"How did you clean the discolored giant snail slime from the sides of that hallway?" In Professor McGonagall's office, William asked the professor with some curiosity.

"If I'm not mistaken, this kind of thing is extremely difficult to clean up."

"Ah, you can tell it's the slime of a chameleon snail? It's quite a lot of knowledge. Professor McGonagall looked surprised to hear William's question.

"Untreated and completely discolored giant snail slime smells pungent and is extremely corrosive. This is what I saw from Mr. Scamander's writings. ”

William smiled modestly, he hadn't read "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the book still had a very detailed description of this creature, which is more common in the wizarding world.

"Exactly, if it were in a class on the protection of magical beasts, Professor Kettleburn would definitely add five points to you.

I suggest you take Conservation of Fantastic Beasts as part of your elective next year, and I'm sure Professor Kettleburn will be happy to get to know you. ”

No, he's probably choking on me, Professor McGonagall. Because by this time next year, he should have retired to his home and started to live an old age. William complained in his heart.

"However, I can't deal with those annoying things right away, so I have to use Transfiguration to cover the outside of that wall to block out the ugly text."

So that's it!

"It's no wonder you were able to handle it all in such a short period of time, it's such an ingenious approach.

I'd love to learn this course with Professor Kettleburn, but I've heard that the professor is approaching 80 years old this year and is almost retiring. William asked.

"Yes, Professor Kettleburn is very old, and he has asked Dumbledore to retire more than once, so that he can spend more time with his great-grandson.

But as you know, there are so few Magizoologists as good as him these days. So, if nothing else, I'm afraid he will have to teach on the job for a few years. Professor McGonagall explained.

There is no way, there are only these wizards in the wizarding world, and even fewer famous magizoologists. If Professor Skelburn leaves, Hogwarts may not be able to teach the course.

"And what do you think of Hagrid? I feel that his knowledge of these magical creatures is no less than that of Professor Kettleburn. ”

"Hagrid? He's a good candidate, but I don't know if people will accept someone who has made mistakes in the past. Without further ado, let's get started with today's training! ”

Yes, Professor McGonagall. Because all the framing and slander that Hagrid has suffered this year will be clarified by the appearance of the diary.

It is true that people rarely tolerate a person who has made a mistake in the past.

But for those good people who have been wronged for many years, people will always have a sympathetic mentality.

Although they may not have thought so in the first place when these people were wronged.

The same is true in both the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

Therefore, the parents of the little wizard can accept such a hunting ground keeper who has not graduated and become the new professor of the protection of magical creatures.

But if he had taken the diary in advance, would Hagrid's story have been changed by himself? This is the reason why William is very entangled.

He had imagined that in the second grade, the best time to capture the diary would be when he was just starting school.

As soon as he entered school, he found an opportunity to attack Ginny, knocked her unconscious, and then took the diary and revised her memory.

This would allow him to get his hands on the journal without even noticing, because it was not yet all about to begin, and Dumbledore would not have been able to notice it.

However, William was a little afraid that the diary had completely controlled Ginny, and he was a little worried that Riddle's counterattack would cause too much movement, and he was also worried that it would affect the future plot.

That's why I gave up on this tempting idea.

If he had indeed seized the diary at the beginning, as originally planned, Hagrid would probably not have been able to prove his innocence for the rest of his life, which William did not want to see.

He had already regarded this upright and honest stupid big man as his friend.

What to do, calculate the time, the first attack will occur at the end of the month.

If only I could keep an eye on Ginny's movements.

"You seem to be a little distracted today." Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted William's thoughts, and she noticed that the students in front of her were always in a trance.

"Is it because of Professor Snape?" She asked William.

"No, it's over. Professor McGonagall, let's move on. ”

With that, William used Occlumency to get all the messy thoughts out of his mind, and then continued to learn the first step of the Animagus, meditation.

He had been learning Animagus for about a month, but he was still in the early stages of getting started, so you can imagine the difficulty of this spell.

It was probably by far the hardest spell William had ever been exposed to.

"'Don't be in a hurry, William.'" As if sensing his impatience, Professor McGonagall spoke.

"There is no trick to learning Animagus, and I started with meditation step by step. Most wizards may even learn for several years before they gradually master the art. ”

William did not reply to the professor, for he had already devoted himself to meditation by this time.

I don't know if it's because this morning, the duel with Snape inspired William's potential.

At this moment, when he closed his eyes as usual, controlling the magic in his body to flow in a wonderful way, William felt something different for the first time.

In his mind, there was a vague, unreadable creature.

It didn't look big, and William wanted to get a closer look at the creature, but it seemed to be gently surrounded by a layer of fog that prevented him from seeing what it looked like.

Other than that, red, which is a color that William could feel.

It just appeared out of nowhere, in William's mind.

Is this his own Animagus form?

Which birds are red?

William imagined with some curiosity.

With the flow of magic, William could also feel a strange sensation all over his body.

Some of the skin was faintly itchy, as if something was about to grow out of their skin, and the tail vertebrae of the body also felt the same way.

William did not continue to practice according to Professor McGonagall's method, but simply memorized the sensation and detached himself from his apparent state.

"How?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"It's never been better, and I've really found that feeling."

William thought Professor McGonagall had carefully described the feeling she had just experienced.

Red?

Are there any birds with red feathers?

It doesn't feel like a flying creature.

William thought wildly in his heart.
