Seeing Charlotte pause for a moment, Hermione asked curiously:

"What role does the mandrake play in the process of becoming an Animagus?"

Harry Potter and Ron were also intrigued. They had also seen Professor McGonagall's transformation, which was really a cool transfiguration. Both of them had fantasized about being able to transform into other animals.

After Charlotte came to Hogwarts, he specifically looked for many books and materials about Animagus. He once saw related records in an ancient book.

"If you want to become an Animagus, the first step is to put a mandrake leaf in your mouth during a full moon. You can't take it out until the next full moon. If anything unexpected happens during this month, you will fail.

When the full moon comes, take out the leaves of the mandrake and place them in a crystal bottle filled with your own saliva. Then let the crystal bottle fully absorb the pure moonlight, and then add a strand of your own hair and a silver teaspoon of dew to the crystal bottle. If the sky is cloudy when you take out the mandrake, you must repeat the previous steps, and the dew must also be in a place where there has been no sunlight or human activity for seven days..."

After listening to Charlotte's story, Ron and Harry Potter looked at each other.

too difficult!

No wonder Animagus are so rare in the wizarding world. There are so many complicated steps, and if any small link goes wrong, you have to start all over again. People who are unlucky may spend several years to reach the last step.

The key is that there is still a risk of failure at the last step.

Only Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard it. She said excitedly:

"It would be great if I could turn into a bird!"

Seeing this, Ron was very surprised and said:

"You don't want to try it, do you?"

"Why not?" Hermione showed a longing look on her face. "I have dreamed of becoming an eagle since I was a child, flying freely in the sky. That must feel great."

"Is riding a broom different?" said Ron.

Hermione rolled her eyes speechlessly and turned her head away to ignore Ron. She always felt that there was something wrong with this man's brain.

At this time, Charlotte had already added the ground camel horn powder. After stirring for a while, Charlotte added a little bit of slug mucus, and then the viscous liquid in the crucible slowly became clear.

After the crucible cooled completely, Charlotte got half a pot of brown transparent liquid.

"Ding~! Congratulations to the host for completing the refining of the Mandrake Resurrection Potion alone. Bonus points*5 and a flying spell!"

It turned out to be a flying spell!

Charlotte never expected that the reward from the system this time would be the flying spell that only Voldemort and Snape knew in the original book.

This is a spell that allows one to fly in the sky without the aid of a broomstick or other flying tools. It is said that it was created by Voldemort himself, and he only gave it to Snape.

After practicing this spell to perfection, the flying speed will be even faster than that of a broomstick.

Without any hesitation, Charlotte directly upgraded the flying spell to the top level. Charlotte's original talent, the 'wind' in the thunder storm, had already been reflected in his extraordinary flying talent.

Now with the maximum level of flying spell, Charlotte is 100% confident that he can win the Quidditch championship this time.

"Charlotte, I want to become an Animagus, can you help me?"

At this moment, Hermione's voice interrupted Charlotte from his trance and said:

"Becoming an Animagus is a very dangerous thing. Have you really thought about it?"

Hermione nodded solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Harry Potter also stood up and said, "I also want to become an Animagus. I can become anything as long as I can escape from Uncle Desiree's house without anyone noticing."

Hearing this, Hermione stretched out her hands happily, "Welcome to join us, Harry."

Then she turned her head and looked at Ron, smiling and said:

"Ron, are you sure you don't want to join us?"

"Crazy! You two must be crazy. This spell could kill people." Ron said in disbelief. "Didn't you see that even a genius like Charlotte doesn't dare to try this easily?"

Charlotte smiled and said:

"In fact, I am already a true Animagus!"

As soon as he finished speaking, light golden feathers began to grow on Charlotte's face, but the feathers only appeared for a moment before he quickly returned to his human form.

But this scene still left the Iron Triangle stunned.

Ron, in particular, had his eyes wide open and his mouth opened into an O shape.

Charlotte said:

"I hope you didn't keep this secret for me. As for what kind of animal I can transform into, I will tell you when you all succeed in becoming an Animagus!"

Hermione and Harry said in unison:

"Of course! We must keep it a secret!"

Later, under the coercion and inducement of Harry Potter and Hermione, Ron also joined the group of Animagus. This reminded Charlotte of Harry Potter's father, who founded the Marauders group, which was also composed of three Animagus and the werewolf Lupin.

The four of them parted ways in the bathroom, and Hermione and the other two went to Gryffindor to begin preparing what was needed to become an Animagus.

Charlotte returned to the dormitory and put the petrified blood of the fire demon into the resurrection potion he had just prepared. He only needed to wait for seven days for it to regain its activity.

And seven days later, Quidditch will start.

Chapter 22: Quidditch Cup, Cedric's Reminder

The week passed quickly.

Now the explosion of the Fire Demon's blood has caused a drastic change, from a black stone to a crystal clear crystal.

There is a cluster of dark red flames burning slowly in the transparent crystal. If you stare at this cluster of flames for a long time, your eyes will feel a burning pain.

During this period, Hermione temporarily gave up the pursuit of Snape because she began her Animagus training.

Charlotte was extremely satisfied with this situation.

Recently, he has tried many times to sneak into the secret room on the fourth floor, but as soon as he approaches the fourth floor, he will feel a strong sense of crisis. Charlotte dares to guarantee that as long as he dares to appear in the secret room, Dumbledore will appear in front of him at the first time.

Even though Charlotte's Disillusionment Charm had been practiced to the maximum level, it was still not enough in front of Dumbledore. After all, he could even see through the Invisibility Cloak, one of the three holy artifacts.

After the morning classes, everyone gathered in the auditorium restaurant.

Harry Potter drank a glass of pumpkin juice carefully, because he had a mandrake leaf in his mouth and he was afraid that he would swallow the leaf if he moved too much.

The three of them had obviously spoken much less in recent days, especially Hermione, who tried not to speak when possible.

After Professor McGonagall noticed that the number of times she spoke in class had dropped sharply, she thought she was troubled by something recently and had talked to her twice.

The four of them ate in silence, but the classmates around them were very enthusiastic because tomorrow was the first Quidditch match of the year at Hogwarts, and the whole school was looking forward to this day.

"I bet one Galleon that this year's champion is still us, Slytherin!"

"Slytherin is outdated. Gryffindor is this year's champion. Harry Potter is the youngest seeker in Hogwarts in a century. He will definitely be able to catch the Golden Snitch in the shortest time!"

"That's right. Apart from that, the Weasley twins are also very strong. Their tacit understanding is unmatched!"

"Gryffindor was beaten so badly by us Slytherins last year that they couldn't even raise their heads. Have you completely forgotten about it after only one year?"

"Last year was last year. We will definitely beat you this year!"

"..."

Those who were arguing in the restaurant were basically all from Gryffindor and Slytherin. These two houses have been incompatible since the founding of the school.

Whether it is the annual House Cup or the Quidditch Cup, the fights are always bloody.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Harry Potter said very carefully:

"Charlotte, I'm suddenly nervous. It seems that everyone has high expectations of me, especially Senior Wood. He is almost crazy about winning the championship. What if I don't catch the Golden Snitch?"

"Don't be nervous, just relax. This is just an entertainment game. Just have fun." Charlotte comforted him, "Of course, you have to be careful about what you put in your mouth. Don't try to catch the Snitch with your mouth."

This sentence successfully made Harry Potter laugh. Everyone thought Charlotte was joking, but only Charlotte herself knew that in tomorrow's game against Slytherin, the Golden Snitch accidentally got into Harry Potter's mouth, and Gryffindor won the game.

Just then, a handsome boy with brown hair came to Charlotte.

"Hello Charlotte, I'm Cedric Diggory, the Seeker for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. I hope we can have a wonderful match on the field tomorrow."

Just like described in the original book, Cedric is very handsome. Although he is only thirteen years old, he has already made a name for himself in Hogwarts with his handsome appearance and extraordinary magical talent.

Charlotte had met him several times, but they had never spoken. She didn't expect that he would suddenly come to her today.

"I really like the style of Hufflepuff. You are a team with real competitive spirit. I am looking forward to playing against you."

Cedric smiled slightly, and a sense of melancholy prince immediately came into everyone's eyes. Charlotte exclaimed, "Wow!" No wonder this guy could capture the hearts of so many girls, who could resist such temperament?

He whispered to Charlotte:

"Be careful of Draco Malfoy. I overheard that they want to harm you in order to prevent you from participating in the competition tomorrow."

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Thank you for your reminder, but I don't think they will succeed."

Looking at Cedric's back as he turned and left, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh. He was a good man, but he died too early.

When watching the movie, Charlotte was wondering whether Cedric died so early because he had too many advantages and was too perfect, so he overshadowed the protagonist, so the author deliberately wrote him to death.

Hermione asked curiously:

"What did he say to you?"

Charlotte glanced at Malfoy who was sitting not far away and said loudly:

"He didn't say anything. He just reminded me to beware of Malfoy. They Slytherin people want me to be unable to enter the stadium tomorrow."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the restaurant turned their eyes to Malfoy, with a look of deep disdain in their eyes. Quidditch has a very sacred status in the wizarding world.

Loved by more than 90% of wizards, Slytherins' eating habits on the court were already ugly, and no one expected that they would resort to such despicable means to win.

Malfoy's face suddenly turned red. Just when he was about to stand up and argue, Gray Gustav, who was sitting next to him, stood up and said with a smile:

"I swear as the head of Slytherin that this is absolutely a rumor. We have never thought of using such despicable means to win Quidditch because there is no need. This can be seen from the strength of our Slytherin, which has won the Quidditch Cup for five consecutive years."

"If Charlotte Elvis still has doubts, I am willing to send two Slytherin elites to act as guards to protect Charlotte's safety."

Hearing this, Malfoy showed an expression of disbelief on his face. Is there something wrong with the prefect's brain? He actually hired someone to protect Charlotte's safety. In this case, how can he take revenge?

Charlotte just smiled and said, "I was just joking with you guys, don't take it seriously. I still believe in the character of Slytherin. They definitely don't have the courage to do such a thing."

Chapter 23: This guy is a freshman?

Hearing this, Gray narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and walked to Charlotte's side, looking down at him, and said in a cold voice:

"Shiloh Elvis, we'll see."

After saying that, all the Slytherins in the Great Hall stood up and followed Gray out. They looked at Charlotte with resentment in their eyes.

Hermione frowned and said:

"You shouldn't anger Gray. He is very prestigious in Slytherin House, and he is already a seventh-year student. It is said that he is very likely to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation. I advise you to stay in the Ravenclaw common room and don't show up before tomorrow's game."

Charlotte said nonchalantly:

"This is Hogwarts, they don't dare to mess around."

Hermione shook her head helplessly, picked up her things and left the restaurant. Ron and Harry Potter also got up and followed. When Ron turned around, he said:

"I think you should listen to Hermione. Gray is not someone you can mess with."

Charlotte didn't say anything, but slowly finished her breakfast, then walked out of the castle and headed towards the forbidden forest.

Passing by the cabin where Hagrid lived, Charlotte walked deeper into the forest for about ten minutes, and stopped at a place where the trees were so dense that almost no light could penetrate.

Right in front of Charlotte, a group of skinny, dark creatures were looking at him warily.

This group of creatures looked very strange, with dragon heads and horse bodies, and a pair of very broad wings on their backs. It was obvious at a glance that they were extremely good at flying.

They are the magical creatures raised by Hogwarts, the Thestrals.

A magical creature that can only be seen by those who have seen death.

The Night Thestrals look extremely strange, but their temperaments are very gentle. However, when these Night Thestrals looked at Charlotte, their eyes were always very alert.

It seemed that if Charlotte dared to take another step forward, they would suddenly attack and hurt people.

Charlotte understood that this was because she had the blood of the Thunderbird in her body, and the Thunderbird was not a good person among magical creatures, and was known for its violence and cruelty.

These Thestrals have a deep-seated fear of Thunderbirds.

At this time, Charlotte said without turning his head:

"Now that you're here, don't hide it."
