Chapter 119: Animagus

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Jon Hart and Zacharias Smith hurriedly left the classroom and walked down the spiral staircase of Professor Trelawney.
"How did you think of it?" Secretly glanced back, seeing Professor Trelawney not following, Zacharias suffocated a smile and said, "I think that old liar just wanted to eat you raw!"
"Hurry up!" Jon blinked, "There will be a transformation lesson in a while."
When the two of them had just returned to the castle, they suddenly encountered a riot of stairs...It took them a lot of time to find their way to the transfiguration classroom.
I arrived at the transfiguration classroom, there were few students in it, and Professor McGonagall hadn't come yet.
Jon found a middle seat and sat down while taking out the textbook; Zacharias sat behind him.
The transfiguration class was still taken with the students of Gryffindor. A few minutes later, the students of Gryffindor also rushed over one after another.
However, several Gryffindor girls headed by Ginny Weasley looked at Jon as if they were whispering.
...
They didn't wait long.
Soon, Professor Minerva McGonagall walked in.
"Welcome to start your new semester!" Professor McGonagall's tone is as serious as usual: "From the third grade, your learning content on Transfiguration will be provided at a higher level than before... You will no longer be like one. It’s the same as in the second grade. I only learn some simple transformation spells without much practicality!"
"You will be exposed to more complex transformation spells, but also more dangerous, so be careful..."
In Professor McGonagall’s class, no one dared to whisper; Jon listened to her teachings while flipping through the table of contents of Emeric Swich’s "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide."
"Now, turn your textbook to the third page!" Professor McGonagall continued: "The content of our first lesson is to learn to know ‘Animagus’!"
"Then the first question... can anyone tell me what is Animagus?" Professor McGonagall glanced at the crowd. "Very well, Miss Weasley!"
Ginny Weasley stood up and said slightly nervously: "He refers to a wizard who can freely become an animal while retaining his own magic power."
"Quite standard answer, Gryffindor will add five points!" Professor McGonagall nodded approvingly: "Animagus can allow wizards to freely change between humans and animals. After proficiency, no wand is needed. There is no need for spells, and it will not have any negative effects on itself..."
"At the same time, Animagus is also a very complicated magic. They cannot become any animal at will, and the changed animal is related to the character of the wizard; generally, each person can only become an animal!" Professor Ge paused and continued: "The transformation of Animagus is limited to non-magical creatures. The transformation of magical creatures (such as phoenix, fire dragon, eagle-headed horse-winged beasts, etc.) will bring unexpected and extremely terrifying things. as a result of."
"In addition, Animagus is very dangerous during the practice process, so the Ministry of Magic strictly controls it, requiring all Animagus' transformed animals and characteristics must be in the Ministry of Magic’s Office of Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. Register."
"In the Middle Ages, Animagus has always been a very popular spell; it is also a sign of a smart shapeshifter... After all, when you don’t need a wand or a spell, you can become an animal. Quite effective means of life saving."
"For example, the French witch Lisette de Lapin. She was arrested in Paris in 1422 for being accused of witchcraft by Muggles. The Muggles broke the wand and sentenced her. But it was Lisette. The night before she was about to be executed, she disappeared from the Bastille."
"In fact, Lisette de Lapan is exactly an Animagus. She can become a white rabbit, enough to squeeze out from the railings of the cell windows... the last of the Lancaster dynasty King Henry VI of England had a big white rabbit as a confidant, which made many people think he was crazy in private; however, this rabbit may actually be Lisette...because after Lisette escaped, Zeng Someone saw a white rabbit crossing the English Channel in a cauldron with sails."
"Of course, with the changes of the times and the determination of the wizard's secrecy law; the role and status of Animagus magic has declined significantly... At the International Transfiguration Conference in 1711, it was cancelled that the participants must be Animaag The requirement; the "Anamagus Norms Act" enacted on St. Helena in 1821, expressly stipulates that every Animago must be registered with the Ministry of Magic in his country."
...
After describing one side of Animagus in detail, Professor McGonagall turned into a tabby cat in full view, almost invisible to people, and there were obvious traces of glasses around the eyes.
This could not help but received enthusiastic applause from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students.
"Of course, the purpose of this lesson is just to let you know and know Animagus!" Professor McGonagall changed back into a human form: "Students who are really interested in this, wait until your sixth grade, if OWLs, Transfiguration class and Potions class have all achieved O (excellent), and a written application can be submitted to the Ministry of Magic; I will also personally guide you on the steps and processes of Animagus' transformation!"
"The transformation of Animagus requires a variety of complex potions~EbookFREE.me~ and must be configured by the deformer himself!" Professor McGonagall added.
Jon went through the contents of this chapter in the "Intermediate Transformation Guide". Sure enough, it was just an introduction, without any description of the steps and processes of the transformation method; it seems that Anigmas is also strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. Magic.
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Professor McGonagall arranged the homework... Jon put the textbook back in his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom with Zacharias.
"Animagus, it sounds very interesting..." Zacharias said with some excitement: "When I wait for the sixth grade, I must ask Professor McGonagall to learn, and then become a bee, mosquito or hummingbird. I sneaked into the girl’s bathroom, and what I wanted to do..."
"The premise is that you have to achieve O (excellent) in both the transfiguration class and the potions class!" Jon patted Zacharias on the shoulder and shook his head: "During the day, stop thinking, we have to go quickly Eat, there will be a magical animal protection class in the afternoon!"
