129: Animagus (I)

Harry looked up, but Dumbledore's gaze made him sit on pins and needles, and the twelve-year-old could read the emotions in his gaze.

Yes, it would be nice to send an owl to deliver a letter, why didn't you react at the time?

Harry was extremely annoyed, and Dumbledore sighed softly, which made Harry's face even more burning and embarrassed.

Dumbledore didn't say anything more, but ordered the kitchen elves to bring some sandwiches for Harry's dinner, and then called Professor McGonagall to send them back to Gryffindor Tower.

"Two gentlemen," Professor McGonagall looked angry, "I beg you to use your brains more when you are in trouble, and you think you are acting bravely?" In my opinion, it is reckless, it will not solve any problems, it will only make others laugh. ”

Harry and Ron kept their heads down and said nothing, one thinking about how to explain to his parents, and the other worried about Professor Dumbledore's attitude towards him.

Professor McGonagall led them back to the common room and turned to leave, Hermione and the Weasley siblings were sitting in the room, and they were relieved to see Harry and Ron, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Oh my God, what's going on with you?" Hermione covered her mouth and looked at the blood on the two Harry.

"Hmm......" Harry didn't know what to say.

"We met a big tiger in the Forbidden Forest," Ron explained, "and it could swallow me and Harry's bodies with one mouth!" The two of us struggled with it for a long time before we managed to get out. ”

Actually, no,

"That's right, and then we met Professor Dumbledore on the way." Harry wasn't embarrassed to expose his buddy's lies, in fact he knew that the tiger was supposed to be full, and he didn't kill at all.

"I still have some ointment in my dormitory, you can apply it to tomorrow morning." George and Fred hurried to the dormitory.

"I really didn't expect you to steal Daddy's car and fly over!" Ginny was furious, "And Harry!" ”

"What do you mean to catch Harry!" Ron was puzzled, "He especially agrees with my plan!" ”

Harry suddenly regretted that he had lied to Ron earlier.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Joel got out of bed, ran to the balcony and pointed to his heart to recite the Animagus mantra, and then went to the bathroom to pick up the image, since he had a girlfriend, he bought a lot of skin care and hair care products, at least he couldn't live up to his face.

It was a quarter past seven in the morning, and Joel woke up his three roommates as he stuffed his Transfiguration textbook into his school bag.

He arrived in the auditorium with three sleepy-eyed friends, and Haylis had already sat down, looking at the book as she sipped the juice into her mouth, seemingly without stopping.

"I mean, there's really no need to be so nervous, right?" Joel took two slices of toast from his plate and spread the jam on top.

Helis shook her head, her eyes were full of tiredness, thinking that she had stayed up too late in the past two days.

"I've got to finish reading these books, and at the same time I can't delay my studies, I managed to get the first place in my grade last year, and I don't want to lose that position," the girl muttered, "besides...... I also have to find time to fall in love with my little boyfriend, or he'll get angry. ”

Joel: "......"

"Otherwise, the two of us will have a date at the library in the future," he suggested a compromise, "and I want to learn more while I have been in school for a while." ”

"We still have a long way to go, and there will be time for love in the future, isn't it?" With that, Joel stuffed his mouth with a mouthful of toast and poured milk into his stomach by the way.

Haylis's eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled, "Okay, then it's decided." ”

"......" Eddie, who was sitting next to him, was not sleepy, he rubbed the goosebumps on his forearms, "You two are really greasy." ”

Joel glanced at Eddie, then at Cho, who was sitting next to Haylis and was turning his head to chat with Cedric at the Hufflepuff table, and shook his head in hatred.

"You deserve to be single."

Haylis had mentioned to him that Autumn was a little interesting to Eddie at the end of the last semester, chattering in the dormitory every day, and giving some candy and snacks if he was fine, but Eddie was like no one else, and he only didn't respond to his wishes, which made Autumn a little disheartened.

While it was time for breakfast, Professor Flitwick walked past the long table and handed the elective class schedules to the students.

"It's best to choose three," he said with a pleasant face, "Time is not tight, you can just practice it, if you want to choose all of them, I don't have any opinion, as long as you don't fail the course." ”

Muggle Studies, Ancient Magic, and Arithmetic and Divination, these three courses were discussed by Joel and Haylis in advance, and the two checked them and ticked the class schedule, and then signed their names below.

Submitting his own timetable, Joel looked boredly at the ceiling, which was cloudy gray, he had been waiting for a thunderstorm all summer, and he could feel a second heartbeat in his chest when he had recently cast a spell at sunrise and sunset, sometimes stronger than the original heartbeat, sometimes weaker, a key point in the Animagus practice.

A flock of owls routinely flew into the auditorium through low altitudes and dropped letters into the hands of their targets.

Joel removes the newspaper from the owl's talons and places a copper nut into the cloth bag that the owl's talons are tied to.

No sooner had he seen the headline on the front page than there was a burst of screams from the Gryffindor table behind him.

"What's wrong?" Helis still didn't look up.

Joel glanced back, "The Weasleys sent a yelling letter to Ron. ”

"Why?" Haylis, of course, knew what a howling letter was, and she was very curious about why it was sent.

"Hmm......" Joel thought that Helis, who had been immersed in books, didn't know what happened yesterday, so he gave a brief introduction.

Haylis looked back, Ron's face was shaking, and under the persuasion of the classmates around him, if the yelling letter was not opened in time, it would make a louder noise.

He carefully opened the envelope, and the Great Hall filled the auditorium with Mrs. Weasley's angry voice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Actually stole your father's car, that's a hundred Galleons of value! I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts were to fire you, and I'll see how I'll clean you up when you come back at Christmas! ”

"It was also in the newspaper...... Your father is already under scrutiny! If you take Harry with you at Hogwarts again, I'll take you home right away!" ”

Mrs. Weasley's angry voice finally faded, and the roaring letter, as red as Ron's, swirled in the air and turned into ashes and fell into his plate.

The four tables were back to their previous noise, and Malfoy was laughing back and forth at the Slytherin table, almost falling under the table.

"It's miserable," Helis said as she picked up her cup and drank the juice, "I'll go to the Transfiguration class first, you eat slowly." ”

She stuffed the thick book directly into her bag, then picked it up and went upstairs.

Entering the third year, the Transfiguration course also entered a new realm, Animagus.

"I'm not going to give you how to practice this inscrutable transfiguration magic," Professor McGonagall stood on the table, her wand tapping lightly on the blackboard, and a panel of books appeared on it, "I'm just going to teach you how to distinguish an Animagus from other Transfigurationsβ€”gentlemen and ladies, that's what the fifth and seventh year wizarding exams require of an Animagus." ”

"Very few people can successfully learn Animagus, there are seven Animagus recorded by the British Ministry of Magic this century - I am one of them," the students in the audience let out a cohesive exclamation, Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, "If you want to learn this excellent Transfiguration one day in the future, please be sure to register with the Ministry of Magic in advance, this Transfiguration is very dangerous, and a careless accident may cause irreversible damage, and the Ministry of Magic will inform you of certain precautions and protective measures, which can save you a lot of detours." ”

"At the same time, the Ministry of Magic has classified unregistered Animagus as illegal offenders, with a hefty fine if found."

Professor McGonagall said.

Joel knew several illegal Animagus, James, Sirius, and Pettigrew, none of them were registered with the Ministry of Magic, for fear of revealing their identities, after all, practicing Animagus was to better conceal themselves, and wouldn't registering with the Ministry of Magic expose their Animagus form to the eyes of others?

"Professor, can you show us that?" Cho raised his hand, the Ravenclaws were always curious about the unknown.

The students in the audience began to heckle, but Professor McGonagall was still very talkative, as long as you didn't violate the school rules and discipline.

Professor McGonagall's pursed lips loosened slightly, and she shrank to the ground into a tabby, about forty centimeters long, with lines around her eyes that resembled the square glasses she was wearing.

"Wow......" The students in the audience were very cooperative.

Many girls saw the love in the eyes of this cute tabby cat, even Haylis, and a Hufflepuff girl almost got her hands on it, but Professor McGonagall reacted quickly and immediately changed back into human form.

"Miss Curtis, watch your demeanor." Professor McGonagall warned.

In the following lesson, Professor McGonagall elaborated on the difference between Animagus and animal transformation - both can transform into animal form, but the former still retains magic and can be used for simple spells, provided that you have to learn silent casting, which animal transformation does not have, and at the same time, Animagus transformation will also retain human consciousness, while animal transformation really fantasizes about itself as a beast.

However, Animagus also has drawbacks, for a wizard, there can only be one Animagus form for the rest of his life, which is not conducive to secondary concealment after being discovered.

Although Joel has learned the Animagus in the system panel at an advanced level, it is ultimately lacking, and Professor McGonagall is an experienced Animagus user, so it is necessary to ask her some questions.

As Haylis and Joel walked down the long hallway to the library, Helis stepped on the pair of black mid-heeled leather shoes that Joel had given her, the sun shining through the heavy dark clouds on the ground, shining through the window on Helis's gentle face.

"Bernie is going to be on the Slytherin Quidditch team next weekend, I'm going to cheer him on, do you want to come along?"

"Of course," Joel agreed, "I could just eavesdrop on some Slytherin intel and give it back to Roger." ”

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

"you." Haylis bumped Joel on the shoulder, with little force, which in Joel's opinion was more of a way to express intimacy.

"Anyway, we can go to Hogsmeade starting this year," Joel took Haylis's hand to move on to the next topic, "Did your parents sign the permission form for you?" ”

Haylis scoffed, "How is that possible? ”

"If I come home at Christmas, I might be able to catch up," Haylis shrugged, "but until then, the two of them weren't going to give me the slightest breathing room." ”

"Wasn't Bernie the heir last year?" Joel and Haylis arrive outside the library, "Why hasn't he been so busy?" ”

Helis snorted and replied: "He was only in the first year last year, and no matter how excessive his parents were, it was impossible for him to be stressful in his first year at Hogwarts, not to mention, Bernie was good at being lazy, and the homework assigned by his parents was basically fooled." ”

Dark clouds obscured the sun again, and there was a faint flash of thunder in the sky.

Joel turned his head to look at the sky, expectant.

"It's going to rain?" Haylis gripped the railing of the hallway.

"Hmm." Joel answered her in a breathless voice.

The light rain fell on Hogwarts Castle at midday, and Joel hurried back from the Great Hall after lunch, sitting at his dorm desk staring out the window.

The rain was still too light.

There are many rainy days in the UK throughout the year, and the light rain can stop for half a day, and then stop for a moment to continue spitting on the earth.

It was a bit stuffy in the room, so Joel simply opened the window and let the drizzle outside hit the desk through the window.

One afternoon, he finished writing the paper that Professor McGonagall had assigned for the day, and went over the history of magic.

Neither of these works Joel did very well, and he knew that there was a problem with the argument in the Transfiguration paper, but he didn't plan to revise it now, and he was a little impetuous.

Cool raindrops fell on his palms, dispelling all the dryness in his heart.

Maybe it's just another disappointing afternoon.

It's no surprise that Joel has been through three or four times this summer, and according to the Animagus knowledge in his head, many people spend years waiting for a decent thunderstorm - just to gain more power when transformed.

"Joel, what are you doing?" Eddie, who had been discussing Quidditch tactics on his first day of school, rushed back from the common room and saw his roommate holding out a hand to catch the raindrops falling from the window, "Close the window, it's a bit noisy outside." ”

"Noisy?" Joel was unconscious.

It's just that the number of raindrops falling on the palm of your hand has increased sharply, and several lightning bolts flashed in the dark clouds, and the click was like a thunderclap on the earth.

This thunderstorm has begun.
