Chapter 140 Formal Training of Animagus
In Hagrid’s hut, looking at Hagrid with a sad face, Hermione stood up and walked to his side.
She stood on tiptoes and stretched out her arms to reach the shoulders of the tall mixed-race giant. This move made her look a little funny.
Hermione patted Hagrid’s shoulder gently and comforted:”Don’t worry, you will definitely become the professor of Care of Magical Creatures.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Avis and the three of them all agreed.
Hagrid’s eyes were slightly red. He sniffed and was moved by the concern of the four little wizards.
“thank you all.
After enjoying a delicious afternoon tea set of milk and rock biscuits, the four of them bid farewell to Hagrid and returned to the castle. The four of them walked together in the deserted corridor, and Cedric sighed with emotion,”
Time flies really well.” Come on, I didn’t expect Professor Kettleburn to retire.”
He still remembered that when he first came to Hogwarts, he was a little unfamiliar with the castle. It was Professor Kettleburn who enthusiastically took him to the auditorium.
Although the old professor often made mistakes and was placed on probation, he treated every student They were all very kind, and you could always come to him if you had any questions.
Unexpectedly, he was going to retire.
Cedric sighed, feeling the sadness of parting for the first time.
……
Ives’s campus life gradually calmed down.
The hair growth potion Lockhart took seemed to have some strange magical reaction with the hair loss potion, and Madam Pomfrey was powerless to do anything about his bald head.
In desperation, he had to be transferred to St. Mungo’s for treatment.
Snape was quite satisfied with this. He sincerely hoped that Lockhart’s hair would never grow back, so that he could continue to teach.
One day, after Transfiguration class, Ivis followed Professor McGonagall to her office
“You said you have finished reading that notebook?”
Professor McGonagall sat in her seat, her eyes full of surprise. According to her understanding of Avis, it should take him several months to read the notebook, and it has only been more than a month.
Seeing Avis Weiss nodded and admitted, she frowned, a little worried that the boy did not fully understand the dangerous magic of Animagus and wanted to blindly try it.
As everyone knows, Avis’s talent has been strengthened, and this is his normal performance level.
“Do you remember the key points of Animagus transformation?”Professor McGonagall asked seriously.
“Animagus cannot transform into any animal at will, and the animal it changes is related to the wizard’s personality and weight. Generally, each person can only transform into one animal. At the same time, Animagus transformation is usually limited to non-magical creatures, and the transformation of magical creatures will bring unpredictable consequences.
Ives quickly replied:”When practicing Animagus, the wizard may go crazy and be unable to transform back into a normal human being. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic strictly controls it and requires all Animagus transformations.” Animals and characteristics must be registered with the Ministry of Magic’s Office for the Misuse of Magic……”
Professor McGonagall’s frown gradually relaxed. It seemed that Ivis had really understood it, rather than just reading it once and assuming that he had learned it.
After Ives finished speaking, she nodded with satisfaction, and then took the initiative to explain several difficulties in Animagus transformation. She didn’t write these knowledge points in the notebook she gav
e to Ives, but they were some of her unique know-how.
Avis silently took everything she said to heart.
Next, Professor McGonagall once again emphasized the steps of Animagus transformation.
The preparatory work for this magic is extremely cumbersome.
The first step is to hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth for a full month. It must be counted from one full moon to the next, and the leaves cannot be swallowed or taken out of the mouth at any time in between. If the leaf leaves the mouth, the entire process must start over.
After a month, take out the leaves and place them in a crystal vial filled with saliva, allowing it to receive pure moonlight. If by chance there are dark clouds that night, the practitioner must find a new mandrake leaf and start over.
If the first two steps go well, then add a hair and a silver teaspoon of dew to the potion under the moonlight. The selected dew also has strict requirements. It must be collected from places where there has been no sunlight or human contact for seven days.
Finally, a pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth is added, and the preparation of the preparatory work is completed.
Then place the potion in a quiet, dark place and do not look at it or disturb it again until the next storm with thunder and lightning.
The reason why many wizards who are very talented in the art of transformation fail to learn Animagus transformation is because of these cumbersome steps.
Once you make a mistake, you have to start over.
The preparation work alone often takes less than half a year.
Therefore, the reason why many transfiguration masters have given up on this magic is simply because they were unlucky and never completed the prerequisite potions.
After explaining the preparations, Professor McGonagall waved her wand in the air, and the radiance of magic flowed in the air, slowly turning into several half-human and half-monster creatures. Their shapes were distorted and their expressions were filled with pain.
“These are wizards who have failed to transform. So far, there is no way to restore them to their original state.” Professor McGonagall’s tone was very serious, not even the slightest bit joking.
“If you don’t want to be like this, you have to strictly follow the steps I tell you,” she pursed her lips,”I don’t want my most promising students to turn into monsters because of a moment of negligence.”
Avis nodded quickly, indicating that she would not mess around and would strictly follow the requirements.
Professor McGonagall looked at Ives for a long time, then she slightly nodded, and then put a piece of emerald green leaf on the In front of Ives
“This is the mandrake leaf,” she explained.”I’ve already told Pomona that you can ask her for the mandrake leaf at any time.
As for the specific practice time, you need to master it yourself.”
Thanks to Professor McGonagall, Ives left the office.
Next, he began the most difficult period of learning Animagus transformation.
After two days of full moon nights, Ives transferred Mandrake He put the leaves of grass into his mouth and stuck them on his tongue, officially starting the practice of Animagus transformation.
He thought it would be a simple task, but he soon realized the difficulty. He held the leaves in his mouth. Ives’ speech was very slurred, and he had to be careful not to push the leaves into his throat with his tongue.
When eating the next morning, he almost chewed up the mandrake leaves several times and swallowed them.
He could only Slowly getting used to it, Ives carefully chewed the food in his mouth and thought
