagall was teaching them about Animaji (magic that can make people turn into various animals at will).Harry in the last row almost didn't listen. She turned into a tabby cat under the eyes of everyone, with traces of glasses around her eyes. "Seriously, what happened to you today?" Professor McGonagall said. At this time, Accompanied by a slight poof.She has changed back to her original form, and looked around at these students. "It doesn't matter, but it's the first time that my transformation didn't win the applause of the whole class."

Everyone's heads turned to Harry again, but no one spoke.Then Hermione raised her hand.

"Professor, we just had a divination class, we read tea leaves, and—"

"Ah, of course," said Professor McGonagall, frowning suddenly. "There's no need to go on, Miss Granger. Tell me, which of you will die this year?"

Everyone stared at her.

"Me," said Harry at last.

"Understood," said Professor McGonagall, her small round eyes fixed on Harry, "then, Potter, you should know that Sybill Trelawney has prophesied a So far. None of them have died. Foreseeing the signs of death is her favorite way of welcoming new students. If I am not someone who never speaks ill of my colleagues—” Professor McGonagall stopped, and they saw Her nostrils erupted.She went on, more calmly, "Divination is one of the most inaccurate subjects in magic. To tell you the truth, I am the most impatient with divination. Very few people can really see the future, and Trelawney professor"

She paused again, and then said, in a very matter-of-fact tone, "I see you are in excellent health, Potter, so don't blame me if I don't let you go lightly on your homework today. I promise, If you die, you don't have to turn in this assignment."

Everyone's mood was slightly improved by Professor McGonagall.It seemed a little harder now to be intimidated by the bewildering aroma, the dim red light, and the cloud of tea leaves in Professor Trelawney's classroom.However, not everyone is convinced by this statement.Ron still seemed concerned, and Lavender whispered, "What's up with Neville's teacup?"

After Transfiguration class was over, everyone went noisily to the auditorium for lunch.Daphne and Hilbert went straight to the principal's office to learn more about Animagus.

Dumbledore smiled and said that to become an Animagus, one must have both transfiguration and potion talents.If the following steps lead to physical or psychological problems, no one can afford it.

1. A single mandrake leaf must be held in the mouth continuously for a full month (from full moon to full moon).At no time should the leaves be swallowed or taken out of the mouth, if the leaves leave the mouth the whole process must start all over again.

2. Take the leaf out at full moon, fill a crystal phial with saliva, soak the leaf in it, and let it receive the pure moonlight (if the night is cloudy, you will have to find a new mandrake leaf, start over).To the moonlit crystal phial add a strand of your hair and a silver teaspoon of dew, which must be collected from a place where there has been no sunlight or human touch for a full seven days.Finally add a chrysalis chrysalis.Keep this mixture in a quiet, dark place and don't look at it or disturb it until the next thunderstorm.

3. While waiting for the storm to come, the following actions should be performed every time the sun rises and sets: point the tip of the wand to the heart, and recite the mantra: "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus. "

4. Waiting for a storm to arrive can be weeks, months or even years.During this time, the crystal vial must remain completely undisturbed and out of contact with the sun.Sun pollution will cause the worst mutations.If you keep repeating the spell at sunrise and sunset, there will come a time when the tip of the wand will touch your chest and you will feel a second heartbeat, sometimes stronger than the original, sometimes weaker.Everything must remain unchanged.The mantra must be recited the correct number of times without any omission.

5. When the lightning flashes across the sky, immediately go to the place where you buried the crystal vial.If you've done all of the above steps correctly, you'll find a sip of the blood-red potion inside.

6. You must move immediately to a wide and safe place to ensure that the transformation process will not attract attention or put your body in danger.Point the tip of your wand to the heart, say the spell "Amador, Animo, Animador, Animagus" and drink the potion.

7. If all goes well, you will feel intense pain and two intense heartbeats.You will have a vision of the creature you are about to transform into.You must show fearlessness, it is too late to escape your promised changes now.

8. The first metamorphosis is usually quite uncomfortable and frightening.Items such as clothing and glasses or jewelry melt into the skin, becoming hair, scales or claws.Don't resist and don't panic, or the animal head may take over and drive you to do stupid things like jump out of a window or run into a wall.

9. Once the transformation is complete, you should find yourself adjusted to your new body.It is highly recommended that you pick up your wand immediately, and store it in a safe place so that you can retrieve it when you return to human form.

10. To return to human form, one must visualize oneself in human form as clearly as possible.Usually this is enough, but don't panic if the deformation doesn't happen right away.With practice, you'll be able to switch between animal and human forms at will just by imagining what the creature looks like.Advanced Animagus do not need a wand to do so.

The two stunned students didn't know what they were listening to!

"Hehe, take your time, I can give you a note, you can go to the restricted book area to find some books that understand the structure and essence according to the book catalog above, remember, only a lot of knowledge can guarantee your practice! Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"Professor, why is your last sentence so familiar?"

"This is a sentence from a Muggle leader in your country, Professor Lingxu!"

Restricted section.

The two people who had a simple meal got busy here.

Hilbert picked out a few books he was interested in, "Basic Transformation Guide", "Conversion of Matter and Magic", "Fundamentals of Rapid Transformation"...
After reading several books in a row, Daphne felt a little boring. The things in these books were all in the textbooks, and they were not as good as Dumbledore's.Reluctantly flipping through it again, some books could teach him something.Some cannot.

In the process of flipping through the books, the two of them didn't pay attention to their positions. They were obsessed with knowledge and walked deeper and deeper in the library.

Suddenly, there was a faint whisper in my ear.

"Look at me."

"Do not."

"Look at me."

"I have the most knowledge."

"No, no, I know more."

"But mine are more useful."

"Don't listen to him."

"Don't listen to him."

"Come on, boy."

"I can make you brilliant."

"brilliant?"

"Is reading a book for glory, idiot?"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

"The mouse is short-sighted."

"Knowledge itself is desire."

"Oh!"

"Damn!"

"Shut up."

Leave the quarreling books.Hilbert's keen eyes spotted a mess of faded silver characters written on the cover of a black cowhide book.

"Anatomy of everything, structure is king"

Author - Morgan Le Fay.

"What a big tone!" Hilbert said disdainfully while looking at the book.

"No, this man is very famous! Hill!"

"I don't think so!"

"Morgan Le Fay is King Arthur's half-sister and Merlin's enemy. Throughout her life, Morgan played a role in many events. And her half-sister Like her half-brother, she is also a monarch, ruling the island of Avalon as queen. Besides being proficient in the dark arts, she is also a very good healer and an Animagus who can turn into a bird. Chocolate frog card Morgen was introduced as a very powerful dark witch."

"Merlin's beard, sorry sorry! What an offense!"

On the paper inside, there is a standard drawing of the whole body anatomy of a lion.Every angle, from hair, to nerves, to magic flow.

The bottom of the page reads, 【The basis of transformation is understanding. There is no magical difference between transforming a cat and transforming a lion. The only difference is whether you know enough about the target of the transformation. If you want to transform a cat, you will Know enough about Meow.If you want to transform into a lion, you need to know enough about lions.The same is true for Animagus...] The two breathed a little faster, and this book seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance.Go straight to the point when you come up, completely different from those coquettish sluts who cover up outside.On the second page, a huge eagle is drawn, and every bone and every feather is also displayed to the extreme.

[Through magic power, to shuttle back and forth between the subject and the object, the most difficult point is not to understand the target object, but to deeply understand oneself.Those who cannot deeply dissect themselves cannot become true masters of transformation...]

Hilbert was shocked by the passages in this book. These words were like a big bell to him, and they were deafening.

At this moment, Mrs. Pince grabbed the book in her hand, "Hey! Boy, do you have the professor's signature?"

"Yes! Headmaster Dumbledore's signature!"

"I, Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, hereby authorize Mr. Hilbert Shafik and Miss Daphne Greengrass to borrow professional books on Transfiguration from the Restricted Section for any return date."

"take it."

"Thank you, Mrs. Pince."

The two people who were going back to the auditorium to continue eating saw Taoist Lingxu.

"Professor, hello!" Daphne said.

"Don't be nervous, dear, you can just call me Lingxu together with Hill. I just came out from the headmaster, who entrusted me and Professor McGonagall to jointly teach you Animagus. Professor McGonagall is responsible for guiding the transformation, And I provide specimens for your reference and study. The time is set to start next Wednesday, and strive to learn Animagus within this year!"

Taoist Lingxu waved his magic wand, and delicious Chinese dishes appeared on the long table.The two wolf cubs, who were so hungry, ignored the table manners, grabbed the ribs and roast beef, and started to eat.

"Seriously, why don't you two choose to become wolves!" Look at you like this.Taoist Lingxu said with a smile.

"Go away." The two said in unison.
