"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, but it looks like I'm a little late." Ivan closed the door and said apologetically.

"No, I just arrived not long ago." The piebald cat opened its mouth, spoke, and jumped to the ground with a light leap.

In mid-air, her figure continued to expand and expand, but in a second or two, it twisted into a middle-aged witch with square glasses and a dark green robe, who was Professor McGonagall.

Ivan's eyes were hot for a while, this ability to switch between the two forms without a wand or incantation, no matter how many times he saw it, Ivan felt that it was very magical.

"So, before we start our studies in earnest, I have to ask the question, how much do you know about Animagus?" Professor McGonagall helped her square glasses and asked aloud as she walked back to the lecture table.

Ivan thought for a moment, and then said solemnly.

"The Animagus is an advanced transfiguration technique used by wizards on themselves.

There is no need to chant spells or use a wand when you become proficient, the magic effect is to transform yourself into some kind of animal, mostly used to detect or avoid danger, and few people are wary of an ordinary creature......

There are some risks associated with the initial transition, so the practice of the Animagus usually requires a bit of luck in addition to talent and perseverance....."

Ivan recalls the description of Animagus in the original book, and talks eloquently about the materials he consulted last year.

Professor McGonagall's expression became more and more satisfied, which meant that Ivan did not make the decision to practice Animagus on the spur of the moment, but was prepared and consulted a lot of information.

Waiting for Ivan to finish his understanding, Professor McGonagall continued.

"That's a good point, but you're missing a few! First, Animagus transformations are usually limited to normal creatures, and turning into magical creatures can have unforeseen consequences.

Second, this transfiguration technique needs to be reported to the Ministry of Magic after it has been practiced, and since the 20th century, there have only been seven Animagus registered so far! So the Animagus Transfiguration is not a little dangerous, but extremely dangerous! ”

At this, Professor McGonagall glanced at Ivan, hoping that he would understand the danger, and then continued. "Of course, the danger is not constant, and the higher the level of Transfiguration, the lower the risk of corresponding Transfiguration."

Ivan didn't care about the risk of transformation in McGonagall's mouth, he still had some confidence in the level of transformation he brought, and he also had a temporary buff like a Xueba experience card, which should not overturn.

But Professor McGonagall's remarks about reporting to the Ministry of Magic made it difficult for Ivan.

Ivan grimaced, he didn't want his Animagus transformation to be known to everyone, in that case, the value of this magic would be greatly reduced.

Can I not report it?

Ivan quietly asked, but Professor McGonagall just ignored him as if he didn't see it.

Ivan was not discouraged, Professor McGonagall didn't say anything, which largely meant that he would not interfere, so it should be up to him to register this matter...

Just as Ivan was thinking about things, Professor McGonagall had already carefully introduced him to the difficulties of Animagus's cultivation, and Ivan quickly sorted out his mood and listened attentively to every step.

The practice of the Animagus is extremely tedious, and the first step is to hold a leaf of the mandrake in his mouth for a whole month.

It must be counted from one full moon to another, and the leaves must not be left in the middle of the mouth, otherwise it will start again.

After a month, you can use this leaf to make a cumbersome potion, and finally bury the potion in a place that is completely undisturbed and does not come into contact with the sun, and wait until a storm of thunder and lightning comes...

If the potion is completely blood-red, it means that everything is correct, and then the potion can be drunk to start the first transformation of the Animagus....

Listening to the steps of the practice, Ivan frowned, this is too troublesome...

He also thought that the transformation of Animagus only required a high level of transformation spell to be practiced.

"Professor McGonagall, is potion making necessary?" Ivan couldn't help but ask.

The other steps are a bit more cumbersome and can be solved, but it is more difficult to bury the potion in one place and wait for the storm, who knows when the storm will come around here?

It's hard to go abroad and find a stormy place to bring buried potions, right?

"Not really." Professor McGonagall shook her head, but before Ivan could be pleased, she continued.

"But this can greatly reduce the difficulty and danger of the practice, unless you are confident that you have the transformation skills of Principal Albus, otherwise, you better follow the steps honestly!"

Professor McGonagall swung her wand in the air, and the glow of magic swirled through the air, slowly transforming into several half-human, half-monster creatures, their forms twisted and their expressions painful.

"These are the wizards who have failed to transform in the past, and so far there is no way to restore the wizards who have failed to transform to their original state." Professor McGonagall spoke very seriously, not jokingly, and warned Ivan that he did not want to be like this, and that it was better not to mess around in private.

Ivan had no choice but to dispel his previous unrealistic thoughts, he was not confident that his transfiguration skills were comparable to Dumbledore, even in the blessed state of the experience card.

At this moment, McGonagall placed a young emerald green leaf in front of Ivan.

"This is the leaf of the mandrake, and you should be glad that your Professor Sprout recently brought in a batch of mandrake, which saved a lot of trouble."

"As for the timing of the specific practice, it's up to you." With that, Professor McGonagall paused, then said. "Maybe you can look at the Muggle weather forecast and choose which day is the right day to start."

You also know the Muggle weather forecast, Ivan is still very interested, and it seems that McGonagall, who often goes in and out of the Muggle world, is not ignorant of life there.

It's just that Ivan doesn't want to wait stupidly for the opportunity, God knows how long he will have to wait for a storm, and if he can't wait for several years, then won't he be busy in vain?

Ivan thinks that the Room of Requirement might be able to create a scene where the Animagus Transfiguration can be practiced...

After Ivan took the leaves of the mandrake, Professor McGonagall handed over a study notebook.

Opening the notes and looking at them twice, Ivan found that it was full of tips on practicing the Animagus Transfiguration, written in great detail, highlighting some dangerous points, apparently sorted out by Professor McGonagall these days....
