demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 42 Questions

The classroom burst into laughter, and of course, there were many people who supported McLagan.

After all, there are not many entertainment activities in the wizarding world. Apart from Quidditch, there are only sports such as Gobstone and Ten-Pin Rolling that are not attractive enough and not popular enough.On the other hand, the results of the English Quidditch team were indeed lackluster.

Even Regulus, after seeing the report, once thought about whether it would be more suitable for him to serve as the seeker for the England team.

Of course, McLaggen didn't get the answer he wanted, so he called over another student.

"Mr. Belby? What did you read?"

"A wizard published a paper saying that owls are edible!" Marcos Belby stood up tremblingly and said in an unnatural tone.

Many little wizards, especially witches, cast angry looks at him. How could an owl eat an owl if it is so cute?

"Normally, we do not advocate eating owls. They are not only tools for delivering messages, but also our friends." Regulus motioned Belby to sit down. "Special circumstances will be discussed separately."

After hearing the answers from Belby and McLaggen, Regulus decided not to waste time asking questions. After all, these first-year students were still too young and of course they only cared about eating, drinking and having fun.

"Sir, the newspaper said there was an attack on Harry Potter. Is it true?" Yaxley suddenly asked loudly.

The classroom suddenly became noisy.

Muggle-born students were very unfamiliar with this name and asked their classmates around; while students from wizarding families had grown up hearing this name and of course knew its meaning.

The boy who survived.

The one who defeated You-Know-Who.

"Although the Ministry of Magic doesn't want to admit this, I still have to say that it is true." Regulus said solemnly.

The little wizards immediately started whispering.

"Quiet!"

Regulus stepped off the podium, paced back and forth between the desks, and began to speak in a low and serious tone.

"We have gone through a period of peace, which happened to be the stage from when you can remember to when you grew up. When I was in school, the situation was completely different. Outside the school, there were battlefields everywhere, and it was a really dark day... Regulus closed his eyes and shook his head slowly, "You can ask your parents what it was like when they were in school."

"Many people believe that the Dark Lord has completely fallen and the world is safe. But what I want to say is that danger can come back at any time. Hogwarts may be said to be a pure land, where you can get Dumbledore and Professor Our protection..." He walked back to the podium and emphasized his tone, "But I want to tell you, danger is everywhere."

"I don't expect you to understand immediately. I just hope that when you make any decision, you will remember that someone once warned you in class." Regulus looked at the reactions of the little wizards with satisfaction and continued. , "Where do we start... There is a proverb that says: 'If there is a thing that can think independently, but you can't see clearly where its brain is, you need to be more vigilant.' How should we understand this sentence? ?Miss Zhang?”

"Those magical objects with the ability to think independently may be endowed with the will of their creators and will guide you to do what they want... Is that so? Sir?" Qiu Zhang replied.

"That's a good answer, Miss Zhang. Five points for Ravenclaw." Regulus agreed, "Ravenclaw students should know better. The way to enter your common room is quite different..." ,

The little wizard from Ravenclaw showed a knowing smile, while the other little wizards looked puzzled.

"Actually, many things in this castle have been given the will of the founders. Of course they want to guide you to become better wizards. But some evil wizards don't think so. They will lure you into corruption, or Just swallow your life and soul..."

After class, most of the little wizards didn't look too good, as if they had listened to a whole class of ghost stories.

"Listening to what he said, it seemed like something bad was about to happen." Some people seemed disapproving. "Listen to what he said, 'caution does not mean timidity, and bravery does not mean recklessness.' He is indeed a Slytherin. Yes. Dumbledore is at school, how could anything happen to us?"

"My father knows the head of the Auror Office, Scrimgeour. You should have seen him in the newspapers." Cormac McLaggen proudly showed off to his friends, "Even if some madman comes to Hog If Watts makes trouble, the Ministry of Magic will also arrest them."

Regulus didn't care about the students' discussions. He didn't expect these children to do anything. He just hoped that they wouldn't cause trouble in the worst possible situation in the future.

Such as trying to capture Voldemort alone.

When he returned to the staff lounge, he happened to meet Professor McGonagall.

A question that had troubled him for several days suddenly came to mind. In the entire Hogwarts, there were probably few people who knew more about Transfiguration than Professor McGonagall.

He immediately stopped the Transfiguration Professor.

"Is there a problem?"

"I would like to ask, when a wizard uses Animagus transformation and turns into an animal, can he still use magic?"

"Of course not! I thought you knew this very well." Professor McGonagall looked surprised and confused. Regulus was indeed out of standard for asking this question.

"You can't trust all the knowledge in books. You still need to ask experts for some things." Regulus explained, "I'm telling students how to deal with five-legged monsters... I'm not good at the field of human body deformation. I don't want to Giving students wrong knowledge will harm them."

After hearing Regulus's reasons, Professor McGonagall showed an understanding expression. As a teacher known for his rigor, she appreciated this attitude of striving for excellence.

"Five-legged monsters are humans who have been mistakenly used the transformation spell. Although they have lost the ability to use magic, they have gained stronger strength and agility. However, because they are passively and permanently transformed, they cannot use magic. Transform yourself back into a human form." Professor McGonagall explained, "The other creature is the werewolf. They also transform passively, but they only transform on full moon nights. Unlike the five-legged monsters, they are cursed by their blood. With such power, you will lose your consciousness after transformation, and you can only regain your memory when you return to your human form."

"The Animagus is different. We can actively transform and switch between human and animal forms at any time. We don't need a wand. You only need to clearly imagine the form you want to switch to."

"After turning into an animal, is it really an animal?" Regulus asked.

"After transformation, Animagus possesses the functions of animals, including physical talents such as agility, strength, vision and smell, and can also communicate with similar animals." Professor McGonagall replied, "For example, I will become an animal with A cat with human thinking ability and IQ.”

"Last question, can we choose the target form, such as turning into a magical creature?" Regulus asked again.

"Unfortunately, there is currently no case of Animagus transforming into a magical creature." Professor McGonagall shook his head, "The world of transformation believes that this is impossible, unless... you have the blood of a magical creature? This is just my guess, there is no way to confirm it...Okay, I'm going to class."

After Professor McGonagall left, Regulus was thoughtful.
