Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"Fairy lead blocks, each one can change its weight according to your body strength."

These things are all real goblin creations, and were made by the goblins themselves at the request of Gryffindor in the past.

Of course, the idea came from Ryan himself – he had seen the children’s version of the dumbbells in an orphanage.

“No! That’s not what we meant!”*2

The twins said in unison: "We're saying... this isn't practicing magic at all!"

After hearing this, Ryan looked at the two of them earnestly and said, "This is practicing magic."

"Strong muscles are the first step to becoming a duel master!"

"The great Gryffindor once said - if your body is not strong enough, you will not be able to wield a wand or sword, and no one will accept your magical theories. You won't even have the chance to get them to listen to your theories!"

"I don't think Gryffindor ever said anything like that!"

"No, Gryffindor really did."

Ryan looked at the two of them seriously: "I promise."

Chapter 24 Aniya Human Transformation

Has anyone ever seen Hogwarts at four in the morning?

Ryan has seen it.

After the twins dragged their tired bodies to beg for mercy and left the Room of Requirement.

Ryan still insisted on doing the three sets of training plans assigned to him by Gryffindor.

This is the advantage of the wizard. With the goblin craftsmanship as a guarantee, he does not need to worry about any injuries to this eleven-year-old body.

As for the mental and physical exhaustion—he could endure it.

Only when the rising sun cast its rays through the window did Ryan leave the Room of Requirement.

He came to the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor of the castle and randomly found a seat by the window.

He could see the sunlight outside the window falling on the brick walls of the ancient castle, as if covering the castle with a layer of soft golden gauze.

"A familiar sight."

Ryan sighed softly in his heart.

Then he heard a slight rustling sound at the door.

He turned his head and saw a tabby cat striding into the classroom.

"..."

The man and the cat looked at each other, and then... Ryan saw a flash of surprise in the tabby cat's eyes.

"Buzz!"

The tabby cat's body leaped up and kept changing in the air.

When it landed, it turned into a witch wearing a green wizard robe.

"Mr. Elias...you're really early."

Professor McGonagall's voice was still authoritative, but if you listened carefully you could detect a slight awkwardness in it.

She had originally planned to follow past 'customs' and transform into a tabby cat to intimidate the freshmen... ahem, or to demonstrate the wonders of transfiguration.

But she didn't expect that there would be a little wizard who would arrive in the classroom earlier than her.

"I didn't sleep very well last night, Professor."

Ryan answered casually, then turned his curious gaze to Professor McGonagall: "Professor - you just used... was it 'Aniye Transfiguration'?"

As soon as he asked this question, Professor McGonagall looked over with a surprised look.

"You actually know this spell?"

She was obviously a little surprised.

"Oh, Professor Flitwick may have told you that I have a family vault at Gringotts,"

Ryan replied without changing his expression.

"I saw that spell in one of those books on Transfiguration."

This is the advantage of having a 'family heirloom vault'... Ryan can blame many things on the books he has read to cover up his own uniqueness.

"I see."

And in fact, Professor McGonagall had no doubts.

She had indeed heard Flitwick mention it.

So at this moment, she also said seriously: "It is probably indeed a very old book... because the name 'Aniye Human Transfiguration' has been abandoned."

"Abandoned?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes—the ancient Greek wizard Falco Esalen invented this magic, but its initial version was far too difficult."

Professor McGonagall, like Professor Flitwick, is clearly a teacher who is not shy about sharing knowledge: "You can transform into any animal at will, and if you make a mistake, you can never change back... It's an incredibly difficult spell."

"So in 1207, Barberu Bragg simplified and improved this magic, reducing its difficulty and danger."

"And the improved spell, the one I master, can only transform into the animal that best suits you, but it offers greatly increased safety and controllability. It's called 'Animagus'."

When she said this, she looked at Ryan seriously: "So Mr. Elias, I must remind you."

"If the book passed down in your family records the practice of the ancient 'Aniye Body Transfiguration' - don't try it!"

Her voice was almost stern at the end.

As one of the most recognized masters of Transfiguration in the contemporary wizarding world, Minerva McGonagall's Transfiguration skills are unquestionable.

She is one of the seven Animagus registered by the Ministry of Magic this century, but because of this, she knows best the difficulty of the 'Animagus Transfiguration'.

It was the predecessor of Animagus and the highest achievement of human transformation.

It is said that those who master this magic can transform into any animal at will, unlike Animagus who can only transform into one corresponding animal.

However, due to its high difficulty, apart from its inventor 'Falco Esalen'... few people in the entire magical world have clearly mastered this transformation technique in the following hundreds of years.

of course.

If Ryan could hear Professor McGonagall's inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely refute her.

Because Ryan knew that Salazar Slytherin, one of his four teachers, had mastered this most advanced Transfiguration. This was also something he was very proud of, because Gryffindor had not been able to successfully master this spell.

Of course, Ryan nodded in agreement to Professor McGonagall's request.

In fact, it wasn't just Professor McGonagall.

Slytherin had never allowed him to practice this spell, even though he had always wanted to.

"I'll improve it and make it even more incredible - until then, it's not too late for you to practice it."

Only after seeing Ryan's statement did Professor McGonagall's expression ease a little.

She did not transform into her tabby cat form again, but sat down in front of the podium, waiting for other students to arrive.

As the sky gradually brightened, the little wizards from Gryffindor also walked into the classroom one after another.

Ryan didn't know many of them and only greeted Seamus.

After seeing him, the latter decisively chose to sit with him, and two other little wizards also sat down with him.

"They are Dean Thomas and Neville Longbottom."

Seamus introduced enthusiastically, "You don't need to introduce yourself, they all know you... You're a big celebrity, second only to Harry Potter - everyone in the school knows you!"

So Ryan shrugged and greeted the two men.

Dean is a rare black wizard with a thin face and a gentle personality.

Neville was a little wizard with a round face, who was a little fat. Ryan recognized him, and the toad 'Riff' was his pet.

He seemed a little timid, and even hesitated when greeting Ryan.

"I...thank you for...teaching Malfoy a lesson for me last night!"

His face flushed, and he finally seemed to muster up the courage to say this.

Ryan smiled and said you're welcome, and enthusiastically asked about the other party's toad.

"Laifu is a little shy. He seemed to be frightened last night, so I put him in the box I brought this morning..."

As if sensing Ryan's friendliness, or perhaps because he talked about his pet, Neville gradually relaxed.

Soon, almost all the Gryffindor students arrived - it is worth mentioning that Hermione Granger, who arrived later, did not choose to sit with the girls, but sat on the chair behind Ryan.

"Where are Ron and Harry?"

Ryan noticed that the last two little wizards who had not arrived were Hermione's two friends.

"How should I know? They and I are not in the same dormitory!"

Hermione seemed to be in a bad mood and her words were a bit harsh.

Ryan shrugged, not paying attention to her temper. Seamus beside him continued, "Harry was already up when I left, but Ron wasn't awake yet—he didn't look well. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night... Well, actually, I didn't sleep well last night either."

As he said this, Ryan saw Harry and Ron jogging into the classroom from outside.

Just like Neville said, Harry was fine, just a little out of breath.

But Ron's face looked pale, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"He was the first one to fall asleep last night. I could even hear him snoring."

Neville on the side scratched his head and muttered softly.

But at this time, Professor McGonagall's voice had already sounded.

"Potter, Weasley—you're late for the first class of the term, you..."

With her slightly serious voice, the little lion began his first class at Hogwarts.
