Hogwarts Scholar System

After finding Animagus books in the library, Maple read the introduction and cultivation methods of Animagus several times.It has to be said that Maple underestimated the difficulty of this transformation technique before.

However, after gaining a deeper understanding of the Animagus transformation technique, Maple became even more convinced that the Animagus had a great chance of helping him deal with the Obscurus without having to passively wait for the moment when the Obscurus transformed.

Maple now only has more than half a year left, and with his own abilities, he is absolutely unable to master the Animagus in such a short period of time. He must seek help from Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore.

"What is the difference between Animagus transformation and ordinary transformation? For example, a wizard uses an Animagus to transform into an animal, and the wizard is cast into a transformation spell and becomes an animal. He also becomes an animal. He Are these two changes the same?" Maple found Professor McGonagall and asked.

"Of course it's different, Maple. Ordinary transformation only changes the appearance of the wizard, but Animagus transformation can also change the inside of the wizard. For example, you are turned into a cat, although you can't speak. You can only talk and run like a cat, but you still feel that you are a human in your heart. And when you use animagus to transform into a cat, when you are in cat form, you will feel in your heart that you have also become a cat!" Mag The professor told Maple about the feeling of transforming into an Animagus, which made Maple immediately think of Sirius.

Dementors have no eyes, but they can sense human emotions. Human hope for happiness is their guiding light, and human souls are the food they crave most.This is equivalent to the sense of smell of animals, except that animals smell smells, while dementors smell human emotions.After Sirius transformed into a dog through the Animagus transformation technique, the dementors could no longer smell him. This shows that the Animagus not only changed the human form, but also the inner spirit and soul. Changes have occurred.

"After the Animagus transforms, it has no other magic power except that it can transform back into itself at any time. After being transformed into an animal by magic, the wizard cannot use magic either. So in these two transformations, is the state of the wizard's magic power the same? "Maple asked another question that concerned her most.

"It's different, child. After the Animagus transforms, the wizard's magic power does change, but what kind of change it is, I can't give you an exact answer. And the ordinary transformation spell, after the transformation The wizard's magic power has not changed in any way, but has been sealed by the transformation spell cast on him." Professor McGonagall replied.

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

"Yes, Maple. It's just that it requires very advanced magical attainments and very powerful magical power. Most wizards can only release magic with the help of a wand. Very few wizards can cast a complete spell without a wand." Professor McGonagall said that she was unable to cast spells without a wand. Among the people she knew, Dumbledore was probably the only one who could do this.

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Professor." Maple said, and then revealed the biggest purpose of coming here today: "Professor, can you teach me the Animagus transformation technique?"

"What, you want to learn animagus?" Professor McGonagall opened her mouth in surprise, and her mouth could fit an egg in. "Why do you suddenly have such an idea, Maple?"

"Because I think Animagus transformation may be able to help me solve the Obscurus, and your answer just now makes me more convinced of this." Maple said.

"Using Animagus to deal with Obscurus is such a crazy idea, my God!" However, after Professor McGonagall calmed down and thought about it, he also felt that Maple's idea was not entirely fanciful.

"Didn't you say that when the Animagus transforms, the state of the magic power will also change? Although Obscurus is not controlled, it is originally part of my magic power. I think when the Animagus transforms, it cannot Stop your own changes!" Maple said again.

"I can't guarantee this. I think we need to ask Professor Dumbledore for advice." If you have anything, ask Professor Dumbledore. He knows everything. This is very Professor McGonagall's style.

"Sizzling bees!" Professor McGonagall took Maple to the principal's room and said the command to the ugly stone monster.

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, and Maple, what do you want here?" Professor McGonagall led Maple into the principal's office through the spiral staircase opened by the stone monster. Dumbledore was very interested after seeing them. asked.

Professor McGonagall immediately told Maple about her desire to learn Animagus to deal with the Obscurus.

"No one has ever tried it, but I have to say that it is a brilliant idea and has a high chance of success. My child, your excellence once again impressed me!" Dumbledore praised.

"What a genius! It's hard to imagine that he is only nine years old. He is simply a natural talent belonging to Ravenclaw!"

"He is a disciple taught by Snape himself, and he has a deeper connection with Slytherin. My child, come to Slytherin, where we can help you get everything you dream of." Phineas Black also interjected.

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

"Try my best!" Professor McGonagall agreed, and then took Maple away, and the portrait in Dumbledore's office started to make noise again. They all wanted to drag Maple to their college.

After leaving, Maple dived into the sea of ​​​​consciousness on the way to check the system that had just dinged once.

Ding, your excellence shocked the professors. You brought out the characteristics of a top student - you are extremely smart and gained 1 point of top score.

It's really stupid. Even Dumbledore's genius idea only got one point of academic mastery. It seems that the system is set up to only get one point of academic mastery at a time, and no matter how many people around you are shocked, you only get one point of academic mastery. Value.

After returning, Professor McGonagall did not let Maple learn Animagus immediately.Maple's current level of transfiguration is only at the intermediate level, and he must spend time mastering advanced transfiguration first.

Advanced transformation is more difficult than Maple imagined.Maple learned the basic transformation technique in one go, the intermediate transformation technique took more than a month, and the advanced transformation technique took him four months, but he can't say he has completely mastered it.

Of course, if Professor McGonagall didn't have so many classes and prepare for the end-of-year exams, Maple would make faster progress.

Time was running out, and Professor McGonagall did not require Maple to have a thorough understanding and integration.With the help of a wizard who had successfully completed the Animagus, Maple was able to lower her demands even though she didn't have enough time.Maple does not need to master the advanced transformation technique perfectly, but only needs to be able to successfully perform one or two advanced transformation techniques to meet the most basic requirements.

Of course, this also means that Professor McGonagall has to do more when Maple's Animagus transforms.And for safety, Maple must choose a small animal to reduce the danger.Like James Potter and Sirius Black, a stag, a big dog, while poor Peter Pettigrew only became a mouse.

However, Maple is better than Peter Pettigrew, because Professor McGonagall can provide dozens of times more help than James Potter and Sirius combined during their student days. Professor McGonagall has been completing Animagus for decades. But James Potter and Sirius next to Peter Pettigrew were little kids who had just completed their Animagus transformation.

And if Dumbledore is added to the mix, Maple's winning rate will instantly increase by [-] times.Speaking of which, Dumbledore was also the transfiguration teacher of Professor McGonagall and even Voldemort.

Of course, this does not mean that with a luxurious lineup like Dumbledore and McGonagall, Maple is infallible. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall can still help with the physical transformation, but Maple can only complete the challenge of will. .

Although the objects transformed by the Animagus are related to his own personality, maybe Sirius did have a big dog side in his personality at the beginning, but it is obvious that the frequent Animagus transformations later undoubtedly changed the recklessness of the dog in his character. The violent side amplifies.

Changing from a human soul to an animal-like soul is not an easy or pleasant process.Moreover, there is also the extreme physical pain that accompanies the transformation process. Maple must ensure that she has a strong enough will!

"The nightmare is coming!" Snape happily accepted the task of training Maple's will and cast a terrifying mental spell on Maple.

Keep your mind close and don't let the fear and despair in your heart knock you down!

Magic training, transfiguration practice, Animagus preparatory exercises, mental tempering, and so on, until August, Maple finally started the Animagus transformation.

After reaching a bottleneck, Maple's progress became smaller the farther back he went.On the other hand, the closer to the ten-year-old threshold, the more dangerous Maple's obscurity becomes.

So considering the threat of Obscurus, Maple started preparing for the Animagus transformation half a year before her tenth birthday.

First, a full moon was chosen, and Maple held a single mandrake leaf in her mouth until the next full moon.And it is not allowed to be swallowed or taken out of the mouth at any time.

After the first step is completed, remove the leaf during the full moon, fill a crystal vial with saliva, soak the leaf in it, and allow it to receive the pure moonlight.To the moonlit crystal vial add a strand of your hair and a silver teaspoon of dew collected from a place where there has been no sunlight or human contact for seven full days.Finally add a pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth.Keep this mixture in a quiet, dark place and do not look at it or disturb it again until the next storm with thunder and lightning.

Before a storm comes, point your magic wand at your heart at sunrise and sunset every day and recite the incantation in your mouth -

"Amador, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

When she could feel the second heartbeat after the wand touched her chest, Maple immediately went to Professor McGonagall and told her.

"A heavy rain is coming! Thunder and lightning!" Maple did not wait for the storm to come, because Dumbledore cast a spell that directly changed the weather.

This kind of magic is not really about creating lightning, but a method similar to artificial rainfall. Using magic to affect the charged clouds in the sky and the clouds carrying a large amount of water vapor is to interfere with the cause and effect of natural forces, rather than to create natural forces.

At the moment when lightning pierced the sky, he took out the crystal vial that had been buried before.Seeing the bright blood red color of the potion in the crystal vial, Maple immediately felt relieved.

In fact, this potion is not necessary, but it can increase the Animagus's chance of success.With the help of Potions Master Snape, this potion directly reached the highest level.

Accompanied by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape, Maple pointed her wand at her heart, recited the Animagus spell again, and drank the potion.

Another heartbeat in the heart beat violently, but the original heartbeat of his own gradually slowed down.A burning and tearing feeling spread throughout his body, and his limbs shrank inward and became smaller.

This transformation is magical, but the feeling is not wonderful. The whole body seems to be melted, and a hot burning sensation fills every part of the skin.

Suddenly, Maple felt another force burst into his body.

"It's Obscurus. It seems to have sensed danger and then chose to explode!"

Under Obscurus' actions, Maple's physical pain instantly increased several times.On the one hand, the transformation continues, with part of the body continuing to deform, and on the other hand, the place is invaded by the magic of the Obscurus.The magic power of Obscurus tried to prevent this change, and this part of the body began to grow larger again.

For a moment, Maple's body was in a mess, with some parts dented and some swollen, twisting into a ferocious monster.

Professor McGonagall pointed at Maple's heart and recited the Animagus spell to continue the transformation.Under Professor McGonagall's powerful spell, some of the swollen places began to continue to deform toward Animagus.Obscurus allocated more magic power to compete with it. The magic power of Obscurus used Maple's body as a battlefield to start a tug-of-war, with you coming and going.

"Calling God to protect you!" The endless pain caused Maple's body to explode and tear, and under the influence of Obscurus, Maple's soul, which was already undergoing a dangerous transformation from a human soul to an animal soul, became even more unstable. .After learning the Patronus Charm, Maple knew that the Patronus was not only the product of his happy hope, but also the spread of his positive will.

The patron saint is not only the spread of will, but also can in turn protect one's own spirit.Maple's bet was right. After the Patronus appeared, this strange black bat Patronus faintly spread an invisible wave, reaching directly to Maple's soul.

"I will not lose! Definitely not!"

Although the power of Obscurus is powerful, it only twists the will, but it is weak in the soul. Under the spiritual protection of the patron saint, the confrontation of magic in the body can no longer affect Maple's soul.Although the situation in his body was very bad and chaotic, Maple's soul was transforming towards Animagus in an orderly manner.

"Spiritual shackles!" Dumbledore took action, and a spiritual shackle hit Obscurus' compressed magic power that had shrunk by half.Obscurus immediately seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. The magic power it exported was directly reduced by half. When the Animagus deformed and extracted its magic power, its resistance was also greatly slowed down.

"Amador, Animo, Animado, Animagus!" After Dumbledore also joined the battlefield, Obscurus was quickly defeated.

After Obscurus' power was overwhelmingly suppressed, Maple's Animagus transformation began to proceed smoothly again.The closer the Animagus was to completion, the less magic power remained in Maple's body. Soon, Maple's patron saint disappeared due to the loss of magic power.But after the body's obscurity was suppressed, the physical pain was alleviated, and the protection of the patron saint was no longer needed. Maple was also able to endure the mental pain.

Finally, a formed Animagus collapsed to the ground. It turned out to be a bat just like its patron saint. Perhaps it was because the patron saint protected his spirit at critical moments!It's just that this bat is different from Maple's patron saint. It's no longer the ominous color of the dark night, but a noble and mysterious purple.

Due to the arduous process of transformation and the brutal torture, Maple is now very mentally depressed, and it is estimated that it will take several days to recover.

After successfully transforming and gaining a deeper understanding of the Animagus, Maple had deeper conjectures about the Animagus.Let’s explain it using chakra theory, which is easier to understand.

The properties of chakra should be similar. They are both a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, but the proportions of doping with each other are different.Although they are indistinguishable from each other in the mixed magic of the two energies, they are two energies of different natures after all.Under the influence of Animagus's transformation, the two undergo different changes.The spirit changes from the human spirit to the animal spirit, and the spiritual energy changes accordingly, but the physical energy cannot instantly become physical energy that is coordinated and synchronized with the new spiritual energy.

So the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, the spiritual power in the magic returns to the soul, and the physical energy returns to the body.Without the combination of the two, Animagus cannot perform magic. Furthermore, checking whether an animal is an Animagus and examining its body will not reveal anything, but examining its brain can instantly Anomalies are found.

Obscurus only has the wizard's negative emotions of depression or fear, and has no real soul, so it is so afraid of Animagus.Because Obscurus itself is an imbalanced state in which physical strength far exceeds mental strength. After the separation of physical strength and mental strength, it is difficult for Obscurus's thin spirit to gather enough strength to become Obscurus again.

And the huge body strength of Obscurus, without mental command, is just a missile without navigation, wandering in the body without knowing where to go.

Animagus is equivalent to disassembling and reorganizing the highly compressed and deteriorated twisted magic power of the Obscurus. After undergoing this thorough transformation, the Obscurus naturally disappeared.
