Chapter 12: Animagus VS Silent

In the library, he found the Animagus book, and Maple read the introduction and cultivation methods of the Animagus several times. I have to say that Maple underestimated the difficulty of this transfiguration technique before.

However, after learning more about the Animagus Transfiguration, Maple was even more convinced that there was a good chance that the Animagus would help him solve the problem of Silence, rather than passively waiting for the moment of Silence's transformation.

Maple only had more than half a year left now, and with his own ability, he would definitely not be able to master Animagus in such a short time, and he had to seek the help of Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore.

"What is the difference between the Animagus Transfiguration and the ordinary Transfiguration, for example, a wizard who uses the Animagus to turn into an animal, and this wizard who is transformed into an animal by casting a Transfiguration Charm, is it the same as turning into an animal?" Maple approached Professor McGonagall and asked.

"Of course it's different, Maple. Ordinary Transfiguration only changes the appearance of the wizard, but the transformation of the Animagus can change the inner part of the wizard. For example, if you are turned into a cat, you can't speak, you can only run like a cat, but you still feel like a person in your heart. And when you turn into a cat with Animagus, you will feel like you have become a cat in your mind when you are in the form of a cat! Professor McGonagall told Maple about her transformation into Animagus, which immediately reminded Maple of Sirius.

Dementors have no eyes, but they can sense human emotions, their happy hopes are their guiding light, and their souls are their most desired food. This is equivalent to the animal's sense of smell, except that the animal smells the smell, and the dementor smells the human feelings. And after Sirius turned into a dog through the Animagus Transfiguration, the Dementors couldn't smell him, which shows that the Animagus not only changed the form of a human being, but also changed the spirit and soul within.

"After the transformation of the Animagus, he has no other magical power except that he can transform back into himself at any time. After being turned into an animal by magic, the wizard cannot use magic either, so in these two transformations, is the state of the wizard's magic the same? Maple asked another question that was of most concern to him.

"It's different, kid. After the transformation of Animagus, the wizard's magic power did change, but I can't give you a definite answer to what kind of change. As for the ordinary transformation charm, the magic power of the wizard did not change in any way after the transformation, but was sealed by the transformation charm applied to him. Professor McGonagall replied.

"That means that as long as the wizard's magic is strong enough, he can break free from the transformation spell by himself after being transformed, right?" Maple said.

"Yes, Maple. It's just that it requires a very high level of magic and very strong magical power, and most wizards can only release magic with the help of a wand, and very few wizards can cast a complete spell without a wand. Professor McGonagall said that she couldn't do it herself without a wand, and that Dumbledore was probably the only one she knew.

"Thank you for your doubts, Professor." Maple said, and then said the biggest purpose of coming today: "Professor, can you teach me the Animagus Transfiguration?" ”

"What, you're going to learn Animagus?" Professor McGonagall's mouth opened wide in surprise, opening open enough to fit an egg, "Why did you suddenly have that thought, Maple?" ”

"Because I think the Animagus Transfiguration might be able to help me solve the problem of Silence, and your answer just now made me even more convinced of that." Maple said.

"It's a crazy idea to use Animagus against Silent Ran, oh my God!" However, after Professor McGonagall calmed down and thought about it, she also felt that Maple's idea was not entirely fanciful.

"Didn't you say that when Animagus transforms, the state of his magic also changes? Although Silent Ran is uncontrollable, it is also a part of my magic, and I think when Animagus transforms, it can't stop its own change! Maple said again.

"I can't guarantee that, I think we'll need to ask Professor Dumbledore." Ask Professor Dumbledore if he has anything, he knows everything, it's very Professor McGonagall's style.

"Zizi Bee Candy!" Professor McGonagall led Maple outside the Headmaster's room and spoke to the ugly stone monster.

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, and Maple, is there anything you guys are doing here?" Professor McGonagall led Maple into the Headmaster's chambers through the passage of the spiral staircase opened by the stone monster, and Dumbledore asked with interest when he saw them.

Professor McGonagall immediately recounted Maple's desire to learn from Animagus against Murmur.

"No one has ever tried it, but I have to say, brilliant idea, with a great chance of success. Son, I am once again impressed by your excellence! Dumbledore approving.

"The idea of a genius, it's hard to imagine that he is only nine years old, he is simply born to belong to Ravenclaw!"

"He's a disciple taught by Snape himself, and has a deeper connection with Slytherin, boy, come to Slytherin, where you can get everything you could only dream of." Phineas Black also interjected.

"Alright, there's not much time left for Maple, Professor McGonagall, please do your best to assist Maple in completing the Animagus."

"Do the best I can!" Professor McGonagall agreed, and left with Maple, and the portrait of Dumbledore's office began to make noise again, and they both tried to pull Maple to their house.

After leaving, Maple dived his mind into the sea of knowledge on the way, checking the system that had just jingled once.

Ding, your excellence shocked the professors for you, and gave full play to the characteristics of a scholar - extremely smart, and obtained 1 point of academic mastership.

It's really hard, even the genius idea that surprised Dumbledore only gets a little Xueba value, it seems that this system is set to only get one point of Xueba value at a time, and no matter how many people around you are shocked by you, there is only one point of Xueba value.

Upon his return, Professor McGonagall did not let Maple learn the Animagus immediately. Maple's current level of Transfiguration is only at the intermediate level, and he must take the time to master the advanced Transfiguration first.

Advanced Transfiguration, which is even more difficult than Maple imagined. The primary Transfiguration Technique, Maple passed it once, the Intermediate Transfiguration Technique took more than a month, and the Advanced Transfiguration Technique, which took him four months, did not dare to say that he had completely mastered it.

Of course, if Professor McGonagall hadn't had as many classes and preparing for the year-end exams, Maple would have progressed faster.

Time was of the essence, and Professor McGonagall did not require Maple to understand and understand thoroughly. With the help of a wizard who has successfully completed the Animagus, Maple is able to lower his requirements without enough time. It doesn't take Maple's perfect mastery of advanced transfiguration, but as long as he can successfully perform one or two advanced transfigurations and meet the most basic requirements.

Of course, this also meant that Professor McGonagall had to do more when the Maple Animagus was transformed. And for safety, Maple had to choose a small animal to reduce the danger. Like James Potter and Sirius Black, a stag, a big dog, and poor Peter Pettigrew turned into nothing more than a mouse.

However, Maple is more than Peter Pettigrew, because Professor McGonagall can help more than James Potter and Sirius combined when he was a student, Professor McGonagall has been completing Animagus for decades, and James Potter and Sirius next to Peter Pettigrew, who have just completed the transformation of Animagus.

And if Dumbledore is added, Maple instantly increases the chance of winning a hundredfold. Speaking of which, Dumbledore was also Professor McGonagall and even Voldemort's Transfiguration teacher.

Of course, it doesn't mean that with a luxurious lineup like Dumbledore and McGonagall, Maple is foolproof, and the physical transformation Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall can also help, but the challenge from the will, Maple can only complete it independently.

Although the object of the Animagus's transformation is related to his own personality, perhaps Sirius did have a big dog side in his personality at first, but it is clear that the frequent Animagus transformations later undoubtedly magnified the reckless and irascible side of his personality.

Changing from a human soul to an animal-like soul is not an easy task. And there is also the extreme physical pain that accompanies the transformation process, and Maple must make sure that he has a strong will!

"Nightmares are coming!" Snape happily took on the task of exercising Maple's will, casting a terrifying mental spell on Maple.

Hold on to your mind and don't let the fear and despair in your heart knock you down!

The training of magic, the practice of transfiguration, the preparatory practice of Animagus, the tempering of the spirit, and just like that, until August, Maple was finally going to start the transformation of the Animagus.

After reaching a bottleneck, the further back you go, the smaller the progress of Maple. On the other hand, the closer you get to the ten-year-old threshold, the more dangerous Maple's obscurity becomes.

So considering the threat of Silent Ran, with half a year to go before his tenth birthday, Maple began to prepare for the Animagus transformation.

First choosing the time of a full moon, Maple has a single leaf of a mandrake in his mouth and cannot take it out until the next full moon. And you can't swallow it or take it out of your mouth at any time in between.

After the first step is completed, the leaves are removed at the full moon, filled with saliva in a crystal vial, and the leaves are soaked in it to receive pure moonshine. Add a hair of your hair and a silver teaspoon of dew to the moonlit crystal vial, which must be collected from a place where there has been no sunlight or human contact for seven days. Finally add a chrysalis with a grimace moth. Keep this mixture in a quiet, dark place and don't look at it or disturb it until the next thunderstorm hits.

Before the storm, every day at sunrise and sunset, point your wand to your heart and recite incantations in your mouth —

"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

When a second heartbeat was felt after the wand touched her chest, Maple immediately approached Professor McGonagall and told her.

"It's raining! Thunder and lightning! "Maple didn't wait for the storm to come, because Dumbledore cast a spell that directly changed the weather.

This kind of magic does not really create lightning, but rather a method similar to artificial rainfall, using magic to affect charged clouds in the air and clouds carrying large amounts of water vapor, which is the cause and effect of interfering with natural forces, rather than creating natural forces.

At the moment when the lightning pierced the sky, take out the crystal vial that had been buried earlier. Seeing the bright blood-red color of the potion in the crystal vial, Maple immediately relieved.

This potion is not necessary, but it can increase the chances of Animagus' success. With the help of Potions Master Snape, the bottle reached the highest level.

Accompanied by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape, Maple pointed his wand to his heart, recited the spell of Animagus, and drank the potion.

The other heartbeat in the heart was beating violently, but the original heartbeat of its own gradually slowed down. A burning and tearing sensation spread throughout his body, and his limbs contracted inward and became smaller.

The deformation was magical, but it didn't feel good, the whole body seemed to be melted, and the hot burning sensation filled every part of the skin.

Suddenly, Maple felt another force burst into her body.

"It seems to feel the danger and then chooses to erupt!"

Under the silent action, the pain in Maple's body instantly increased several times. On the one hand, the metamorphosis continues, a part of the body continues to metamorphose, and on the other hand, a place infested by the silent magic. The silent magic tried to stop the change, and this part of the body began to grow again.

For a moment, Maple's body was a mess, part dented, part inflated, and twisted into a hideous monster.

Professor McGonagall pointed to Maple's heart and chanted the Animagus incantation, allowing the transformation to continue. Under Professor McGonagall's powerful spell, some of the swelling areas began to morph towards the Animagus again. Silently divided more magic power to compete with it, and silently used Maple's body as a battlefield to start a tug-of-war, you come and go.

"Divine Guard!" The endless pain caused the explosion and tearing pain of Maple's body, and under the influence of silence, Maple's soul, which was already undergoing a dangerous transformation from a human soul to an animal soul, became even more unstable. Learning the Patronus Charm, Maple learns that the Patronus is not only a product of his own happy hopes, but also a spread of his own positive will.

The patron saint is both the spread of the will and the guardian of his own spirit. Maple was right, and after the Patronus appeared, this strange black bat Patronus faintly spread an invisible fluctuation that reached Maple's soul.

"I'm not going to lose! Definitely not! ”

Although the power of Silent Ran is strong, but it is only a distortion of the will, it is weak in the soul, and under the spiritual protection of the guardian god, the confrontation of magic in the body can no longer affect Maple's soul. Although the condition in his body was very bad and chaotic, Maple's soul was methodically transforming towards the Animagus.

"Spiritual shackles!" Dumbledore struck, and a spiritual restraint struck on top of the silently half-reduced compression magic. Mo Ran immediately seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and the mana it exported was directly reduced by half, and its resistance was greatly slowed down when the Animagus deformed and withdrew its mana.

"Amado, Animo, Animadol, Animagus!" When Dumbledore joined the battlefield, he quickly collapsed.

After the silent power was suppressed by one side to the ground, Maple's Animagus transformation began to proceed smoothly again. The closer the Animagus got to completion, the less magic there was in Maple's body, and soon, Maple's Patronus disappeared due to the severance of his magic. But after the silence of the body was suppressed, the pain of the body was reduced, and there was no longer a need for the protection of the guardian spirit, and Maple could endure the mental pain.

Finally, a formed Animagus collapsed to the ground, and it turned out to be a bat like his Patronus, perhaps because the Patronus guarded his spirit at a critical moment! It's just that this bat is not the same as the patronus of Maple, it is no longer the ominous color of the night, but a noble and mysterious purple.

Because of the arduous process of transformation and the terrible pain, Maple is now very mentally exhausted, and it is estimated that it will take several days to recover.

And just after the successful transformation, after gaining a deeper understanding of the Animagus, Maple had a deeper conjecture about the Animagus. Let's use the chakra theory to explain, this is easier to understand.

The nature of chakra should be similar, both are a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, but the proportion of doping with each other is different. Although in the magic of the mixture of two energies, they are inseparable from each other, but they are two energies of different natures after all. Under the influence of Animagus's Transfiguration, the two have undergone different changes. The spirit changes from the human spirit to the animal spirit, and the spiritual energy changes with it, but the physical energy cannot instantly become the physical energy in harmony with the new spiritual energy.

So the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns, the spiritual power in the magic returns to the soul, and the body energy returns to the body. Without the combination of the two, Animagus is unable to perform magic in his state, and checking whether an animal is an Animagus will not reveal anything if he examines his body, but examining his brain can reveal an abnormality at once.

Silently, only the negative emotions of the wizard's depression or fear, there is no real soul, which is why it is so afraid of the Animagus. Because Mooran itself is an imbalance in which the physical strength far exceeds the spiritual power, after the separation of physical strength and spiritual power, it is difficult for the thin spirit of Mooran to gather enough strength to become Mooran again.

And Mo Ran's huge physical strength, if there is no spiritual command, it is a missile without navigation, and it does not know where to go, and it is free in the body.

The Animagus is equivalent to disassembling and reassembling the highly compressed and degenerated silent distorted magic, and after this thorough transformation, the silence naturally disappears.
