Chapter 136: Norin's Flying Conjecture
Professor McGonagall stopped what she was doing, looked at Nolin, and finally said with a little meaning:
"Norlin, your idea is dangerous."
She sat back down in the soft chair, motioned for Norlin to sit down as well, and spoke:
"When it comes to transfiguration, some wizards have gone further than the average person, and all the great changes you can think of have been tried by all kinds of wizards. However, some wizards succeeded, and many more failed miserably in their quest for knowledge. ”
"The reason for the failure is without exception, it is all due to a lack of prudence."
Professor McGonagall's tone was so serious that Norlin almost wanted to give up, but she changed her tone and said:
"Now, you can be specific about what you think."
Norlin pondered for a moment and said, "That's right, since the Animagus deformed animals will retain some of the characteristics of humans, can humans also retain some of the characteristics of animals without being deformed?" ”
"It's like...... Half Animagus. ”
Professor McGonagall quickly understood what he meant, and with a slightly solemn expression, she said:
"This idea has been proposed before, and there have even been successful cases. However, the characteristics of most animals are not beneficial to humans, and even if they do, they are criticized for their strange appearance. What features do you want to keep? ”
Norin hesitated for a moment and said:
"Wings. I feel like it doesn't affect the appearance and can bring a lot of benefits. ”
He was too hungry for the wings of his Animagus shaped. Modern wizards don't have the spell to fly, and the only way to soar through the sky is to rely on broomsticks.
Norin was curious to know what it was like for him to fly through the skies in human form.
"Very creative idea."
Professor McGonagall groaned, her eyes lit up, and she said, "You can try, but you have to try it in front of me." This transformation is extremely dangerous, and I don't want to see you turn into a deformed and irrational golden eagle in the future. ”
"That'...... Right here? ”
Norlin jumped for the shot. With Professor McGonagall on her side, the risk is greatly reduced. After all, Professor McGonagall has been a master of Transfiguration for many years, and she must be experienced.
"I suggest you first master the transformation of the Animagus thoroughly and then try it when you are able to transform it as you like."
Professor McGonagall shook her head and admonished, "This is an indispensable first step if you want to succeed." ”
Norin thought for a moment, and quickly reacted that he was a little anxious for quick success. He nodded earnestly, took out his wand and pointed it at his heart, and whispered:
"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."
The painful feeling of burning all over my body came again, but this time the pain seemed to be milder than the first time I was transformed.
A short time later, a heroic golden eagle staggered into the Transfiguration classroom.
The golden eagle walked around the classroom with flirtatious and clumsy steps, and from time to time its center of gravity fell unsteadily to the side. Professor McGonagall watched silently, not speaking.
When Norin was sweating profusely and became a human again, she smiled and said:
"If you can't walk steadily, you want to be a different kind of advanced deformation?"
"It's me who is a little too ambitious, classroom."
Norin said abruptly. He decided to go back and practice the Animagus diligently, and after practicing the transformation process well, he would talk about other things.
"It's good that you understand. Actually, I'm glad you can talk to me about your ideas, otherwise if you practice on your own in private, you will be in trouble if something happens. ”
Norlin glanced at her with some surprise, not expecting the normally strict Professor McGonagall to say such a thing. However, he also quickly reacted, and Professor McGonagall genuinely regarded him as a junior, and said with a little emotion:
"Okay, classroom. Then I'll go back. ”
When he returned to the dormitory, Smith was not in the house, and he should have gone to Gryffindor to play with the twins again. In Nolin's absence, he became a supernumerary member of the mischievous trio, along with the twins and Lee Jordan.
In the Gryffindor common room, in a remote corner, Harry and Ron Hermione were discussing quietly and excitedly.
"No wonder Voldemort wanted to hunt the unicorn, it turned out that he was seriously injured by Nolin......"
After Harry learned from Ron and Hermione that Professor Quirrell was behind someone else, his greatest enemy, Harry became a detective, analyzing Voldemort's actions and purposes every day.
"Harry, can you please stop calling that person by name......
Ron whispered, as if he was worried that Voldemort would hear.
"What did Voldemort do when he infiltrated the school through Quirrell...... Harry didn't listen to him, muttering to himself, "He must be looking for something......
He and Hermione glanced at each other and said in unison, "The forbidden area corridor on the fourth floor!" ”
"There's Hagrid's Lowe guarding it, and there's definitely something extraordinary in it...... What Voldemort desperately needs......"
"Remember, Harry!" Hermione looked at him with blazing eyes and said excitedly, "Hagrid once slipped out of a conversation with us and mentioned a guy named Nick Lemay. ”
"yes, but we can't find that person's information, can't we?"
Harry asked with a wink, confused.
Hermione leaned her little head over and whispered:
"I've heard from Eddie Warren of Slytherin that Nick Lemay is the greatest alchemist of all time!"
Hermione said as she pulled out a brick-thick book, "The most incredible thing is that he's been over six hundred years old, and he's still alive!" ”
She opened the book, pointed to one of the passages and read:
"Ancient alchemy involves the cultivation of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing functions. The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life that will make those who drink it immortal.
Over the centuries, there have been many reports about the Philosopher's Stone, but the only remaining Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Nick Lemay. He celebrated his 665th birthday last year and now lives in seclusion in Devon with his wife, Perenal. ”
"Got it?"
Hermione paused for a moment, then continued, "That big dog must be guarding Lemay's Philosopher's Stone!" I'm sure LeMay asked Dumbledore to keep it for him, because they were friends. ”
"No wonder Voldemort wanted to fight its idea...... The Philosopher's Stone can bring him back to life! ”
Harry shook his fist and said angrily.
"No wonder we can't find Lemay in Studies on the Development of Modern Witchcraft."
Ron said, "Since it's more than six hundred years old, it can't be considered modern." ”
