Chapter 207: Professor McGonagall's "Patronage"

Professor McGonagall rarely does this, she has always been as direct, as direct as her impartiality. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info That's what Bruce was in awe of, but today she was acting against the usual level.

Bruce was worried, and he began to think that Professor McGonagall had led him to the Headmaster's office and ...... Expel!!

However, after leaving the library, the idea was rejected, as the direction they went was not to the Headmaster's office at all, but to Professor McGonagall's own office.

Bruce felt as if things weren't as bad as he thought.

When he arrived at the office, Bruce honestly stood at his desk and waited for Professor McGonagall's "lecture"!

"Bruce, I don't think I need to repeat the school rules to you!" Professor McGonagall looked at him solemnly.

Bruce hurriedly said, "Of course not, but...... Professor McGonagall, I know it's wrong, please don't fire me. ”

"Humph!" Professor McGonagall said sternly, "The invisibility cloak, oil lamp, and shorthand quill are quite well prepared. Looks like this isn't the first time! ”

Bruce touched his nose in embarrassment, and after hesitation, he decided to tell the truth: "The first grade went in once because of the Philosopher's Stone, and the second grade also went in because of the secret room...... I've been in there once, too! ”

"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall incredulously, "It's unbelievable that my students have entered the forbidden section three times!" You know? Bruce, I can fire you right now. ”

Bruce panicked and hurriedly said, "I was wrong, Professor McGonagall! I can accept how you punish me, but don't fire me. ”

"You know what? Bruce, you've disappointed me so much. Professor McGonagall said angrily, "I think you'll be a proud student of your grades and your talent for magic, but your repeated violations have made me meet a bad student who is impulsive and ignores the school rules." ”

Bruce was also a regular in the office "before", so he was also very experienced, and any explanation after being caught was superfluous, and the only way to do it was to be sincere and repentant. Then all you need to do is wait quietly for the verdict to be pronounced.

Professor McGonagall stopped talking, and Bruce waited quietly for a minute or so, and finally the "verdict" was announced.

"I had to deduct 20 Gryffindor points for your violations, and for that you have to be responsible for cleaning the trophy showroom for the rest of the year."

Bruce said apologetically, "I accept such a punishment, and I am truly sorry for disappointing you, Professor!" ”

He did feel sorry for Professor McGonagall's attention, but he didn't regret it. On the contrary, he was a little happy, although he was deducted 20 points, at least he would not be expelled, and Bruce was absolutely confident that he would earn those 20 points back. It's just that in this situation now, it doesn't show a happy expression on the face.

Professor McGonagall nodded, sighed, took a notebook from a drawer and placed it on the table, and said, "This is the second time I've been a student of my own since I became a Hogwarts professor. ”

Bruce smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Professor." ”

Professor McGonagall handed the notebook to Bruce and said, "Take it!" ”

Bruce took the notebook and asked, "Professor, what is this?" ”

Professor McGonagall said: "This is my note from when I was a young man studying Animagus! ”

Bruce looked at her with joy and emotion, and said, "Professor, I'm ...... Thank you! ”

Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "The Animagus process is very difficult, so you need to be very careful, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. In addition, I want you to promise me two conditions. ”

Bruce immediately said, "Of course it's fine. ”

"First, the Animagus method must not be handed over to anyone else, I know you have a good relationship with Harry, but you must not give this to them." Professor McGonagall said.

Bruce was surprised and said, "Why? Professor, unless necessary I like to hide from my friends. ”

Professor McGonagall said, "This is very necessary, and the key to Animagus is magic. You know, Bruce, not everyone is as different as you. Otherwise, this is not concealment, but a harm to one's friend. ”

Bruce nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to do it!" ”

"Second, you must tell me the first time you transform into Animagus, and I'll be there to transform." Professor McGonagall said.

"No problem." Bruce said happily.

Professor McGonagall nodded and said sternly, "Go back, but remember...... If there is a next ......"

"There will never be a next time, Professor! I don't want to be fired. Bruce laughed.

Bruce almost jumped up in excitement as he closed the door of his office, but he didn't expect to get a "cheatbook" by mistake this time, and Professor McGonagall's notes were much more detailed than the contents of the forbidden book section.

"Haha! It's amazing, it's so awesome! Bruce said excitedly from the hallway.

In the office, Professor McGonagall took a photo album and looked at it carefully in the light, it was a group photo, there were four people in the picture, one with eyes and a face that was somewhat similar to Harry, and the other was short and fat and ridiculously good-looking. The other one is the young Lupin, and the last one is more or less shocking, because it is an exact face like the one on the wanted post, the only difference is that he is young and handsome in the photo, Sirius Black.

"Alas!" Professor McGonagall sighed and took off her glasses, exclaiming, "At the same age, my choice is still the same as that time." I just hope Bruce Harry doesn't do what they did! ”

……

Bruce was unaware of any of these things, and was now preoccupied with the notes that Professor McGonagall had given him, which he had been reading all night when he returned to his dorm.

At this point, he finally understood why Professor McGonagall would object to him practicing Animagus in the first place, and that she must be present for the first transformation. The difficulty of Animagus is that transformation requires the full power of the transformer, and this is precisely what makes it dangerous and even deadly.

(PS: It's starting to be messed up!) )

When Animagus transforms, the magic will spread all over the body, and the magic is that when the transformation is completed, the magic will be restored again without even a trace of consumption, and during this period, if there is a problem, it will be fatal, and the only solution is to have another wizard on the side to help.

Depending on the situation, the helper can use potions to replenish the transformer's mana, or use a spell to forcibly interrupt the transformation. The former is still dangerous even if he succeeds in transforming next time, while the latter is forced to do so, once the mana is exhausted after interrupting a little, if there is a three-long and two-short one that becomes a squib, it will be light.

What's even more incredible is that Animagus is an "evolving" spell that requires mana that varies according to the age of the user, simply put, if a teenager transforms, the mana required is equivalent to a glass of water. But a powerful wizard transforms into a man who needs a bucket of water. So theoretically, it would be easier to use the Animagus at a young age, but the younger people are not skilled in the control of magic.

That's why Professor McGonagall finally agreed to Bruce's request, as there were very few people at his age who were skilled at mastering mana and had that "bug" way of storing it.

By the time Bruce finished reading Professor McGonagall's notes, it was already dawn, and he had read them all night. The more he looked closer, the more he had to understand the dangerous situations and be 100% confident in solving them.

When Bruce closes his notebook, he wants to try to transform now, but he decides to "think twice" for safety reasons.

Time passed slowly, and life at Hogwarts didn't go too badly, it was probably the longest period of quiet time Bruce and the four of them had spent at the school in three years, although Sirius Black had been seen near Hogwarts, but at least so far there was no trace of him in the school. And the Dementors that Harry had been worried about didn't hurt anyone.

Professor Lupin's classes won everyone's affection, but for some unknown reason he would disappear for a while every month. Then there's Ron, and it's Quidditch season in November, and all four teams are training with each other. Ron was a reserve player, but he was also involved in training.

His position is goalkeeper, which is not what Ron was looking for, but captain Angelina and former captain Wood are very unhappy with the performance of the current goalkeeper. Gryffindor desperately needed a credible goalkeeper, and Ron took over the load.

Just over the weekend of the week before the season. It was a long-awaited day for the entire Hogwarts Year 3 onwards, as they would be able to go to the long-awaited Hogsmeade this Saturday. Of course, Harry wasn't among them, and although he was eager to go to Hogsmeade, his guardian didn't sign it for him.

Early in the morning, the students gathered at the gate of the castle to wait for the moment of departure, and although Bruce Hermione and Ron were very excited, they still tried to behave as normally as possible, and they did not want to "add fuel to the fire" to Harry.

"Pay attention to them all!" In front of the castle, Professor McGonagall instructed the crowd on precautions, and Filch carefully checked each student's signature.

"Everyone should remember that going to Hogwarts is a privilege, but if your actions ruin the school's reputation...... Sorry, your privileges will be banned! ”

Bruce, Hermione, and Ron all three changed into their normal clothes and waited to go.

"I saw Harry coming over just now." Ron said to the two.

Bruce said, "Well, I saw that too. This is not surprising, in fact, he has been asking the professor to sign since the day before yesterday. He searched the entire school except Snape. ”

"Look, Harry!" Hermione said.

As the three of them looked, Harry hurried to Professor McGonagall with a piece of paper.

"Parents can't visit without signing a consent form, Harry! I don't think I need to repeat it anymore! Professor McGonagall said

Harry hurriedly said, "Professor, as long as you sign it for me, I'm good to go!" ”

Professor McGonagall said, "I can't sign, Harry. I am not your guardian. So...... I'm sorry, Harry! I can't help you. ”

Harry nodded helplessly.
