The years of welding at Hogwarts

Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard Noah's words, "Animagus? Has your Transfiguration skill reached that level?"

Then she looked up at the magical roof of the Hogwarts Great Hall, which could synchronously display the starry sky and weather outside, but outside the castle there was only a dim moon and few stars.

"But it's not a stormy night now, is it?"

The transformation of Animagus requires the support of sufficiently advanced knowledge of Transfiguration, and also requires the completion of a complex ritual to create a potion that can assist Animagus.

Completing the Animagus transformation ritual also requires extremely harsh external environmental conditions, and the storm is an indispensable part of this ritual.

"I already have the Animagus. I mean the normal one."

As Noah finished speaking, his mouth gradually lengthened until it formed a protruding snout, and black and white hair quickly grew out from his body surface amid the surge of magic power.

The Hogwarts school uniform and hair on his body merged together, turning into a shiny fur coat covering Noah.

In less than two seconds, a husky with wise eyes and who looked like it was laughing wildly even when it just grinned suddenly appeared in front of Professor McGonagall.

Before Professor McGonagall could recover from her initial shock, the large purebred Husky quickly shrank in size to the size of a tabby cat in front of Professor McGonagall's extremely surprised eyes.

"This is..." Professor McGonagall's eyes widened.

Before she could finish her words, the petite body of the tabby cat squatting on the ground in front of her changed again.

The shiny cat fur was twisted and deformed into the shape of bird feathers. The two front limbs that were originally supporting the ground also turned into a pair of chicken wings folded at the sides of the body. The hind limbs were transformed into a pair of strong bird claws, flashing a creepy cold light under the candlelight.

The owl spread its wings and hooted at Professor McGonagall -

"Meow!"

Looking at the owl in front of her with a hoot on its body, the expression on Professor McGonagall's face immediately turned into a classic subway old man's cell phone face.

What the hell is this?

What the hell is this?

Noah, who was not very skilled at transformation, looked at the confused expression of the older cat girl, as if he had guessed something, and raised the chicken wings at his side to summon a water mirror in front of him.

Looking at the owl in the mirror, Noah scratched his head in embarrassment. He had never noticed it before.

In the future, he can also use Transfiguration to perform fusion transformation.

Since I can transform into a real "owl", can I...

The next second, his body changed again according to his thoughts.

However, this time the result was the opposite -

He went from being an owl with a hoot head to an owl with a hoot head.

That is, the head of an owl and the body of a cat.

In this river? This is not in the river!

The new species displayed in the water mirror once again made Noah feel deeply impressed. The transformation magic in this world could really be said to be a bug-level spell that was extremely idealistic.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a cat's body with an eagle's head grafted onto it to survive. Even Noah himself didn't know how to design it so that it could survive by connecting these two completely mismatched creatures together.

But the transformation magic he cast did not require him to know this at all. During the casting process, it automatically made up for this fatal flaw that he could not take into account, thus creating his current appearance.

What's the saying?

You just drive and Dad will do the rest!

In the idealistic magic system of this world, it can be replaced by: "You just cast the spell, and leave the rest to Aunt Rowling!"

Noah curiously stroked the bird's head on its neck with his cat's paw. Even Professor Flitwick in the distance couldn't help but come over, squatted down, and stared curiously at the new species in front of him.

"Is this your Animagus form?"

Even though Professor Flitwick had traveled far and wide to challenge famous duelists before coming to Hogwarts to teach, he still felt like there was something stuck in his throat that he couldn't spit out.

"No, Filius, this child is a genius in the field of Transfiguration."

The older cat girl recovered from the shock and pushed her glasses that had slipped off her nose. "This is just one of his many Animagus forms."

What the hell? What the hell did you just say?

Professor Flitwick, who had just walked over, did not witness the entire process of Noah turning into a husky and then into a cat because he was blocked by Professor McGonagall.

So he didn't know that Noah had completed several form changes before, and finally settled on such an outrageous form of opening the door in an outrageous way, which was extremely outrageous.

Chapter 287 Where Are We Going, Dad?

"When I completed the Animagus transformation, I did not follow the usual practice of holding a Mandrake leaf in my mouth and preparing a complicated potion, nor did I deliberately choose extreme weather when a storm was coming."

After returning from the form of an owl-headed cat to a human form, Noah spread his hands.

"After taking Polyjuice Potion several times to analyze the changes in my body in orc form, I felt that my Transfiguration skills had reached a level that was sufficient to support me in completing the Animagus transformation, so I just tried it."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were no longer the only ones standing next to Noah.

Even Lupin, the werewolf who could barely be considered a magical Animagus, came over and listened in embarrassment to the extremely outrageous remarks made by the little wizard in front of him.

What does it mean to take polyjuice decoction multiple times and analyze the changes that occur in the body in orc form?

What does it mean to feel that your Transfiguration skills are good enough to complete the Animagus?

Do you think this is human language?

Thinking back to the hard work and effort he put in to complete the Animagus transformation during his student days, as well as the repeated failures of holding a mandrake leaf in his mouth, Lupin felt that sometimes the gap between people was even greater than that between people and dogs.

Professor McGonagall naturally believed Noah's words.

The level of transformation of this child in front of him had been improved little by little as he watched it happen with his own eyes.

During the Christmas holidays eight or nine months ago, the child was just a Transfiguration novice who couldn't transform between living creatures.

But after Christmas, with the help of a bottle of Polyjuice Potion he got from Snape, he mastered the transformation of multiple species that even many masters of Transfiguration could not master.

Although the scope of this multi-species transformation is limited to certain parts of the body and cannot cover the entire body.

If it covers the entire body, it will be a complete Animagus.

"Then you just said that you planned to complete the Animagus transformation. What does that mean?"

Noah calmly spread out his palms and took out an extra-large flask with a capacity of at least 200mL from his storage space. It was filled with blood that was deep red with a hint of golden yellow, as if there was a flame burning on it.

When the bottle of blood appeared in front of them, Flitwick, McGonagall and Lupin all looked stunned.

Due to the scarcity of the phoenix, the blood of the phoenix has always been the most precious magical material in the magical world, whether for potions or alchemy.

The blood of the phoenix contains extremely huge magical power. Even if it is taken directly without any processing, it can bring great benefits to the user.

This includes but is not limited to the direct enhancement of physical strength and magic power. The magic power that originally had no obvious attributes will also be given a hint of the fiery fire of the phoenix under the influence of phoenix blood, making it

The power of magic has increased significantly.

Therefore, the blood of the phoenix is ​​basically in short supply in the magic world, and is even more precious than the elixir of life.

Even if one waved tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of gold galleons to buy in the market, with extremely good luck, at most one could only buy a dozen milliliters of phoenix blood.

If the price of this thing is measured by weight, I wonder how many times more expensive it is than gold.

Of course, it is still inferior to some eyebrow pencil brands.

Look at how much Noah, the big dog owner, spent?

A full two hundred milliliters!

A full bottle!

Even if you, Lord Shafulin, have a good relationship with Fox, you shouldn't pluck the feathers of the phoenix like this, right?

Fortunately, Snape was not here, otherwise this old bat would have gone red-eyed when seeing the potion materials stored in the Lestrange family treasury, and transformed into the greedy goblin Gollum in The Lord of the Rings.

Snape, who regarded potion ingredients as his second life, second only to Lily and Shirley in importance, could calmly look at so much phoenix blood in front of him and remain indifferent?

He would definitely draw his wand, thinking about where to strike Noah and then take the blood for himself.

Seeing the shocked expressions of Professor McGonagall and the others, Noah silently took out the second bottle of Phoenix blood from his pocket, and then the third, fourth, and fifth bottles...

It was not until twenty bottles of more than 4000mL of Phoenix blood were placed in front of the professors that Noah stopped taking out the blood bottles and quietly looked at the three stunned and speechless professors in front of him.

What the hell?

What the fuck is this?

When did Phoenix blood become available for wholesale?

Noah spoke slowly but firmly in a slow and measured tone, "I plan to try the magic Animagus."

His idea, which was considered a fantasy in the field of Transfiguration in the current wizarding world, was not refuted by the two masters of Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall and Professor Lupin.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath to calm her shock, then looked at Noah seriously and said:

"I want to hear your thoughts."

She no longer treated Noah as a junior who needed her guidance, but communicated with Noah in an equal tone, which meant that she recognized Noah's attainments in Transfiguration and even admitted that Noah's research in certain sub-fields of Transfiguration had surpassed her.

"I collected Fox's blood and integrated it with my own genes to cultivate this blood."

It is a fact recognized by the wizarding world that wizards' magical powers are contained in their blood.

But the relationship between blood and magic is more than just simple inclusion and being included.

When a wizard's blood is drained, he becomes a walking corpse, or a corpse, but the magic power originally contained in his body will not be completely lost.

Direct bloodletting can only collect a very thin portion of the magic power in the wizard's body.

That's because the wizard's magic power is not only stored in the blood, but also hidden deep in their muscles, nerves, bones, every cell, and even their soul.

Based on this fact, even if Fox's blood was drained, the magic power contained in the phoenix blood that Noah could obtain would be less than one-tenth of Fox's huge magic power.

When the potion masters of this world brew potions that require the blood of magical animals as a raw material, the more pure energy contained in the blood as a raw material, the better.

They have a special method for extracting blood from animals.

Through some special methods, the magic power of the magical creatures is in a boiling state.

Just like the sacrifice of soul beasts in the next studio, the soul power contained in all the cells in the body and even their souls are all shrunk into an object of trust, such as the soul ring of a soul master.

This is the essence that can be squeezed out of a magical animal.

Of course, Noah couldn't sacrifice Fox like a certain scumbag and make him his own, uh...

The source of power for soul masters is called soul ring, so should that of magicians be called magic ring?

He simply bribed Fox with a few sumptuous meals to get this greedy fat turkey to cooperate with him and provide more magic power to the blood he drew during the blood drawing process.

This is what is called the Phoenix Blood Essence.

Let Fox cooperate actively. The concentration of magic contained in the blood he collected is more than ten times that of blood directly extracted.

For the phoenix, which has tremendous vitality and is almost immortal, this can be made up for by eating a few more meals.

Of course, even though Phoenix’s blood-making ability is very strong, Noah’s bottom line can be said to be equal to no bottom line.

But he was not so cruel as to draw 4000mL of blood from someone without considering the consequences.

Using the 100mL of blood he initially extracted from Fox as raw material, Noah, with the help of Gwen, integrated his own genes into Fox's blood, and then replicated it in large quantities, thus obtaining the twenty bottles of fused blood in front of them now, which together are enough to replace Noah's entire blood.

The genetic fusion of multiple species is not a difficult task for Gwen, even if both parties are magical creatures.

If Peter Parker can do it, there is no way Gwen can't do it.

"I plan to replace all the blood in my body."

Noah's words were earth-shattering. "I have deconstructed Fox's body in phoenix form many times."

For fear of being misunderstood, Noah emphasized the word "Phoenix form" when he said this. He really had no improper thoughts about the phoenix.

At least before his childish body completes its development, he has no unreasonable desires.

He has the evil intention and the courage to commit a crime, but he doesn't have strong action ability yet. Optimus Prime, who has not yet developed into a true Autobot leader, is unable to deal with Megatron for the time being.

"After completing the blood exchange operation, I plan to use Fox's body structure as the transformation object to complete the Animagus transformation."

……

The magical version of Animagus is indeed a very daring research topic. Looking at the entire magical world, it may be regarded as an unprecedented feat.

It is possible that the legendary wizards of ancient times, such as Merlin, the Big Four of Hogwarts, and the despicable Hercule, had performed such a transformation magic, but it was not recorded in the history of magic.

Many important details have been omitted in the historical books that have been passed down for thousands of years.

As magic civilization declines today, these missed details are an invaluable treasure, but today's wizards are no longer able to reproduce the glorious era of magic.

"I'm afraid I can't give you much help in this research."
