Dear Mr. Anderson,

I was surprised to hear from you, and proud of you, for it is rare for a student at your age to summon a physical patronus. As for the concerns you raised about the Animagus in your letter, I think they are superfluous for the time being.

While an Animagus always seems to be the same as the Patronus they cast, that doesn't mean they're necessarily the same. As far as I know, there is no known Animagus that is able to change its own shape-shifting animals when the Patronus changes. Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that there are extremely few Animagus who can both transform and perform Dharma protectors.

If you're going to learn Animagus one day, don't do it on your own, I can help you with that.

Happy Christmas holidays!

Vice Chancellor Minerva McGonagall.

After reading Professor McGonagall's letter, Albert's mood did not improve, and it was already obvious to Professor McGonagall that she thought it was too early for Albert to consider Animagus. Moreover, Professor McGonagall is not really aware of this, after all, there are so few examples that can be used as research.

"Perhaps, I can ask Dumbledore. Albert had just taken out a new parchment, but after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea for the time being.

Perhaps, he is too anxious, no matter what the result is, he will not change because of his will, unless the panel can provide him with supernatural help.

Leaving these thoughts behind, Albert stretched, and when he returned to the living room, Tom was lying on the couch for a nap, and when no one was in the house, he always liked to lie on the sofa in a large shape. As Albert sat down next to him, the lazy cat's ears finally twitched, and he leaned over and rubbed his head against Albert's arm, and then climbed onto his knees.

"It's time to lose weight, eat so fat that you can't even catch a mouse. Albert said as he reached out and scratched Tom's ear and brushed it with a comb, and the guy squinted his eyes with pleasure.

"You say...... Shall I take you to Hogwarts, then you'll have to catch rats on your own. Albert joked, but there are a lot of people at the school who have cats, and maybe you can find a cat that only looks good.

"Meow!" Tom seemed to sense Albert's deep malice, and jumped off his knees, his stubby calves swinging, and quickly ducked behind someone's feet.

"Are you going to take Tom to school?" asked Nia, holding the cat in her arms, curiously.

"No, just to scare Tom, this guy has been fat again lately. At that moment, there was a knock on the glass outside the door, and Nia walked over and opened it to find a brown owl flying in and throwing a letter in front of Albert.

"You've got a lot of letters!" Nia looked at Albert in surprise, he had received at least six letters since he returned from Christmas break, and each letter was not remembered by the same person, and the wax badge on the back was different.

"You're busier than I am!" Herb asked, placing a cup of hot cocoa in front of Albert, "who sent it this time?"

"Professor Broad, the professor who worked at Hogwarts last semester. Albert took a sip of hot cocoa, opened the envelope, glanced at the letter, knew what was the matter, and handed it to Herb.

"Professor Broad invited you to a party?" Herb felt a little confused after reading the letter, a professor invited his son to a party about alchemy, what was the situation, Herb really didn't understand.

"It's like inviting a junior high school student to a university professor's academic seminar?"

Moreover, the other party also arranged the itinerary very sincerely, let Albert go to the Leaky Cauldron to meet first, and then the other party invited him to his manor as a guest, and then went to the alchemy party together, and finally before the school started, the professor sent him back to Hogwarts. There is no need to worry about Albert's safety at all.

"This ...... It's an academic gathering anyway. Albert replied after a moment's thought.

"Academic gathering?" Herb's face became even more strange, and he sighed softly, not saying anything, "I'll send you there then." ”

"What are you talking about, don't leave me alone, okay?" Nia pursed her mouth a little angrily, and Daisy was also curious about what they were talking about, but after listening to Herb's explanation, she was a little stunned.

"You're going out by yourself again!" Nia was a little upset, Albert managed to go home, but she didn't stay a few days and went out again, and there was no one to talk to, tell stories, or watch TV with her.

"I won't stay long, I'll be back in two days. Albert assured.

"Oh well, I know you're a busy man. Nia touched Tom's stomach and said to herself, "Tom is the best." ”

"Meow!" Tom rubbed Nia's hand, who somewhere he had found the dried fish for it to eat.

Albert was speechless for a moment, no wonder the cat would be so fat.

On the morning of January 10th, Albert appeared at the Leaky Cauldron at twelve o'clock when he had agreed with Professor Broad, and just as he was about to dine at Old Tom's, Professor Broad appeared in the bar in a cloak without warning.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Broad, would you like a drink?" said Old Tom with a smile as he greeted Professor Broad.

"Oh, no, I'm here to pick you up, I hope I didn't keep you waiting!" Professor Broad greeted Albert, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Is the apparition manifested?" Albert asked curiously.

"Yes, there's no Floo Powder connected to that place, so that's the only way to go. Professor Broad reached out his left hand, and when Albert raised his hand, the two disappeared into the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron together.

They appeared outside a villa with a nice environment, if I had to say, it could be regarded as a small manor, but it seemed that no one lived here.

"This will be the venue for this alchemy gathering, and we'll be staying here for the next two days. Professor Broad winked at Albert and said, "There are quite a few interesting books in it, I think you might be interested." ”

"It seems like it's been a long time since no one lived here. Albert raised an eyebrow.

"You're right, but it's going to have a new owner soon. Professor Broder didn't pay much attention to it, and said with a smile: "The house-elves have always been carefully maintained, so this place has always been clean and can be inhabited at will. ”

The two of them passed through a layer of protective magic like a mist, and when they entered the manor, Albert realized that the place had been protected by magic all along.

As Albert entered the house, a house-elf bowed to them and ushered them into the hall.

"Noor, we'll stay here for a few days, and arrange a room for this Mr. Anderson, the one next to the study. Professor Broad instructed the house-elf, who gave Albert a sneaky glance before bowing slightly.
