The years of welding at Hogwarts

Looking at the furry paws that were almost touching his mouth and Noah's protruding muzzle, Snape felt a headache.

What kind of train of thought is this? You call this fun?

Chapter 188 Kobold

In Snape's office, Noah looked at his new image in front of a water mirror made of clear spring water.

After the initial excitement of the novel experience, Noah now felt that the image in the mirror was...

Why does it look more and more like a fusion of Zhang Han and Doge?

And it’s the Husky version!

Damn, he shouldn't have chosen the wolf, an animal that is a close relative of the Husky, as his transformation object. Now the more Noah looks at it, the more he regrets it.

Fortunately, he still remembered that he planned to use the Polyjuice Potion to help himself control the Animagus, instead of spending the rest of his life as a humanoid Husky.

Although this horrible appearance is a little ugly, it will only last for a week at most.

He carefully recalled the changes that occurred in his body when he took the Polyjuice Potion, even though Professor McGonagall had demonstrated the transformation of living things to Noah many times before.

But he had never felt the complete transformation process of a living creature so intuitively as he did now.

Going deep into the details of the transformation at the cellular level, the operating principle of magic in this transformation process, and how magic acts on different cells to clearly determine the ultimate goal of transformation...

All of this, no matter how many times someone else demonstrates it, will not be as effective as experiencing it yourself.

After standing still for a long time with his eyes closed, Noah slowly opened his eyes and raised one of his arms that had turned into a dog's paw.

In Snape's slightly surprised gaze, Noah's arm was covered with dog hair, no, wolf hair.

The lush hair on Noah's arms seemed to have shrunk and fell off his body in large chunks, revealing the skin hidden under the hair, which was gradually transforming back into that of a normal human.

And his fingers, which had originally turned into wolf claws, also began to transform and transform into their original human form.

Even though Snape was not good at Transfiguration, he could see that this was an effect that could only be achieved after a wizard practicing Animagus had mastered this advanced art of Transfiguration to a certain degree.

Being able to achieve this step means that the wizard is not far from truly mastering Animagus.

After all, the most difficult step for an Animagus is how to transform himself back to his original human appearance while in the form of an animal, rather than having his brain completely occupied by the thinking of the transformed animal.

Noah's arm quickly transformed back to that of a normal human.

He put his arms together. One arm was covered with coarse wolf hair, while the other was only covered with a layer of light sweat hair, which looked very inconsistent.

But this doesn't look like

How long can it last.

As soon as the magic power was removed, the coarse wolf hair stubbornly grew out of Noah's arm again. Even the five fingers that had finally turned back into fingers were twisted again and transformed into the shape of wolf claws.

Noah raised an eyebrow and tried again.

The result was as expected. Once he removed the magic power that maintained the transformation, his body would turn back into its original dog-headed man appearance and would be completely unable to return to normal.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Noah raised a finger in front of his protruding wolf mouth to signal the old bat not to speak, "I am just repeating the process of cell transformation."

Seeing that Noah didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, Snape, who had been a little nervous, relaxed at this time.

"almost."

After trying to transform every part of his body back to its original human form and remembering the feeling of each change firmly in his mind, Noah stopped the repeated transformation experience.

He rubbed his wolf mouth that was ten centimeters higher than his face, "This experience is really novel. I hope I won't stick the fork into my nose when I eat tonight.

Before leaving Snape's office, Noah paused to pull the door handle again.

"Well, Old Si, I think you need to accompany me to the school infirmary."

He spread his hands helplessly, "Or else, with my current condition, if I'm lucky enough, I can sneak into the school infirmary without being discovered by anyone."

"If I'm unlucky, I'll run into Dumbledore when I go out, and be mistaken for a werewolf who sneaked into Hogwarts to commit a crime and shot dead on the spot. I'll be miserable."

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched slightly. What Noah said was indeed very likely to happen.

……

It would take much longer than Noah expected to completely eliminate the effects of the polyjuice that had been added with the "wrong ingredients" from his body.

In the school infirmary, Madam Pomfrey was busy for a long time just preparing the corresponding healing potions. In the meantime, she even took the time to scold Snape, the unqualified potions instructor, like a grandson.

Even with the internal medicine and external antidote, the wolf characteristics on Noah's body only became slightly less obvious.

For example, his five toes, which were no different from wolf feet and were completely close together and impossible to grab things, finally showed the appearance of a primate.

Although it is still covered in wolf hair, its nails are sharp like those of Wolverine's brother, the sabertooth tiger.

But at least tonight, Noah could hold the cutlery with his fingers instead of having to use both hands to hold the bowl with great difficulty.

But his protruding muzzle could not retract and still stood stubbornly on his face.

Seeing Noah, who had tortured herself into such a state, although Madam Pomfrey was very angry, her qualities as a doctor still allowed her to remain gentle to her patients.

"Mr. Shafrin, I think you should continue to stay here for a while until you are fully recovered."

"No, Madam Pomfrey, didn't you say that I just need to come back for treatment regularly?"

"And don't you think it's cool to look like this?"

Noah's last sentence made Madam Pomfrey completely confused.

Originally, she thought that if Noah showed himself in such an image, it might cause trauma to the fragile heart of this young wizard.

After all, the strange looks from classmates and the pointing and talking behind my back, people couldn't stop talking about it...

All of these may cause stress to the child.

If possible, she still suggested that the child stay, at least until the facial hair fades away before being discharged from the hospital.

But I didn't expect this kid to have such a big heart. Since he thinks it has no impact on him and it's very cool, then let him be.

With a casual wave of her hand, Madam Pomfrey shooed the suicidal little wizard out of the school infirmary like shooing away a fly.

Chapter 189 The Big Cat About to Transform

When Noah decided not to be hospitalized, but instead appeared in the Hogwarts Great Hall in this terrifying half-werewolf image, it still caused panic among many students who did not know the truth.

However, the professors all looked as if they were used to it.

As early as when Snape took Noah to the school infirmary for treatment, Snape had already used the Patronus Charm to inform other professors in the castle of what Noah had done.

Gemma Farley, who was sitting next to Noah, looked at the big wolf tail sticking out from under Noah's wizard robe, and couldn't help but want to touch it.

But every time she made the slightest movement, she would receive a death gaze warning from Noah.

It has to be said that Noah's wolf eyes flashing with cold-blooded light under the candlelight are still very intimidating, and every time Gemma retracts her dirty hands in disappointment.

"Nice new look, Mr. Shafrin."

As she passed by the Slytherin table, even the usually serious Professor McGonagall found it difficult to control her laughter, and the older cat girl's tightly pursed lips couldn't help but rise.

"You know, Professor McGonagall, Animagus is still a

too difficult. "

Noah shrugged his shoulders. His half-werewolf appearance looked hilarious. "In order to master the transformation between living creatures as soon as possible, I came up with this method to assist me in my studies."

Hearing Noah's words, the half-smile on the older cat girl's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a serious look, "Did you drink the Polyjuice Potion with animal hair added just to learn Animagus?"

"You see, this works really well."

Noah raised his hand, and the magic power gathered in his hand began to deform his hand according to his thoughts. The nails on the front of his fingers, which were already extremely sharp, began to grow wildly at this moment.

Soon, the nails on Noah's hands, which were only three or four centimeters long, turned into another hideous appearance.

The twenty-centimeter-long, inward-curved nails were covered with a thick layer of bone. The eerie edges of the bones gleamed coldly under the candlelight from the ceiling.

But the next second, as Noah's intention was cancelled, the big bone claws on his hand that looked like Belia Ultraman retracted.

Under Professor McGonagall's gaze, his wolf claws transformed into normal human hands, and then into raptor wings with avian feathers.

The students around were shocked as they saw Noah's brown bear forelimbs expand from chicken wings to thigh thickness, and then return to their previous wolf paws under the effect of the polyjuice potion after losing the magical power.

Not only were they shocked by Noah's Transfiguration, even Professor McGonagall was greatly shocked by Noah's progress in Transfiguration.

Her eyes were full of surprise.

Some time ago, when Noah asked her for advice on Transfiguration, he was just an apprentice of Transfiguration who had not even stepped into the door of transformation of living creatures.

That's right, apprentice.

The real advanced transfiguration begins with the transformation of living creatures. All transfiguration before that can be classified as low-level transfiguration.

Only when a wizard has mastered the transformation between living creatures can he be said to have made great progress in the field of Transfiguration.

And Noah, who was just an apprentice who hadn't even touched the threshold some time ago, is now able to flexibly transform his body.

And it's not just the transformation of a single species, but the freedom to switch back and forth between multiple animals.

Although it is not a complete Animagus, the transformation of just one arm can be regarded as an extremely amazing performance.

Even many Transfiguration masters who have mastered the Animagus cannot perform such operations. They can only switch between the animals they are most familiar with, that is, their Animagus image and human image.

"What an amazing Transfiguration! Is this the result of your taking Polyjuice Potion?"

Noah nodded. "It's just that it's not that easy to ignore the pain caused by the polyjuice potion and clearly record the complete conversion process after the potion takes effect."

Professor McGonagall's brain began to work rapidly at this moment. She had never imagined that Polyjuice Potion, a potion that could help the human body transform, could also have this kind of function.

"But if this process can be recorded, it will be of great help to students of Transfiguration in experiencing the transformation between living things, right?"

As she spoke, the older cat girl sat down directly at the dining table. Professor McGonagall, who had entered concentration mode, completely ignored the fact that she was the head of Gryffindor and this was the Slytherin table.

Of course, the professor can sit wherever he wants, and there is absolutely no problem with that.

Noah affirmed Professor McGonagall's statement, "And during this process, I also made some strange discoveries about cell transformation."

"If we can grasp this little bit of inspiration, perhaps we can solve the problem that wizards can only transform into the same animal after mastering the Animagus."

Animagus in multiple animal forms?

When Professor McGonagall heard Noah raise this possibility, her eyes became brighter, and she looked at Noah as if he was looking at some rare treasure in the field of Transfiguration.

"Like you just did?"

"Yes, just like that." Having said this, Noah seemed to suddenly remember something.

He reached into his pocket and fumbled around for a while, then pulled out a small glass bottle and handed it to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor, I have some Polyjuice Potion here. With your attainments in Transfiguration, perhaps you will have a deeper understanding than me after experiencing it yourself."

Professor McGonagall, who was still thinking about the multi-species Animagus in her mind, subconsciously took the potion, uncorked the bottle and was about to pour the potion into her mouth.

Fortunately, the touch of the bottle mouth touching her lips brought Professor McGonagall back to reality.

Who is she? What is she going to do?

Looking at the Polyjuice Potion that appeared in her hand at some point, Professor McGonagall's face twitched slightly.

It was a close call, I almost drank this stuff.

You can't be angry with Noah. After all, the kid didn't do it on purpose.

Professor McGonagall calmly put away the bottle in her hand and said, "Maybe next time."

"

Once you have figured out the idea of ​​multi-species metamorphosis, you can write me a paper based on your experience after taking the polyjuice potion this time, and I can help you submit it to Metamorphosis Today. "

Noah felt a little regretful that he couldn't see Professor McGonagall really transform into an older cat girl, but then he came to his senses.

Transfiguration today?

The young Muggle wizards in the lower grades around Noah might not understand what this concept is, but if an example is given, it would be able to help those Muggle-born wizards understand it.

"Nature" and "Science" are the two top academic journals in the Muggle scientific community.

The most authoritative journal in the field of life sciences is Cell, and in the medical field it is The Lancet.

The status of "Transfiguration Today" in the magical world, or more precisely in the field of Transfiguration, is just like the status of these journals in their corresponding fields.

They are the most authoritative and top-notch existences.

Those who can publish papers there are all experts in this field.

If a Transfiguration master like Professor McGonagall published a paper in Transfiguration Today, the students of Hogwarts would probably sigh, "Professor McGonagall is awesome."
