Chapter 184 Practicing Animagus

"Sorry, Professor McGonagall, it seems I'm a little late." Ivan closed the door and said apologetically.

"No, I just arrived not long ago." The tabby cat opened its mouth, uttered human words, and then jumped to the ground with a light jump.

The figure continued to expand and expand in mid-air, and within a second or two, it transformed into a middle-aged witch with square glasses and dark green robes. That was Professor McGonagall.

Ivan's eyes grew hot when he saw it. This ability to switch between two forms at will without a wand or a spell, no matter how many times he saw it, Ivan found it very magical.

"So, before we officially start studying, I have to ask a question, how much do you know about the Animagus?" Professor McGonagall adjusted her square glasses, walked back to the lecture table and asked aloud.

Ivan thought for a while, and then said solemnly.

“Animagus is an advanced form of transformation that wizards use on themselves.

Once you become proficient, you don’t need to recite a spell or use a magic wand. The function of magic is to transform yourself into some kind of animal. It is mostly used to detect or avoid danger. Few people will be wary of an ordinary creature.

There are some risks associated with the initial conversion process, so in addition to talent and perseverance, Animagus practice usually requires a little luck."

Ivan recalled the description of Animagus in the original book and talked about it based on the information he had reviewed last school year.

Professor McGonagall's expression became more and more satisfied, which meant that Ivan's decision to practice Animagus was not a decision made in a flash, but rather prepared and consulted a large amount of information.

After Ivan finished explaining his understanding, Professor McGonagall continued to add.

"That's a good point, but you missed a few things! The first Animagus transformation is usually limited to ordinary creatures, and turning into magical creatures will bring unpredictable consequences.

Secondly, this kind of transformation technique needs to be reported to the Ministry of Magic after being mastered. Since the 20th century, there have been only seven registered Animagus so far! So Animagus transformation is not only dangerous, but extremely dangerous! "

Having said this, Professor McGonagall glanced at Ivan, hoping that he would understand the danger, and then continued. "Of course, the danger is not constant. The higher your level of transformation, the lower the risk of corresponding transformation."

Ivan didn't care about the risk of deformation mentioned by Mag. He was still somewhat confident in his level of deformation. Moreover, he also had a temporary BUFF like the Academic Master Experience Card, which should not cause him to overturn.

But what Professor McGonagall said about reporting this matter to the Ministry of Magic put Ivan in trouble.

Ivan had a grimace on his face. He didn't want his Animagus transformation to be known to everyone. In that case, the value of this magic would be greatly reduced.

Can I not report it?

Ivan quietly asked with a look, but Professor McGonagall just pretended not to see him and ignored him.

Ivan is not discouraged. Professor McGonagall doesn't say anything, which to a large extent means that he will not interfere. Therefore, the matter of registration should be entirely up to him.

While Ivan was thinking about things, Professor McGonagall had already carefully introduced to him the difficulties of Animagus cultivation. Ivan quickly put his mind in order and listened attentively to every step.

Animagus training is extremely cumbersome. The first step is to hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth for a whole month.

It must go from one full moon to another, and the leaves cannot leave the mouth in the middle, otherwise it will start again.

After a month, you can use this leaf to make tedious potions. Finally, bury the potion in a place that will not be disturbed at all and does not come into contact with the sun. When a storm with thunder and lightning comes, take it out.

If the potion taken out turns completely blood red, it means that all the steps are correct. At that time, drinking the potion can start the first Animagus transformation.

Listening to the steps of practice, Ivan frowned. This is too troublesome.

He thought that Animagus transformation only required a high level of Transformation Spell to practice it.

"Professor McGonagall, is it necessary to make potions?" Ivan couldn't help but ask.

The other steps are a little more complicated and can be solved, but it is more difficult to bury the potion in a place to wait for the storm. Who knows when a storm will come nearby?

It's better to go abroad and find a storm-prone place to bury the magic potion, right?

"Not really." Professor McGonagall shook her head, but before Ivan could be happy, he continued.

"But this can greatly reduce the difficulty and danger of practice. Unless you are confident that you have the transformation skills like Principal Albus, otherwise, you'd better follow the steps honestly!"

Professor McGonagall waved her wand in the air, and the radiance of magic flowed in the air, slowly turning into several half-human and half-monster creatures, with distorted shapes and painful expressions.

"These are the wizards who have failed to transform. So far, there is no way to restore the wizards who failed to transform." Professor McGonagall said very seriously, not joking at all, and warned Ivan that he did not want to be like this. , it is best not to mess around in private.

Ivan had no choice but to give up his previously unrealistic thoughts. He was not confident that his transformation skills were comparable to Dumbledore, even with the blessing of the experience card.

At this time, Mag placed a piece of emerald green leaf in front of Ivan.

"These are the leaves of mandrake. You should be lucky that your Professor Sprout recently introduced a batch of mandrake, which saved a lot of trouble."

"As for the specific timing of practice, it is up to you." After saying this, Professor McGonagall paused and then said with a smile. "Perhaps you can look at the Muggle weather forecast then and choose a suitable day to start."

Ivan was still surprised that you also knew the Muggle weather forecast. It seemed that McGonagall, who often went to and from the Muggle world to recruit students, didn't know anything about life there.

However, Ivan didn't want to wait foolishly for the opportunity. God knows how long it would take to wait for a storm. If he couldn't wait for several years, wouldn't his work be in vain?

Ivan thought that the Room of Requirement might be able to create a setting in which to practice animagus transformation.

After Ivan took the mandrake leaves, Professor McGonagall handed over a practice notebook.

Opening the note and flipping through it, Ivan found that it was full of insights into practicing Animagus transformation. It was written in great detail, with some dangerous points highlighted. It was obviously Professor McGonagall these days. compiled
