Chapter 38: Ask McGonagall
There is still about a month before the end of this semester, to be precise, Harry has killed Voldemort, the Horcruxes are still to be found, and Li Qingzhu can't hand over the crown to Dumbledore so quickly, he has to wait a few days.
During this time, Li Qingzhu spent most of his time consulting with Professor McGonagall and, incidentally, Neville.
After all, he still has a task that he has no eyebrows at all, that is, to completely master the task of Animagus, since the last time Professor McGonagall said in the medical center that he would help Li Qingzhu improve, Li Qingzhu has not gone to her, and now that he is free, he still has to ask for advice.
Professor McGonagall is the best professor at Hogwarts other than Dumbledore, and she is also an Animagus, so she is the most qualified to teach Li Qingzhu.
"You're a busy man, Professor Li, I haven't seen you in a few days."
In Professor McGonagall's office, she looked at Li Qingzhu with a straight face, and Li Qingzhu couldn't even joke about this kind of serious person.
He only smiled dryly: "There was a little thing some time ago, and now it's been dealt with, hehe." ”
Professor McGonagall just looked at him indifferently, making Li Qingzhu laugh a few times before he stopped himself.
Seeing that Li Qingzhu was no longer smiling, Professor McGonagall said, "Transfiguration is a very difficult course to test the ability to operate, and Animagus is even more difficult in it. In fact, if you want to master the Animagus perfectly, you have to be very precise in your control of the details. ”
"Well, you learn Transfiguration from me first. We start with the basics. ”
After listening to Professor McGonagall's words, Li Qingzhu said exaggeratedly: "Huh? Want to start from scratch? ”
Professor McGonagall looked at him as a matter of course and said, "Of course, it's said that this is a difficult technique to master. Do you still want to reach the sky in one step? ”
"How long will it take?"
Li Qingzhu said with a bitter face, he still expects to finish his studies in a month.
"About two semesters, if you are talented, you can complete it in one semester."
Professor McGonagall had roughly estimated that this was her ideal pace, as the fastest student in the school hadn't mastered Transfiguration before the end of the semester.
"That. Professor McGonagall, let's discuss, if there's a simpler and faster way? ”
Li Qingzhu leaned in with a shy face and approached Professor McGonagall with a smile. That's as cheap as it can be.
Professor McGonagall frowned at him, and lectured him with a serious look, saying, "Lee, don't be too ambitious, I told you that this is a very rigorous science. If you try to be fast, you will be left with a lot of trouble. You've got to take it steady! ”
Li Qingzhu scratched his head and said with a distressed expression: "I also know this truth, but I have very important things that must be completely mastered by Animagus within a month." ”
Professor McGonagall looked at Li Qingzhu fixedly, and Li Qingzhu did not dodge, but also looked at her seriously.
"Professor McGonagall, whatever the method, if it can be done quickly, please teach me."
Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment. Then he quickly said, "There is no shortcut to any magic, that's for sure." ”
Li Qingzhu was immediately disappointed after hearing this.
"But I have a solution here. It allows you to skip the theoretical foundations and start practicing them, provided you have the talent. ”
Professor McGonagall's words gave Li Qingzhu a glimmer of hope, and he looked at Professor McGonagall in surprise and said, "What is the solution?!" ”
"As I said just now, the Animagus is a great test of detail control, and the method I am talking about is the trick of detail control, if you can master this well, then the Animagus should be able to use it as you like, such as the Animagus of a certain part."
After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she took off her glasses and looked straight at Li Qingzhu.
Li Qingzhu didn't know what Professor McGonagall was doing at first, but it wasn't until Professor McGonagall's pupils became cat-like pupils that she could freely change the size of her pupils, and Li Qingzhu understood that Professor McGonagall had partially transformed Animagus, only changing her eyes.
This technique gave Li Qingzhu a lot of inspiration, if he could master the changes of a single part, then he would not need to completely transform in the future.
Professor McGonagall regained her eyes, then put her glasses back on.
"It's not easy to do that, but if your body is fit for Animagus, you should be able to master it quickly."
Professor McGonagall made a summary at the end, and Li Qingzhu naturally threw all his thoughts on this so-called trick.
Through Professor McGonagall's explanation, Li Qingzhu gradually figured out what this so-called trick was.
It turns out that this is a series of tests to test whether he is suitable for Animagistinization, and the first step is to release the magic of his body from his body again and again like squeezing toothpaste, and Professor McGonagall will come to test whether the magic he releases each time is consistent, and if so, how far apart is it.
If the amount of mana released each time is stable to a certain level, or if the deviation is minimal, then Professor McGonagall can teach him the next steps.
According to the method that Professor McGonagall said, Li Qingzhu was a little inflexible and squeezed the magic power in his body, so that it came out of the staff of the vibranium tin spirit staff.
Professor McGonagall took the magic from her wand and led it to herself, where she took a closer look at her glasses before saying, "Alright, let's start the next batch." ”
Li Qingzhu honestly squeezed out the second ball of magic again.
Professor McGonagall took it again, looked at it carefully, and assessed a point in her mind.
In this way, Li Qingzhu squeezed out ten balls of magic power one after another, and these magic powers emitted green fluorescence, looking like fireflies.
Professor McGonagall visited the ten magic powers in front of him one by one, and tapped them with his wand one by one, her techniques seemed to Li Qingzhu to be like play, he didn't understand the meaning of doing this at all, at most he only knew that Professor McGonagall was grading him.
"Poof."
Suddenly, Professor McGonagall scattered the ten balls of magic with a wave of her hand, and then looked at Li Qingzhu with a serious face.
Li Qingzhu knew that this was going to be the last ultimatum, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
"Well, as I thought, your magic control isn't that precise."
Professor McGonagall said firmly, Li Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, he had done his best, you must know that he had not used magic much since the formation of the magic circuit, and it was very good to be able to squeeze the magic out of his body little by little.
"I know ......"
Li Qingzhu said with a little regret, he lowered his head and began to imagine that he would still teach at Hogwarts until the second year.
"But ......"
At this moment, Professor McGonagall suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Li Qingzhu suddenly raised her head and looked at her in a daze.
"Although not all mana is the same, the accuracy is still under control, so you can move on to the next step."
Professor McGonagall gradually showed a smile on her face, that was not a relief, Li Qingzhu dared to guarantee that Professor McGonagall was just trying to fix him with bad taste!
Li Qingzhu tugged at the corners of her mouth, although she hated Professor McGonagall's behavior, but she had to be grateful to her, if she was unwilling to teach herself, then she might really have to teach here until the second or even third grade.
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall!"
Li Qingzhu said gratefully to Professor McGonagall, who instantly put away her smile and said in a solemn manner: "Don't be too happy, Professor Li, it's not that you can master Animagus perfectly if you pass this test, this is just the first step." ”
"Yes! I understand! ”
Li Qingzhu responded very seriously.
That's right, from the moment Professor McGonagall manipulated him just now, he knew that this must not be so easy, after all, it is the most difficult transfiguration technique to master, and no test can decide everything.
"So, come with me, the next process needs to be carried out in a special laboratory, and I have a special underground laboratory."
Professor McGonagall waved at Li Qingzhu and motioned for him to follow. (To be continued......)
