After lunch, Harry and Ron were still speculating about Professor Moody's movements last night, and Ivan and Hermione had to hide in the library to avoid being questioned by the two of them.

"Are we going to continue practicing magic today?" Hermione, holding a thick book, sat down beside Ivan and asked.

"No, let's read the book, I'm just looking up some information." Ivan also got up and grabbed a few books on the transformation of creatures from the bookshelf on one side and flipped through them.

He was so busy investigating Barty Jr. and Moody that he almost forgot about it.

Fortunately, the poor scimitar-horned snorer did not starve to death, and he had put some grass and leaves in the jar in advance, along with the corresponding water, enough for the little creature to eat for a week.

After a few days of observation, Ivan was finally sure that the scimitar would never change back to its original form—it was a real biological transformation.

He had even tried to cast a Transfiguration Charm on the Scimitar Snorkel again, turning it into a button.

The whole spell casting process was very smooth, and there were no obstacles in the whole process, no different from other creatures that had been transformed in the past, and after a period of time, the button would turn back into a scimitar snoring beast.

However, after several experiments, the poor little fellow was made a little nervous by him, and Ivan was very worried that he would accidentally kill it, so he let it go and did not continue to toss.

Ivan spent an entire afternoon rummaging through materials related to high-end transfiguration magic.

Since his Transfiguration had reached level seven, the increase in proficiency had become like a turtle's crawl, and normal magic practice had had had little effect.

So he needs to find the key to the transformation of creatures, understand the principle of this, if he can really crack it, his transformation technique may be able to rise to some incredible height, and the benefits are self-evident, not to mention, at least he can have endless wealth.

After all, he can create creatures out of thin air, so isn't it easy to turn stone into gold?

Wait, turn stone into gold......

Ivan touched his chin, muttered for a while, hurriedly threw the book in his hand aside, took an old book from the bookshelf on the other side, opened it and read it.

"Ivan? Are you looking for something? Hermione also noticed Ivan's strange appearance and asked curiously.

"Do you think it's possible for a wizard to transform a piece of wood into a completely non-existent creature and create a new species?" Ivan flipped through the book and said casually.

"How is that possible? Professor McGonagall told us at the beginning of the school year that magic can't change the nature of things! Hermione retorted, she thought it was unbelievable that even Professor Dumbledore couldn't do such a thing.

Ivan, however, shook his head, pointed to a certain line of the page in his hand, and said with certainty. "No, it's possible! Alchemy can do something similar. ”

Hermione leaned forward to look at it and read it out:

"Ancient alchemy involves the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing functions, the most famous of which is the turning of stones into gold and the brewing of elixirs of immortality......"

"This shows that it is possible to completely transform one thing into another... At least the Philosopher's Stone can do that. Ivan raised an eyebrow and said excitedly.

Obviously, according to the above records, the Philosopher's Stone can be converted into matter, and it is completely changed, otherwise it would never be recorded in such a large book.

Because it is not a big deal to simply conjure up a piece of gold, many wizards can do it with Transfiguration, but it is only a temporary change, and it may be possible to fool Muggles, and if you dare to use it in the wizarding world, you will definitely be found out on the spot.

Although this is a little different from the original biological transformation of oneself, both of them completely changed the nature of matter, and it may be related to each other......

After consulting all this information, Ivan became more and more aware of how difficult it was to do this, and that the transformation of matter and the creation of living things should have belonged to the realm of the gods, and it was no wonder that Nicol Lemay would say that the Philosopher's Stone was the ultimate creation of alchemy......

"It seems so, but Ivan... What are you looking for this information for? Hermione, seeing the description of the Philosopher's Stone, stopped arguing with Ivan, but joked. Are you going to make a Philosopher's Stone? ”

"That might be!" Ivan laughed.

Some time ago, his alchemy has been improved to the limit of level six, and when he returns this summer, he will just ask Nicol Lemay to find a way to break through, so maybe he will be able to have his own philosopher's stone next year.

Hermione thought Ivan was joking, so she pretended to beg Ivan to get a piece of gold for herself.

The two chatted and flipped through their books, and stayed so leisurely until the evening, and then packed up their things and went to the auditorium to prepare for today's dinner.

Despite not being able to find too many key clues throughout the afternoon, Ivan was still in a good mood.

Because now there is no need to worry about the dark wizards lurking in the shadows, and there are no messy conspiracies, every day is to flip through books and bicker, this is the comfortable campus life he is looking forward to.

After dinner, Ivan went straight back to his bedroom, took out a quill, and began to write to Luna.

[I've found some news about the Trailing Tree and the Scimitar Snorer, and if we have time, we can meet the day after tomorrow evening under the Beater Willow Tree - your faithful friend Ivan Hals!] 】

After writing the contents of the letter, Ivan glanced at it a few times to make sure that there were no mistakes or omissions, and then summoned Maca to ask him to send the envelope to Luna.

Last time, I was able to solve the misunderstanding with Hermione smoothly, and thanks to the help of the little witch, this favor Ivan naturally remembered in his heart.

It just so happened that he had a live scimitar-horned snoring beast, and he had to take care of it regularly but couldn't study anything, so it was better to use it as a gift for Luna, let her help him raise it, and ask Luna to borrow it when needed.

……

After sending the letter, in the next two days, in addition to his daily classes and going to the library to look through materials, Ivan went to the Forbidden Forest to find a more suitable place to renovate.

With the scimitar-horned snoring beast, how could there be no trace immortal tree?

Although it was very difficult to create a trace immortal tree that only existed in the imagination and would bloom beautiful flowers out of thin air, the seventh-level Transfiguration Technique was enough for Ivan to overcome all kinds of difficulties.

Of course, unlike the scimitar-horned snorer, this fairy tree can't last forever, everything is just a manifestation of magic......
