Chapter 115: Animagus
I have to say that Canaan is still very intimidating in the hearts of the two of them.
After hearing Canaan's words, Will swallowed the words from his mouth and sat back in his seat. And Roger was also unwilling, and he whispered in Canaan's ear: "You really shouldn't be partial to that guy." ”
"Well, Roger, we can't slander anyone without evidence. Canaan also explained softly.
"I'm not slandering, I'm going to find out about it. Roger held his head high and said confidently.
......
Ravenclaw Tower, Freshman Dormitory.
Canaan was lying on his bed, looking through the bright moonlight through the magic book that Dumbledore had given him.
Animagus is known to be a very complex type of metamorphosis magic in the wizarding world, and in addition to the complicated practice process, this magic is also very dangerous.
If the transformation fails, it is very likely that it will only retain its beast nature and body, and will never be able to turn back into a human.
The book Dumbledore gave was called My Animagus, and it was compiled by the medieval Merlin Ambrosius. Legend has it that Merlin has the ability to transform into any animal, and that he is a powerful wizard himself.
However, after reading the entire book, Canaan realized that he had been cheated by Dumbledore.
Although the book details the transformation process of the Animagus, it also records speculations about how he transformed into magical creatures. But these conditions are very demanding.
First, each wizard can only morph into a specific Animagus form, which may be a mouse or a cat, which is determined by the bloodline in our body. This means that we cannot choose the form of Animagus ourselves.
Second, energy is conserved. Magical creatures are more powerful than normal creatures and require more energy. Merlin therefore proposes to replace these energies with the blood of the magical creature to be transformed, and the more powerful the magical creature, the more blood it consumes.
Third, maintaining the Animagus form of a magical creature requires a lot of mana. Merlin says it's best not to try this magic until you don't have enough magic.
There was no doubt that now that Canaan was stuck at the beginning, he couldn't even be sure what kind of creature his Animagus was. If he were an ordinary animal, the book would be of no use to him.
"Dumbledore's protector is a phoenix, so his Animagus may also be a phoenix, but I don't know if he succeeded in practice, and I have never heard of him being able to become a phoenix in the original movie. Canaan muttered a guess.
Protectors tend to have a deep connection to Animagus, but when a wizard's mood fluctuates greatly, there is a good chance that the summoned protector will also change.
"However, the blood of the phoenix is enough for him to have a headache, after all, he can't slaughter his phoenix named Fawkes. Canaan muttered to himself, shaking his head and laughing.
The next morning, Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
Canaan and Alita sat in the first row, and with them were the new Gryffindor students.
"I'm your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, you can call me Professor Fitz, I'm a former Hufflepuff student, and I'm very happy to meet you. "Professor Fitz has a pair of turquoise eyes, which are very attractive. He touched his shoulder with one hand and bowed slightly to the crowd, doing a standard medieval etiquette.
"Okay, I think I need to get to know each and every one of you before we get to class, and then let's start the roll call. ”
"George Veles!"
"Professor, I'm here. George raised his hand.
"Very good, very handsome lad, but I recommend that you sit in front next time, there are still plenty of empty seats in the first row. ”
......
"Canaan Blaine!"
"I'm here, Professor. Canaan raised his hand and smiled.
"Excellent, famous little wizard, I love your book. Fizdor looked at Canaan twice and complimented.
"Next, Roger Davis. ”
......
By the time Professor Fitz finished reading the list, a little more than half of the time had passed.
"Ahem!" Professor Fitz said after clearing his throat, "Now let's start the lecture, Defense Against the Dark Arts is a course that teaches students how to defend against the Dark Arts and dangerous creatures. ”
"Nowadays, there are a large number of mermaids around our school, I think the content of our first class will give you a detailed introduction to mermaids, who can help us introduce mermaids?" Professor Fitz asked with a smile as he looked at more than thirty pairs of big eyes.
"Mermaids are dangerous creatures with a low level of four X in the wizarding world, most of them have ugly faces, the upper body is a human body, and the lower body is a fish body, and they swim very fast in the water..."Alita stood up and said slowly.
"Very good, very standard answer, Ravenclaw plus 10 points!" Professor Fitz continued with a smile on his face, "Can anyone add more?"
"The merfolk date back to antiquity, and they are a very intelligent race. Unlike the Centaurs, they have their own culture, loving creatures such as the Mulba worm and the horse-headed fish-tailed sea monster, whose voices could be seen almost everywhere at the height of their civilization...", Canaan added.
"Very good, I don't think I can add any more, Ravenclaw plus 10 points!" Professor Fitz led the applause.
"Professor, I'd like to ask, what exactly is the merfolk crown that Dumbledore is talking about?" Roger asked, raising his hand.
"This crown is a symbol of the merfolk, and it is also very powerful. Fitz gave Roger a surprised look and explained slowly.
"What kind of person do you say can steal the crown from the merfolk, and can a freshman like us do that?" asked Roger again. It seems that he still suspects Will of stealing the crown.
"Mr. Davis, a freshman can't do that. Fitz shook his head and smiled a little sarcastically: "The lair of the merfolk is very secretive, and there is no mermaid to guide it, so ordinary people can't get there." Moreover, the merfolk treasures are hidden in their treasury, and no one can steal anything from the merfolk unless they are a great wizard like Dumbledore. ”
"Oh well, thank you very much for the answer. Roger said in frustration.
Professor Fitz nodded, "Next, I will introduce you to several ways to dive in the water and effective spells against merfolk. First of all, gill sac grass..."
Looking at Fitz talking eloquently on stage, Canaan gradually frowned.
The new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor seemed to know a lot about merfolk. Not only do you know that the mermaid's nest is very secret, but you also know a lot about the treasure house of the mermaid clan.
Could it be that he is the wizard who stole the mermaid's crown?
