Chapter 24: The Animagus (I)
"Dear Weston,
As your future wife, I would like to congratulate you on receiving the Order of Merlin, 2nd Class......"
Looking at the letter in his hand, the corners of Weston's mouth twitched, and he really couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. This little Lori has always recognized herself as her future husband!
But it's good, at least don't worry about future love! Weston thought bitterly.
As the old saying goes: "A letter from home is worth 10,000 dollars", receiving such a special "letter from home" makes Weston miss the small manor, miss the beautiful and gentle Mrs. Delacour, miss the funny and easy-going Mr. Delacour, and of course, little Lori......
You have to complete your conjecture as soon as possible! Weston thought to himself.
In the following period, Weston was immersed in the study and practice of Transfiguration, and even the Headmaster's Office was less, which made Professor McGonagall overjoyed, as if he saw the hope that Weston was poached by himself to Gryffindor, so he taught even harder.
The old and the young are willing to teach, the other is willing to learn, and the cooperation is quite tacit, and naturally, Weston's Transfiguration strength has soared.
By Christmas, McGonagall couldn't teach Weston at all, and Weston had grown to the point where he was really practicing Animagus!
After a discussion with Dumbledore, Weston decided to complete his transformation during the students' winter break!
"We're going to try to avoid any accidents, with all due respect, Weston, you're still too dangerous!" Dumbledore said so.
Weston certainly understood what Dumbledore meant, after all, he was still a silent person, and the magic he wanted to complete was still the transformation of the magical creature Animagus that had not been completed for thousands of years, and of course he wanted to avoid all accidents.
Choosing the time of the holiday to do it, on the one hand, can reduce the disturbance of students, and on the other hand, if Weston summons Mo Ran, it will not hurt the students, which can be said to be the best of both worlds!
Of course, such a long time could not be wasted, and Weston taught himself Occlumency. According to Snape, this would better protect his mind from the impact of silence and the transformation of the Animagus.
Obviously, as Weston's teacher, Snape was not idle during this time, at least before, he did not know Animagus so deeply.
Weston didn't refute Snape's kindness, put gratitude in the deepest part of his heart, and followed Snape to learn Occlumency without saying a word.
Originally, the best way to learn Occlumency was to constantly attack and defend with the Dementor, but out of concern for the privacy of this disciple, Snape took a different approach and used the Imperius Charm.
"I'm not interested in your past peeing my pants, and I'm afraid it will affect my appetite!" The big tsundere man said so.
I can't expect good words to come out of your mouth! Weston was a little speechless.
It was winter break, and after seeing the last student on the train, Weston took a deep breath - tomorrow is the day of life and death!
.......
After waking up early and having a beautiful breakfast, Weston, who should have been nervous, was surprisingly calm at this time!
This may be the so-called extreme of things must be reversed!
After breakfast, McGonagall, Flitwick, Snape, Dumbledore, and Weston all arrived on the roof of Hogwarts.
At this time, there were already people waiting for their arrival on the rooftop.
Weston looked at the familiar cheek and immediately remembered the old man's name—Newt Scamander.
"Long time no see, Newt!" Dumbledore smiled and hugged Newman.
"Ah, yes, Albus! You still look so tough! I really envy you! "Old man Newt looks very cheerful.
"You know, kids always make me feel young growing up!" Dumbledore smiled.
"I think our small talk can be put to the back, two gentlemen!" Snape said impatiently.
"That's right!" Dumbledore patted his head, glanced apologetically at a few people, and said to Old Man Newt seriously, "Newt, did you bring it?" ”
"Of course, of course!" Old man Newt nodded and opened the box he was carrying, "Mike is a nice young man!" I think you're going to love him! ”
As he spoke, Newt beckoned to the inside of the box, and a large, distinctive-looking bird flew out.
It has a pheasant-like appearance, a blood-red flesh crown, a purple mouth, a three-pronged tail, and a slight electric spark when the wings are stirred......
America's endemic 5X-level magical beast - Thunderbird! Weston recognized the little guy at a glance, and understood why Dumbledore had called Scamander over.
"Looks good!" Dumbledore looked at the phoenix's close relatives and nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course! This is Frank's descendant! Scamander said proudly.
"Then let's get started!" Dumbledore spoke.
The men nodded to each other, then dispersed, surrounding Weston in the middle.
"Newt!" Dumbledore shouted.
"Understood!" Newt responded, then raised his arm and let out a sharp whistle from his mouth. "Uh-hh
"Weston!" Dumbledore shouted, "Come on, little one! ”
Weston nodded, took a few deep breaths, pointed his wand to his heart, and muttered the incantation of Animagus: "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus!" ”
"Patronus!" Dumbledore gave a hint and then took the lead in casting his own Patronus.
"Divine Guard!" "Divine Guard!" ......
Several others summoned their patronus spirits and placed them in front of them.
"Fawkes!" Dumbledore called out again.
With a flash of fire, Phoenix Fawkes appeared above the heads of several people and began to sing a song of courage unique to Phoenix.
All the things that need to be done are done, and the rest is up to Weston! Dumbledore was a little expectant and a little worried, his blue eyes staring at Weston through his glasses—his transformation had already begun!
Weston felt very uncomfortable at this point, with sharp pain and tingling all over his body, and the taste wished he could tear himself apart......
This is the first step of magic assimilating the whole body, and it is also the first step of the magical creature Animagus.
In Weston's conjecture, the magical creature Animagus should be divided into three steps, magic assimilation, magic transformation, transformation and consciousness impact, all survived, in order to truly complete the magic Animagus.
This first step took 10 minutes! It is equivalent to Weston being tortured for ten minutes!
It is said that in ancient times there was a punishment called mercury peeling, and Weston felt that the taste was exactly the same as mercury peeling! The word pain is no longer enough to describe it!
Ten minutes later, the second step of mana transformation began!
"Shhh
If the first step is peeling, the second step is Ling Chi!
Pain! This pain is simply deep into the bone marrow, as if thousands of knives are constantly scraping, and it seems to have pulled out the bones from the body, stuffed them back, and then pulled out the flesh tendons......
The time for the transformation of magic power was not long, only five minutes, but in Weston's perception, it seemed as if five centuries had not been so long!
Only fifteen minutes passed, and Weston's robe was soaked with sweat, but he didn't have any time to breathe, and the third step came directly!
The pain in his body came again, and at the same time two consciousnesses violently pounded into his mind, one full of darkness and murderous desire for destruction, and the other was completely lazy, a strange consciousness mixed with darkness and light......
Hold the spiritual platform and master your heart! According to this, Weston tightly guarded the clarity of the spiritual platform, and his attention was completely focused here, but the severe pain in his body was not mentally treated......
After a while, Weston felt the impact of these two consciousnesses slowly weaken, and finally faded away, and just as he wanted to relax, the magic suddenly accelerated uncontrollably and rushed towards his mind.
Suffer! Weston was shocked and tried his best to control the mana, but only reduced his speed a little, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the whole.
Die and die! Weston thought helplessly, and simply gave up resistance, allowing the magic to rush into his mind, and for a while, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and finally turned into a thick unwillingness.....
One minute, two minutes......
Well? Why doesn't it feel anything? Weston thought strangely.
He subconsciously opened his eyes, and five pairs of eyes full of curiosity appeared in his sight......
