Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 419 419. Successful Animagus Transformation
Scott pointed the tip of his wand at his heart and said the incantation, "Amador, Animo, Animador, Animagus."

Then, he raised his head and drank the small bottle of red potion in one gulp.

In an instant, he felt the second heartbeat in his body began to beat more and more violently, like a restless drumbeat.

"Get out of the way, out of the way."

He heard Professor McGonagall's voice, but he no longer had the energy to pay attention, because dense pain spread from his body and occupied his whole body.

The pain became more and more severe, and Scott could feel his body sweating constantly, and he had to concentrate all his energy to maintain his sanity.

He is very clear that in the process of trying to transform, only reason is the most important. He must make himself sober, maintain his own cognition, and not be affected by the wildness that belongs to animals.

The second heartbeat hidden in his body became more and more clear, and a strange consciousness also surged out of his mind, as if to replace his original consciousness.

This feeling is like being taken away by something else, which makes people panic for no reason.

But the remaining rationality told Scott that he could not panic at this time, and he had to maintain a fearless attitude and take the initiative to accept it.

This is of course against the instinct of the body.

But Scott still did it with reason.

Soon, he could clearly feel that his body began to undergo drastic changes.

His eyesight is constantly falling, which means that his height is constantly shrinking.

At the same time, something broke through his skin, what appeared to be a feather.

The body became lighter and lighter, the hands disappeared, the wand fell to the ground, the arms changed into another shape, the shoes on the feet also disappeared, and it seemed that sharp claws grew.

He could clearly feel a fundamental change in the contact between his feet and the ground.

More importantly, the magic power that can be sensed in the body is getting less and less, almost disappearing.

But Scott no longer has the extra attention to care about other things. He just feels the progress of the transformation with all his heart, and at the same time tightens the string in his mind to keep himself the last bit of reason.

It's not easy.

Because another consciousness has already occupied most of his brain area.

His thinking as a human being has been separated by a layer.

However, most of the brains occupied by strange consciousness can't think too much, and can only have some superficial consciousness, just like the instinct of animals.

What Scott has to do is to use his only reason to influence another consciousness, and then manipulate him.

It's like a tame and a tug of war.

But Scott succeeded.

I don't know how long it took, but Scott felt that his originally locked up consciousness seemed to break through a layer of shackles and stretch out completely.

The two consciousnesses that were originally distinct in my mind gradually merged.

Of course, the consciousness of being born as a human is the main one.

At the same time, his blinded five senses gradually became clear again.

He saw Professor McGonagall and others a little further off, and heard their voices.

From another angle.

"Mr. Trollope?"

At this time, Professor McGonagall, who was particularly tall in Scott's eyes, looked down at him.

"Are you ok?"

Scott nodded quickly.

"Very well, it seems that you have succeeded." Professor McGonagall laughed.

"Scott, you made it!"

"Great, you look really good now!"

The voices of Milton and Roger came.

Professor McGonagall said: "Next, try to move, follow the instinct of this body, and get familiar with the new mode of action."

Scott nodded again.

According to what Professor McGonagall said, he followed the instinct of the body, and soon flapped the limbs called wings, and flew up staggeringly.

The feeling of self-flying is simply amazing.

Scott felt the carefreeness emanating from his body and mind.

His sight was getting higher and higher, and his body quickly approached the ceiling of the auditorium.

He saw everyone looking up at him.

The flying movements became more and more smooth and flexible. Scott accelerated the flying speed and circled several times over the auditorium.

He saw his own flashing reflection in the glass window.

It was a peregrine falcon exactly as he had imagined, with a vigorous body and wide wings.

Outside the window is still lightning and thunder, pouring rain.

But the instinct of the body is urging him to leave here and fight for the sky.

Scott suppressed that instinct and began to slow down.

"Very good, now try to change back to human form, don't panic, imagine your own human form as clearly and detailedly as possible!" Professor McGonagall's voice came again.

Scott fell back to the floor.

He imagined his own human form in his mind, urging the deformation to happen.

The magical power that had disappeared in the body surged out, and Scott's sight was constantly raised.

Soon, much faster than turning into a peregrine, anyway, he recovered.

"I succeeded!" Scott lowered his head, looking at his hands happily.

"Very well, a wonderful and successful attempt at Animagus transformation."

Professor McGonagall applauded first.

Several other professors, as well as two of Scott's roommates, began to applaud.

"Thank you for your teaching, Professor McGonagall."

Scott bowed to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall had a gratified smile on his face, "You are the most talented student I have ever taught. Next, as long as you try to transform more, I believe you will be able to master it proficiently soon."

Scott nodded repeatedly.

"congratulations!"

Roger and Milton approached, and Roger held out Scott's wand.

"Thank you!"

Scott smiled and took his wand.

The three got together and said a few words, while the other professors turned and left the auditorium.

Scott remembered what happened before, and wanted to talk to Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore..."

Dumbledore turned his head, smiled and said to him, "Oh, Scott, I think what you need most now is a good rest, the first attempt to transform is always very exhausting, other things will wait until tomorrow. "

Hearing what Dumbledore said, coupled with the passing of the excitement just now, Scott really felt sore all over, and couldn't use his hands and feet, so he could only nod in agreement.

Scott was even helped out of the auditorium by two roommates.

Rimbaud was still waiting at the entrance of the auditorium, staring at him curiously from time to time.

Scott flicked his wand reluctantly, bringing it back to its original size.

Rimbaud and him looked at each other for a few seconds, rattled a few times, spread their wings and flew up, disappearing into the rain.

Roger and Milton supported Scott and walked towards the Ravenclaw Tower.

The two had just witnessed the transformation of Scott's Animagus, and they were still a little excited at this time.

"Once you are proficient, you can fly around, which is so convenient." Roger said, "You can even watch all the Quidditch World Cup matches without a ticket!"

"..."

Scott glanced at him speechlessly.

Milton said, "No, I'm afraid Scott will have to register his shapeshifting form with the Ministry of Magic."

"Oh...that's too boring, can't you hide it?"

"It is against the law for a wizard to conceal the transformation of an Animagus."

"So many people saw it today, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't register, Scott, you should try to transform in secret."

"No way, although I really want to keep it a secret." Scott said helplessly, "but the entire Animagus transformation process was carried out with the help of Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick."

The three came under the tower and looked up at the spiral staircase.

For Scott at this point, the tower's narrow, steep spiral staircase was a daunting challenge.

"Oh, let me take you up with a spell." Roger said to Scott with a smile.

"Alright."

At this time, there were no other students in the school, and Scott didn't feel ashamed, he just lay flat, floated up under Roger's spell, and followed them back to the common room.

Roger put Scott down on a couch.

Scott lay on the sofa, drank another bottle of potion, and regained some strength after a long delay.

It wasn't until the next day that Scott, who had a good night's sleep, finally returned to normal.

After breakfast, he went to Professor Flitwick's office with his two roommates, and Dumbledore was also here.

Professor Flitwick first talked about Milton.

"Have you thought about it? Again, from a teacher's point of view, I don't agree with you giving up your studies at this time." He said to Milton with some seriousness, "I hope you think rationally and don't be affected by emotions. "

Dumbledore also said to Milton: "I heard about your experience, child, but I think you need more time to think about it, and don't jump to conclusions."

Milton looked at the two professors with a confused look on his face.

"Sorry, I don't know..."

"Maybe you can have a good talk with Mr. Graves." Professor Flitwick continued, "He's working at the Ministry of Magic now. Of course, I can ask him out, secretly."

Milton shook his head with some resistance, "No, I don't know how to talk to him for the time being... Anyway, sorry, and thank you for your help."

"Oh, don't be nervous." Professor Flitwick looked at him kindly. "Well, the incident in Austria has subsided. You can continue to study your favorite music this summer."

Milton looked up at him too.

Professor Flitwick continued: "You can spend more time thinking about your future. I will meet with you before school starts, and then you will tell me the final answer."

Milton nodded subconsciously.

"I will follow your arrangement." He said with red eyes, "Thank you for thinking so much for me."

"It should be, you are my student." Professor Flitwick said with a smile.

Scott and Roger, who were standing beside Milton, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Next, it's your turn to ask a question, Scott." Dumbledore looked at Scott.

Meanwhile, he lets Roger and Milton leave first.

The two looked at Scott worriedly, left the office obediently, and closed the door by the way.

"I guess you want to talk to me about Broderick's problem?" Dumbledore asked Scott with a smile.

"Yes, Professor." Scott replied, "Bill told me that Mr. Bird was in prison and that Mr. Weasley had discovered something, but he didn't give details."

Dumbledore nodded.

"Very few people know, and I certainly don't know, that Broderick is an expert in manipulating memories," he said. "People don't know what he's researching in the Department of Mysteries as the Unseen Man."

Scott immediately remembered the trial.

"At that trial, the accused and his witnesses both claimed to be tested for Veritaserum, suggesting that their memories were fundamentally altered. Is that the cooperation of Mr. Bird and the Death Eaters, or rather, the Carrow family?"

"You could say that," Dumbledore replied, "but he didn't admit it. The reason he was in prison was because Arthur found out about his crimes, that he was secretly manipulating the memories of the other Unseen people in the Department of Mysteries. "

Scott wanted to ask Mr. Bird's purpose, but Dumbledore didn't seem to want to say more.

So Scott could only thank Mr. Weasley, "Thank you Mr. Weasley, I think I have to thank him."

To be honest, even though he already knew that Mr. Bird was arrested because of Mr. Weasley, Scott would still feel surprised when he heard Dumbledore say this.

The image of Mr. Weasley looks tall and thin, and he is also very interesting, but his whole person does not seem to match the words "strong" and "thoughtful".

Dumbledore said with a smile: "Your friend, Arthur, the father of the Weasley twins, is an upright and powerful wizard. Of course, he is good at something different from ordinary wizards."

Scott nodded in agreement, "Oh, I think the inventions of Fred and George, and the flying car that made a big fuss at Hogwarts are enough to illustrate the problem."

Dumbledore nodded approvingly.

But Scott is already thinking about another question, "In other words, we can't find those Death Eaters, or even Voldemort, their hidden base through Mr. Bird."

"I'm afraid not," said Dumbledore. "It's not just us. I think Lady Slytherin has been looking for Voldemort as well."

Scott was a little disappointed.

But he was not particularly disappointed, because at this time his crows had already set their sights on Malfoy Manor.

But he decided not to tell Dumbledore until he found conclusive evidence.

At this time, Professor Flitwick said, "Scott, I know you will be angry because of the attack by the Carlo brothers and sisters, but I hope you will not be impulsive."

"I see, Professor, they may be hiding with Voldemort," Scott replied.

He wouldn't take a risk if he wasn't sure.

In short, this conversation ended like this, and it was a pity that Scott could not get more information.

So he decided to speed up his self-reliance, thinking about learning to use the new rune circuit as soon as possible and updating his methods.

However, they didn't stay longer at Hogwarts, but came to London with Professor Flitwick this afternoon.

After seeing off Milton at the Ministry on his way to Vienna, Scott declined an invitation to visit Roger's house.

Because he was attacked by the Carlo brothers and sisters twice in a row, Scott was very worried that such a thing would happen again and hurt others.

After he made a phone call home to explain the situation to his parents, he returned to the oak cabin in the crow's territory through the portkey.
