Chapter 185 Does He Know...
Chapter 185 Does he know?
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall!" Ivan bowed.
Professor McGonagall reservedly said that she was just doing what a transfiguration professor should do.
"In short, you can make some preparations this semester and wait for the opportunity to come. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time." Professor McGonagall said.
Ivan took a mandrake leaf and a notebook of Animagus training and walked out of the Transfiguration classroom. He did not go back to the dormitory directly, but walked towards the Room of Requirement.
I need a place suitable for Animagus practice
Ivan thought silently in his heart that this time the door to the destination did not open immediately, but appeared slowly after waiting for a while.
Ivan pushed the door open and entered, only to find that there was an open area inside, surrounded by darkness, and he could barely see clearly that it was a forest.
Stepping on the soft soil under his feet, Ivan almost thought he was somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, but it was extremely quiet here, and he couldn't even hear the chirping of insects.
"It turns out to be real soil." Ivan squatted on the ground and picked up a pile of soil and rubbed it. The touch was no different from the soil outside.
But this place is quiet enough and no one will disturb it, but what about the storm?
When Ivan was thinking about it, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky, and the thunder was deafening. Ivan looked up at the sky and could only see thick dark clouds.
In an instant, heavy rain fell, the whistling wind made the trees sway, and the sound of raindrops hitting the branches and leaves could be heard.
Ivan was surprised by the power of the Room of Requirement. It could create such a large space out of thin air and restore the special celestial phenomena of the outside world.
Phew~
Ivan used his wand to fire a magic ray into the sky. After a while, it hit something and exploded into red fireworks. It seemed that this space did not extend infinitely, but had a limit.
I just don’t know how the stormy sky is formed. It seems that this place is more mysterious than I imagined.
Regardless of the fact that he was soaked in the pouring rain, Ivan started experimenting in this vast space. After confirming that this space was enough to meet his requirements, he walked out of the Room of Requirement with satisfaction.
All that remains is to wait until the other preparation steps are completed before you can proceed with the Animagus transformation.
Three nights later, Ivan successfully put the mandrake leaves into his mouth on this full moon night, stuck it on his tongue, and officially started practicing.
Ivan thought this was a simple job, but he soon realized the difficulty of it. When he went to bed on the first night, he almost swallowed the mandrake leaves.
When eating, you need to hide the mandrake leaves under your tongue and chew carefully and slowly, for fear of accidentally swallowing the leaves together.
"Ivan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Harry looked at Ivan's strange behavior and asked strangely.
"Well, it's nothing, I feel pretty good." Ivan said vaguely, holding a leaf in his mouth, which made it difficult for him to speak fluently.
"Are you sure you don't need to go see Madam Pomfrey?" Ron was also a little worried.
"No need." Ivan shook his head and rejected the kindness of several people. Then he cut off a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
He felt that the mandrake in his mouth might taste bad after a month. Can this thing really be used to prepare special potions?
Ivan kept complaining in his mind. In the past few days, he had completely stopped half of the exploration missions he had completed before.
The previous experience of using Polyjuice Potion clearly told him that this thing was not omnipotent. If a similar experience happened again, there would be no way for him to come back.
It would be better to wait until the Animagus transformation is completed and explore, just like Peter Pettigrew, who can move around Hogwarts almost freely in the form of a mouse.
But this premise is that his Animagus form is a small animal of small size. If it turns into the size of a stag, everyone will know that there is a problem when it appears in Hogwarts.
Thinking of this, Ivan turned his head and glanced at Hermione. Over the past few days, he still didn't understand whether the little witch knew what he did in the dormitory.
But I could still vaguely feel that Hermione seemed a little more distant from him and didn't take the initiative to talk to him for several days.
Forget it, who cares, practicing magic is more important
Ivan simply stopped thinking about it. Studying the Animagus practice notes recently was enough to give him a headache. Many difficult topics required spending academic points to study.
After Ivan finished eating and stood up to leave the auditorium, Hermione came out of the pile of girls with a plate and sat next to Harry and Ron.
"Hermione, why are you always avoiding Ivan recently? Did you have a fight?" Harry couldn't help but asked, always feeling that something was wrong with the relationship between his two good friends recently.
Could it be that there was some quarrel?
"No." Hermione shook her head, rejecting Harry's remarks, then hesitated, turned to look at Ron and spoke again. "Was Ivan playing wizard's chess with you on Saturday morning?"
"Yes, we played wizard chess all morning, what's wrong?" Ron glanced at Hermione in confusion, not understanding why she asked, but still nodded.
Hermione's face became more and more confused. Who could have been sneaking into the girls' dormitory in her disguise a few days ago.
Last Saturday, after returning to the dormitory from the library, Hermione inexplicably found that Lavender and Paraty were a little afraid of her. It was strange and at the same time, she figured out the whole story by making some insinuations.
Hermione knew immediately that someone had used Polyjuice Potion and disguised herself as herself, but she hid the news and did not reveal it or tell Professor McGonagall.
After all, there are not many little wizards in Hogwarts who can use the Transfiguration spell to easily turn a cup into a marmot.
And the only one who has come into contact with him these days and can easily get his hair is Ivan.
Although she didn't know what Ivan was doing in her dormitory, thinking that the newspapers she had cut and collected might be seen by Ivan, Hermione felt at a loss and her face felt like it was on fire.
It wasn't until Ron mentioned that Ivan had played wizard chess with him all morning on Saturday morning that the little witch became a little uncertain again, and she stabbed the steak on the plate full of holes with her fork.
Does he know it or not?
