Chapter 50: Animagus
Camphor grass, another name for catnip.
According to Louie's understanding, the vast majority of cats can't refuse the temptation of catnip, and he can see from Professor McGonagall's gradually confused eyes that the cats that Professor McGonagall turned into using Animagus obviously belong to the kind of cats who are interested in catnip, and must have had the experience of eating catnip before.
This was undoubtedly Louie's chance to reach out to Professor McGonagall.
Of course.
Opportunity does not refer to the present, but .... Future!
Through the magic experiments he had conducted on Lady Loris last night, Louis had determined that the Transfiguration Charm that he had resolved with the help of the Polyjuice Potion was still in the category of intermediate Transfiguration Charms, not in the category of advanced Transfiguration Charms like Animagus.
So what's the difference between the two?
Take, for example, the transformation magic that changes the structure of the body.
If Louis used the magic of the Intermediate Transformation Charm to change his body structure and obtain a strong physique like a half-blood giant, it would require continuous consumption of mana to maintain it.
Maybe on the surface, Louie, as an obscure person, didn't need to care about the loss of that bit of magic at all.
But if he suddenly encounters some kind of accident....
"Click...."
Forced to interrupt the output of the magic power of the mid-level transformation spell, his original half-blood giant-like body structure would instantly change back to its original appearance, which was very embarrassing.
The anatomy of the body changed by the magic of the Advanced Transfiguration Charm is different.
It doesn't need mana to maintain, it is permanent when it is changed.
Therefore, the use of advanced transformation spells to change the body structure is undoubtedly more in line with Louie's original intention of painstakingly researching the transformation of the body structure.
this road.
Of course, it is necessary to go step by step.
Try to complete the intermediate Transfiguration Charm experiment first, and then use the advanced Transfiguration Charm to experiment when you are more sure.
But that didn't stop Louie from laying the groundwork for the magic of the Advanced Transfiguration Spell in advance.
Isn't it?
The pot of catnip in front of Professor McGonagall was the first step for Louis to reach out to her.
Over the next period of time, Louis will use his claws to shed Professor McGonagall's external defenses little by little, and when she is wet enough, he will go deep into the magic and analyze the mystery of her Animagus form.
For this reason, Louis inevitably sold Sophia in order to further lower Professor McGonagall's vigilance.
The effect...
It's pretty good.
One of the students deliberately asked his mother for a gift, which pleased Professor McGonagall, who was not smiling on the surface like an old fellow, but was full of suspicion inside.
Then, as the senior students of the Transfiguration Club arrived one after another, Professor McGonagall stopped grading the homework and waited for everyone to take their seats, smiling and explaining:
"Before the party begins, I'd like to introduce you to a new member of the club, a brilliant first-year, Mr. Louis Rogers!"
There was a burst of applause, and Louis waited for the applause to end slowly, and smiled to everyone: "Hello everyone, I'm Louis Rogers, thank you Professor McGonagall for inviting me to the party, and I'm glad to meet you wonderful seniors here, thank you!" ”
After Louis introduced himself, there was another round of applause, and then it was time for the senior students to introduce themselves.
Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club has a small number of people, including Louie, with only a dozen people.
But all of the people sitting here are masters of Transfiguration Charms, such as the Hufflepuff senior next to Louie, whose paper published in Transfiguration Today is likely to win this year.
The topic of discussion at today's meeting was the Hufflepuff senior's thesis, and Professor McGonagall reminded Louie to subscribe to Transfiguration Today in the future, so that he would not have to read a copy with other club members at every meeting.
Louis did not refuse, and readily agreed.
Naturally, he didn't think that Professor McGonagall was trying to increase the magazine's sales, and soon became intoxicated with the content of the meeting.
Because....
That Hufflepuff senior's thesis was on the Animagus, and it helped Louie in his work on the magic of the advanced Transfiguration Charm!
Thanks to Louie's homework on the analysis of the magic of advanced Transfiguration in advance, and he also read a lot of books about Transfiguration in the library, otherwise Professor McGonagall and these senior seniors might not have been able to understand what they were discussing.
But it doesn't matter if you really don't understand it.
Anyway, when everyone started to discuss, Louie turned on the "video recording" function in this party, and in the future, he could go through this "video" repeatedly on the mental hard disk to analyze whether the summary of these senior seniors' views on Animagus was correct.
Pity.
Louis was slightly disappointed by these seniors, including the Hufflepuff senior who wrote the essay and was likely to win an award in Transfiguration Today.
What they discussed, Louis basically knew from books, such as Animagus is a magical magic that allows wizards to change between human and animal forms, and for example, if a wizard wants to master Animagus, he needs not only advanced knowledge of potions and metamorphosis, but also a certain amount of courage and luck.
More often than not, they were discussing how to tinker, summarize, and summarize the manuscripts left by their predecessors for the Animagus, without any innovative ideas, and not even one of them tried to become an Animagus.
Perhaps there is a slight reason for Professor McGonagall.
She always reminded everyone present:
"Becoming an Animagus is more difficult than you think, and I must caution everyone not to try to become one, especially when there is no one around. Because.... Many of the wizards who have tried before you to become an Animagus have almost all failed to become half-human, half-beast, and end their lives in agony. ”
Then, there really isn't anyone who has the courage to try to become an Animagus, even if they can ask Professor McGonagall for help and have a good chance of avoiding something terrible.
However, there were some things that disappointed Louis at this party, and naturally there were things that satisfied him.
For example, Professor McGonagall opened a small stove at the party, and Louis felt that he had benefited a little, at least deepening his understanding of the magic of the primary transformation charm.
By the end of the meeting, Professor McGonagall was equally unsparing in instructing the crowd on the Transfiguration Charm, which was clearly Louie's favorite part.
He was curious to know what Professor McGonagall thought of him.
So, when Louis waited a long time for him to perform the Transfiguration Charm for Professor McGonagall, he had nothing to hide in front of everyone.
Followed by.
"Boom!"
A trace of black mist floated out behind Louie, causing the senior students to shrink into a ball and hide behind Professor McGonagall, whose eyes twitched slightly.
Apparently.
No one knew that Louie would have to make such a big move when he showed off his skill in using Transfiguration Charms.
Professor McGonagall didn't expect it!
However, at this time, Louie, who wanted to show off in front of everyone, didn't care so much, his mind was already completely immersed in his own understanding of the Transfiguration Charm, and subconsciously manipulated the silent magic power into the magic of the Transfiguration Charm that he understood, and then manipulated the magic power into the teacup beside him.
As the Transfiguration Charm entered the teacup, Louis felt a little strange.
For a moment, he actually felt that the teacup in front of him was like the plasticine he played with when he was a child, and he was allowed to knead it round and flattened and knead it into any shape at will.
In that wonderful state, Louis did not rush to shape the surface form of the plasticine, but began to shape the internal subtlety of the plasticine.
Countless tiny particles began to spin under the rubbing of his magical power....
Countless colorful colors spread out under his magic, reorganized, repeated, repeated, repeated.....
No one knew that what seemed to be a few seconds of shaping and deformation had already allowed Louis to consume half of the mana in his "Magic Golden Pill" at this time.
Louis himself felt something, frowning slightly, and suddenly interrupted the previous shaping inspiration.
The inspiration for shaping disappeared suddenly, and Louis couldn't help but stop the output of magic power, looked at the teacup with only two extra cat's claws due to the failure of the Transfiguration Charm, and shook his head helplessly and sighed.
However, the Transfiguration Charm, which Louis considered a failure, was not the same in the eyes of Professor McGonagall.
At first, Professor McGonagall's attention was on Louie, lest his silent magic suddenly burst into vogue and kill everyone in the office.
But with Louie's precise manipulation of the silent magic, turning it into a transformation spell, out of thin air caused the incomparably ordinary teacup to grow two cat's claws....
Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly changed from worry to shock!
Immediately afterwards, she stepped forward and carefully observed Louie's deformed teacup, and after a long time, she took a long breath and said to Louis with a terrifying expression:
"Mister Rogers, excuse me.... How do you use Animagus on a teacup? ”
Louie: o_O???
Animagus?
