The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 37 The potion of Animagus is so disgusting, how can anyone really drink it?

Bell looked at Hermione strangely, completely unable to understand why the little witch was so angry.How he does it and when he completes the transformation, these should be his own business, right?Does it have anything to do with Hermione?

"Hermione, everyone has their own preferences. I don't like the feeling of attracting attention. In contrast, I prefer to be able to read a book quietly by myself. That's why I didn't complete the transformation immediately." Bell He explained lightly, "To be honest, I don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior, so why are you so angry?"

Listening to Bell's unexpected answer, Hermione was speechless.

Now that she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she also didn't understand what she was thinking before.

'Why am I angry? '

The little witch who temporarily lost her memory was confused.Bell is free to do whatever he wants, as if it really has nothing to do with him.

Ever since she came to Hogwarts, Hermione felt weird.Maybe it's because it's the first time to go to school so far from home? Maybe it's because it's the first time that I feel like I'm losing out to others?Maybe it was the experience after returning to the dormitory last night that made her realize the huge gap between reality and imagination?In short, after getting up in the morning, Hermione didn't know herself a little.

Hermione took a deep breath and apologized to Bell, "I'm sorry, Bell. I... I don't know what to say, I..."

"Okay, I see, Hermione."

Seeing that the little witch was at a loss, Bell interrupted Hermione.

"I don't mean to blame you."

"It's normal to be a little bit confused when you're so far away from home suddenly."

Bell in turn comforted Hermione, he was very able to understand the little witch's feelings now (what he thought).

"Actually, don't look at me like this. In fact, my current mood is much more chaotic than yours."

"Thank you, Bell."

Hermione gave Bell a complicated look.

"You're welcome." Bell waved his hand and said, "Do you have any plans for the future? Do you want to go to the auditorium for lunch together? Although we don't eat at the same table."

Hermione, who was planning to go to dinner, nodded in agreement, and walked towards the auditorium with Bell.

On the way to the auditorium, Hermione asked about her doubts in Transfiguration class.

"Bell, do you know what kind of magic Professor McGonagall used before class? It's the one that turned himself into a cat."

"That's an Animagus."

"Animagus?"

Hermione recalled the books she had read and confirmed that she had never seen this word before.

"Yes, Animagus is a relatively difficult form of transformation magic. It can transform itself into an animal. However, it can only be transformed into a fixed animal form. After the first transformation, subsequent transformations will not change. It will be the same as the first time. This can be regarded as the shortcoming of Animagus. Of course, it also has its own advantages. Animagus can maintain deformation for a long time, and there is no trace of casting spells at all, so it is difficult to be detected. "

"Na Bell, will you also transform into an Animagus?"

"No, no, and I don't plan to learn this kind of magic, at least not for the time being."

"why?"

Hermione looked curious.

"First of all, the effect of Animagus is limited. In most cases, if we need to transform into an animal to do something, we only need to use human transformation. Although human transformation has a large consumption and obvious traces of spellcasting and other shortcomings, but can be transformed into different animals according to needs, which is not worse than Animagus in general. Another reason is that to complete the transformation of Animagus requires drinking a unique potion, then This kind of potion is really disgusting!" Bell said with a look of disgust.

He really didn't understand how that potion was invented, its inventor was really too strong, in every sense of the word.

"What kind of potion is so disgusting? Aren't potions all disgusting?"

Hermione was puzzled.

"..."

Bell was speechless. Thinking carefully about the ingredients of those potions, most potions were really disgusting.No, I must eat more delicious food later to suppress my shock.

"First, you need to hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth. You must keep it in your mouth for a whole month, whether you eat, sleep, or do anything else. Then, when the moon is full, put the leaf in your mouth. Take it out, put it into a small bottle, and fill the bottle with your saliva. I won’t go into details about the subsequent steps, in short, ferment your own saliva for a few weeks or months, and then drink it go back."

Bell felt nauseous just thinking about it, and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.

"Honestly, I'd rather drink the slime of a Flobber caterpillar than drink my own fermented saliva."

Hermione imagined it in her head for a moment, then interrupted her thoughts immediately.It's time for lunch, and if I think about it, I might not have dinner.

"Of course, these are not the main reasons." Bell continued to explain, "It is generally believed in the magic world that Animagus can only transform into ordinary animals, but I don't think so. If you read the relevant aspects If you look at other books, you will find that the description of Animagus in the book is, 'If you want to transform into a magical animal, there will be unpredictable consequences'."

"That said, it's not about failing, it's about not knowing what to expect. It could be 'wizards can't transform into magical animals', or it could be 'those wizards who try don't succeed in transforming into magical animals.' After all, learning There are too few people with this kind of magic, and even fewer people conduct in-depth research, so there is not enough information to make a judgment."

"Since there are two possibilities, why do you think it's 'those wizards failed' instead of 'can't transform'?"

Hermione looked at Bell in bewilderment.

"Because of the Patronus Charm."

Looking at Hermione who was puzzled, Bell continued: "You can ignore what the Patronus Charm is, and you will know about it later. You just need to know now that wizards generally believe that the Patronus Charm summons Gods can only be ordinary animals. And because of the high difficulty and limited effect, very few wizards can master the Patronus Charm. How about it, does it sound almost exactly the same as Animagus?"

"However, there is an exception in the Patronus. The greatest white wizard in the modern magic world, that is, our Professor Dumbledore, his Patronus is a phoenix, a magical animal, and the only one known so far. A patron saint of magical animals."

Mentioning his magic research, Bell's whole spirit changed, and his eyes seemed to shoot out.This was the first time he had talked about his research with someone other than Shanna.
