Harry Potter and the Necromancer

The ferret was very obedient and first took a sip of black tea, then stroked his beard with his little paws.

After hearing Regulus Black's question, Draco didn't dare to be careless and immediately turned around and nodded to express his understanding.

"Hmm! You don't seem to be stupid. I have to check it for you. After all, this is a transformation spell cast by someone else, rather than your own Animagus transformation."

Regulus Black's wand emitted a gleaming wheel of light, sweeping across the ferret's body layer by layer, just like a Muggle scanning instrument, sensing the ferret's condition through different magic powers.

Sure enough, this is not a transformation spell, but a passive transformation of Animagus, or a variant of the Sheep Transformation Curse.

In the magic of wizards, there is a spell that can force enemies to transform into animals. In myths and legends, there are also stories of witches turning crew members into pigs and then killing them and eating them.

Animagus can transform on its own initiative when nothing happens, and of course it can also recover on its own initiative. The magic power in the body is not lost in the process.

Turning others into animals seems to have the same effect as animagus, but the transformed animals will lose their magic power. In other words, a wizard who is transformed into an animal will definitely not have the magic power to transform back. Not to mention Muggles.

A more serious problem is that over time, even one's own consciousness will be replaced by animal instincts. After turning back into a human again, the situation will be the same as that of the beast boy. The mind and body will become very abnormal. Of course, sometimes he will have An ability beyond ordinary people.

"Draco, do you want to learn from the Animagus?"

Regulus Black asked, holding an apple to the ferret.

The ferret holding the big apple jumped up and down like it, but it was completely confused about what an animagus was. The ferret tilted its head as if thinking.

"The wizard's Animagus transforms into an animal on its own, and of course it can also transform back on its own. The process can be dangerous, especially for beginners, who may become incomplete and have incompatible body organs. It’s very dangerous and requires other wizards to watch over you. Do you want to learn such dangerous magic?”

Only wizards who can transform themselves into some kind of animal while retaining magic spells can be considered to have truly learned the Animagus.

Regulus Black's question reminded Draco of the tabby cat that Professor McGonagall had transformed into, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

Why don’t you want to learn? There are only a few Animagus registered with the Ministry of Magic, and this is a magic that only a few people can master.

What's a little risk to be able to master magic that only a few can learn?

Besides, there is Regulus Black watching over him, right? The ferret stopped eating the big apple and nodded excitedly.

Since the beginning of myths and legends, there have been stories of people turning into animals. In Celtic mythology, it was common for people to transform into boars, swans, eagles, and ravens. Shamans in North American Indian cultures also often transformed into animals, usually birds.

Animagus cannot transform into any animal at will, and the animal it changes is related to the wizard's personality and weight.

Generally, each person can only transform into one animal. At the same time, Animagus transformation is usually limited to non-magical creatures. Transformation of magical creatures, such as phoenixes, dragons, hippogriffs, etc., will bring unpredictable consequences.

That's because wizard magic and magical creature magic operate fundamentally differently.

When practicing Animagus, wizards may go crazy, so the Ministry of Magic strictly controls it, requiring all Animagus transformed animals and characteristics to be registered with the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Magic Office.

But many people did not register it after practicing, including James Potter's stag, Sirius Black's black dog, Peter Pettigrew's mouse, and Rita Skeeter's beetle.

It seems that the Ministry of Magic's decrees still don't work sometimes.

It usually takes several years to become an Animagus, and it takes constant attempts to transform a person into the animal that best suits him or her. There is a possibility of failure, so transformation also requires courage.

As a result, there were only seven registered Animagus in the 20th century, including Minerva McGonagall's tabby cat.

The reason why Regulus Black encouraged Draco to learn Animagus was because his current state was obviously very suitable for the form of a ferret. If he hadn't talked to a ferret, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the snow and the animagus. Marten was transformed from a wizard.

After some people are turned into animals, their behavior becomes out of control until they adapt to their animal identities.

Na's reaction only proved that the animal form they transformed into was not suitable for their nature.

The ferret Draco transformed into had no desire to turn back into a human being, which shows that he is completely able to adapt to this form.

Wizards who practice Animagus need to be in such a state to have a high success rate.

"Then let's start now! I will help you open up the Rendu Second Meridian."

Regulus Black waved his wand and penetrated his magic into the ferret's body.

Defense Against the Dark Arts class has finally started! The students rushed to tell each other that everyone should be careful.

"I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. If you have any opinions, we can make it clear in person. Are there any questions?"

Alastor Moody wrote his name on the blackboard, then looked at the students with a twisted expression.

Who dares to have questions? I was scared to death when I saw this face.

"When it comes to teaching black magic, I think practice is the most important thing."

Alastor Moody put on a friendly smile, and the students felt a chill down their spines.

"First of all, who can tell me how many kinds of unforgivable curses there are?"

Alastor Moody rolled his magic eye, looking for students who might be able to answer the question.

"Three species in total, sir!"

Hermione was not in Gryffindor, so a certain unlucky boy, shivering, took the place of this answer.

"Because they're dark magic, and using any one of them will get you a one-way ticket to Azkaban."

Alastor Moody did not expect the boy to be able to tell the whole story, so he wrote the Unforgivable Curse directly on the blackboard behind him.

"The Ministry of Magic thinks that you are too young to see the effects of the Unforgivable Curse. I don't think so. You should know what you are going to face! You should be prepared to fight for this, instead of waiting stupidly to be attacked."

Alastor Moody turned again and began writing the names of three Unforgivable Curses.

"Mr. Finnegan, you should find a place other than under the desk to throw your chewing gum."

Alastor Moody turned and the whole class turned to look at Finnegan.

"What's going on? This old guy has eyes in his back?"

The school's famous bomber muttered nonchalantly.

"The Upside Down Golden Bell!"

Not only do I have good eyes, but my ears are also fine. You can just hang on like this until the end of get out of class.

Because the rumors spread by Regulus Black had a serious provoking effect on Barty Crouch Jr., his disguise as Alastor Moody also seemed particularly irritable, but all of this was a normal reaction. , no one will feel abnormal.

"Weasley! Stand up, let's say an Unforgivable Curse first."

Alastor Moody grew impatient and assigned students to answer questions.

Ron Weasley was the only Weasley in the classroom now, and he had to stand up.

"My father once told me about the Dementioning Curse."

Ron Weasley didn't know if his answer was correct. He spoke so softly that even Moody had to listen carefully to hear him clearly.

"Yes! The Detention Curse. Your father is very aware of this spell. It caused a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Magic a few years ago. Many wizards and wizards claimed that they were controlled by the Detention Curse before following the Dark Lord. The key is how to judge. Do they lie?"

Alastor Moody took out a poisonous spider from the bottle behind him, first enlarged it, and then controlled it with the Dementioning Curse, making the poisonous spider dance on the table. When the students laughed, he Then he threw poisonous spiders on their heads, causing bursts of screams.

"Whoever has another say, let it be you! Mr. Longbottom."

Alastor Moody, or Barty Crouch Jr., deliberately named Neville because he tortured his parents to death with his own hands, using the 'Heartbreaker', a weapon that specializes in torturing people's souls and souls. The curse of the flesh.

"What I know is the Cruciatus Curse."

For Neville, who was still a toddler, this question was a painful memory that had penetrated deeply into his soul.

"Heart-breaking!"

The curse was placed on the poisonous spider. The poisonous spider rolled and struggled in pain, but could not die.
