Hogwarts Crawler

"Dear Adam, please forgive my grandmother for taking so long to reply to you. After reading your letter, I hesitated for a long time, and finally made up my mind to write these words after communicating with Mr. and Mrs. Flamel.

Before telling you everything, I want to affirm your wisdom and sharpness. You can find the Philosopher's Stone through a name that is several centuries away from you, which surprised Mr. and Mrs. Flamel. I am proud of you, dear.

Back to the topic, you should know that they are French and come from the same land as your grandmother, that is, me. In fact, my great-grandfather is the great-great-grandson of Mrs. Flamel's younger brother.

I know that you may think that this kinship is too distant after reading this, and I think so too. The protagonists of some interesting stories they mentioned when I was a child are already ancestors so distant that it is difficult to trace them. We, the descendants, should not disturb the secluded life of our ancestors, so our family has never had any contact with Mr. and Mrs. Flamel-until you mentioned that bad premonition before."

After reading the first piece of letter paper, Adam was a little shocked.

Nicolas Flamel is actually his ancestor?

Oh, no, his ancestor is Nicolas Flamel's wife's brother. He is still a relative of Mrs. Flamel, but he can only be said to have some relationship with Nicolas Flamel, but not much, but barely.

Continue reading, Grandma Emma tells everything about their family - there is nothing to say in detail, just a detailed review of their family's interactions with the Flamel couple over the years. As Grandma Emma said, it is basically the story of ancestors that are too far away to trace, and the more you go down, the less intersections there are.

What Adam cares about is that at the end of the letter, Grandma Emma said that Nicolas Flamel invited him to visit their home again during the holidays.

Although he doesn't know why, Adam himself also wants to find Nicolas Flamel again. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the Philosopher's Stone will be destroyed this semester, and the Flamel couple will end their lives of more than 600 years.

The door key given by Nicolas Flamel did provide him with an effective way to escape at that time, although he didn't need it very much now. Later, Professor Dumbledore's guidance to him and his permission to frequently visit Fawkes were also due to Nicolas Flamel.

He should at least go and see them for the last time, or if they still want to continue living...

He has quite a lot of Philosopher's Stones here.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the exam date is approaching day by day, causing the students to become more and more irritable.

For Adam, the approaching exam is not a terrible thing. As the weather warms up, he has more energy to review the problems encountered in a year of study after completing the tree card magic training.

"Professor McGonagall, where will the objects cast the Vanishing Spell go?"

Adam asked a question he had been curious about for a long time during after-school tutoring.

"Good question, in fact... no one knows."

Professor McGonagall said:

"Since the invention of this spell, there has never been a precedent for something that has been cast a vanishing spell and has never appeared in front of people again."

"Even wizards who can Apparate?"

Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment and looked at Adam deeply:

"My advice is that it is best not to cast a vanishing spell on wizards."

"Professor, I know, this spell takes a little time to take effect and this time is enough for the other party to react and fight back."

Adam nodded:

"I mean, can we use this or similar methods to explore where the vanishing spell leads to?"

Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to clarify that she did not mean what Adam understood or to explore the question Adam asked at the end.

"You can tell me what you think."

"For example, Phoenix, Fawkes's Apparition should not be restricted by the Anti-Apparition Charm."

Under Professor McGonagall's subtle gaze, Adam quickly added:

"Of course, the Apparition of house-elves seems to be able to be performed smoothly in places with Anti-Apparition, such as Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth and tried to say something to no avail. After taking a few deep breaths, she barely sorted out her thoughts:

"Adam, maybe I used the wrong words when I was teaching you before. We don't have to explore the underlying principles of all spells. There is nothing wrong with some magic just staying at the level of application, right?"

So please let your poor Transfiguration professor go...

Professor McGonagall looked at Adam and tried her best to convey the above information with her eyes.

"Okay, let's talk about the application of the Transfiguration Charm."Adam sighed, and then turned a page of his notes when Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief:

"So, about the use of uncertainty caused by lack of concentration during transformation, to transform part of the opponent's limbs into aliens and thus make the opponent lose their combat ability... Professor McGonagall?"

"..."

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's silence was deafening.

"Professor McGonagall?"

"I think you have learned the basics of Transfiguration spells."

"Professor McGonagall?"

"Remember what you wanted to ask me after class last time..."

"Professor McGonagall???"

"Ah, it's Animagus, how about we discuss this?"

Professor McGonagall jumped onto the table and turned into an American shorthair cat.

"...Okay, Professor McGonagall."

Adam put down his notes and stretched out his hands with a pious expression.

There is always a time to try out what you guessed, but the opportunity to pet a cat is not often available.

Don't think wrongly. Adam certainly couldn't have any improper thoughts about Professor McGonagall. After personally confirming that there was no difference between the animals transformed by Animagus and normal animals, Adam was once again shocked by the unreasonableness of the wizard's spell.

To be honest, it is not without benefits to know the facts but not the reasons. At least, almost no magician would study this kind of controllable self-transformation that can retain consciousness.

Which magician with this ability would have the need to turn himself into an ordinary animal?

After all, the most important ability of Animagus is infiltration, and the wizards who can do this need to infiltrate targets, which are usually not fooled by Animagus.

In addition, some magic involving time is also the same. Those who can interfere with time are all legendary great magicians, such as Cullo Reedo, but in the wizarding world, there are a lot of time converters in the Ministry of Magic.

Thinking of the two magic circles in the Time Card and the Shadow Card that make people dizzy at a glance, Adam deeply felt the happiness of wizards who know the facts but don't know the reasons.

I should apply for a time converter to study it, and then it would be more reliable to study the magic of time cards and halberd cards.

As for now... Animagus, an interesting subject, I hope I can make progress before the end-of-year exam.

Due to his patronus image, Adam is very interested in his Animagus.
