Chapter 85 Animagus
In the dark castle, only tiny candlelight illuminates the road, and a faint shadow walks towards the restricted books area.
After reading the information in the Room of Requirement, Wright went back to the dormitory and waited until everyone in the dormitory had fallen asleep before he sneaked out again.
Under the protection of darkness, he soon arrived at the restricted books area again!
Taking out the list of books given by Teacher Si, Wright stocked the bookshelf according to the titles on it.
"One Hundred Ways to Die in Transfiguration" "Detailed Explanation of Funny Transfiguration Cases of Death"...
Wright, who still wanted to purchase some books, looked at the list of books given by Si, and became more and more confused!
"My goodness, this must be because the Si Cult is afraid that I will commit suicide, so they specially arranged this for me!"
Wright complained in his heart, but he still quickly picked up books from the bookshelf according to the list.
At the same time, don't forget to pick up a few books about ancient rituals.
After purchasing the books, Wright took them to the Room of Requirement and began to read them slowly.
I didn't start reading directly from "Animagus", but started to learn from the heart, the precautions of Transfiguration and how to deal with abnormalities.
……
Early the next morning, Wright rubbed his sore eyes and ate breakfast, secretly planning not to stay up all night next time.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wright felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. 'I seem to have done this before!'
While Wright was in a daze, Hermione urged him to eat quickly because he had to go to class!
The four of them hurried and finally sat down in the classroom before the Professor of History of Magic arrived.
After catching up on some sleep in Professor Binns' class, Wright continued to study books on transfiguration in the next spells class.
In his continuous learning, he gradually confirmed his conjecture that there is a difference between the magic of wizards and magical animals.
At the same time, we are also preparing to make a bottle of 'Animagus Potion' for analysis before proceeding to the transformation of magical creatures.
After several days of hard study, Wright finally decided to tackle the ultimate secret of Transfiguration, 'Animagus'.
After finishing a day's classes, Wright came to the Room of Requirement, took out the banned book "Species Transfiguration", and began to read it!
"The practice of Animagus is not simple. First of all, it requires the practitioner to have a deep understanding of Transfiguration. Only when it reaches the level of proficiency can danger be avoided!"
"Secondly, you must remain humble. Don't blindly think that you are a genius, don't be too confident that you can be different from others, and don't think that you can turn into a magical animal!"
"Finally, this magic requires luck. When this magic fails, don't try it a second time. This is fate's choice!"
After reading the author's warnings and the consequences of not following the rules, Wright frowned as he looked at the pictures of the activities on the pages of the book.
The pictures above are all people who have violated the warnings of Transfiguration. In each picture, there is a strange creature that is half human and half creature, with a twisted body and a hideous expression.
"I can understand the previous part, but why can't we try again after failing the first time? I don't really believe in fate's choice!"
After thinking for a long time, Wright continued reading with the question in mind, intending to find the answer in the next method of making the potion.
"The first step in practicing 'Animagus' is to hold a Mandrake leaf in your mouth from one full moon to the next. You cannot let the leaf leave your mouth during the process, otherwise you will fail!"
"The second step is to make the leaves into a potion and bury it in a place that is completely out of contact with the outside world and the sun!"
"Then, take it out before the thunder and lightning storm arrives. If the potion is blood red, it means that all previous operations were successful."
"Finally, drink the potion immediately after taking it out, and transform at the same time as the storm comes."
"It's gone!"
Confused, Wright kept flipping through the pages of the book, but the questions in his mind were not only not solved, but increased instead.
"Why hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth? Why transform when a storm is coming?"
After flipping through the book several times, Wright gave up the idea of looking for the answer in the book, and decided to practice Animagus himself to solve the problem himself.
After making the decision, Wright went to solicit investment!
Under the empty gaze of the St. Petersburg monk, he got several materials for making potions, especially more than ten leaves of mandrake.
With the obviously dissatisfied hoarse voice of the teacher, Wright was kicked out of the office.
With a pile of potion materials in his hand, Wright quickly walked to the potion mixing room that had been transformed into the Room of Requirement and put the materials in his hand away.
Then, Wright couldn't wait to put the mandrake leaves in his mouth.
When the leaves first entered his mouth, he didn't feel anything special! But with every swallow of his saliva, Wright could keenly sense a subtle force seeping into the leaves.
In this way, Wright spent the day with the leaf in his mouth, and he had a hard day. He was afraid to swallow it when he went to sleep, and he was also afraid to swallow it when he ate.
However, the data collected on this day has allowed Light to understand all the secrets of 'Animagus'.
That night, Wright went to the office of the Teacher and began to tell him all his understanding of the magic and potion and report the progress to Party A.
'The Mandrake has the miraculous power to absorb spirits, but since it has lost its roots, it cannot store spiritual power.'
'The spiritual energy that cannot be stored is transported to various parts of the body along with the saliva, and then returns to the leaves in a day and night cycle.'
'After thirty days and nights of this cycle, the leaves will contain all the information about the body and spirit.'
After listening to Wright's explanation, Teacher Si crossed his left hand over his chest and put his right hand on his lips, showing a thoughtful expression.
Then, his empty eyes fixed on Wright again, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"I remember you promised me that you would tell me before doing the experiment!"
Hearing what the teacher said, Wright's proud expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "This is not an experiment, it's just the preparation of raw materials."
The teacher looked at Wright expressionlessly, obviously not buying his words, and said in a low voice:
"I remember that this period of time is not a full moon. Why did you suddenly take action? Isn't this an experiment?"
Wright, who was caught in the act, quickly defended himself:
"This is because we need to understand why we hold the leaf in our mouths during a full moon! Why can't we do it during normal times? And it's not dangerous to just hold the leaf in your mouth."
After listening to Wright's explanation, the teacher did not dwell on it and continued to ask, "Why do we have to start preparing when the moon is full?"
When Wright heard the question from the teacher, he knew that he had gotten away with it. He was secretly happy and then reported his conclusion.
"Because during a full moon, the mind and body are more active! The resistance to the mandrake absorbing the information of the mind and body is not strong!"
