I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Snape's words made Harry's ears prick up.

"Have you ever wondered how he got in, Professor?" Snape suddenly asked.

"You have many ideas, Severus, but none of them stands up to scrutiny." Dumbledore glanced at Snape.

Snape leaned to the side and whispered meaningfully, "Do you remember our conversation, Headmaster? It was just before... just before school started."

"Remember, Severus," said Dumbledore, with something like a warning in his voice.

"It seems impossible for Blake to break into the school without help."

Snape drawled, "I expressed my concern when you..."

"I don't believe there is anyone in this castle who could help Black break in." Dumbledore concluded, and he stopped talking.

Knowing he could not sway Dumbledore, Snape stopped talking.

"I must go down and look for the Dementors," said Dumbledore. "I said I would inform them when we had finished our search."

In addition to guarding against Sirius, it is more important to gather the students together to protect them from being encountered by Dementors.

Several Dementors have disappeared these days. The Ministry of Magic and the Dementors are very eager to come in and search. If possible, Dumbledore really doesn't want to let them in.

After hearing these words, the three children were no longer sleepy, but John was still sleeping soundly.

...

Chapter 129: Fate Back on Track and Preparation for Transformation

The Dementors entered the castle to search. The cold and gloomy feeling was suffocating and the young wizards could not sleep well.

When two hours were up, John's eyes, which had been closed, opened exactly as expected.

"Tom doesn't seem to be back."

The first thing John thought of after waking up was that his dog was not in the dormitory.

He glanced calmly at the three little ones around him, and they didn't seem to notice that John had woken up.

John pressed his palms on the ground and silently chanted the supersensory spell in his mind.

An invisible wave spread out with him as the center.

Now, he can control the super-sensory spell with a range of more than 300 meters.

"The Dementors are coming in?"

John murmured to himself, not expecting Dumbledore to let the Dementors in.

As long as the animals do not encounter Dementors head-on, they will not be harmed.

Tom shouldn't be that stupid.

John, who had had enough sleep, was full of energy. Normally, he would start doing experiments at this time, but now he couldn't leave.

"Forget it, let's just read a book."

Fortunately, John had the habit of carrying a small handbag with him, and he took out a book about transformation from the bag and started reading.

Anyway, he can see in the dark without turning on the lights.

The brainstorming session of the three kids finally ended. Harry tilted his head and vaguely saw John seemed to be looking through something.

He wanted to see clearly, but unfortunately he didn't have John's night vision.

One night passed and the Dementors left the castle.

They didn't find Sirius, and the little wizards went wild.

Their talk focused on Sirius Black and how that evil man had entered the school.

Hannah Abbott told everyone that Sirius had been transformed into a flowering bush.

Gryffindor's portrait was temporarily replaced by Sir Cadogan, which caused trouble for Gryffindor students.

Because Sir Cadogan liked to change the slogan to something weird.

When John came back from washing up, he passed by the girls' bathroom and saw Peeves bullying Myrtle.

Myrtle cried and Peeves laughed.

His expression changed, and John shouted to Peeves, "Peeves, come here."

Peeves' smile froze when he heard that, and he flew over reluctantly.

"Dear John Wick, what can I do for you?"

With an ugly smile, Peeves was completely different from his usual appearance.

It's not Peeves' fault. Myrtle once showed off her hairpin to the ghosts, which made Peeves unhappy, so he found John and wanted to get it too.

As a result, he was caught and locked up by John to test the ghost spell.

This makes John the number one person that Peeves fears the most, with even the Bloody Baron ranking second.

John didn't care how Peeves cursed him in his heart. He pretended to be curious and asked, "The Fat Lady was attacked. What do you know?"

Peeves was a restless fellow. He bent down and stuck his head out from between his legs. He said with a grin, "Of course I know. His temper is really scary, that Sirius Black."

"What did you see him like?" John stared at Peeves.

After studying Dementors for so long, John knew that Dementors would only suck the souls of coherent creatures.

Similar to between animals, it cannot understand the emotions of animals and will not attack them.

This reminded John of something else. In the magical world, there happened to be a kind of person who could transform into an animal.

Animagus.

This is an advanced form of transfiguration that can completely transform a person into an animal, possessing both the characteristics of an animal and the wisdom of a wizard.

Peeves said, "Black, you don't know how scary he is. He's like a bear."

Black? Like a bear?

John raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he guessed right.

Peeves waved his hand and was about to leave as if he had been pardoned, but John stopped him.

"Peeves, what did you want me to give you last time?"

Peeves was startled with a playful smile, and John shrugged and said, "You helped me, so I'll help you."

"Great, I'd love to call you sir if you'd give me some of those big turd eggs."

"Okay." John agreed immediately.

But he also said: "I would like to state in advance that you cannot use it in class, but you can use it at other times."

Peeves chuckled and moved quickly, "Of course, Mr. John Wick."

Seeing him so happy, John shook his head, thinking that many people would be in trouble again.

As for the big dung balls, you can just ask the twins for them.

The Weasley twins opened an owl post at Hogwarts, using Hogwarts' owls to deliver props to the little wizards who placed orders.

John wrote a letter and asked Basil to deliver it, and the goods would be received by the evening.

Today is Monday, another busy day.

In the afternoon, during Care of Magical Creatures class, John saw the Hippogriff again.

Upon asking, I found out that Hagrid's restless heart was beginning to become restless again.

He thought it was pitiful that no other students were allowed to ride Hippogriffs in the first period.

John held his forehead helplessly, and he had to say, "Professor Hagrid, I have to take a leave of absence today, so I can't help you take care of the class."

Hagrid was surprised and asked, "You want to ask for leave? Are you not feeling well?"

"That's not the case, just some personal matters." John said, and he actually wanted to transform.

Yes, transformation.

Animagus.

Transfiguration has reached level 4, and John is ready to perform the Animagus transformation.

This process takes a long time, from one full moon to another.

And during this period of time, John could not speak. He needed to keep the mandrake leaves in his mouth and could not take the mandrake out of his mouth at any time.

John needed to prepare the materials, he had a feeling he needed to get started.

Hagrid naturally would not refuse John's request for leave.

Moreover, Hagrid was confident that even if John left, he could still control the situation well.

After two months of classes, Hagrid became more confident.

After saying hello to Hagrid, John left.

"John left?"

Harry noticed this scene, and Ron was surprised and said, "Is it because the workload is too heavy that you don't plan to take this course?"

Hermione glared at him angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you want to leave, leave Divination class."

That being said, Hermione knew that John was indeed very tired during this period.

Unlike himself, Hermione had a time-turner and could use other time to attend classes, but John really finished all his classes by himself.

Hermione had a strange feeling and wondered why the school didn't give John a time-turner, or was there only one time-turner?

Hermione was in a bad mood, and felt as if she had taken something away from John.

In her opinion, John was clearly better, but he didn't get any help.

Hagrid came out again, leading the Hippogriff, and Harry saw Buckbeak, the one he had ridden last time.

Just then, an overly curious little wizard approached Buckbeak.

Buckbeak knocked the tactless little wizard to the ground with one claw.

Bow to me.

There was a scream, and Hagrid's mind was buzzing, not expecting something to happen.

Picking up the unfortunate little wizard, he hurriedly ended the class and headed to the school hospital.

Everything is back on track.

...

John went to Professor Sprout to get the mandrake leaves. By observing the weather, he felt that it would be a full moon in a week and he needed to start at that time.

There are more Animagus materials than these. John also needs a chrysalis of a ghost-faced hawk moth on the second full moon.

After everything is ready, it’s time to wait, wait for the storm to come.

When lightning from a storm split the sky, he truly began to transform.

"It's really troublesome. There's a reason why there are so few capable people."

John found all these transformation steps troublesome.

In order to transform successfully, in addition to perseverance and talent, luck is also needed.

Due to various factors, any mistake in any step will make all previous efforts go to waste.

In fact, it would be better if there was a senior Animagus to help. Professor McGonagall is a good choice.

Even if he is not a student of this school, Professor McGonagall would not refuse his request.

But John didn't want to seek Professor McGonagall's help, he knew his transformation would be very special.

If I turned into a dragon in front of Professor McGonagall, I guess she would be scared silly.

It is a well-known fact that Animagus cannot transform into magical creatures.

John has this special form because he drank magic blood, so naturally the fewer people who know about it, the better.
