Chapter 23: Cats! Cats! Cat Cat Superman!
The boring and complicated basics of Transfiguration should have been painful for young wizards, but with Professor McGonagall's 'Cat Cake', the boring content became enough to be endured.
In the course of more than an hour, the little wizards filled several pieces of parchment just by transcribing their notes, and if they did not review the complex and difficult content after class, then they would have to listen to the heavenly book for another two hours in the second class.
With half an hour left before the end of class, Professor McGonagall handed out a match to everyone and demonstrated how to turn a match into a shiny silver needle, the most basic introductory transfiguration technique seemed simple, but no one but Harry could make the match move.
After realizing the difficulty of Transfiguration, the young wizard was frustrated and looked forward to Professor McGonagall's next demonstration.
"Professor, can you show us the Animagus now?"
The whispered inquiry that came of nowhere made the entire classroom instantly silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Professor McGonagall in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.
"I think so, Miss Wimble."
Professor McGonagall had a rare smile on her face, the students were doing well in class, and it was time for her to make good on her promise.
"Before I get into the demo, let me give you a brief introduction to what Animagus Transfiguration is."
With a wave of Professor McGonagall's hand, the blackboard was emptied, and a new line of writing appeared.
"I need to reiterate that Animagus is a very dangerous and life-threatening advanced transfiguration technique that can lead to great life-threatening practices if practiced wrongly, and there are countless sanity in history that have led to death due to wrong practice, including many powerful wizards with a reputation for being famous."
"The original purpose of the Animagus Transfiguration was to be used for reconnaissance, and if you take the History of Magical Wars in your third year, your textbook will explain it in detail, and at the beginning of its development, the Animagus was able to transform wizards into a non-magical creature, which could be insects, or animals, and wizards would have all the characteristics of a shapeshifting creature after transformation."
"If your Animagus is a hunting dog, then your sense of smell will be strengthened thousands of times, if your Animagus is an eagle, then you can fly at an altitude of more than ten kilometers and clearly see the rabbit running on the grass, Animagus is a semi-permanent human deformation, so as long as the wizard does not take the initiative to dissolve the magic, or is forcibly dissolved by others, your Animagus form can be maintained until death."
"As long as the wizard's magic power is not exhausted, all damage to the Animagus form will not break the transformation, which is the most special point of the Animagus Transfiguration Technique, and it is also the closest to permanent transformation magic."
"However, because the creatures transformed by Animagus are non-magical creatures that do not have the ability to cast spells, the transformed wizards also lose the ability to use magic, and although they are quite effective in detection, on the battlefield, the dangers faced by wizards who have imprisoned their ability to cast spells are also extremely high."
"With the increase in the intensity of war, simple biological transformation can no longer meet the needs of wizards, and the wizards who can complete the transformation of Animagus are elites, and they cannot accept the end of their death because of their own hands and feet, so the second generation of Animagus Transfiguration came into being."
"The second stage of the Animagus is no longer simply to serve the reconnaissance, but to a great extent to strengthen the wizard itself, the wizards according to the principle of 'a transformation whole', through alchemy to create their own exclusive armor, the wizard, the Animagus stage of the transformation of the creature, the alchemy armor of the three as a transformation whole, the complex fusion of transformation, the completion of the miraculous second stage, the final form of the Animagus."
"And the wizard who has completed the second stage of transformation." Professor McGonagall had a subtle smile of pride on her face, "The wizarding world usually calls them: Super Witch or Super Wizard. ”
PROFESSOR MCG PULLED OUT A CARVED VERSION OF HER USP PISTOL, AND WITH A GENTLE WAVE OF HER HAND, HER WAND INSTANTLY TRANSFORMED FROM A PISTOL TO A JAW-DROPPING, MASSIVE (40MM CALIBER), LEAN (6-ROUND REVOLVER), AND VIOLENT MGL REPEATING GRENADE LAUNCHER THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PRESENT HERE.
The white-gold paint was carved with scarlet lines, and the crimson lines outlined a roaring lion, and Harry had no doubt that Professor McGonagall had accidentally pulled the trigger and could take away more than half of the students in the classroom with a single shot.
"The second phase of the Animagus transformation will fix the wand form, so before the transformation, you need to determine it in advance, which is the only inconvenient point."
Professor McGonagall smiled, she seemed to be in a good mood at the moment.
"Each professor has his own unique direction of fighting, and the choice of wand form is crucial, and in future Charms classes, your Professor Flitwick will teach you this."
"Okay, class is coming out soon, I hope my next demonstration will make you interested in the complex and advanced subject of Transfiguration, and if anyone can meet the conditions, after the fifth grade, my elite improvement class will open up the study of Animagus Transfiguration."
The little wizard who was hung up on his appetite stared at Professor McGonagall without blinking, and he didn't see any extra spell casting movements from her, only to see a 'boom', Professor McGonagall's body became extremely blurred, and countless silver fish-scale flashes appeared from the blurred figure, but in the blink of an eye, the silver light disappeared, the brown-black lines diffused into patches, and the tabby-like stripes quickly converged in people's eyes.
Professor McGonagall, who was already tall, seemed to be four or five inches taller at the moment, her long brown and black hair was no longer tied into a tight grenade-like braid, her shoulder-length hair was spilling softly, her bright yellow cat-like vertical pupils revealed a coldness, and the cold light of the upper hunter revealed an invisible sense of oppression.
A set of exoskeleton armor that fits the body seems to grow out of the body, and the outer armor painted with brown and black markings glows with a cold glow of steel, and the tail of a three-foot-long cat flicks gently.
As their eyes focused on Professor McGonagall's face, the young wizards inhaled in surprise.
Professor McGonagall was no longer young, her majestic face was covered with the traces of time, and at this moment, with a hint of wildness, there were three brown claw marks on the left and right, and the folds on her face were also stretched at this moment, Professor McGonagall, who was at least forty or fifty years younger, was transformed into a catwoman full of strength and agility in this moment, and the slow old age disappeared from her.
"When you advance to the second stage of Animagus, your current physical state will also be recorded."
A voice that was slightly clearer than before sounded, "I completed the second stage of the Animagus Transfiguration when I was twenty years old. ”
She smiled lightly, many of the little wizards in the classroom seemed to have missed a beat of their hearts, which was the wisdom of the years, and contained the smile of her most beautiful years It was really a good lesson for this group of little wizards who had never seen the world, but because of this, Professor McGonagall didn't like to show off her Animagus transformation, she thought that it was easy to manage students if she was too young.
"As for the power that comes with the transformation." Professor McGonagall raised her hand slightly, metallic claws replaced slender fingers, and the original MGL grenade launcher was now only left with the muzzle of the cannon on her right wrist, and with a slight muffled sound, the faint transformation charm hit the floor of the classroom, and in an instant, the entire classroom began to flow.
The desks melted to the ground, the walls began to grow, and the super-large range of transfiguration directly changed the entire classroom ground, countless obstacles appeared from everywhere, the upper part of the classroom turned into a complex labyrinth, and the little wizard who looked up saw a blurry figure flickering.
The sprinting catwoman twisted her waist lightly before she was about to hit the wall, turning into a broken line and flashing phantom through the complex maze almost in a few blinks of an eye, and the stone statue as a target was torn apart in an instant after a dazzling sharp light, although the elegant slaughter was only aimed at the target of the stone carving, but after the cold light flashed, it was still chilling.
However, the display ended with the classroom returning to its original state, and Professor McGonagall, who had returned to the front of the classroom, gently rubbed her sharp claws, and the expression that seemed to be unfinished flashed away, and the professor had indeed not moved his body for a while.
"So, class."
Professor McGonagall, who was familiar to everyone and regained her meticulous and rigorous appearance, nodded slightly to the students and walked out of the classroom with the bell ringing.
