The years of welding at Hogwarts

But what grade is Noah in now?

Noah is a freshman who enrolled last year and has not even been studying for a full year, and Professor McGonagall said she could help him submit his paper to the editorial department of Transfiguration Today?

What the hell kind of monster is this?

This isn't the way to roll a roll, is it?

The students around him really couldn't feel jealous.

If the gap between them can be made up with a little effort, they might even feel jealous about it, and then work hard to make up the gap or even surpass their opponents.

But when they know that they are facing a cheating brother who they can never reach no matter how hard they try in their life, they will not even have the thought of catching up with him.

There won't even be jealousy.

They would just silently shout "666", "Brother, you are awesome. Don't forget me when you become rich."

At most, you can add an illusion that the person who submitted the paper is actually yourself, and then you will be so proud and excited when you stand on the podium, give a speech, and be interviewed by a reporter from the Daily Prophet.

Chapter 190 Our Dean! Can turn into a cat!

At night, in the office on the corridor on the second floor of the castle.

Professor McGonagall stared at the Polyjuice Potion in her hand and fell into deep thought.

As a researcher who had studied Transfiguration for many years and had great attainments in this field, she found it difficult to resist the opportunity to learn more about this fascinating subject.

But when I thought about the fact that after drinking this potion, I would have to spend eight long weeks in Hogwarts with a furry cat head before I could return to my normal human appearance.

Professor McGonagall hesitated.

So, should we drink it or not?

Drinking it will give you a chance to explore Transfiguration more deeply, but the price is social death among your colleagues.

But if he didn't drink it, he would miss the opportunity to study and learn multi-species transformation Animagus, which would be too regrettable and something Professor McGonagall could not tolerate.

After a long time, Professor McGonagall finally made up her mind.

The next morning, all the teachers and students in the school saw the brand new Professor McGonagall with a cat head.

Gryffindor! Courage supreme!

Our dean! He can turn into a cat!

Not only the cat head, Professor McGonagall's entire body is covered with a layer of silver and black cat fur, and a furry cat tail looks much more beautiful than Noah's drooping wolf tail.

The silver-white beard extended from his cheeks, trembling in the air sensitively.

I have to say that Professor McGonagall's new look is quite good-looking, provided that you ignore the look on her face that is so stinky that it can be used to pickle stinky tofu.

Dumbledore couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Professor McGonagall for the first time, but the five sharp claws that popped out from the palm of Professor McGonagall made him wisely choose to shut his mouth.

Although Dumbledore kept his mouth shut and the other professors sitting at the table also covered their mouths, Professor McGonagall, whose hearing had been greatly enhanced after turning into a cat, could still hear a few shrill "crusks" from time to time.

She shrugged helplessly, "Laugh if you want to, I will never retaliate later."

After hearing these words, the honest Lupin burst into laughter. However, after laughing for a while, he realized that there was only one person at the table who laughed out loud.

After laughing awkwardly twice, Lupin closed his mouth silently.

I was careless and took Professor McGonagall's words seriously. I don't know if she will retaliate or something afterwards...

Lupin suddenly felt a little guilty.

Madam Pomfrey covered her forehead helplessly. It would be fine if Noah was just an ignorant child, but why would Minerva, who was so grown up, experience the Polyjuice Potion with animal hair like a child?

One by one, it really makes her, the chief medical officer, worry.

……

The treatment lasted for eight weeks, or two months, which was an extremely long time.

each

Noah had to go to Madam Pomfrey every three days to receive transformation recovery treatment, and he could not go anywhere except staying in Hogwarts Castle.

No matter how worried he was about the threat posed by the combined forces of Voldemort and Dr. Lizard, there was nothing he could do except improve his own strength until Lucius found an opportunity for him to hack into the Floo Network and the Trace Network.

So, during these two months, Noah was finally able to concentrate on studying transfiguration.

Repeated self-transformation could weaken the effectiveness of the polyjuice potion to a certain extent, which allowed Noah to basically shed most of his wolf characteristics when his treatment was only halfway through.

In addition to improving his Transfiguration skills, Noah did not do nothing else.

As time stepped into March, Hogwarts Castle was hit by a rare storm.

It was the weekend, and with the extremely bad weather outside like dark clouds looming over the city, it should have been a great time to curl up comfortably in bed and sleep in.

But Noah, who had stayed up late the night before to practice cultivation and challenge his limits, had just laid down in his bed for less than half an hour when his door was violently knocked open.

A familiar hoarse voice sounded outside his bed.

"Noah the dog! Noah the dog! Get up!"

The golden pickled chicken feet stepped on the quilt, and the fat Scottish golden red turkey used its pair of chicken wings to slap Noah's quilt randomly, while shouting non-stop.

"It's going to be a storm today! And it's thundering!"

After hearing the news, Noah, who looked like he was about to die, suddenly perked up.

Since the Christmas holidays ended, Fox has been preparing for its Reverse Animagus.

There has never been a precedent in the history of magic where a magical animal has transformed into a human being. Even an experienced senior like Dumbledore has no experience in this area.

So, Fox's Animagus...

Basically, I was just making random preparations.

Learning and mastering Animagus is a rather long process. This complex transfiguration requires a lengthy preparation ceremony with ten stages.

Initially, the learner is required to hold a single leaf of the mandrake in the mouth continuously for an entire month, from one full moon to the next.

This step is undoubtedly the most difficult, because while holding the grass leaves in your mouth, there is a high possibility that the leaves will be swallowed due to actions such as eating or talking.

At this time, you can only wait until the full moon to start again.

Many wizards would be stuck at this step for months or even years because the Mandrake leaves in their mouths would always leave their mouths due to various accidents.

But this is not a problem for Fawkes. As the rarest phoenix among the many 5X-level magical creatures in the wizarding world, not talking or eating for a month is just a small problem.

As long as Fox can stand the loneliness.

If the learner can successfully survive the step of holding the mandrake leaf, the next step...

Sorry, it's still just as difficult.

When the moon is full, take out the leaves, fill a crystal bottle with your own saliva, and then soak the mandrake leaves in it, allowing it to receive the pure moonlight.

Add a hair to the moonlit crystal vial, and for Fox it would be a tail feather that fell off his body.

In addition to the hair, a silver teaspoon of dew is also needed. The dew must be collected from a place where there has been no sunlight and human contact for seven days, and finally a pupa of a hawk moth is added.

Bury the vial containing the mixture in a quiet, dark place and do not check or disturb it until the next thunderstorm.

While waiting for the storm to come, the student should point the tip of the wand over the heart at each sunrise and sunset and chant the incantation: "Amato Animo Animato Animagus."

Fawkes doesn't have a wand, but as a phoenix, casting spells without a wand is a piece of cake for him.

When a storm comes and lightning flashes across the sky, the Animagus potion in the crystal bottle will turn into a blood-red color.

This means that the mastery of Animagus has reached the final step.

As long as you find a safe enough place, drink the potion and repeat the previous operation of pointing the wand at your heart and chanting the spell, you can start the first transformation.

Even someone like Fawkes could easily complete the first step, and there were two big guys, Noah and Dumbledore, who prepared all the materials needed for the Animagus potion for him.

It took it three full months to complete this lengthy, complicated, and difficult transformation preparation ceremony.

But there is a problem: there has never been such a precedent in the wizarding world.

So Dumbledore and Noah didn't know whether this preparatory ritual, which was necessary for normal Animagus learners, would be equally effective for Fox.

But this is just a minor problem.

The characteristics of the Phoenix determined that even if Fox made random preparations and finally performed random Ani

Even if Magnus transforms, there won't be any serious consequences in the end.

After all, if the transformation failed and could not be reversed, a simple Avada Kedavra spell could be used to forcibly terminate the transformation process, allowing Fox to enter a state of nirvana and start over again.

In the wizarding world, there is no magical animal more suitable than the phoenix to experiment with some strange magic.

Chapter 191 Grandma touches you

Twenty minutes after Noah was forced to turn on his phone by Fawkes, Noah, Professor McGonagall, and Fawkes's real owner, Dumbledore, all gathered in the headmaster's office on the eighth floor of the castle.

Although he had some unpleasant things happen with his Phoenix partner some time ago, Dumbledore still seemed to take the first case of Reverse Animagus in the wizarding world very seriously.

A space had been cleared in the middle of the principal's office, and Fox squatted there, staring intently at the bottle in front of him.

At this moment, the potion inside had completely turned into the blood red color mentioned in the ritual, which was the finished product.

"Safely guarded, impregnable, armor protecting..."

No one knew what would happen if the magical creatures transformed into wizards through Animagus, so Dumbledore carefully placed layer upon layer of protective magic around Fawkes.

When layers of transparent barriers completely sealed Fawkes off, Dumbledore nodded to the Phoenix, which had become alienated from him and had learned to sow discord between him and Gellert.

"It's time to start."

Hearing the old bee's words, Fox picked up the glass bottle in front of him with his mouth without hesitation, tilted his neck back and poured all the potion in the bottle into his throat.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

These cries of the phoenix represent "Amado, Animó, Animado, Animagus" in the wizard language, which is another new innovation in this transformation process.

dong dong!

dong dong!

A dull sound like a war drum suddenly came from Fox's body. It was the sound of a second heartbeat from deep within the body, unique to Animagus beginners when they transform for the first time.

Under the nervous and expectant gaze of the three people, a layer of blood-red energy suddenly gushed out from deep within Fox's body, like a burning flame, enveloping his entire body.

The heat of this flame was far beyond the imagination of the three people in the room. The temperature it displayed was definitely far higher than the fierce fire known as the devil's flame.

Even though there were layers of barriers between them, the three people in the room felt the air in front of them begin to heat up, and the scene before them began to distort and deform under the burning flames.

Dumbledore had to increase his magical output to barely maintain the magical light barrier around Fawkes.

"Quick! Stop the transformation!"

This kind of phenomenon has never appeared among all the Animagus, Professor McGonagall immediately shouted nervously.

She drew out her wand and was about to send a terrifying green magic wave to Fawkes, but Noah and Dumbledore both chose to stop her.

"No, Fox is fine."

Noah completed the second half of Dumbledore's words, "It's okay for now."

The flames burning on Fox's body were slowly and steadily shrinking inwards, but the heat radiating showed no signs of decreasing.

About two minutes later, the burning blood-red flames shrank into the shape of a large cocoon, completely wrapping Fox's body.

At first, one could see occasional flickering wisps of flame on this blood-red cocoon, but as this outer shell made of flames gradually solidified into the shape of an eggshell, only the bright blood-red light emanated from the eggshell.

A ray of golden light bloomed in the blood-red egg, like a blood vessel, and began to spread gradually in the giant egg, slowly outlining the outline of a complete human vascular system.

Professor McGonagall's tone was a little surprised, "This is..."

Seeing this scene, Dumbledore slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "I think we should be considered successful."

“I just don’t know how long this process will take.”

Noah's words had just fallen when a crisp cracking sound came from the eggshell made of flames in front of the three people. That was the sound of the eggshell beginning to break.

Originally, Noah thought that Fox would need some time to break through this thin but extremely thick eggshell, but he did not expect that Fox would directly smash the entire eggshell to pieces with an extremely violent attitude.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's defensive magic that stopped the scattered eggshell fragments, the three people standing in the room would have turned into a hornet's nest by now.

An amorphous ball of golden-red light broke through the barrier and floated in the air.

The three people in the room looked at the ball of light floating in the air in confusion, with bewilderment in their eyes.

What is this?

Under the gaze of the three people, the ball of light without a fixed shape began to gradually extend in all directions, gradually outlining the outline of a human figure.
