Chapter 171: It's done
Listening to Xiwen's explanation, even a well-informed old man like Lemay couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's not universal enough, otherwise it might be able to be promoted." Lemay said. "After all, not everyone has a portal spell that can pick up mandrake leaves on a clear night, and immediately go to another location and bury it in a rare location of a perennial thunderstorm."
"Actually, there is room for maneuver." Newt said with interest. "If you can find a thunderbird, or if there is a wizard who can use a powerful weather spell to induce a storm, then the second step of the Animagus transformation is not a matter of luck."
"But it's also not universal." Lemay shook his head and said with some regret. "Newt, not everyone is able to make friends with the Thunderbird like you do; And not everyone has the ability to change the weather on a large scale. ”
"Yes, I can only say that I am too lucky to have conditions that others can't dream of." Xiwen sighed deeply. "If I don't learn Animagus again, I won't have the face to see anyone!"
"Don't think about it so much, just do your best." Lemay chuckled. "Animagus isn't as simple as you think!"
Hearing Lemay's words, Xiwen suddenly thought of a question, and asked with some curiosity: "Lemay, Scamander, have you ever learned the transformation of Animagus?" ”
"I didn't learn the Animagus Transfiguration." Newt shook his head and smiled wistfully. "When I was younger, I wanted to be an Animagus because I thought I would be able to make friends with the animals so easily."
"But wouldn't it be easy for you to make friends with animals?" Xiwen couldn't help but ask.
"Now the animals are willing to make friends with me, probably because I have learned a set of experiences to gain their trust." Newt explained softly. "But I didn't have that much experience when I was a kid, and I just wanted to get their friendship by tricks."
"But my talent for Transfiguration has not been very good, and it doesn't meet the standard of learning Animagus Transfiguration. I've been sad about this for a long time! ”
"In fact, it seems to me that Newt has always won the trust of animals because of his kindness from the heart." Lemay suddenly laughed and spoke. "Animals have their own way of judging a wizard's character, and Newt is undoubtedly the most relatable of all wizards."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Newt smiled a little coyly and continued. "But then I realized that animals don't always get along with each other, and instead of becoming an unfamiliar animal and befriending them, it's better to face their sincerity in my original form."
Shivin nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself about what other meaning the Animagus transformation could have.
And Newt, after finishing speaking, set his sights on Lemay.
"In these six hundred years, I wonder if Lemay has ever learned the transformation of Animagus?" He asked curiously.

"It's a secret, I can't tell you!" Lemay smiled inscrutablely.
However, another old man's voice appeared on the rooftop, interrupting Lemay, who was selling Guan.
"Of course I did, but why didn't I learn?" Madame Lemay stepped on another flying carpet and came to Lemay's side, muttering in her mouth. "We've lived so long that we want to learn something interesting, and Animagus naturally includes that."
"Perenal's right." After being dismantled by his wife, Lemay no longer hung on the appetite of Shevin and Newt, and explained. "But as we get older, the condition of the bones is not enough to support us to transform into animals, and now we have almost forgotten how to transform them."
"So what ......are the Animagus forms of the two of you?" Xiwen couldn't help but ask.
"It's a secret!" Madame Lemay said with a smile, exactly the same as Lemay's previous behavior.
"Okay, don't ask so many questions about what you don't have, hurry up and make your pre-preparations first!" Lemay chuckled and said to Xiwen.
Xiwen knew that he couldn't find out the Animagus form of the two old men. So he let go of his thoughts and unsealed the mandrake leaf on his palate.
The mandrake blades fluttered from the roof of his mouth onto Xiwen's tongue, and he took it out of his mouth.
In the past month, Xiwen has already become accustomed to the presence of mandrake leaves, and after removing the leaves, he feels that his mouth is empty, and his mouth is still a little dry, and he can't help but want to rinse his mouth.
However, the most important thing now is to prepare for the transformation of Animagus, and other things can only be endured first.
Xiwen took out a box of materials from the pocket watch space that the house-elf Millie had prepared for him a long time ago, which contained three transparent glass bottles, a glass of dew that had not been affected by people and sunlight, and a lot of ghost-faced moths.
"If I'm not mistaken, a small clear bottle, a silver teaspoon of dew, and a ghost-faced moth's pupae will suffice." Newt asked suspiciously, looking at the large box of materials that Shivin had taken out. "How did you prepare so many things?"
"You're not mistaken." Shevin smiled back at Newt. "Wasn't I prepared!"
As he spoke, Xiwen picked up the smaller clear glass bottle and placed it on the railing of the rooftop. It is fully illuminated by the moonlight.
He then placed the mandrake leaves soaked in his own saliva into the bottle, and added a silver teaspoon of dew and a ghost-faced moth's chrysalis to the bottle.
"There's no problem with my steps, right?" Shevin looked at Mr. and Mrs. Lemay and asked inquiringly.
"No problem. The second step of the Animagus Transformation Preparation is not operationally difficult, just a bit of luck. Lemay smiled and said to Xiwen. You'll be able to solve the hardest part with just one portal, and any wizard can do the rest. ”
Hearing Lemay's affirmation, Shivin nodded in satisfaction and handed the glass bottle to Newt.
"Yours will take care of the rest, Mr. Scamander!" He said to Newt in all seriousness. "In exchange, you can contact me anytime you need a portal in the future."
"Then it's decided!" Newt smiled knowingly, too, and slipped into his suitcase.
While Newt was in the middle of the glass bottle, Shevin pointed his wand to his mouth and whispered "Aguamenti."
After rinsing his mouth vigorously with the water-making charm, he was able to suppress the empty discomfort in his mouth a little.
"How does it feel?" Seeing Xiwen's movements, Madame Lemay asked with a chuckle. At the same time, she also asked the alchemy puppet to bring a glass of water.
"Actually, it's okay, but it's a little uncomfortable in the mouth." Xiwen said, and took the water glass in the alchemy puppet's hand and took a sip gently.
"Your little spell to stick a mandrake leaf in your mouth is quite interesting." Lemay said with interest. "Maybe it can be widespread."
At that moment, Newt also got out of the suitcase and gave a big smile to Xiwen.
"That's it!"
