Hogwarts card wizard

The first class of the new semester is still Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

Kevin was glad they didn't drink too much last night, otherwise the first class of the third grade would have been scolded bloody by Professor McGonagall.

After entering the third grade, the difficulty of transfiguration has increased by another level, and they have already started to learn the transfiguration of the body.

While Professor McGonagall was talking, Kevin suddenly raised his arm.

"Mr. Allie, what's the matter?"

Kevin stood up and said, "Professor, this semester is about human transfiguration, can you tell us about Animagus?"

The Animagus is the pinnacle of Transfiguration, and the most difficult kind of Transfiguration.In the first transfiguration class of the first grade, Professor McGonagall demonstrated this profound and wonderful transfiguration technique to Kevin, who was still a freshman.

Professor McGonagall did not refuse Kevin's question. She said, "Please sit down, Mr. Allie! Now that you've reached this point, I can explain to you about Animagus."

When it comes to this kind of transfiguration that can transform into animals, everyone is interested.

Professor McGonagall said: "Animagus is a combination of Latin wizard and animal, and its meaning is self-evident, referring to those wizards who can turn into some kind of animal while retaining their own magical abilities. "

At this time, Hermione raised her arms high, and after getting a signal from Professor McGonagall, she got up and asked, "Professor, as far as I know, there is another disguise magus, right?"

Professor McGonagall said: "Yes, Miss Granger, you are right. A disguise magus refers to a person who is born with the ability to change, which is different from the acquired Animagus. This ability is related to Innate, and can change in many ways. So, I'm sorry! Guys, we can't learn this kind of Magus."

Kevin asked: "Then what is the difference between Animagus and ordinary transfiguration, professor!"

Professor McGonagall said: "There is no difference in essence. In addition to mastering the corresponding spells, the most important condition for the success of all transformation techniques is that the caster must have an absolute understanding of the transformation target. Animagus is no exception. , you must know every structure of the human body like the back of your hand."

This alone is enough to eliminate most people.

In fact, the attitude of many people towards Animagus is like treating those problems that become obstacles. You think you are ready to solve it, but when you face it, you find that the way you study the answer is addition and subtraction within ten. The content of the question is advanced mathematics, which is not on the same level at all.

"When practicing Animagus, many people become obsessed because they are not proficient enough, and cannot return to normal human beings, or even half of them."

Kevin said softly to Hermione beside him: "Isn't this a veritable "hybrid"?"

"puff!"

Professor McGonagall continued: "So the Ministry of Magic strictly controls this, requiring all Animagus' transformed animals and characteristics to be registered with the Ministry of Magic's Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office."

Everyone knew this, because Professor McGonagall was one of them.It's just that from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, there are only seven Animagus registered by the Ministry of Magic, including Professor McGonagall.

Animagus is very difficult and advanced, but not so advanced that only seven people can master it, so everyone knows that there are many Animagus that have not been registered.

Kevin asked again: "Professor, how many changes does Animagus have?"

When Kevin knew that the magic of Animagus existed, he immediately associated it with "72 changes".It's just that Professor McGonagall's answer abruptly "cut off" this connection.

Professor McGonagall said: "Sorry, Mr. Allie, I'm afraid I have to interrupt your dream of "infinite change". Unlike Yirongmagus, Animagus can only become an animal. Special existence, but remember that it is very-very-special-special!"

"Animagus cannot turn into any animal at will. The transformed animals are usually related to the personality and weight of the wizard. And most of the transformed animals are non-magical creatures."

This made Kevin a little disappointed. Even if he couldn't transform into 72, if he could become an Animagus, he most hoped to become a phoenix.Because Fox's performance in the secret room last semester really shocked him, not to mention his tears are the supreme healing medicine.

Professor McGonagall also told them why they couldn't transform into magical creatures.

The main reason is that Animagus can use magic after transforming into an animal, because there is an essential difference in operation between the magic of wizards and the magic of magical creatures.

In the simplest example, humans must use auxiliary tools such as wands to maximize the power of spells, while magical creatures such as phoenixes and dragons do not need these operations at all, and they can use magic themselves.

Although it was a pity, Kevin also asked how to practice Animagus, but Professor McGonagall reprimanded him for wanting to run before he learned how to crawl.

"I know that it is not surprising that some of you yearn for these advanced magics. We also had the same idea in school. But I must remind you that practicing Animagus in private is not only against school rules, but even The Ministry of Magic is also illegal."

"Also, if you want, you can ask Madam Pomfrey in the school infirmary. I think she would be very willing to tell you how many people she has treated who became obsessed because of practicing Animagus without permission."

Professor McGonagall’s words are not an exaggeration. Before the practice of Animagus was included in the school’s “forbidden list”, that is, the generation of Kevin’s father’s generation and the students before him, almost every year there were students who risked violating The Ministry of Magic banned the risk of practicing Animagus, and many people were injured or even killed.

For this reason, Hogwarts had to issue new school regulations to prohibit the practice of this advanced transfiguration, and since then this "chaos" has eased.

As for whether anyone has succeeded?

Kevin believed there were, but just like those who refused to register with the Ministry of Magic, these seniors must have chosen to hide this fact.

After the transfiguration, Kevin stopped Hermione who was about to go to the library. After talking...

"What? Are you going to learn Animagus?! Are you crazy, Kevin!"

Kevin said hurriedly, "Please, keep your voice down! Do you want me to get caught before I even start?"

Hermione said helplessly: "In fact, I really want to do this. Listen, Kevin! I know what you think, you are obsessed with those advanced magics, some of which I am willing to help you, but this time the Animag I really can't help you."

"Why?" Kevin asked, "Didn't we all do this before? Think about the spells and magic cards we researched."

Hermione said: "If Animagus is the same as studying magic cards, I will agree to you immediately without saying anything, but Animagus is different! Didn't you listen to Professor McGonagall, it has life Dangerous, I can't watch my friends die, especially with my help."

Kevin looked at her speechlessly, and smiled wryly, "Please, Hermione! I haven't started yet, so you're going to curse me to death?"

Hermione said: "In any case, I can't help this favor, and I can't help!"
