"Do you know the origin of the Animagus?"

In the Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall asked William.

"Seems to be from an ancient magic?" William replied with some uncertainty.

"Yes, if you look closely, it's not hard to see that Transfiguration isn't the same as the spells you've been exposed to in Charms class.

Those are the products of modern magic, and wizards have streamlined some of the ancient magic and organized it into a system of modern wizards' spells.

But what we learn is not the same, Transfiguration is pure ancient magic, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient wizards, have you ever heard of a wizard known as a druid? Professor McGonagall continued.

？？？

Druid?

How can there still be these crazy people who believe in nature in this world?

Is this going to be messed up?

"Are you the wizards who worship the ways of nature and spend their days in the jungle in the company of wild beasts?"

"What are you talking about? By druids, I mean members of the intellectual and clerical class of wizards during the Celtic period. Professor McGonagall explained, somewhat confused.

Didn't you grow up in the wizarding world, how could you not know about a druid?

"Because they are good at transforming into all kinds of beasts, and they have a lot of knowledge in herbalism, so people call them druids.

In Roman and Greek mythology, the word represents the goddess of the forest. This title has been passed down to this day. Professor McGonagall explained to William, still a little puzzled why William had such a big reaction to hearing the word.

I see!

Scared the hell out of me!

William couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, and when he heard this word, he immediately thought of those beings who believed in nature in the online games of his previous life.

Originally, this world was much more complicated than William imagined, and if such a special group of beings were added, it would be even more chaotic.

Maybe at some point, a black door will suddenly appear in this world, and a group of green-skinned creatures shouting Lockta Puppet will rush out of it.

William's mind didn't know where to fly anymore.

"The Druids' contribution to the wizarding world was immense, and in the field of herbalism, they discovered the different reactions of different woods to magic, and the early wandology was compiled by them.

Not only that, but according to the historical sources available to wizards, Transfiguration also originated from this group of druids, and the Animagus is such a spell that has been passed down to this day, allowing wizards to learn to transform into an animal. ”

"However, this technique has lost a lot of key things in the long course of history, compared to those ancient wizards, modern wizards are very limited in using Animagus, we can only transform into an animal, and this form is not under the control of wizards, and we cannot conjure magical creatures." At this, Professor McGonagall's tone was somewhat regretful.

yes, that's what Wei regrets as well. He learned from the history books that there were no restrictions on how wizards could perform Transfiguration during that time, especially the druids, who could switch between many creatures at will.

There has even been a powerful wizard who can transform into an adult fire dragon, and there are very detailed records about this in the wizarding world, because the fire dragon that this wizard turned into easily destroyed a city.

As you can imagine, at that time, wizards could transform into all kinds of creatures at will, even powerful magical creatures.

At that time, I don't know what the magic world was like, it should have been very brilliant! William thought with some envy.

It's just that this valuable knowledge has been lost so much by now, which is really a very regrettable thing, and according to the urine nature of modern wizards, there may be no hope of recovering this magical skill for the rest of their lives.

"Generally speaking, the size of the Animagus is related to the caster, and the animal it transforms into will symbolize the main personality trait of the caster."

As she spoke, Professor McGonagall's body changed suddenly, turning into a black tabby cat, the black cat gently jumped onto the table in front of William, a pair of large human eyes quietly stared at William, and around the eyes there was this circle of amber patterns, exactly the same as the patterns on Professor McGonagall's glasses.

"Remember the first Transfiguration lesson? You can see my Animagus form by the pattern around my eyes. Professor McGonagall said to William, having regained her human form,

"This is also one of the common ways to distinguish Animagus, because the animals that wizards transform into will have some traces on their bodies due to their own clothing."

Of course, this is still too far away for you, and for beginners, the first thing you have to do is to empty your mind and concentrate on imagining what you will look like when you are transformed. There are some detailed steps on this part of the book. ”

Professor McGonagall took off a small bracelet and waved her wand to turn it back into its original form, an old booklet.

"There are also some common sense information about the Animagus that I have put together, you can take it back and read it first."

Can the Transfiguration Charm still be played like this?

William took it with a confused expression, he glanced at the cover on it, and wrote "Animagus Transfiguration Guide" on the top

"This is a textbook that I accidentally found when I first learned Transfiguration, I don't know which wizard compiled it, it's very well written, you can take it back and read it carefully."

"You know Occlumency, which is good, and the first step in practicing Animagus is to empty your mind. In addition, your Eagle Eye spell also gave you a slight touch to the human body, so it should be much easier for you to practice than others. ”

"Okay, it's not early today, so let's stop here." Professor McGonagall's face was also a little tired, she finished reading the students' homework in batches, and went to the Transfiguration room on the second floor with William, where she had been busy all day, and the witch was not too young, and she could feel her energy gradually declining every year.

You know, Professor McGonagall was also a very good Auror when she was young, if it weren't for her age, how could she be so easily stunned by Snape's classroom.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall. Thank you again for teaching me the art of Animagus. William said gratefully to the professor.

On Friday I was going to practice dueling with Professor Flitwick, and on Sunday I was going to learn Animagus with Professor McGonagall, and I was going to make wizard cards, plus supermagic skills and that new spell experiment.

My Hogwarts life is too colorful.
