Hogwarts: The Strongest Animagus Ever

After leaving the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, the two separated at the castle gate.

Although he wanted to inquire about the specific content of this magic academy exchange activity, seeing Dumbledore's impatient look, Charlotte didn't dare to disturb him.

So he went to find Snape, who was the leader originally appointed by Dumbledore and must know the situation.

When Snape was found, he was brewing potion in the dungeon. A faint green light was coming out of the black crucible, which looked extremely creepy.

After seeing Charlotte, Snape's face showed a complicated look. He originally admired this student very much. Although Charlotte was from Ravenclaw, he was still willing to teach her all his knowledge of Potions.

But when he found out that Charlotte was the fire demon that appeared in the secret room on the fourth floor, he completely gave up the idea.

There is no way this kid would devote his entire life to potions!

When he heard that Dumbledore asked Charlotte to be the leader of this exchange activity, a hint of surprise flashed in Snape's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

With his true strength, he is more than qualified to be a team leader.

"This is just a very ordinary exchange activity. There is nothing special about it. It is just some academic exchanges between several magic schools, such as the development and application of some spells, exchanges in alchemy, potions, herbology, etc. There may also be some small competitions."

"The leader's job is to ensure the safety of the students and maintain order. Don't let them lose their discipline when they go out."

"So simple?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes, it's that simple!"

After Snape finished speaking, he stirred the crucible with a glass rod for a while, then dropped a few drops of transparent liquid into the crucible. Suddenly, a burst of purple smoke rose from the crucible.

“This is the latest potion I developed. Now is a critical moment. Otherwise, I should be the leader this time, but I think you are fully capable of taking on the role of leader.

Just be careful of the people at Durmstrang when communicating. They are completely different from those at Hogwarts. They believe in cunning and calculation. Moreover, Durmstrang does not prohibit dark magic. More than half of the dark wizards in the wizarding world come from Durmstrang!"

Charlotte nodded, thanked him, and walked out of the dungeon.

……

Hogwarts, in a very large room filled with clutter.

Charlotte stood beside Qiao Ya, correcting the mistakes she made when casting spells.

"When casting the Patronus Charm, you must imagine something that makes you happiest, and then concentrate on reciting the spell 'Expecto Patronus'. This will ensure that you will succeed. This spell has an extraordinary effect in resisting the Soul Eater.

At the beginning, the Patronus Charm you cast may just be a shield, but when you become proficient, you can summon your own Patronus!"

Qiao Ya nodded and slowly closed her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she read aloud:

"Call the gods to protect you!"

The next moment, a little silver light appeared on the tip of her wand, and then slowly grew larger, forming a ball of silver light mist.

Seeing this, Qiao Ya looked at Xia Luo happily.

She had been practicing this spell for a long time but had never mastered it. Today, she finally succeeded in releasing it.

Charlotte nodded slightly, with a hint of approval on her face.

The place where the two of them are now is really the Room of Requirement. A few days ago, Qiao Ya found Charlotte and wanted him to teach her how to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts. Charlotte just complained casually that it would be great if he could find the Room of Requirement.

He never expected that a big door would immediately appear in front of him, and behind the door was the House of Requests.

With the Room of Requirement, Charlotte will be able to do many things more easily in the future, such as developing new spells, refining some dangerous potions, etc.

Seeing that Qiao Ya had successfully mastered the Patronus Charm, Charlotte smiled and nodded and said:

"You have already learned this spell. You can summon your own patronus by practicing in many places. Now I will teach you a brand new spell. This spell is extremely powerful, so you must be careful when using it!"

After saying that, Charlotte took out his magic wand and said to a metal puppet not far away:

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"Dang~!"

As soon as Charlotte chanted the spell, the puppet was cut by a very sharp sword, leaving a very deep wound on its body.

Qiao Ya stared at the scene with wide eyes. She had also seen her mother use the Cutting Spell, but it was not so powerful. If this spell hit a person, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This is the Shadowless Spell, a very powerful black magic. Once the opponent is hit by this spell, the skin on the body will be like being cut by an invisible sword, and if the caster does not use a counter-spell to remove it, the wound will continue to bleed." Charlotte said.

"Although this is a very vicious black magic, in my heart, magic is neither good nor evil. Only the people who use it are good or evil."

Snape invented the Spell to defend himself against the long-term bullying by James Potter and Sirius Black, but until the end, he did not use this spell on James Potter.

Hearing this, Qiao Ya said, "Don't worry, I will definitely use this magic properly."

Charlotte believed that Qiao Ya could do what she said. During the few days of teaching Qiao Ya Defense Against the Dark Arts, he found that Qiao Ya mastered mental spells very quickly.

For example, she could basically perform the Confusion Spell, Fear Spell and other types of magic successfully at once, but not the others.

While Qiao Ya was practicing magic, Charlotte took out a fist-sized crystal ball, which he picked out from Antonio's collection when he was in Bulgaria.

Taking advantage of this gap, Charlotte prepared to practice divination.

Although Antonio told him at the time that even if he saw the future scenes, they might not be correct, he still couldn't help wanting to do some divination. Although he might not succeed every time, Charlotte always enjoyed verifying whether his predictions would come true.

When he stared at the crystal ball with full concentration, he soon saw a picture inside.

There were raging storms, lightning and thunder in the crystal ball, and the whole sky seemed to be collapsing. The entire Hogwarts was shrouded in torrential rain.

He predicted the future weather, but what surprised Charlotte was that it was only April, how could there be such a big storm?

When Charlotte thought of this, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

storm!?

Wasn't Hermione's potion waiting for this storm?

He quickly stopped Qiao Ya who was practicing magic and said anxiously:

975628841

"The storm is coming, we must find Hermione quickly, otherwise all her hard work will be in vain!"

Qiao Ya was stunned for a moment, then she understood in an instant that the last step of the Animagus transformation was to wait for the storm to come, then take out the potion and take it.

The two quickly left the Room of Requirement and finally found Hermione in the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione glanced at the brightly shining sky, looked at Charlotte with disbelief and said:

"Storm? There's not even a cloud in the sky, how could there be a storm? Are you sure you're predicting today's weather?"

Charlotte said, "Yes, although I am also surprised, but according to the prophecy, there will be a storm today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in through the window. At the same time, a thick cloud floated in the sky and blocked the sun. Under the influence of the strong wind, more thick dark clouds floated in from afar.

It looks like it's going to rain heavily.

Hermione looked at this scene and her eyes widened in surprise. The storm was really coming!

She threw down the book in her hand, turned around and ran outside. The potion for transformation into an Animagus must be placed in a quiet and dark place. If the potion is discovered by others or disturbed, it will lose its effectiveness.

Charlotte and Qiao Ya were also very curious about where Hermione's potion was.

They followed Hermione deep into the Forbidden Forest and stopped under a tall tree.

Hermione stood under the tree, looked up at the trunk of the tree, and whispered, "It's right here."

Charlotte looked carefully and found that there was a spot on the trunk of the tree whose color was slightly different. It seemed that Hermione had hidden the potion in a tree hole, which was a very suitable place.

This forbidden forest is the territory of the eight-eyed spiders. These spiders are very domineering. Apart from them, there are no other living creatures in this area, including a bird.

The eight-eyed spider prefers to live in burrows and will not climb trees to look for things.

Ordinary students and teachers from schools would not come here either. It must be said that Hermione is indeed smart.

At this time, the sky was already very gloomy. The thick dark clouds had covered the sky completely, and not a single ray of light could get through.

The strong wind blew down the crowns of the big trees above their heads, and a severe storm was about to come.

At this moment, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky, and then a deafening thunder exploded in the ears of the three people. Hermione took out her wand and lightly tapped the trunk of the tree.

The camouflage on the tree immediately fell off, and a small box floated out.

When she opened it, a bottle of blood-red potion appeared in front of her. Hermione's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Charlotte, I succeeded! 147 I really succeeded!"

Qiao Ya, who was standing aside, said:

"Now is not the time to be happy. You must find a safe and open place to take the potion, otherwise, all this will be in vain. Go to the Room of Requirement. It is absolutely safe there and you will not be disturbed by others!"

Charlotte nodded, and without paying any attention to Hermione's confused look, she pulled her and ran towards the castle.

It is a very dangerous thing for an Animagus to transform, because the body structure of humans is completely different from that of animals. Many Animagus who have just changed their form have had accidents or even lost their lives because they cannot adapt to their new bodies.

This is why Animagus are so rare in the wizarding world.

The difficulty of the process is secondary, the most important thing is the danger!

Along the way, Qiao Ya explained to Hermione the details and precautions that needed to be paid attention to during the first transformation, as well as how to return to human form after a successful transformation.

Charlotte was secretly shocked when she heard this. Fortunately, Qiao Ya, a serious Animagus, was present this time. If it were him, he would not have known that there were so many taboos.

In the Room of Requirement, Hermione took out her wand and pointed it at her heart under Qiao Ya's encouraging eyes, chanting the spell in a low voice: "Amado, Animaud, Animadou, Animagus..."

After finishing the spell, she exhaled softly and drank the blood-red potion in one gulp.

The next moment, Hermione's brows were tightly furrowed, a look of extreme pain appeared on her face, she covered her heart and collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, Qiao Ya encouraged softly:

"Hold on Hermione, this is the normal feeling when an Animagus transforms for the first time. You must control your fear and think of the animal you want to transform into. You will succeed in no time..."

With Qiao Ya's encouragement, Hermione slowly calmed down and slowly closed her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, her body began to shrink rapidly, and brown-red feathers began to appear on her body. Her two arms quickly began to transform into the shape of wings, and her feet began to turn into a pair of sharp claws.

The process was very quick, only a dozen seconds or so, and Hermione transformed from a little girl into a ferocious kestrel.

But one kestrel looked a little dazed. It turned its head to look around, then took a careful step. Unexpectedly, after taking this step, it couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground with a "thump".

Qiao Ya said softly: "This is normal. Every Animagus is like this when they transform for the first time. Aren't you the same?"

Charlotte smiled and said, "Of course I'm not, because I'm a cheater."

Chapter 62: Take off, Hogwarts Express!

About half an hour later, Hermione, who had transformed into a Kestrel, finally adapted to her current body.

But she still can't fly, and it will take her some time to practice to fully master this skill.

After returning to human form, Hermione seemed extremely excited. She grabbed Qiao Ya's wrist and kept saying:

"It's amazing! Qiao Ya, you saw it, I actually turned into a kestrel, my God!"

Qiao Ya nodded and said:

"You are indeed amazing. I really didn't expect you to succeed. You know, I only completed this spell when I was fourteen years old. I failed four times in total. One time was because I forgot to recite the spell at sunrise, resulting in the potion not taking effect when the storm came."

"What animal can you turn into?" Hermione asked curiously.

Qiao Ya didn't say anything, but directly turned into a palm-sized bat and flew in the air very flexibly.

At this time, Hermione looked at Charlotte and said:

"I remember you said at the time that as long as I became an Animagus, you would tell me what animal you could transform into. Now I have done it, what about you?"

Charlotte showed a helpless expression on his face and asked:

"Are you sure you want to see it?"

"Of course!"

After he finished speaking, Charlotte took a few steps back, and then his body began to change rapidly. A layer of golden feathers quickly grew out, and in just a few seconds, Charlotte turned into a majestic thunderbird.

Hermione was completely stunned.

She looked at the thunderbird in front of her, her whole face full of disbelief.

"This... this is... Thunderbird? Impossible..."

"Doesn't it feel incredible?" Qiao Ya changed into a human form and landed beside Hermione. "This is Charlotte's unique ability to transform into a magical creature!"

It took Hermione a while to come to terms with this.

She had thought it was a remarkable thing that she could become an Animagus at the age of eleven.

I didn't expect that compared with Charlotte, I was nothing.
