Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

The peaceful days were broken.

Of course, this breakthrough was aimed at Su Er and Hermione. One afternoon in March, Hermione ran to find Su Er excitedly.

Soul thought Hermione had figured it out and was about to open her arms, but Hermione suddenly stopped and what he said was completely different from what he thought.

"I asked Professor Sinistra, and she said there will be a thunderstorm tomorrow." Hermione looked at Soul's open arms in confusion and said happily.

"Thunderstorm?" Sol awkwardly raised his arms to stretch, and then realized what Hermione meant.

"In other words, your Animagus..."

"That's right!" Hermione didn't hide the excitement in her eyes. This was Transfiguration, the highest secret in human transfiguration.

"Are you sure it's tomorrow? Hermione."

"Of course, I will never hear it wrong." Hermione nodded, "Tomorrow happens to be Friday, and Professor Sinistra gave an accurate time, probably around six o'clock in the evening."

Hermione never stopped doing two spells in the morning and one at night. Even if the time turner happened, she did not stop it. For more than half a year, this has become a habit of Hermione, and she will naturally do it without being reminded. Chant the transformation spell in the morning and dusk.

"I don't know if it's an illusion." Hermione stroked her chest gently, "It beats very fast."

……

The next day, Friday, dusk, Forbidden Forest.

Hermione stood there to calm her breathing, opened her eyes and looked at the three people not far away, feeling peaceful in her heart.

"Remember when we were practicing Animagus, Remus?" Sirius turned to look at the environment and smiled, "The little wizards today are much more courageous than we were back then."

"Of course I remember, James was really embarrassed at that time." Professor Luping also smiled, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Soul.

"We didn't have the guts to run into the Forbidden Forest. It's extremely dangerous to perform Animagus without anyone watching. If something happens, it will be too late to save us."

Soul touched his nose awkwardly. It was very clear who Professor Lupine was referring to.

Compared to the last time when he went alone to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to undergo Animagus transformation and was almost killed by a spider, this time Hermione's safety index was much higher than his.

"Speaking of which, you should have completed the Animagus, right? Soul." Sirius asked curiously.

Su Er hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Let me guess, it's a badger, right?" Professor Lupine said, "James' Animagus form and his Patronus were the same creature. I think you should be no exception."

"Is there an inevitable connection between the Animagus and the Patronus Curse? Professor." Sur asked curiously without denying this fact.

"The connection exists. The Animagus and the Patronus Curse are both highly difficult spells. Very few people can learn both spells, at least very few people I know. "Speaking of this, Lupine glanced at Suer with a strange expression.

"In Muggle terms, the samples are too small to form valid proof, but what is certain is that the form of the Animagus is consistent with the form of the original Patronus Curse."

"Initially?" Suer asked immediately.

"Yes." Lupine nodded, "The patron saint is very magical. It can change. When a wizard encounters a major change in mood, their patron saint will often change due to changes in the mind and become another person. Species.”

"As for the Animagus, its form has already been established at the beginning of its transformation. This is rooted deep in the wizard's soul."

"Then, if a wizard first learns the Animagus and then learns the Patronus Charm, will the Patronus confirm his form because of the wizard's Animagus?"

"Hmm..." Lupine lowered his head and considered for a while, then shook his head, "I'm not sure, again, the sample is too small, Soul."

"But, isn't there a ready-made sample right now?" Lupine smiled and looked at Hermione who was staying where the Animagus potion was buried.

"Miss Granger hasn't learned the Patronus Charm yet, right?"

That's not true. Hermione said she wanted to learn before, but she never got around to it. She could study it. Soul touched his chin.

It just so happened that Harry had learned the Patronus, but he hadn't learned the Animagus yet. By the way, Harry could give it a try, but I didn't know if he would have the luck to finally complete the Animagus. You know, Ah The requirements for Nimagus's transformation are too stringent. If there is any interruption in the process, you have to start all over again.

Hermione noticed the looks from Lupine and Soul, opened her eyes, and tilted her head in confusion.

At this moment, Sirius looked up at the sky and said in a solemn voice.

"It's almost time."

As soon as the voice fell, bright white lightning flashed in the thick dark clouds, and the forbidden forest where the four of them were was lit up for a moment. About two or three seconds later, a dull explosion echoed in the ears of the four of them.

"Let's start, Hermione." Sirius pulled out his wand and called to Hermione.

Professor Lupine also pulled out his wand and stood ready, while Hermione took a deep breath, held the potion she had brewed earlier in the Room of Requirement, drank it in one gulp, and then buried it deep underground. He took out the Animagus transformation potion.

"Boom!" There was another thunderous sound, and the potion in Hermione's hand glowed like ruby.

Big raindrops hit the ground, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

Soul had no time to pay attention to the water drops flowing down from his head, and looked at the field with unblinking eyes. Hermione had poured the Animagus potion in her hand into her mouth, and collapsed with a look of pain on her face. On the ground.

"Don't pass out, Hermione. Success or failure depends on this moment."

Sur has personally experienced the transformation process of Animagus, and knows how difficult it is to have the bones crushed and reorganized. What is even more uncomfortable is that the wizard has to stay awake during this stage. This means that the wizard must face the fact that his bones are crushed, reassembled, and crushed again.

Although there are magic potions introduced in books to help the Animagus deform and relieve pain, the necessary pain must be experienced. The magic potion can only assist and reduce, but cannot eliminate it.

The pain caused by the Animagus transformation is a necessary stage, just like a woman who is ten months pregnant and gives birth to a child. The labor pain at the end of the pregnancy cannot be avoided.

Even if modern medicine has drugs for painless delivery, it cannot completely eliminate this kind of pain.

The rain began to intensify, and the water droplets fell on the grass, making a crackling sound. Hermione's whole body collapsed on the ground as if she had no bones, and she could not suppress the painful moans from her throat. Her limbs under the wizard's robes were weird. Stretch, shorten.

"It seems to be going well." Sirius used his wand to conjure an umbrella and walked to Soul to block the rain.

"Soon, there will be another wizard who learns the Animagus."
