My name is Snape at Hogwarts

after an hour.

Snape sat in a sofa chair, listening to them discuss several recent articles in Transfiguration Today, drinking his own black tea in silence without saying a word.

Although the battle just now didn't consume much of his magic power, it consumed too much of his mental energy.

"Professor, I have never understood that human transformation can also transform into animals, and the risk is much lower than Animagus. Why do we still need to learn Animagus?" A girl suddenly asked this question .

Um?interesting!Snape heard this question and became interested. He looked at McGonagall with piercing eyes, wanting to hear her answer.

"I thought you would ask me this question later." Mag smiled, "You are not the first person to have this problem. If you have achieved certain results in human body transformation, you will have this problem. The answer."

"Regarding this question, I can only say that each has its own advantages." Mag thought for a moment and gave the answer.

"Can you elaborate, Professor?"

"Oh, of course, that's what I was about to say." Mag nodded, "You all know that the highest achievement of transformation is the Animagus. However, I guess few of you know why the Animagus... It will be the highest achievement of Transfiguration, right?"

"Isn't it because it's difficult?" asked a male student.

"This is impossible, Mr. Dillion." Mag shook his head, "I don't deny that Animagus is difficult, but this alone is not enough."

"I know a little bit about it." Snape raised his hand.

Mag nodded to him, gesturing for him to speak.

"If I remember correctly, Animagus does not strictly belong to modern magic, but to ancient magic." Snape sorted out his thoughts and spoke softly. Seeing McGonagall's nod, he knew that he did not I made a mistake and continued.

"According to rumors, Animagus magic was the specialty of Proteus, the son of Poseidon in ancient Greece, and was later passed on to his followers. It was not the ancient Greeks who promoted this magic, but the Celts , As for how the Celtics obtained this magic, it is impossible to study.”

"However, one thing is certain. The vast majority of wizards in the British magical world are descendants of Celts. This may be the reason why Animagus can be passed down intact."

Snape paused, took a sip of black tea, looked at the students who were deep in thought and McGonagall who was looking at him with a smile, and continued.

"Strictly speaking, modern transformation itself is the result of the separation from the magic of Animagus..."

"How could it be?!" the male student named Dilian screamed.

"It is indeed surprising, Mr. Dillion." Snape glanced at him and said calmly, "But it is also true."

"In 1650, a team of wizards headed by the transformation master Mr. Gamp established the International Animagus Symposium. If you know something about this, you should know that the third symposium came to this conclusion. , and know that no one has overturned it now."

"By the way, Principal Dumbledore is the current honorary president of the Animagus Transfiguration Seminar, and our Professor McGonagall is the deputy director of the document organization and editing department." Snape looked at it A look at Dillion.

"You actually know this?" McGonagall glanced at Snape in surprise, "I didn't remember that I told you."

"This is not a secret, Professor." Snape smiled and looked at McGonagall, "This is the highest honor for wizards and transfigurations, and its status is comparable to that of the British Order of Merlin. "Transfiguration Today" magazine It’s nothing more than an affiliate of it.”

"This is mentioned in both "Major Events of the Twentieth Century" and "The Complete Collection of Celebrities of Modern Wizards". It's just that you and the principal don't like to show off. In fact, you already have enough honors. ,Is not it?"

"I've never said that." Mag glared at him lightly, but the smile on her face betrayed her mood at this time.

Snape smiled, and of course he would not care about this. He glanced at Dillian, who was already pale, and continued.

"Modern transformation is the result of being separated from the Animagus. This is not a strange argument. Even Master Gamp admitted that many of his transformation theories came from the Animagus. Ancient transformation techniques were mostly used in war, while magical expressions were more focused on elemental transformations. The leader among them is the one we all know, the great palace wizard, Merlin."

"Back to our original topic, Animagus is the highest achievement of transformation. This sentence should actually be changed to, Animagus is the highest achievement of modern transformation magic system, and at the same time, it is also the end. As for the reason , I just said it. It can be said that all the transformation techniques we are learning now are just laying the foundation for this magic."

"Pah, pah..." McGonagall looked at Snape, smiled and clapped, "Unfortunately, this is not a classroom, otherwise, I really don't mind giving you some points, Silver .”

"Thank you for your compliment, Professor." Snape smiled and nodded, "I just read more books. You know, no Ravenclaw can refuse knowledge."

Mag shrugged lightly: "Okay, dear, you are always so humble."

Snape smiled and didn't answer.

"Since you know so much, I think the question just now won't trouble you." McGonagall smiled and looked at Snape expectantly, "Let's talk about it."

"Actually, I don't know very much, I just have some guesses." Snape said calmly, and expressed his thoughts under McGonagall's encouraging eyes.

"The first thing should be the pursuit of transfiguration. Wizards who like transfiguration know the highest achievement of transfiguration and naturally want to complete it. In addition to this, compared to human transfiguration, although Animagus is not as diverse , in fact, the risk is not that high.”

"Why?" The female student who asked this question was the same one who asked McGonagall at the beginning. "Everyone knows that Animagus transformation is very dangerous. If you are not careful, it will have serious consequences, even You will lose your life.”

"Of course, I know." Snape nodded and looked at her, "But if you complete the Animagus magic, which one is more dangerous than human transformation?"

"This..." The female student seemed to understand what Snape meant, and she fell into thinking.

"Yes, that's it." Snape continued calmly, "Although Animagus is very dangerous, please don't ignore the characteristics of this magic. That is, once you succeed once, you will definitely succeed in transforming in the future. It may even become instinctive, which is to cast spells without a wand.”
