Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

library.

Mrs. Pince was making her rounds with a straight face.

She loved it here, just as Filch loved the corridors of the castle.

Because this is her territory, and only here is she the most majestic person!

Mrs. Pince is very irritable. Once she finds a little wizard making loud noises or damaging books, she will rush up like a vulture hunting prey and teach the other person a profound lesson.

Everyone here is afraid of her, not because of how advanced her skills are, but because she will spit on your face when she curses.

At this time, a black-haired boy walked in.

He walked up to Mrs. Pince and said politely: "Hello."

Mrs. Pince stared at him with a hawk's eye and said, "What do you want?"

"I want to go to the restricted area." Arthur said with a smile.

When Mrs. Pinsi heard this, she immediately frowned and said sternly: "Students are not allowed in the restricted book area!"

"I have the professor's signature." Arthur calmly took out the note and handed it to her.

Mrs. Pince squinted her eyes for a long time, as if thinking whether the note was true.

She said: "This note had better not be forged, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

"You can ask Professor Baribone." Arthur shrugged.

Mrs. Pince looked at him for a moment and said, "No need, come with me!"

Arthur followed her quickly to the entrance of the forbidden book area, where there stood a hollow brass pillar with many complicated patterns carved on it.

Arthur had noticed this strange pillar when he swam over at night before, but he never understood its purpose.

"We will soon find out whether it is true," Mrs. Pince said, and she inserted the note through a hollowed-out patterned area on the pillar.

White flames suddenly rose inside the pillar, instantly engulfing the note!

Then spit out a small brass card, which read: Admission granted, Mr. Arthur Curry.

Mrs. Pince sighed in disappointment. She probably felt that she would not be able to cause trouble for this boy today.

Arthur took the card and looked at it carefully.

It took me a long time to figure out that this pillar was the guard of the forbidden book area. It was quite smart!

"Can I go in with this card?" Arthur asked curiously.

Mrs. Pince snorted and said, "You are the only one allowed to go in! You can only look inside, and you can't take anything away! You must come out before eight o'clock in the evening!"

"Ok, thank you."

Arthur thanked him, crossed the pillar, and entered the forbidden book area.

At this moment, he felt like he had passed through a barrier, as if he were entering the water.

My whole body was washed from the inside out.

No wonder Cedric said that the Disillusionment Curse was useless. The forbidden magic here would indeed break all concealment methods.

But think about it, if there really are no protective measures in the forbidden book area, wouldn’t it become an amusement park, constantly attracting little wizards to sneak in?

At the same time, Arthur also truly realized the power of the law. The phantom spell cast by the ring can ignore the forbidden magic here.

The light in the restricted book area is dimmer than outside.

Arthur walked past rows of bookshelves.

Some of the books above sensed someone passing by and began to move.

As if to tempt Arthur to pick him up.

'Come on, kid, I can make you famous! '

'I can give you supreme magic! '

'Pick me up, I know you are very excited, don't hesitate! '

'Want the secret to eternal life?bring it on! '

Arthur sneered and repeated these few words over and over again. Are you still trying to seduce me?Let’s practice some more speaking skills!

Without stopping, he first found the book "Dark Creatures You Don't Know", then picked it up and flipped through it randomly. After a while, he felt that time was almost up, so he continued walking back.

The "Animagus Guide to Transformation" was placed on the shelf in the third column of row No. 16. Arthur glanced around secretly, trying his best to look guilty.

Although he felt that he was probably fighting against the air, he had to be careful that there really was something like "monitoring" here!

Arthur took out a pen and paper from his pocket, compared it with the contents of the book, and prepared to record the Animagus's training methods.

In fact, he himself was very curious about how to practice such a difficult transformation spell.

First, you need to spend a month, starting from the full moon and ending at the next full moon. During this period, you must continue to hold a single mandrake leaf in your mouth!

Also, the leaves must not be swallowed or taken out of the mouth at any time, as if the leaves leave the mouth, the whole process must start over!

The second step is to take out the leaves during the full moon, fill a crystal vial with saliva, soak the leaves in the saliva, and let it receive pure moonlight.

If by chance it is cloudy that night, it will all start over again...

And add a strand of your own hair and a silver teaspoon of dew into the moonlit crystal vial.

The dew must be collected from a place that has not been exposed to sunlight or human contact for seven full days. Finally, a pupa of the Grimace Moth is added and the mixture is placed in a quiet, dark place.

Do not look at it or disturb it again until the next thunderstorm.

The third step is to wait for the storm to come. Point the tip of the wand to your heart before every sunrise and sunset, and recite the incantation: Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus.

This is a soul-sensing spell with no specific effects.

Just rely on the spell to deepen the connection between the person and the crystal vial. The stronger the connection, the better.

Keep doing this until you feel a second heartbeat in your body, which means you are starting to succeed!

When lightning cuts through the sky, a mouthful of blood-red potion will come out of the mouth - if there is a heartbeat, the blood-red potion will definitely be produced at this time.

Only then can you go to the place where the crystal medicine bottle is hidden and take it out.

After swallowing the blood-colored potion in his mouth, he pointed the wand at his heart again, recited the spell, and then drank the potion from the crystal vial.

Once you get here, everything goes well, and then you will feel that there is another heartbeat besides your own heartbeat. This heartbeat becomes clearer than before, but it does not exist at the same time, but alternates. When alternating, your heart seems to disappear, so It can be very uncomfortable and painful.

But be sure to stay calm because then the creature you are about to transform into will come to mind.

The body will twist, move, and change together with the clothes on it, and become another creature. Don't panic, don't resist, but don't obey. You must calmly imagine that you are the center, otherwise the animal's head will dominate the body. , some animal behaviors after being frightened occur.

As for what kind of creature the Animagus will become after transforming, there is currently no specific magical theory to support it, and it can almost be said to be completely random.

But the creature you become must be your favorite and the one that impresses you the most!

...

After Arthur finished reading it, he only had one thought at this time, and that was that it was too troublesome!The steps involved are simply staggeringly complicated.

There also needs to be a combination of storms and full moons. If you meet someone who is unlucky and the clouds are overcast every full moon, then he will basically have no chance with the Animagus!

Arthur complained, quickly writing down these steps on paper.

Then I found "Close Your Brain" and hurriedly read it several times to let possible "monitoring" know that I had been here.

Then he stayed for a while, around dinner time, Arthur put the brass card into the pillar, and left the forbidden book area under the scrutiny of Mrs. Pince.
